Drug Receiving Unit 5) The drug receiving unit 5 is attached to the frame 1 (a pair of left and right vertical rails 15) on the front side of the apparatus body 3 so as to be reciprocally movable in the vertical (vertical) direction. A rail 16 and a slide base 17 attached to the horizontal rail 16 so as to be capable of reciprocating in the left-right (horizontal) direction are provided. The slide base 17 is provided with a protruding unit 18 and a medicine receiving container 19.

The protrusion unit 18 is a protrusion base 20 provided with a protrusion motor 21 and a protrusion pin 22. The protruding base 20 has an inverted U shape, and the protruding pin 22 is provided on one end side thereof. The projecting pins 22 are reciprocated by a projecting motor 21 via a pinion and a rack (not shown), and push the rods 14 provided in the medicine storage unit 4 to discharge the ampules 12 one by one.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the medicine receiving container 19 is formed by integrating a side plate 24 and a center plate 25 at both ends and a center portion of the front plate 23, respectively, and surrounding two regions (first medicine receiving portion). 26a and the second medicine receiving portion 26b) are provided with bottom plates 27 on the bottom portions thereof. As shown in FIG. 3, an elastic sheet 31 is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 27. The bottom plate 27 rotates about the support shaft 28a, and in a state where the bottom surface is closed, the bottom plate 27 is gradually inclined downward toward the front plate 23. Thereby, the ampoule 12 paid out from the cassette 9 is smoothly accommodated in each medicine receiving part 26a, 26b. In addition, each bottom plate 27 rotates synchronously by transmitting power from a motor 28d provided on the front surface of the front plate 23 via a belt 28c spanned on a pulley 28b fixed to the support shaft 28a. The bottom is opened and closed. Then, the medicine receiving container 19 moves horizontally with respect to the slide base 17, and the medicine receiving portions 26 a and 26 b are respectively positioned with respect to the cassette 9, that is, the protruding base 20 of the protruding unit 18.

(1-3. Drug Recovery Unit 6) The drug recovery unit 6 includes a drug storage member 32 and a drug recovery container 34 that is disposed below the drug storage member 32 and is transported by the transport member 33.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the medicine storage member 32 includes a support part 35 fixed to the apparatus main body 3 and a main body part 36 supported by the support part 35 and capable of moving up and down. The main body portion 36 moves up and down by driving a motor (not shown) provided on the support portion 35. The main body part 36 is provided with four medicine storage parts 37. The bottom surface of each medicine storage unit 37 includes a first inclined plate 38 and a second inclined plate 39. The first inclined plate 38 is fixed to the main body 36 and is bent at an intermediate portion. A plurality of brushes 40 are integrated with the lower half of the first inclined plate 38 and protrude from the tip. The second inclined plate 39 is provided so as to be rotatable about a support shaft 39b by driving of a motor 39a. A pulley 39c is fixed to each of the support shafts 39b, and the second inclined plate 39 is rotated synchronously via a belt 39d spanned between the pulleys 39c. The second inclined plate 39 has the same configuration as that of the bottom plate 27 of the medicine receiving container 19 and includes a first inclined portion 41 and a second inclined portion 42 that are rotatably connected by a hinge 38a. Note that elastic sheets 43 are placed on the upper surfaces of the first inclined plate 38 and the second inclined plate 39, respectively. Further, if the second inclined plate 39 is arranged on the center side, it is possible to reliably discharge the ampules into the respective drug recovery portions 44 of the drug recovery container 34. Furthermore, the amount of the ampoule 12 received can be increased by inclining the first inclined plate 38 inward in accordance with the position of the medicine recovery unit 44. Thereby, since the medicine storage member 32 can be enlarged with respect to the medicine collection container 34, the storage amount of the ampule 12 can be increased.

The conveyance member 33 includes a conveyance belt 33a that is driven by a motor (not shown). The conveyance member 33 carries the drug collection container 34 into the apparatus main body 3, temporarily stops at the collection position, and then carries it out.

The drug recovery container 34 is divided into four parts by a partition plate 34a, whereby a drug recovery part 44 is formed. This is in accordance with the maximum number of prescriptions (morning, noon, evening, evening) per patient. The size of each drug collection unit 44 corresponds to each drug storage unit 37 of the drug storage member 32.

(1-4. Control Unit 7) As shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 7 moves the medicine receiving container 19 by driving and controlling various motors based on the prescription data input from the host computer or the like. Let Then, the corresponding medicine is dispensed and collected from the cassette 9 of the medicine storage unit 4, and the medicine is collected into the medicine collection container 34 via the medicine storage member 32. Thereafter, the medicine collection container 34 is moved to carry out the collected medicine.

(2. Operation) Next, the operation of the medicine dispensing device having the above configuration will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, based on the prescription data, it is determined whether there is a medicine dispensing instruction (step S1). If there is a dispensing instruction, the medicine dispensing quantity is calculated (step S2).

In the processing for calculating the amount of medicine to be dispensed, as shown in FIG. 9, it is determined to which medicine receiving portion 26 of the medicine receiving container 19 the medicine is to be dispensed (step S21). Here, since there are two medicine receiving units 26, the first medicine receiving unit is determined first, and is changed to the second medicine receiving unit in step S27 described later.

If determined to be the first medicine receiving unit, the dispensed quantity is initialized (n = 0) (step S22), and it is determined whether the dispensed quantity Y (i) is less than the unpaid quantity X (step S23). ). Then, until the dispensed quantity Y (i) reaches the unpaid quantity X or the following equation is satisfied (step S24), the dispensed quantity of medicine is added (n + 1) (step S25).

In this way, the paid-out quantity Y (i) is added, and even if the value exceeds the unpaid quantity X or the paid-out quantity Y (i) is less than the unpaid quantity X, the number 1 is satisfied. If it is determined that no more medicines can be stored in the first medicine receiving unit, the current delivery quantity (n) before adding the delivery quantity Y (i) is determined (step S26). Then, the medicine receiving unit 26 that dispenses the medicine is changed to the next second medicine receiving unit (step S27).

Thereafter, the steps S21 to S27 are continued in the same manner until the amount of medicine dispensed to the second medicine receiving unit is calculated (step S28).

If the amount of medicine to be dispensed is calculated, it is determined whether or not there is a medicine receiving unit 26 that can dispense the medicine (step S3). To the cassette 9 to be performed (step S4). Here, the medicine receiving container 19 is moved, and the first medicine receiving portion 26a is positioned at a position where it can be dispensed from the cassette 9 containing the corresponding medicine. And the rod 14 provided in the chemical | medical agent accommodation unit 4 is pushed in by making the protrusion pin 22 of the protrusion unit 18 protrude, the rotor 13 is rotated, and the medicine is discharged one by one. Thus, the amount of medicine calculated in advance in step S2 is dispensed from the cassette 9 to the medicine receiver 26 (step S5). When the medicine is dispensed, the unpaid quantity is updated based on the dispensed quantity (step S6).

In the same manner, the processes of steps S4 to S6 are continued until there is no medicine receiving unit 26 that can dispense the medicine in step S3. Here, the medicines are continuously dispensed from the cassette 9 to the respective medicine receivers 26 until all of the calculated dispensed quantities are delivered to both the first medicine receiver 26a and the second medicine receiver 26b. When the medicine is dispensed from the cassette 9 to the second medicine receiving section, the protruding unit 18 is provided on the first medicine receiving section 26a side, so that the medicine receiving container 19 is slid to move the second medicine receiving section 26b. Is positioned on the protruding unit 18.

When a plurality of types of drugs are to be paid out to the first drug receiving unit 26a and the second drug receiving unit 26b, the payout order can be set freely. For example, when one A drug is dispensed to the first drug receiving unit 26a, and one A drug and one B drug are dispensed to the second drug receiving unit 26b, the A drug is dispensed to the first drug receiving unit 26a. Thereafter, the second medicine receiving unit 26b may pay out one B medicine instead of the A medicine first. Further, when one A medicine and one B medicine are paid out to the first medicine receiving section 26a and one A medicine is paid out to the second medicine receiving section 26b, one A medicine is given to the first medicine receiving section 26a. After dispensing, before dispensing one A medicine to the second medicine receiving section 26b, one medicine B may be dispensed to the first medicine receiving section 26a first, or the first medicine receiving section 26a. Alternatively, one medicine A may be paid out by the second medicine receiver 26b. Further, a case where a medicine receiving operation is performed by one medicine receiving unit 26 will be described. For example, when the receiving limit amount of the medicine receiving unit 26 is 10, 6 A medicines of size 3 and 6 B medicines of size 2 are paid out, if 3 A medicines are delivered to the medicine receiving part 26, It is impossible to dispense more medicines to the medicine receiving unit 26. Therefore, the medicine A is once discharged from the medicine receiver 26 to the medicine storage member 32. Then, the medicine receiving unit 26 is moved again, and a second dispensing operation for dispensing three A drugs is executed. Subsequently, five B medicines are dispensed to the medicine receiving unit 26 in the third dispensing operation, and one B medicine remaining in the medicine receiving unit 26 is dispensed in the fourth dispensing operation. According to this, the payout operation is four times. On the other hand, if 4 A medicines and 2 B medicines are set as 1 set and it pays out, it can be completed by 3 paying-out operations.

When the dispensing of the medicines to the first medicine receiving unit 26a and the second medicine receiving unit 26b is completed, the medicine receiving container 19 is moved to the medicine storing member 32, and all the dispensed medicines are sent to the corresponding medicine storing units 37. (Step S7). Here, the first medicine receiver 26a is positioned in the first medicine reservoir of the medicine reservoir 32, and the second medicine receiver 26b is positioned in the second medicine reservoir. Then, the bottom plate 27 is rotated to open the bottom surface, and the medicine is discharged from each medicine receiving section 26 to each corresponding medicine storage section 37 at two locations simultaneously. At this time, the accommodation quantity of each medicine receiving unit 26 is reset (= 0).

If there is no dispensing instruction in step S1, it is determined whether or not the medicine remains in each medicine receiving portion 26 of the medicine receiving container 19 (step S8). This determination may be made, for example, based on whether or not a medicine is dispensed from the medicine receiving section 26 to the medicine storage member 32 after the medicine is dispensed from the cassette 9 to the medicine receiving section 26. If the medicine remains in the medicine receiving section 26, the medicine receiving container 19 is moved and moved to the remaining two places in each medicine storage section 37 of the medicine storage member 32 to discharge the medicine (step S9). ). At this time, similarly to the above, the accommodation quantity of each medicine receiving unit 26 is reset (= 0). Thereafter, a dispensing process for dispensing the medicine from the medicine storage member 32 to the medicine collection container 34 is executed (step S10).

In the dispensing process, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 10, first, it is determined whether or not the medicine is stored in all the medicine storage portions 37 of the medicine storage member 32 (step S31). If the storage of the medicine is completed, it waits until the medicine collection container 34 is positioned at the lower discharge position (step S32). When the medicine collection container 34 is positioned at the discharge position, the medicine storage member 32 is lowered (step S33). Subsequently, when the lowering position detection sensor (not shown) detects that the medicine storage member 32 has been lowered to the discharge preparation position near the discharge position (step S34), the medicine storage member 32 is stopped and the second inclined plate 39 is moved. By rotating, the bottom surface is opened (step S35). The second inclined plate 39 is rotated until it is detected by an open position detection sensor (not shown) (step S36). As a result, the stored medicines are dispensed to the respective medicine collection portions 44 of the medicine collection container 34 all at once. Thereafter, if the second inclined plate 39 is rotated to a predetermined position, the medicine storage member 32 is raised to the discharge standby position (step S37), and the medicine storage member 32 is detected by a standby position detection sensor (not shown) ( Step S38), the rising of the medicine storage member 32 is stopped, and the second inclined plate 39 is rotated to close the bottom surface (Step S39). The medicine collection container 34 from which the medicine has been dispensed is carried out to the next step, and the next medicine collection container 34 is carried in.

As described above, according to the configuration according to the above-described embodiment, it is only necessary to move the pair of medicine receiving units 26 up and down and left and right, so that the configuration can be simplified and manufactured at low cost. Further, since the medicine receiving container 19 is moved in the horizontal direction with respect to the protruding unit 18, each of the medicine receiving portions 26 also serves as the protruding unit 18, so that the medicine can be paid out reliably at high speed. This is particularly effective when the medicines are continuously dispensed from the same cassette 9. Furthermore, since the medicine can be temporarily stored in the medicine storage member 32 disposed in the vicinity of the medicine collection container 34 and the stored medicine can be discharged to the medicine collection container 34 at the same time, a quick dispensing operation can be performed. At the same time, the ampoule 12 that is a medicine does not have any problems such as cracks.

(3. Other Embodiments) The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and the like are possible within the scope of technical matters described in the claims. .

In the above-described embodiment, the medicine storage member 32 is temporarily stored before the medicine is discharged from the medicine receiving container 19 to the medicine collection container 34. However, the medicine storage member 32 is not necessarily required. The medicine may be dispensed directly from the receiving container 19 to each medicine collection unit 44 of the medicine collection container 34.

The medicine receiving container 19 is configured to move the pair of medicine receiving portions 26 vertically and horizontally while being adjacent to each other. However, each medicine receiving portion 26 may be individually moved vertically and horizontally. . According to this, while one medicine receiving unit 26 is receiving a medicine from a certain cassette 9, the other medicine receiving part 26 is receiving another cassette 9 (regardless of whether or not the medicine is the same). The medicine can be received from the medicine, and the medicine can be dispensed at a higher speed.

(3-2. Third Embodiment) In the above-described embodiment, the medicine receiving unit 5 includes the medicine receiving container 19 including the two medicine receiving portions 26. For example, as illustrated in FIG. A configuration in which two medicine receiving containers 19 including two medicine receiving portions 26 are provided is also possible.

That is, as shown in FIG. 15, four medicine receiving parts are first to fourth medicine receiving parts 55a to 55d (indicated by numbers 1 to 4 circled in the figure) in order from the end, The first medicine receiving section 55a and the fourth medicine receiving section 55d can be moved vertically and horizontally with respect to the second medicine receiving section 55b and the third medicine receiving section 55c that are positioned. In the figure, the position of the protruding pin 50 is indicated by a triangle. When the medicine is dispensed from the cassette 9 to the second medicine receiving section 55b and the third medicine receiving section 55c, the medicine receiving sections 55a to 55d are positioned as shown in FIG. Then, from the state shown in FIG. 15 (a), as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the first medicine receiving portion 55a and the fourth medicine receiving portion 55d are moved downward and moved toward each other. The second medicine receiver 55b and the third medicine receiver 55c are positioned below. Thereafter, all of the medicine receiving portions 55a to 55d are moved upward so that the first medicine receiving portion 55a and the fourth medicine receiving portion 55d can receive the medicine dispensed from the cassette 9 using the protruding pins 50. .

In the medicine receiving unit 5, as shown in FIG. 16, four medicine receiving portions 55a to 55d (indicated by numerals 1 to 4 surrounded by circles) may be configured to be movable. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the first medicine receiving portion 55a and the second medicine receiving portion 55b are rotatably connected by a link. Moreover, the 3rd chemical | medical agent receiving part 55c and the 4th chemical | medical agent receiving part 55d are connected so that rotation is possible by a link. And both links are connected so that rotation is possible by a link. Thereby, each chemical | medical agent receiving part 55a-55d can be arrange | positioned to the various arrangement | positioning patterns shown in FIG. Each of the medicine receiving portions 55a to 55d is arranged so that the medicine can be dispensed to any of the medicine receiving portions 55a to 55d even if the cassette 9 is mounted on both sides and vertically aligned, particularly the cassette 9 at the four corners. The arrangement pattern can be changed.

Further, the number of the medicine receiving units 26 is not limited to 2 or 4, and may be 3 or 5 or more.

Further, a direction changing container 61 for changing the direction of the medicine is separately provided between the medicine receiving unit 5 and the medicine storage member 32 so as to smoothly deliver the medicine to the medicine storage member 32. Is preferred.

That is, as shown in FIG. 17, the direction changing container 61 has a horizontal plane in the transport direction (right direction in the figure) around the support shaft 62 provided at one end of one side edge. It rotates in the range of about 90 degrees between the horizontal position along and the vertical position orthogonal to this.

The bottom plate 61a of the direction changing container 61 is provided so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft (not shown) at one side edge. The bottom plate 61a is supported by the upper surface of the support plate 63 and maintains a closed state. When reaching the medicine storage member 32, the bottom plate 61a loses support of the upper surface and is released by its own weight. Further, the bottom plate 61 a reaches the upper surface of the support plate 63 from the medicine storage member 32, and the bottom plate 61 a is automatically returned to the closed state by pressing the bottom surface.

A first cam 64 is integrated with the support shaft 62, and power from a motor 68 is transmitted through a second cam 65, a driven gear 66 and a drive gear 67.

The first cam 64 includes a first arm portion 69 that extends from the support shaft 62 on both sides, and a second arm portion 70 that extends in a direction orthogonal to the first arm portion 69. A notch groove 71 is formed in the center of the second arm portion 70 from the tip. In addition, first arc surfaces 72 are formed on both sides of the second arm portion 70 toward the first arm portion 69.

The second cam 65 is provided in the vicinity of the first cam 64 so as to be rotatable about the support shaft 73. The 2nd cam 65 is comprised by the large diameter part 74 and the small diameter part 75 integrated in the center part. The outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion 75 is in sliding contact with the first arc surface 72 of the first cam 64 and restricts the rotational position of the first cam 64. The small-diameter portion 75 has second arcuate surfaces 76 formed at two symmetrical positions. The large diameter portion 74 has a protrusion 77 at a position on the outer peripheral side that bisects one second arc surface 76 of the small diameter portion 75. The protrusion 77 engages / disengages with the cutout groove 71 of the first cam 64 and enables the first cam 64 to rotate in conjunction with the second cam 65 in the engaged state. A gear (not shown) is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the large diameter portion 74.

The driven gear 66 includes a large diameter gear 78 and a small diameter gear (not shown). The small diameter gear meshes with a gear (not shown) formed on the large diameter portion 74 of the second cam 65.

The drive gear 67 is integrated with the rotating shaft of the motor 68 and meshed with the driven gear 66. The driven gears 66 are engaged with the driven gears 66 of the two direction change containers 61 arranged adjacent to each other, and the two direction change containers 61 can be synchronously rotated via the drive gear 67. ing.

In the direction change container 61, the rotation start timing is shifted at two adjacent positions (hereinafter, the subscript A is attached to the left member of the two right positions in FIG. Subscript B is given to the right member.) That is, as shown in FIG. 21A, the second cams 65A and 65B are assumed to have the positional relationship between one small diameter portion 75A and the other small diameter portion 75B shifted by 90 degrees in the rotational direction. Accordingly, when the motor 68 is driven and the driven gears 66A and 66B are rotated counterclockwise via the drive gear 67, the respective parts operate as follows.

On the left side, the protrusion 77A of the second cam 65A enters the cutout groove 71A of the first cam 64A, and as shown in FIG. 21B, the first cam 64A is moved counterclockwise about the support shaft 62A. Rotate. Thereby, as shown in FIG.20 (b), direction change container 61A starts rotation. Then, when the first cam 64A rotates 90 degrees, the protrusion 77A drops out of the cutout groove 71A, the first cam 64A stops, and the direction changing container 61A is in the vertical position as shown in FIG. It becomes. At this time, the bottom plate 61a of the direction changing container 61A loses the support by the support plate 63 and is opened, and the stored medicine is discharged to the medicine storage member 32.

On the other hand, on the right side, while the direction changing container 61A is rotating, the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion 75B of the second cam 65B slides on the first arc surface 72A of the first cam 64B. For this reason, rotation of the 1st cam 64B is blocked | prevented and the direction change container 61B maintains the state of a sideways position. When the direction changing container 61A rotates to the vertical position, the projection 77B of the second cam 65B enters the cutout groove 71B of the first cam 64B, and as shown in FIG. 21 (c), the second cam 64B is rotated counterclockwise about the support shaft 62B. Thereby, direction change container 61B starts rotation. Then, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), when the second cam portion 64B rotates 90 degrees, the projection 77B drops off from the notch groove 71B, and the second cam 64B stops. As a result, as shown in FIG. 20 (d), the direction changing container 61 </ b> B is in the vertical position, and the stored medicine is discharged to the medicine storage member 32 as described above.

In this way, first, after the direction changing container 61A is turned from the horizontal position to the vertical position, the direction changing container 61B can be started to turn and be turned from the horizontal position to the vertical position. Therefore, the direction change containers 61A and 61B can be smoothly and smoothly rotated without interfering with each other within a limited area.

In addition, when rotating the direction change containers 61A and 61B from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the motor 68 may be driven in reverse to perform the reverse operation. Further, the two left side direction change containers 61 are only line-symmetrical with the above two right side containers, and the basic movement is the same.

In the above-described embodiment, the two direction change containers 61 can be driven by one motor. However, each direction change container 61 can be rotated forward and backward by a motor provided individually. Is possible.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the chemical | medical agent storage member 32 was set as the structure which only raises / lowers and opens / closes the 2nd inclination board 39 with respect to the 1st inclination board 38, it is preferable to comprise as follows.

In the configuration shown in FIGS. 22 to 24, the medicine storage member 32 can be moved up and down integrally at two places on the right side and two places on the left side, and the two places on the right side and the two places on the left side can be raised and lowered independently. It has become.

Each medicine storage member 32 includes a back surface portion 81 extending upward on the back surface side. Guide pieces 82 having a substantially U-shaped cross section are fixed to the back surface of the back surface portion. Two guide shafts 83 extending in the up-down direction are integrally arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the guide piece 82. The two guide shafts 83 provided on the back surface portion 81 of the two drug storage members 32 on the right side penetrate the two support portions 84 a provided on the front surface of the first support block 84. Further, the two guide shafts 83 provided on the back surface of the two drug storage members 32 on the left side penetrate the two support portions 85 a provided on the front surface of the second support block 85. As a result, the back surface portion 81, that is, each drug storage member 32 is supported via the guide shaft 83 so as to be able to move up and down independently of the support blocks 84 and 85.

The support blocks 84 and 85 are supported by a slide shaft 86 provided in the apparatus main body 3 so as to be movable up and down. A coil spring 87 is externally mounted on each slide shaft 86. The coil spring 87 is elastically supported when the support blocks 84 and 85 are lowered, thereby preventing the medicine storage member 32 from colliding with the medicine collection container 34. Note that the coil spring 87 may be directly attached to each of the support blocks 84 and 85 (it is not necessarily required to be mounted on the slide shaft 86).

The support blocks 84 and 85 and the medicine storage member 32 are moved up and down through the drive gear 89, the driven gear 90, the pulley 91, and the belt 92 by driving the motor 88 forward and backward. That is, the drive gear 89 is integrated with the rotating shaft 88 a of the motor 88, and the driven gear 90 is engaged with the drive gear 89. A pulley 91 is integrated with the driven gear 90. Furthermore, one end of a belt 92 is fixed to the pulley 91. The belt 91 can be wound and rewound by rotating the pulley 91 forward and backward. The other end of the belt 92 is connected to support blocks 84 and 85 that support the two drug storage members 32. Accordingly, when the motor 88 is driven to rotate forward and backward, the support blocks 84 and 85 and the medicine storage member 32 are moved up and down via the gears 89 and 90, the pulley 91 and the belt 92.

A belt 95 is built in the back surface portion 81 of each medicine storage member 32 so as to span the pulleys 93, 94 arranged vertically. A gear 96a is integrated with the rotary shaft 94a of the pulley 94 on the lower side. In addition to the gear 96a, three gears 96b, 96c, and 96d (conveniently four gears) are arranged in parallel on one end side of the medicine storage member 32. Adjacent ones of these gears 96a to 96d mesh with each other. The rotation axes of the gears 96 a and 96 d located on both sides are the rotation centers of the first bottom plate 97 and the second bottom plate 98. Accordingly, when the motor 88 is driven to rotate forward and backward, the first bottom plate 97 and the second bottom plate 98 are rotated in synchronization via the gears 96a to 96d, and the bottom surface of the medicine storage member 32 is opened and closed.

In the medicine storage member 32 configured as described above, the medicine is supplied from the medicine receiving container 19 and the direction changing container 61 as in the above embodiment. At this time, by driving the motor 88, the support blocks 84 and 85 are raised along the slide shaft 86, and the medicine storage member 32 is positioned at the upper receiving position.

If the medicine is stored in each medicine storage portion 37, the medicine collection container 34 is positioned at an appropriate position below the medicine storage member 32, and this time, the motor 88 is driven in reverse, so that the medicine storage member 32 is moved. Located at the lower delivery position. At this time, when the medicine storage member 32 is lowered to a predetermined position, the support blocks 84 and 85 are brought into contact with the coil spring 87 to receive an upward biasing force, and the lowering speed is reduced. For this reason, it is possible to prevent such a problem that one or both of the medicine storage members 32 collide with the medicine collection container 34 and are damaged.

When the medicine collection container 34 is thus positioned at the delivery position, the bottom plates 97 and 98 are opened, and the medicine is dispensed to each medicine collection section 44 of the medicine collection container 34. At this time, even if the medicine stored in the medicine collection container 34 and the opened bottom plates 97 and 98 interfere with each other, the coil spring 87 is elastically supported, and each medicine reservoir 37 is supported so that the guide shaft 83 is slidable. As a result, the drug does not move upward and an excessive load is not applied to the medicine.

In the embodiment, the ampule 12 is discharged from the cassette 9 in the horizontal direction, but the ampule 12 may be discharged in the vertical direction.

That is, the ampules 12 accommodated randomly in the cassette 9 are discharged in the vertical direction (along the longitudinal direction) by the payout member 200 as shown in FIG. The payout member 200 is configured such that a rotor 202 having a plurality of holding recesses (not shown) along the axial direction on an outer peripheral portion is rotatably disposed in a guide passage 201. The ampules 12 held in the vertical direction by the holding recesses are discharged from the guide passage 201 one by one as the rotor 202 rotates.

The ampoule 12 discharged from the cassette 9 is received by the medicine receiving unit 203 shown in FIG. This medicine receiving unit 203 is formed by dividing the inside of the frame body 204 into two by a pair of partition plates 205 to form two receiving portions 206 arranged side by side. The movement range is set only so that it does not protrude from the side area of the cassette 9 in which the receiving unit 206 is arranged and arranged in front of the space occupied by the cassette 9 (the side from which the medicine is discharged). ing. Therefore, the entire apparatus can be formed compactly.

Specifically, a characteristic operation of the medicine receiving unit 203 will be described.

Of the cassettes 9 aligned vertically and horizontally, the left and right end (vertical direction) columns limit the movement range of the medicine receiving unit 203 as described above, so that only one of the receiving units 206 is used. I cannot receive a drug that has been dispensed. For example, as shown in FIG. 29A, the first to seventh cassettes 9 are mounted on the uppermost stage, and the medicines are received from the first cassette 9 by each receiving unit 206 of the medicine receiving unit 203. In this case, as shown in FIG. 29B, it can be received only by the receiving unit 206 at the X position. In this case, in order to dispense the medicine stored in the first cassette 9 to each of the medicine storage portions 37 a to d of the medicine storage member 32, as shown in FIGS. It is necessary to move the medicine receiving unit 203. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 30, when the medicine is dispensed from the seventh cassette 9, it can be received only by the receiving section 206 at the Y position. In this case, it is necessary to move the medicine receiving unit 203 as shown in FIGS.

In addition, what is necessary is just to make it accommodate the chemical | medical agent with a low use frequency in the cassette 9 arrange | positioned at the row | line | column of the right-and-left end. As a result, the opportunity to receive the medicine only at one receiving unit 206 can be reduced, and the medicine dispensing time can be shortened. In this case, the low usage frequency may be determined by, for example, the prescription frequency (for example, the number of prescription drugs) included in the past prescription data.

Each receiving portion 206 includes a receiving rotating body 207 and a bottom plate 208, which are rotatably attached to the frame body 204. Each partition plate 205 is formed with a curved surface 205a that gradually protrudes inward in the vertical direction.

The receiving rotating body 207 is formed by molding a synthetic resin material, includes a receiving groove portion 209 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is cantilevered so as to be rotatable about the support shaft 207a on the front plate 204a of the frame body 204. . In the normal position shown in FIG. 27 (1), the receiving groove 209 is formed so as to open upward and to the cassette 9 side, and gradually incline (become deeper) downward from the cassette 9 side toward the front. Yes. The (semi-circular) opening on the cassette 9 side of the receiving groove 209 is positioned at the payout opening of the payout member 200. Further, the inclination angle of the receiving groove 209 is set to such a value that the ampoule 12 delivered from the cassette 9 can move smoothly and the moving speed does not become too fast. Here, it is about 20 degrees. However, this angle is changed due to the difference in slipperiness of the ampoule 12 due to the influence of the material of the receiving rotating body 207, the surface roughness of the receiving groove 209, and the like.

As shown in FIGS. 28A and 28C, the driven gear 210 is integrated with the support shaft 207 a of the receiving rotating body 207. The driving force from the motor 211 is transmitted to the driven gear 210 via the driving gear 212 and the intermediate gear 213, and the receiving rotating body 207 rotates. The rotation direction of the receiving rotating body 207 is a direction in which the receiving groove portion 209 is directed from the partition plate 205 side to the bottom plate 208.

As shown in FIG. 26, the receiving rotating body 207 has an inclined surface in which a part of the bottom surface is gradually inclined toward the front in accordance with the inclination of the receiving groove portion 209. Further, the receiving rotating body 207 is formed with tapered surfaces at both side edges of the receiving groove 209 so as to avoid interference with the partition plate 205 during rotation. Although not shown, the receiving rotating body 207 is formed with a through hole that opens above the receiving groove 209, and the ampoule 12 that passes through the through hole by an optical sensor (consisting of a light emitting element and a light receiving element). Can be detected. Thereby, for example, when the ampule 12 is paid out from the cassette 9 and cannot be detected by the sensor, it is possible to detect that a trouble such as the ampule 12 being clogged in the middle has occurred. Although not shown, it is preferable that an elastic member such as urethane rubber is attached to the receiving rotating body 207 as a buffering means on the inner end surface of the receiving groove 209. Thereby, even if the ampoule 12 which slides the receiving groove part 209, especially the head side collides with an inner end surface, it does not lead to damage. Further, instead of the elastic member, when the receiving rotating body 207 is located at the normal position, a deceleration region (for example, a horizontal surface or a curved surface) for reducing the moving speed of the ampoule 12 may be provided at the final position of the inclination. . In this case, the deceleration area becomes a buffer means.

In addition, it is preferable to stick an impact absorbing material (such as urethane) on the inner surface of the front side of the receiving groove portion 209. According to this, even if the ampoule 12 slides on the receiving groove 209 and collides with the inner surface on one end side, the impact force can be sufficiently reduced.

As shown in FIG. 27, the bottom plate 208 is provided on the frame body 204 so as to be rotatable between a closed position and an open position about a support shaft 208a. As shown in FIGS. 28B and 28C, the driven gear 215 is integrated with the support shaft 208 a so that the driving force from the motor 216 is transmitted via the driving gear 217 and the driven gear 218. It has become. Further, by stopping energization of the motor 216, the bottom plate 208 can be rotated. The bottom plate 208 is formed with guide walls 214 extending upward from both side portions and the edge portion on the support shaft side. Further, the tip side of the bottom plate 208 (the side opposite to the support shaft 208a) is formed so as to be gradually inclined upward toward the tip. When the bottom plate 208 is located at the closed position, the bottom plate 208 abuts on (or is located near) the lower surface of the lower end portion (a portion protruding horizontally) of the partition plate 205, and the partition plate 205, the guide wall, and a part of the bottom surface As a result, a holding region capable of holding the ampoule 12 is formed.

In the medicine dispensing device provided with each member, the ampule 12 is dispensed as follows.

That is, if the cassette 9 in which the corresponding ampoule 12 is accommodated based on the prescription data is specified, the medicine receiving unit 203 is moved to the front of the cassette 9. And the opening part of the receiving rotation body 207 of the chemical | medical agent receiving unit 203 is located in the discharge outlet of the dispensing member 200. FIG. In this state, by rotating the rotor 202 of the dispensing member 200, the ampules 12 are dispensed one by one from the cassette 9 (FIG. 28 (1)). The discharged ampule 12 enters the receiving groove 209 of the receiving rotating body 207 of the medicine receiving unit 203 in the vertical direction (FIG. 28 (2)).

As described above, the receiving groove portion 209 is formed so as to be gradually inclined downward toward the payout direction of the ampoule 12. In addition, the inclination angle is set to an appropriate value. Therefore, the ampoule 12 paid out from the cassette 9 in the vertical direction moves smoothly in the receiving groove portion 209 without receiving much impact force, and the tip portion abuts on the inner surface and stops.

When the delivery of the ampoule 12 to the receiving rotator 207 is completed, the motor 211 is driven to rotate the receiving rotator 207 (FIG. 28 (3)). Due to the rotation of the receiving rotating body 207, the ampoule 12 held in the receiving groove 209 rolls from the deepest position to one side edge along the inner surface (FIG. 28 (4)). Then, when the side edge portion moves away from the curved surface 205a on the lower end side of the partition plate 205 (FIG. 28 (5)), this time, the curved surface 205a rolls to the bottom plate 208 (FIG. 28 (6)). Thereafter, when the receiving rotating body 207 returns to the normal position, the next ampule 12 is paid out (FIG. 28 (7)).

Similarly, when a predetermined number of ampoules 12 included in the prescription data are dispensed from the cassette 9, the medicine receiving unit 203 is moved to the medicine storage member 32 of the medicine collection unit (FIG. 28 (8)). Then, by driving the motor to rotate the bottom plate 208 and opening the bottom surface (FIG. 29 (9)), the ampoule 12 held on the bottom plate 108 is transferred to each drug storage portion 37 of the drug storage member 32. Discharge. Further, as the bottom plate 208 rotates, the medicine receiving unit 203 is gradually moved upward (FIG. 28 (10)). At this time, the energization to the motor 216 is stopped to bring the bottom plate 208 into a rotatable state. As a result, even if the ampoule 12 is sandwiched between the bottom plate 208 and the medicine reservoir 37, only the weight of the bottom plate 208 acts, and no damage is caused. As a result, the ampoule 12 is smoothly discharged to the medicine storage unit 37. Thereafter, with the bottom plate 208 fully opened, the medicine receiving unit 203 moves upward away from the medicine reservoir 37 (FIG. 28 (11)), and at the position sufficiently away from the medicine collection unit, the bottom plate 208 is rotated to the closed position (FIG. 28 (12)).

Thus, by providing the medicine receiving unit 203 having the above-described configuration, even if the ampoule 12 is paid out from the cassette 9 in the vertical direction, it can be smoothly transported to the medicine collecting unit without being damaged. In particular, since the ampoule 12 can be transferred onto the bottom plate 208 one by one by the receiving rotating body 207, the ampoule does not interfere with each other, and the occurrence of a problem that the head is easily damaged is prevented. be able to. Further, on the bottom plate 208, the ampules are aligned side by side, and the ampule 12 that has been rolled by the rotation of the receiving rotating body 207 and the ampule 12 that is already positioned on the bottom plate 208 are damaged even if they collide with each other. There is no.

The receiving rotating body 207 is not only configured to have a receiving groove portion 209 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, but, for example, has a substantially cylindrical shape, and an opening through which the ampoule 12 can pass is formed in a part of the outer peripheral surface thereof. You may comprise. Then, the receiving rotating body 207 is rotated while the ampoule 12 is held, and when the opening moves downward, the ampoule 12 is moved to the curved surface 205a on the lower end side of the partition plate 205. That's fine.
