" about elevator 252 "

At this, the above-mentioned elevator 252 be arranged on pallet distributor 250 is described in further detail.As shown in figure 17, elevator 252 is provided with the jaw members 270,270 of a pair setting of the left and right side along pallet distributor 250, thereby, it is possible to by utilize jaw members 270,270 from below support tray 40 edge 40a (with reference to Figure 20) and pallet 40 is supported generally horizontal.In addition, elevator 252 is provided with the travel mechanism (not shown) making jaw members 270,270 movement upward.Therefore, by making a pair jaw members 270,270 supported by pallet 40 from both sides move upward, pallet 40 can be made to move upward under the state that maintenance is generally horizontal.

At this, as shown in (a) in Figure 20, jaw members 270 is supported for can rotate centered by bolster 270a.Jaw members 270 is applied active force by (not shown) such as springs, and to make jaw members 270, its leading section 270b is outstanding towards space (the tray arrangement space 250a) side being configured with pallet 40 from the side of pallet distributor 250 under normal conditions.In the normal state, namely generally horizontal the and leading section 270b of jaw members 270 is towards under the outstanding state in 250a side, tray arrangement space for jaw members 270, in its terminal part 270c and the state that abuts against of the medial surface of pallet distributor 250.

When in pallet distributor 250 by be configured in pallet standby unit 258 pallet 40 lifting time, under the state that the generally horizontal and leading section 270b of jaw members 270 is outstanding towards 250a side, tray arrangement space, jaw members 270 is declined.Thus, jaw members 270 is formed first from the state that top abuts with the edge 40a of pallet 40.Then, when making jaw members 270 decline further, jaw members 270 is rotated centered by bolster 270a, and is formed as Suo Shi (a) in Figure 20 by the state of the edge 40a pushing and withstanding of pallet 40.When making jaw members 270 cross the edge 40a of pallet 40 and drop to lower side position further when keeping this state, by acting on the active force in jaw members 270, jaw members 270 is made to become original approximate horizontal attitude.Thus, become and utilize jaw members 270 from below by state that the edge 40a of pallet 40 is supported.

At this, as shown in (b) in Figure 20, when supposing the shape being formed as being given prominence to towards 250a side, tray arrangement space by the state lower end portions 270c of pushing and withstanding in jaw members 270, the medicine box (being equivalent to the rectangle of painted black in figure) likely can accommodated in pallet 40 goes wrong when 40a side, edge is given prominence to.Specifically, make in order to lifting pallet 40 stage that jaw members 270 declines from top, when first jaw members 270 abuts with the medicine box outstanding towards 40a side, edge instead of abut with edge 40a, in jaw members, 270 by the state of medicine box pushing and withstanding.Now, if terminal part 270c gives prominence to towards 250a side, tray arrangement space, then terminal part 270c can disturb with the edge 40a of pallet 40, thus has that become cannot this probability of state of normal lifting pallet 40.Therefore, in order to eliminate this probability, jaw members 270 is preferably formed to: even if be that terminal part 270c also can not give prominence to this shape towards 250a side, tray arrangement space by under the state of pushing and withstanding as shown in (d) in Figure 20.Thus, even if the edge 40a that medicine box compares pallet 40 gives prominence to more toward the outer side, jaw members 270 also can not be disturbed with the edge 40a of pallet 40, thus can reliably lifting pallet 40.

" the handing-over window 60 about the prescription that finishes "

Above-mentioned medicament dispensing system 10 also can be configured to: at handing-over window 60 place of the prescription that finishes, and is provided with and can piles up utilizing conveyer device 80 successively and the pallet storage appts 300 (accepting container storage appts) taken care of (with reference to Figure 21) from the pallet 40 that medicine box allocation device 30 side transports.Specifically, pallet storage appts 300 is provided with pallet arrival portion 304, this pallet arrival portion 304 is arranged to via the receiving port 302 being located at pallet storage appts 300 side and is connected with the terminal part of conveyer device 80.

Pallet storage appts 300 is provided with elevator 306, thus can arrives the pallet 40 lifting also keeping upward successively in pallet arrival portion 304, wherein, elevator 306 has the formation identical with the elevator 252 of above-mentioned pallet distributor 250.In addition, in pallet arrival portion 304, be provided with and can carry out the information communication terminal 308 of information communication with the storage medium 44 installed on pallet 40.Therefore, by the communication between storage medium 44 and information communication terminal 308, the pallet which prescription the pallet 40 arriving pallet arrival portion 304 is can be grasped exactly.

Pallet storage appts 300 be configured in as finish prescription with and between adjacent two handing-over windows 60,60 of arranging (in the example in figure 2 between handing-over window 60a, 60b and join between window 60i, 60j), therefore, it is possible to jointly use this pallet storage appts 300 at two handing-over window 60,60 places.That is, pallet storage appts 300 opens wide towards two handing-over window 60,60 sides, can take out with the pallet 40 of stacking states keeping from wherein arbitrary handing-over window 60,60 side.

At this, in the pallet storage appts 300 shown in Figure 21, at the storage position place of each pallet 40 piled up along the vertical direction, be provided with the notifying device 310 of the correlation circumstance for notifying the pallet 40 of keeping in this position.In the example shown in Figure 21, as notifying device 310, employ the light-emitting devices such as such as light emitting diode (LED), the correlation circumstance can distinguishing pallet 40 according to luminance is gone forward side by side to work and is known.Specifically, by making notifying device 310 in green flicker, and carry out instruction and take out pallet 40 this notice, by making notifying device 310 in green bright light, notify that this prescription involved by pallet 40 is segmentation prescription and waits for this situation of state of other pallets 40 of segmentation prescription.

In addition, in pallet storage appts 300, by making notifying device 310 take on a red color bright light, this pallet 40 should take out this situation notice for not quite clear pallet of prescription etc. can be carried out.Specifically, even the pallet 40 of keeping in pallet storage appts 300, once return again after extracting out from pallet storage appts 300, also there is the probability being placed into the medicine box different from prescription etc.In this case, when also not sending any warning under the state putting into mistake, the medicine box etc. put into after likely producing is joined this situation by mistake.Therefore, in pallet storage appts 300, when again returning in pallet storage appts 300 have passed through some process after being estimated as pallet 40 and temporarily extracting out from pallet storage appts 300 after, notifying device 310 is taken on a red color bright light and giving a warning.In the present embodiment, after temporarily extracting out from pallet storage appts 300 using pallet 40 to the time again returned pallet storage appts 300 for this situation more than stipulated time (such as 3 seconds) is as condition, regard as after pallet 40 may carry out some process after extracting out from pallet storage appts 300 and once more return, and notifying device 310 is taken on a red color bright light.At this, the condition that why will have passed through this situation of stipulated time more than after pallet 40 is extracted out and give notice as notifying device 310, be the notice in order to avoid also sending for following situation about pallet 40 is drawn out of, this situation refers to: discover to get wrong pallet 40 after immediately pallet 40 to be returned safely in pallet storage appts 300 this situation clearly.

Notifying device 310 is arranged at each storage position place on two sides (two handing-over window 60,60 sides), thus the information that can notify about pallet 40 accordingly to each handing-over window 60,60.Specifically, be contain when joining the pallet 40 of the medicine box that window 60a top-cross connect, to make the notifying device 310 of handing-over window 60a side in green flicker at pallet, and for the notifying device 310 of another adjacent handing-over window 60b side, then make its not bright light.Thereby, it is possible to whether intuitively and reliably grasp a certain pallet of keeping in pallet storage appts 300 40 is that contain should at the pallet of the medicine box of a certain handing-over window 60,60 place handing-over.Therefore, it is possible to utilize corresponding two windows of a pallet storage appts 300.

" piling up function about medicine box "

In above-mentioned medicament dispensing system 10, in order to shorten made up a prescription till required time, preferably from how can concentrate as soon as possible medicine box allocation device 30 be allotted to medicament collecting mechanism 128 from collecting allocation device 120 this viewpoint of medicine box in take certain methods.According to this viewpoint, also the formation of the above-mentioned medicament collecting mechanism 128 of medicine box allocation device 30 and action can be formed as follows.Below, this is described in detail.

In the example shown in Figure 22, be configured to medicament collecting mechanism 128 to be provided with main belt 330 and and that arrange lifting conveyer belt 332 adjacent with main belt 330.In addition, between main belt 330 and lifting conveyer belt 332, conveying flashboard 334 is provided with.By making conveying flashboard 334 in opened condition, medicine box can be made to move from main belt 330 side towards lifting conveyer belt 332 side.

Main belt 330 places from the collecting medicine box allotted out of allocation device 120 and carries out the conveyer belt that drives along general horizontal direction.Lifting conveyer belt 332 is that be arranged on downstream with conveyer belt that is main belt 330 adjacent position, and is configured to rise under the state being placed with medicine box or to decline.Therefore, by make the lifting conveyer belt 332 receiving medicine box rise rear drive lifting conveyer belt 332 conveyor surface, thus mouth 180 can be allotted from medicament and allot medicine box, wherein, medicament allot mouth 180 as allot from medicine box allocation device 30 towards pallet 40 medicine box allocation mouth and be arranged on compare main belt 330 setting position more top position.That is, utilized by the medicine box allotted from collecting allocation device 120 main belt 330 to focus on after on lifting conveyer belt 332, pallet 40 can be dispensed to from lifting conveyer belt 332 quickly.

At this, when allotting medicine box from collecting allocation device 120 to main belt 330, conveyer belt 332 is elevated when being in lifting position when being elevated conveyer belt 332 and not being in the position adjacent with main belt 330, namely, if when not adding any consideration and drive main belt 330 to operate, can cause medicine box handing-over this situation bad to lifting conveyer belt 332 occurs.On the other hand, if made main belt 330 quit work completely before lifting conveyer belt 332 arrives down position, then the loss of time of respective degrees can be caused.

Therefore, when lifting conveyer belt 332 is in lifting position when allotting medicine box from collecting allocation device 120 to main belt 330, the action (medicine box accumulation action) in advance medicine box being delivered to conveying flashboard 334 vicinity is implemented.Then, in lifting conveyer belt 332 ready moment, be namely elevated the moment that conveyer belt 332 arrives down position, main belt 330 temporarily stopped and after opening and carrying flashboard 334, starts to carry out normal medicine box conveying.

When implementing medicine box and piling up action, by making the conveyor surface of main belt 330 carry out action with speed when being slower than normal conveying medicine box, thus reduce the load acted on conveying flashboard 334.Specifically, transporting velocity is reduced to such as about 1/2 ~ 1/3 of speed when normally carrying.In addition, about the conveying action of the main belt 330 implemented in order to medicine box piles up action, be come into effect in the moment allotting medicine box from collecting allocation device 120.Thus, even if when the passage being in hypomere side from the medicament channel 122 forming collecting allocation device 120 allots multiple medicine boxs etc., this phenomenon on the position, place that medicine box also can be avoided to be deposited on main belt 330.

In addition, after implementing medicine box accumulation action, by making main belt 330 carry out action with normal transporting velocity, medicine box is joined from main belt 330 to lifting conveyer belt 332.The driving time of main belt 330 now, can shorten according to the time making main belt 330 work to implement medicine box to pile up action (piling up required time ts).Namely, by under the normal condition piling up action without medicine box in order to lifting conveyer belt 332 is joined medicine box and the working time of required main belt 330 be set as normal required time T1 time, implement after medicine box piles up action and shorten in order to the working time (during accumulation required time T2) joining medicine box and required main belt 330 to lifting conveyer belt 332 compares normal required time T1.By regulating this shortening amount according to accumulation required time ts, reliably can join medicine box from main belt 330 to lifting conveyer belt 332, and the time needed for series of actions can be suppressed subthreshold.

" the medicine box random arrangement function about on lifting conveyer belt "

As mentioned above, medicament dispensing system 10 can be configured to make medicament collecting mechanism 128 to have main belt 330 and and that arrange lifting conveyer belt 332 adjacent with main belt 330.At this, when transferring to the medicine box on lifting conveyer belt 332 along throughput direction arranged in series, the medicine box quantity that can be placed on lifting conveyer belt 332 is extremely limited.Therefore, the medicine box be preferably placed on lifting conveyer belt 332 is random arrangement.

In order to tackle this requirement, after having carried out medicine box being transferred to the action lifting conveyer belt 332 from main belt 330, stop by making main belt 330 and the conveyor surface of lifting conveyer belt 332 is moved back and forth towards upstream side (main belt 330 side) and downstream, medicine box can be made thus to be arranged in randomly on lifting conveyer belt 332.In addition, by the boundary between main belt 330 and lifting conveyer belt 332, staggered floor or slope are set, or, boundary between main belt 330 with lifting conveyer belt 332 or be hung with the curtain etc. contacted with medicine box in the throughput direction pars intermedia position being elevated conveyer belt 332, thus can further random alignment medicine box.

" about prescription segmentation "

In medicament dispensing system 10, can implement the medicine box of a prescription to be divided in multiple pallet 40 according to the capacity of pallet 40 and carry out the segmentation prescription (hereinafter also referred to as " pallet segmentation prescription ") allotted.In addition, when being provided with main belt 330 and lifting conveyer belt 332 as described above as medicament collecting mechanism 128, following segmentation prescription can be implemented, this segmentation prescription refers to: with the conveyor surface area being elevated conveyer belt 332 for standard meter calculates can be placed thereon medicine box quantity, make lifting conveyer belt 332 be divided into as required and repeatedly work and carry out allotting this segmentation prescription (hereinafter also referred to as " conveyer belt segmentation prescription ").

At this, when stating conveyer belt segmentation prescription on the implementation, even if existing concentrates in single pallet 40 by medicine box, also in the situation of the state of the post processing that can carry out without any problems, if but ignore this situation and be all separately dispensed into different pallets 40 when utilizing lifting conveyer belt 332 to allot each time, then the probability that the quantity that there is pallet 40 increases.Relative to this, when the total volume carrying out the medicine box of prescription segmentation in conveyer belt segmentation prescription mode be greater than with pallet 40 capacity for standard and the setting that sets (such as, 1/4 of pallet capacity) time, likely produce following problems, that is: medicine box overflows and waits and the problem to drop from pallet 40 in unexpected place at process Chinese medicine box afterwards etc. from pallet 40.

In order to tackle the problems referred to above, when implementing conveyer belt segmentation prescription, preferably change pallet 40 using any one situation met in following two kinds of situations as condition, these two kinds of situations refer to: utilize lifting conveyer belt 332 number of times that carries out allotting to reach stipulated number (such as twice) this situation and the total volume that is put into the medicine box in single pallet 40 has exceeded regulation ratio (such as 1/4) this situation relative to the capacity of pallet 40.

Specifically, when implementing conveyer belt segmentation prescription, often implement just to change this situation of pallet 40 for twice as principle using the allocation utilizing lifting conveyer belt 332 to carry out, and, even if do not reach twice (namely in the allocation utilizing lifting conveyer belt 332 to carry out, once) but put into medicine box in pallet 40 and amount to volume when having exceeded 1/4 of pallet 40 capacity, also pallet 40 is changed.Thus, when implementing conveyer belt segmentation prescription, although can suppress to there is remaining space in pallet 40 also ignore this situation and change pallet 40 redundantly, thus carry out the operation of being concentrated the medicine box that is put in each pallet 40, and medicine box unfavorable condition such as spilling from pallet 40 can be prevented.

Below, with reference to the flow chart shown in Figure 23, above-mentioned a series of action is described in detail.In addition, in the flow chart shown in the following description and Figure 23, " Nb " refers to the segmentation number (conveyer belt segmentation number) when implementing conveyer belt segmentation prescription, and " Ns " refers to the segmentation number (pallet segmentation number) when implementing pallet segmentation prescription.In addition, " At " refers to the summation (gross area) of the contact area of all medicine boxs be placed on lifting conveyer belt 332, and " Vt " refers to the volume (cumulative volume) of all medicine boxs be placed on lifting conveyer belt 332.In addition, " box area (i) " represents the area of No. i-th medicine box, and " box body amasss (i) " represents the volume of No. i-th medicine box.In addition, the higher limit of the medicine box area that lifting conveyer belt 332 can be placed is defined as 1/2 of the area of the conveyor surface forming lifting conveyer belt 332, and, the higher limit of the medicine box volume can put in pallet 40 is defined as 1/4 of pallet 40 capacity.In addition, " box Nb (i) " represents the conveyer belt segmentation number of the lifting conveyer belt 332 involved by No. i-th medicine box, and " box Ns (i) " represents the pallet segmentation number involved by No. i-th medicine box.

As follows when under these conditions the flow chart of Figure 23 being described.First, in step 5-1, initial setting is carried out.That is, the number i of medicine box, conveyer belt segmentation number Nb and pallet segmentation number Ns are all set as 1 respectively, and, gross area At and cumulative volume Vt is set as 0.Then, in step 5-2, carry out gross area At to be updated to and suppose area (At+ box area (i)) this calculation process after adding No. i-th medicine box area.Then, in step 5-3, whether the aggregate value of the gross area At confirming to derive in step 5-2, area when being placed on lifting conveyer belt 332 by No. i-th medicine box reaches the area upper limit of setting in advance.At this, do not reach on area and prescribe a time limit, the step 5-4 described in detail after control flow enters at gross area At, prescribe a time limit when gross area At reaches on area, control flow enters step 5-9.

When control flow enters step 5-9, carry out the process segmentation number of lifting conveyer belt 332 being added " 1 ".That is, in step 5-9, utilization lifting conveyer belt 332 is split the number of times increase of conveying once.In addition, process gross area At being set as 0 is carried out.That is, in order to leading-out needle is to the placement condition of the lifting conveyer belt 332 involved by the segmentation number newly increased, and (reset, clearing) gross area At is reseted.Then, in step 5-10, confirm whether conveyer belt segmentation number Nb is greater than " 2 ".At this, when conveyer belt segmentation number Nb is greater than " 2 ", the step 5-11 described in detail after control flow enters, when conveyer belt segmentation number for " 2 " below time enter step 5-4.

When control flow enters step 5-4 from above-mentioned steps 5-3 or step 5-10, carry out volume (Vt+ box body amasss (i)) this calculation process after cumulative volume Vt being updated to the volume adding No. i-th medicine box.That is, carry out deriving this calculation process of cumulative volume when No. i-th medicine box is placed on lifting conveyer belt 332 by hypothesis.Then, in step 5-5, confirm whether the cumulative volume Vt after adding No. i-th medicine box exceedes volume upper limit.At this, when cumulative volume Vt is below volume upper limit, the step 5-6 described in detail after control flow enters, when cumulative volume Vt exceedes volume upper limit, control flow enters step 5-11.

When being judged as having exceeded volume upper limit because adding No. i-th medicine box in step 5-5, need to carry out the process (the pallet segmentation prescription) pallet 40 being used for the medicine box put into involved by this prescription being increased by.So, in this case, control flow enters step 5-11, increasing except the calculation process (Ns=Ns+1) of " 1 " except carrying out pallet being split number Ns, also carrying out making conveyer belt split number and revert to the process of " 1 " and gross area At and cumulative volume Vt reverted to the process of " 0 ".Then, control flow enters step 5-6.

When control flow enters step 5-6 from above-mentioned steps 5-5 or step 5-11, conveyer belt segmentation number Nb (i) relevant for No. i-th medicine box and pallet segmentation number Ns (i) are set as respectively conveyer belt segmentation number Nb and pallet segmentation number Ns.Then, in step 5-7, carry out process medicine box number i being increased " 1 ", and in step 5-8, whether the medicine box number i derived in confirmation step 5-7 has exceeded the medicine box number that prescription is outputed.At this, when medicine box number i is below the medicine box number outputed of prescription, control flow returns step 5-2.On the other hand, when medicine box number i exceedes the medicine box number that prescription outputs, a series of control flow is terminated.

In addition, for above-mentioned conveyer belt segmentation prescription, even if when the medicine box of quantity once being carried all to put into still there is the marginal space can putting into medicine box in this pallet 40 in pallet 40 by utilization lifting conveyer belt 332, can utilize lifting conveyer belt 332 that the residue medicine box involved by same prescription is directly put into above-mentioned pallet 40 without the need to changing pallet 40.Therefore, the medicine box quantity utilizing lifting conveyer belt 332 to carry at the capacity relative to pallet 40 is few, conveyer belt segmentation prescription is effective method.

Relative to this, the medicine box quantity utilizing lifting conveyer belt 332 to carry at the capacity relative to pallet 40 is many, if because lifting conveyer belt 332 can be placed and placed a large amount of medicine box and be dispensed in single pallet 40, then there is the probability that medicine box overflows from pallet 40.Therefore, the medicine box quantity utilizing lifting conveyer belt 332 to carry is many, preferably as above-mentioned pallet segmentation prescription, the medicine box partition of a prescription can be dealt in multiple pallet 40 at the capacity relative to pallet 40.Specifically, when any one in the gross area or cumulative volume of the medicine box of a prescription exceedes setting, the volume of preferred consideration pallet 40 and limit the medicine box quantity be once placed on lifting conveyer belt 332, changes pallet 40 and uses lifting conveyer belt 332 to be put in pallet 40 by medicine box.

Further specifically, when supposing the medicine box of a prescription to be configured on lifting conveyer belt 332, to meet any conditioned disjunction two condition in following (decision condition 1) and (decision condition 2) as condition, place the mode of conditions with any one or two met in following (place condition 1) and (placing condition 2), the medicine box of a prescription is divided into repeatedly be placed on and is elevated on conveyer belt 332.When placing medicine box on lifting conveyer belt 332, just implement the action allotting medicine box to pallet 40 at every turn.In addition, when allotting medicine box from lifting conveyer belt 332, just prepare empty pallet 40 at every turn.

The gross area of contact area that (decision condition 1) medicine box and lifting conveyer belt 332 contact exceedes with pallet 40 size for standard and the regulation area upper limit that sets.

The cumulative volume of the medicine box of (decision condition 2) a prescription exceedes the prescribed volume upper limit set for standard with pallet 40 size.

The contact area of the medicine box that (placing condition 1) is once placed on lifting conveyer belt 332 is less than the area upper limit.

The volume of the medicine box that (placing condition 2) is once placed on lifting conveyer belt 332 is less than volume upper limit.

When consider as above pallet 40 volume and the medicine box quantity be once placed on lifting conveyer belt 332 is limited and be divided into repeatedly allot medicine box to pallet 40 time, can prevent from from pallet 40, overflowing this situation by put in pallet 40 medicine box of lifting conveyer belt 332.
