Description

The present invention supports a medicine packaging device that divides and wraps a medicine on a wrapping paper, such as a tablet packaging machine and a powder packaging machine used in medical institutions such as hospitals and dispensing pharmacies. those about the medicine packing apparatus characterized by a function of.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a medicine packaging device that inputs prescription data and divides and wraps a medicine, there is one provided with a medicine feeder and a medicine handing device (see Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.). The medicine feeder automatically supplies a desired number of medicines designated from a large number of contained medicines. The drug hand-held device is used for supplying a medicine that must be prepared by manual work such as a half tablet that cannot be supplied by a medicine feeder.

  In addition, as another medicine packaging device, a prescription waiting for execution of a prescription is discriminated, a medicine name, etc. are printed, and the operator selects a handmade prescription, thereby avoiding a temporary stop of the medicine packaging machine. There is a thing (refer patent documents 3 grade).

  Further, as another medicine packaging device, there is one that centrally controls a number of tablet packaging machines with a single controller (see Patent Document 4).

JP-A-2-269602 JP-A-8-164906 Japanese Patent No. 2509822 Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-59

  However, the conventional medicine packaging device has the following problems.

  For example, when 1.5 tablets are divided and packaged, even if the tablets are contained in a medicine feeder, all the tablets must be handed to the medicine handheld device. Is bad.

  In addition, since only the drug name is displayed in the manual operation, there is a possibility that an operator may mistakenly mix the drugs themselves or mistakenly divide each time of taking, and countermeasures are insufficient. It is.

  Also, since only the name of the medicine, the number of packages, etc. are printed, when the worker goes to pick up the medicine necessary for handling, it is necessary to recognize how many medicines are needed. For example, if one day is half a tablet for 7 days, it is necessary to calculate that the number is 3.5 pieces (4 pieces rounded up to the nearest decimal place). However, there are cases where the time to take a hand is only after breakfast, and that must be taken into account. In particular, when there are a plurality of handmade prescriptions, the risk of making an error increases.

  In addition, when performing batch packaging to package multiple prescription data at once, if there is a manual prescription included in it, it will be necessary to go to the storage shelf for the necessary medicine each time, Work is interrupted and work efficiency is poor.

  Further, the amount of manual work varies depending on the content of the prescription given by the doctor, but the grasp is based on the experience of the operator, and thus it is difficult to make an appropriate judgment.

Accordingly, the present invention changes the prescription data, it is an object to provide Hisage a medicine packing device capable of supporting manual preparation work.

As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides:
An automatic medicine supply means for automatically supplying medicine, a manual medicine supply means for supplying medicine that has been hand-prepared one by one in advance, and a package for packaging medicine supplied from each of the supply means based on prescription data Oite the medicine dispensing packaging location of and means,
If there is drug data including an integer part and a decimal part in the prescription data, create handmade data consisting of only a decimal part from the drug data including the integer part and the decimal part,
Change the drug data including the integer part and the decimal part to drug data consisting only of the integer part,
Wherein the manual preparation data and processing data of manual distribution-out drug agent supply means,
Prescription data processing means for using the changed medicine data as processing data of the medicine automatic supply means is provided .

  With this configuration, when the medicine to be packaged is an amount that is not divisible by a reference amount (one for a solid preparation, and a predetermined gram number for a powder), the amount corresponding to the integer part is the drug. By supplying from the automatic supply means, only the amount corresponding to the decimal part can be supplied from the manual medicine supply means. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently prepare by suppressing the amount of medicine to be prepared in the manual medicine supply means.

  When changing to the medicine data, the decimal part is changed to 0 when the decimal part of the medicine data including the integer part and the decimal part is other than 0.

  When creating the manual data, the integer part of the drug data including the integer part and the decimal part is changed to zero.

  When the handmade data is created, the packaging form is changed from packaging to handmade.

  When the manual data is created, the number of medicines required for manual operation is calculated by multiplying the daily amount by the number of days, and the calculation result is displayed. This makes it possible to efficiently prepare a medicine to be handed.

  In addition, the number of handing packages is calculated by multiplying the number of times taken by the number of days, and the calculation result is displayed. This makes it possible to efficiently prepare a medicine to be handed.

  In the case of batch packaging in which a plurality of prescription data is packaged together, the prescription data including the handmade data is rearranged in the packaging queue and collected at the rear of the packaging queue. This makes it possible to prepare the hand-made medicine by the hand-made medicine supply means during automatic medicine packaging.

  When a plurality of the medicine packaging devices are connected, the medicine data and the handing data are not assigned to the medicine packaging device set as impossible in the manual handling impossible setting file.

  According to the present invention, the degree of automation of the automatic packaging process is increased, the manual work by the operator can be reduced, and the work efficiency can be improved.

  Embodiments according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a unit configuration of a medicine packaging apparatus according to this embodiment. Details of each unit will be described later.

  The medicine packaging apparatus includes one input operation unit 1 and one or more medicine division packaging mechanism units 2. Each unit of the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 is assigned a unit number and used for identification and control.

  The input operation unit 1 is a unit for inputting prescription data and operating the entire medicine packaging apparatus, and transmits a packaging command for operating the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 to each machine.

  As will be described later, the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 is a unit of a mechanism that receives a packaging command, and includes a plurality of medicine feeder sections 14 and a medicine handling section 15 and divides and packs the medicines at each time of taking. It is.

  The input operation unit 1 can be connected to the host computer 3 and receive prescription data from the host computer 3, but the host computer 3 may be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the input operation unit 1 in the medicine packaging apparatus includes a multi-channel communication unit 4 for communication with each unit of the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2, a CRT display 5, a keyboard 6 and a mouse 7. And the hard disk device 8, and the whole medicine packaging device is controlled by a central processing unit 9 (CPU). In addition, a photographic image of the medicine is input by the digital still camera 10.

  The CRT display 5, the keyboard 6, and the mouse 7 are used for inputting prescription data and various files. The host computer 3 is for receiving prescription data from an external system. However, since the prescription data can be newly input using only the CRT display 5, the keyboard 6, and the mouse 7, the host computer 3 may be omitted.

  In place of the digital still camera 10, an image scanner, a CD-ROM drive for reading a PhotoCD, or a floppy disk drive for reading a floppy disk (FD) storing photographic images may be used. May be. Moreover, since the device is used only when registering a medicine image, there is no need to always connect. In addition to photographic images, caption characters and pictures can be combined and illustrations can be used.

  The CPU 9 has a built-in memory 11 (RAM) for storing various data, and this memory 11 is used as a prescription data memory for storing prescription data and other memories (working areas, variables, etc. in processing). Furthermore, the CPU 9 incorporates a control program 12 (ROM) for controlling the entire medicine packaging device.

  The hard disk device 8 includes a prescription file for storing prescription data, a batch prescription file for storing batch prescription data such as hospitalized prescriptions, a handmade drug data file for storing data relating to drugs to be handled, and manual handling for each unit is not possible. There are various types of master files for storing related information such as a manual setting disabling setting file, a manual medicine totaling recording file for counting and recording manual drugs, and inputting prescription data. The various master files include a drug master, a patient master, a usage master, a medical department master, a doctor master, a ward master, and a prescription category master. However, since the files other than the medicine master file are files having a simple configuration for storing codes and names, the description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the medicine master file is a data file for registering various data about medicines for each medicine code, and is used for the operation of the medicine packaging device. The data of the medicine master file is input on the medicine master registration screen activated from the menu screen (none of the screens are shown).

  In FIG. 3, the drug code is a unique code for each drug, which is shortened by removing the cloud point from the abbreviation of the drug so that the pharmacist can easily input. For example, in the case of capsule D, its reading “capsule side” is changed to “cafsete”. The drug name indicates the drug name, and the unit indicates the drug unit. The form code refers to a code for classifying drugs by form in the dispensing operation. “Packaging” means automatically supplying and packaging from a medicine feeder. “Handmade” means to be supplied and packaged from the handmade supply unit. “Heat seal” means to be delivered to the patient as a heat seal packaged by a pharmaceutical manufacturer. “Packaging with tablets” = 11, “Handing with tablets” = 12, “Heat sealing with tablets” = 13, “Packaging with capsules” = 14, “Handing with capsules” = 15, “Capsule "Heat seal" = 16, "packaging with powder" = 17, "handing with powder" = 18, "heat seal with powder" = 19, and so on. The medicine feeder number refers to the number of a medicine feeder that accommodates medicine to be automatically packaged.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the manual medicine data file is a data file for registering various data about the medicine to be handed for each medicine code. The data of the manual medicine data file is input on the manual medicine data file registration screen activated from the menu screen (none of the screens are shown).

  In FIG. 4, the drug code of the drug to be handed is input as the drug code. This medicine code is registered in the medicine master file. For the medicine image, image data of the appearance of the medicine is used. Illustrations may be used instead of photographic images. In short, any image can be used as long as the shape (circular, elliptical, hexagonal, spherical, cylindrical, etc.), color, secant (two-part dividing line, four-part dividing line), etc. can be discriminated. The format of the image data may be anything such as BMP, JPEG, GIF, TIFF. As the medicine identification symbol, an identification symbol that is stamped or printed on the body of the medicine is used. The storage shelf number is the number of the shelf where the medicine is stored, the shelf that is stored as it is in heat-sealed packaging that is packaged by a pharmaceutical manufacturer, the medicine bottle that contains the medicine body by unwinding the heat-sealed packaging in advance, and the tablet in advance The numbering system can be distinguished from medicine bottles divided into half tablets.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the manual handling disabling setting file is a data file for registering whether manual handling is possible or not for each unit of the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2. The data of the unmanageable setting file is input on the unmanageable setting file registration screen activated from the menu screen (none of the screens are shown). In FIG. 5, the machine number is the number of the machine of the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2. In the manual handling impossible flag, “possible” = 0 and “impossible” = 1 are input for drug handing.

  Note that the CRT display 5, keyboard 6, mouse 7, hard disk device 8, and CPU 9 may be personal computers.

  Further, the hard disk device 8 may be an independent file server device (CPU built-in), and a client / server configuration in which a central processing unit (CPU) is connected as a client terminal to a server device via a network (LAN).

  Further, communication with the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 may be performed by connecting to the same network (LAN) including the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 instead of using the multi-channel communication unit 4.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 of the medicine packaging device includes a communication unit 13 for communication with the input operation unit 1, a medicine feeder 14 for medicine supply / packaging, and a medicine handling unit 15. And a medicine packaging unit 16, a liquid crystal display 17 for data display, a printer 18 for data printing, a buzzer 19 for notifying the operator with sound, and a key switch 20 for operation input, and are controlled by the CPU 9. The method of the printer 18 may be anything such as thermal, impact dot, and ink jet. The key switch 20 for operation input may be a touch panel attached to the display surface of the liquid crystal display 17.

  The medicine feeder unit 14 supplies the designated number of medicines to the medicine packaging unit 16 from among a large number of medicine feeders for each medicine.

  The medicine handing unit 15 manually supplies the medicine packaging unit 16 with the necessary number of medicines for the divided basket corresponding to each package of the medicine packaging.

  The medicine packaging unit 16 drops the medicine supplied at each time of taking from the medicine chute between the folds obtained by folding the heat-fusible wrapping paper (packaging sheet) drawn from the wrapping paper roll, The vertical and horizontal sides of the wrapping paper are heat-sealed and sealed to continuously form the sachet packaging the medicine.

  Next, the operation of the medicine packaging device will be described separately for the input operation unit 1 and the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2.

  First, the medicine packaging operation in the input operation unit 1 will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, the “prescription data input” screen shown in FIG. 8 is activated from a menu screen (not shown). However, in the initial state, all data entry fields are empty. Therefore, the contents of the prescription data are read from the host computer 3 (step S1).

  The prescription data read from the host computer 3 is composed of only various codes in order to reduce the amount of communication data. For this reason, when displaying the contents of the prescription data, reading processing of name data and the like from various master files is performed using various codes as search keys. For example, since only the medicine code “Shioe” is stored in the received data, the medicine name “Tablet A” is read from the medicine master file (FIG. 3). Here, the drug code is a unique code for each drug that is contracted from the abbreviation of the drug by removing the cloud point so that the pharmacist can easily input the drug code (for example, “Joe Zay” is “Shioe”).

  If different prescription data is read by mistake, the “Cancel” button is clicked with the mouse 7 to erase the display contents. If the desired prescription data is not displayed, the “prescription search” button is clicked with the mouse 7, and the prescription data registered in the prescription file is retrieved and called and displayed. For example, when the patient number “9306581” is input from the keyboard and the “prescription search” button is clicked, the corresponding prescription data is displayed.

  Prescription data can be entered directly from the keyboard 6 or mouse 7, or can be called from a prescription file in which all past prescriptions are registered, or from a batch prescription file in which prescriptions to be dispensed in a batch are registered. You can also. After confirming that there is no correction in the display contents of the prescription data and clicking on the “Input OK” button with the mouse 7, the prescription data is registered in the prescription file. Proceed to “Create drug data” (step S2). If the prescription data is only registered in the prescription file, the “input only” button is clicked.

  When calling from a batch prescription file, the “collective prescription” button is clicked to display the batch prescription screen (FIG. 9) in a window different from the prescription data input screen (FIG. 8). Here, a plurality of prescription data is set as a set by a collective code that can be arbitrarily given. Therefore, when the collective code is input from the keyboard, the patient number, patient name, department, and ward of a plurality of prescription data registered in advance are displayed as in the example of FIG. Then, when the “collective packaging” button is clicked with the mouse 7, the process proceeds to the next step “creation of hand-made medicine data” (step S2) for a plurality of prescription data shown in FIG.

  By the way, the batch prescription data is registered in advance as follows.

  First, a collective code is arbitrarily entered from the keyboard, and a name corresponding to the collective code is entered (for example, collective code “611” and name “6th floor East Ward No. 1”). Next, in order to designate a plurality of prescription data, row data (for example, a patient number “93002681”, a clinical department code “01”, and a ward code “61”) are input including a patient number, a medical department code, and a ward code. Each name is read from various master files and displayed). The “★” mark and the highlighted line indicate the line data currently being processed, and the line can be arbitrarily moved by clicking the up / down arrow keys or the mouse 7. When inserting line data in the middle of the batch order, clicking the “Insert blank line” button with the mouse 7 will drop the line data of the current line by one line and insert blank line data. Then, a patient number, a department code, and a ward code are newly input in the blank line. When the “Delete Row” button is clicked, the row data of the current row is deleted, and the row data below it is filled up. Click the “Cancel” button to clear the window. When the “prescription input” button is clicked, the contents of the prescription data corresponding to the current line data are displayed on the prescription data input screen (FIG. 8). In FIG. 8, when the “new input” button is clicked, the prescription data being displayed at that time is saved in a saved manner so that the display is erased. Thereby, arbitrary prescription data can be newly input from the patient number. In this case, for example, when the patient number “93026581” is input from the keyboard, the patient name (kana, kanji), gender, and date of birth are read from the patient master file and displayed. The age is automatically calculated from the date of birth and today's date and displayed. The exchange number is the number of the “return ticket” that is handed over at the end of the transaction only for outpatients. In the example of the prescription data (FIG. 8), the prescription classification is “02” hospitalized (inpatient), and the exchange number is meaningless, so “0000” is input. When each code is entered, the name data is read from the corresponding master files and displayed for the department, doctor, ward, and prescription category (for example, if the code “01” is entered in the department, “internal medicine” is displayed. Is displayed.). The “Prescription No.” column is a serial number of “Prescription” in which the drug (s) and usage are combined. This “prescription” can be entered in multiple numbers. The “code” input field is a field for inputting a drug code or a usage code. When a code is entered, name data is read from the medicine master file or usage master file and displayed. In the “code” input field, a drug code is normally input (for example, “Shioe”), but when a “/” symbol is input at the beginning, a usage code is input after that (for example, “201”). The usage name corresponding to “201” is “minute 2 morning / after dinner”). In the usage line in which the usage code is input, after the usage name is displayed, the “days” input field is displayed and the number of days is input (for example, “7 days”). The “Dose” column is a column for inputting the daily dose of the drug. The unit is read from the medicine master file (FIG. 3) and displayed. The “dosage time” column is a column for inputting a single dose obtained by dividing a daily dose by dose. The single dose is the number (number of tablets) in the case of solid preparations such as tablets, capsules and pills, but the number of grams in the case of powders. In a solid preparation, one is a reference amount, and in powders, a predetermined gram number is a reference amount (the same applies hereinafter). The form code in the “form” column is read from the medicine master file (FIG. 3) and displayed. When the “input only” button is clicked with the mouse 7, the prescription data is registered. When the “registration” button is clicked with the mouse 7 in the batch prescription screen (FIG. 9), these data are registered as a set in the batch file. In FIG. 8, when the “Exit” button is clicked, this screen is terminated and the menu screen is restored.

  Following the step S1, manual data is created from each drug data in the prescription data (step S2). When the form is “packaging” and there is a fractional part in the single dose for each dosing time, the single dose is divided into an integer part and a decimal part, and drug data for only the decimal part is created. Further, the form of the medicine data is “hand-made” as shown in FIG. In the case of the example of FIG. 8, since the single dose of “tablet A” is “1.5”, the single dose of the drug data whose form is “packaging” is changed to “1” as shown in FIG. Then, the one-time amount of manual medicine data is set to “0.5”.

  Further, the number of medicines necessary for handing and the number of packets to be handed are calculated (step S3). The number of handmade items is obtained by multiplying the daily amount by the number of days, and the number of handmade packets is obtained by multiplying the number of taking times (“2” in the morning and evening) by the number of days. In the case of the example in FIG. 10, the amount of handmade for “Tablet A” is 7 for 1 tablet per day, so the number of handmade is “7”, and the number of time for taking is “2”. 14 ".

  Next, the prescription data (FIG. 13) after calculating the number of hand-made medicines and the number of packages is added to the first-in first-out packaging queue (step S4).

  Here, it is determined whether or not the prescription data added to the packaging queue is batch packaging (step S5). If the prescription data is “batch order = 0”, it is a single package, and if “batch order ≠ 0”, it is a batch package.

  In the case of single packaging, the process proceeds to the preceding step “assignment of prescription data number” (step S8). In the case of batch packaging, the prescription data with the handmade medicine is rearranged and collected at the rear (step S6). In this rearrangement, first, a plurality of prescription data is added to the packaging queue in the order of batch prescription. In the case of the example of FIG. 11, there are five batch prescription data (the prescription contents are as shown in FIG. 13), and the five prescription data are added to the parcel queue as shown in FIG. To do. Then, as shown in FIG. 11B, the batch order “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, and “5” are combined in the rear part without changing the original order, and “2 “4” “5” “1” “3”.

  Subsequently, the types and number of hand-made medicines in the batch packaging shown in FIG. 13 are totaled and displayed on the CRT display 5 of the input operation unit 1 as shown in FIG. 12 (step S7). The screen for counting the hand-made medicines is displayed in a window different from the prescription data input screen (FIG. 8). In the case of the example in FIG. 12, the drug “tablet A” whose form is “handbrush” adds “7” and “3.5” to “10.5”. To delete the window, click the “Cancel” button.

  Furthermore, prescription data is allocated to each machine of the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 so that the processing load is equalized (step S8). At that time, the manual prescription is not assigned to the machine set as “impossible” in the manual disabling setting file (FIG. 5). In the case of the example in FIG. 5, only the first machine can be hand-crafted, and therefore all the prescriptions are assigned to the first machine.

  In addition, for each date / number machine to be packaged, the number of handmade prescriptions, the number of handmade packets, and the type and number of handmade medicines are totalized and recorded in the manual medicine totaling recording file (step S9). Manual drug totaling record file is a file that records the status of manual work, a file that records the number of prescriptions and packages for each date / unit, and the number of manual operations for each date / unit / drug. It consists of a file to record. The data structure is as shown in FIG. The contents of the manual medicine totalization record file are confirmed by the pharmacist by converting the file into a CSV (Comma Separated Value) format file and printing it on a form such as a list using spreadsheet software.

  In the example of the manual disabling setting file (FIG. 5), the number of prescriptions “1 + 1 = 2”, the number of handbags “14 + 7 + 14 = 35”, the types of handmade drugs are “10. “5” and “Tablet C” are “21”, and the data is recorded in the handwritten drug totaling record file (FIG. 14). In FIG. 14, the date is the date of handing, the machine number is the number of the machine to which the handmade prescription is assigned, the number of handmade prescriptions is the number of handmade prescriptions, the number of handmade packets is the number of handmade packets, the drug code Indicates the drug code registered in the drug master file (FIG. 3), and the number indicates the number of drugs required for manual operation.

  FIGS. 15 to 18 show the structure of a packaging command transmitted to the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 in an example of batch packaging of prescription data (FIGS. 13 and 8) for batch prescription.

  In FIG. 15, the machine number is the number of the machine to which the prescription data (FIGS. 13 and 8) is assigned, the parcel number is the serial number of the parcel command, the manual number is the serial number of the manual recipe, and the manual buzzer sound is 0/1 = Do not ring / buzz a manual buzzer, the number of packages indicates the number of minutes × the number of days, that is, the total number of packets in this package, and the number of drugs indicates the number of drug data that follows. The exchange number, patient name (kana), patient name (kanji), usage, fraction, and number of days are the same as each data of the prescription data (FIGS. 13 and 8).

  In FIG. 16, the medicine feeder number is the number of the medicine feeder that automatically supplies the medicine, and the medicine feeder number in the medicine master file is acquired using the medicine code in the prescription data (FIG. 13) as a search key. The drug name and the dose once for each dose are the same as the data in the prescription data (FIG. 13). The drug image, drug identification symbol, storage shelf number, number of handmade items, and number of handmade packets are “drug feeder number ≠ 000”, so there is no data.

  In FIG. 17, since the medicine feeder number “medical feeder number = 000”, the hand-made medicine is indicated. The drug name and the dose once for each dose are the same as the data in the prescription data (FIG. 13). For the medicine image, medicine identification symbol, and storage shelf number, each data in the handmade medicine data file (FIG. 4) is obtained using the medicine code in the prescription data (FIG. 13) as a search key. The number of handmade items and the number of handmade items are the same as the data of the prescription data (FIG. 13).

  In FIG. 18, the medicine feeder number indicates the number of the medicine feeder that automatically supplies the medicine, and the medicine feeder number in the medicine master file is acquired using the medicine code in the prescription data (FIG. 13) as a search key. The drug name and the dose once for each dose are the same as the data in the prescription data (FIG. 13). The drug image, drug identification symbol, storage shelf number, number of handmade items, and number of handmade packets are “drug feeder number ≠ 000”, so there is no data.

  In FIG. 15 to FIG. 18, three pieces of drug data “automatic packaging tablet A”, “handmade tablet A”, and “automatic packaging capsule B” follow the data such as the patient number.

  And the packaging command (FIGS. 15-18) is transmitted to each allocated unit of the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 (step S10). When each unit is busy, a parcel command is added to the transmission queue and transmitted in parallel after a certain time.

  Thereafter, the “end” button is clicked on the prescription data input screen (FIG. 8), this screen is terminated, and the menu screen (not shown) is returned (step S11). If not, the process returns to step S1 and repeats from reading the prescription data.

  Next, the operation of each medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  Each medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 receives the packaging command (FIGS. 15 to 18) from the input operation unit 1 (step S21), and determines whether there is a handmade medicine in the packaging command (FIGS. 15 to 18). Judgment is made (step S22). If “medicine feeder number = 000”, it is a handmade medicine. If there is no hand-made medicine, the process proceeds to the previous step “Supply and package medicine” (step S28).

  If there is a hand-made medicine, it is first determined whether or not “hand-operated buzzer sound = 1” in the packaging command (FIGS. 15 to 18) (step S23). If “hand-operated buzzer sound = 1”, the buzzer 19 sounds a buzzer sound different from the error sound to notify hand-handling (step S24). For example, it is assumed that the error sound is “beep” and the manual buzzer sound is “beep ...”.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20, a manual prescription instruction is displayed on the liquid crystal display 17 (step S25). In FIG. 20, the medicine image of the medicine “Tablet A” to be handed, the medicine identification symbol, the storage shelf number, the number of hands to be handed, and the number of hands to be handed are displayed. Here, as shown in the rearrangement in FIG. 11, an instruction for manual prescription “collective order = 1” is first displayed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21, a manual prescription instruction is printed on the printer 18 (step S26). Then, the pharmacist hands the medicine in the medicine handling unit 15 and presses the “SET” key of the key switch 20 to make “SETTING” (step S27). In FIG. 21, the medicine identification symbol, the storage shelf number, the number of hands to be handed, and the number of hands to be handed are printed. Note that the printer 18 is attached to the front of the medicine division packaging mechanism unit 2 so that the printed content can be read in the direction in which the printed paper is sent out. Here, the instructions for manual prescription are printed in the order of “collective order = 1” and “collective order = 3” as rearranged in FIG.

  If the handmade medicine is set, the medicine is supplied from the medicine feeder unit 14 and the medicine handing unit 15 and packaged by the medicine packaging unit 16 (step S28). When the medicine split packaging operation for the packaging command is completed in this way, the process returns to step S21 and repeats from the reception of the packaging command.

  As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the degree of automation of the automatic packaging process is increased, the manual work by the operator can be reduced, and the work efficiency can be improved.

  In addition, since the image of the medicine to be handed, the medicine identification symbol, or the storage shelf number is displayed on the display means of the corresponding medicine division packaging mechanism unit, the operator can easily confirm the medicine. It also prevents human errors such as drug misuse by workers.

  Since the number of medicines to be handled or the number of handmade packets for each prescription data is calculated and displayed on the display means of the corresponding medicine division packaging mechanism unit, the burden of preparation work by the operator is reduced.

  Based on the prescription data, the medicine identification symbol, storage shelf number, number, or number of handmade packets to be handmade are printed by the printing means, so that the operator does not have to rely only on the memory and work The burden is reduced.
