Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically distributing specified items such as medicines to be given to a sick person.

When Shingo is examined by a doctor at a hospital, medicine is given depending on the patient's condition, but it takes a considerable amount of time from the time the doctor issues a prescription until the patient receives the medicine. Patients were also treated for long periods of time.

In addition, even in the department that prepares pharmaceuticals according to prescriptions, it is a difficult task to prepare the specified medicine without making a mistake in the short period of time while the patient is waiting, and as a result, medicines are sold at low cost due to material costs. In addition, the cost of a large number of personnel for compounding is added, making it expensive.

Today, medical care has developed, but there are few doctors and there are major problems in the issuance of medicines, and the reality is that patients who should normally need rest are suffering from being kept in hospitals for long periods of time. .

In addition, due to these circumstances, patients have had to pay high prices for medicines, which has increased the burden on patients regardless of medical advances.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a device that automatically issues specified items such as medicines in view of the above-mentioned circumstances.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external view of a designated article issuing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the internal structure of the card, and FIG. 4 is a plan view of the card showing one embodiment of the card.

In FIG. 1, the designated article issuance device has a case 1 made of steel plates, etc., in which other types of articles are stored.
On the outside of the front side, there are formed an input slot 2 into which an article selection card is inserted and a display section 3 which displays the specified contents of the input card.

In the lower part, an article exit 4 is formed.
The building is designed with 4 fa so that the goods can be easily taken out.

In FIG. 2, the designated article issuance device has columns 6 formed inside a case 1 to accommodate other types of articles 5, and each column 6 is equipped with a screw for carrying out the articles 5 one by one. A device 7 is formed.

The articles 5 carried out from each column 6 fall down an article falling path 8 and are transferred to the outlet 4 formed at the bottom.

Furthermore, each unloading device 7 of each column 6 is formed with a driving device 9 at the rear thereof, and is configured to be selected and driven so as to unload a designated article 5.

In Fig. 3, the designated article delivery device has columns 6 arranged in 4 rows and 5 stages, and a screw-based delivery device 7 is formed at the upper center of each column 6, and medicines are loaded into the delivery device @7. The article 5 is formed from the bag and is suspended.

The unloading device 7 may be driven by a general rotating device, as long as it selectively drives any unloading device 7.

If the bag is configured so that the bag fits into the screw groove of the screw carrying device and is transferred by the rotation of the screw, the article 5 formed by the bag can be transferred to the screw crystal by one rotation of the screw. However, only one article 5 will be carried out.

There are many embodiments of such a dispensing device in conventional vending machines for various articles, and it can be easily implemented using existing technology.

Of course, it is not necessary to use the carrying-out device limited to this embodiment, and if the articles 5 are not packed in bags but in boxes, it is also possible to pile them up and push them out one by one to carry them out. It is possible to carry out the goods at any time, and obtain the same effect.

In FIG. 4, the card 10 specifying the article 5 can be easily processed magnetically, mechanically, or optically and can be easily detected by applying conventional technology. The recording portion 11 may be formed of a magnetic case, a notch 12 may be mechanically formed on the outer periphery of the card 10, or a through hole 13 may be formed for optical detection. , a combination μ of these may be used, or a simple one may be used.

C. These configurations include a function to carry out many types of articles, a card for specifying an article from which these articles can be selected, and an acceptance card that can read the signal of this card and specify the article. It consists of functions.

In such a configuration, the designated article issuance device is configured in case 1.
Articles 5 serving as predetermined medicines are suspended from the carrying-out device 7 of each column 6 formed inside the column.

When the doctor creates a prescription according to the patient's medical condition, the doctor specifies the medicine that can be exchanged (=J) using the card 10 using the designated item issuing device.

Further, when the card 10 is handed over to the patient, the patient can immediately designate the mulberry designated by the card 10, and the item delivery device can immediately complete the designated mulberry tree.

In other words, by inserting the card 10 into the specified goods exchange device, a selection signal for the medicine specified by the card 10 is generated in the slot 2 of the card 10, and the medicine specified by the card 10 is transferred to the specified delivery device. Drive 7.

Then, the mulberry at a predetermined temperature at °C is carried out as the article 5 to the carrying out port 4 by the carrying out device @7, so that the patient can easily receive the medicine within a short time.

This kind of delivery of medicines does not have to be carried out completely as a single item, but rather the compounded medicines can be divided into several parts and carried out as needed when the patient takes them. A wide variety of medicines can be obtained by employing auxiliary means such as compounding.

For example, even if three types of drugs were originally mixed and given to a patient under different conditions, if the three types of drugs were transported separately as three items and the patient was instructed to take them all at once. You can get the same result.

Of course, it would be sufficient to give the card 10 to the patient along with a note indicating how to take the medicine.

Although it is easy for a doctor to directly create the card 10, the same effect can be obtained even if the pharmaceutical department forms and issues the card 10 based on a prescription created by a doctor.

On the other hand, the designated article issuance device having such a configuration has the card 10.
Since only the item 5 designated as ``J:'' will be issued, the patient will not be issued with a different item by mistake, which is extremely effective in terms of the medical system.

Furthermore, since tau mulberry is stored in the designated item dispensing device in advance as item 5, the patient can obtain the medicine immediately after the doctor's diagnosis without having to wait for the pharmaceutical department to prepare the medicine.
For patients who often require bed rest, being able to receive medication in a short period of time is extremely effective.

In addition, if it is necessary to confirm the contents of the medicine and the person's identity by inserting the card 10, the name and disease name of the person inserting the card 1o can be displayed on the display section 3 formed at the top of the inserter D2. It is safe because it is easy to check whether the information is correct, and it is possible to prevent mistakes in the unlikely event of a mistake.

Then, when the inserted card 10 is stored inside the designated item issuing device, it can be confirmed that the patient has taken the medicine home.

Furthermore, even when patients receive medicines on a regular basis, they can easily obtain medicines by simply issuing the same card 10, which is convenient.

Of course, it is also possible to configure the system so that the money is paid at the same time as the medicine is delivered, and the money is paid in accordance with 8).
It is possible to streamline the pharmaceutical department and the money receiving department at a hospital all at once.

If money is to be processed in this way, it can be easily carried out by configuring a conventional automatic vending system (similar to the conventional automatic vending machine) by providing a money slot and a money processing device together.

Of course, it is easy to apply the insurance system and specify the amount of money to be paid on the card 10, which is convenient for streamlining hospital operations.

In a general hospital, there are many examination departments for different medical conditions, but by arranging such designated item exchange devices in each department, the variety of medicines is reduced and handling becomes easier.

In addition to such mulberries, designated goods can be issued at any time by issuing LCs equipped with signals such as cards, and if necessary, with the payment of money, for example. It can be effectively used to pay for supplies in game hinter J3, issue parts within the factory, and issue other designated items.

As explained above, according to the present invention, when issuing medicines to patients, especially in hospitals, etc., a designation is made using a card, and the goods are mechanically issued using the card.
This has the effect of making it possible to quickly issue medicine at any time without having to keep the patient open for long periods of time, and its practical benefits are extremely large.
