In the case where purified water is set, when the packaging operation is started, only the purified water is packed with tablets of the manual dispensing purified portion, and then the tablets from the tablet taking out device are packaged.

Reference numeral 2206 denotes information n of the tablet extraction device to be operated in the embodiment using the "manual distribution tablet replacement function". Information 2 to n of the tablet extraction device to be operated are unspecified.

That is, the information n of the tablet extraction apparatus to operate. n is the number of the tablet extraction apparatuses in which the tablet supply apparatus is mounted.

14 will be described.

14 is a flowchart of the tablet ejection device operation discrimination process executed by the main control CPU 1502, which is a main part that realizes the "manual distribution tablet replacement function".

This process is performed every time the operation start of the one-cycle wrapping operation which comprises a series of wrapping operations. Here, the substituted purified water counter is a down counter of purified water which substitutes the operation | movement of a manual distribution refinement | purification part, and is a variable ensured on the RAM of the CPU 1502 for main control.

In the replacement purified water counter, purified water 1705 which is replaced by manual distribution in the prescription data when the prescription data 1701 is received is set as an initial value. Further, the tablets corresponding to the purified water 1705 replaced by manual dispensing are set in the tablet compartment 901 in the order of the cell number by the quantity indicated by the user with the purified water 1705 before the start of the packaging operation.

In S1801, purified water 1705 in the prescription data 1701 is acquired as purified water taken out by the tablet extraction device. After that, the flow advances to S1802.

In S1802, it is checked whether the substituted purified water counter is zero. If it is 0, the process proceeds to S1803, and if it is not 0, the process proceeds to S1804.

Here, it is judged whether or not there are tablets supplied from the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism (manual dispensing supply determining means).

In addition, based on the number of tablets memorize | stored in prescription data here, it is judged whether there exists the tablet supplied from the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism 901 or not.

In S1803, the tablet extraction device is operated. The purified water taken out here is taken out purified water obtained by S1801. Thereafter, the tablet ejection device operation determination processing is finished.

Here, it is a case where it is judged that there is no tablet by the manual distribution supply determination means, and a sheet tablet supply mechanism supplies the tablet of the number packaged in one package.

In S1804, it is checked whether the substituted purified water counter is more than purified water taken out. If YES, go to S1805. If no, the process proceeds to S1807.

Here, the number of tablets supplied from the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism 901 is insufficient for the number of packages packed in one packet, depending on the number of tablets packed in one packet and the number of tablets that can be supplied from the manual dispense tablet supplying mechanism 901. It is judged whether or not it is hanji (lack test means).

In this case, it is determined whether the number of tablets that can be supplied from the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism 901 is insufficient to the number that is packed in one packet based on the number of tablets stored in the prescription data and the number packed in one packet. Doing.

In S1805, the manual dispensing tablet unit is operated to pack one tablet of the slide unit 1101. This then proceeds to S1806.

Here, it is a case where it is judged that refinement exists by the manual distribution supply determination means, and a manual distribution tablet supply mechanism supplies the tablet of the number packaged in the said 1 bag.

In S1806, the purified substitution counter is updated. Since the manual dispensing purification unit was operated in S1805, the refinement substitution water counter is updated to the value obtained by subtracting the purified water packaged here (= purified water obtained in S1801). This next ends the tablet ejection device operation discrimination process.

When the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism 901 supplies tablets in this way, the number of tablets stored in the prescription data is updated to the number of remaining tablets not yet supplied from the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism (update means).

In S1807, the manual dispensing tablet unit is operated to pack one tablet of the slide unit 1101. This then proceeds to S1808. By branching in S1804, only one tablet of the slide portion 1101 is set to a quantity of water less than the purified water obtained in S1801.

In S1808, the purified purified water is corrected to the value obtained by subtracting the value of the manual dispense substitution counter.

When the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism 901 supplies tablets in this way, the number of tablets stored in the prescription data is updated to the number of remaining tablets not yet supplied from the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism (update means).

This then proceeds to S1809. As described in S1807, the purified water is insufficient in the slide portion 1101. The purified purified water after correction corresponds to this insufficient purified water.

In S1809, the tablet extraction device is operated. The purified water taken out here is taken out purified water after correction in S1808. As a result, the purified water insufficient in S1807 is replenished by the operation of the tablet extraction device. This then proceeds to S1810.

Here, it is a case where it is judged that there is a shortage by the lack determination means, and in S1807, the manual-dispensing tablet supply mechanism supplies the tablet 901 and the number of tablets which the sheet tablet supply mechanism 24 lacks, so that it may be packed in one bag. do.

In S1810, 0 is set in the substituted purified water counter. This next ends the tablet ejection device operation discrimination process. By this, after the packaging operation of the next cycle, the branch of the branch of S1802 is shifted to S1803, and only the operation of the tablet taking out device is performed.

As shown in FIG. 16, the S1802 manual dispensing supply determination determines whether or not there are tablets supplied from the manual dispensing tablet supplying mechanism based on the number of remaining tablets updated, and the manual dispensing tablet supplying mechanism determines whether the manual dispensing tablet supplying mechanism is updated. The tablets are supplied preferentially to the packaging sheet by supplying the tablets until the number of tablets is 0, thereby supplying the tablets from the manual dispensing tablet supply mechanism.

In addition, the process shown in FIG. 14 is a case where only one unit of a tablet extraction apparatus is focused, and when several tablet extraction apparatuses operate simultaneously, such a process is performed for each tablet extraction apparatus.
