(Embodiment)
The packaging apparatus 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is used to package a plurality of types of medicines 400 (see FIG. 8) in a cup 300. The material which constitutes cup 300 is a resin material suitable for medicine protection. The cup 300 is divided into a housing 310 and a flange 320. In the housing portion 310, a space 310B for containing a prescription drug and an opening 310A for taking the medicine 400 into and out of the space 310B are formed. The flange 320 is provided around the opening 310A. The cup 300 contains a plurality of medicines 400 (see FIG. 8) classified according to the taking condition. An example of the dosing condition is the dosing time and the dosing days in one day. In a preferred example, one dose of the medicine 400 is contained in the containing portion 310 of one cup 300.

  The main elements of the packaging apparatus 1 are a packaging jig 10 and a table 100. The shape in plan view of the stand 100 is rectangular. The height of the pedestal 100 is higher than the height of the cup 300. The table 100 is provided with a jig support portion 110 for supporting the unifying jig 10 and a cup support portion 120 for supporting the cup 300. The jig support portion 110 positions the unifying jig 10 on the table 100. The cup support 120 positions the cup 300 relative to the platform 100. Positioning the unifying jig 10 and the cup 300 means, for example, fixing the positions of the unifying jig 10 and the cup 300 in a coordinate system defined in a plan view of the table 100. In one example, the jig support 110 includes a plurality of recesses 111 formed in the platform 100. The legs 31 </ b> B of the packaging jig 10 are inserted into the plurality of recesses 111, whereby the packaging jig 10 is positioned. The cup support 120 includes a plurality of holes 121 into which a plurality of cups 300 can be individually inserted. The cup 300 is positioned by inserting the housing portion 310 of the cup 300 into the hole 121. In a state where the housing portion 310 of the cup 300 is inserted into the hole 121, the bottom surface of the flange 320 of the cup 300 is in contact with the base 100, whereby the cup 300 is supported by the base 100. The plurality of cups 300 are placed on the table 100 in a state of being separated individually or in a state in which the flanges 320 of the adjacent cups 300 are connected by a connecting portion (not shown). In a preferred example, a guide for separating the cups 300 is provided at the connecting portion. Examples of guides are notches or perforations.

  The plurality of holes 121 can be divided into a plurality of rows 122 along the short side direction of the platform 100. A plurality of rows 122 are arranged in the long side direction of the stand 100. In one example, the number of holes 121 is the same as the number of times one doser takes medicine 400 for a fixed period. The fixed period is a period longer than one day, and the unit period is day, week, month or year. The number of holes 121 constituting one row 122 is the same as the number of times one doser takes the medicine 400 a day. The number of columns 122 is equal to the total number of unit periods defining a predetermined period. When the unit period is a day and the fixed period is a plurality of days, the number of columns 122 is the same as the number of days.

  The main elements of the single packaging jig 10 are a main body 20 and a shutter 80. Materials constituting the main body 20 and the shutter 80 can be arbitrarily selected. In a preferred example, a lightweight resin material is used to reduce the load on the operator. An example is acrylic resin and ABS resin. The main elements constituting the main body 20 are the lower layer 30, the intermediate layer 40, the upper layer 50, and the auxiliary layer 60. The lower layer 30 is a box. The middle layer 40 and the upper layer 50 are plates having approximately the same size as the lower layer 30. The shapes of the middle layer 40 and the upper layer 50 are shapes obtained by cutting out one corner from a rectangle. The middle layer 40 is disposed on the base 31 at a constant distance from the base 31 which is the bottom of the lower layer 30. The base 31 is a rectangular wall. The upper layer 50 is disposed on the intermediate layer 40. The auxiliary layer 60 is disposed on the upper layer 50. The lower layer 30, the intermediate layer 40 and the upper layer 50 are bonded by the bonding means 500. An example of the coupling means 500 is two bolts. The lower layer 30, the intermediate layer 40 and the upper layer 50 can be separated by removing the coupling means from the main body 20. Therefore, the main body 20 can be cleaned for each of the layers 30, 40, 50. The auxiliary layer 60 is not bonded to the lower layer 30, the intermediate layer 40, and the upper layer 50. The shutter 80 is disposed between the base 31 of the lower layer 30 and the intermediate layer 40 so as to slide relative to the body 20. The shutter 80 is a plate having approximately the same size as the lower layer 30, the intermediate layer 40, and the upper layer 50. The shape of the shutter 80 is a shape obtained by cutting two corners diagonally located from a rectangle.

  The body 20 comprises a plurality of guiding passages 70 for guiding the medicine 400 into the cup 300. The lower layer 30 is formed with a plurality of holes 71 penetrating the lower layer 30. The intermediate layer 40 is formed with a plurality of holes 72 penetrating the intermediate layer 40. In the upper layer 50 (see FIG. 6), a plurality of holes 73 penetrating the upper layer 50 are formed. A cylinder 75 is inserted into each hole 73. The holes 75 C formed in the cylinder 75 communicate the space on the auxiliary layer 60 side with respect to the upper layer 50 and the space on the intermediate layer 40 side with respect to the upper layer 50. Each guide passage 70 is constituted by a corresponding hole 75 C, a hole 72 and a hole 73 in the height direction of the main body 20. The shutter 80 is formed with a plurality of holes 81 penetrating the shutter 80. The shutter 80 slides with respect to the main body 20 to open and close all of the plurality of guide paths 70 collectively. When the position of the shutter 80 with respect to the main body 20 is the closed position (see FIG. 9), the portion between the plurality of holes 81 in the shutter 80 (hereinafter, “closing portion 83”) is the holes 71 of the lower layer 30 and the holes of the intermediate layer 40 Located between 72 and For this reason, the guide passage 70 is closed by the shutter 80. When the position of the shutter 80 with respect to the main body 20 is the open position (see FIG. 11), the plurality of holes 81 of the shutter 80 are located between the corresponding holes 71 of the lower layer 30 and the holes 72 of the intermediate layer 40. For this reason, the guide passage 70 is opened. When the shutter 80 slides from the closed position to the open position, the plurality of guide paths 70 are simultaneously opened. When the shutter 80 slides from the open position to the closed position, the plurality of guide paths 70 are collectively closed.

  When the position of the shutter 80 is in the closed position, the accommodation portion 84 is formed by the hole 75 C of the cylinder 75, the hole 72 of the intermediate layer 40, and the closing portion 83 of the shutter 80. When the medicine 400 is introduced into the guide passage 70 from the inlet 75D of the cylinder 75 in the state where the accommodating portion 84 is formed, the medicine 400 which has been introduced stays on the closing portion 83 and stays in the guide passage 70. Therefore, the drug 400 can be audited before the drug 400 is introduced into the cup 300. The medicine 400 on the closing portion 83 drops into the cup 300 via the guide passage 70 by its own weight as the shutter 80 moves from the closed position to the open position (see FIG. 13). Since the plurality of guide paths 70 are opened collectively, the medicines 400 remaining in the respective guide paths 70 are collectively guided to the corresponding cups 300. For this reason, the work efficiency for unification is improved.

  The detailed structure of the lower layer 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the main elements that make up the lower layer 30 are the base 31 and the wall 32. On the back surface 31A of the base 31, four legs 31B (see FIG. 1) are provided. The height of the leg 31B based on the back surface 31A is such that a gap 31C (see FIG. 8) is formed between the back surface 31A and the base 100 when the leg 31B is inserted into the recess 111 of the base 100. It has been decided. The wall 32 is provided at the edge of the base 31. The wall 32 is constituted by a first wall 32A and a second wall 32B along the short side of the base 31, and a third wall 32C and a fourth wall 32D along the long side of the base 31. The length of the first wall 32A is shorter than the short side of the base 31. The length of the second wall 32B is equal to the length of the short side of the base 31. The length of the third wall 32C is equal to the length of the long side of the base 31. The length of the fourth wall 32D is shorter than the length of the long side of the base 31. The first wall portion 32A and the third wall portion 32C constitute a first corner 35A. The second wall 32B and the third wall 32C constitute a second corner 35B. The second wall 32B and the fourth wall 32D constitute a third corner 35C. At a position diagonal to the second corner 35B in the wall portion 32, an open portion 35D in which a portion constituting the wall portion 32 does not exist is formed. A handle 33 is provided on each of the first wall 32A and the second wall 32B. The handle 33 is used to carry the single package jig 10.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the body 20 further comprises a guide 90 that guides the movement of the shutter 80 relative to the body 20. The guide 90 is provided on the base 31 of the lower layer 30. Elements constituting the guide 90 are a first guide 91, a second guide 92, a third guide 93, and a fourth guide 94. Each of the guide portions 91 to 94 is a member configured separately from the lower layer 30. The first guide portion 91 and the second guide portion 92 are plates smaller than the shutter 80. The third guide portion 93 and the fourth guide portion 94 are bars. The respective guide portions 91 to 94 are joined to the base 31 by joining means. An example of the bonding means is an adhesive, a bolt, and a fitting by asperity. The material which comprises each guide part 91-94 can be selected arbitrarily. An example is polyethylene terephthalate.

  The first guide portion 91 is provided in the vicinity of a first angle 35A formed by the first wall portion 32A and the third wall portion 32C on the base portion 31. A guide surface 91A is formed in the first guide portion 91. The guide surface 91A is formed at a position facing the shutter 80. The guide surface 91A is inclined with respect to the long side and the short side of the main body 20. The second guide 92 is provided in the vicinity of a third corner 35C formed by the third wall 32C and the fourth wall 32D. The second guide portion 92 is formed with a guide surface 92A. The guide surface 92A is formed at a position facing the shutter 80. The guide surface 92A is inclined with respect to the long and short sides of the main body 20. The guide surface 91A and the guide surface 92A are parallel. The third guide portion 93 is provided on the base 31 at a position corresponding to the middle portion of the third wall 32C. The third guide portion 93 is parallel to the guide surfaces 91A and 92A. The fourth guide portion 94 is provided on the base portion 31 at a position corresponding to the middle portion of the fourth wall portion 32D. The fourth guide portion 94 is parallel to the guide surfaces 91A and 92A.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the shutter 80, a first guided surface 80A in contact with the first guide surface 91A, a second guided surface 80B in contact with the second guide surface 92A, and a third guide portion 93 are inserted. A first groove 80C to be inserted and a second groove 80D into which the fourth guide portion 94 is inserted are formed. The length of the first groove 80C in the longitudinal direction of the first groove 80C is longer than the length of the third guide portion 93 in the longitudinal direction of the third guide portion 93. The length of the second groove 80D in the longitudinal direction of the second groove 80D is longer than the length of the fourth guide portion 94 in the longitudinal direction of the fourth guide portion 94. The difference between the length of the first groove 80C and the length of the third guide 93, and the difference between the length of the second groove 80D and the length of the fourth guide 94 make the position of the shutter 80 close and open. The distance by which the shutter 80 moves relative to the body 20 to change it is equal to or longer than that distance.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the shutter 80 is disposed on the base 31 of the lower layer 30, the first guided surface 80A and the first guide surface 91A are in contact with each other, and the second guided surface 80B and the second The guide surface 92A is in contact, the third guide portion 93 is inserted into the first groove 80C, and the fourth guide portion 94 is inserted into the second groove 80D. When a force including a component acting on at least one of the long side direction and the short side direction of the main body 20 is applied to the shutter 80, the shutter 80 slides obliquely to the main body 20 along the guide 90. Since the sliding direction of the shutter 80 with respect to the main body 20 is oblique, the amount of movement of the shutter 80 required to open and close the guide passage 70 is reduced.

  The shutter 80 has a first side 84A facing the first wall 32A, a first guided surface 80A, a second side 84B facing the second wall 32B, a second guided surface 80B, and a third wall 32C. And a fourth side surface 84D facing the fourth wall 32D. As shown in FIG. 9, when the shutter 80 is in the closed position, the second side surface 84B of the shutter 80 contacts the second wall 32B, and the third side 84C contacts the third wall 32C. The shutter 80 can not move to the opposite side of the main body 20 from the open position. Further, a gap 84AX is formed between the first side surface 84A of the shutter 80 and the first wall 32A, and a gap 84DX is formed between the fourth side 84D of the shutter 80 and the fourth wall 32D. . The distance of the gaps 84AX and 84DX in the sliding direction of the shutter 80 is equal to or longer than the distance the shutter 80 moves with respect to the main body 20 to change the position of the shutter 80 from the closed position to the open position. .

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the position of the shutter 80 is the open position, the first side surface 84A of the shutter 80 contacts the first wall 32A, and the fourth side 84D contacts the fourth wall 32D. The shutter 80 can not move to the opposite side of the main body 20 from the closed position. Further, a gap 84BX is formed between the second side surface 84B of the shutter 80 and the second wall 32B, and a gap 84CX is formed between the third side 84C of the shutter 80 and the third wall 32C. . The distance of the gaps 84BX and 84CX in the sliding direction of the shutter 80 is equal to or longer than the distance traveled by the shutter 80 relative to the main body 20 to change the position of the shutter 80 from the open position to the closed position. .

  As shown in FIG. 4, the shutter 80 is provided with an operation unit 82 used by the operator for operating the shutter 80. The operation unit 82 is configured such that the operator can put a finger on it. The configuration of the operation unit 82 can be arbitrarily selected. In the first example, the operation unit 82 is a hole passing through the shutter 80. In the second example, the operation unit 82 is a protrusion provided on the surface of the shutter 80.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the outer shapes of the intermediate layer 40, the upper layer 50, and the auxiliary layer 60 in plan view of the single-packing jig 10 are the same. Specifically, the outer shape is a shape in which one of four corners of the rectangle is cut obliquely with respect to the long side and the short side of the rectangle. As shown in FIG. 2, obliquely cut portions in each of the intermediate layer 40, the upper layer 50, and the auxiliary layer 60 are referred to as a notch 10A. Since the notch 10A is formed in each layer 40, 50, 60, a part of the shutter 80 protrudes from the notch 10A to the outside of each layer 40, 50, 60 in a plan view. In the portion, an operation unit 82 for operating the shutter 80 is formed. Therefore, the operator can easily put a finger on the operation unit 82.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the lower layer 30 further includes a display unit 34 that displays the position of the shutter 80 with respect to the main body 20. The display unit 34 includes a closed display unit 34A that displays that the position of the shutter 80 is at the closed position, and an open display unit 34B that indicates that the position of the shutter 80 is at the open position. The closed display portion 34A is formed in a portion of the base 31 from the fourth wall 32D. Specifically, when the position of the shutter 80 is the closed position (see FIG. 9), the shutter 80 is formed in a portion adjacent to the fourth side surface 84D of the shutter 80 in a plan view. The open display portion 34 </ b> B is formed on a portion of the base portion 31 from the fourth wall portion 32 </ b> D. Specifically, when the position of the shutter 80 is the open position (see FIG. 12), the shutter 80 is formed in a portion adjacent to the fourth side surface 84D of the shutter 80 in a plan view. The configuration of each display unit 34A, 34B can be arbitrarily selected. In the first example, the display portions 34A and 34B are grooves formed in the base 31. In a preferred example, the grooves of each indicator 34A, 34B are colored with paint or ink of a different color. In this case, the operator can more accurately recognize the position of the shutter 80. In addition, since the paint or the ink does not come in contact with the shutter 80, the paint or the ink is not easily peeled off. In the second example, each of the display portions 34A and 34B is a seal attached to the base 31. In a preferred example, stickers of different colors or designs are affixed to each display 34A, 34B. Also in this case, the operator can more accurately recognize the position of the shutter 80.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the shape of the hole 72 is defined by two arcs 72A, 72B. The arc 72A expands radially outward from the center side in the radial direction of the hole 72. The arc 72 B is recessed from the radially outer side to the central side in the radial direction of the hole 72. The arcs 72A and the arcs 72B are alternately formed in the circumferential direction. The hole 72 (hereinafter referred to as "reference hole 72X") has a circular shape, assuming that the arc 72A is formed instead of the arc 72B. The diameter of the reference hole 72X is the same as the diameter of the hole 75C of the cylinder 75 and the diameter of the hole 81 of the shutter 80. When the shutter 80 is in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 10, the closing portion 83 is positioned so as to overlap the reference hole 72X in plan view. The shape of the closing portion 83 with respect to the reference hole 72X is defined by two types of arcs 83A and 83B. The arc 83A expands radially outward from the center side in the radial direction of the reference hole 72X. The arc 83B is recessed from the radially outer side to the central side in the radial direction of the reference hole 72X. The arcs 83A and the arcs 83B are alternately formed in the circumferential direction. Arc 83A overlaps the edge of reference hole 72X. The arc 83B is located closer to the center of the reference hole 72X than the edge of the reference hole 72X. For this reason, when the position of the shutter 80 is in the closed position, a gap is formed between the closing portion 83 and the reference hole 72X. The arc 72B of the hole 72 is formed to fill this gap. According to the hole 72 in which the arc 72B is formed, when the shutter 80 is in the closed position, as shown in FIG. 10, the arc 72B of the hole 72 and the arc 83B of the closing portion 83 overlap in plan view. For this reason, the entire guiding passage 70 is closed by the closing portion 83.

  By widening the distance between the adjacent holes 81 in the shutter 80, it is possible to form a circular closing portion 83 which does not include the arc 83B. However, the size of the unwrapping jig 10 is increased. In the single packaging jig 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 and the like, the intervals between adjacent holes 81 in the shutter 80 are determined such that the size of the single packaging jig 10 is reduced. This size is a size which the packaging tool 10 does not protrude from the stand 100 in planar view of the packaging apparatus 1. Since the size of the unwrapping jig 10 is thus determined, the closing portion 83 includes the arc 83B. Under this condition, when the position of the shutter 80 is in the closed position, the shape of the hole 72 of the intermediate layer 40 forms two arcs 72A so that the entire guiding passage 70 is closed by the closing portion 83 of the shutter 80. , 72B. For this reason, when the position of the shutter 80 is the closed position, the medicine 400 introduced from the inlet 75D of the guide passage 70 into the housing portion 84 is prevented from leaking from the housing portion 84 to the cup 300 side.

  As shown in FIG. 8, each cylinder 75 is constituted by a first cylinder 75A and a second cylinder 75B. The structure of each cylinder 75A, 75B is the same. The first cylinder 75A is divided into an inserted portion 75AX and a projecting portion 75AY. The insertion portion 75AX is inserted into the hole 73 and coupled to the upper layer 50. The protrusion 75AY protrudes from the surface 50B of the upper layer 50 to the auxiliary layer 60 side. The second cylinder 75B is divided into an inserted portion 75BX and a protrusion 75BY. The insertion portion 75 BX is inserted into the hole 73 and is coupled to the upper layer 50. The protrusion 75BY protrudes from the back surface 50A of the upper layer 50 to the intermediate layer 40 side. Since the main body 20 is provided with the projecting portion 75AY of the first cylinder 75A, the medicine 400 intended to be introduced into the guide passage 70 falls off the guide passage 70 and falls on the surface 60A of the auxiliary layer 60. Entry into the other guiding passage 70 is avoided.

  The volume of each cylinder 75A, 75B can be selected arbitrarily. In the first example, the volume of each cylinder 75A, 75B is equal to the volume of the housing portion 310 of the cup 300. In this case, all the medicines 400 intended to be accommodated in one cup 300 are put into the guide passage 70 in the state where the accommodating portion 84 is formed, and the medicines 400 which are put in do not overflow from the cylinder 75B. It can be confirmed that the cup 300 does not overflow when the cup 400 is put into the cup 300. In the second example, the volume of each cylinder 75A, 75B is smaller than the volume of the housing portion 310 of the cup 300. Also in this case, as in the first example, it can be confirmed whether all the medicines 400 to be stored in one cup 300 overflow the cup 300 or not. In the third example, the volume of each cylinder 75A, 75B is larger than the volume of the housing portion 310 of the cup 300.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the corner of the auxiliary layer 60 is provided with holes 60 </ b> B in which the threads of a screw, which is an example of the coupling means 500, are disposed. The auxiliary layer 60 is formed with a plurality of holes 74 penetrating the auxiliary layer 60. When the auxiliary layer 60 is disposed on the upper layer 50, the protrusions 75AY (see FIG. 8) of the first cylinder 75A corresponding to each of the plurality of holes 74 are inserted. In a preferred example, the color of the surface 60A of the auxiliary layer 60 is determined so as to enhance the discrimination between the drug 400 and the auxiliary layer 60. The color of the surface 60A can be arbitrarily selected. An example is black or blue. These colors have a strong contrast with the color of general medicine 400. For this reason, the identifiability of the medicine 400 and the auxiliary layer 60 is further enhanced. The color of the surface 85 (see FIG. 4) of the shutter 80 is similarly determined. The method for determining the color of the surface 60A of the auxiliary layer 60 and the surface 85 of the shutter 80 can be arbitrarily selected. One example is a method of coloring the auxiliary layer 60 and the shutter 80, or a method of forming the auxiliary layer 60 and the shutter 80 with a material having a color that can enhance the identification. In order to be able to select the color of the surface 60A of the auxiliary layer 60 and the color of the surface 85 of the shutter 80 according to the color of the medicine 400, a plurality of auxiliary layers 60 and shutters 80 with different colors of the surfaces 60A, 85 are prepared.

  An example of the unwrapping method using the unwrapping apparatus 1 will be described. In one example, a pharmacist implements a packaging method in a pharmacy where the packaging apparatus 1 is installed. One packaging method includes an installation process, a closing process, a charging process, an inspection process, an opening process, a separation process, and a lid attachment process.

  In the installation step, the accommodation portion 310 of the cup 300 is inserted into each of the plurality of holes 121 of the platform 100. Next, the unwrapping jig 10 is placed on the table 100. After the installation process has been carried out, the closing process is carried out. In the closing process, the shutter 80 is operated such that the guiding passage 70 is closed. In the injection step, one medicine 400 out of a plurality of medicines 400 is injected into the guide passage 70 from the inlet 75D of the guide passage 70. As shown in FIG. 8, the medicine 400 introduced into the guide passage 70 passes through the hole 72 and rests on the shutter 80. After the input process is performed, the audit process is performed. In the inspection process, the operator looks in the guide passage 70 from the entrance 75D of the guide passage 70, and visually confirms whether or not the specified number of medicines 400 exist in each guide passage 70. After the audit process is performed, the release process is performed. In the opening process, the shutter 80 is operated such that the guiding passage 70 is opened. The closing process, the input process, the audit process, and the opening process are sequentially performed for each type of medicine 400. The separation process is performed after the closing process, the input process, the inspection process, and the opening process are performed for all types of drugs 400. In the separation step, the single-packing jig 10 is removed from the stand 100. After the separation process is performed, the lid attachment process is performed. In the lid attachment step, a lid (not shown) is joined to the cup 300 so as to close the opening 310A of the cup 300.

  According to the single wrapping jig 10 and the single wrapping method, the following actions and effects can be obtained. Since the guiding passage 70 for guiding the medicine 400 to the cup 300 is provided in the one-in-one jig 10, a plurality of medicines 400 can be integrated in the cup 300. In addition, since the shutter 80 for closing the guiding passage 70 is provided in the one-piece jig 10, an inspection can be performed on the medicine 400 remaining in the guiding passage 70 closed by the shutter 80. In addition, since the medicine 400 is introduced into the guide passage 70 for each type, the medicine 400 can be audited more accurately.

(Modification)
The above-mentioned embodiment is an illustration of the form which the bundling jig and the bundling method concerning the present invention can take, and it is not intending limiting the form. The packaging jig and the packaging method according to the present invention may take forms different from the forms exemplified in the embodiments. An example is a form in which part of the configuration of the embodiment is replaced, changed or omitted, or a configuration in which a new configuration is added to the embodiment. An example of the modification of embodiment is shown below.

  The configuration of the guide passage 70 can be arbitrarily changed. In one example, the cylinder 75 is omitted from the main body 20, and the holes 71 in the lower layer 30, the holes 72 in the intermediate layer 40, and the holes 73 in the upper layer 50 constitute a guiding passage 70.

  The configuration of the shutter 80 can be arbitrarily changed. In the first example, the shutter 80 is disposed between the lower layer 30 and the intermediate layer 40 so as to slide in the direction along the long side of the main body 20.
