Therefore, before counting the tablets, the RFID reader/writer 23 is used to determine whether there is a tablet box 11 on the mounting part 12 immediately above the mounting part 12 where the counting box 40 is mounted. If there is no tablet box 11 , reminding the user to install the tablet box 11 or jump out of the preventive cover 58 . An RFID tag may be provided on the pop-out prevention cover 58, and the RFID tag may be detected by the RFID reader/writer 23. After it is determined that the pop-out prevention cover 58 is installed, the tablet counting mode will be described later. The pop-out prevention cover 58 has a base portion 58 a that can be attached to the mounting portion 12 like the tablet cassette 11 , and a sealing portion 58 b that seals the tablet discharge passage 24 . By mounting the tablet box 11 or the pop-out prevention cover 58 on the mounting portion 12 immediately above the mounting portion 12 in which the counting box 40 is mounted, it is possible to prevent tablets that have bounced back from the tablet receiving portion 49 from passing through the upper tablet discharge port 31 Jump out.

Next, the inventory processing and operation of the medicine dispensing device 1 will be described.

<Counting processing> In the medicine dispensing device 1 of this embodiment, the counting can be performed using the counting box 40 without transferring the tablets in the tablet box 11 to the tablet counter.

First, the operator opens the door on the front of the medicine dispensing device 1 and manually rotates the drum 20, so that the medicine rack in the row containing the tablet box containing the tablets to be counted is moved to the front, and is installed at the bottom of the row. The tablet box 11 on the mounting part 12 is removed, replaced with the tablet box 11, and the counting box 40 is inserted into the mounting part 12. At this time, the tablet receiving portion 49 of the counting box 40 presses the movable plate 37 from the counting box insertion opening 34 of the drum 20 and enters the tablet dropping path 32 . Thereby, the tablet discharge path 24 from the tablet outlet 18 of each tablet box 11 to the mounting part 12, the tablet discharge port 31, the tablet drop path 32, the tablet receiving part 49 of the counting box 40, and the tablet drop path 32 are formed. The guide portion 48 and the tablet receiving path 60B inside the counting box 40 allow the counting box 40 to receive tablets in each tablet box 11 . Furthermore, the tablet cassette 11 mounted on the mounting part 12 immediately above the mounting part 12 in which the counting box 40 is mounted is removed, and the pop-out prevention cover 58 is mounted instead.

When the control unit 101 of the control unit 10 determines that the counting cartridge 40 is inserted based on the signal from the counting cartridge detection sensor 38 of the drum 20 in step 101 shown in FIG. 14 , in step 102, the display unit 103 is The screen shifts to the count mode screen 110 shown in (a) of FIG. 18 .

As shown in (a) of FIG. 18 , the counting mode screen 110 is provided with: a message display part 111 ; a box display part 112 that displays the shelf number and the drug name of the tablet in the column in which the counting box 40 is inserted; the drug shelf The switching button 113 is composed of "←" and "→" to change the column of the displayed tablet box; the count-end medicine shelf number display part 114 displays the medicine shelf number where the counting has been completed; the "start" button 115; " End" button 116; and "Return" button 117. The shelf number of the tablet box 11 installed in the row in which the counting box 40 is installed and the drug name of the tablet are initially displayed on the box display part 112 . The medicine rack in which the tablet box 11 is not installed becomes a blank column.

The operator selects the tablets that he wants to count for inventory from the tablets displayed on the cassette display unit 112 . The control unit 101 determines whether a tablet is selected in step 103. When a tablet is selected, in step 104, the code number of the counting box 40 is compared with the number of the counted medicines stored in the tablet box 11 of the counting target. The identification information is associated and written into the RFID tag 47 of the counting box 40, and in step 105, the code number of the counting box 40 is associated with the identification information of the medicine type of the inventory medicine (or the identification information of the box containing the target medicine). and stored in the storage unit 102. In addition, in step 106, as shown in FIG. 18(b), the control unit 101 highlights the selected medicine shelf number and medicine in the counting mode screen 110, and activates the "Start" button 115.

In step 107, the control unit 101 determines whether the "start" button 115 has been pressed. If the "start" button 115 is pressed, in step 108, the control unit 101 performs tablet dispensing processing.

As shown in FIG. 15 , in the tablet dispensing process, in step 201 , the drive motor 22 in which the mounting portion 12 of the tablet cassette 11 to be counted is mounted is driven, and in step 202 , the tablet to be counted is ejected from the The tablet outlet 18 of the cassette 11 discharges tablets, and the tablets discharged from the tablet outlet 18 are detected based on the signal from the tablet detection sensor 25 . In step 203 , the number of tablets is stored in the storage unit 102 . Next, in step 204, when it is determined based on the signal from the tablet detection sensor 25 that the discharge of tablets is completed, in step 205, the drive of the mounting part 12 in which the tablet cassette 11 to be counted is mounted is stopped. Motor 22. Whether the tablet discharge is completed can be judged by the following methods: (1) when the tablet detection sensor 25 is not turned on, the rotating body 16 or the driving motor 22 rotates for a certain period of time, or (2) the tablet When the detection sensor 25 is not turned on, the rotating body 16 or the driving motor 22 rotates at a certain angle.

In the tablet dispensing process, as shown in (a) of FIG. 23 , the message "counting" is displayed on the message display unit 111 on the counting mode screen 110 . In addition, when the tablet dispensing process is completed, as shown in (b) of FIG. 23 , a message "counting completed" is displayed on the message display unit 111 . In addition, when the counting box 40 is pulled out before the tablet dispensing process, as shown in (a) of FIG. 24 , a message "the counting box is not inserted" is displayed on the message display unit 111 .

When the tablet dispensing process is completed, in order to return the tablets distributed in the counting box 40 to the tablet box 11 , the operator detaches the counting box 40 and places it on the tablet filling table 8 .

Here, as shown in FIG. 14 , the control unit 101 performs the tablet return process of step 109 . As shown in FIG. 16 , during the tablet return process, in step 301 , when the RFID reader/writer 39 of the tablet filling station 8 reads the RFID tag 47 of the counting box 40 , in step 302 , the process is transferred to FIG. 20 Return to fill screen 120 as shown. Here, the tablet box 11 to be counted can also be read in, or the "return" button 117 of the tablet counting mode screen 110 can be used to transfer to the return filling screen.

As shown in FIG. 20(a) , the return filling screen 120 displays an "operator" display part 121, a "drug name 1 (box)" display part 122, a "drug name 2 (count box)" display part 123, “Number of slices” display part 124, “Return to execution” button 125, and “Return” button 126.

As shown in FIG. 16 , in step 303 , the control unit 101 causes the RFID reader/writer 39 to read the RFID tag 47 of the counting box 40 placed on the tablet filling table 8 , and associates it with the code number of the counting box 40 . The drug type identification information, the drug name of the counting box 40 is displayed on the "drug name 2 (counting box)" display part 123, and the number of tablets counted through the tablet dispensing process is displayed on the "number of tablets" display part 124.

Next, the control unit 101 determines whether the operator is selected in step 304. If the operator is selected, the selected operator is displayed on the "operator" display unit 121 in step 305. In the first counting process, the "operator" display part 121 is a blank column, and the operator can be selected from the list of operators. In the second and subsequent counting processes, the operator selected last time is automatically input, so there is no need to select an operator.

Here, the operator takes out the dispensing-processed tablet box 11 from the mounting part 12 and places it on the tablet filling table 8 . In step 306, the control unit 101 causes the RFID reader/writer 39 to read the RFID tag 19 of the tablet box 11 placed on the tablet filling table 8, and determines whether the tablet box 11 to be counted is placed on the tablet filling table 8. On the medicine filling station 8, in step 307, the medicine type identification information of the RFID tag 19 of the tablet box 11 as the inventory target is read, and the tablet box 11 is displayed on the "drug name 1 (box)" display part 122 The name of the drug.

Next, in step 308, the control unit 101 compares whether the drug type identification information of the tablet box 11 as the inventory target and the drug type identification information associated with the code number of the counting box 40 are consistent. If the two are consistent, then in step 311, the comparison OK is displayed in the return filling screen 120, and in step 312, the "return to execution" button 125 is activated. If the two are inconsistent, in step 309, the comparison NG is displayed in the return filling screen 120, and the comparison processing of steps 306 to 308 is repeated until the correct tablet box 11 is placed.

If the comparison becomes OK, the control unit 101 activates the "return to execution" button 125 in step 312 . The operator transfers the tablets in the counting box 40 to the tablet box 11 and presses the "return to execution" button 125 . When the control unit 101 determines that the "return to execution" button 125 has been pressed in step 313, it ends the return process.

When the return processing is completed, the control unit 101 shifts to the tablet counting mode screen 110 shown in FIG. 19(a). As shown in FIG. The drug shelf number and drug name of the returned drug are deactivated, and in step 111, the counting-end drug shelf number is displayed on the counting-end drug shelf number display unit. The operator confirms that the drug shelf number, drug name, and counting end drug shelf number that have become inactive are displayed in gray, and presses the "End" button 116 . When the control unit 101 determines in step 112 that the "end" button 116 has been pressed, in step 113, after disassociating the code number of the counting box 40 stored in the storage unit 102 with the drug type identification information of the inventory medicine, In step 114, the inventory amount stored in the storage unit 102 is updated to the counted number of tablets. In step 115, if there is no next medicine to be counted, the counting mode is terminated. In addition, if there is the next medicine to be counted in step 115, the process returns to step 103 and the same process is repeated.

The shelf number and drug name of the drug are inactive and only last for a preset duration. When the inventory business is carried out across days, it is better to be able to set a duration for each drug at the end of the counting process. For example, since psychiatric drugs, highly toxic drugs, hard drugs, etc. are inventoried every day, they are deactivated every day, but other drugs remain inactive for a week.

<Count clear processing> There may be a case where a new medicine displayed on the box display unit 112 of the counting mode screen 110 is selected while the counting mode is not completed. This is a case where the tablets distributed to the counting box 40 are not returned, but a drug is mistakenly selected to be counted for the next tablet. At this time, if a new medicine is dispensed, there is a risk that new tablets will be mixed with the remaining tablets in the counting box 40 . Therefore, in this case, the control unit 101 performs count clearing processing.

Figure 17 shows the count clearing process. In step 401, the control unit 101 causes the count mode screen 110 to pop-up display the count clear confirmation screen 130 shown in (a) of FIG. 21 . The count clearing confirmation screen 130 displays "The counting box contains drug information before the return operation. Do you want to delete the drug information?", a "Yes" button 131, and a "No" button 132.

When the control unit 101 determines in step 402 that "YES" is selected for drug information deletion, in step 403, the deletion method selection screen 140 shown in FIG. 21(b) pops up on the counting mode screen 110. The deletion method selection screen 140 displays "Please confirm that there is no medicine in the counting box and select a method of taking out the medicine", a "Return" button 141, and a "Discard" button 142.

When the deletion method is "return" in step 404, the control unit 101 adds the number of pieces remaining in the counting box 40 to the inventory in step 405, and then proceeds to step 406. In step 405, when the tablets in the medicine bottle are put into the tablet box and counted in order to perform inventory management of the tablets in the medicine bottle stored in a different place from the medicine dispensing device 1, the remaining tablets are counted. The number of tablets in the counting box 40 is added to the inventory. For example, assume that the current inventory is 400 pieces, and the details are 200 pieces in pill bottles and 200 pieces in tablet boxes, but the result of counting in counting mode is that there are 100 pieces in tablet boxes. In this case, the inventory of the tablet box is updated from 200 to 100, and after adding this to the 200 in the medicine bottle, the inventory is updated to 300. When performing inventory management on only the tablets stored in the tablet cassette of the medicine dispensing device 1 , in step 405 , the inventory amount is updated to the number of tablets remaining in the counting box 40 . For example, if the current inventory is 200 pieces, but the number of pieces counted in the counting mode is 100 pieces, the inventory is updated to 100 pieces.

In addition, when the deletion method is "discard" in step 404, in step 405, the number of pieces remaining in the counting box 40 is not reflected in the inventory amount, and the process proceeds to step 406. In this way, when counting tablets in medicine bottles managed separately from the medicine dispensing device 1 , by setting the deletion method to “discard”, it is possible to prevent the count from being reflected in the inventory. For example, assume that the current inventory is 400 pieces, and the details are 200 pieces in pill bottles and 200 pieces in tablet boxes, but the result of counting in counting mode is that there are 100 pieces in tablet boxes. In this case, since disposal is performed, the inventory of tablet boxes is updated from 200 to zero, and the inventory is updated to 200 of the remaining pill bottles. In addition, when performing inventory management on only the tablets stored in the tablet box of the medicine dispensing device 1, when the inventory is large, the tablets remaining in the counting box can be discarded without reflecting the inventory. and updates the inventory to zero.

In step 406, the control unit 101 activates the "operator" display unit 151, the "OK" button 152, and the "Return" button 153 on the counting mode screen 110 shown in FIG. 22 . In step 407, if the "OK" button 152 is pressed, the control unit 101 deletes the medicine information of the counting box 40 and returns to the counting mode screen 110. If the "Return" button 153 is pressed, the medicine information of the counting box 40 is not deleted. drug information and returns to the counting mode screen 110.

As described above, when the counting of medicines in one tablet box 11 is completed, the medicines in the tablet boxes 11 of another medicine rack can be selected through the box display part 111 and the counting process can be performed similarly. In addition, the medicine rack switching button 113 can be used to display the medicine rack numbers and drug names in other columns, select medicines in the tablet boxes in other columns, and perform counting processing in the same manner. In this case, it is preferable to rotate the drum 20 so that the medicine rack in which the row of the selected tablet boxes 11 is mounted reaches the front.

＜Modification＞

In the above embodiment, one counting box 40 is installed in one row, and the tablets in the tablet boxes 11 of the medicine rack in that row are received through the counting box 40 and counted. However, the counting box 40 may also be used in each of multiple rows. The other counting boxes 40 receive tablets from the tablet boxes 11 of other rows of medicine racks, and simultaneously perform counting processing of the tablet boxes 11 in multiple rows in parallel.

In the above embodiment, the operator who performed the counting process, the medicine, and the processing date and time may be recorded, and a list thereof may be displayed on a second display unit (not shown) (a display unit of a personal computer provided on the tablet filling station 8 ), or printed, so that it can be confirmed when and by whom the counting process was performed on which drug.

As shown in Fig. 25, in a tablet dispensing device having tablet boxes 11 on the outer roller 20a and the inner roller 20b, the tablet box of the inner roller 20b can also be installed on the mounting portion of the outer roller 20a. The counting box 40 of the mounting part 12 of the outer drum 20a performs counting processing. In this case, it is preferable to display the tablet cassette 11 of the medicine rack of the inner drum 20b on the cassette display part 112, and to display a reminder to install the tablet cassette 11 of the inner drum 20b on the designated mounting part 12 of the outer drum 20a. .

There may be cases where tablets remain in the tablet cassette 11 after the counting process has been completed. In this case, it is simple to manually take out the remaining tablets from the tablet cassette 11 and put them into the counting box 40 . Therefore, in the counting mode screen 110, the number of counted tablets and the number of remaining tablets may be added.

It is also possible to provide an LED display unit on the mounting portion 12 of the tablet box 11. During the counting process, the LED of the mounting portion 12 of the tablet box 11 is illuminated, and the LED is flashed when the counting process is completed. When the return is completed, the LED is displayed. Different colors of LED light up during processing.

In the above embodiment, the tablet filling station 8 compares the tablet information associated with the counting box 40 with the tablet information of the tablet box 11 . However, the tablet filling station 8 may instead perform the comparison. The counted tablet box 11 is removed from the tablet filling station 8, and the tablets in the counting box 40 are returned and installed on the same tablet filling station 8, and the tablet information and tablets associated with the counting box 40 are released. Correlate the tablet information of box 11 and update the inventory to the counted number of tablets.

For tablets with a small inventory, it is preferable that the number of additional fillings can be added to the number of counted tablets after the counting process. In this case, it is preferable to use the barcode reader 9 to read the tablet information of the medicine bottle of the tablet added to the counting box 40 and compare it with the medicine information associated with the counting box 40 . In addition, if the inventory amount is less than the preset inventory amount, it is determined that the inventory amount is low, and an alarm is issued. At this time, the operator can also put tablets from the medicine bottle into the tablet box for additional filling, distribute them to the counting box, and update the inventory with the additional filling number added.

Log printing can also be performed on a list of the shelf number, drug name, and number of tablets counted after counting the drugs.

In the counting mode, in order to shorten the counting processing time, the drive motor 22 mounted on the mounting portion 12 of the tablet box 11 to be counted is preferably driven at a faster speed than when normal tablet dispensing is performed.

Preferably, when the counting box 40 is installed and the counting processing mode is entered, the lock of the drum 20 is unlocked and the unlocking is notified with a sound. Thereby, the operator can rotate the drum 20 manually, thereby improving the efficiency of multi-row inventory counting operations.
