10, the drug delivery unit 100 includes a pair of rectilinear portions 130A and 130B facing each other in a plane, and a pair of curved portions 130A and 130B connecting opposite ends of the rectilinear portions 130A and 130B. And the cover part 200 and the bottom part 300 are provided so as to correspond to the shape of the drug delivery part 100. [

At this time, a plurality of partition spaces C arranged in the straight line portions 130A and 130B are formed, and the partition spaces C arranged in the curved portions 140A and 140B can be formed as one unit. The partition space C is defined as including 130A1, 130A2, 130A3, 130A4, 130B1, 130B2, 130B3, 130B4, 140A, 140B in FIG.

130A1, 130A2, 130A3, 130A4, 130B1, 130B2, 130B3, and 130B4, which are the partition spaces C disposed in the straight line portions 130A and 130B, serve as one or more of the input, atmosphere, inspection, . Of course, any one or more of the injection, the atmospheric, the inspection, the discharge and the disposal of the medicine may be arranged in the curved portions 140A and 140B as necessary.

Any one of the compartment spaces (C), for example, 130A1, is provided with a charging portion 210A serving as a primary charging of the medicine.

In addition, the partition space 130B1 of the partitioned space C may be provided with a loading portion 210B serving as a secondary injection of medicine.

The inspection unit 400 may be disposed on one side of the compartment space 130B1. In other words, it is possible to directly inspect the medicine in the compartment space 130B1 in which the second injection of the medicine is disposed. [0064] In this way, the inspecting unit 400 is placed in the compartment space where the injection of the medicine It is possible to perform the inspection of the medicine directly without moving the compartment space at the same time when the filling of the medicine of one capsule of the list is completed.

Typically, the medicines are naturally scattered on the bottom surface of the compartment space due to the impact caused by the drop. In some cases, the scattered medicament may come into contact with the interface of the compartment space 130B1, that is, the partition member 120.

In this case, since the drug recognition rate may be lowered, it is necessary to separate the medicine from the partitioning member 120. [

To this end, the medicament withdrawal device (ADM) according to the present invention includes an aligning part that separates the introduced medicines from the interface with a predetermined interval.

The aligning unit may be implemented to move the bottom surface of the partition space 130B1 or may be configured to move the partition member 120 constituting the partition space 130B1.

In the case of moving the bottom surface of the partition space 130B1, vibration may be applied to the bottom surface to disperse the medicament. In this case, the vibration member for vibrating the bottom surface serves as the alignment unit.

In the case of implementing the sorting part in the form of moving the partitioning member 120, the partitioning member 120 can be implemented by moving the partitioning member 120 a predetermined distance in the forward and backward directions with respect to the conveyance direction of the partitioning space 130B1. In this case, The member 110 serves as an alignment part.

The time required for the drug test can be minimized by the alignment process of the drug sorting unit.

On the other hand, the second opening member 320 which is openable and closable at the lower side can be disposed in the next compartment space 130B2 adjacent to the compartment space 130B1 so as to serve as a disposal agent.

In addition, the first opening member 310 may be disposed in the next curved portion partition space 140B of the partition space serving as the disposal of the curved portions 140A and 140B on the basis of the rotation direction. The medicine can be transferred to the packaging unit through the first discharge unit 310 and the packaging can be performed.

* Control of marking device according to control device setting

If the control device judges that all of the medicines are missing, a part of the medicines is omitted, the medicines are put into the medicine dispenser, or the medicines are misplaced, the marking device (800).

Alternatively, if a recognition error of the type of medicament is detected as a result of the examination, the marking device 900 can be controlled so that marking corresponding to the examination result is performed on the medicine pack in which the medicines are packaged.

Alternatively, if the inspection result shows that the quantity of the medicines in one box matches the quantity of the medicines in the prescription list, if the recognition error of some medicines occurs, the marking corresponding to the test result is performed on the medicines in which the medicines are packed (800).

Alternatively, if one batch of medicines tested does not match the prescription list, but the quantity of medicines in one batch matches the quantity of medicines in the prescription list, The marking apparatus 800 may be controlled to perform the marking operation.

* Conditional re-preparation according to control device setting

As described briefly in Table 1, cases where drug test results do not match the prescription list can be largely classified into Case 1, Case 2, and Case 3. In other words, the fact that the tested drug is inconsistent with the prescription list corresponds to at least one of omission of the drug, partial omission of the drug, overdose of the drug, misuse of the drug, and breakage of the drug.

* Setting 1: Discard unconditionally

According to one setting of the control device, if the test result corresponds to any one of Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3, it is possible to discard the one of the tested drugs. That is, the control device controls the medicine withdrawal device ADM so that the medicines are discharged through the waste part 320 and discarded.

* Setting 2: Inspector disposal after confirmation

According to another setting of the control device, if the test result corresponds to any one of Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3, the test result can be displayed to the inspector and the inspecting device can be discarded. At this time, the automatic medicine packing machine 1 may further include a display unit 500 for displaying inspection details and inspection results.

1, the display unit 500 is provided in the medicine dispensing apparatus 10, but the position of the display unit 500 is not limited thereto. For example, the display unit 500 may be provided on the lower body 20, or may be supported on a table or a stand separately provided from the automatic medicine packing machine 1.

As a result of the inspection, the display unit 500 can display at least one of a total omission of the medicine, a partial omission of the medicine, overloading of the medicine, misapplication of the medicine, and breakage of the medicine by mismatch history. In addition, the display unit 500 may display the unrecognizable details when the injected medicine is not recognized through the analysis of the photographed image. At this time, the displayed details may be displayed only in a text format or may be displayed as a captured image.

Meanwhile, the automatic medicine packing machine 1 may further include an input unit 600 receiving an operation command to perform an operation corresponding to the inspection result. Specifically, it is possible to input an operation command to perform at least one of operations such as omission of all of the medicine, partial omission of the medicine, overload of the medicine, wrong insertion of the medicine, breakage of the medicine and unrecognition of the medicine.

The input unit 600 may be a switch button for receiving an operation command, or may be a touch input unit integrally provided with the display unit 500 as shown in FIG. The examiner can appropriately perform the operation of the medicine withdrawing apparatus corresponding to the result displayed on the display unit 500 through the input unit 600.

If it is possible to match the prescription with the reintroduction of the medicament as a result of the examination, the control unit may open the external input unit 221 and display the missing medicament on the display unit 500. [ The inspector inserts the missing medicament into the external insertion portion 221 and operates the input portion 600 to allow the introduced medicament to enter the medicament withdrawal device ADM.

* Setting 3: conditional discard

If re-input is not possible

According to another setting of the control device, if the test results are not able to be reconciled with the prescription list due to the reintroduction of the missing drug, the one drug of the test can be discarded.

That is, the case corresponds to Case 3, specifically, the case where the quantity of the medicines to be inspected is inconsistent with the quantity of medicines in the prescription list, and the medicines do not agree with the prescription list, A new batch of medicine is injected from the device.

In case of Case 2, specifically, when the tested drug does not match the prescription list and the quantity of the tested drug exceeds the quantity of the drug in the prescription list, all of the drug is discarded and then the drug withdrawal device Of the new drug.

On the other hand, in Case 2 or Case 3, if the prescription list is made only of a medicament accommodated in the tablet storage unit of the medicament withdrawal apparatus, all of the medicines are discarded and then a new medicine is supplied from the medicament withdrawal apparatus.

As another example, in the case of Case 2 or Case 3, if the prescription list includes a medicament accommodated in the special handling medicament receiving portion of the medicament withdrawing device, the medicines are all discarded and then received in the refill receiving portion of the medicament withdrawing device And the special handling medicines in the prescription list can be controlled to be injected through the auxiliary dispensing section or the re-dispensing section of the medicine dispensing apparatus.

When re-input is possible

If one of the tested drugs does not match the prescription list and the quantity of the tested drug is below the prescription volume of the prescription list, the ADM can be controlled without discarding the tested drug, It can be reintroduced.

In Case 1, it is possible to reconcile with the prescription list by reintroducing missing drugs. The missing drug can be reintroduced through any one of the first injecting unit 210A, the second injecting unit 210B, and the re-injecting unit 220 depending on the type of the missing drug.

For example, when the missing medicament is a medicament accommodated in the special handling medicament receiving portion, the control device can control the reintroduction of the missing medicament through the re-inserting portion 220 provided in the medicament withdrawal device ADM.

As another example, if the missing medicament is a medicament accommodated in the tablet storage portion, the control device controls the medicament dispenser so that the missing medicament is reintroduced through the first insertion portion 210A or the second insertion portion 210B, can do.
