Description

  The present invention relates to a drug counting device capable of achieving both improvement in accuracy in drug counting and labor saving.

  In pharmacies and the like, the number and amount of drugs described in prescriptions are provided. For example, the medicine is provided in the form of a pouch that wraps the medicine for each dose, the vial in which the medicine is put in a bottle-like case called a vial, and a lid that has a lid, a transparent resin on one side, etc. There is a blister pack form in which a convex portion is provided, a medicine is put in the convex portion, and the lid is covered with a mount or a metal film. Among these, the vial form is used for enclosing and providing a large number of drugs that can be counted, such as tablets and capsules.

  When a drug is provided in the form of a vial, the pharmacy counts the required number of drugs described in the prescription, puts it in a vial, and provides it to the patient. Conventionally, in a pharmacy, a pharmacist takes out more tablets and capsules to be provided on a tray made of, for example, plastic than the necessary number, counts the necessary number visually, and encloses it in a vial. It has been broken.

  However, visual counting is inaccurate and a heavy burden on the pharmacist. For this reason, for example, Patent Document 1 has a plurality of domes for preventing aggregation and crowding of tablets on the tray, a digital counter for counting tablets on the tray, and a funnel member connected by a hinge. A drug counting tray is disclosed in which the funnel member rotates downward when the tray is lifted when returning the tablets on the tray to the container.

US Patent Application Publication No. 2014/0093344

  However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to lift and tilt the entire tray when putting a tablet for which counting has been completed into a container, which is a heavy burden. In particular, when the number of tablets is large, even if the tray is lifted and tilted to insert the tablets into the container, a situation may occur in which the tablets unintentionally roll down toward other than the container.

  For this reason, it is desired to develop a drug counting apparatus that can handle a drug with a small amount of labor when counting the drug.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a drug counting device that can handle a drug with little effort when counting the drug.

The medicine counting device of the present invention has at least a medicine placement portion for placing a countable medicine on a placement surface, and a plate-like portion having substantially the same width as the placement surface, and places the medicine on the placement surface. A push plate portion movable on the placement surface in a state where a distance between the placement surface and a lower end portion of the plate-like portion is smaller than a height of the medicine when pushing out from the surface; and the medicine placement portion adjacent to, have a, a medicine storage section provided at a position where the medicament is forced out of the mounting surface by the movement of the push plate, can change the distance and the mounting surface the lower end The push plate portion can move on the placement surface in a state in which the distance between the placement surface and the lower end portion is larger than the height of the medicine when the medicine is released.

  According to the present invention, a medicine can be handled with little effort when counting the medicine.

<First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the drug counting device 100. 2 to 4 are six views of the drug counting device 100. FIG. Specifically, FIG. 2A is a front view, and FIG. 2B is a rear view. FIG. 3A is a plan view, and FIG. 3B is a bottom view. FIG. 4A is a right side view, and FIG. 4B is a left side view. As shown in FIG. 1, the drug counting apparatus 100 includes a tray unit 110, a base unit 120, a monitor unit 130, a drug counting unit 140, a drug injection port 150, a drug moving unit 160, and an unnecessary drug injection port 170. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the side where the medicine outlet 150 is located is defined as the front of the medicine counting apparatus 100.

  The tray unit 110 is a dish-like member for counting tablets, capsules, and the like thereon. In the present invention, there are no particular limitations on the size of tablets, capsules, and the like counted by the drug counting device, but each has a certain size and assumes a size that can be counted in units of pieces. is doing. In the present embodiment, tablets, capsules, and the like that can be counted are collectively referred to as drugs.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the shape of the tray unit 110. FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A ′ shown in FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 5B, the tray unit 110 includes a drug placement unit 111, an unnecessary drug placement unit 112 that is narrower than the drug placement unit 111, and a boundary part 113.

  The medicine placement unit 111 has a placement surface for spreading and placing medicines and counting them. And the unnecessary chemical | medical agent placement part 112 has an indwelling surface for indwelling the said unnecessary chemical | medical agent when users, such as a pharmacist, move an unnecessary chemical | medical agent using a spatula etc. from the chemical | medical agent mounting part 111. In order to prevent the medicine once moved to the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 from unintentionally returning to the medicine placement section 111, there is no other part between the medicine placement section 111 and the unnecessary medicine placement section 112. The boundary 113 is configured to be higher.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, side wall surfaces 114 are formed substantially vertically from the bottom surface of the tray unit 110 at the left and right edge portions of the tray unit 110. The tray unit 110 is formed in a dish shape by the bottom surface of the tray unit 110, that is, the drug placement unit 111 and the unnecessary drug placement unit 112, and the side wall surface 114. Further, an edge portion 115 is formed from the upper end portion of the side wall surface 114 toward the outside of the tray portion 110. The edge portion 115 is a portion for improving the stability of the tray portion 110 with respect to the base portion 120.

  FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view for explaining an example of the shape of the boundary portion 113. As shown in FIG. 6, slopes 116 and 117 are formed between the apex of the boundary 113 and the drug placement part 111 and the unnecessary drug placement part 112, respectively. A user may move a drug from the drug placement unit 111 to the unnecessary drug placement unit 112 by using a spatula or the like, but it is fundamental to move a drug from the unnecessary drug placement unit 112 to the drug placement unit 111. Not. For this reason, the slope 117 on the unnecessary drug placement section 112 side is formed so that the slope is steeper than the slope 116 on the medicine placement section 111 side. In other words, when the angle α formed by the inclined surface 116 with respect to the vertical direction at the boundary 113 is compared with the angle β formed by the inclined surface 117, α> β is formed. The angle β may be 0, and the angle α may be an inclination angle that is easy to move when the user moves the medicine using a spatula or the like.

  In addition, about the height of the chemical | medical agent mounting part 111 and the unnecessary chemical | medical agent indwelling part 112, you may make it the same height and may make it different. In particular, the medicine placement unit 111 is formed so as to be higher than the unnecessary medicine placement unit 112 so that the medicine placed on the unnecessary medicine placement unit 112 does not return to the medicine placement unit 111 unintentionally. In addition, the user can move the medicine easily and reliably using a spatula or the like.

  The base unit 120 is a member for placing the above-described tray unit 110 and also a member for holding the monitor unit 130 and the medicine counting unit 140. The base part 120 may be fixed so that the tray part 110 described above cannot be removed, or the tray part 110 may be detachably mounted. When placed detachably, the user can easily remove the tray part 110 from the base part 120 by holding the edge part 115 of the tray part 110 described above, for example. By doing in this way, the tray part 110 can be removed from the base part 120 and cleaned, and the tray part 110 can be easily kept clean.

  Although not shown, a backlight is disposed immediately below the tray unit 110 in the base unit 120. This backlight irradiates the entire medicine placement unit 111 so that the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 becomes a silhouette when viewed from the medicine counting unit 140.

  In addition, the base unit 120 includes a drug storage unit 121 and an unnecessary drug storage unit 122. FIG. 7 is a rear perspective view of the drug counting device 100. As shown in FIG. 7, a medicine storage part 121 is provided between the front edge part 118 of the medicine placing part 111 and the front end part of the base part 120. The medicine storage part 121 is a hole-like part that is provided adjacent to the front edge part 118 of the medicine placement part 111 of the tray part 110 and stores the medicine that has been counted. The front edge portion 118 of the drug placement unit 111 is a frontmost edge portion of the drug placement unit 111.

  In addition, an unnecessary drug storage unit 122 is provided between the front edge portion of the unnecessary drug placement unit 112 and the front end portion of the base unit 120. The unnecessary medicine storage part 122 is a hole-shaped part that stores unnecessary medicines placed on the placement surface of the unwanted medicine placement part 112 of the tray unit 110.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the medicine storage unit 121 and the unnecessary medicine storage unit 122. FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B ′ shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8B, the medicine reservoir 121 has two slopes 123 having substantially equal inclination angles extending from both left and right ends of the front edge portion 118 of the medicine placement part 111. The two slopes 123 store the medicine dropped from the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111. A drug spout 150 for pouring out the stored drug to the outside of the drug counting device 100 is provided in the vicinity of the portion where the two slopes intersect. Details of the method of dropping the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 to the medicine storage unit 121 will be described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the unnecessary medicine storage part 122 has a slope 124 extending from the center side end of the front edge part 118 of the unnecessary medicine placement part 112. As described above, since the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 is narrower than the medicine placement section 111, the slope of the slope 124 is steep compared to the slope 123, as shown in FIGS. The slope 124 and the wall surface of the base portion 120 facing the slope 124 are formed so that unnecessary medicine dropped from the placement surface of the unwanted medicine placement section 112 can be stored. In the vicinity of the lowest part of the unnecessary medicine reservoir 122, an unnecessary medicine outlet 170 for pouring out the stored unnecessary medicine to the outside of the medicine counting apparatus 100 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the front edge portion 118 of the drug placement unit 111 may be formed so as to become higher as the drug counting device 100 moves forward. Thereby, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the medicine falls unintentionally beyond the front edge portion 118 toward the medicine storage section 121 during the counting of the medicine in the medicine placement section 111.

  The monitor unit 130 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL display. The monitor unit 130 has a touch panel and can accept an input operation by a user's touch. The monitor unit 130 displays the number of necessary drugs, displays an input key for inputting the number, and displays the number of drugs currently placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111. To do.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display screen of the monitor unit 130. As shown in FIG. 9, the display screen 200 of the monitor unit 130 includes a necessary number input screen 201, a numeric keypad 202, and a current number display screen 203. The necessary number input screen 201 is a display area for displaying the necessary number of necessary medicines described in the prescription. The number displayed on the necessary number input screen 201 is, for example, the number input by the user via the numeric keypad 202. The numeric keypad 202 is a display area that accepts numeric input using the touch panel of the monitor unit 130. The current number display screen 203 is a display area that displays the number of medicines placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 that has been photographed by the medicine counting unit 140 and counted by image processing. The counting start button 204 is an area for receiving an instruction to start counting from the user.

  In FIG. 9, the user input is accepted via the numeric keypad 202, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, instead of the numeric keypad 202, for example, a button for counting up an input value every time a touch is made or by continuing touching, or a button for similarly counting down is prepared, and a user's input is accepted through this button. May be.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the number for the required number input screen 201 is input via the numeric keypad 202, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number indicated by the barcode may be input to the necessary number input screen 201 by reading a barcode described in advance on a prescription or the like with a barcode reader (not shown).

  Moreover, although the monitor part 130 is being fixed to the base part 120 as shown in FIG. 1 etc. in this Embodiment, this invention is not limited to this. The monitor unit 130 may be configured to be removable from the base unit 120. In this case, the monitor unit 130 is preferably configured to be able to wirelessly communicate with the drug counting apparatus 100 by a communication device (not shown), and can receive a display screen or transmit contents input to the touch panel.

  The drug counting unit 140 is arranged almost immediately above the drug placement unit 111, and performs a image analysis on a camera that captures an area including the entire drug placement unit 111 and an image captured by the camera. The image analysis unit is configured to count the number of medicines placed on the placement surface of the placement unit 111. As described above, a backlight is arranged below the medicine placement unit 111, and the medicine is a silhouette in the image captured by the camera, so that it is easy to count the medicine by the image analysis unit.

  The medicine spout 150 is a spout for pouring out the medicine stored in the medicine reservoir 121 described above into various containers such as vials and bottles for storing medicine. FIG. 10 is a view for explaining the drug injection port 150. FIG. 10A is a view showing a state where the medicine spout 150 is closed, and FIG. 10B is a view showing a state where the medicine spout 150 is opened.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the drug spout 150 includes a drug guide part 151, a push-down part 152, a fulcrum part 153, and a frame part 154. When the medicine stored in the medicine reservoir 121 is poured into the container from the medicine outlet 150, first, as shown in FIG. 10A, the user places the lower edge of the container 300 such as a vial into the medicine guide part. 151 and the push-down portion 152. Then, when the user applies a downward force to the container 300, the push-down portion 152 rotates with the fulcrum portion 153 as a fulcrum and is pushed down. The medicine guide part 151 is configured to move in conjunction with the push-down part 152, and the medicine guide part 151 is also lowered along with the push-down part 152 as shown in FIG.

  Thereby, the medicine spout 150 closed by the medicine guide portion 151 and the frame portion 154 is opened, and the medicine is guided to the medicine guide portion 151 in an oblique state and poured into the container. Here, since the lower edge of the container 300 is inserted between the medicine guide portion 151 and the push-down portion 152, the medicine guided by the medicine guide portion 151 does not spill out of the container 300. It is poured into the container 300.

  When the medicine is completely poured and the user releases the container 300 from the medicine spout 150, the medicine guide 151 and the push-down part 152 are shown in FIG. 10A with the fulcrum part 153 as a fulcrum by an unillustrated elastic part. The outlet 150 returns to the closed state. Although illustration is omitted, the unnecessary medicine outlet 170 has the same configuration as the medicine outlet 150 described above, and the medicine stored in the unnecessary medicine reservoir 122 is obtained by the same procedure as the medicine outlet 150. Can be dispensed.

  The medicine moving unit 160 is a member that moves on the tray unit 110 in the front-rear direction. The medicine moving unit 160 plays two kinds of roles. One is a role of spreading the medicines placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 in a scattered manner so that the images can be easily recognized. The other is that after the counting is finished, the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111 and the unnecessary medicine placed on the placement surface of the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 are replaced with the medicine storage section 121 and the unnecessary medicine. It is a role to drop in the storage part 122. In order to play these two roles, the medicine moving unit 160 has, for example, the configuration shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the medicine moving unit 160. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the medicine moving unit 160. 12 to 14 are six views of the medicine moving unit 160. Specifically, FIG. 12A is a plan view, and FIG. 12B is a bottom view. FIG. 13A is a front view, and FIG. 13B is a rear view. FIG. 14A is a left side view, and FIG. 14B is a right side view. As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the medicine moving unit 160 includes a gripping part 161, a support part 162, a guide part 163, a partition part 164, a comb tooth part 165, a push plate operating part 166, a push plate part 167, and a fulcrum part. 168. The medicine moving unit 160 is attached so that the left and right edge portions of the tray unit 110 can be moved back and forth. The medicine moving unit 160 may be configured to be removable from the tray unit 110 or may be configured not to be removable.

  The gripping portion 161 is formed, for example, in a trapezoidal shape, and is disposed on the upper portion of the column portion 162 provided in the left-right direction. Guide portions 163 having a predetermined extent in the horizontal direction are formed at both left and right ends of the support column 162. A comb-like comb-tooth portion 165 is formed in the lower portion of the column portion 162. In addition, a partition 164 is provided on the inner side by a predetermined distance from the end of the support column 162. Here, in the configuration of the medicine moving section 160, the gripping section 161, the support section 162, the guide section 163, the partition section 164, and the comb tooth section 165 are integrally formed. It is a separate body from the plate portion 167. Note that the gripping portion 161 corresponds to the gripping portion of the present invention. The shape of the gripping portion 161 is not limited to a trapezoid, and may be another shape, for example, a square shape or a semicircular shape. Moreover, the comb-tooth part 165 is an example of the chemical dispersion part of this invention.

  The gripping part 161 is a part for the user to pinch and grip with a finger or the like. The guide parts 163 are provided at both left and right ends of the medicine moving part 160, and come into contact with the left and right edge portions (the edge part 115 explained in FIG. 5) of the tray part 110 described in FIG. This is a portion serving as a guide for moving 160 in the front-rear direction on the tray unit 110. That is, since the guide portions 163 are provided at the left and right ends of the drug moving unit 160, the entire drug moving unit 160 is not tilted with respect to the drug counting device 100 and remains vertical to the front-rear direction of the drug counting device 100. It can be moved back and forth.

  The partitioning part 164 is a member for partitioning the medicine placing part 111 and the unnecessary medicine placing part 112 described in FIG. 5B, and is arranged in the vicinity of the boundary part 113 shown in FIG. . That is, the partition part 164 is installed on the inner side from the end part of the column part 162 by the width of the unnecessary drug indwelling part 112.

  The comb-tooth portion 165 is a configuration for breaking up the medicine piles and spreading them apart when the medicines are piled up on the tray portion 110. That is, when the user grips the gripping part 161 and moves the entire medicine moving part 160 in the front-rear direction on the tray part 110, the comb-shaped comb-tooth part 165 hits the medicine stacked in a mountain shape. Can be released. The comb tooth portion 165 spreads the medicines apart, and when the medicines are counted by the medicine counting unit 140, the medicines overlap each other, so that accurate counting by image analysis cannot be performed. Can be avoided.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the push plate operating unit 166 and the push plate unit 167 are integrally formed so as to have a “<” shape when viewed from the side. Further, as shown in FIG. 12A, the push plate portion 167 includes a plate-like portion 167B having a lateral width substantially the same as the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111, and an indwelling surface of the medicine placement portion 112 having no lateral width. And a plate-like portion 167C that is substantially the same as that of the medicine separating portion 165. And, at a portion where the lower end side portion located on the lower end side of the push plate operation portion 166 and the upper end side portion located on the upper end side of the push plate portion 167 are in contact, that is, the connection portion between the push plate operation portion 166 and the push plate portion 167 Is provided with a fulcrum part 168 connected to other parts of the medicine moving part 160. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the fulcrum portion 168 is provided near the upper end portion of the comb tooth portion 165. The push plate portion 167 is rotatably provided with the fulcrum portion 168 as a central axis. In the vicinity of the fulcrum portion 168, a spring or the like (not shown) that urges the push plate operating portion 166 in a direction away from the gripping portion 161, in other words, a direction in which the push plate portion 167 approaches the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111, etc. Elastic material is provided. With this elastic material, when the user is not touching, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14, the push plate operation unit 166 is separated from the gripping unit 161.

  Since the push plate operation unit 166 and the push plate unit 167 are formed in a “<” shape when viewed from the side, the push plate operation unit 166 is separated from the gripping unit 161 as shown in FIG. In the state, the push plate portion 167 approaches the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 and is substantially in contact therewith.

  The push plate operation unit 166 is gripped by the user together with the gripping unit 161. FIGS. 15 to 18 are views showing a state in which the push plate operation unit 166 is held together with the gripper 161 and the finger of the user in the medicine moving unit illustrated in FIGS. 11 to 14. FIG. 15 is a perspective view, and FIGS. 16 to 18 are six views. Specifically, FIG. 16A is a plan view, and FIG. 16B is a bottom view. FIG. 17A is a front view, and FIG. 17B is a rear view. FIG. 18A is a left side view, and FIG. 18B is a right side view. As shown in FIGS. 16 and 18, when the push plate operating unit 166 is gripped together with the gripping unit 161 and these are substantially in contact with each other, the push plate unit 167 formed integrally with the push plate operating unit 166 is loaded with the medicine. It is in a state separated from the placement surface of the placement unit 111.

  As described above, the medicine moving unit 160 has two types of states, that is, the state where only the gripping part 161 is gripped by the user and the state where the gripping part 161 and the push plate operating part 166 are gripped by the user at the same time. Can take state. That is, when the user grips the push plate operating unit 166 together with the gripping unit 161, the push plate unit 167 is separated from the drug placement unit 111, and conversely, the user does not grip the push plate operating unit 166. When only the part 161 is gripped, the push plate part 167 is substantially in contact with the drug placement part 111.

  So far, each configuration of the drug counting device 100 has been described. Hereinafter, a usage pattern of the medicine counting apparatus 100 will be described. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining a usage mode of the drug counting device 100.

  FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view in the front-rear direction viewed from the right side of the drug counting device 100. In FIG. 19, that is, the left side in FIGS. 19A to 19D is the front side of the drug counting apparatus 100, and the right side is the rear side of the drug counting apparatus 100. In FIG. 19A, only the tray part 110 and the base part 120 are shown, and the monitor part 130, the medicine counting part 140, and the medicine spout port 150 are not shown.

  In the medicine counting apparatus 100, when counting medicines is started, first, as shown in FIG. 19A, more medicines to be counted are placed on the placement surface of the medicine placing part 111 than necessary. The step of placing is performed.

  At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 19A, the drug moving unit 160 is disposed near the end closest to the drug storing unit 121 and the unnecessary drug storing unit 122. Here, the support column 162 (see FIGS. 11 to 18), which is the long side of the drug moving unit 160, is arranged so as to be substantially perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the drug counting device 100. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), in the step of placing more than the required number of medicines to be counted on the placement surface of the medicine placement part 111, the medicine moving part 160 is a push plate part. 167 is in a state of being substantially in contact with the drug placement unit 111, that is, in the state shown in FIGS. Thus, when the medicine is spread on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111, even if the medicine is unintentionally rolled to the medicine storage section 122 side, it is pushed back by the push plate portion 167. The situation of falling to 122 can be prevented. Here, the user may hold only the gripping part 161, or the drug moving part 160 may be self-supporting when the guide part 163 contacts the edge part 115.

  In the step of placing more than the necessary number of medicines to be counted on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111, when the number of necessary medicines is large, for example, when hundreds of tablets are required, As shown to Fig.19 (a), the state which a chemical | medical agent accumulates in a mountain shape may arise. Thus, in the state where the medicines are stacked on each other, even if the backlight arranged immediately below the tray unit 110 is irradiated, the counting using the image taken by the medicine counting unit 140 is not accurately performed.

  For this reason, in the medicine counting apparatus 100, a process of spreading the medicines stacked in a mountain shape in a scattered manner is performed next. In this process, the medicine moving unit 160 is used. FIG.19 (b) has shown the process of spreading a chemical | medical agent separately.

  Note that, in the step of spreading the medicines apart, as shown in FIG. 20A, both the gripping part 161 and the push plate operation part 166 of the medicine moving part 160 are gripped by the user's fingers or the like. Thereby, the medicine moving unit 160 is in the state shown in FIGS. 15 to 18. FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating a state of the drug moving unit 160 in the step of leveling the drugs stacked in a mountain shape. As described above and as shown in FIG. 20A, when the gripping portion 161 and the push plate operating portion 166 are both gripped by the user and are almost in contact with each other, the lower end portion 167A of the push plate portion 167 is provided. And the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 are separated from each other.

  In the step of spreading the medicines stacked in a mountain shape, the user holds the gripping part 161 and the push plate operating part 166 together and moves away from the medicine storage part 121, that is, the front end part of the tray part 110. The medicine moving part 160 is moved from the rear end part to the rear end part. Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (a), the lower end portion 167A of the push plate portion 167 in a state separated from the comb tooth portion 165 comes into contact with the drug crest, and the high portion of the crest is broken.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), after the high portions of the peaks are broken by the push plate portion 167, the comb-shaped portions 165 that are formed in a comb shape are still separated one by one. Spread to be in a state. FIG. 20B is a diagram of the medicine moving unit 160 viewed from the front in a state where the user holds both the gripping unit 161 and the push plate operation unit 166. As shown in FIG. 20B, the push plate portion 167 is located on the rear side of the comb tooth portion 165, and the peak of the medicine is broken by the lower end portion 167 </ b> A of the push plate portion 167.

  Here, in a state where both the gripping portion 161 and the push plate operation portion 166 are gripped by the user, the distance between the distal end portion of the comb tooth portion 165 and the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 is high. Smaller than that. The length of the push plate portion 167 is adjusted so that the distance between the lower end portion 167A of the push plate portion 167 and the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 is at least larger than the height of the medicine. With such a configuration of the drug moving unit 160, the drug moving unit 160 moves from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the drug placing unit 111 while both the gripping unit 161 and the push plate operation unit 166 are held by the user. By doing so, the drugs stacked in a mountain shape are spread apart one by one. For this reason, the counting of the drug by the image analysis of the drug counting unit 140 after this is suitably performed.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 19, FIG. 19C shows that the medicine moving section 160 reaches the rear end of the medicine placement section 111 while both the grasping section 161 and the push plate operation section 166 are grasped by the user. The moved state is shown. In the state shown in FIG. 19C, for example, when the user inputs an instruction to perform counting via the monitor unit 130, the drug counting unit 140 calculates the number of drugs placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111. A counting step is performed. That is, a backlight (not shown) installed immediately below the medicine placement unit 111 is turned on, and an image including the entire placement surface 111 of the medicine placement unit is captured by the camera. The image taken by the camera is subjected to image analysis by an image analysis unit, and the number of drugs is counted. The counted number of medicines is displayed on the monitor unit 130, and the user refers to the number of medicines until the number of medicines placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 reaches a necessary number. Is used to drop unnecessary chemicals to the unnecessary chemical placement unit 112. Here, if the medicine is dropped too much onto the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 and the number of medicines placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111 becomes smaller than the required number, a new medicine is added. For example, a necessary number of drugs may be returned from the unnecessary drug placement unit 112 to the drug placement unit 111 by pinching them with a gloved finger or the like.

  When the number of medicines on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 reaches a desired number, a step of dropping the medicines on the tray unit 110 into the medicine storage unit 121 and the unnecessary medicine storage unit 122 is performed. In this step, as shown in FIG. 21A, only the gripping portion 161 is gripped by the user. FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a state of the drug moving unit 160 in the process of dropping the drug on the tray unit 110 into the drug storing unit 121 and the unnecessary drug storing unit 122. As described above and as shown in FIG. 21A, when only the gripping part 161 is gripped by the user, the lower end part 167A of the push plate part 167 and the placement surface of the medicine placement part 111 are almost the same. It will be in contact. The user only needs to grip the gripping part 161 when the number of medicines placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement part 111 reaches a desired number.

  In the step of dropping the medicine on the tray part 110 to the medicine storage part 121 and the unnecessary medicine storage part, the user moves the medicine moving part 160 closer to the medicine storage part 121 and the unnecessary medicine storage part 122 while holding only the grip part 161. In the direction, that is, from the rear end portion of the tray portion 110 to the front end portion. Then, as shown in FIGS. 21A and 21B, the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 by the push plate portion 167 substantially in contact with the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111. And the unnecessary chemical | medical agent detained on the indwelling surface of the unnecessary chemical | medical agent placement part 112 is pushed, and a chemical | medical agent is moved ahead of the chemical | medical agent mounting part 111, ie, the chemical | medical agent storage part 121 side. When the medicine moving section 160 reaches the front end of the tray section 110, the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111 is unnecessary placed on the placement surface of the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 in the medicine storage section 121. Each medicine is dropped into the unnecessary medicine reservoir 122. FIG. 21B is a diagram of the medicine moving unit 160 viewed from the front in a state where the user grips only the gripping unit 161.

  While the drug moving unit 160 is moved from the rear end portion of the tray unit 110 to the front end portion by the user, the partition unit 164 shown in FIGS. The movement of the placed medicine to the unnecessary medicine placing section 112 and the movement of the unnecessary medicine placed on the placing surface of the unnecessary medicine placing section 112 to the medicine placing section 111 side are prevented.

  Note that when the medicine is being pushed by the push plate portion 167, a force toward the rear side may act on the push plate portion 167 due to frictional force between the medicine and the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 or the like. In order to cope with this, for example, an elastic material (not shown) such as a spring is provided in the vicinity of the fulcrum portion 168 that connects the push plate operating portion 166 and the push plate portion 167 to other parts of the medicine moving portion 160. By the elastic material, the push plate portion 167 is biased in a direction approaching the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111. Accordingly, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the push plate portion 167 is unintentionally separated from the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 due to the backward force, and the medicine cannot be pushed.

  As described above, the drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has the drug placement unit 111 for placing a countable drug on the placement surface, and the placement surface and the lateral width. When the medicine has at least substantially the same plate-like portion and the medicine is pushed out from the placement surface, the distance between the placement surface and the lower end 167A of the plate-like portion 167B is smaller than the height of the medicine on the placement surface. There is a push plate portion 167 that can move, and a medicine storage portion 121 that is adjacent to the medicine placement portion 111 and is provided at a position where the medicine is pushed out of the placement surface by the movement of the push plate portion 167.

  With such a configuration, the medicine counted on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 can be easily moved to the medicine storage unit 121 by the push plate part 167 of the medicine movement unit 160. It can be done accurately and with little effort. When changing the type of medicine, the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111 is moved to the medicine storage section 121 by the push plate section 167 of the medicine movement section 160, and the medicine spout It is only necessary to dispense the drug from 150. For this reason, the effort and time at the time of changing the kind of chemical | medical agent can be reduced.

  Further, in the drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the push plate portion 167 can change the distance between the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 and the lower end portion 167A. The plate portion 167 can move on the placement surface in a state where the distance between the placement surface and the lower end portion 167A is larger than the height of the medicine when the medicine is separated. Further, the push plate portion 167 moves in a direction approaching the medicine reservoir 121 in a state where the distance between the placement surface and the lower end portion 167A is smaller than the height of the medicine, and the distance between the placement surface and the lower end portion 167A is equal to that of the medicine. In a state where it is larger than the height, it moves in a direction away from the medicine reservoir 121.

  In addition, the drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a comb tooth portion 165 that is a comb-shaped medicine dispersal portion at a position adjacent to the push plate portion 167, and the comb tooth portion.

The drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention further includes a drug counting unit that counts the drug placed on the placement surface.

  With such a configuration, when the user moves the medicine moving unit 160 in a direction away from the medicine storage unit 121, that is, when the user moves from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the medicine placement unit 111, The lower end portion 167A comes into contact with the medicines stacked in a mountain shape, the mountain is collapsed, and the medicines are spread apart by the comb teeth portion 165. After that, since the medicine is counted by the medicine counting unit 140, it is possible to avoid a situation where accurate counting cannot be performed due to the state in which the medicines overlap each other.

  In addition, the drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is provided adjacent to the drug placement unit 111, and among the drugs placed on the placement surface, an unnecessary drug is placed on the placement surface. And an unnecessary medicine storage section provided adjacent to the unnecessary medicine storage section, and an unnecessary medicine storage section provided at a position where unnecessary medicine is pushed out from the placement surface by the movement of the push plate section. The push plate portion further includes a plate-like portion 167C having substantially the same width as the indwelling surface.

  With such a configuration, when the user arranges a required number of medicines on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111, unnecessary medicines can be moved to the unnecessary medicine placement part 112 and retained. Easy to handle drugs. Furthermore, after a necessary number of medicines are placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111, the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111 and the unnecessary medicine by the push plate portion 167. Unnecessary medicines retained on the indwelling surface of the indwelling part 112 are moved to the medicine storage part 121 by the plate-like parts 167B and 167C of the push plate part 167, and unnecessary medicines are placed in the unnecessary medicine storage part 122 by Each can be moved. For this reason, since a necessary medicine and an unnecessary medicine can be moved at a time, it is possible to reduce labor and time for moving the medicine.

In addition, the drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a comb tooth portion 165 that is a drug separating portion at a position adjacent to the push plate portion 167, and the vicinity of the boundary between the placement surface and the placement surface. It further has a plate-like partition portion 164 fixed to the comb-tooth portion 165 and provided substantially perpendicular to the placement surface and the placement surface and parallel to the moving direction of the push plate portion.

  With such a configuration, the medicine placed on the medicine placement section 111 unintentionally moves to the unnecessary medicine placement section 112, or the unnecessary medicine placed on the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 unintentionally places the medicine. The situation of returning to the part 111 can be avoided.

  The above-described drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment has the comb tooth portion 165 formed in a comb shape as an example of the drug dispersal portion of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as another example of the drug dispersal part, for example, a brush or a brush-like configuration planted at intervals at which a plurality of drugs are preferably spread apart may be adopted. .

  Further, in the drug counting device 100 according to the first embodiment described above, the user can grasp the push plate operating unit 166 together with the grasping unit 161 or only the grasping unit 161. However, for example, a plurality of click holes (not shown) may be provided in the vicinity of the fulcrum portion 168 so as to be able to cope with more than the two states described above. That is, for example, the push plate operation unit 166 is grasped by the user together with the grasping unit 161 by the click hole so that the distance from the drug placement unit 111 of the lower end 167A of the push plate unit 167 can be adjusted in a plurality of stages. It may be possible to cope with three or more states, that is, a state in which only the gripping portion 161 is gripped, and a state in between. Thereby, according to the magnitude | size of a chemical | medical agent, the distance from the chemical | medical agent mounting part 111 of the lower end part 167A of the push board part 167 can be adjusted now.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The second embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment except for the shape and operation of the medicine moving unit. Therefore, hereinafter, the medicine moving unit 180 according to the second embodiment will be described. The drug moving unit 180 is an example of the drug moving member of the present invention.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram for explaining the drug moving unit 180 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B, the medicine moving unit 180 includes a gripping part 181, a support part 182, a guide part 183, a comb tooth part 185, a push plate part 187, and a fulcrum part 188. Among these configurations of the medicine moving unit 180, the gripping portion 181, the support column portion 182, the guide portion 183, and the comb tooth portion 185 are substantially the same as the configurations of the same names in the first embodiment.

  In other words, the gripping portion 181 is a part for the user to pinch and grip with a finger or the like, and is disposed on the upper portion of the support column 182 provided in the left-right direction. Guide portions 183 having a predetermined spread in the horizontal direction are formed at the left and right ends of the support column 182. A comb-like comb tooth portion 185 is formed at the lower portion of the support column portion 182. The gripping part 181, the column part 182, the guide part 183, and the comb tooth part 185 are integrally formed, and are formed separately from the push plate part 187.

  The push plate part 187 is connected to other parts of the medicine moving part 180 by a fulcrum part 188. As shown in FIG. 22, the fulcrum part 188 is provided on the upper side of the medicine moving part 160 close to the medicine storage part 121, that is, on the front side and located on the upper end side of the push plate part 187. . That is, the position where the fulcrum portion is provided is opposite to that of the first embodiment. The push plate portion 187 is configured to be rotatable about the fulcrum portion 188 as a central axis.

  The drug moving unit 180 plays two roles, similar to the drug moving unit 160 of the first embodiment. That is, one is a role of spreading the medicines placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 in a scattered manner so that image recognition is easy. The other is that after the counting is finished, the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111 and the unnecessary medicine placed on the placement surface of the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 are replaced with the medicine storage section 121 and the unnecessary medicine. It is a role to drop in the storage part 122.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram for explaining a state of the medicine moving unit 180 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 23A shows a state of the medicine moving unit 180 in the step of spreading the medicines stacked in a mountain shape. First, when the user holding the gripping part 181 moves the medicine moving part 180 from the front end part to the rear end part of the medicine placing part 111, the medicines stacked in a mountain shape come into contact with the comb tooth part 185. At the same time, the medicine that has passed through the comb teeth 185 contacts the surface of the push plate 187 on the side of the comb teeth 185.

  As described above, since the push plate portion 187 is connected to the support column portion 182 so as to freely rotate by the fulcrum portion 188, the push plate portion 187 in contact with the medicine as shown in FIG. It is pushed by the medicine and rotates to the front. Thereby, the lower end portion 187A of the push plate portion 187 is separated from the drug placement portion 111, and the tablet enters the gap. At the same time, the medicine still stacked in a mountain shape is broken by the lower end portion 187A of the push plate portion 187. Thus, when the pile of medicine is broken and the push plate portion 187 is not in contact with the medicine, the distance between the lower end of the push plate portion 187 and the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111 is smaller than the height of the medicine. Return to state.

  By repeating such state transitions, the drugs stacked in a mountain shape on the drug placement unit 111 are crushed by the comb teeth portion 185 and the lower end portion 187A of the push plate portion 187, and are spread apart. It becomes a state. For this reason, the counting of the drug by the image analysis of the drug counting unit 140 after this is suitably performed.

  When the number of medicines placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement unit 111 reaches a desired number, as shown in FIG. A step of dropping into the storage unit 122 is performed. In this step, the user grasps the grasping portion 181 and moves the medicine moving portion 180 from the rear end portion of the tray portion 110 to the front end portion. At this time, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), the front surface of the push plate portion 187 comes into contact with the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement portion 111. Here, a force in the backward direction is generated in the push plate portion 187 due to contact with the medicine, but the push plate portion 187 cannot be rotated any more due to the presence of the comb tooth portion 185. The medicine is pushed by 187, and the medicine is moved in front of the medicine placement unit 111, that is, toward the medicine storage unit 121 side. Thereby, the medicine placed on the placement surface of the medicine placement section 111 is dropped into the medicine storage section 121, and the medicine placed on the placement surface of the unnecessary medicine placement section 112 is dropped into the unnecessary medicine storage section 122.

  As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, the push plate portion 187 is provided closer to the drug reservoir 121 than the comb tooth portion 185, which is an example of the drug dispersal portion, that is, on the front side. The plate portion 187 is rotatably provided with a fulcrum portion 188 that is a connection portion provided on the upper end side that is the upper end side of the plate portion 187 as a central axis. With such a configuration, when the medicine moving unit 180 is moved from the front end portion of the tray unit 110 to the rear end portion without being operated by the user, the medicine can be spread apart and the medicine moving unit 180. When moving the tray part 110 from the rear end part to the front end part, all the medicines can be easily moved.

  In the description of the second embodiment described above, the configuration corresponding to the partition portion 164 of the first embodiment is omitted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the medicine moving portion 180 is a partition. May have a part.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The third embodiment is substantially the same as the first embodiment except for the shape and operation of the medicine moving unit. Therefore, the medicine moving unit 190 according to the third embodiment will be described below. The drug moving unit 190 is an example of the drug moving member of the present invention.

  FIGS. 24 to 27 are diagrams for explaining a drug moving unit 190 according to the third embodiment. 24 is a perspective view of the drug moving unit 190, and FIGS. 25 to 27 are six views of the drug moving unit 190. FIG. Specifically, FIG. 25A is a front view, and FIG. 25B is a rear view. FIG. 26A is a plan view, and FIG. 26B is a bottom view. FIG. 27A is a right side view, and FIG. 27B is a left side view. As illustrated in FIGS. 24 to 27, the medicine moving unit 190 includes a grip 191, a support column 192, a guide unit 193, and a push plate unit 197. The drug moving unit 190 is different from the drug moving unit 160 according to the first embodiment and the drug moving unit 180 according to the second embodiment in the shape and role of the guide unit 193.
