藥劑配發裝置Medicine dispensing device

本發明係有關於藥劑配發裝置,特別是有關於將散劑按照一次服用量一包一包分別進行包裝並配發之藥劑配發裝置。The present invention relates to a medicament dispensing device, in particular to a medicament dispensing device in which powders are packaged and dispensed according to the dosage of one package per package.

近年來,於大醫院或大規模藥店中引進了散劑分包裝置或具有散劑分包功能之藥劑配發裝置。於此,所謂“散劑分包裝置”,係指根據處方資訊將散劑按照一次服用量一包一包分別進行包裝之裝置。在使用散劑分包裝置之情況下,能夠自動化地進行將散劑按照一次服用量一包一包分別進行包裝之作業中的大半作業。In recent years, large hospitals or large-scale pharmacies have introduced powder sub-packaging devices or pharmaceutical dispensing devices with powder sub-packaging functions. Here, the so-called "powder sub-packaging device" refers to a device that separately packs powders according to the prescription information, one package per package at a time. In the case of using the powder packaging device, it is possible to automatically perform most of the operations of packaging the powders according to the amount of one package per package.

先前之藥劑配發裝置例如如專利文獻1所揭示,係由將散劑按照一次服用量一包一包分別進行分配之散劑分配部與將分配好之散劑分別進行包裝之包裝裝置構成。另外,散劑分配部係具有粉體送料器、分配盤以及刮出裝置。在先前之藥劑配發裝置之情況下,由藥劑師確認醫生的處方,從藥架上取出裝有處方開出的散劑之藥瓶,然後,使用天平等秤秤量處方開出之特定散劑之總重量。然後,將秤量出的散劑投入粉體送料器之料斗中,使粉體送料器之濾槽振動而使散劑落入分配盤中。另外,同時使分配盤以固定轉速連續地旋轉,使得散劑均勻地分散於分配盤之槽中。The conventional medicine dispensing device, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, is composed of a powder dispensing unit that dispenses powders in a single dose, one packet per packet, and a packaging device that separately packages the dispensed powders. In addition, the powder distribution unit has a powder feeder, a distribution plate, and a scraping device. In the case of the previous medicine dispensing device, the pharmacist confirms the doctor's prescription, takes out the medicine bottle containing the prescription powder from the medicine rack, and then uses the balance to weigh the total of the prescribed powder weight. Then, put the weighed powder into the hopper of the powder feeder, and vibrate the filter trough of the powder feeder to make the powder fall into the distribution tray. In addition, at the same time, the distribution plate is continuously rotated at a fixed speed, so that the powder is evenly dispersed in the groove of the distribution plate.

在這之後,使刮出裝置之刮攏板落入分配盤之槽內,並使分配盤僅旋轉與分配個數對應之角度,從而使一次服用量之散劑聚積於刮攏板之前面側。然後,旋轉刮攏板,藉由刮出板將散劑刮出至分配盤外部並輸送至包裝裝置側,然後藉由包裝裝置按照一次服用量一包一包地進行包裝。After that, the scraping plate of the scraping device is dropped into the groove of the distribution plate, and the distribution plate is rotated only at an angle corresponding to the number of dispensing, so that the powder for one dose is accumulated on the front side of the scraping plate. Then, the scraping plate is rotated, and the powder is scraped out to the outside of the distribution tray by the scraping plate and transported to the side of the packaging device, and then the packaging device is used for packaging according to the dosage of one packet at a time.

在先前之藥劑配發裝置之情況下,需要由藥劑師進行從藥架上取出裝有所需散劑之藥瓶,並從該藥瓶中秤量出規定量的散劑這一作業,本申請人成功地開發出使該作業自動化之藥劑配發裝置(專利文獻2)。In the case of the previous medicine dispensing device, the pharmacist needs to take out the medicine bottle containing the required powder from the medicine rack and weigh out the prescribed amount of the powder from the medicine bottle. The applicant succeeded We have developed a medicine dispensing device that automates this operation (Patent Document 2).

本申請人開發之揭示於專利文獻2之藥劑配發裝置,在分配盤的周圍配置有振動臺。在專利文獻2所揭示之藥劑配發裝置中,於振動臺上設置有作為計量結構之測力感測器。The medicine dispensing device disclosed inPatent Document 2 developed by the applicant has a vibrating table arranged around the distribution plate. In the medicine dispensing device disclosed inPatent Document 2, a force sensor as a metering structure is provided on a vibrating table.

此外,在專利文獻2所揭示之藥劑配發裝置中係設有:收容多個藥劑容器之容器架,以及從容器架取出藥劑容器並將其配置於振動臺上之機械手(robot)。In addition, the medicine dispensing device disclosed inPatent Document 2 is provided with a container rack that accommodates a plurality of medicine containers, and a robot that takes out the medicine containers from the container rack and arranges them on a vibrating table.

在專利文獻2所揭示之藥劑配發裝置中,藉由機械手將藥劑容器從容器架上取出並移動至振動臺上,然後使藥劑容器振動而使散劑從藥劑容器直接落入分配盤中。另外,藉由振動臺上所安裝之測力感測器對藥劑容器的重量進行監視,藉此檢測散劑之落下量。In the medicine dispensing device disclosed inPatent Document 2, the medicine container is taken out from the container rack by a manipulator and moved to the vibration table, and then the medicine container is vibrated to cause the powder to fall directly from the medicine container into the distribution tray. In addition, the weight of the medicine container is monitored by a force sensor installed on the vibrating table, thereby detecting the falling amount of the powder.

之後的工序同先前技術的工序,使分配盤以固定轉速連續地旋轉,而將散劑均勻地分散(分配)至分配盤之槽中。然後,使刮出裝置之刮攏板落入分配盤之槽內,並使分配盤僅旋轉與分配個數對應之角度,從而使一次服用量的散劑聚積於刮攏板之前面側,然後,藉由刮出板將散劑刮出至分配盤外部並輸送至包裝裝置側,藉由包裝裝置按照一次服用量一包一包地進行包裝。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻]The subsequent process is the same as that of the prior art, which makes the distribution plate rotate continuously at a fixed speed, and the powder is evenly dispersed (distributed) into the groove of the distribution plate. Then, the scraping plate of the scraping device is dropped into the groove of the distribution plate, and the distribution plate is rotated only by the angle corresponding to the number of dispensing, so that the powder for one dose is accumulated on the front side of the scraping plate, and then, The powder is scraped out by the scraping plate to the outside of the distribution tray and transported to the packaging device side, and the packaging device is used to pack the dosage per packet by packet. [Prior Technical Documents] [Patent Documents]

專利文獻1:日本專利特開平7-80043號公報 專利文獻2:國際公開公報WO2014-46148號Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-80043 Patent Document 2: International Publication No. WO2014-46148

[發明所欲解決之問題] 依本申請人所揭示之藥劑配發裝置,不僅能夠大幅地減少藥劑師的作業量,而且能夠以短時間準確地進行藥劑分包。[Problem to be solved by the invention] According to the medicine dispensing device disclosed by the applicant, not only the workload of the pharmacist can be greatly reduced, but also the medicine can be subcontracted accurately in a short time.

但是,市場上需要進一步的改良。具體而言,市場上需要開發下述藥劑配發裝置,即,能夠更迅速、更準確地進行藥劑分包,並且能夠在不減少可收容之藥劑容器數量之前提下謀求裝置整體的小型化這一藥劑配發裝置。However, further improvements are needed in the market. Specifically, there is a need in the market for the development of a medicine dispensing device that can more quickly and accurately dispense medicines, and that can reduce the size of the entire device without reducing the number of medicine containers that can be stored. A medicament dispensing device.

另外,先前技術下的藥劑配發裝置係使用分配盤之裝置,但是,使用分配盤之藥劑配發裝置不適合用於少量且小包的面向兒童之處方散劑之分包。In addition, the medicament dispensing device in the prior art is a device that uses a distribution plate, but the medicament dispensing device using a distribution plate is not suitable for sub-packing small amounts and small packages of prescription powders for children.

即,分配盤之大小(直徑)與一次包裝之最大容量相對應。具體而言,分配盤之大小(直徑)被設計成能夠應對收容於一包之散劑的量多且服用次數多之情況。That is, the size (diameter) of the distribution tray corresponds to the maximum capacity of a package. Specifically, the size (diameter) of the distribution tray is designed to be able to cope with the situation where the amount of powder contained in a packet is large and the number of doses is large.

因此,相反地在如針對面向兒童之處方進行分包那樣、收容於一包之散劑的量少且服用次數也少之情況下,當將散劑分散(分配)於分配盤之槽中時,呈藥劑薄薄地積存於槽的底部之狀態,從而成為藉由刮出裝置難以將散劑排出之狀態。Therefore, on the contrary, when the amount of the powder contained in one packet is small and the number of times of taking is small, as in the case of sub-packaging for children-oriented places, when the powder is dispersed (distributed) in the slot of the distribution tray, the result is The medicament is stored thinly at the bottom of the tank, so that it is difficult to discharge the powder by the scraping device.

因此,在使用分配盤之藥劑配發裝置之情況下,能夠分包的散劑量存在下限,難以對少量的散劑進行分包。Therefore, in the case of using the medicine dispensing device of the distribution tray, there is a lower limit on the amount of powder that can be packaged, and it is difficult to package a small amount of powder.

本發明係為了回應上述的市場需求而開發者,其課題係在於開發能夠實現上述任一目的之藥劑配發裝置。The present invention was developed in response to the above-mentioned market demand, and its subject is to develop a medicine dispensing device that can achieve any of the above-mentioned objectives.

接下來,對本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1之功能進行說明。本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1係將藥劑按照一次服用量一包一包地從藥劑容器30排出並輸送至下游側的包裝裝置6,然後按照一次服用量一包一包地進行包裝之裝置。Next, the function of the medicine dispensing device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The medicine dispensing device 1 of the present embodiment is a device that discharges medicines from themedicine container 30 one by one in accordance with the dosage at a time and transports them to thepackaging device 6 on the downstream side, and then packs the medicines in accordance with the dosage at a time. .

本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1,在被保管於藥劑容器收容部3之藥劑容器30中預先收納有所需的散劑。In the medicine dispensing device 1 of the present embodiment, themedicine container 30 stored in the medicinecontainer accommodating part 3 stores the required powder in advance.

本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1能夠自動地進行以下動作:即,根據處方選出藥劑容器之動作、從藥劑容器30按照一次服用量一包一包地排出藥劑之動作,以及藉由包裝裝置6對藥劑進行包裝之動作。The medicine dispensing device 1 of this embodiment can automatically perform the following actions: that is, the action of selecting a medicine container based on the prescription, the action of discharging the medicine from themedicine container 30 according to the dose at a time, and the action of thepackaging device 6 The action of packaging the medicine.

本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1根據處方自動地選出藥劑容器30。具體而言,旋轉藥劑容器收容部3之滾筒組件7,從而使所需的藥劑容器30靠近容器移動裝置5。然後,藉由容器移動裝置5之手部18保持藥劑容器30,並使臂等動作而將該藥劑容器30移動至散劑投入料斗31的正上方。另外,使藥劑容器30保持呈水平姿勢。另外,藉由未圖示之裝置按壓活動蓋部48之捏手部50,而將活動蓋部48打開。The medicine dispensing device 1 of the present embodiment automatically selects themedicine container 30 based on the prescription. Specifically, theroller assembly 7 of the medicinecontainer accommodating portion 3 is rotated, so that the requiredmedicine container 30 is close to thecontainer moving device 5. Then, themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 5, and themedicine container 30 is moved directly above thepowder injection hopper 31 by moving an arm or the like. In addition, themedicine container 30 is maintained in a horizontal posture. In addition, thehandle portion 50 of themovable lid portion 48 is pressed by a device not shown, and themovable lid portion 48 is opened.

然後,在藉由容器移動裝置5之手部18保持著藥劑容器30之狀態下,啟動激振組件22a、22b而使容器保持掌部21振動。其結果是,藥劑容器30中的散劑緩慢地移動,從藥劑容器30中排出並落入散劑投入料斗31之主料斗26中。另外,此時主料斗26之開閉板35處於關閉狀態,落下的藥劑積留在主料斗26中。Then, in a state where themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 5, theexcitation components 22a, 22b are activated to vibrate thecontainer holding palm 21. As a result, the powder in themedicine container 30 moves slowly, is discharged from themedicine container 30 and falls into themain hopper 26 of thepowder input hopper 31. In addition, at this time, the opening and closingplate 35 of themain hopper 26 is in a closed state, and the dropped medicine is accumulated in themain hopper 26.

另外,在振動開始之後緊接著藉由容器移動裝置5之第一重量測量裝置25對藥劑容器30的重量進行測量。在此期間,對藥劑容器30的重量進行監視,在散劑之總落下量變為所需的重量時,停止振動容器保持掌部21。In addition, immediately after the vibration starts, the weight of themedicine container 30 is measured by the firstweight measuring device 25 of thecontainer moving device 5. During this period, the weight of themedicine container 30 is monitored, and when the total falling amount of the powdered medicine reaches the required weight, the vibrationcontainer holding palm 21 is stopped.

即,藉由第一重量測量裝置25對作為排出藥劑之前之藥劑容器30重量之原重G進行測量,在從藥劑容器30一點一點地排出散劑時,藉由前述第一重量測量裝置25對藥劑容器30的重量進行監視。然後,在作為藥劑容器30目前重量之現重g與從原重G減去目標排出量後的值一致時或大致一致時,停止從藥劑容器30排出散劑。That is, the firstweight measuring device 25 measures the original weight G as the weight of themedicine container 30 before discharging the medicine, and when the powder is discharged from themedicine container 30 little by little, the firstweight measuring device 25 The weight of themedicine container 30 is monitored. Then, when the present weight g, which is the current weight of themedicine container 30, matches or substantially matches the value obtained by subtracting the target discharge amount from the original weight G, the discharge of the powder from themedicine container 30 is stopped.

在本實施方式中,在總落下量變為一次服用量時停止振動容器保持掌部21。In this embodiment, the vibrationcontainer holding palm 21 is stopped when the total drop amount becomes the one-time dose.

另外,在本實施方式中,在主料斗26中也設置有重量測量裝置(第二重量測量裝置36)。在本實施方式中,藉由第二重量測量裝置36對藥劑的排出量進行監視。In addition, in the present embodiment, a weight measurement device (second weight measurement device 36) is also provided in themain hopper 26. In this embodiment, the discharge amount of the medicine is monitored by the secondweight measuring device 36.

在本實施方式中,在停止從藥劑容器30排出散劑之階段,藉由第二重量測量裝置36確認藥劑的排出量,並且,以確認到藥劑的排出量相當於患者的一次服用量作為條件,打開主料斗26之開閉板35,使藥劑經由輔助料斗27而被導入包裝裝置6側。然後,藉由包裝裝置6對藥劑進行包裝。In this embodiment, at the stage when the powder medicine is stopped from themedicine container 30, the secondweight measuring device 36 confirms the discharge amount of the medicine, and it is confirmed that the discharge amount of the medicine is equivalent to the patient's one-time dose as a condition. The opening and closingplate 35 of themain hopper 26 is opened, and the medicine is introduced into thepackaging device 6 side through theauxiliary hopper 27. Then, the medicine is packaged by thepackaging device 6.

在這之後,再次開始激振組件22a、22b的振動,使容器保持掌部21再次振動,重複上述的一系列工序,從藥劑容器30向主料斗26投入一次服用量的散劑,打開開閉板35將該散劑導入包裝裝置6側,藉由包裝裝置6對一次服用量的藥劑進行包裝。After that, start the vibration of thevibration excitation components 22a, 22b again, make thecontainer holding palm 21 vibrate again, repeat the above series of steps, put a dose of powder from themedicine container 30 into themain hopper 26, and open the opening and closingplate 35 The powder is introduced into thepackaging device 6 side, and thepackaging device 6 packs the medicine for a single dose.

在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1之情況下,藉由容器移動裝置5中所設置的排出結構,以一次服用量為單位從藥劑容器30定量地排出散劑後,藉由包裝裝置6按一次服用量一包一包地包裝藥劑。然後,當完成所需服數的藥劑包裝時,藉由未圖示之裝置使活動蓋部48之捏手部50恢復原位,從而關閉活動蓋部48。然後,容器移動裝置5進行動作,使藥劑容器30返回藥劑容器收容部3之滾筒組件7。In the case of the medicine dispensing device 1 of this embodiment, the discharging structure provided in thecontainer moving device 5 quantitatively discharges the powder from themedicine container 30 in units of a single dose, and then presses it once by thepackaging device 6 The dosage is packaged in packets one by one. Then, when the required number of medication packages are completed, thehandle 50 of themovable lid 48 is returned to its original position by a device not shown, and themovable lid 48 is closed. Then, thecontainer moving device 5 operates to return themedicine container 30 to thedrum assembly 7 of the medicinecontainer accommodating part 3.

本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1,在容器移動裝置5之排出裝置中設有第一重量測量裝置25作為排出側計量結構,進而設有主料斗26,作為將從藥劑容器30排出的散劑暫時存留之臨時放置容器。另外,在作為臨時放置容器發揮作用的主料斗26中設有第二重量測量裝置36,作為接收側計量結構。而且,藉由排出裝置將藥劑從藥劑容器30中排出並臨時放置於臨時放置容器中,當作為臨時放置容器的主料斗26中積存有一次服用量的散劑時,將主料斗26內的散劑轉移至包裝裝置6中。在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1中,由於對藥劑進行兩次計量,因此裝於包裝內的散劑之量準確。In the medicine dispensing device 1 of this embodiment, the firstweight measuring device 25 is provided in the discharge device of thecontainer moving device 5 as the discharge side metering structure, and themain hopper 26 is further provided as the temporary powder discharged from themedicine container 30 Temporary storage container for storage. In addition, a secondweight measuring device 36 is provided in themain hopper 26 functioning as a temporary storage container as a receiving side weighing structure. Furthermore, the medicine is discharged from themedicine container 30 by the discharge device and temporarily placed in the temporary storage container. When themain hopper 26 serving as the temporary storage container stores a single dose of powder, the powder in themain hopper 26 is transferred To thepackaging device 6. In the medicine dispensing device 1 of this embodiment, since the medicine is metered twice, the amount of the powder contained in the package is accurate.

進而,在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1之情況下,當第一重量測量裝置25或第二重量測量裝置26中的一方因某些原因發生了故障時,能夠檢測到該情況。Furthermore, in the case of the medicine dispensing device 1 of the present embodiment, when one of the firstweight measuring device 25 or the secondweight measuring device 26 fails for some reason, it can be detected.

即,由於第一重量測量裝置25和第二重量測量裝置26的檢測重量應相同,因此,當兩者的檢測重量不一致時,可以認為是第一重量測量裝置25或第二重量測量裝置26中的一方發生了故障。That is, since the detection weights of the firstweight measurement device 25 and the secondweight measurement device 26 should be the same, when the detection weights of the two do not match, it can be regarded as the firstweight measurement device 25 or the secondweight measurement device 26 One of the failures occurred.

另外,本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置1由於不需要分配盤,因此能夠謀求裝置之小型化。In addition, since the medicine dispensing device 1 of the present embodiment does not require a dispensing tray, it is possible to reduce the size of the device.

在以上說明的實施方式中,散劑投入料斗31分為主料斗26和輔助料斗27,但是,也可以如第5圖所示之藥劑配發裝置51那樣設有將從藥劑容器30排出的藥劑暫時存留之臨時放置容器52,並在臨時放置容器52中設置重量測量裝置(第二重量測量裝置37)。In the embodiment described above, thepowder injection hopper 31 is divided into themain hopper 26 and theauxiliary hopper 27. However, themedicine dispensing device 51 shown in FIG. 5 may be provided with temporary medicines discharged from themedicine container 30. Thetemporary storage container 52 is stored, and a weight measurement device (the second weight measurement device 37) is installed in thetemporary storage container 52.

第5圖所示之藥劑配發裝置51中所採用的臨時放置容器52呈有底的杯狀。在藥劑配發裝置51中,臨時放置容器52的開口朝上,從而接收從藥劑容器30排出的藥劑。然後,使臨時放置容器52傾斜或翻轉而變為上下顛倒之姿勢,從而將散劑投入散劑投入料斗55中。Thetemporary storage container 52 used in themedicine dispensing device 51 shown in FIG. 5 has a bottomed cup shape. In themedicine dispensing device 51, the opening of thetemporary placement container 52 faces upward, so that the medicine discharged from themedicine container 30 is received. Then, thetemporary placement container 52 is tilted or turned over and turned into an upside-down posture, and the powder is injected into thepowder injection hopper 55.

其他構成與之前的實施方式相同。The other configuration is the same as the previous embodiment.

在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置51中也對藥劑進行兩次計量,因此計量準確。另外,在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置51中也不需要分配盤,因此能夠謀求裝置之小型化。In themedicine dispensing device 51 of this embodiment, the medicine is also metered twice, so the metering is accurate. In addition, themedicine dispensing device 51 of the present embodiment does not require a distribution tray, so that the size of the device can be reduced.

作為更簡單的構成,可以考慮第6圖所示結構之藥劑配發裝置56。As a simpler structure, amedicine dispensing device 56 having the structure shown in Fig. 6 can be considered.

第6圖所示之藥劑配發裝置56未設置第二重量測量裝置。而且,將散劑從藥劑容器30直接投入散劑投入料斗55中。Themedicine dispensing device 56 shown in FIG. 6 is not provided with a second weight measuring device. Then, the powder is directly put into thepowder input hopper 55 from themedicine container 30.

即,在藉由容器移動裝置5之手部18保持著藥劑容器30之狀態下啟動激振組件22a、22b,使容器保持掌部21振動,而使散劑直接落入散劑投入料斗55中。That is, in a state in which themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 5, theexcitation components 22 a and 22 b are activated to vibrate thecontainer holding palm 21 to directly drop the powder into thepowder injection hopper 55.

而且,藉由第一重量測量裝置25對藥劑容器30的重量進行監視,當散劑的總落下量變為所需重量時,停止振動容器保持掌部21。Furthermore, the weight of themedicine container 30 is monitored by the firstweight measuring device 25, and when the total drop amount of the powder becomes the required weight, thecontainer holding palm 21 is stopped from vibrating.

其他構成與之前的實施方式相同。The other configuration is the same as the previous embodiment.

另外,也可以如第7圖所示之藥劑配發裝置60那樣,藉由容器移動裝置5之排出功能,將散劑從藥劑容器30投入分配盤61中。In addition, like themedicine dispensing device 60 shown in FIG. 7, the powdered medicine may be injected from themedicine container 30 into thedistribution tray 61 by the discharge function of thecontainer moving device 5.

藥劑配發裝置60同先前之藥劑配發裝置一樣,具有分配盤61和刮出裝置62。Themedicine dispensing device 60 is the same as the previous medicine dispensing device, and has a dispensingtray 61 and ascraping device 62.

分配盤61同習知技術為盤狀的組件。分配盤61的頂面側設置有藥劑投入槽63。藥劑投入槽63也稱為“R槽”,剖面形狀為圓弧狀。Thedistribution disk 61 is a disk-shaped component similar to the conventional technology. Amedicine injection groove 63 is provided on the top surface side of thedistribution tray 61. Themedicine injection groove 63 is also referred to as an "R groove", and the cross-sectional shape is an arc shape.

刮出裝置62具有刮出用臂65和刮出結構66。透過使刮出用臂65昇降,而能夠使刮出結構66上下移動。Thescraping device 62 has ascraping arm 65 and a scrapingstructure 66. By raising and lowering thescraping arm 65, the scrapingstructure 66 can be moved up and down.

在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置60中,藉由容器移動裝置5之手部18保持藥劑容器30,並且使臂等動作而將藥劑容器30移動到分配盤61之藥劑投入槽63的正上方。In themedicine dispensing device 60 of this embodiment, themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 5, and themedicine container 30 is moved directly above themedicine injection groove 63 of thedistribution tray 61 while the arm is moved. .

然後,在藉由容器移動裝置5之手部18保持著藥劑容器30之狀態下,啟動容器移動裝置5的激振組件22a、22b,使容器保持掌部21振動,從而使藥劑落下至分配盤61之藥劑投入槽63中。Then, while themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 5, theexcitation components 22a, 22b of thecontainer moving device 5 are activated to vibrate thecontainer holding palm 21, so that the medicine falls onto the distribution tray The medicine of 61 is put into thetank 63.

另外,在振動開始之後緊接著使分配盤61旋轉。而且,在振動開始之後緊接著對藥劑容器30的重量進行測量。在此期間,藉由第一重量測量裝置25對藥劑容器30的重量進行監視,當散劑之總落下量變為所需重量時,停止振動容器保持掌部21。在此,在本實施方式中,總落下量為多次服用量的合計量。當作為藥劑容器30目前重量之現重g與從原重G減去多次服用量的合計量後的值一致或大致一致時,停止從藥劑容器30中排出散劑。In addition, thedistribution disk 61 is rotated immediately after the start of the vibration. Furthermore, the weight of themedicine container 30 is measured immediately after the start of the vibration. During this period, the weight of themedicine container 30 is monitored by the firstweight measuring device 25, and when the total falling amount of the powder becomes the required weight, the vibrationcontainer holding palm 21 is stopped. Here, in the present embodiment, the total drop amount is the total amount of the multiple doses. When the present weight g, which is the current weight of themedicine container 30, is the same or approximately the same as the value obtained by subtracting the total amount of the multiple doses from the original weight G, the discharging of the powder from themedicine container 30 is stopped.

在這之後,停止旋轉分配盤61。然後,搖動刮出用臂65,使其前端側降下從而使刮出結構66下降,並使刮出結構66進入分配盤61之藥劑投入槽63內。After that, the rotation of thedistribution plate 61 is stopped. Then, the scrapingarm 65 is shaken to lower the front end side so that the scrapingstructure 66 is lowered, and the scrapingstructure 66 enters themedicine input groove 63 of thedistribution tray 61.

接著,使分配盤61僅旋轉與分配個數對應之角度,將藥劑刮攏至刮攏板67。然後,旋轉刮攏板67,並且藉由刮出板68將藥劑撈起而將藥劑從分配盤61排出並投入散劑投入料斗77中。當藥劑在散劑投入料斗77中下落並被運送至包裝裝置6時,藉由包裝裝置6進行包裝。Next, thedistribution plate 61 is rotated only by an angle corresponding to the number of distributions, and the medicine is scraped to thescraping plate 67. Then, the scrapingplate 67 is rotated, and the medicine is picked up by the scrapingplate 68 to discharge the medicine from thedistribution tray 61 and put it into thepowder injection hopper 77. When the medicine falls in thepowder injection hopper 77 and is transported to thepackaging device 6, it is packaged by thepackaging device 6.

依次重複該動作,將分配盤61內的藥劑全部排出,並分別藉由包裝裝置6包裝藥劑。This operation is repeated in order to discharge all the medicines in thedistribution tray 61, and the medicines are respectively packaged by thepackaging device 6.

在以上說明的實施方式中,均在容器移動裝置5中設置有重量測量裝置(第一重量測量裝置25),但亦可根據其他位置的重量測量裝置的檢測值使激振組件22a、22b工作。In the above-described embodiments, the weight measurement device (first weight measurement device 25) is provided in thecontainer moving device 5, but theexcitation components 22a, 22b can also be operated based on the detection value of the weight measurement device at other positions .

第8圖所示之藥劑配發裝置70為第4圖所示之藥劑配發裝置1之變形,且在容器移動裝置5中未設置重量測量裝置(第一重量測量裝置25)。其他構成同第4圖所示之藥劑配發裝置1。Themedicine dispensing device 70 shown in FIG. 8 is a modification of the medicine dispensing device 1 shown in FIG. 4, and the weight measuring device (the first weight measuring device 25) is not provided in thecontainer moving device 5. The other configuration is the same as that of the medicine dispensing device 1 shown in Fig. 4.

在藥劑配發裝置70中,也是藉由容器移動裝置5之手部18保持藥劑容器30,並使臂等動作而將該藥劑容器30移動到散劑投入料斗31的正上方。然後,在藉由容器移動裝置5之手部18保持著藥劑容器30之狀態下,啟動激振組件22a、22b,使容器保持掌部21振動,從而使藥劑從藥劑容器30落下至散劑投入料斗31之主料斗26中。Also in themedicine dispensing device 70, themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 5, and themedicine container 30 is moved directly above thepowder injection hopper 31 by moving an arm or the like. Then, while themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 5, theexcitation components 22a, 22b are activated to vibrate thecontainer holding palm 21, so that the medicine falls from themedicine container 30 to thepowder injection hopper 31 of themain hopper 26.

另外,在振動開始之後緊接著藉由主料斗26側的第二重量測量裝置36對藥劑容器30的重量進行測量。In addition, immediately after the vibration starts, the weight of themedicine container 30 is measured by the secondweight measuring device 36 on themain hopper 26 side.

即,藉由主料斗26側的第二重量測量裝置36對積存於主料斗26內之藥劑的重量進行測量。然後,當積存於主料斗26內之藥劑的重量與從原重G減去目標排出量後的值一致或大致一致時,停止從藥劑容器30排出散劑。更具體而言,當達到患者的一次服用量時,使激振組件22a、22b停止,從而停止從藥劑容器30排出散劑。That is, the weight of the medicine stored in themain hopper 26 is measured by the secondweight measuring device 36 on the side of themain hopper 26. Then, when the weight of the medicine stored in themain hopper 26 matches or substantially matches the value obtained by subtracting the target discharge amount from the original weight G, the discharging of the powder from themedicine container 30 is stopped. More specifically, when the patient's one-time dose is reached, theexcitation components 22a and 22b are stopped, thereby stopping the discharge of the powder from themedicine container 30.

第9圖所示之藥劑配發裝置71為第5圖所示之藥劑配發裝置51之變形,且在容器移動裝置5中未設置重量測量裝置(第一重量測量裝置25)。其他構成同藥劑配發裝置51。Themedicine dispensing device 71 shown in FIG. 9 is a modification of themedicine dispensing device 51 shown in FIG. 5, and the weight measuring device (the first weight measuring device 25) is not provided in thecontainer moving device 5. The other configuration is the same as that of themedicine dispensing device 51.

另外,本發明亦可應用於本申請人開發之揭示於專利文獻2之藥劑配發裝置。In addition, the present invention can also be applied to the medicine dispensing device disclosed inPatent Document 2 developed by the applicant.

即,亦可如第10圖所示之藥劑配發裝置71那樣,在分配盤61的周圍設置容器載置裝置(容器設置臺)80。容器載置裝置80具有振動臺72。That is, like themedicine dispensing device 71 shown in FIG. 10, a container placement device (container installation stand) 80 may be provided around thedistribution tray 61. Thecontainer mounting device 80 has a vibration table 72.

容器載置裝置80作為設置藥劑容器30用的容器設置臺而發揮作用。容器載置裝置80設有振動臺72,具有使散劑從藥劑容器30排出之排出結構。如第11圖、第12圖及第13圖所示,容器載置裝置80具有振動臺72和直接或間接地測量藥劑容器30的重量之重量測量裝置76。另外,設有未圖示之落下確認感測器。Thecontainer mounting device 80 functions as a container mounting table for mounting themedicine container 30. Thecontainer placement device 80 is provided with a vibrating table 72 and has a discharge structure for discharging the powder from themedicine container 30. As shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, and FIG. 13, thecontainer mounting device 80 has a vibrating table 72 and aweight measuring device 76 that directly or indirectly measures the weight of themedicine container 30. In addition, a drop confirmation sensor (not shown) is provided.

振動臺72設置有將藥劑容器30暫時固定於振動臺72之容器保持組件。容器保持組件具體為磁鐵74a、74b。在振動臺72的兩端以傾斜姿勢安裝有激振組件78。激振組件78具體為壓電元件。落下確認感測器例如為光電感測器,且是用於確認藥劑是否被從藥劑容器30排出之感測器。The vibrating table 72 is provided with a container holding assembly for temporarily fixing themedicine container 30 to the vibrating table 72. The container holding components are specificallymagnets 74a and 74b.Exciting components 78 are installed at both ends of the vibration table 72 in an inclined posture. Theexcitation component 78 is specifically a piezoelectric element. The drop confirmation sensor is, for example, a photoelectric sensor, and is a sensor for confirming whether the medicine is discharged from themedicine container 30.

在本實施方式中,能夠將藥劑容器30載置於容器載置裝置80上,並透過使振動臺72振動而將藥劑從藥劑容器30中排出。另外,對於此時的藥劑容器30的重量變化,藉由重量測量裝置76進行檢測。In this embodiment, themedicine container 30 can be placed on thecontainer mounting device 80, and the medicine can be discharged from themedicine container 30 by vibrating the vibrating table 72. In addition, the weight change of themedicine container 30 at this time is detected by theweight measuring device 76.

藥劑配發裝置71中採用的容器移動裝置83,如第10圖所示具有第一重量測量裝置25。另外,如第10圖所示,藥劑配發裝置71所採用的容器移動裝置83中無激振組件,而具有容器保持掌部21和第一重量測量裝置25。Thecontainer moving device 83 used in themedicine dispensing device 71 has a firstweight measuring device 25 as shown in FIG. 10. In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, thecontainer moving device 83 used in themedicine dispensing device 71 does not have an excitation component, but has acontainer holding palm 21 and a firstweight measuring device 25.

本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置71也是根據處方自動地選出藥劑容器30。然後,藉由容器移動裝置83之手部18保持藥劑容器30,使臂等動作而將藥劑容器30載置於容器載置裝置80上。Themedicine dispensing device 71 of this embodiment also automatically selects themedicine container 30 based on the prescription. Then, themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 83 and the arm or the like is moved to place themedicine container 30 on thecontainer mounting device 80.

另外,在藉由容器移動裝置83輸送藥劑容器30的期間,藉由容器移動裝置83之第一重量測量裝置25對藥劑容器30的重量進行測量,在分配動作完成後,再次對藉由手部保持的藥劑容器30的重量進行測量,並將藥劑容器30的重量之差與藉由重量測量裝置76測量的總排出量進行比較而進行雙重檢查,由此能夠確保秤量值的可靠性,進而能夠對各重量測量裝置的調整不良情況或故障進行檢測。In addition, while themedicine container 30 is being transported by thecontainer moving device 83, the weight of themedicine container 30 is measured by the firstweight measuring device 25 of thecontainer moving device 83. After the dispensing action is completed, the weight of themedicine container 30 is measured again by the hand The weight of themedicine container 30 held is measured, and the difference between the weight of themedicine container 30 and the total discharge amount measured by theweight measuring device 76 are compared to perform a double check, thereby ensuring the reliability of the weighing value and thereby Detect the adjustment or malfunction of each weight measuring device.

在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置71之情況下,在將藥劑容器30載置於容器載置裝置80上之狀態下,使內裝於容器載置裝置80中的振動臺72振動。其結果是,藥劑容器30中的散劑緩慢地移動而被從藥劑容器30中排出並落入分配盤61中。In the case of themedicine dispensing device 71 of the present embodiment, the vibration table 72 incorporated in thecontainer mounting device 80 is vibrated in a state where themedicine container 30 is mounted on thecontainer mounting device 80. As a result, the powder in themedicine container 30 moves slowly and is discharged from themedicine container 30 and falls into thedistribution tray 61.

另外,在振動開始之後緊接著使分配盤61旋轉。此外,在振動開始之後緊接著藉由容器載置裝置80之重量測量裝置76對藥劑容器30的重量進行測量。在此期間,對藥劑容器30的重量進行監視,當散劑之總排出量變為所需的重量時,停止振動振動臺72。In addition, thedistribution disk 61 is rotated immediately after the start of the vibration. In addition, the weight of themedicine container 30 is measured by theweight measuring device 76 of thecontainer mounting device 80 immediately after the start of the vibration. During this period, the weight of themedicine container 30 is monitored, and when the total discharge amount of the powder becomes the required weight, the vibrating vibration table 72 is stopped.

之後的工序與先前技術相同,停止分配盤61的旋轉,使刮出結構66進入藥劑投入槽63內,然後使分配盤61僅旋轉與分配個數對應之角度,將藥劑刮攏至刮攏板67。然後,旋轉刮攏板67,並且藉由刮出板68將藥劑撈起而從分配盤61中排出藥劑,並將藥劑投入散劑投入料斗77中。當藥劑在散劑投入料斗77中下落並被輸送至包裝裝置6時,藉由包裝裝置6進行包裝。The subsequent steps are the same as the prior art. Stop the rotation of thedistribution plate 61, make the scrapingstructure 66 enter themedicine input tank 63, and then make thedistribution plate 61 rotate only at an angle corresponding to the number of distributions to scrape the medicine to thescraping plate 67. Then, thescraper 67 is rotated, and the drug is picked up by thescraper 68 to discharge the drug from thedistribution tray 61, and the drug is injected into thepowder injection hopper 77. When the medicine falls in thepowder injection hopper 77 and is conveyed to thepackaging device 6, thepackaging device 6 performs packaging.

依次重複該動作,將分配盤61內的藥劑全部排出,並分別藉由包裝裝置6進行包裝。This action is repeated in order to discharge all the medicines in thedistribution tray 61 and pack them by thepackaging device 6 respectively.

另外,也可以考慮第14圖所示之藥劑配發裝置81那樣的結構。In addition, a configuration like themedicine dispensing device 81 shown in Fig. 14 may also be considered.

藥劑配發裝置81不具有分配盤,而是從載置於容器載置裝置(容器設置臺)80上的藥劑容器30中將藥劑直接投入包裝裝置6中。Themedicine dispensing device 81 does not have a dispensing tray, and the medicine is directly injected into thepackaging device 6 from themedicine container 30 placed on the container mounting device (container setting table) 80.

容器載置裝置80與上述的容器載置裝置相同,具有振動臺72。容器載置裝置80具有直接或間接地測量藥劑容器30的重量之重量測量裝置。Thecontainer mounting device 80 is the same as the above-mentioned container mounting device, and has a vibrating table 72. Thecontainer mounting device 80 has a weight measuring device that directly or indirectly measures the weight of themedicine container 30.

藥劑配發裝置81中採用的容器移動裝置83如第14圖所示具有第一重量測量裝置25。即,藥劑配發裝置81中採用的容器移動裝置83具有容器保持掌部21和第一重量測量裝置(計量結構)25。容器移動裝置83中無激振組件。Thecontainer moving device 83 used in themedicine dispensing device 81 has a firstweight measuring device 25 as shown in FIG. 14. That is, thecontainer moving device 83 employed in themedicine dispensing device 81 has thecontainer holding palm 21 and the first weight measuring device (metering structure) 25. There is no excitation component in thecontainer moving device 83.

如第14圖(a)所示,本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置81也是根據處方自動地選出藥劑容器30。然後,藉由容器移動裝置83之手部18保持藥劑容器30,使臂等動作而將藥劑容器30載置於容器載置裝置80上。As shown in FIG. 14(a), themedicine dispensing device 81 of this embodiment also automatically selects themedicine container 30 based on the prescription. Then, themedicine container 30 is held by thehand 18 of thecontainer moving device 83 and the arm or the like is moved to place themedicine container 30 on thecontainer mounting device 80.

另外,在藉由容器移動裝置83輸送藥劑容器30的期間,藉由容器移動裝置83之第一重量測量裝置25對藥劑容器30的重量進行測量。In addition, while themedicine container 30 is being transported by thecontainer moving device 83, the weight of themedicine container 30 is measured by the firstweight measuring device 25 of thecontainer moving device 83.

在本實施方式之藥劑配發裝置81中,在將藥劑容器30載置於容器載置裝置80上之狀態下,使內裝於容器載置裝置80的振動臺72振動。其結果是,藥劑容器30中的散劑緩慢地移動而被從藥劑容器30中排出並落至包裝裝置6之散劑投入料斗77中(第14圖(b))。In themedicine dispensing device 81 of this embodiment, in a state where themedicine container 30 is mounted on thecontainer mounting device 80, the vibration table 72 incorporated in thecontainer mounting device 80 is vibrated. As a result, the powder in themedicine container 30 moves slowly, is discharged from themedicine container 30, and falls into thepowder input hopper 77 of the packaging device 6 (FIG. 14(b)).

而且,在此期間,藉由容器載置裝置80之重量測量裝置對藥劑容器30的重量進行監視,當散劑的排出量變為一次服用量時,停止振動振動臺72。During this period, the weight of themedicine container 30 is monitored by the weight measuring device of thecontainer mounting device 80, and when the discharge amount of the powder becomes the one-time dosage, the vibrating vibration table 72 is stopped.

對於已經投入包裝裝置6之散劑投入料斗77中的一次服用量之散劑,藉由包裝裝置6進行包裝。The one-time dosage of the powder that has been put into thepackaging device 6 into thehopper 77 is packaged by thepackaging device 6.

與此並行地,如第14圖(c)所示,藉由容器移動裝置83保持藥劑容器30,驅動容器移動裝置83而將藥劑容器30暫時從容器載置裝置(容器設置臺)80上移開。然後,藉由容器移動裝置83之第一重量測量裝置25再次對藥劑容器30的重量進行測量。In parallel with this, as shown in FIG. 14(c), themedicine container 30 is held by thecontainer moving device 83, and thecontainer moving device 83 is driven to temporarily move themedicine container 30 from the container mounting device (container setting table) 80 open. Then, the firstweight measuring device 25 of thecontainer moving device 83 measures the weight of themedicine container 30 again.

再次測量後的藥劑容器30的重量相對於先前的測量值應只減少一次服用量的重量,當兩者之差與一次服用量的散劑的重量相比相差規定量以上時,進行規定的錯誤顯示。The weight of themedicine container 30 after the re-measurement should only be reduced by the weight of the one-time dose relative to the previous measured value. When the difference between the two is more than the specified amount compared with the weight of the one-time dose of the powder, the specified error display is displayed .

亦可對再次測量後的藥劑容器30的重量與容器載置裝置80之重量測量裝置的檢測重量進行比較。此時,兩者的重量應該相同,當兩者之差為規定值以上時,進行規定的錯誤顯示。It is also possible to compare the weight of themedicine container 30 after the re-measurement with the detected weight of the weight measuring device of thecontainer mounting device 80. At this time, the weight of the two should be the same, and when the difference between the two is more than the specified value, the specified error display will be performed.

在無異常的情況下,驅動容器移動裝置83再次將藥劑容器30載置於容器載置裝置80上。然後,重複前述的一系列動作,而將包裝有一次服用量散劑的包裝藥劑排出規定包數。If there is no abnormality, thecontainer moving device 83 is driven to place themedicine container 30 on thecontainer mounting device 80 again. Then, the aforementioned series of actions are repeated, and the packaged medicines packed with a single dose of powder are discharged out of the prescribed number of packets.

在以上所說明的實施方式中係透過振動使藥劑從藥劑容器30中排出,但也能夠採用藉由螺桿或葉片等使藥劑從藥劑容器中排出這一結構。該情況下,將螺桿等內裝於藥劑容器中,並從容器移動裝置5、83側對藥劑容器內的螺桿等傳遞動力。In the embodiment described above, the medicine is discharged from themedicine container 30 through vibration, but it is also possible to adopt a structure in which the medicine is discharged from the medicine container by a screw, a blade, or the like. In this case, a screw or the like is contained in the medicine container, and power is transmitted to the screw or the like in the medicine container from the side of thecontainer moving devices 5 and 83.

在上述各實施方式中,容器移動裝置5為機械手,但本發明並不限於該結構,亦可使X-Y工作臺或X-Y-Z工作臺等物件進行平面移動或立體地移動。In each of the above embodiments, thecontainer moving device 5 is a manipulator, but the present invention is not limited to this structure, and objects such as an X-Y table or an X-Y-Z table can also be moved in a plane or three-dimensionally.

另外,容器移動裝置亦可為使用傳送帶等的裝置。In addition, the container moving device may be a device using a conveyor belt or the like.
