- the present embodiment in addition to the determination of the presence or absence of the tablet based on the absolute value of the reflected light, it is determined whether or not the solid drug is present based on the amount of change per unit time of the reflected light.
- the amount of change in the reflected light per unit time is used. Also, it was determined whether or not a solid drug was present. That is, it was determined whether or not the solid drug was present also based on the differential value of the reflected light.
- the reflected light is weak, and the light receiving intensity to the light receiving unit may not reach the threshold value for determining that there is a tablet.
- the reflected light flickers. Therefore, even when the received light intensity does not reach the threshold value for determining that there is a tablet, if the received light has a flicker exceeding the normal level and the amount of change per unit time reaches a certain threshold value, It is determined that the user has got on the two rotating bodies 51.
- the amount of change (differential value) per unit time does not reach a certain threshold and the absolute value of the reflected light exceeds the threshold, it is determined that a tablet is present on the second rotating body 51.
- the inner first rotating body 50 slowly rises while rotating when dispensing a medicine, and the tablet group mounted on the first rotating body 50 rises while rotating. .

- the overflow sensor 53 has a light-emitting portion and a light-receiving portion, and receives light reflected by the solid medicine at the light-receiving portion, and the reflected light per unit time of reflected light. It is determined whether or not the solid drug exists based on the amount of change.
- tablet detection on the second rotating body 51 is detected by both the absolute value of the reflected light and the amount of change (differential value) per unit time. Therefore, in the medicine dispensing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the operation when dispensing tablets from the medicine cassette 10 by the normal dispensing operation is as shown in the flowchart of FIG.
- step 1 When the normal payout operation is selected in step 1, the process proceeds to step 2, and the second rotating body (outer ring) 51 starts normal rotation. Subsequently, the process proceeds to step 3, where it is determined whether a predetermined amount of tablets has been discharged. If a predetermined amount of tablets has been discharged, the flow proceeds to step 4 to stop the operation of the medicine cassette 10 and end a series of operations.
- step 5 it is determined whether or not the missing item detection time has elapsed. That is, when the medicine is not discharged even after the second rotating body 51 is continuously rotated for a certain period of time, it is determined that the medicine cassette 10 is empty, and the process proceeds to step 4 to stop the operation of the medicine cassette 10. To end a series of operations.
- step 5 the process proceeds from step 5 to step 6 and further to step 7 to determine whether the absolute value of the amount of light received by the overflow sensor 53 has exceeded the threshold value or the differential value has exceeded the threshold value.
- step 8 the process proceeds to step 8 to stop the raising of the first rotating body (inner ring) 50 and returns to step 3. If the first rotating body (inner ring) 50 has not started rotating and ascending, the state is maintained and the process returns to step S3. If it is determined in Steps 6 and 7 that none of the thresholds is exceeded, the process proceeds to Step 9 to determine whether or not a predetermined outer wheel drive time limit has been reached. If the outer wheel drive time limit has not been reached, it is expected that the tablet group has not competed to the second rotating body, so the process proceeds to step 10, where the inner wheel is rotated and the inner wheel is raised, and the process returns to step 3.
- a timer-controlled dispensing operation can be performed as the operation of dispensing the medicine from the medicine cassette 10.
- the timer-controlled payout operation is a method in which the first rotating body 50 is raised for a predetermined time and then stopped for a predetermined time.
- the medicine may be detected based on both the absolute value of the reflected light and the amount of change (differential value) per unit time, but performing the “timer control dispensing operation” Since it is often difficult to detect a medicine based on the absolute value of the reflected light, only the differential value may be used.
- the operation of dispensing tablets from the medicine cassette 10 by the timer-controlled dispensing operation is as shown in the flowchart of FIG.
- the flow of the timer control payout operation is the same as the normal payout operation in FIG. 20 up to step 5.
- step 7 If the differential value exceeds the threshold value, the process proceeds to step 7 to stop the rising of the first rotating body 50 and returns to step 3. If it is determined in step 6 that the differential value does not exceed the threshold value, the process proceeds to step 8 and it is determined whether or not the inner wheel is rising. If the inner wheel is being raised, the process proceeds to step 9, where it is determined whether or not a certain inner wheel drive time limit has been reached. If the inner wheel drive time limit has not been reached, the process returns to step 3. If the inner-wheel drive time limit has been reached, the process proceeds to step 7 to stop the raising of the first rotating body 50 and returns to step 3.
- step 8 if the inner wheel is not rising, it is determined whether or not a certain inner wheel stop time limit has been reached. If the inner wheel stop time limit has not been reached, the process returns to step 3. If the inner wheel stop time limit has been reached, the routine proceeds to step 11, where the first rotating body 50 is rotated and the first rotating body 50 is raised.
- the overflow sensor 53 adjusts the threshold value appropriately.
- the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 is adjusted when the medicine is dispensed from the medicine cassette 10.
- it is checked whether or not there is a tablet in the second rotating body 51 at the current threshold value.
- the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 is adjusted.
- threshold adjustment is performed in the state where the tablet is present in the second rotating body 51, light may be reflected on the surface of the tablet during the threshold adjustment, and the threshold may be set higher. If the threshold value is set to a high value, the first rotating body 50 rises, and the tablet moves from the first rotating body 50 onto the second rotating body 51, and the timing at which the rising of the first rotating body 50 should be stopped is stopped. Despite this, the overflow sensor 53 cannot detect the tablet on the second rotating body 51, and there is a concern that the first rotating body 50 continues to rise and the tablet overflows on the second rotating body 51. It is.
- the first measure is to rotate the second rotating body 51 in the reverse direction, return the tablet on the second rotating body 51 from the second rotating body 51 to the first rotating body 50 side, and then adjust the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53. I do.
- the second measure is to rotate the second rotating body 51 forward, discharge the tablet on the second rotating body 51 from the tablet discharge port 17, and then adjust the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53. This will be described below.
- the tablet discharge port 17 is provided on the second rotating body 51.
- the medicine is discharged from the tablet discharging port 17 to the outside.
- the medicine on the second rotating body 51 hits the cover of the tablet discharge port 17 and falls to the first rotating body (inner ring) 50 side.
- the overflow sensor 53 stops detecting the tablet, the reverse rotation of the second rotating body 51 is stopped, and the threshold adjustment of the overflow sensor 53 is started.
- the threshold adjustment of the overflow sensor 53 when performing the threshold adjustment of the overflow sensor 53, it is confirmed that there is no tablet in the second rotating body 51, and the threshold adjustment is performed only when there is no tablet. Then, the medicine is dispensed according to the normal dispensing operation. Even if the reverse rotation of the second rotating body 51 is reversed for a certain period of time, if the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect tablets, the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 is not adjusted.
- the first rotator 50 is raised more slowly than in a normal case.
- the rising speed of the first rotating body 50 is limited by using a timer. That is, the first rotator 50 is raised so that the amount of tablets that the first rotator 50 rises and transfers to the second rotator 51 is smaller than the amount of tablets that are discharged from the outlet when the second rotator 51 rotates. Suppress the ascent rate of 50.
- the inner first rotating body 50 rises more slowly while rotating.
- the tablet placed on the first rotator 50 placed on the first rotator 50 moves to the second rotator 51, but the second tablet per unit time is moved to the second rotator 51 per unit time. Since a small number of the tablets move to the rotating body 51 and all the tablets on the second rotating body 51 are discharged, the tablets do not overflow.
- step 1 it is determined whether or not the overflow sensor 53 detects a medicine. In short, it detects whether or not there is a medicine on the second rotating body 51. If there is no medicine, the process proceeds to step 6 to adjust the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53, and proceeds to step 7 to perform normal dispensing. If there is a medicine on the second rotating body 51, the process proceeds to step 2 and the second rotating body (outer ring) 51 is rotated in the reverse direction. In step 3, the elapse of time is determined, and the second rotating body 51 is rotated in the reverse direction for a predetermined time, and during that time, it is monitored whether or not the overflow sensor 53 is detecting a medicine.
- step 6 the process proceeds to step 6 and the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 is adjusted. If the overflow sensor 53 detects the medicine even if the second rotating body 51 is rotated backward for a certain period of time, the process proceeds to step 4 to execute the timer control payout operation.
- step 3 After the second rotating body (outer ring) 51 is reversely rotated in step 2, it is determined in step 3 that the reverse rotation continuation time has passed a predetermined time ⁇ 1 while the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect, and the timer control in step 4 is performed. It is conceivable to determine whether or not the state in which the detection signal based on the differential value of the amount of light received by the overflow sensor 53 is not detected for a certain period of time ⁇ 1 before shifting to the payout operation. Note that the time ⁇ 1 set as the above condition is equal to or less than ⁇ 1.
- the process proceeds to step 6 and the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 Make adjustments. If the state in which the detection signal based on the differential value of the amount of light received by the overflow sensor 53 is not detected while the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect for a certain period of time ⁇ 1 does not continue, the reverse rotation continuation time is constant while the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect in step 3. It is determined that the time ⁇ 1 has elapsed, and the process proceeds to step 4 to execute the timer control payout operation. Thus, the frequency of executing the timer control payout operation can be reduced.
- the second measure is to rotate the second rotating body 51 forward while the first rotating body 50 is stopped, discharge the tablet on the second rotating body 51 from the tablet discharge port 17, and supply the vial vial. Put in a bottle.
- the number of tablets put into a vial or the like is determined by Count with.
- the overflow sensor 53 keeps monitoring the tablets on the second rotating body 51. If the overflow sensor 53 stops detecting the tablets, the rotation of the second rotating body 51 is stopped. After that, the threshold of the overflow sensor 53 is adjusted. When the threshold adjustment of the overflow sensor 53 is completed, a normal tablet discharging operation is performed, and the remaining tablets are discharged.
- the flowchart in FIG. 23 illustrates the operation when the second measure is adopted. That is, in step 1, it is determined whether or not the overflow sensor 53 detects a medicine. The operation when there is no medicine is the same as the first method. The process proceeds to step 9 to adjust the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53, and proceeds to step 10 to perform normal dispensing. If the medicine is present on the second rotating body 51, the process proceeds to step 2 to start counting the amount of discharge, and proceeds to step 3 to rotate the second rotating body 51 forward. In steps 3, 4 and 5, the second rotating body 51 is rotated forward for a certain period of time, and during that time, it is monitored whether or not the overflow sensor 53 is detecting a medicine.
- step 9 the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 is adjusted. If the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect the medicine even if the second rotating body 51 rotates forward for a certain period of time, the process proceeds to step 6 to execute the timer control payout operation.
- step 5 it is determined in step 5 that the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect while the forward rotating time is equal to or longer than the predetermined time ⁇ 2. It is conceivable to determine whether or not the state in which the detection signal based on the differential value of the amount of light received by the overflow sensor 53 is not detected continues for a certain period of time ⁇ 2. Note that the time ⁇ 2 set as the above condition is equal to or less than ⁇ 2.
- the process proceeds to step 9 and the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 is set. Make adjustments. If the state in which the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect and does not detect the detection signal based on the differential value of the amount of light received by the overflow sensor 53 does not continue for a certain period of time ⁇ 2, the process proceeds to step 5 and the overflow sensor 53 rotates forward while continuing detection. If it is determined that the given time has elapsed the predetermined time ⁇ 2, the process proceeds to step 6 to execute a timer control payout operation. Thus, the frequency of executing the timer control payout operation can be reduced.
- the timing of adjusting the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53 may be performed after the tablet dispensing ends, in addition to the above. That is, the second rotating body (outer ring) 51 is rotated reversely after the tablet dispensing is completed (after a predetermined number of tablets are discharged). The second rotating body 51 is rotated reversely for a certain period of time, and during that time, it is monitored whether the overflow sensor 53 is detecting a medicine. When the overflow sensor 53 stops detecting the medicine during a certain period of time, it is conceivable to adjust the threshold value of the overflow sensor 53. Alternatively, when the overflow sensor 53 continues to detect and does not detect a detection signal based on the differential value of the amount of light received by the overflow sensor 53 for a certain period of time, the threshold of the overflow sensor 53 may be adjusted.
- the second rotating body (outer ring) 51 is rotated.
- the forward rotation and the reverse rotation may be alternately performed or may be performed at a fixed rate. What is necessary is just to finally rotate in the rotation direction of.
- the second rotating body 51 is alternately rotated forward and backward or alternately at a fixed rate and then finally rotated forward.
