Description

The present invention relates to a medicine packaging device that is incorporated into a medicine packaging machine or used alone for packaging various medicines such as tablets and powders, and more specifically, intermittently feeds a long sachet for use in medicine packaging. The present invention relates to a drug packaging device that puts a drug into it while sorting and seals it.
It also relates to the use of wireless tags.

  The wireless tag is also called an RFID (Radio Frequency Identificatoin) tag, an electronic tag, a data carrier, a data storage body, and the like, and includes an IC equipped with a memory and a control circuit and an antenna and a communication circuit for short-range wireless communication. I have. When a command signal is transmitted from the reader / writer using radio waves, an alternating magnetic field, or the like, it is received, and in response to the command, reading / writing of tag information in the memory or returning to the reader / writer is performed. It is used in various fields such as merchandise management and logistics management, and the amount of use and application range are expanding with downsizing and price reduction.

  Such a wireless tag is also used in the field of dispensing equipment. For example, powder container transport management in which a wireless tag is attached to a powder container also serving as a measuring container (see, for example, Patent Document 1), and placed on a medicine shelf. On the tray by managing a medicine device bottle with a sitting body (see, for example, Patent Document 2), managing a container that stores various dispensed medicines (see, for example, Patent Document 3), and incorporating a wireless tag into a medicine seat It has been introduced for the management of the setting status and usage status of chemicals (for example, see Patent Document 4), prevention of erroneous mounting of a PTP cassette (for example, see Patent Document 5), and the like.

  A drug packaging device that sequentially feeds a long bandage in the longitudinal direction and wraps a drug, for example, collects and drops a drug discharged from a drug feeder, a drug distribution and division mechanism, etc. In many cases, it is housed in a low-casing housing, but it is equipped with a banding band supply mechanism, a printing mechanism, and a division sealing mechanism that are arranged in order from upstream to downstream along the banding band feeding path (for example, patents). Reference 6-9). The bandage supply mechanism feeds a long bandage in the longitudinal direction while unwinding the bandage roll, and the printing mechanism supplies information on the medicine to be packaged in the bandage sent to the drug loading position. Patient information, etc. is printed, and the sorting enclosure mechanism divides the dividing band sent to the medicine loading position to form a sorting storage room, and drops the supplied medicine into the sorting storage room one by one. By putting and sealing, a package is made.

In addition, the bandage feeding mechanism is dispersed along the bandage feeding path, but this mechanism is incorporated in a guide member such as a guide pin attached to the bandage feeding mechanism or the printing mechanism, or in the division sealing mechanism. It comprises a bandage pulling mechanism such as a roller, and a bandage discharge mechanism such as a roller and a belt provided further downstream of the cutter immediately downstream thereof.
Most of each of these mechanisms is mounted on one side of a substrate (base plate) to which the drug is dropped. In the vertical type, the substrate is fixed vertically and each mechanism is attached to the front surface thereof (see, for example, Patent Document 6). In the horizontal type, the substrate is held horizontally, and each mechanism is attached to the upper surface thereof (see, for example, Patent Document 7), and in the inclined type, the substrate is inclined (see, for example, Patent Document 8).

Regardless of the type, the conventional medicine packaging device is used to intermittently feed and classify a long parcel band to be used for the medicine parcel, and when the drug is inserted and sealed, the information on the medicine to be packaged is the bandage. However, it is not designed to digitize drug information and put it in a bandage. In other words, there is no medicine packaging device that attaches wireless tags one after another while sequentially feeding the bandages.
The use of the wireless tag in the medicine packaging apparatus is limited to managing the wrapping paper in roll units by inserting the wireless tag into the core material of the wrapping paper (see, for example, Patent Document 9).

JP-A-11-226086 JP 2004-148036 A JP 2009-112391 A JP 2009-125320 A JP 2009-131560 A JP 2000-175990 A JP 2005-053538 A Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-199280 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-230242

As described above, in the conventional medicine packaging apparatus, information management related to the packaged body in which the medicine is divided and enclosed in the long bandage band is performed based on the print information.
However, since visually readable print information is quantitatively limited, it is best to include patient names, drug names, doses, usage, etc., and the amount of print information encoded with barcodes, 2D codes, etc. The reading operation is troublesome instead of relieving the physical constraints. In addition, since printing on the bandage can be performed only before the bandage is deformed by storing the medicine, it is performed before the medicine is loaded into the bandage. In the case of sudden occurrence, there is also a complaint that the printed information and the stored medicine are not matched with each other at that time.

Therefore, it is conceivable to attach a wireless tag that has a large amount of information to be carried and can be easily read and updated easily. And as an aspect of the attachment, like the conventional device described above, it is thought that a wireless tag is attached in advance to a bandage that becomes a package of a management object.
However, some packages have a fixed size, others have a variable size, and a series of empty packages may be formed between appropriate groups such as prescription units and dispensing units. Therefore, the conventional method of attaching the wireless tag to the bandage in advance cannot be simply followed.
Therefore, it is a technical problem to realize a medicine packaging apparatus that attaches a wireless tag to a packaging body after the medicine is charged when the medicine is packaged while sequentially feeding the packaging band.

  The medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention (Solution means 1) was devised in order to solve such a problem. The medicine packaging device for feeding a long packaging band by feeding it in the longitudinal direction, and the medicine A printing mechanism that prints information related to the medicine scheduled to be packaged in the bandage sent to the loading position, and a sorting storage room is formed in the packing band sent to the medicine loading position, and the medicine is put into the sorting storage room A radio tag in a medicine packaging device in which a sorting and sealing mechanism for sealing and a packing band discharging mechanism for further sending and discharging a packing band containing medicines are arranged in order from upstream to downstream along a packing band feeding path. A tag supply mechanism for feeding a long tape, which has been temporarily fixed in a line, to the tag sticking position in the wrapping band feed path in the longitudinal direction, and the wireless tag supplied to the tag sticking position to the tape To the bandage A tag attaching mechanism for switching, and a tag writer for writing data to a wireless tag in the vicinity of the tag attaching position. The wireless tag is pasted and the information on the medicine already put in the wireless tag is written by the tag writer.

  Further, the medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention (Solution means 2) is the medicine packaging apparatus of the above-mentioned Solution means 1, wherein the tag sticking position is a temporary part of the packing band discharge mechanism in the packing band feeding path. It is characterized in that it is located downstream.

  Furthermore, the medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention (Solution means 3) is the medicine packaging apparatus of the above solution means 1 and 2, and when the wireless tag is attached to the bandage, the wireless tag writing information and the bandage printing information Is pasted while avoiding the print area, and when the RFID tag writing information and the bandage print information are not matched, they are pasted over the print area.

  In such a medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention (solution 1), the above-described tag supply mechanism and tag sticking mechanism are provided, so that the medicine is packaged when the medicine is packaged while sequentially feeding the packaging band. A wireless tag can be attached to the body, and a tag writer is also provided so that drug information can be written in the wireless tag. Quality and workability will be improved. In addition, the wireless tag is attached to the compartment where the medicine has been added, and information related to the already-added medicine is written in the wireless tag. Even when a sudden occurrence occurs, accurate information reflecting the contents is written in the wireless tag. Moreover, even when a wireless tag is introduced, printing that is optimal for visual confirmation can be used in combination.

  Moreover, in the medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention (solution 2), since the tag sticking position is set after the bandage discharging mechanism, the mounting density is high and it is difficult to add large parts. In addition, a place where there is little space for consumables replacement is avoided, tag attachment mechanism and tag supply mechanism can be easily added, and wireless tag attachment to the bandage is naturally applied to drugs already charged Will be performed.

  Furthermore, in the medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention (Solution means 3), when the printing and the wireless tag are used together, the wireless tag is pasted while avoiding the printing area when the carrying information of both is consistent. , You can use both information freely. On the other hand, when the information is not consistent with each other, the printed content is incorrect due to a sudden change in the injected drug, etc., and the wireless tag is pasted over the print area, and the printed content is Or partially hidden so that erroneous information cannot be visually read or is difficult to read. Therefore, the inconvenience when the stored medicine and the print information are not matched is eliminated by attaching the wireless tag.

The divided enclosure mechanism 50 that puts and seals the medicine into each formed compartment storage chamber 91 (each package) and the dividing body 90 that is the dividing band 8 that separately stores the medicine are further sent to the receiving box 17. Bandage discharge machine And it includes a 60.

  In addition to these bandage supply mechanism 30, printing mechanism 40, sorting and sealing mechanism 50, and bandage discharge mechanism 60, a handle 22 and several fixed rollers 23 are mounted on the flat upper surface of the substrate 21. The mechanisms 30, 40, 50, 60 other than 22 are arranged in a plane in order from the upstream to the downstream along the dividing band feeding path. Further, the medicine packaging device 20 is provided with a tag adhering to the dividing band feeding path in order to attach the wireless tag 81 to the divided storage chamber 91 of the package 90 obtained by dividing the medicine with the dividing band 8. The mechanism 80, the tag writer 74 facing the tag sticking mechanism 73 across the wrapping band feed path for writing the information of the medicines already charged in the wireless tag 81, and the tape 80 at the tag sticking position in the gap between them. A tag supply mechanism 70 for feeding in is also provided.

The substrate 21 is provided below the medicine collecting mechanism 14 in a state of being pushed into the housing 15, that is, at a place where the medicine is dropped, and due to the inclination, the installation side of the bandage supply mechanism 30 becomes high, and the receiving box 17. The wrapping band 8 that is closer to the side and the discharge side of the wrapping body 90 is lower.
The bandage supply mechanism 30 (see FIGS. 1B and 1C) has a bandage roll formed by winding a long bandage 8 folded in advance on a paper or plastic core tube on the bandage shaft support 31. The bandage roll 8 is rotated and unwound to feed the bandage 8 in order from the tip. The self-running supply roller driven by the electric motor, the runaway prevention brake, the tension adjustment roller, the damper, etc. It is attached.

  The printing mechanism 40 (FIGS. 1C and 1D) is mainly composed of a platen 41 and a print head 42 facing the dividing band 8 as if sandwiched from both sides, and one side is supported by the platen 41. Further, an ink ribbon feeding mechanism for feeding an ink ribbon is attached between the dividing band 8 and the print head 42 for printing from the other side. Around the printing mechanism 40, several fixed rollers 23 are arranged along the dividing band feeding path, and guided by the fixed roller 23, the dividing band 8 passes from the dividing band supply mechanism 30 through the printing mechanism 40. Thus, the medicine is fed into a medicine feeding position, which is a place of the medicine feeding hopper 52 described below, in the packing band feeding path.

  The section enclosing mechanism 50 (see FIGS. 1C to 1D) is obliquely implanted with respect to the substrate 21 and has a substantially vertical posture, and a pair is erected on both sides of the dividing band feeding path. The holding member 51 that regulates the vibration by sandwiching the dividing band 8 from both sides, and in the operation state of being pressed into the casing 15 together with the substrate 21, is located directly below the medicine collecting mechanism 14 and is placed in the compartmented storage chamber of the dividing band 8. The medicine injection hopper 52 for injecting the medicine, the heat-sealing horizontal seal heating element and the vertical seal heating element are integrated to form, for example, a Γ-shape (see FIG. 1D) or a T-shape (not shown). A sealing mechanism 53, a packing band pulling mechanism 54 composed of a pulling roller or the like for holding and pulling the packing band 8, and an electronic cam mechanism for operating the medicine charging hopper 52, the sealing mechanism 53 and the like in an interlocking manner.

  The bandage discharge mechanism 60 (see FIGS. 1 (c) and (e)) discharges the medicine from the medicine packaging device 20 and further stores it in the receiving box 17 by further sending the parting band 8 containing the medicine separately, that is, the body 90. For this purpose, a cutter 61, a discharge roller 62, and a discharge belt 63 are arranged in order from the upstream to the downstream along the dividing band feeding path. The cutter 61 cuts the bandage 8 that has become the packing body 90, or perforates the bandage 8, and the discharge roller 62 remains in the bandage feed path even if cut. The discharge belt 63 holds the dividing band 8 and feeds it up to the receiving box 17.

  The tag supply mechanism 70 (see FIGS. 1C and 1E) holds a roll of a long tape 80 in which the wireless tags 81 are arranged and temporarily fixed with a weak adhesive or the like, and the shaft rotates to rotate the tape. A tape feeding unit 71 that feeds in the longitudinal direction while unwinding the roll, and a tape collection unit 72 that wraps and collects the tape 80 returned from the tape feeding unit 71 in order and collects the tape 80 around the core tube. By sequentially feeding the tape 80 in the longitudinal direction while passing through the surface facing the tag writer 74 of the attaching mechanism 73, the wireless tags 81 are supplied one after another to the tag attaching position in the packing band feeding path.

The tag sticking mechanism 73 includes a movable member that advances and retreats toward the dividing band feeding path, and keeps the tape 80 away from the dividing band 8 when retreating, but pushes the tape 80 and separates the wireless tag 81 there when moving forward. The bandage 8 is pressed against a portion in front of the tag writer 74. In addition, the medicine packaging device is provided on the contact surface of the wireless band 81 so that the wireless tag 81 supplied to the tag attaching position can be peeled off from the tape 80 and attached to the dividing band 8 only by the forward / backward movement. A pressure-sensitive adhesive or adhesive having a stronger adhesion than that of the pressure-sensitive adhesive for temporary fixing with 20 is attached in advance.
The tag writer 74 may be a commercially available general-purpose product as long as data can be written to the wireless tag 81 in the vicinity of the tag attaching position, but here also serves as a receiving member for tag attaching.

  The content and operation of data writing to the wireless tag 81 by the tag writer 74 and the content and operation of printing to the bandage 8 by the printing mechanism 40 are prepared by a controller (not shown) based on prescription data and dispensing instruction data derived therefrom. Although the operation control is performed, printing is performed before the medicine is loaded from the medicine loading hopper 52 into the bandaging band 8, whereas data writing to the wireless tag 81 is performed after the medicine is loaded. When the wireless tag 81 is affixed to the wireless tag 81, when the information written to the wireless tag 81 (wireless tag writing information) and the print information to the bandage 8 (the bandage printing information) match, A tag pasting operation is performed at a timing when the bandage 8 overlaps the bandage 8 but is out of the printing area, and information written to the wireless tag 81 and information printed on the bandage 8 are printed. Bets is adapted to tag affixing operation is performed at the timing when the wireless tag 81 overlaps the printing areas of the minute bandage 8 when not aligned

  About the chemical | medical agent packaging apparatus of this Example 1, the use aspect and operation | movement are demonstrated referring drawings. 1A is a front view of the medicine packaging machine 10 with the front door removed, and FIG. 1B is a side view of the medicine packaging machine 10 with the medicine packaging device 20 pulled out. FIG. 2 shows a package 90 formed by dividing the medicine by the packing band 8, and (a) and (b) show a wireless tag for each package 90 consisting of a series of divided storage chambers 91. An example in which 81 is pasted one by one, (c) is an example in which one wireless tag 81 is pasted for each package, that is, for each compartment storage chamber 91.

  In the case of dispensing powder, a predetermined amount of powder measured in advance is distributed manually to the powder dividing device 12, and in the case of dispensing tablets, the required number of tablets are handed in advance to the tablet handing device 13. In case of mixed sachets, the powder distribution and tablet handing are completed. As a result (see FIG. 1 (a)), preparations are made to sequentially drop the medicine from the medicine collection mechanism 14 to the medicine packaging device 20 one by one. Regarding the medicine packaging device 20, the state of the bandage 8, the tape 80, and the ink ribbon is checked, and if it is missing or insufficient, it is replenished and replaced. The state is confirmed visually by opening the front door or through a transparent window on the front door, and replenishment / exchange of the packing band 8 and the tape 80 is performed by opening the front door and pulling out the medicine packaging device 20 (FIG. 1). (See (b)).

When the medicine packaging device 20 is replenished with the bandage 8 and the tape 80, the packaging state of the medicine packaging device 20 is adjusted. Therefore, the substrate 21 is pushed back to place the medicine packaging device 20 in the housing 15, and the front door is also closed. Then, the medicine packaging machine 10 is caused to automatically perform medicine packaging.
When the automatic packaging starts, the medicine is delivered to the medicine input hopper 52 of the medicine packaging device 20 from the powder dividing device 12 and the tablet handing device 13 via the medicine collecting mechanism 14 one by one, and the medicine packaging device 20 uses the medicine. Is divided and packaged in a bandage 8.

  Specifically, the operation of the division packaging is as follows. In the medicine packaging device 20, the bandage 8 is fed from the bandage roll by the bandage supply mechanism 30, and the bandage feeding mechanism 54 and the fixed roller 23 set the bandage feeding path. It is forwarded. At that time, the dividing band 8 is intermittently fed in the longitudinal direction in the unit of the length of the compartment storage chamber, and each time the printing mechanism 40 prints out medicine information such as the patient name and usage on the part of the compartment 8 to be stored separately. In the sorting and sealing mechanism 50, when one pack of medicine is supplied from the medicine input hopper 52 into the part of the packing band 8 between the pressing member 51 and the seal mechanism 53, and then the packing band 8 is intermittently fed. For example, the sealed storage chamber 91 (packaging) in which the medicine is stored is completed by being sealed by, for example, heat sealing and sealing vertically and horizontally by the sealing mechanism 53.

Such intermittent feeding, printing, medicine charging, and sealing are repeated under the control of the controller to perform a series of medicine packaging processing, but at the downstream packing band discharge mechanism 60, by the cutter 61, While a perforation is formed between a series of compartment storage chambers 91 having the same prescription unit or dispensing unit, the dividing band 8 is cut off when the prescription unit or the dispensing unit is switched, and the medicine-filled compartment storage chamber 91 is formed. A continuous package 90 is completed (see FIG. 2).
Then, the package 90 is discharged from the medicine packaging device 20 by the discharge roller 62 and the discharge belt 63 and accommodated in the receiving box 17.

  In addition, at that time, the wireless tag 81 is attached to the medicine storage completed compartment 91 of the package 90 by the tag attaching mechanism 73 facing the package 90 at the banding discharge mechanism 60, and the wireless tag 81 The information on the already-added medicine is written in the tag writer 74. The wireless tag writing information includes additional information such as the patient's medical history and medical record information, in addition to the basic information composed of the bandage print information that has been pre-printed on the bandage 8 by the printing mechanism 40. The controller manages both the RFID tag writing information and the preceding bandage printing information, and the controller can grasp any unforeseen situations such as missing parts or falling defects that occur between printing and dispensing of medicine. Therefore, if the actual dose is different from the schedule, basic information obtained by partially correcting the bandage print information is written in the wireless tag 81 to reflect this.

  Then, when the bandage print information of the pre-medicine printing and the wireless tag writing information of the post-medicine writing match, the wireless tag 81 is pasted to a place out of the printing area in the sorting storage chamber 91. Therefore, it is possible to read the RFID tag writing information wirelessly with a tag reader and visually read the bandage printing information without any inconvenience. On the other hand, when the RFID tag writing information and the bandage print information are not matched, the RFID tag 81 is pasted over the print area of the compartment storage chamber 91, and the bandage print information printed previously. Since all or a part of the information is covered by the wireless tag 81, the wireless reading of the correct wireless tag writing information can be performed without inconvenience, but the visual reading of the bandage printing information which is likely to be wrong is difficult. .

  The wireless tag 81 may be attached to the compartment storage chamber 91 by setting the operation mode of the controller or the like so that the wireless tags 81 may be placed one by one on the package 90 connecting the many compartment storage chambers 91 (FIG. 2 ( a) and (b)), a small number of wireless tags 81 (not shown) that share a large amount of information relating to the input medicine may be provided (one for each compartment) 91 (each package). (See FIG. 2 (c)), but in any case, the band 80 feed path (see the dotted line with arrows) and the band feed path (with the two-dot chain line with arrows) Since the reference position is not parallel but intersects, the attachment location can be easily switched by adjusting the feed position of the wireless tag 81.

  In this way, the package 90 with the wireless tag 81 is completed one after another. If the printing information in the compartment storage chamber 91 is visually readable, it can be read visually, and if the tag reader is installed, it can be read simply by bringing the packaging 90 into the access area. Since the medicine information held by the wireless tag 81 is automatically read by the tag reader in a non-contact manner without needing to perform an extra operation for the purpose, it is possible to perform packaging such as dispensing inspection, medicine delivery management, and medicine management. Later management of the drug will be easy and accurate.

[Others]
In the above-described embodiment, the package 90 obtained by packaging the medicine in the packing band 8 is accommodated in the receiving box 17 in the casing 15 of the medicine packaging machine 10. The package 90 may be discharged to the outside through a discharge port of the housing 15 or the like.
Moreover, in the said Example, although the number and position of the movable member of the tag sticking mechanism 73 were not mentioned, for example, there is only one movable member of the tag sticking mechanism 73, and it moves up and down in addition to advancing and retracting operations. Even if the wireless tags 81 are densely arranged on the tape 80, two movable members that can be independently driven are arranged vertically and one is directed to the printing area and the other is removed from the printing area. The wireless tag 81 can be attached to the bandage 8 without inconvenience.

  The medicine packaging apparatus of the present invention is not limited to the medicine packaging machine 10 described above, but may be incorporated into a tablet packaging machine equipped with a large number of tablet feeders, or may be incorporated into a so-called V-shaped powder medicine packaging machine, or as a single unit.
