For example, the drug inlet and the inspection part may be arranged in the same compartment space, and the opening member may be arranged in the other compartment space.

The drug inlet may be formed in the cover part 200 to inject at least one medicament into at least one of the compartment spaces. When the cover part 200 is not provided, the medicine inlet is placed on the upper side of the position corresponding to the first position to the N-th position (i.e., any one of C1, C2, C3, ... CN) .

The medicament inlet port is connected to a hopper or a medicament passage for guiding the medicament discharged from at least one of the tablet storage section, the atypical tablet storage section, the acid storage section and the special handling medicament storage section to at least one of the partition spaces.

According to an embodiment, the medicament inlet may include a first inlet and a second inlet.

At this time, the first inlet may be configured to inject the medicine collected from at least one of the tablet storage portion, the atypical tablet storage portion, the acid storage portion and the special handling medicine storage portion into at least one of the partition spaces. ,

And the second inlet may be configured to inject the medicine collected from at least one of the receiving portions except for the receiving portion providing the medicine into the first inlet into the compartment space.

The first input port and the second input port may be disposed in different partition spaces (i.e., arranged at different positions in the cover portion) and may be disposed in the same partition space (that is, disposed at the same position in the cover portion). When the first inlet port and the second inlet port are disposed in the same partition space, one medicine agent can be injected into the compartment space in which the first inlet port and the second inlet port are disposed at a time.

FIG. 4 shows a case where the first input port and the second input port are disposed in different partition spaces, and the portions denoted by reference numerals 210A and 210B correspond to the first input port and the second input port, respectively.

On the other hand, the inspecting unit is a device for inspecting the injected drug through the inlet, and photographs the compartment space where the inspecting unit is disposed, and inspects the injected drug.

The control unit judges whether or not the medicines inspected by the examination unit coincide with the medicines listed in the prescription. The control unit judges that when the test results include at least one of all omission of the medicine, partial omission of the medicine, overload of the medicine, misapplication of the medicine, and breakage of the medicine, the medicine is inconsistent with the prescription standard.

The reintroduction port reintroduces the medicine to match the prescription if it is judged that the medication examined by the control section is inconsistent with the prescription standard. To this end, the re-entry port may be placed in a compartment space into which a medicament incompatible with the medicament list is injected as a result of the inspection by the inspection section. Further, the re-entry opening may be arranged in the partition space having the inspection information details. That is, the reintroduction port is disposed in any one of the compartment spaces where the inspection is performed, and the medicine is reintroduced into the compartment space containing the medicines that are inconsistent with the prescription standard, in order to match with the prescription.

The reintroduction port can be supplied with the medicine reintroduced from the reintroducing medicine storage box designated in the medicine dispensing apparatus 10. [ The reintroduction port may be embodied in the form of a hopper that guides the medicament provided from the reintroduction agent storage to at least one of the compartment spaces.

At this time, the reintroduced medicine storage box may be any one of the cassettes provided in the tablet storage section, or one of the automatic tablet cassette automatic feed cassettes provided in the atypical tablet storage section, or one of the trays provided in the special handling medicine storage section It could be one.

According to the embodiment, the reintroduction port may be supplied with the medicine reintroduced through the external input port 221. In this case, the re-entry port may be configured to include a form of a drug moving path for guiding the medicine to be injected from the external input port 221 to at least one of the compartment spaces.

FIG. 4 shows a case where a medicine to be reintroduced through the external input port 221 is supplied, and a portion denoted by reference numeral 220 corresponds to a reintroduction port. At this time, the external input port 221 can be controlled to be automatically opened when the tested medicament is inconsistent with the prescription basis.

The opening member transports the drug placed on the bottom portion to the outside. The opening member may include a first opening member for transporting the introduced medicament toward the packaging apparatus and a second opening member for transporting the introduced medicament toward the medicament disposal.

According to the embodiment, the first opening member and the second opening member may be disposed in the same partition space or in different partition spaces.

Referring to FIG. 4, a portion denoted by reference numeral 310 corresponds to the first opening member. The first opening member delivers the medicament corresponding to the prescription of the test result to the packaging apparatus. The second opening member is not shown for the sake of brevity.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, a general embodiment of a drug dispensing operation, a medicine inspecting operation, a medicine re-dispensing operation, and a medicine dispensing operation performed in the medicine dispensing apparatus ADM according to the present invention will be described.

The medicine drawing device ADM includes a plurality of compartment spaces C1, C2, ..., Cn divided by the medicine feeding portion 100. [ The chemical feeding unit 100 includes a feeding member 110 for feeding and a partitioning member 120 connected to the feeding member 110 to form compartment spaces C1, C2, ..., CN.

According to the drawings, there are seven compartment spaces (C1, C2, ..., CN), but this is by convenience of illustration, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The drug dispensing device ADM of the present invention can perform the operation of injecting a medicament, the operation of inspecting a medicament, the operation of injecting a medicament again, and the operation of discharging a medicament even when the present invention is implemented with two compartment spaces. The number of the partition spaces to be used can be appropriately modified depending on the positions of the chemical agent inlet, the reentry inlet, the inspection portion, and the opening member.

The medicine drawing device ADM may be provided so as to be disposed together with any one of the compartment spaces, that is, the medication inlet, the examining portion, and the opening portion, with N compartment spaces (where N is natural number) At least one of the inlet, the inspection unit and the opening member may be arranged in a partition space other than the partition space in which the other remainder is disposed.

For example, the drug inlet and the inspection part may be arranged in the same compartment space, and the opening member may be arranged in the other compartment space.

At this time, when the chemical injection port is disposed in the partition space C1, the re-injection port may be disposed in the same partition space C1 or in any of the remaining partition spaces C2, ..., CN except for the partition space C1 .

Even when each of the compartment spaces C1 to CN is implemented as a rotatable shape as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the arrangement positions of the medication inlet, the inspection unit, the re-entry opening and the opening member can be applied as described in FIG. Do.

 The re-entry opening is located on the upper side with respect to the plane in which the N compartment spaces are transported. Referring to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the re-entry port 220 is located above the position of the compartment space in the medicine withdrawal device ADM. With this arrangement, it is possible to drop the medicine by gravity. Therefore, the re-entry port can be formed with a simple structure.

The inspection unit may be disposed in a partition space in which the medicine feed port is disposed or in a partition space in a direction in which the partition space is transported. That is, the inspecting unit may be disposed in any one of the remaining compartment spaces in which the compartment space in which the medicines in the list of medicines described in the prescription are all collected, or the compartment space in which the medicines in the prescription drug list are all collected is transferred .

Since the inspecting unit inspects the injected medicines by photographing the divided spaces in which the inspecting unit is disposed, it is preferable that the inspecting unit is disposed in the compartment space in which all of the medicines on the prescription drug list are accommodated.

For example, the medicines listed in the prescription are composed of the A medicament, the B medicament, and the C medicament, and the dosing inlet includes the A medicament introduction port for injecting the A medicament, the B medicament introduction port for the B medicament, and the C medicament injection port for the C medicament If each inlet is divided into three compartment spaces, the inspecting unit may be disposed in a compartment space where the last C medication inlet is disposed, or in the next compartment space of the compartment space where the last C medication inlet is located .

Since the re-entry port is an inlet for reintroducing the missing medicament for matching with the prescription, any one of the next compartment spaces of the compartment space in which the medicines are inspected, that is, As shown in Fig.

When the medicines listed in the prescription are all injected through one inlet, it is also possible to arrange both the medicament inlet, the inspector, and the re-entry slot in one compartment.

That is, even when both the medication inlet, the inspector, and the re-entry port are disposed in the compartment space C1 and the opening member is disposed in the compartment space C2 so that the medication container device ADM is configured to have two compartment spaces, And the drawing operation is possible.

In this way, when the medicine dispensing apparatus ADM is provided with only two compartment spaces, the operation steps of the medicine dispensing opening, the inspection unit, the re-entry opening and the opening member will be described.

First, all of the medicines in one compartment (that is, the medicines in the prescription list) are put into the compartment space C1 through the medication inlet. Since the medicine may be different depending on the prescription, the medicine for one capsule may be composed of the medicine contained in the cassette, the medicine contained in the tray, or the medicine contained in the cassette and the tray. At this time, the medicine inlet port is connected to the hopper which connects the medicine dropping from the cassette and the medicine dropping from the tray to one compartment space.

When the filling of one compartment is completed in the compartment space C1, the inspecting section captures the compartment space C1. The control unit analyzes the image photographed by the examination unit, recognizes the inputted medicine, and determines whether the recognized medicine matches the medicine list described in the prescription.

At this time, when the introduced medicines are adjacent to or close to the interface of the compartment space C1, the medicament may be occluded at the interface. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the injected medicine from the interface. In addition, since the injected medicines may overlap each other in the compartment space C1, it is necessary not only to separate the injected medicines from the interface but also to superpose the medicines overlapping each other.

To this end, the medicament withdrawal device (ADM) according to the present invention may include an aligning part which separates the introduced medicines from the interface with a predetermined interval. As described above, since the inspecting unit photographs the injected medicine, the aligning unit is preferably disposed in the compartment space where the examining unit is disposed.

The alignment unit may be implemented as moving the bottom surface of the compartment space in which the inspection unit is disposed, or may be implemented as moving the partition member constituting the compartment space in which the inspection unit is disposed.

In the case of moving the bottom surface of the compartment space, vibration may be applied to the bottom surface to disperse the medicament. In this case, the vibration member that applies vibration to the bottom surface serves as the alignment unit.

In the case of moving the partitioning member constituting the partitioning space, the partitioning member can be realized by moving the partitioning member in a forward and backward direction with respect to the conveying direction of the partitioning space (for example, 10 mm in the forward and backward directions of the advancing direction). In this case, Which serves as an aligning portion.

The alignment member is configured to separate the medicine from the partition member by a predetermined distance to prevent the partition member from being included in the drug image, so that the alignment member may be formed of a transparent material and sandwiched by the partition member.

On the other hand, the control unit judges whether the drug injected into the compartment space C1 is completely missing, partially missing, overturned, misplaced, damaged, or broken, Check if the drug was not recognized.

At this time, the control unit controls the drug dispensing device (ADM) so as to perform operations corresponding to all omission of the medicine, partial omission of the medicine, overload of the medicine, misapplication of the medicine, The opening member is controlled so that the medicine is discharged.

Wherein the opening member comprises a first opening member for transporting the injected medicament toward the packaging apparatus and a second opening member for transporting the injected medicament toward the medicament disposal,

The control unit causes one of the medicines corresponding to the prescription drug list to be discharged through the first opening member.

For example, when the medicine injected into the compartment space C1 as a result of inspection is missing on the prescription basis, the control unit controls the dispenser so that the medicine in one compartment is put into the compartment space C1 again as a result of the inspection. In other words, the medicine falls from the cassette 3 and the tray 4 and is controlled to be put back into the compartment C1.

As another example, if the medication injected into the compartment space C1 as a result of inspection is partially missing on the prescription basis, the control unit controls the reintroduction port so that only the missing medication is injected into the compartment space C1. In other words, the missing medicine is supplied through the auxiliary tray or the external input port 221 and is controlled to be inputted into the compartment space C1.

Thereafter, the inspecting unit photographs the compartment space C1, and the controller analyzes the photographed image by the inspecting unit, recognizes the injected medicine, and judges again whether or not the recognized medicine coincides with the prescription standard.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the medicines injected into the compartment space C1 as a result of the inspection are over-dosed with the medicine on the prescription basis, the medicine is misplaced or the medicament is broken, the control unit controls the second opening member, Can be discarded.

The second opening member may be disposed on the lower side with respect to a plane on which the N compartment spaces are to be conveyed, in at least one of the N compartment spaces. When the medicine drawing device ADM is provided with only two compartment spaces, it is preferable to arrange them in the compartment space C1.

That is, in the case where the medicines put in the compartment space C1 as a result of inspection are over-dosed with the prescription base, mis-injected medicines, or the medicines are broken (in other words, The opening member is controlled to be opened so as to empty the compartment space C1. Thereafter, the control unit closes the second opening member and controls one compartment drug to be introduced into the compartment space C1 through the inlet.

When the medicines injected into the compartment space C1 match the prescription standard, the control unit drives the conveyance member 110 to transfer the medicines contained in the compartment space C1 to the compartment space C2, The member is opened and the tested medicine is transferred to the packaging apparatus.

As another embodiment, it is also possible that after inserting all of the drugs in one compartment into the compartment space C1, the inspecting unit does not perform the inspection by photographing the compartment space C1, but rather, a plurality of compartments It is possible to perform the inspection by photographing each of the divided spaces accommodated and distributed.

For example, assuming that one capsule of the drug (i. E., The drug described in the prescription) consists of the A drug and the B drug, the A drug can be accommodated in the compartment space C1 and the B drug can be accommodated in the compartment space C2 have. At this time, the inspection unit may photograph the compartment space C1 to perform inspection, and then photograph the compartment space C2 to perform inspection. Or the compartment space C1 and the compartment space C2 may be simultaneously photographed to perform the inspection.

 Since the medicament prepared in the tray 4 may contain an irregular medicament, the possibility of misapplication may be higher than the medicament prepared in the cassette 3. [ Therefore, it is possible to carry out inspections by inserting medicines prepared in the tray 4 into the compartment space C1 and inspecting the medicines prepared in the cassette 3 into the compartment space C2, If there is an error, it can be discarded individually. That is, only the medicine injected from the tray 4 may be selectively discarded, or only the medicine injected from the cassette 3 may be selectively discarded.

With this configuration, it is possible to prevent all of the medicine in one capsule from being discarded when a mistake is made.

The positions of the above-described medicament introduction port, inspecting section, re-entry opening and opening member are not limited to the case where the medicament withdrawing device ADM is composed of two mediating spaces, The present invention is also applicable to a case in which a plurality is provided.

In other words, the positions of the medication inlet, the examiner, the re-entry opening, and the opening member are not limited to the positions of the above-described compartment spaces but may be appropriately set within the range of the composition of the medicament group constituting the medicament for one capsule, Modifications are possible.

For example, the examining unit may be arranged in a compartment space into which the last medicament of the medicament group constituting the medicine of one capsule (that is, the medicines listed in the prescription) is introduced, And the re-entry port may be disposed in the partition space in which the inspection unit is disposed, or may be disposed in any one of the next partition spaces on the basis of the transport direction of the partition space.

On the other hand, the drug extraction device ADM may further include a display unit 500 for displaying the inspection details. At this time, the inspection details may include details of inconsistencies of the tested medicines on the prescription basis.
