Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to positively detect an erroneous arrangement by the minimum numbers of detecting means by identifying different identification plates located in either a vertical or a lateral row in such a way as to optically detect the erroneous arrangement based on the difference caused by the combination of the transparent and light covering sections of the plates. CONSTITUTION:The combination of the transparent and light covering sections of identification plates Cij and Rij must be one of patterns having two redundancies. When either of the identification plates is therefore optically inserted, the transparent sections more than one are covered by all means. Since each of the vertical and lateral identification plates Cij and Rij takes exclusively either of bit patterns of the vertical and lateral directions, when an error is committed in either of the vertical and lateral directions against an arrangement determined in advance, the error is detected at once. The error in the arrangement of one container out of 80 each=8X10 each can therefore be detected by only 55 sets of identification sensors. As a result, the erroneous arrangement of one tablet container is prevented, safety for automatic separate wrapping can thereby be considerably enhanced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for detecting errors in the arrangement of a plurality of containers arranged vertically and horizontally within a housing.

[従来の技術] 多数の容器を縦横に誤りなく配列しなければならないと

[Prior Art] There is a demand in various industrial fields to arrange a large number of containers vertically and horizontally without error.

For example, in the field of dispensing tablets by storing a plurality of types of tablets in a large number of tablet containers, it is desirable that predetermined tablets are always arranged in predetermined locations to prevent dispensing errors. Furthermore, in a device that automatically divides and packages tablets, it is necessary to eject the tablets stored in the tablet storage container without error based on instructions from a computer, etc. To do this, the tablet storage container must be placed without error. It won't happen.

Therefore, various proposals have been made in this field to prevent misalignment of containers. For example, it is known that the bottom surface of a tablet container is provided with unevenness having a shape unique to each container, and the arrangement shelf is provided with corresponding unevenness to prevent incorrect arrangement by mechanical fitting.

Further, in order to prevent erroneous alignment, devices for detecting erroneous alignment have also been proposed. For example, a permanent magnet that generates a magnetic field is placed on the bottom of the tablet container, and a Hall element that detects the magnetic field is installed on the array shelf to recognize each tablet case (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-82130). Public notices, etc.).

[The problem that the invention tries to solve! ] However, the conventional misalignment detection device has the following problems, and improvements in the negative layer have been desired.

(1) Mechanical methods for detecting and preventing misalignment require the bottom shape of each container to be different.
There was a problem in that it was difficult to standardize containers and change their arrangement. Furthermore, since the shape of each container must be changed, the shape becomes more complicated as the number of containers increases, and there is also the problem that inserting and arranging the containers becomes increasingly difficult.

(2) On the other hand, with a device that identifies containers using magnetic means, it is easy to increase the number of containers that can be identified by increasing the number of permanent magnets, but this also increases the number of parts and wires. This leads to new problems such as increased assembly man-hours and increased costs. For example, in order to identify 80 containers, at least 7 bits of information are required, so each sensor and wiring is 7X80=560! I
I have to prepare everything.
