It may be configured to be caught in the elliptical movement trajectory groove 45 formed on the side.

The specific configuration and working relationship of the rotary circular conveyor 1 is as disclosed in detail in US Patent No. 4,643,495 (Mechanical storage cabinet with container conveyor) and US Patent No. 4,877,121 (Vertical excursion accommodation apparatus).

Operation of the rotary circular conveyor 1 is mainly made by the control unit. The controller detects the location of a specific bin and operates the rotary circular conveyor 1 such that the bin is equal to the height of the doorway 101 formed at the front of the main housing 100a.

On the other hand, in addition to the operation of the rotary circular conveyor by the control unit may be provided with an operating panel (not shown) for allowing the user to operate the rotary circular conveyor directly. The operation panel is to enable the rotary circular conveyor to operate in a situation where the control unit does not operate properly, it is meaningful to ensure the operation of the drug management device 100 in case of an emergency such as a failure of the control unit.

1 and 2, the rotary circular conveyor 1 and the shelf 200 are mounted inside the main body housing 100 a, and the chemical contained in the shelf 200 is placed on the front surface of the main body housing 100 a. In and out through the open doorway (101). Shelf 102 is formed on the bottom side of the doorway 101 for the convenience of the user at the time of taking out and out of the medicine, and on the one side of the shelf 102 and the top of the doorway 101 presenting or inputting various information according to the drug entrance and exit. An input / output device 103 is provided. In addition, there is provided a database means, a control unit for storing the history of the entry and exit of the drug, to process the stored information to present to the user.

The doorway 101 is provided with a main door 2 that opens and closes the doorway 101 to prevent any user from unauthorized access to the medicine. The main door 2 is composed of a sliding door in the vertical direction, and may be provided with a locking means 21 for closing the entrance and then locking the door. In this case, the lock means 21 may be an electronic lock means for unlocking by receiving a user ID and password through the input and output device, it may be simply made of a mechanical lock means consisting of a lock on the key. In addition, the main door may be manufactured in various ways including a sliding door as well as a sliding door.

This main door (2) is a meaning that any user can block access to all drugs stored in the drug storage and management device, it is possible to move the arbitrary position of the drug by an unauthorized third party This can prevent confusion when shipping drugs. Furthermore, drugs such as drugs can be accessed and managed only by some users who have the appropriate handling authority, and other drugs can be stored in shelves that store special handling drugs in order to be accessed and managed by legitimate users. It is necessary to have a shelf auxiliary door which is an individual lock for the door.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the operation of the main door and the shelf due to a malfunction of the user during the operation of the chemical taking out, the inside of the doorway 101 is provided with a monitoring sensor (not shown) for detecting an object existing over the doorway. The control unit may be configured to prevent the operation of the rotary circular conveyor 1 or the closing operation of the driving means of the main door 2 when the monitoring sensor recognizes the presence of the object.

The monitoring sensor is provided to face each other inside the doorway 101, specifically inside the groove in which the main door 2 moves up and down, and is arranged between the transmitter and the receiver of the laser beam through the transmission and reception of the laser beam. It may be made of a laser sensor that can detect the object. Therefore, when the user pulls the bin from the shelf and partially covers it on the shelf, it is possible to recognize a state in which the bin spans the entrance by the monitoring sensor.

The control unit receives the presence of an obstacle at the entrance from the monitoring sensor, and locks the main door so that the main door does not move even though the driving command of the rotary circular conveyor is not supplied to the drive motor, thereby operating the rotary circular conveyor or the main door. As a result, it is possible to prevent damage to the user's body or damage to the bin. Furthermore, the controller may be configured to warn the user by outputting a warning message or a warning sound to the input / output device when the user receives a command to operate the rotary circular conveyor or the main door in a situation where the presence of an obstacle by the monitoring sensor is recognized. .

On the other hand, the shelf can be stored in a plurality of bins containing a plurality of drugs, there is a point that it is difficult to immediately recognize the location of the bin for storing the drug to be put into or out of the user. Therefore, the display means 5 for indicating the position of the medicine or the specific bin input by the user to the input and output device 103 may be further provided.

The display means 5 displays an image of the shelf number and the approximate position of the bin in the image of the shelf through the image display device of the input / output device 103, or to recognize the position of the bin more directly. It may be provided to the left and right longitudinal direction of the doorway 101 to indicate the location of the user-designated bin 300 in the image image.

Referring to FIG. 2, the body housing 100a may further include a temperature and humidity control means 6 for controlling temperature and humidity therein. At this time, the temperature and humidity control means according to a known configuration that is provided with a humidity control means including a temperature control means and a dehumidification device through the air conditioning equipment, description of the specific configuration is omitted. The temperature and humidity control means, for example, may be a fan for discharging the high temperature of the inside to the outside.

Temperature-humidity control means 6 is to be controlled in operation by the control unit, to control the temperature and humidity inside the body housing. Frequent use of the rotary circular conveyor (1) causes the temperature rise inside the main body housing (100a), and the appropriate storage temperature and humidity of the drug according to the installation place or seasonal change of the chemical storage and management device is the prescribed range of the drug manufacturer There is a risk of getting out. In particular, the potion is likely to be deteriorated even within the distribution period depending on the temperature, it is necessary to store within a certain temperature range. As the temperature and humidity control means 6 is provided, the medicines can be stored without being altered within the distribution period.

Temperature and humidity control means 6 may be further provided with a temperature history recording means for recording a change in the internal temperature of the main body housing. The temperature history recording means records the internal temperature change during the operation time, checks the time zone outside the preset range, and performs a function of presenting it to the user through the input / output device. As a result, when the user withdraws a particular drug such as a temperature-sensitive potion, the user may refer to the temperature history record to prevent the drug from being stored at the proper temperature.

Hereinafter, the bin which concerns on 1st Embodiment of this invention is demonstrated with reference to FIGS. The bin 300 has a shape of a box having an open upper portion, and a plurality of homogeneous drugs are stored in the accommodation space 310 formed inside the bin 300. These bins 300 are provided in several standardized sizes to fit various drug sizes. Since a plurality of bins are installed in the drug management device, the user cannot find a drug by memorizing the location of the drugs contained in the bin. Therefore, the bin placed in the shelf includes recognition means 370 having identification information for distinguishing a particular bin from other bins, and the controller recognizes each bin individually and recognizes drug information stored in each bin by referring to a database. Thus, when the user specifies the medicine by the input / output device, it provides the user with the information of the medicine such as the location information such as which bin is stored in which shelf and the remaining quantity of the medicine through the input / output device, and updates the entry / exit history. The operation of the rotary circular conveyor described above with respect to the medicine and the designation of the bin via the display means are made.

To this end, the recognition means 370 included in each bin contains recognition information consisting of serial numbers of the bins, drug names stored in the bins, and preferably information on the positions of the preset bins.

For example, the recognition means 370 may be a barcode label 371. The bar code label 371, which is produced in series in the bar code label generator (not shown), is printed on a sticker, attached to the front surface of the bin 300, and the user registers with the control unit through the input / output device, and the shell number to which the bin is to be placed. By inputting the location of the bin (for example, a two-story shelf and 30 cm from the right), the location information of the bin is generated and the medicine to be contained is specified.

Therefore, when the user enters the name of the drug, the control unit is to operate the rotary circular conveyor so that the shell to the entrance, and the display means to point to the location with an arrow or the like. In addition, even when another user pulls out the bin to the outside of the drug management device, it is possible to know where to insert the bin again through the inquiry of the bar code label, and to know which bin to replenish when replenishing homogeneous drugs. Will be. Such barcode labels have the advantage of being cheaper in price than other recognition means described later.

The barcode label 371 may be formed on the front upper end of the bin 300 to be attached to an upper surface of the handle 320 to be pulled by the user. Thus, the barcode label may be barcoded directly at the entrance without removing the bin from the shelf. Since it can be read by the reader, it has the advantage that the search of the bean is convenient.

Meanwhile, the recognizing means may be made of an RFID tag (not shown), and a reader (not shown) may be mounted inside the main body housing to recognize the RF ID of each bin placed in the shelf in the longitudinal direction. have. The RFID tag included in the bin is generated by receiving the location information and the drug information together through the registration process by the user like the bar code label described above. As a result, when a specific drug name is input, the control unit can provide a bin containing the drug to the user through the operation and display means of the rotary circular conveyor using the pre-stored location information and the drug information. Is able to know which position to place through a separate reader.

Furthermore, by using the RFID tag, it is possible to immediately know whether the corresponding bin exists in the drug management device. As a result, when the bin is taken out by another user, the controller recognizes that the RFID tag of the bin is not detected by a reader provided inside the main body housing, and inputs / outputs to the user when the drug contained in the bin should be released. The device can tell that the bean is not in the shelf.

On the other hand, another recognition means, although not shown, a memory containing the recognition information

And a transmitter for transmitting identification information of the memory chip, and a receiver for receiving the transmitted identification information may be installed at the bottom of the shelf.

In this case, the receiver and the transmitter are fixed to the bottom surface of the shelf using a wired communication method, or a wireless communication method regardless of whether the bin is fixed. In this case, the bin placed in the shelf is often withdrawn from the front of the entrance and is used, so the wireless communication method is preferable to the wire communication method, and at this time, the identification information received by the receiver is recognized from the bin placed immediately above and the neighbor information. Recognition information sent from the sender of the bin may be received together.

In this case, the receiver and the transmitter use the ultrasonic wireless communication method that can obtain the distance information of the transmitter according to the time-of-flight, so that the receiver selects only the identification information located directly above and congestion due to the wireless communication. Can be solved. At this time, the power required for the recognition means and the receiver may be supplied through a wireless power supply means, or may be supplied to a battery mounted in each shelf and bin.

In addition, the location information of the bin identified by the receiver, the recognition information and the unique identification information of the receiver itself is sent to the control unit collected in another wireless communication method, the control unit receiver unique identification information, recognition information, drug information, location information of the bin By summation, it is possible to specify the location of the bin for each shelf. In this case, even if the bin is placed at any position of the shelf, since the receiver can recognize the position information on the specific bin, the convenience of use is further increased.

Since the remaining space is discarded when the bin is used to store a small number of drugs, as shown in FIG. 3, the internal accommodation space 310 of the bin 300 is divided to utilize the remaining space. The partition wall 330 may be provided. In this case, the recognition means 370 may be provided for each of the partitions 330 in order to manage the medicine loaded in the space divided by the partitions.

In this case, it is possible to store a small number of drugs in one bin, thereby reducing the remaining space of the bin to further increase the space utilization, and also has the advantage of managing the drug through the recognition means provided on the partition wall will be.

On the other hand, with reference to Figures 4 and 6 looks at the complete departure prevention structure of the bin.

In order to contain or remove chemicals in the bin 300 stored in the shelf 200, the bin 300 must be pulled out through the doorway 101. At this time, in order to prevent the entire bin is unintentionally released from the shelf, the bin 300 is caught by the jaw 211 in front of the bottom of the shelf 200 when the bin 300 is taken out. ) Is provided with a locking portion 340 to prevent it from being completely separated.

Specifically, the bottom front of the shelf 200 is formed with a jaw 211 raised to the top, the rear end of the bin recessed the rear portion of the bin 300 so that the engaging plate 341 is formed to be caught on the jaw 211 is formed. Formed. Furthermore, the bottom of the doorway 101 is formed convexly in accordance with the shape in which the rear portion of the bin 300 is recessed. Therefore, when the user lifts the handle 320 and tilts the bin, and then pulls it out in front of the doorway 101, the locking plate 341 of the bin 300 is caught by the jaw 211, and the bin moves further forward. If the user puts the bin 300 on the shelf 102, the door bottom and the recessed portion of the bin may be in contact with each other and the bin may be horizontally placed.

On the other hand, by lifting the bin 300 so that the locking plate 341 is not caught by the jaw 211, it is possible to completely remove the bin from the shelf.

In this way, if the user does not intend to configure the bin not to be completely removed from the shelf, it is possible to reduce the likelihood that the withdrawn bin is moved to another position.

In addition, the bin 300 may be made of a transparent material so that the drug stored in the inner receiving space can be identified from the outside. In this case, when the shelf appears at the doorway, the user can visually immediately check the brand or color of the drug familiar to them, so that the user can directly check the bin without checking the information of the bin specified by the display means or the input / output device. Can be recognized.

Referring to FIG. 5 in which a variant of the bin is shown, sliding bottom means may be further provided on the bottom surface of the bin to facilitate sliding forward and backward when the bin is withdrawn. The sliding aid 380 reduces friction between the bottom of the shelf and the bin 300 when the user lifts or pulls the front of the bin 300, thereby moving the bin with less force while preventing wear. To do that.

Specifically, the sliding assistance means 380 may be a roller 381 coupled to the rear end of the bin. The roller 381 may be installed on a locking plate 341 that contacts the bottom of the shelf 200 when the bin is lifted. In this case, it is possible to withdraw the bin with less force by the sliding assistance means, thereby reducing the fatigue of the user who frequently withdraws the drug.
