Disclosed in the present invention are a medicine packing apparatus with a pair of discharging pipes selectively coupled with a hopper, which automatically performs selected medicine packing work and a selected cleaning method for the inside of the apparatus and which prevents particles generated by cleaning work from contaminating a unit for the medicine packing work, and a method for cleaning the inside of a medicine packing apparatus using the same. The disclosed medicine packing apparatus comprises: at least one tablet dropping path which is extended downward; multiple tablet cassettes which are placed adjacent to the tablet dropping path in order to discharge tablets stored therein to the tablet dropping path; a high-pressure air generating unit which causes the flow of high-pressure air for cleaning the inside of the at least one tablet dropping path by vertically flowing inside of the tablet dropping path; a hopper which is placed below the at least one tablet dropping path for the inflow of tablets and high-pressure air, and includes one bottom outlet on the bottom thereof; a packing work discharging pipe and a cleaning work discharging pipe which can be selectively connected with the bottom outlet; and a tablet packing machine which packs the tablets discharged through the packing work discharging pipe when the packing work discharging pipe is connected with the bottom outlet. Therefore, the provided medicine packing apparatus can selectively connect the packing work discharging pipe and the cleaning work discharging pipe to the bottom outlet by fixating the packing work discharging pipe and the cleaning work discharging pipe to one supporting body and by moving or rotating the supporting body. |
