Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a storage container for a storage and delivery station for piece goods, in particular medicines or nutritional supplements.
  • Modern blister machines such as those disclosed in WO 2013/034504 A1, include several hundred storage and delivery stations, depending on the stage of development. A plurality of medicament portions of a specific medicament are stored in these, and individual medicament portions can be dispensed on request. With the blister machine, the drug portions stored in the storage and dispensing stations are put together and blistered for each patient according to the entry times prescribed by the doctor.
  • corresponding storage and dispensing stations for dispensing one or more drug portions are activated.
  • a storage and dispensing station When a storage and dispensing station is controlled, a single portion of medication is separated with a separating device arranged in the storage container of the storage and dispensing station and transferred to a guide device of the blister machine via a dispensing opening in the storage container.
  • a dispensed medicament portion is fed by means of the guide device, optionally with the interposition of a collecting device, to a packaging device which blisters individual or multiple medicament portions in accordance with a doctor's specification.
  • the separation device comprises a rotor with a plurality of channels, which are usually arranged on the outer circumference of the rotor.
  • the channels must be adapted to the drug portions to be separated in terms of their dimensions such that in a channel Drug portions can only be arranged one above the other, but not side by side.
  • the channels can, for example, be dimensioned in such a way that only one medicament portion can be received in a channel.
  • a retaining section of a retaining means or separator is guided or arranged at least in or above the channel in the area above the dispensing opening , aligned with the dispensing port.
  • the retention portion is arranged in or above the channel in relation to the height of the channel such that only one medicament portion can be arranged below the retention portion. If the retaining section is guided into the channel in order to separate the lowermost pharmaceutical portion from those arranged above it, projections separating individual channels have a slot which accommodates the retaining section. If the retaining section is arranged or guided over the channels, it is regularly guided only slightly over the upper ends of the projections, so that it is avoided that further drug portions get into the channel when the drug portion is dispensed.
  • a slot is made in the side wall of the housing of the reservoir, through which the retaining section is guided into the reservoir from the outside, in such a way that the retaining section, depending on the design of the channels, can be inserted via them or in a slot in the canals is arranged.
  • the channels and thus the projections defining the channels are adapted to the dimensions of the drug portions to be separated. This means that the projections have different heights for different drug portions, or the slot is arranged for different housing heights. It follows that the position of the horizontal slot in the housing is also dependent on the dimensions of the medicament portions, so that different housings have to be used for different medicament portions. In other words, if a storage and delivery station is to be converted to a type of drug with different dimensions, both the storage container and the separator and the rotor of the separating device must be adapted by the user to the drug to be separated.
  • the storage container according to the invention for a storage and delivery station for small items, in particular medicines and nutritional supplements, comprises a housing enclosing a receiving space for small items with an internally circular cylindrical section and a bottom surface having a delivery opening, an in to the Circular-cylindrical section of the housing arranged separating device with at least one channel for receiving at least one small item and with an annular groove for receiving a positioning means.

  • Separating device secures and aligns the retaining portion at the discharge opening by interacting with the circular-cylindrical portion of the housing.
  • the invention provides for the restraining means to be arranged directly on the separating device.
  • the separating device has an annular groove in which the retaining means is guided via a positioning means.
  • the annular groove and the positioning means ensure that the restraining means is fixed vertically on the separating device.
  • the retaining means comprises a retaining means which interacts with the circular-cylindrical section and prevents the retaining means from rotating with the separating device.
  • the storage container according to the invention When changing the type of drug, it is only necessary with the storage container according to the invention to release the interaction between the holding means and the circular-cylindrical section and then to remove the separating device together with the retaining means from the housing. Another separating device can then be used with a restraining means that is already present. After fixing the restraining means on the holding means, the Storage and delivery station can be put into operation immediately. Because the restraining means is combined with the separating device and can be removed from the housing as an overall component, the time required to adjust the storage and delivery station is reduced on the one hand, and on the other hand the change is more convenient for the user, since only one The entire component can be removed and reinserted. In the case of the storage container according to the invention, there is no need to insert or introduce the retaining means after an adapted separating device has been arranged.
  • the annular groove is arranged on or in the separating device depends on the exact design of the storage container, more precisely the positioning of the retaining section of the retaining means (see above).
  • Two variants are common.
  • the retaining section is positioned above the inlet openings of the channels; in the second variant, the retaining section is guided in a gap that divides the webs defining the channels (and thus also the channels) into upper and lower web sections (and channel sections).

  • the manner in which the interaction between the holding means and the circular-cylindrical section is produced in such a way that twisting or rotating of the retaining means with the separating device is avoided is not essential to the invention. The only important thing is that the co-rotation is prevented. This can be done, for example, by designing the holding means as a magnet that interacts with a magnet inside or outside the housing.

  • a vertically adjustable, radially fixed holding means receptacle is arranged, which in turn has an opening into which the holding means engages. Because the holding means receptacle is vertically adjustable, it slides with it in terms of height, but is fixed radially, so that the holding means does not rotate with the separating device.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un contenant de stockage d'une station de stockage et de distribution de médicaments ou de compléments alimentaires. Les contenants de stockage correspondants comportent un dispositif de dosage possédant une pluralité de canaux et un moyen de retenue destiné à empêcher qu'un produit ne glisse vers le bas dans un canal orienté vers une ouverture de distribution. Des moyens de retenue connus sont fixés au contenant de stockage en son sein ou à l'extérieur de celui-ci, ce qui complique le processus de changement du dispositif de dosage. Afin de résoudre ce problème, le dispositif de dosage du contenant de stockage (1) selon l'invention comprend une rainure annulaire (35) destinée à recevoir un moyen de positionnement (42) et un moyen de retenue (40) avec un moyen de positionnement (42) et une section de retenue (41). Le moyen de positionnement (42) coopère avec la rainure annulaire (35) du dispositif de dosage (30) et fixe verticalement le moyen de retenue (40). Le moyen de retenue comprend un moyen de retenue supplémentaire (43) qui empêche que le moyen de retenue (40) ne tourne conjointement avec le dispositif de dosage (30) et qui aligne la section de retenue (41) avec l'ouverture de distribution (15) par le fait que le moyen de retenue interagit avec la section cylindrique circulaire (11) du boîtier (10).
