Abstract
A drug packaging device includes: a storage in which drug units are stored; a supply channel communicating with the storage through a supply hole formed in a wall of the storage, extending from the storage, and supplying drug units discharged from the storage to a drug packaging member; and an actuator moving up and down and rotating the storage. The actuator moves the storage up or down to a position at which the storage communicates the supply channel, and rotates the storage to generate centrifugal force required to discharge the drug units from the storage to the supply channel. The supply channel includes: an inlet portion hingedly connected to the storage; an outlet portion which is a free end that is unfixed, and a vibrator installed at the inlet portion and vibrating the inlet portion.
