Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application: The present invention is mainly concerned with taking out the required number of blister-packed drug sheets from a storage chamber partitioned into multiple stages according to a preset program upon receiving a command. This invention relates to a device for arbitrarily taking out blister-wrapped articles so that they can be delivered to a specific location.

Background of the invention: In recent years, in dispensing operations at hospital pharmacies, a certain amount of tablets (including capsules) packaged in blister packs account for a large proportion of the total dispensing, and these are often used as prescriptions. The task is tiring for the dispenser as the dispensing agent is divided into smaller portions based on the number of doses.

Particularly in general hospitals with a wide range of medical fields, there are 600 Bliss-packaged drugs that need to be available for access at all times.
They are larger than seeds, requiring a large amount of storage space, and the work of taking them out without making mistakes places a lot of mental strain on the worker.

For this reason, there is a demand for labor saving in the work of taking out medicine and dividing it into required amounts.

However, a computer-controlled stacker device is known as a means for sorting and accommodating many types of articles and taking out only the necessary articles from the necessary positions by remote control.

However, in the stacker devices that have been proposed and put into practical use, independent articles are taken out from a shelf at a desired address according to instructions for the required number and transported to a discharge position, and the independent articles are further divided into smaller pieces. It would be practically difficult to transport it, and of course it is not put into practical use.

Means for Solving the Problems: In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has been developed to sort and sort blister packages from a storage chamber on a rack, using manually generated data according to a preset program. Basically, if the required amount of stored items at the required address is taken out and divided, the remaining amount is returned to the specified location.
The purpose is an auto stacker type blister package removal device that can transport only the required amount.

That is, the apparatus of the present invention includes: a package storage compartment divided into multiple stages vertically and horizontally; a stacker lift equipped with an elevating body that moves vertically and horizontally in front of the package storage; and mounted on the elevating body of the stacker lift. a dividing and taking-out device for the blister packages; a shooter disposed on the side of the storage unit for sending the articles taken out by the dividing and taking-out device to the next process; an elevating body of a stacker lift; and a blister package. The drive control of the body dividing and taking-out device is carried out by an output signal from a separately installed computer; A grip unit that picks up the object and selectively moves it in the horizontal and vertical directions according to the processing foot, and a cutter that selectively cuts at least one package of the package in the horizontal and vertical directions. It is equipped with a mechanism and a temporary storage bucket.

In addition, in the present invention, the base of the blister package division and takeout device mounted on the elevating body is provided with a small intake hole connected to a vacuum pump, so that when cutting and dividing the packaging sheet to be processed, the remaining side The sheet part of the board is held by suction on the top surface of the base.

Effect: According to the device of the present invention, the operator inputs the data required for dispensing according to the prescription in the computer operation section, and after the data is processed by the computer, the stacker lift is operated with the required command signal. to move the elevating body to the storage shelf position for the required package (medicine packaging sheet) in the storage.

Thereafter, the package division and take-out device mounted on the elevating body is operated, and the necessary amount of blister packages (tablets) are received into a temporary storage bucket provided on the elevating body. At this time, the amount of tablets taken out from the storage chamber is 1
If the number of tablets is within one sheet, the grip unit moves the packaging sheet to the shrink cutting position based on the instruction signal, and aligns the cutting part of the packaging sheet with the cutter mechanism according to the required number of tablets. Make vertical and horizontal cuts. After cutting the packaging sheet to be processed, the grip unit sends the removed packaging sheet to a temporary storage bucket. When the necessary amount of packaging sheets have been taken out, the elevating body is returned to the standby position, and the drug packaging sheets stored in the temporary storage bucket provided on the elevating body are placed in the chute located on the side of the storage. It is dispensed and sent out of the apparatus of the present invention via the shooter.

During the cutting operation to take out the required number of packaging sheets to be processed using the division and take-out device, the side left uncut by the cutting of the packaging sheet is suctioned and held on the base by a vacuum pump to facilitate cutting and also to provide a grip. Temporary storage by the unit can be stably held until it is returned to the storage fence.

In this way, according to the present invention, instead of manually taking out drug packaging sheets from a large number of storage shelves for dispensing and dividing them into small portions, it is now possible to automatically take out drug packaging sheets according to the prescription and perform dispensing operations. This means that there is only space in front of the storage where the elevating body equipped with the retrieval device can move, so the installation space for the storage section that stores many types of drug packaging sheets is reduced, making it easier to dispensing medicines. Work can now be streamlined.

Connect to a control device (not shown) to enable operation.

This control device is controlled and operated by a general-purpose computer, and its control program is designed to give required operating signals to each mechanism of the mechanical device section based on various information necessary for dispensing.

Next, the mode of operation will be explained step by step.

First, the elevating body 26 equipped with the dividing and taking out device 30 is waiting at the position shown in FIG. When the elevating body 26 is stopped at this standby position, the grip unit 40, particularly the grip holder 44, is in the position shown in FIG. 3. Of course, the horizontal cutting cutter 5353' and the vertical cutting cutter 58 of the cutting device 50 are located below the upper surface of the base 31.

In the control device, when dispensing data is input according to the prescription and a command signal is issued to the mechanism according to a predetermined procedure, first, the traverse motors 23 of the stacker lift 20 are started up and down at the same time, and the horizontal slider 2222' starts moving in synchronization. do.

Therefore, both horizontal slides] 8. The movable support 24 whose upper and lower sides are attached to the sea 2222' moves horizontally. In parallel with this, the elevating motor 25 of the elevating body 26 is also started (when the elevating body moves to another position at the same level as the standby position, it does not move up or down).
It is moved to a required position, for example, to the third row from the top and fourth row from the right of the storage 10 as shown in FIG. During this movement,
For example, a sensor is attached to each storage shelf 12 of the storage 10, and a specific position on the elevating body 26 side is detected by the sensor, and the target position is selected and stopped.

When the elevating body 26 stops at the target predetermined position, the fixed gripping piece 45 and the movable gripping piece 45' of the grip unit 40
are opposed to each other so that they can enter toward the seat exit 17.

Next, the grip unit 40 is rotated with the support frame 41 via the threaded guide 47 by rotating the vertical screw shaft 33 in the forward direction by starting the drive step motor 34.
The grip holder 44 moves forward, and both the fixed and movable gripping pieces 4545' enter the sheet outlet 17 of the storage cassette 14, as shown in FIG. Of course both grip pieces 4545
'After entering a certain amount, stop the forward operation. After that, the solenoid 45'' attached to the grip holder 44
is excited, and the movable gripping piece 45' is moved relative to the fixed gripping piece 45.
Press down and grasp the lowest end of the housing chamber 15 (see Figure 11).

If an instruction is given to take out one sheet from this gap, the grip unit 40 is moved backward as shown in FIG. 12 by rotating the vertical screw shaft 33 in the reverse direction while gripping the end of the sheet A. Thereafter, the horizontal screw shaft 43 is driven by the motor 46 to move the grip holder 44 to the right in the figure. When the Greenobu Uniso L40 moves backward and no trouble occurs due to contact between its guide shaft 42 and the sheet ejection roller 75, the sheet ejection roller 75 returns to its original position and the roller 750 returns to its rotating state. The sheet A that has been transversely fed by the grip holder 44 is sent to a certain location. At this time, by releasing the grip of the sheet 1-A by both the gripping pieces 4545' at or just before that moment, the sheet A is fed horizontally on the base 31 by the rotating sheet discharge roller 75, and is substantially pushed to the edge. Since it comes into contact with the roller at a lopsided position, make sure that it is bounced off, and
It is sent into temporary storage brush I-70 adjacent to 1.

In this way, one sheet of processed packages is taken out from the sheet storage shelf 12 (accommodation case 4) of the storage 10,
Grip boulder 4 has been transferred to temporary storage bucket 70
4 returns to the standby position -1. Subsequently, when taking out the sheet A, the grip unit 40 is moved forward again in the same manner as described above, and the sheet A is grasped and pulled out from within the storage cassette 14.

Therefore, by command in the control operation, for example, 7
When only one tablet is to be taken out, the dividing and taking out device 30 of the elevating body 26 is commanded by information programmed in advance, and the vertical screw shaft 33 moves in the required steps to remove the sheet gripped by both gripping pieces 4545'. ) Reverse the retraction distance of A to the set value. After that, I took out the sheet)A
As shown in FIG. 13, first, the transverse cutting position of the sheath A is moved to the operating position of the transverse cutting cutter 53 and then stopped.

At this time, make sure that the center cutting line of sheet A is exactly aligned with the vertical slit 38' provided on the base 31, and the horizontal cutting line to be cut is aligned with the horizontal slit 38' provided on the base 31.
Match above 8. In the state shown in FIG. 13, the packaged tablets on the sheet A are in a state in which three tablets in a vertical row remain on the side of the grip holder 44, and the remaining two tablets in a vertical row are to be removed.

When the sheet A stops at the cutting position, the vacuum pump 90 is operated, or the vacuum pump 90 is kept in operation at all times during operation, and the valve in the suction pipe is opened to draw suction from the small intake hole 36. Then, the side of the sheet A to be cut is attracted to the upper surface of the base plate 31.

At the same time as this operation, the arm operation motor 54 is activated.
As the cam 55 rotates, the support arm 51 is pulled up via the cam roller 56a and the rod 56C, and the horizontal cutting cutter 51 on the left side in the figure protrudes from the top surface of the base 31 and cuts the left side of the center line of the sheet A (15th (see figure).

Of course, the canter 5353' is driven by the motor 57. After cutting the left side of the sheet A from the center line, the cutter 53 is moved back and returned to its original position. Next, the suction operation by the vacuum pump 90 is temporarily stopped, and the grip unit 40 is moved back one tablet packaging pitch of sheet A as shown in Fig. 5, and the end of the sheet A is suctioned again by the suction operation by the vacuum pump 90. Hold. In this state,
This time, the swing arms 1 and 61 of the vertical cutting cutter 58 are rotated upward via the crank lever 62' by the drive of the arm operating moccule 2. Then, the center line to the sheet is cut by the longitudinal cutting canter 58 at the portion where it comes into contact with the cutter 58.

During this operation, make sure that sheet A is cut by one tablet packaging pitch (see Figures 16 and 17).
. When this vertical cutting is completed, the arm operation motor 54 is reversed so that the vertical cutting cutter 58 returns to its original position (standby position), and is stopped when it returns to the standby position. Following this operation, the transverse cutting cutter 53' on the opposite side
In the same manner as above, the cam roller 5 is rotated in the reverse direction of the cam 55.
6b and rod 56d, raise the support arm 51' on the right side in the figure as shown in FIG.
The sheet A is cut on the right side from the center line so that the slit 38 protrudes from the slit 38 toward the upper surface of the base 31.

In this way, when the front end of the sheet A is cut in three places vertically and horizontally, the cutter 5353' 58 is moved back to below the top surface of the base 31, and the remaining package sheet for three tablets is cut ( a) remains on the front end of the base 31 in an adsorbed state. During this time, the take-out sheet A', which is gripped by both gripping pieces 4545' on the grip unit 40 side, is temporarily stored in the grip holder 44 by the handler 1-7.
When the sheet A' is moved sideways to the zero side and approaches the position of the sheet ejection roller 75 (see FIG. 21), the gripping operation is released by de-energizing the solenoid 45'', and the sheet A' is taken out by the rotational force of the ejection roller 75. It is put into the temporary storage bucket 70 by.

After discharging the take-out sheet A', the grip unit 40 is driven by the vertical screw shaft 33 and the unit 40
By rotating the horizontal screw shaft 43, the grip holder 44 is moved to the position shown in FIG. At this position, the solenoid 45'' is energized again and both gripping pieces 4545' are operated to grip the remaining sheet a. In this state, the lifting motor 25 of the lifting body 26 is started,
As shown in FIG. 23, the elevating frame 26a is lowered from the sheet outlet 17 of the sheet storage cassette 14 to the opening position of the storage shelf 13, and then the grip boulder 44 is moved forward. Then, the remaining sheet a held by the user is inserted into the temporary storage shelf 13. During this gap, the spring plate 19, which is provided in the temporary storage shelf 13, is inserted so as to touch the center line of the remaining sheet material a (it is set in advance to be in that position), and the fixed gripping piece 45 is inserted. Notch 1
8, the movement is stopped and the movable gripping piece 45'
After that, the grip holder 44 retreats to the standby position A and stops as shown in FIG. 25.

As described above, one type of drug packaging sheet is taken out into the temporary storage bucket 70 in the required amount. Therefore, if you want to take out different types of medicines in succession, you can move the elevating body 26 to the storage shelf at the required address and take out the required amount in the manner described above.

After taking out the drug packaging sheet according to the prescription,
The traverse motor 2323 and the elevating motor 25 of the stanker lift 20 are driven to return the elevating body 26 to the standby position as shown in FIG. 26. After that, the shooter
The movable chute 83 of 80 is operated by its drive motor 84 and is tilted directly below the get 70 to temporarily store the divided takeout device 30 in the standby position. Next, the motor 72 of the temporary storage bucket 70 is started, the bottom plate 71 is lowered, and the sheets A and A', which had been received in the bucket 70, are moved onto the movable chute 83 of the shooter 80, which is opened at an angle. pay out to In this way, the division take-out device 3
Sheets A and A' received from 0 are fixed chute 82
It passes through the inside and is sent to the outside of the device from the outlet.

When these operations are completed, the bucket bottom plate 71 is closed, and then the movable chute 83 is raised to return to the standby state.

The drug packaging sheets (A, A') sent out from the shooter 80 are temporarily placed in a container and inspected, and then placed in a medicine bag and provided to the patient, or directly placed in a medicine bag for further use. Process.

During the above-mentioned sheet take-out operation, the remaining amount a after dividing and taking out the required number of tablets from one sheet is temporarily stored in the storage shelf 13 at a predetermined position in the storage 10 as described above. Since this number has already been stored as data in the control unit, the next time the sheet is taken out from the storage shelf at that storage address, the remaining sheet a is taken out first, and then the sheet at that position is taken out from the storage room 15. Take it out, divide it into the required amount, and when there is some leftover, put it back into the temporary container and return it to the shelf 13. These operations are performed in the manner described above.

When the storage cassette 14 in the storage 10 runs out of seams 1-A, a sensor provided in the storage cassette 4 or storage shelf 12 instructs the control unit to replenish the storage cassette 14. Of course, when the seat A is empty, the control section is operated so that the elevating body 26 does not move to that position, as in the case of normal computer control.

Effects of the invention: According to the present invention, when automatically selecting and taking out many types of blister packages, it is possible to cut the required number of packages from one packaging sheet and take them out separately, which eliminates the need for taking out and dividing them manually. The information provided to the drive unit makes it possible to reliably take out the medication, streamlining the process of dispensing large amounts of medication, and reducing the space required to organize and store medication, making effective use of the room. It can be said that it is useful.
