The top surface side of the handle part main body 32 is open, and a plurality of hand handle units 34 are accommodated in a state where they are arranged in the vertical direction (the pulling direction of the hand handle part main body 32) and in the horizontal direction. In other words, the handbag unit body 32 has a plurality of handbag units 34 arranged in a plane.

In addition, the handle part main body 32 can be detached from the apparatus main body 12. Therefore, by setting the hand bag main body 32 to be in a state of being pulled out or removed from the apparatus main body 12, the hand wrinkle unit 34 is exposed to the outside of the apparatus main body 12 so that the medicine can be put in. it can. Further, as shown in FIG. 4 and the like, in the handbag unit 30, a handbag unit group 48 is configured by a plurality of handrail units 34. As shown in FIG. 3, the handrail unit 30 can be pulled out from the apparatus main body 12 for each handrail unit group 48. Specifically, the handle portion main body 32 formed in a drawer shape is divided for each handle unit group 48, and each can be pulled out individually. In this way, the hand bag unit 30 can cause all the hand unit 34 to appear simultaneously from the inside to the outside of the apparatus main body 12 by pulling out the hand bag main body 32. In addition to this, even a unit of a hand unit unit 48 including a plurality of hand unit 34 constituting a part of the hand unit main body 32 can be made to appear from the inside to the outside of the apparatus main body 12 at the same time. When the handbag unit 34 is operated under the control of the control unit 100, it is possible to dispense one tablet at a time, based on the prescription, of the medicine that has been swallowed by the manual operation of a pharmacist or the like.

The handle unit 34 may be anything as long as it can perform a payout operation according to the drug type, and may be as shown in FIG. 6, for example. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the hand bag unit 34 includes a cylindrical body 117, a first rotating body 123, a second rotating body 135, a height regulating body 141, a width regulating body 152, and a medicine guide section. 165, a tilt variable mechanism 175, and the like. The medicine guide 165 includes an inner guide 166 and an outer guide 157. In the present embodiment, the width restricting body 152 and the outer guide 157 of the medicine guide 165 are configured by one resin molded product.

As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8, the cylindrical body 117 is a substantially cylindrical member. The cylindrical body 117 has a partition wall 118 that covers the outer periphery of the first rotating body 123 and an outer wall 120 that covers the outer periphery of the second rotating body 135. These are respectively fixed up and down with respect to the upper surface plate of the outer case of the hand unit 34. The partition wall 118 extends from the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 to the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating body 123, and has a substantially cylindrical shape that partitions the space therebetween. A notch 119 for preventing interference of the rotating bracket 130 that fixes the first drive motor 128 of the first rotating body 123 is provided at a part below the outer peripheral portion of the partition wall 118. The outer wall 120 has a cylindrical shape that prevents the medicine on the second rotating body 135 from dropping off. The outer wall 120 has a first notch 121 at a part above the outer peripheral part and a second notch 122 at a part below the outer peripheral part. The first notch 121 is for exposing the second rotating body 135 and for arranging the width restricting body 152 and the medicine guiding portion 165. The 2nd notch part 122 is for exposing the gear member 138 of the 2nd rotary body 135 from a side. The cylindrical body 117 may be provided with the partition wall 118 and the outer wall 120 integrally.

The first rotating body 123 has a disk shape and is arranged so as to close the bottom of the partition wall 118. Thereby, an accommodation space 172 partitioned by the first rotating body 123 and the partition wall 118 is formed. This accommodation space is for accommodating the swallowed medicine. Further, the first rotating body 123 is disposed in an inclined manner in the partition wall 118. That is, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the rotating shaft (first rotating shaft 124) of the first rotating body 123 is disposed so as to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the vertical direction. On the upper surface of the first rotator 123, convex ridges 125 are provided radially. The ridge 125 serves as a resistance (rolling suppression) for moving the medicine. On the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating body 123, a slope portion 126 that is inclined downward toward the radially outer side is provided. The slope 126 is disposed at a predetermined inclination angle such that the inner peripheral edge, which is the upper end, is located above the second rotator 135, and the outer peripheral edge, which is the lower end, is located below the inner peripheral edge.

A gear 127 is connected to the lower end of the first rotating shaft 124. The gear 127 meshes with a gear 129 connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 128 (first drive means). Therefore, by operating the first drive motor 128, the first rotating body 123 can be rotated about the first rotating shaft 124.

Also, the first rotating body 123 can change the tilt by operating the tilt varying mechanism 175. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the tilt varying mechanism 175 includes a rotation bracket 130, a gear piece 132 provided on the rotation bracket 130, an angle adjustment motor 133, and a gear 134. The rotating bracket 130 is configured by a substantially fan-shaped plate that is erected on the lower side of the first rotating body 123. The first rotating shaft 124 and the first drive motor 128 described above are each attached to the rotating bracket 130. Further, an arcuate gear piece 132 is provided on the side surface of the rotating bracket 130. The gear piece 132 is engaged with the gear 134 of the angle adjustment motor 133. Therefore, the rotation bracket 130 can be rotated by driving the angle adjustment motor 133. Further, when the rotation bracket 130 is rotated, the first rotating body 123 is rotated together with the first drive motor 128. Therefore, the inclination of the first rotating body 123 can be adjusted by driving the angle adjustment motor 133. The inclination of the first rotating body 123 is adjusted with the upper end portion of the first rotating body 123 as a fulcrum.

The second rotating body 135 is an annular member, and is rotatably disposed at the upper end of the partition wall 118 so as to be positioned above the first rotating body 123. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the second rotating body 135 is disposed substantially horizontally and is rotatable about a substantially vertical second rotating shaft (not shown) as a rotating shaft. Therefore, the rotation axis (second rotation axis) of the second rotator 135 intersects with a direction different from the rotation axis (first rotation axis 124) of the first rotator 123 (the direction that is not parallel and not the same). Extend. The angle formed by the rotation axes of the first rotating body 123 and the second rotating body 135 can be relatively changed by driving the angle adjusting motor 133 described above.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11 and the like, when viewed from the axial direction (above) of the second rotating shaft, the second rotating body 135 is arranged so as to surround the outside of the first rotating body 123 in an annular shape, The first rotating body 123 is arranged in a region formed inside the inner peripheral portion 136 of the two-rotating body 135. Further, considering the relationship between the height of the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 and the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating body 123, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the inner peripheral portion of the second rotating body 135 is shown. With respect to 136, the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating body 123 is lowered, and a step with a predetermined height is formed between them. Moreover, since the 1st rotary body 123 inclines, the magnitude | size of the level | step difference formed between the 1st rotary body 123 and the 2nd rotary body 135 changes with parts. Specifically, the step between the first rotator 123 and the second rotator 135 is the largest on the left side in the figure (the part where the first rotator 123 is positioned at the lowest position in the vertical direction) and on the right side in the figure (first It is the smallest in the portion where the rotating body 123 is located at the uppermost position in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the first rotator 123 is rotated, the medicine swallowed into the accommodation space 172 defined by the first rotator 123 and the partition wall 118 is the first rotator at the portion where the above-described step is the smallest. It is moved (transferred) from the 123 side to the second rotating body 135 side. That is, the portion where the step formed between the first rotator 123 and the second rotator 135 is the smallest is the portion where the medicine transfers from the first rotator 123 side to the second rotator 135 side (moving unit 137). )

In the present embodiment, in the moving unit 137, a gap is provided between the inner periphery 136 of the second rotator 135 and the outer periphery of the first rotator 123 so that the drug does not drop out, and the height is substantially the same. It is configured to be located. The height setting of the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 and the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating body 123 in the moving unit 137 allows the medicine to transfer from the first rotating body 123 to the second rotating body 135. If so, the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 may be positioned above the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating body 123 or may be positioned below.

As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 8, an annular gear member 138 is fixed to the lower surface of the second rotating body 135, and is rotatable about the second rotation axis. A gear 140 of a second drive motor 139 (second drive means) meshes with the gear member 138 through the second notch 122 of the outer wall 120.

The height regulating body 141 regulates the height of the medicine discharged from the manual operation unit 34. The height restricting body 141 is arranged on the downstream side in the rotation (drug transfer) direction with respect to the moving part 137 of the second rotating body 135. The height restricting body 141 includes a height restricting member 142, a construction member 144, and an operation receiving member 145. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the height regulating member 142 is disposed above the second rotating body 135. The height regulating member 142 extends from the outer peripheral portion of the second rotating body 135 to the inner peripheral portion 136. The height regulating member 142 is provided with a guide surface 143 that is inclined at a predetermined angle along the medicine transfer direction. The erection member 144 is a member connected to the height restricting member 142 and is arranged so that the height restricting member 142 reaches the second rotating body 135 across the width restricting body 152 ( (See FIG. 7, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12). The operation receiving member 145 is connected to the installation member 144 and receives power for moving the height regulating member 142 up and down via the installation member 144. The operation receiving member 145 is provided with a screw hole 146 for receiving power in a vertical direction (see FIGS. 6 and 8).

As shown in FIG. 8 and the like, a screw member 147 is passed through the screw hole 146 of the height regulating body 141. The screw member 147 is supported by a bracket (not shown) so that it can rotate and cannot move along the axial direction. A gear 148 is connected to the lower end of the screw member 147. A gear 150 of a height adjusting motor 149 (height adjusting means) is engaged with the gear 148. Therefore, by driving the height adjusting motor 149 and rotating the screw member 147, the distance between the height regulating body 141 and the upper surface of the second rotating body 135 can be adjusted. By performing drive control of the height adjustment motor 149 under the control of the control unit 100 which will be described later, the distance between the upper surfaces of the height regulating body 141 and the second rotating body 135 and the height of the medicine handled by the handrail unit 34 Can be adjusted to be substantially the same. Further, a medicine detection sensor 151 (medicine detection means) that detects the medicine that has passed through the lower part of the height regulation body 141 is disposed on the downstream side of the height regulation body 141.

The width regulating body 152 is for regulating the transfer width of the medicine by the second rotating body 135. The width restricting body 152 is installed on the second rotating body 135 at a position further downstream from the height restricting body 141 in the medicine transfer direction. As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and the like, the width restricting body 152 includes a rectangular portion 153. The rectangular portion 153 extends in the tangential direction with respect to the outer peripheral portion of the second rotating body 135. Here, as described above, the erection member 144 of the height regulating body 141 is disposed so as to straddle the rectangular portion 153. As a result, the rectangular portion 153 can be linearly moved in the tangential direction of the second rotating body 135 without interfering with the installation member 144.

Further, the width restricting body 152 is provided with a width restricting portion 154. The width restricting portion 154 is formed so as to be continuous with the rectangular portion 153 on the downstream side in the medicine transfer direction. The width restricting portion 154 includes a first curved surface portion 155 and a second curved surface portion 156. The first curved surface portion 155 is configured by a curved surface having a diameter larger than the diameter of the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135. An interval between the first curved surface portion 155 and the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135, that is, a medicine transfer width is narrow in a part in the circumferential direction. Here, the transfer width means the width of a region through which the medicine formed between the inner peripheral portion 136 and the first curved surface portion 155 of the second rotating body 135 can pass.

Further, the width regulating portion 154 includes a second curved surface portion 156 that is connected to the downstream side of the first curved surface portion 155 in the medicine transfer direction. At the position where the second curved surface portion 156 is provided, the transfer width of the medicine gradually increases. In the width restricting body 152, the outer side guide 157 constituting the medicine guiding part 165 is continued downstream of the width restricting part 154 in the medicine transport direction. The outer guide 157 is configured to extend in a tangential direction with respect to the second curved surface portion 156 and to extend in a direction orthogonal to the rectangular portion 153. *

As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, a connecting member 158 is connected to the width restricting portion 154 of the width restricting body 152 so as to extend in parallel to the rectangular portion 153. An operation receiving member 159 is connected to the connecting member 158 similarly to the height restricting body 141. A screw member 161 is passed through the screw hole 160 of the operation receiving member 159. The screw member 161 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to a bracket (not shown) and not movable along the axial direction. A gear 162 is connected to the outer end of the screw member 161. Further, the gear 162 is engaged with the gear 164 of the width adjusting motor 163. The width adjusting motor 163 functions as a width adjusting means for adjusting the transfer width of the medicine by moving the width restricting body 152 in the horizontal direction. Specifically, when the width regulating body 152 is moved outward with respect to the second rotating body 135 by driving the width adjusting motor 163, the width regulating portion 154 and the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 And the distance between the outer guide 157 and the inner guide 166 described later can be increased. Conversely, when the width restricting body 152 is moved inward with respect to the second rotating body 135, the transfer width of the second rotating body 135 and the interval between the

guides

157 and 166 are reduced.

In the present embodiment, the first width is set so that the width between the outer guide 157 and the inner guide 166 is about twice (2 W) the transfer width W between the inner periphery 136 of the second rotating body 135. The diameter (curvature radius) of the curved surface portion 155 is set. In the present embodiment, the transfer width W is configured to be ½ of the drug width to be transferred. Note that, in a medicine having an elliptical shape in plan view or an ellipse in plan view, the medicine width means a short direction. Further, the transfer width W is not limited to ½ of the drug width, and is preferably not less than ½ of the drug width and not more than the drug width.

The medicine guide 165 guides the medicine that has passed through the width restricting portion 154 of the width restricting body 152 to a medicine discharge port (not shown). As shown in FIGS. 6, 11, and 12, the medicine guide unit 165 is disposed on the second rotating body 135 so as to be positioned downstream of the width regulating unit 154 of the width regulating body 152 in the medicine transport direction. ing. The inner guide 166 constituting the medicine guide portion 165 is positioned parallel to the inner side in the radial direction of the second rotating body 135 with respect to the outer guide 157 and is tangential to the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135. It is arranged to extend. The inner guide 166 extends to the medicine discharge port, and a fixing bracket portion 167 is provided. The distance between the

guides

157 and 166 constituting the medicine guide 165 is adjusted to substantially the same distance as the medicine width by driving the width adjustment motor 163. Further, the inner guide 166 has an inclined edge inclined upward at a predetermined angle at an inner end located at the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 on the step between the first rotating body 123 and the second rotating body 135. 168 is provided. Further, the inner surface side of the inclined edge 168 is an inclined surface 169 that is inclined downward.

Next, the medicine transfer operation, which is one of the medicines by the handbrush unit 34, will be specifically described by taking the case of the disk-shaped tablet X as an example. The transfer operation of the disk-shaped tablet X is the same even for a spherical medicine.

As shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, when the first rotating body 123 is rotated, the tablet X rotates on the upper surface and moves radially outward by centrifugal force. And the tablet X on the 1st rotary body 123 transfers on the 2nd rotary body 135 by the moving part 137 located in the substantially same height as the 2nd rotary body 135. FIG.

The tablet X that has been transferred to the second rotating body 135 is moved to the medicine guide unit 165 side, and the movement to the downstream side is restricted by the height restricting body 141. For example, the tablet X moving in a stacked state is dropped on the second rotating body 135 when the tablet X positioned on the upper side comes into contact with the guide surface 143 of the height regulating body 141. It is dropped onto the first rotating body 123 from the peripheral portion 136.

The tablet X that has passed through the height restricting body 141 is moved toward the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 by coming into contact with the first curved surface portion 155 of the width restricting body 152 that restricts the transfer width. Since the transfer width by the second rotating body 135 is ½ of the drug width by the first curved surface portion 155 of the width regulating body 152, the width regulating body 152 has a downstream side of the width regulating body 152. Only the tablet X in contact can pass. That is, when the tablets X are transported in two rows in the radial direction, the inner tablets X are pressed by the outer tablets X that are in contact with the width restricting body 152, and from the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135. It is dropped onto the first rotating body 123. Even if the tablets X are not aligned in the radial direction, the tablet X whose center of gravity is located on the inner side of the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 also falls from the inner peripheral portion 136 onto the first rotating body 123. Therefore, the other tablets X not in contact with the width restricting body 152 are not transferred downstream.

The tablet X that has passed through the first curved surface portion 155 of the width regulating body 152 is transported in a stable state through the region of the second curved surface portion 156 having a wider transport width. And it moves between the inner side guide 166 and the outer side guide 157 of the chemical | medical agent guide part 165, moves to the exit side in the state aligned one by one, and is discharged. At this time, the tablet X1 that protrudes inward from the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 is guided between the inner guide 166 and the outer guide 157 by contacting the end of the inner guide 166. Dropped from the portion 136 onto the first rotating body 123. And only the tablet X which passed this chemical | medical agent guide part 165 is supplied to a chemical | medical agent discharge port.

Next, the drug transfer operation of the capsule Y having a different shape and size from the disk-shaped tablet X will be specifically described. The capsule Y transfer operation is the same even for non-circular tablets such as an elliptical shape.

As shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B, when the first rotating body 123 is rotated, the capsule Y rotates on the upper surface and moves radially outward by centrifugal force. Then, the capsule Y on the first rotating body 123 is transferred onto the second rotating body 135 by the moving unit 137 positioned at the same height as the second rotating body 135.

The capsule Y that has been transferred to the second rotating body 135 is moved to the medicine guide 165 side, the movement to the downstream side is restricted by the height restricting body 141, and the capsule Y is moving in a stacked state. Y is dropped onto the second rotating body 135 or dropped from the inner peripheral portion 136 onto the first rotating body 123.

The capsule Y that has passed through the height regulating body 141 is moved toward the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135 by abutting against the first curved surface portion 155 of the width regulating body 152 that regulates the transfer width. The directionality (posture) in the longitudinal direction is corrected so as to extend along the medicine conveyance direction. Then, only the capsule Y that is in contact with the width restricting body 152 passes to the downstream side of the width restricting body 152, and the capsule Y that is not in contact with the width restricting body 152 passes through the inner peripheral portion 136 of the second rotating body 135. It is dropped onto the first rotating body 123. In addition, since the capsule Y1 whose posture could not be corrected by the contact with the first curved surface portion 155 has a transfer width by the second rotating body 135 of about ½ of the capsule Y1, the center of gravity is the second. The balance cannot be maintained by being positioned on the inner side of the inner peripheral part 136 of the rotating body 135, and it is dropped from the inner peripheral part 136 of the second rotating body 135 onto the first rotating body 123.

The capsule Y that has passed through the first curved surface portion 155 of the width restricting body 152 is transported in a stable state through the region of the second curved surface portion 156 having a wider transport width. And it moves between the inner side guide 166 and the outer side guide 157 of the chemical | medical agent guide part 165, moves to the exit side in the state aligned one by one, and is discharged. At this time, the capsule Y2 that could not be completely corrected in posture is brought into contact with the end of the inner guide 166 to be corrected between the posture and guided to the outer guide 157, or from the inner peripheral portion 136. It is dropped on the first rotating body 123. Then, only the capsule Y that has passed through the medicine guide 165 is supplied to the medicine outlet.

As shown in FIG. 5 and the like, the above-described hand-claw unit 34 has an open area that functions as a drug hand-cage 170 on the top surface side. The hand guard unit 34 is provided with a hand guard opening / closing device 42 (hand guard opening / closing member) for opening and closing the hand guard 170. The hand port opening / closing device 42 is controlled to be opened / closed under the control of the control unit 100.

As described above, the handrail unit 30 is provided with a plurality of handrail units 34 as described above arranged vertically and horizontally. Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the hand guard unit 30 is provided with a hand guard display part 36 and a hand guard suggesting part 38 for each hand arm unit 34. The hand bag display unit 36 displays information related to the medicine to be put into the hand bag unit 34. The hand display unit 36 can be constituted by, for example, electronic paper, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like.

Specifically, the control unit 100 displays information such as the type and quantity of the medicine to be loaded on each preparation container 54 opened in step 10-4 by the preparation display unit 56. In addition, a method of inputting a medicine to be prepared by the user by using the operation unit 14 provided on the front surface of the apparatus main body 12 or causing the barcode reader 16 to read the barcode attached to the original box of the medicine. When it is specified by a method such as the above, the preparation suggesting unit 58 corresponding to the preparation container 54 where the medicine is to be prepared is turned on. As a result, the user can intuitively grasp which preparation part 54 should be charged with medicine. Thereafter, the control flow proceeds to Step 10-6.

(Step 10-6)
In step 10-6, the control unit 100 checks whether or not the preparation container group 68 pulled out from the apparatus main body 12 in step 10-3 has been returned into the apparatus main body 12. When the preparation container group 68 is returned to the apparatus main body 12, the control flow proceeds to Step 10-7.

(Step 10-7)
In step 10-7, the control unit 100 determines whether or not the hand manipulator unit 34 corresponding to the preparation container 54 that has prepared the medicine is in a state in which the medicine can be introduced. In the present embodiment, the control unit 100 satisfies the following two conditions (1) and (2) in addition to the preparation container group 68 (preparation container 54) being returned to the apparatus main body 12 as described above. Whether or not the medicine can be put in is determined based on whether or not the drug is being used.
(1) The drug does not remain in the hand-manipulation unit 34 that is the target of the drug.
(2) The withdrawal operation for collection (step 9) has been completed for the manual handling unit 34 that is the target of the medicine.

When the two conditions (1) and (2) described above are not yet satisfied, there is a possibility that different kinds of medicines may be mixed when the medicine is poured into the handbag unit 34 from the preparation container 54. . Therefore, until the above conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, it is determined by the control unit 100 that the insertion is impossible. In this state, the preparation container 54 performs an operation (holding operation) for holding the medicine in preparation for pouring into the hand bag unit 34. On the other hand, when the above (1) and (2) are satisfied, the hand manipulator unit 34 corresponding to the preparation container 54 that has prepared the medicine by the control unit 100 is in a state in which the medicine can be dispensed. Judgment is made. Thereafter, the control flow proceeds to Step 10-8.

(Step 10-8)

Specifically, the control device 100 performs control to open the bottom shutter 55 of the preparation container 54 that has prepared the medicine and the hand opening / closing device 42 of the hand unit 34 that is the object to be placed. As a result, the medicines prepared in the respective preparation containers 54 are put into the respective handbag units 34. Thereby, a series of preparation control is completed.

The medicine packaging device 10 can perform the packaging processing as described above to package the medicine. Here, in the inspection process carried out during the packaging process, if a drug that does not match the prescription information is detected, a process for stopping the dispensing of the drug (dispensing stop process) is performed and the packaging process is stopped. In addition, it is desirable to issue a warning to the user. Moreover, even when the dispensing of a medicine that does not match the prescription information is detected, it is assumed that an accurate medicine is dispensed for the other medicine used for the packaging. Therefore, in such a case, the medicine that is detected not to match the prescription information is paid out again from the manual unit 34, and the medicine that is detected to match the prescription information is returned to the manual processing unit 34. If it takes out, the consumption of a medicine can be suppressed to the minimum.

In the medicine packaging device 10, it is also possible to handle a plurality of prescriptions continuously. In this case, when there is a medicine (common medicine) that is commonly used in a plurality of prescriptions, a handbag unit 34 for the common medicine is set, and this handbag unit 34 is used over a plurality of prescriptions. You may do it. By performing such an operation, the handrail unit 34 with a limited quantity can be efficiently used.

It is possible to operate by assigning and using the basic hand unit 34. In this case, if the quantity (total number) of drugs to be prepared in each manual unit 34 is derived for each drug type, and the total number is guided as a quantity to be prepared in each manual unit 34 by display or voice, Convenience is further improved. In addition to guiding the number of drugs to be prepared (total number) to each manual unit 34, the breakdown of the total number, that is, the number of each drug required for each prescription is displayed or voiced. You may do it.

Also, as described above, when a plurality of prescriptions are continuously processed, the medicine packaging device 10 may be operated by the following operation method in order to improve efficiency. Specifically, when processing a plurality of prescriptions, a part of the plurality of hand-manipulation units 34 provided in the hand-manipulation unit 30 and a medicine related to a different prescription in the other hand-manipulation unit 34 are dispensed. The medicines can be dispensed from the manual operation unit 34 sequentially for each prescription. Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 21, six handrail units 34 (handrail unit group 48a) are assigned to the first prescription. In addition, four hand manipulator units 34 (manipulator unit group 48b) are assigned to the second prescription prescribed following the first prescription. Further, in order to prepare a medicine used for the third prescription prescribed subsequent to the second prescription, six preparation containers 54 (preparation containers) located at positions corresponding to the first prescription handrail unit 34 are prepared. Group 68a) is assigned. Furthermore, four preparation containers 54 (preparation container groups) located at positions corresponding to the second prescription hand-manipulation unit 34 are used for preparing a medicine used for the fourth prescription prescribed after the third prescription. 68b).
