Description

薬剤払出し装置Drug dispensing device







　本発明は、薬剤払出し装置に関するものであり、特に散薬を一服用分ずつ包装して払い出す薬剤払出し装置に関するものである。






The present invention relates to a medicine dispensing apparatus, and more particularly to a medicine dispensing apparatus that wraps and dispenses powdered medicine for each dose.













　近年、大病院や、大規模の薬局では、散薬分包装置や散薬分包機能を備えた薬剤払出し装置が導入されている。ここで散薬分包装置とは、処方情報に基づいて散薬を一服用分ずつ個別に包装する装置である。散薬分包装置を使用すれば、散薬を一服用分ずつ包装する作業の大半を自動化することができる。







　旧来の薬剤払出し装置は、例えば特許文献１に開示された様に散薬を一服用分ずつに分配する散薬分配部と、分配された散薬を個別に包装する包装装置によって構成されている。また散薬分配部は、粉体フィーダと、分配皿と、掻出装置を有している。旧来の薬剤払出し装置では、薬剤師が医師の処方箋を確認し、薬棚から、処方された散薬が入った薬瓶を取り出す。そして天秤等の秤を使用して処方された特定の散薬の総重量を量り出す。そして量り出した散薬を、粉体フィーダのホッパーに投入し、粉体フィーダのトラフを振動させて散薬を分配皿に落下させる。また同時に分配皿を一定の回転速度で連続的に回転させ、分配皿の溝に均等に分散させる。






In recent years, large hospitals and large-scale pharmacies have introduced powder dispensing devices and drug dispensing devices having a powder dispensing function. Here, the powder medicine packaging device is an apparatus for individually packaging powder medicines for each dose based on prescription information. If you use a powder packaging device, you can automate most of the work of packing powder for each dose.







The conventional medicine dispensing device is composed of, for example, a powder distribution unit that distributes a powder for each dose and a packaging device that individually packages the distributed powder as disclosed in Patent Document 1. Moreover, the powder distribution part has a powder feeder, a distribution tray, and a scraping device. In the conventional medicine dispensing device, the pharmacist confirms the doctor's prescription and takes out the medicine bottle containing the prescribed powder from the medicine shelf. Then, the total weight of the specific powder prescribed using a balance such as a balance is measured. Then, the weighed powder is put into the hopper of the powder feeder, and the trough of the powder feeder is vibrated to drop the powder onto the distribution tray. At the same time, the distribution tray is continuously rotated at a constant rotational speed to be evenly distributed in the grooves of the distribution tray.













　その後に、掻出装置の掻寄板を分配皿の溝内に落とし、分配皿を分配個数に応じた角度だけ回転させ、一服用分の散薬を掻寄板の前面側に集める。そして掻寄板を回転し、掻出板によって散薬を分配皿の外に掻き出して、包装装置側に送り、包装装置で一服用分ずつ包装する。






Thereafter, the scraping plate of the scraping device is dropped into the groove of the distribution tray, the distribution tray is rotated by an angle corresponding to the number of distributions, and a single dose of powder is collected on the front side of the scraping plate. Then, the scraping plate is rotated, and the powder is scraped out of the distribution tray by the scraping plate, sent to the packaging device side, and packaged by the packaging device one by one.













　旧来の薬剤払出し装置では、薬剤師が薬棚から所望の散薬が入った薬瓶を取り出し、その薬瓶から所定量の散薬を量り出す作業が必要であったが、本出願人は、この作業を自動化した薬剤払出し装置を開発することに成功した（特許文献２）。






In the conventional medicine dispensing device, it was necessary for the pharmacist to take out a medicine bottle containing a desired powder from a medicine shelf and to measure a predetermined amount of powder from the medicine bottle. Succeeded in developing an automated medicine dispensing device (Patent Document 2).













　本出願人が開発し、特許文献２に開示した薬剤払出し装置は、分配皿の周囲に振動台を配置したものである。特許文献２に開示した薬剤払出し装置では、振動台に計量手段としてロードセルが設けられている。







　また特許文献２に開示した薬剤払出し装置では、多数の薬剤容器を収容する容器棚と、薬剤容器を棚から取り出して振動台に設置するロボットを有している。







　特許文献２に開示した薬剤払出し装置では、ロボットで薬剤容器を容器棚から取り出して振動台に移動させ、薬剤容器を振動させて薬剤容器から直接分配皿に散薬を落下させる。また振動台に取り付けられたロードセルで薬剤容器の重量を監視することにより、散薬の落下量を検知する。







　その後の工程は、旧来と同様であり、分配皿を一定の回転速度で連続的に回転させ、分配皿の溝に散薬を均等に分散 (配分）させる。そして掻出装置の掻寄板を分配皿の溝内に落とし、分配皿を分配個数に応じた角度だけ回転させ、一服用分の散薬を掻寄板の前面側に集め、掻出板によって散薬を分配皿の外に掻き出して、包装装置側に送り、包装装置で一服用分ずつ包装する。






The medicine dispensing device developed by the present applicant and disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a vibrating table arranged around a distribution tray. In the medicine dispensing device disclosed in Patent Document 2, a load cell is provided as a weighing unit on the vibration table.







In addition, the medicine dispensing device disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a container shelf for storing a large number of medicine containers, and a robot for taking out the medicine containers from the shelf and placing them on a vibration table.







In the medicine dispensing device disclosed in Patent Document 2, a medicine container is taken out from a container shelf by a robot and moved to a vibrating table, and the medicine container is vibrated to drop the powder directly from the medicine container onto a distribution tray. In addition, the weight of the medicine container is monitored by a load cell attached to the shaking table to detect the amount of the powder falling.







The subsequent steps are the same as in the past, and the dispensing tray is continuously rotated at a constant rotational speed to evenly distribute (distribute) the powder in the grooves of the dispensing tray. Then, the scraping plate of the scraping device is dropped into the groove of the distribution tray, the distribution tray is rotated by an angle corresponding to the number of distributions, and the powder for one dose is collected on the front side of the scraping plate, and the powder is scattered by the scraping plate. Is scraped out of the distribution tray, sent to the packaging device, and packaged by the packaging device.













特開平７－８００４３号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-80043 ＷＯ２０１４－４６１４８号公報WO2014-46148







　本出願人が開示した薬剤払出し装置によると、薬剤師の作業が大幅に軽減される上に、短時間で正確に薬剤分包を行うことができる。







　しかしながら、市場においては、さらなる改良が求められている。具体的には、より迅速に、より正確に薬剤を分包することができ、且つ収容可能な薬剤容器の数を減らすことなく装置全体の小型化を図ることができる薬剤払出し装置を開発することが市場において求められている。






According to the medicine dispensing apparatus disclosed by the present applicant, the work of the pharmacist is greatly reduced and the medicine can be accurately packaged in a short time.







However, further improvements are required in the market. Specifically, the development of a medicine dispensing apparatus that can package medicine more quickly and more accurately and can reduce the size of the entire apparatus without reducing the number of medicine containers that can be accommodated. Is required in the market.













　また従来技術の薬剤払出し装置は、分配皿を使用するものであるが、分配皿を使用する薬剤払出し装置は、少量かつ小包の小児向けの処方の散薬を分包するには不向きであった。







　即ち分配皿の大きさ（径）は一度に包装される最大容量に対応している。具体的には一包装に収容される散薬の量が多く、且つ服用回数が多い場合に対応できる様に分配皿の大きさ（径）が設計される。







　そのため逆に小児向けの処方の分包の様に、一包装に収容される散薬の量が少なく、且つ服用回数も少ない場合には、分配皿の溝に散薬を分散(配分）させたとき、薬剤は溝の底に薄く溜まる状態となり、掻出装置で散薬を排出しにくい状態となってしまう。







　そのため分配皿を使用する薬剤払出し装置では、分包可能な散薬量に下限があり、少量の散薬を分包することが困難であった。






In addition, the drug dispensing device of the prior art uses a dispensing tray, but the drug dispensing device using the dispensing tray is unsuitable for dispensing a small amount of a prescription powder for a child.







That is, the size (diameter) of the distribution tray corresponds to the maximum capacity that can be packed at one time. Specifically, the size (diameter) of the distribution dish is designed so as to be able to cope with a large amount of powder contained in one package and a large number of doses.







Therefore, conversely, like a prescription package for children, if the amount of powder contained in one package is small and the number of doses is small, when the powder is dispersed (distributed) in the groove of the distribution dish, The drug is thinly accumulated at the bottom of the groove, and the powder is difficult to be discharged by the scraping device.







Therefore, in the medicine dispensing device using the distribution tray, there is a lower limit to the amount of powder that can be packaged, and it has been difficult to package a small amount of powder.













　本発明は上記した市場の要求に応えるべく開発されたものであり、上記したいずれかの目的を達成することができる薬剤払出し装置を開発することを課題とするものである。
