さらに詳しくは、収容容器本体１ の下方には仕切壁１９を介してギア収納部２０が設けられている。
加えて、図２に示すように、仕切壁１９の上方には薬剤攪拌ローラー体１１の周囲を包囲する筒状のローラー収納壁２１と、薬剤攪拌ローラー体１１を下方から支持する筒状の支持壁２２が形成されている。 More specifically, a gear storage portion 20 is provided below the storage container body 1 via a partition wall 19.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a cylindrical roller storage wall 21 that surrounds the periphery of the medicine stirring roller body 11 and a cylindrical support that supports the medicine stirring roller body 11 from below are provided above the partition wall 19. A wall 22 is formed.

また、薬剤攪拌ローラー体１１は、周囲に薬剤２３が整列する薬剤整列路２４が複数形成された薬剤整列ローラー２５と、その薬剤整列ローラー２５の上面部に嵌合され、且つ略円筒を斜めに切断することにより一周端側が高い高部２６ａ と他周端側が低い低部２６ｂ とを有する傾斜面２７の形成された攪拌ローラー２６とから構成される。
薬剤整列ローラー２５には、回転軸芯部に孔２８が穿通されており、しかも、下方側に延出されたパイプ状の軸体２９が前記支持壁２２に嵌入されてギア収納部２０に突出され、下端部に大ギア３０が固着されている。
一方、前記孔２８には、円柱状の軸３１が挿通されており、その上端部には攪拌ローラー２６が固定され、且つその下端部には小ギア３３が固着されている。 The drug agitating roller body 11 is fitted to a drug aligning roller 25 having a plurality of drug aligning paths 24 around which the drug 23 is aligned, and an upper surface portion of the drug aligning roller 25. By being cut, it is composed of a stirring roller 26 formed with an inclined surface 27 having a high portion 26a having a high one end and a low portion 26b having a low other end.
The medicine alignment roller 25 has a hole 28 formed in the rotating shaft core portion, and a pipe-shaped shaft body 29 extending downward is fitted into the support wall 22 and protrudes into the gear housing portion 20. The large gear 30 is fixed to the lower end portion.
On the other hand, a cylindrical shaft 31 is inserted into the hole 28, the stirring roller 26 is fixed to the upper end portion thereof, and the small gear 33 is fixed to the lower end portion thereof.

かかる構成により、回転駆動体９ を介して大ギア８ａ及び小ギア８ｂが回転すると、それに噛合する小ギア３３及び大ギア３０が回転して薬剤攪拌ローラー体１１が回転する。尚、大小ギアの歯数を適宜選択し、薬剤整列ローラー２５と攪拌ローラー２６との回転速度は異なる速度に設計されており、従って、攪拌ローラー２６の高部２６ａ 側が低部２６ｂ 側に集積した薬剤を攪拌するので、低部２６ｂ 側には薬剤がブリッジングすることもなく薬剤整列路２４に確実に且つ迅速に導入され、図２に示すように縦列することとなる。   With this configuration, when the large gear 8a and the small gear 8b rotate via the rotation drive body 9, the small gear 33 and the large gear 30 that mesh with the large gear 8a and the large gear 30 rotate, and the drug stirring roller body 11 rotates. The number of teeth of the large and small gears is selected as appropriate, and the rotation speeds of the medicine alignment roller 25 and the stirring roller 26 are designed to be different from each other. Therefore, the high part 26a side of the stirring roller 26 is accumulated on the low part 26b side. Since the medicine is agitated, the medicine is reliably and quickly introduced into the medicine alignment path 24 without bridging on the lower portion 26b side, and is arranged in a column as shown in FIG.

また、収容容器本体１ のギア収納部２０内には、抑止手段としてヘアピン状の板バネからなるストッパー１８の一辺側１８ａ が、仕切壁１９にピンを介して固定された取付部３５に固着されている。
かかるストッパー１８の他辺側１８ｂ の先端には、平面視略碗状の受け部３６が形成され、且つその受け部３６近傍には、薬剤整列ローラー２５の軸体２９に固着された大ギア３０の歯に係止する略三角形状の係止部３７が設けられている。 Further, in the gear housing portion 20 of the container body 1, one side 18 a of a stopper 18 made of a hairpin-shaped leaf spring as a restraining means is fixed to an attachment portion 35 fixed to the partition wall 19 via a pin. ing.
A receiving portion 36 having a substantially bowl shape in plan view is formed at the tip of the other side 18b of the stopper 18, and in the vicinity of the receiving portion 36, a large gear 30 fixed to the shaft body 29 of the medicine alignment roller 25 is formed. A substantially triangular locking portion 37 that locks the teeth is provided.

３９,３９'は、収容容器本体１ を薬剤収容容器支持体２ の案内レール３,３'に沿って装着するための導き路を示し、仕切壁１９から下方に突出されてギア収納部２０内に形成されている。
４０,４０'は、案内レール３,３'の段部６,６'に嵌合する位置決め突起を示す。 Reference numerals 39 and 39 ′ denote guide paths for mounting the container main body 1 along the guide rails 3 and 3 ′ of the drug container support 2, and are projected downward from the partition wall 19 to be within the gear storage portion 20. Is formed.
Reference numerals 40 and 40 ′ denote positioning protrusions that fit into the step portions 6 and 6 ′ of the guide rails 3 and 3 ′.

上記薬剤収容容器を薬剤収容容器支持体２ の案内レール３,３'に沿って嵌め込むと、図２及び図３に示すように、位置決め突起４０,４０'と段部６,６'が嵌合することによって所定位置に装着されると共に、駆動手段９ の二連歯車８ が薬剤攪拌ローラー体１１の二連歯車１７に噛合し、同時に、薬剤収容容器支持体２ の突起棒１０がストッパー１８の受け部３６に当接することにより板バネが押圧されてストッパー１８による抑止が解除され、装着前は自転、即ち、ストッパー１８により不用意に回転できなかった薬剤整列ローラー２５が回転自在な状態となる。
そして、回転駆動体９ を介して薬剤攪拌ローラー体１１が回転することにより、薬剤整列路２４に導入された薬剤は、処方箋等のデータに基づいて開口部１３から薬剤収容容器支持体２ の排出口７ に排出されて分包装置に供給される。 When the drug container is fitted along the guide rails 3, 3 'of the drug container support 2, the positioning projections 40, 40' and the step parts 6, 6 'are fitted as shown in FIGS. As a result, the double gear 8 of the driving means 9 is engaged with the double gear 17 of the drug stirring roller body 11, and at the same time, the protruding rod 10 of the drug container support 2 is fixed to the stopper 18. The plate spring is pressed by abutting against the receiving portion 36 and the restraint by the stopper 18 is released, and before the mounting, the medicine is rotated, that is, the medicine alignment roller 25 that cannot be rotated carelessly by the stopper 18 is in a freely rotatable state. Become.
Then, the medicine agitating roller body 11 rotates via the rotation drive body 9, so that the medicine introduced into the medicine alignment path 24 is discharged from the opening 13 based on data such as a prescription. It is discharged to the outlet 7 and supplied to the packaging device.

一方、収容容器本体１ を薬剤収容容器支持体２ から外した場合、図４に示すように、突起棒１０の押圧が解除されてストッパー１８が弾性力によって復帰することにより、その係止部３７が大ギア３０の歯に係止して薬剤整列ローラー２５の自由な回転を抑止する。
従って、少なくとも薬剤選択供給装置に薬剤収容容器が装着されていない状態のときは、薬剤整列ローラー２５は回転しないので、薬剤整列路２４等に薬剤が残っていても薬剤が開口部１３から薬剤選択供給装置に排出されない。 On the other hand, when the container main body 1 is removed from the medicine container support 2, as shown in FIG. 4, the pressing of the protruding rod 10 is released and the stopper 18 is restored by elastic force, whereby the locking portion 37. Is locked to the teeth of the large gear 30 to prevent free rotation of the medicine alignment roller 25.
Accordingly, at least when the medicine container is not attached to the medicine selection and supply device, the medicine alignment roller 25 does not rotate, so even if the medicine remains in the medicine alignment path 24 or the like, the medicine is selected from the opening 13. Not discharged into the feeder.

尚、上記実施例に於いて、薬剤収容容器支持体２ には解除手段１０が設けられているが、必ずしも薬剤収容容器支持体２ には解除手段が設けられていなければならないわけではない。例えば、抑止手段であるストッパー１８の板バネの弾性力を緩くしたり、ストッパー１８の係止部３７を略半円状にしたり、又ストッパー１８の取付け位置を変える等適宜設計変更することにより、薬剤整列ローラー２５に抑止手段が作用した状態でも薬剤収容容器支持体２ の回転駆動体９ によって薬剤整列ローラー２５を回転させることは可能である。   In the above embodiment, the release means 10 is provided on the medicine container support 2, but the release means is not necessarily provided on the medicine container support 2. For example, by loosening the elastic force of the leaf spring of the stopper 18 serving as a deterrent means, making the locking portion 37 of the stopper 18 substantially semicircular, or changing the mounting position of the stopper 18 as appropriate, the design can be changed accordingly. It is possible to rotate the drug alignment roller 25 by the rotation driving body 9 of the drug container support 2 even in a state where the restraining means is applied to the drug alignment roller 25.

さらに、上記実施例に於いて、抑止手段はヘアピン状の板バネからなるストッパー１８から構成されているが、必ずしも抑止手段は上記構成に限定されず、例えば、図５に示すように、中央一面部に薬剤整列ローラー２５の大ギア３０に係止する鋸状の係止部３７が形成され、且つ両端側に孔４１,４１ が穿設された板状のストッパー１８と、その孔４１,４１ に挿通された支持棒４２,４２ と、その支持棒４２,４２ に嵌挿され、且つストッパー１８を他端面側から付勢するスプリング４３,４３ とから抑止手段が構成されていてもよい。
尚、かかる構成による薬剤収容容器を、図５の二点鎖線で示すように、解除手段である２本の突起棒が設けられた薬剤収容容器支持体２ に装着すれば、抑止手段であるストッパー１８が後退してストッパー１８は大ギア３０から離反することとなって抑止は解除される。 Further, in the above embodiment, the restraining means is composed of the stopper 18 made of a hairpin-shaped leaf spring. However, the restraining means is not necessarily limited to the above configuration, for example, as shown in FIG. A plate-like stopper 18 having a saw-like engaging portion 37 that is engaged with the large gear 30 of the drug alignment roller 25 and having holes 41, 41 formed at both ends, and the holes 41, 41 The support rods 42, 42 inserted through the support rods 42, and springs 43, 43 fitted into the support rods 42, 42 and biasing the stopper 18 from the other end surface side may constitute a deterring means.
In addition, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, when the medicine container having such a structure is attached to the medicine container support 2 provided with two protruding rods as release means, a stopper as a deterring means. 18 is retracted and the stopper 18 is separated from the large gear 30, and the inhibition is released.

また、上記実施例に於いて、抑止手段であるストッパー１８は板バネ又はスプリングの付勢力によって大ギア３０の歯に係止する構成であったが、必ずしも抑止手段はかかる構成に限定されず、例えば、大ギア３０の盤自体を係止するストッパーであってもよく、又、板バネ又はスプリングに代えてゴムの付勢力を利用してもよい。
さらに、図６に示すように、抑止手段であるストッパー１８自体をゴムで形成すれば、上記実施例のようにストッパー１８に係止部３７を設けていなくても、その弾性力によって変形して大ギア３０にゴムのストッパー１８が当接し、且つ摩擦力の高いゴムの性質から大ギア３０を確実に係止することができる。 Further, in the above embodiment, the stopper 18 as the restraining means is configured to be locked to the teeth of the large gear 30 by the urging force of the leaf spring or the spring, but the restraining means is not necessarily limited to such a configuration. For example, a stopper for locking the board of the large gear 30 may be used, and an urging force of rubber may be used instead of the leaf spring or the spring.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6, if the stopper 18 itself as a restraining means is formed of rubber, even if the stopper 18 is not provided with the locking portion 37 as in the above embodiment, it is deformed by its elastic force. The rubber stopper 18 comes into contact with the large gear 30 and the large gear 30 can be reliably locked due to the property of rubber having a high frictional force.

叙上のように、本発明に係る薬剤収容容器は、薬剤を個々に整列させて排出するための薬剤整列ローラーに、薬剤収容容器支持体への非装着時には、その回転を抑止する抑止手段が設けられているので、薬剤収容容器を薬剤選択供給装置から外す際又は装着する際に、回転自在な薬剤整列ローラーが不用意に回転することがない。
従って、薬剤整列路や薬剤収納部に薬剤が残っていても薬剤整列ローラーが自転して薬剤が開口部から薬剤選択供給装置に排出されることを防止できる。
よって、薬剤の無駄を無くし、一連の作業の円滑化を図ることができる。 As described above, the medicine container according to the present invention has a restraining means for preventing rotation when the medicine alignment roller for individually aligning and discharging the medicine is not attached to the medicine container support. Since it is provided, when the medicine container is removed from or attached to the medicine selection and supply device, the rotatable medicine alignment roller does not rotate carelessly.
Therefore, even if the medicine remains in the medicine alignment path or the medicine storage portion, the medicine alignment roller rotates and the medicine can be prevented from being discharged from the opening to the medicine selection and supply device.
Therefore, waste of medicine can be eliminated and a series of operations can be facilitated.

さらに、前記薬剤収容容器支持体に、前記収容容器本体が該薬剤収容容器支持体に装着された場合に前記薬剤整列ローラーの抑止手段を解除する解除手段を設ければ、薬剤収容容器を装着した時には薬剤整列ローラーは抑止手段が解除されて完全に回転自在となり、一方、薬剤収容容器を外した時には抑止手段が作用して薬剤整列ローラーは不用意に回転しない。
従って、薬剤収容容器を装着脱するだけで、薬剤整列ローラーの回転の抑止とその解除を行なうことができ、作業者が何ら新たな操作を行なう必要もない。 Furthermore, when the medicine container holding body is provided with release means for releasing the restraining means of the medicine alignment roller when the container body is mounted on the medicine container support, the medicine container is mounted.
