Abstract: Medicine packaging apparatuses and methods for accurately determining a remaining sheet amount of a medicine packaging sheet are described. The apparatus includes: a roll support section to which a core tube of a medicine packaging sheet roll is attached; a sensor disposed in the roll support section for outputting a count value according to a rotation amount; a wireless reader-writer unit for writing information to a core tube IC tag and reading said information; an information generation section for generating information to be written to the core tube IC tag; a remaining sheet amount estimation section for estimating a current amount of remaining sheet based on the information and dimensional information of the core tube; and a controller which selectively performs an operation if a reference time-point count value is not yet written to the core tube IC tag and another operation if the count value is already written thereto.

Abstract: A tablet cassette (2) comprises: a tablet container (5) in which tablets are stored; and a rotor (8) which is rotatably housed in the tablet container (5). The rotor (8) has: a tablet guideway (8b) for guiding tablets in the tablet container (5) to a tablet discharge port (9) of the tablet container (5); and an adjustment part (33, 64) which is capable of adjusting the dimension of the tablet guideway (8b). This tablet guideway adjustment device (100) comprises: an adjustment member (102) which engages the adjustment part (33, 64); a manipulation amount detection unit (131) which detects a manipulation amount of the adjustment member (102); and a notification unit (201) which, on the basis of the manipulation amount detected by the manipulation amount detection unit (131), notifies a user of adjustment assistance information that is necessary for the user to make an adjustment to the adjustment part (33, 64) by means of the adjustment member (102).

Abstract: A rotor having a plurality of tablet guide paths is rotatably contained in a cassette main body. The rotor facing an inverse conical-shaped inclined inner surface of the cassette main body includes an inclined outer surface in each of the plurality of tablet guide paths. A distance between the inverse conical-shaped inclined inner surface of the cassette main body and the inclined outer surface of the table guide path can be adjusted by raising and lowering the rotor with respect to the cassette main body. A distance between a partitioning member and a tablet support table can be adjusted by raising and lowering the tablet support table provided on a lower side of the partitioning member. A distance between a first vertical protruding piece and a second vertical protruding piece constituting the tablet guide path can be adjusted by relatively rotating a first movable member and a second movable member.

Abstract: Provided is a medicine packaging device. The medicine packaging device includes: a reader-writer that reads information from an IC tag installed at a supply core of an ink ribbon roll detachably installed to an ink ribbon cassette as well as writes information to the IC tag; a motor control unit that controls a winding motor for rotating a winding core, based on a used length of the ink ribbon which is information read from the IC tag, so that the ink ribbon of the ink ribbon roll runs in a winding direction at a higher speed than a feeding speed of a continuous sheet for packaging; and a written information output unit that outputs information showing the used length of the ink ribbon which has been changed due to use of the ink ribbon, to the reader/writer as information written on the IC tag.
