Abstract

Provided is a medicine dispensing system that is capable of putting a precise amount of medicine in a package for one dose even when the amount of one dose (one package) and the number of individual doses are small. This medicine dispensing system has a medicine feeder (5) for discharging a powdered medicine, a dispensing tray (201), a scraping-out device (600), and a medicine packaging device (410). In a distributed arrangement mode, when dropping the medicine onto the dispensing tray (201) from a medicine container (2), only one dose of medicine is dropped into a medicine loading groove (208) of the dispensing tray (201) without rotating the dispensing tray (201). Once the one dose of medicine is dropped, the discharging of the medicine is interrupted, and the dispensing tray (201) is slightly rotated. This process is repeated to form a powdered medicine group comprising three mounds (22, 23, 24) on the groove surfaces of the dispensing tray (201). Subsequently, a scraping-out mechanism (606) is moved into the medicine loading groove (208) of the dispensing tray (201) in order to scrape out the medicine.

Description

薬剤払出し装置及び薬剤払出し方法Drug dispensing apparatus and drug dispensing method
　本発明は、薬剤払出し装置に関するものであり、特に散薬を分配する分配皿を備えた薬剤払出し装置に関するものである。また本発明は、薬剤を払い出す方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a medicine dispensing apparatus, and more particularly to a medicine dispensing apparatus provided with a distribution tray for distributing powder. The present invention also relates to a method for dispensing a medicine.
　近年、大病院や、大規模の薬局では、散薬分包装置や散薬分包機能を備えた薬剤払出し装置が導入されている。ここで散薬分包装置とは、処方情報に基づいて散薬を一服用分ずつ個別に包装する装置である。散薬分包装置を使用すれば、散薬を一服用分ずつ包装する作業の大半を自動化することができる。
　特許文献１に開示された散薬分包装置９００は、散薬を一服用分ずつ個別に包装する装置であり、図１４の様に、内部に粉体フィーダ９０１と、散薬分配装置９０２と、薬剤包装装置９０３とを有している。
　粉体フィーダ９０１は、ホッパー９０５及びトラフ９１０を有している。トラフ９１０の下には図示しない圧電素子が設けられており、トラフ９１０を振動させることができる。 In recent years, large hospitals and large-scale pharmacies have introduced powder dispensing devices and drug dispensing devices having a powder dispensing function. Here, the powder medicine packaging device is an apparatus for individually packaging powder medicines for each dose based on prescription information. If you use a powder packaging device, you can automate most of the work of packing powder for each dose.
The powder packaging device 900 disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a device for individually packaging powder for each dose. As shown in FIG. 14, a powder feeder 901, a powder distribution device 902, and a medicine packaging are contained therein. Device 903.
The powder feeder 901 has a hopper 905 and a trough 910. A piezoelectric element (not shown) is provided under the trough 910, and the trough 910 can be vibrated.
　散薬分配装置９０２は、図１４の様に、分配皿９１２と、掻出装置９１５によって構成されている。分配皿９１２は、中央に大きな開口を有している。また分配皿９１２は、前記した開口の周囲を、断面が円弧状であって、平面視が環状の溝９１６が取り巻いている。分配皿９１２は、モータ９１９によって回転可能である。分配皿９１２は、一定の回転速度で連続して回転させることもできるし、一定の回転角度に限定して回動させることもできる。
　掻出装置９１５は、回動させることによって先端が昇降する昇降アームと、掻出機構とによって構成されている。
　掻出機構９１５は、モータによって回転するディスク状の掻寄板９１７を有し、当該掻寄板９１７に掻出板９１８が設けられたものである。 As shown in FIG. 14, the powder distribution device 902 includes a distribution tray 912 and a scraping device 915. The distribution tray 912 has a large opening at the center. In addition, the distribution tray 912 is surrounded by a groove 916 having a circular cross section and an annular shape in plan view around the opening. The distribution tray 912 can be rotated by a motor 919. The distribution tray 912 can be continuously rotated at a constant rotation speed, or can be rotated only at a constant rotation angle.
The scraping device 915 includes a lifting arm whose tip is lifted and lowered by rotating, and a scraping mechanism.
The scraping mechanism 915 has a disk-shaped scraping plate 917 that is rotated by a motor, and the scraping plate 917 is provided with a scraping plate 918.
　薬剤包装装置９０３は、図１４の様に包装用ホッパー９２０と、包装装置９２１によって構成されている。 The medicine packaging device 903 is composed of a packaging hopper 920 and a packaging device 921 as shown in FIG.
　次に、散薬分包装置９００を使用して散薬を分包する場合の手順について説明する。
　散薬を分包する作業は、医師の処方箋に従い、薬剤師が散薬分包装置９００を操作して行う。即ち薬剤師は、医師の処方箋を確認し、図示しない薬棚から、処方された散薬が入った薬瓶を取り出す。そして天秤等の秤を使用して処方された特定の散薬の総重量を量り出す。例えば一服用分が３ｇであり、朝、昼、夜と一日３回服用し、７日間服用するのであれば、６３ｇの散薬を量り出す。
　そして量り出された散薬が、粉体フィーダ９０１のホッパー９０５に投入される。
　また同時に、粉体フィーダ９０１の圧電素子（図示せず）に通電してトラフ９１０を振動させ、さらに、分配皿９１２を一定の回転速度で連続的に回転させる。
　ホッパー９０５に投入された散薬は、ホッパー９０５の下端の開口から粉体フィーダ９０１のトラフ９１０に落ちる。そしてトラフ９１０が振動することによって、散薬は、ゆっくりと先端側に移動し、分配皿９１２に落下する。 Next, the procedure in the case of packaging a powder using the powder packaging apparatus 900 is demonstrated.
The operation of packaging the powder is performed by the pharmacist operating the powder packaging device 900 in accordance with a doctor's prescription. That is, the pharmacist confirms the doctor's prescription and takes out the medicine bottle containing the prescribed powder from a medicine shelf (not shown). Then, the total weight of the specific powder prescribed using a balance such as a balance is measured. For example, if the dose is 3g, if you take it three times a day in the morning, noon, and night, and take it for seven days, weigh out 63g of powder.
Then, the weighed powder is put into the hopper 905 of the powder feeder 901.
Simultaneously, the piezoelectric element (not shown) of the powder feeder 901 is energized to vibrate the trough 910, and the distribution tray 912 is continuously rotated at a constant rotational speed.
The powder charged in the hopper 905 falls from the opening at the lower end of the hopper 905 to the trough 910 of the powder feeder 901. Then, as the trough 910 vibrates, the powder slowly moves to the tip side and falls to the distribution tray 912.
　一方、分配皿９１２は、所定の速度で連続的に回転しているので、トラフ９１０から落下する散薬は、分配皿９１２の溝９１６に均等に分散される。 On the other hand, since the distribution tray 912 continuously rotates at a predetermined speed, the powder falling from the trough 910 is evenly distributed in the grooves 916 of the distribution tray 912.
　分配皿９１２に対する散薬の落下が終了すると、分配皿９１２の回転を停止する。そしてその後に、掻出装置９１５の掻寄板９１７を分配皿９１２の溝９１６内に落とす。さらにその後、分配皿９１２を分配個数に応じた角度だけ回転させ、一服用分の散薬を掻寄板９１７の前面側に集める。そして掻寄板９１７を回転し、掻出板９１８によって散薬を分配皿９１２の外に掻き出して、包装用ホッパー９２０に投入する。包装用ホッパー９２０から落下した散薬は、包装装置９２１で包装される。 When the dropping of the powder on the distribution tray 912 is completed, the rotation of the distribution tray 912 is stopped. Thereafter, the scraping plate 917 of the scraping device 915 is dropped into the groove 916 of the distribution tray 912. After that, the distribution tray 912 is rotated by an angle corresponding to the number of distributions, and a single dose of powder is collected on the front side of the scraping plate 917. Then, the scraping plate 917 is rotated, and the powder is scraped out of the distribution tray 912 by the scraping plate 918 and put into the packaging hopper 920. The powder falling from the packaging hopper 920 is packaged by the packaging device 921.
　また特許文献２には、服用時期によって散薬の処方量が異なる様に入力するこができ、一包みの包装に含まれる散薬の量に変化を付ける方法が開示されている。
　特許文献２に開示された方法は、分配皿９１２を回転して、一服用分の散薬を掻寄板９１７の前面側に集める際、分配皿９１２の回転量（回転角度）を処方された量に応じて異ならせ、掻寄板９１７の前面側に集まる散薬量に変化を付けるものである。
　特許文献２に開示された方法によると、朝服用分１．２グラム、昼服用分１．２グラム、夜服用分２．４グラムという様な不均等処方に対応して散薬を包装することができる。 Patent Document 2 discloses a method for changing the amount of powder contained in a single package so that the prescription amount of powder varies depending on the dose.
In the method disclosed in Patent Document 2, when the dispensing tray 912 is rotated and the powder for one dose is collected on the front side of the scraping plate 917, the rotation amount (rotation angle) of the dispensing tray 912 is prescribed. The amount of powdered powder collected on the front side of the scraping plate 917 is changed.
According to the method disclosed in Patent Document 2, powders can be packaged in accordance with non-uniform prescriptions such as 1.2 grams for morning use, 1.2 grams for lunch, and 2.4 grams for night use. it can.

　しかしながら従来技術の散薬分包装置９００は、一服（一包み）の容量が少なく、且つ２服用分や、３服用分という様な包みの数が少ない場合の分包は得意ではない。
　例えば、小児用に処方する薬剤は、一服用分の薬剤が１ｇ以下の場合が多く、０．３ｇという様な極少量の薬剤を飲ませる場合も珍しくはない。
　また小児は、自身の病状を正確に医師に伝えることができないので、医師は適切な薬剤を選ぶことが難しい。そのため医師は、日々、処方する薬剤の種類や量を換え、小児患者の容態を観察して、適切な薬剤を選ぶ場合が多い。
　この様な場合、医師は、一日毎に処方を変更することとなり、例えば朝、昼、夜と、３回服用する薬剤であるならば、３包分の処方を出す。そして薬剤師は、散薬分包装置９００を使用し、処方箋に従って３包の薬剤を準備する。 The powder medicine packaging device 900 of the prior art exerts its power when the powder medicine is divided into a large number and packaged. In addition, it is preferably used when a single dose is large.
However, the powdered medicine packaging device 900 of the prior art is not good at packaging when the capacity of one dose (one package) is small and the number of packages such as two doses or three doses is small.
For example, medicines prescribed for children often have a dose of 1 g or less, and it is not uncommon to take a very small amount of medicine such as 0.3 g.
In addition, since children cannot accurately communicate their medical condition to doctors, it is difficult for doctors to select appropriate drugs. Therefore, doctors often change the types and amounts of prescription drugs every day, observe the condition of pediatric patients, and select appropriate drugs.
In such a case, the doctor changes the prescription every day. For example, if the medicine is to be taken three times in the morning, noon, and night, the prescription for three packages is given. Then, the pharmacist uses the powder medicine packaging device 900 and prepares three medicines according to the prescription.
　この様な場合は、分配皿９１２に投入する薬剤の総量が少ない。そのため、トラフ９１０から散薬を落下させ、散薬を分配皿９１２の溝９１６に均等に分散させたとき、溝９１６の底に浅く散薬が溜まるに過ぎない。
　また散薬は、分配皿９１２の溝９１６の全周に均等に分散しているから、３回服用に分割するには、分配皿９１２を１／３周ずつ回転させて掻寄板９１７の前面に散薬を掻き寄せる必要があり、分配する際の分配皿９１２の回転角度が大きい。 In such a case, the total amount of medicine to be put into the distribution tray 912 is small. Therefore, when the powder is dropped from the trough 910 and the powder is evenly distributed in the groove 916 of the distribution tray 912, the powder only accumulates shallowly at the bottom of the groove 916.
In addition, since the powder is evenly distributed over the entire circumference of the groove 916 of the distribution tray 912, in order to divide it into three doses, the distribution tray 912 is rotated by 1/3 turn at the front of the scraping plate 917. It is necessary to scrape the powder, and the rotation angle of the distribution tray 912 when distributing is large.
　この様に、溝９１６の底に散薬が浅く溜まっており、且つ掻き寄せる際の分配皿９１２の回転角度が大きい場合は、溝９１６の底にこびりつく薬剤の量が無視できない。
　即ち、溝９１６の底にこびりつく薬剤の量は、溝９１６に溜まった薬剤の深さに係わらず一定である。従って一服用分の薬剤を分包する際における薬剤の損量は、掻き寄せる際の分配皿９１２の回転角度に依存し、掻き寄せる際の分配皿９１２の回転角度が大きい場合には、一服用分の薬剤の減少量が多い。
　また前記した様に、一服用分の薬剤量が少ない場合は、溝９１６の底に残ってしまう薬剤の割合が相対的に高い。そのため一服用分の薬剤量が少ない場合は、一包内の内容量が処方量を下回ってしまう懸念がある。 In this manner, when the powder is shallowly accumulated at the bottom of the groove 916 and the rotation angle of the distribution tray 912 when scraping is large, the amount of the drug stuck to the bottom of the groove 916 cannot be ignored.
That is, the amount of drug stuck to the bottom of the groove 916 is constant regardless of the depth of the drug accumulated in the groove 916. Therefore, the loss amount of the medicine when the medicine for one dose is packaged depends on the rotation angle of the distribution tray 912 at the time of scraping, and when the rotation angle of the distribution tray 912 at the time of scraping is large, There is a lot of decrease in the amount of medicines per minute.
Further, as described above, when the amount of medicine for one dose is small, the proportion of the medicine remaining at the bottom of the groove 916 is relatively high. For this reason, when the amount of medicine for one dose is small, there is a concern that the internal volume of the package is less than the prescribed amount.
　また特許文献２に開示された方法によると、朝服用分１．２グラム、昼服用分１．２グラム、夜服用分２．４グラムという様な量的な不均等処方に対応して散薬を包装することができるが、質的な不均等処方を実施することはできない。即ち特許文献２に開示された方法では、朝服用分の包装には散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚが封入され、昼服用分には散薬Ｚだけが封入され、夜服用分には散薬Ｘ，Ｙが封入されるという様な質的に異なる３服用分の包装を作ることはできない。 In addition, according to the method disclosed in Patent Document 2, powders are applied in response to non-uniform prescriptions such as 1.2 grams for morning use, 1.2 grams for lunch, and 2.4 grams for night use. Can be packaged, but no qualitative unequal prescription can be performed. That is, in the method disclosed in Patent Document 2, powder X, Y, Z is enclosed in the package for the morning dose, only powder Z is enclosed in the lunch dose, and powder X, Y is contained in the night dose. It is not possible to make a package for three different qualities such as being enclosed.
　そこで本発明は、従来技術の上記した問題点に注目し、一服（一包み）の内容量が少なく、且つ分割数が少ない場合であっても、一服用分の包みの中に、正確な量の薬剤を入れることができる薬剤払出し装置及び薬剤払出し方法を提供することを課題とするものである。
　また本発明は、量的な不均等処方や、質的な不均等処方にも対応できる薬剤払出し装置及び薬剤払出し方法を提供することを課題とするものである。 Therefore, the present invention pays attention to the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and even when the content of one dose (single package) is small and the number of divisions is small, an accurate amount is included in the package for one dose. It is an object of the present invention to provide a medicine dispensing apparatus and a medicine dispensing method that can contain the medicine.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a medicine dispensing apparatus and a medicine dispensing method that can cope with quantitative unequal prescriptions and qualitative unequal prescriptions.
　上記した課題を解決するための態様は、散薬を排出する薬剤フィーダと、動力によって回転される分配皿と、分配皿に投入された散薬を掻き出す掻出装置と、薬剤包装装置とを有し、薬剤フィーダから分配皿に散薬を供給し、分配皿上の散薬を一服用分ずつ掻出装置で掻き出して薬剤包装装置に投入し、散薬を一服用分ずつ包装する薬剤払出し装置において、前記薬剤フィーダは、散薬の排出量を監視し所望の量の散薬を排出することが可能であり、薬剤フィーダから散薬を一服用分ずつ分配皿に供給し、その間分配皿を停止又は回転させて分配皿上に散薬を一服用分ずつ間隔を開けて配置する分散配置モードでの運転が可能であることを特徴とする薬剤払出し装置である。 An aspect for solving the above-described problem includes a medicine feeder that discharges powder, a distribution tray that is rotated by power, a scraping device that scrapes the powder charged in the distribution tray, and a medicine packaging device. In the drug feeder, the powder feeder is configured to supply powder to a distribution tray from a drug feeder, scrape the powder on a distribution tray by a scraping device into a drug packaging device, and package the powder by dose. It is possible to monitor the discharge amount of the powder and discharge the desired amount of powder. Supply the powder from the drug feeder to the distribution tray one dose at a time, while stopping or rotating the distribution tray on the distribution tray. The medicine dispensing device is characterized in that it can be operated in a distributed arrangement mode in which powder is arranged at intervals of one dose.
　本態様の薬剤払出し装置では、薬剤フィーダから散薬が一服用分ずつ分配皿に供給される。そしてその間、分配皿の回転を停止させるか、あるいは極小さな角速度で回転させる。そのため、散薬は、一点あるいは極狭い領域に、山の如くに積み上げられ、散薬群ができる。
　なお散薬群は、一般に複数作られるが、散薬群を一つだけ作ってもよい。
　その後、分配皿を回転させて掻出装置で散薬を掻き寄せ、さらに散薬は分配皿から掻き出されることとなるが、本態様の薬剤払出し装置では、薬剤を掻き寄せる際の分配皿の回転角度が小さく、分配皿の残留する薬剤の量が少ない。そのため一包みの中に、正確な量の薬剤が封入される。 In the medicine dispensing apparatus according to this aspect, the powder is supplied from the medicine feeder to the distribution tray for each dose. In the meantime, the rotation of the distribution tray is stopped or rotated at a very small angular velocity. Therefore, powder is piled up like a mountain at one point or extremely narrow area, and a powder group is formed.
In general, a plurality of powder groups are formed, but only one powder group may be formed.
Thereafter, the dispensing tray is rotated to scrape the powder with the scraping device, and the powder is scraped from the dispensing tray. In the drug dispensing device of this aspect, the rotation angle of the dispensing tray when the drug is scraped Is small, and the amount of the drug remaining in the distribution dish is small. Therefore, an accurate amount of the medicine is enclosed in the package.
　分散配置モードにおいては、薬剤フィーダから散薬を分配皿に供給する際に分配皿の回転を停止し、薬剤フィーダから一服用分の散薬が分配皿に供給されると薬剤フィーダから分配皿に対する散薬の供給を一時的に停止し、その後に分配皿の回転を所定の角度だけ回転し、さらにその後に薬剤フィーダから分配皿に対する散薬の供給を再開し、この一連の動作を繰り返すことが望ましい。 In the distributed arrangement mode, when the powder feeder is supplied from the drug feeder to the distribution tray, the rotation of the distribution tray is stopped, and when a single dose of powder is supplied from the drug feeder to the distribution tray, It is desirable to temporarily stop the supply, and then rotate the distribution tray by a predetermined angle, and then restart the supply of powder from the drug feeder to the distribution tray, and repeat this series of operations.
　前記薬剤フィーダは、薬剤容器と、本体装置によって構成され、前記薬剤容器は、本体装置に対して着脱自在であり、前記薬剤容器には薬剤を排出する薬剤排出部があり、本体装置は、振動台と、振動台を振動させる加振手段と、振動台に薬剤容器を一時的に固定する容器保持手段と、薬剤容器の重量を直接的または間接的に測定する重量測定手段とを有し、薬剤容器を振動台に載置し、容器保持手段で薬剤容器を振動台に固定し、振動台を振動させて薬剤排出部から散薬を少量ずつ排出し、重量測定手段によって散薬の排出量を検知することが可能であることが望ましい。 The medicine feeder is constituted by a medicine container and a main body device, the medicine container is detachable from the main body device, the medicine container has a medicine discharging portion for discharging medicine, and the main body device is vibrated. A table, a vibration means for vibrating the vibration table, a container holding means for temporarily fixing the drug container to the vibration table, and a weight measuring means for directly or indirectly measuring the weight of the drug container, Place the medicine container on the shaking table, fix the medicine container to the shaking table with the container holding means, vibrate the shaking table to discharge the powder little by little from the medicine discharge part, and detect the amount of powder discharged by the weight measuring means It is desirable to be able to do that.
　本態様の薬剤払出し装置では、本体装置に薬剤容器を固定する。この状態で振動台を振動させることによって、薬剤容器の全体または一部を振動させることができる。そのため薬剤容器内の薬剤はゆっくりと薬剤排出部側に移動し、薬剤は整流されて流れが層流化し、薬剤排出部から排出される。
　また容器載置装置には、重量測定手段が装備されているから、薬剤の排出量を検知することができ、散薬等を量り出す作業を自動化することができる。 In the medicine dispensing device of this aspect, the medicine container is fixed to the main body device. By vibrating the shaking table in this state, the whole or a part of the medicine container can be vibrated. Therefore, the medicine in the medicine container slowly moves toward the medicine discharge section, the medicine is rectified, the flow is laminarized, and is discharged from the medicine discharge section.
In addition, since the container mounting device is equipped with a weight measuring means, it is possible to detect the discharge amount of the medicine and to automate the work of measuring the powder or the like.
　重量測定手段によって、薬剤を排出する以前の薬剤容器の重量たる原重量を測定し、薬剤容器から散薬を少量ずつ排出する際に前記重量測定手段によって薬剤容器の重量を監視し、薬剤容器の現在の重量たる現重量が、原重量から目標排出量を引いた値に一致した際あるいは略一致した際に薬剤容器からの散薬の排出を停止させる計量機能を備えたことが望ましい。 The original weight as the weight of the drug container before discharging the drug is measured by the weight measuring means, and the weight of the drug container is monitored by the weight measuring means when the powder is discharged little by little from the drug container. It is desirable to have a measuring function for stopping the discharge of powder from the medicine container when the current weight, which is the weight of the medicine, coincides with or substantially coincides with the value obtained by subtracting the target discharge amount from the original weight.
　薬剤容器の重量の測定手段について付言すると、薬剤容器の重量の測定は直接的であるか間接的であるかを問わない。即ち薬剤容器の重量だけを直接測定しても良いし、振動台等の機器を含めた重量を測定してもよい。
　本態様の薬剤払出し装置では、薬剤を排出する以前の薬剤容器の重量たる原重量と、薬剤容器の現在の重量たる現重量とを活用し、現重量が原重量から目標排出量を引いた値に一致した際に振動台の振動を停止させる。あるいは落下途中の薬剤の重量を勘案して、現重量が原重量から目標排出量を引いた値から僅かに少なく、略一致した際に振動台の振動を停止させる。そのため目標量の薬剤が排出された後に、振動台の振動が停止され、薬剤の排出が停止する。 If it adds about the measurement means of the weight of a chemical | medical agent container, it does not ask | require whether the measurement of the weight of a chemical | medical agent container is direct or indirect. That is, only the weight of the drug container may be directly measured, or the weight including a device such as a shaking table may be measured.
In the medicine dispensing apparatus of this aspect, the original weight as the weight of the medicine container before discharging the medicine and the current weight as the current weight of the medicine container are used, and the current weight is a value obtained by subtracting the target discharge amount from the original weight. When it matches, the vibration of the shaking table is stopped. Or the weight of the medicine in the middle of dropping is taken into consideration, and the current weight is slightly less than the value obtained by subtracting the target discharge amount from the original weight. Therefore, after the target amount of medicine is discharged, the vibration of the shaking table is stopped and the discharge of the medicine is stopped.
　薬剤払出し装置はその内部に、容器保管装置が設けられ、さらに容器移動手段が設けられ、容器移動手段によって容器保管装置から所定の薬剤容器を取り出して振動台に載置し、薬剤容器から散薬を排出させて分配皿に投入し、掻出装置によって分配皿に投入された散薬を掻き出して薬剤包装領域側に送り、薬剤包装装置によって薬剤を包装し、排出を終えた薬剤容器を容器移動手段によって容器保管装置に戻すことが可能であることが望ましい。 The medicine dispensing device is provided with a container storage device, and further provided with a container moving means. A predetermined medicine container is taken out of the container storage device by the container moving means and placed on the shaking table, and the powder medicine is dispensed from the medicine container. The medicine is discharged and put into the distribution tray, the powder put into the distribution tray is scraped out by the scraping device and sent to the medicine packaging area side, the medicine is packed by the medicine packaging device, and the medicine container after the discharge is discharged by the container moving means It is desirable to be able to return to the container storage device.
　本態様によると、薬剤容器の選択、計量、分配、包装及び薬剤容器を元の位置に戻すまでの一連の作業を自動的に行うことができる。 According to this aspect, a series of operations until the selection, weighing, distribution, packaging, and returning of the medicine container to the original position can be automatically performed.
　また同様の作用効果を奏する態様は、動力によって回転される分配皿と、分配皿に投入された散薬を掻き出す掻出装置と、薬剤包装装置とを有し、分配皿に散薬を供給し、分配皿上の散薬を掻出装置で掻き出して薬剤包装装置に投入し、散薬を一服用分ずつ包装する薬剤払出し装置において、散薬を一服用分ずつ又は一服用分だけ分配皿に供給し、その間分配皿を停止又は回転させて分配皿上に一又は複数の散薬群を形成し、分配皿上であって前記散薬群の周方向両側には散薬が存在しない空間領域を形成させる分散配置モードでの運転が可能であり、掻出装置によって前記散薬群を掻き出して薬剤包装装置に投入することを特徴とする薬剤払出し装置である。 Moreover, the aspect which has the same effect has the distribution tray rotated with motive power, the scraping device which scrapes out the powder thrown into the distribution tray, and the medicine packaging device, supplies powder to the distribution tray, and distributes it. In a drug dispensing device that scatters the powder on the dish with a scraping device and puts it into the drug packaging device, and wraps the powder one dose at a time, the powder is supplied to the distribution tray one dose at a time or one dose. In a distributed arrangement mode in which one or a plurality of powder groups are formed on the distribution tray by stopping or rotating the tray, and a space area on the distribution tray where no powder is present is formed on both sides in the circumferential direction of the powder group. The medicine dispensing apparatus is characterized in that it can be operated and scrapes out the powder group by a scraping apparatus and puts it into a medicine packaging apparatus.
　本態様の薬剤払出し装置においても、一点あるいは極狭い領域に、散薬を山の如くに積み上げられる。
　その後、分配皿を回転させて掻出装置で散薬を掻き寄せ、さらに散薬は分配皿から掻き出されることとなるが、本態様の薬剤払出し装置では、薬剤を掻き寄せる際の分配皿の回転角度が小さく、分配皿の残留する薬剤の量が少ない。そのため一包みの中に、正確な量の薬剤が封入される。 Also in the medicine dispensing apparatus of this aspect, powder medicine can be piled up like a mountain at one point or in an extremely narrow area.
Thereafter, the dispensing tray is rotated and the powder is scraped by the scraping device, and further the powder is scraped from the dispensing tray. Is small, and the amount of the drug remaining in the distribution dish is small. Therefore, an accurate amount of the medicine is enclosed in the package.
　分配皿を清掃する清掃装置を有し、分散配置モードでの運転が行われた後に清掃装置によって分配皿を清掃する際には、少なくとも散薬が存在していた部位または領域が清掃されることが望ましい。 When having a cleaning device for cleaning the distribution tray and cleaning the distribution tray by the cleaning device after the operation in the distributed arrangement mode, at least a part or region where the powder was present may be cleaned. desirable.
　本態様によると、分配皿が清掃されるので、薬剤のコンタミネーションが防止される。また分散配置モードでの運転が行われた後に行われる清掃は、散薬が存在していた部位または領域に重点をおいて行われることが望ましい。例えば、散薬が存在していた部位または領域だけを清掃したり、散薬が存在していた部位または領域にブラシ等が接する時間を他の領域に比べて長く設定する。 According to this aspect, since the distribution tray is cleaned, contamination of the drug is prevented. Further, it is desirable that the cleaning performed after the operation in the distributed arrangement mode is performed with an emphasis on the part or region where the powder was present. For example, only the part or region where the powder was present is cleaned, or the time for which the brush or the like is in contact with the part or region where the powder was present is set longer than the other regions.
　分散配置モードにおいては、分配皿に供給する一服用分の散薬の量を個別に変化させ、分配皿上に複数配置される一服用分の散薬群の中に、量の異なる散薬群を混在させることが可能であることが望ましい。 In the dispersive arrangement mode, the amount of powder for each dose to be supplied to the distribution tray is individually changed, and powders with different amounts are mixed in the powder for a single dose placed on the distribution tray. It is desirable that it is possible.
　本態様は、量的な不均等処方に対応できる薬剤払出し装置である。 This aspect is a medicine dispensing device that can deal with quantitative non-uniform prescriptions.
　また複数の薬剤フィーダを有し、分散配置モードにおける動作の一つとして、混合モードがあり、混合モードにおいては、一つの薬剤フィーダから排出された散薬と、他の薬剤フィーダから排出された散薬とを分配皿の同じ箇所又は近接した箇所に供給し、一つの薬剤フィーダから排出された散薬と、他の薬剤フィーダから排出された散薬とを一つの混合薬剤群とし、まとめて掻出装置で掻き出すものであってもよい。 In addition, as one of the operations in the distributed arrangement mode, which has a plurality of medicine feeders, there is a mixing mode. In the mixing mode, powders discharged from one medicine feeder and powders discharged from other medicine feeders Is supplied to the same or close location on the distribution tray, and the powder discharged from one drug feeder and the powder discharged from the other drug feeder are combined into one mixed drug group and scraped together by a scraping device.

It is possible to operate in a distributed arrangement mode that divides
　まず均等配置モードについて説明する。
　前記した様に、本実施形態の薬剤払出し装置１では、多数の薬剤容器２を使用する。薬剤容器２の数は多数にのぼり、原則として各薬剤容器２に異なる種類の薬剤が充填される。薬剤容器２は、容器保管装置１０１に取り付けられて保管されている。 First, the uniform arrangement mode will be described.
As described above, the drug dispensing device 1 of this embodiment uses a large number of drug containers 2. The number of drug containers 2 is large, and in principle, each drug container 2 is filled with different types of drugs. The medicine container 2 is attached to the container storage device 101 and stored.
　本実施形態の薬剤払出し装置１は、処方箋に応じて自動的に薬剤容器２を選び出す。具体的には、容器保管装置１０１のドラム部材１０２を回転し、所望の薬剤容器２を容器移動手段７００に近づける。そして容器移動手段７００のハンド部７０７で、薬剤容器２を保持する。そしてハンド部７０７に設けられた磁石によって薬剤容器２に設けられた運搬用鉄板部１５７を吸着させる。
　そしてアーム部材７０５，７０６を後退させて薬剤容器２を抜き取り、アーム部材７０５，７０６を動作させて当該薬剤容器２を容器載置装置３の振動台２０に設置する。
　なお複数の薬剤を配合して、一つの包装中に同封する場合には、複数の薬剤容器２が容器載置装置３に設置される。
　そして振動台２０を振動させる。その結果、薬剤容器２の散薬が、ゆっくりと移動し、薬剤容器２から排出されて分配皿２０１に落下する。
　また振動開始と前後して散薬分配装置２０２の分配皿２０１を回転させる。また振動開始と前後して、薬剤容器２の重量が測定される。その間、薬剤容器２の重量が監視され、散薬の総排出量が所望の重量となったところで、振動台２０の振動を停止する。 The medicine dispensing device 1 of this embodiment automatically selects the medicine container 2 according to the prescription. Specifically, the drum member 102 of the container storage device 101 is rotated to bring the desired medicine container 2 closer to the container moving means 700. Then, the drug container 2 is held by the hand portion 707 of the container moving means 700. And the iron plate part 157 for conveyance provided in the chemical | medical agent container 2 is made to adsorb | suck with the magnet provided in the hand part 707. FIG.
Then, the arm members 705 and 706 are retracted to extract the drug container 2, and the arm members 705 and 706 are operated to place the drug container 2 on the vibration table 20 of the container mounting device 3.
In addition, when mix | blending a several chemical | medical agent and enclosing in one package, the several chemical | medical agent container 2 is installed in the container mounting apparatus 3. FIG.
Then, the vibration table 20 is vibrated. As a result, the powder in the medicine container 2 moves slowly, is discharged from the medicine container 2, and falls to the distribution tray 201.
Further, the distribution tray 201 of the powder distribution device 202 is rotated before and after the start of vibration. Further, the weight of the drug container 2 is measured before and after the start of vibration. Meanwhile, the weight of the medicine container 2 is monitored, and when the total discharge amount of the powder reaches a desired weight, the vibration of the shaking table 20 is stopped.
　その後に分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。そして掻出用アーム６０５を揺動させ、先端側を降下させて掻出機構６０６を下げ、掻出機構６０６を分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８内に入れる。
　そして分配皿２０１を分配個数に応じた角度だけ回転させて、掻寄板６０９にかき寄せる。その後、掻寄板６０９を回転し、掻出板６０７で薬剤をすくい上げて分配皿２０１から排出し、薬剤投入開口２４１に投入する。
　薬剤投入開口２４１に投入された薬剤（散薬）は、散薬投入ホッパー４１３を落下して薬剤包装装置４１０に運ばれ、薬剤包装装置４１０で包装される。
　この動作を順次繰り返し、分配皿２０１内の薬剤を全て排出し、それぞれ薬剤包装装置４１０で包装される。 Thereafter, the rotation of the distribution tray 201 is stopped. Then, the scraping arm 605 is swung, the tip end side is lowered, the scraping mechanism 606 is lowered, and the scraping mechanism 606 is placed in the medicine feeding groove 208 of the distribution tray 201.
Then, the distribution plate 201 is rotated by an angle corresponding to the number of distributions and scraped to the scraping plate 609. Thereafter, the scraping plate 609 is rotated, the drug is scooped up by the scraping plate 607, discharged from the distribution tray 201, and loaded into the drug loading opening 241.
The medicine (powder) put into the medicine feeding opening 241 falls on the powder feeding hopper 413, is carried to the medicine packaging device 410, and is packed by the medicine packaging device 410.
This operation is sequentially repeated to discharge all the medicines in the distribution tray 201, and each medicine is packed by the medicine packaging device 410.
　分配皿２０１内の薬剤を全て排出し終えると、溝清掃動作が実行される。即ち清掃装置５００の清掃用アームを回動させて先端に設けられた清掃ブラシ５０２を降下させ、清掃ブラシ５０２を分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８内に入れる。
　そして清掃ブラシ５０２を回転しつつ、分配皿２０１を回転させる。
　その結果、分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８内に残っていた薬剤の残差が清掃ブラシ５０２で掻き落とされ、舞い上がっていた残差が吸引手段で吸引される。その結果、薬剤投入溝２０８内が清掃される。
　均等配置モードによって運転された後に実施される溝清掃動作では、分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８が全周に渡って清掃される。 When all of the medicine in the distribution tray 201 has been discharged, the groove cleaning operation is executed. In other words, the cleaning arm of the cleaning device 500 is rotated to lower the cleaning brush 502 provided at the tip, and the cleaning brush 502 is placed in the medicine feeding groove 208 of the distribution tray 201.
Then, the distribution tray 201 is rotated while the cleaning brush 502 is rotated.
As a result, the residual of the medicine remaining in the medicine introduction groove 208 of the distribution tray 201 is scraped off by the cleaning brush 502, and the residual that has been lifted is sucked by the suction means. As a result, the inside of the medicine charging groove 208 is cleaned.
In the groove cleaning operation performed after the operation in the uniform arrangement mode, the medicine charging groove 208 of the distribution tray 201 is cleaned over the entire circumference.
　またこれと平行して、容器移動手段７００が起動され、薬剤容器２がドラム部材１０２の容器設置部１０３に戻される。 In parallel with this, the container moving means 700 is activated, and the medicine container 2 is returned to the container setting portion 103 of the drum member 102.
　次に本実施形態に特有の動作たる分散配置モードについて、図２，３，４を参照しつつ説明する。分散配置モードは、分配皿２０１に対する薬剤の投入工程のみが相違するので、説明は、相違点に重点をおいて説明し、共通部分の説明は省略する。
　分散配置モードで運転する場合には、薬剤容器２から分配皿２０１に散薬を落下させる際、分配皿２０１を回転させない。
　即ち、図２（ｂ）の様に、分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２から分配皿２０１に散薬を排出する。より具体的には、薬剤容器２を容器載置装置３の振動台２０に設置し、振動台２０を振動させる。
　また振動開始と前後して、薬剤容器２の重量が測定される。その間、薬剤容器２の重量が、監視され、散薬の総落下量が一服用分の重量となったところで、振動台２０の振動を停止する。
　即ち前記した均等配置モードにおいては、複数服用分の合計量の散薬を薬剤容器２から一度に排出させるが、分散配置モードで運転する場合には、一服用分の散薬だけを分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８に落下させる。
　ここで分配皿２０１は、静止した状態を保っているから、散薬の落下地点は変わらず、図２（ｂ）の様に薬剤投入溝２０８の一点に薬剤（散薬）２２が山の如くに積層する。 Next, a distributed arrangement mode that is an operation peculiar to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Since the dispersive arrangement mode is different only in the step of putting the medicine into the distribution tray 201, the explanation will be made with an emphasis on the difference, and the explanation of the common parts will be omitted.
When operating in the distributed arrangement mode, when the powder is dropped from the drug container 2 onto the distribution tray 201, the distribution tray 201 is not rotated.
That is, as shown in FIG. 2B, the powder is discharged from the drug container 2 to the distribution dish 201 while the distribution dish 201 is stationary. More specifically, the medicine container 2 is installed on the vibration table 20 of the container mounting device 3 and the vibration table 20 is vibrated.
Further, the weight of the drug container 2 is measured before and after the start of vibration. Meanwhile, the weight of the medicine container 2 is monitored, and the vibration of the shaking table 20 is stopped when the total fall amount of the powder becomes the weight for one dose.
That is, in the above-described uniform arrangement mode, a total amount of powder for a plurality of doses is discharged from the drug container 2 at a time. It is dropped into the charging groove 208.
Here, since the distribution tray 201 remains stationary, the falling point of the powder does not change, and the medicine (powder) 22 is stacked like a mountain in one point of the medicine charging groove 208 as shown in FIG. To do.
　一服用分の薬剤を落下し終えると、振動台２０の振動を停止し、散薬の排出を中断する。
　そして続いて分配皿２０１を僅かに回転させる。例えば、５度から３０度程度の角度だけ回転させる。即ち分配皿２０１を微小角度だけ回転させた後、分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　その結果、先に積み上げられた散薬２２の山は、図２（ｃ）の様に周方向に移動し、薬剤容器２の真下には、分配皿２０１の新たな溝面が回り込んで来る。
　そして図３（ｄ）の様に振動台２０の振動を再開させ、新たな分配皿２０１の新たな溝面に、一服用分の散薬２３だけを落下させる。
　この場合においても、分配皿２０１は、静止した状態を保っているから、薬剤の落下地点は変わらず、一点に散薬２３が山の如くに積み上がる。 When the medicine for one dose has been dropped, the vibration of the shaking table 20 is stopped and the discharge of powder is interrupted.
Subsequently, the distribution tray 201 is slightly rotated. For example, it is rotated by an angle of about 5 to 30 degrees. That is, after the distribution plate 201 is rotated by a minute angle, the rotation of the distribution plate 201 is stopped.
As a result, the pile of powder 22 previously stacked moves in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 2 (c), and a new groove surface of the distribution tray 201 wraps around just below the drug container 2.
Then, the vibration of the vibration table 20 is restarted as shown in FIG. 3D, and only the powder 23 for one dose is dropped onto the new groove surface of the new distribution tray 201.
Even in this case, since the distribution tray 201 is kept stationary, the dropping point of the medicine does not change, and the powder 23 is piled up like a mountain at one point.
　一服用分の薬剤を落下し終えると、振動台２０の振動を再度停止し、散薬の排出を中断すると共に分配皿２０１を僅かに回転させる。先に積み上げられた散薬２３の山は、周方向に移され薬剤容器２の真下に分配皿２０１の新たな溝面を回り込ませる。
　以下、この工程を繰り返し、分配皿２０１の溝面に例えば３山の散薬（散薬群）２２，２３，２４を作る（図３ｅ）。
　散薬群同士の間は、図の様に間隔があいている。そのため散薬群同士の間には、散薬が存在しない空間領域２６がある。散薬群を中心に見ると、散薬群の周方向両側には散薬が存在しない空間領域２６が形成されている。 When the medicine for one dose has been dropped, the vibration of the shaking table 20 is stopped again, the powder discharge is interrupted, and the distribution tray 201 is slightly rotated. The pile of powder 23 previously stacked is moved in the circumferential direction, and the new groove surface of the distribution tray 201 is made to wrap around the medicine container 2.
Hereinafter, this process is repeated, and for example, three powders (powder group) 22, 23, 24 are made on the groove surface of the distribution plate 201 (FIG. 3e).
There is a gap between the powder groups as shown in the figure. Therefore, there is a space area 26 where no powder exists between the powder groups. Looking at the powder group as a center, space regions 26 where no powder is present are formed on both sides in the circumferential direction of the powder group.
　所定の量の散薬群を作ったあとは、分配皿２０１を回転させて最初の散薬群（散薬２２）を掻出用アーム６０５近傍に回動させ、掻出用アーム６０５先端側を降下させて掻出機構６０６を下げ、掻出機構６０６を分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８内に入れる。
　そして分配皿２０１を隣接する散薬群（散薬２３）に至らない範囲で回転させ、掻寄板６０９の前面で最初の散薬群（散薬２２）を掻き集める。
　さらに掻寄板６０９を回転し、掻出板６０７で薬剤をすくい上げて分配皿２０１から排出し、散薬２２を薬剤投入開口２４１に投入する。
　薬剤投入開口２４１に投入された散薬２２は、散薬投入ホッパー４１３を落下して薬剤包装装置４１０に運ばれ、薬剤包装装置４１０で包装される。
　この動作を順次繰り返し、分配皿２０１内の薬剤を全て排出し、それぞれ薬剤包装装置４１０で包装される。
　分散配置モードによると、掻寄板６０９によって薬剤を掻寄せる際における分配皿２０１の回転角度が小さいから、分配皿２０１にこびりつく薬剤量が少ない。また分配皿２０１の回転角度が小さいから、薬剤を掻き出すのに要する時間が短くて足る。 After a predetermined amount of powder group is formed, the distribution plate 201 is rotated to rotate the first powder group (powder 22) to the vicinity of the scraping arm 605, and the tip end side of the scraping arm 605 is lowered. The scraping mechanism 606 is lowered, and the scraping mechanism 606 is placed in the medicine charging groove 208 of the distribution tray 201.
Then, the distribution plate 201 is rotated within a range not reaching the adjacent powder group (powder 23), and the first powder group (powder 22) is collected on the front surface of the scraping plate 609.
Further, the scraping plate 609 is rotated, the drug is scooped up by the scraping plate 607 and discharged from the distribution tray 201, and the powder 22 is loaded into the drug loading opening 241.
The powder 22 charged in the drug charging opening 241 falls on the powder charging hopper 413 and is carried to the drug packaging device 410 and packaged by the drug packaging device 410.
This operation is sequentially repeated to discharge all the medicines in the distribution tray 201, and each medicine is packed by the medicine packaging device 410.
According to the distributed arrangement mode, since the rotation angle of the distribution plate 201 when the drug is scraped by the scraping plate 609 is small, the amount of the drug stuck to the distribution plate 201 is small. Moreover, since the rotation angle of the distribution tray 201 is small, the time required to scrape out the medicine is short.
　分配皿２０１内の薬剤を全て排出し終えると、溝清掃動作が実行される。ただし分散配置モードによって運転された後に実施される溝清掃動作では、分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８の一部だけが清掃される。
　即ち分散配置モードによる場合は、分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８の一部の領域だけに散薬２２，２３，２４が投下される。例えば前記した実施形態では、分配皿２０１の溝面に３山の散薬群を作る（図３ｅ）。ここで散薬群が分布する領域は、溝の全周の４分の１程度であり、約９０度の領域である。そして分散配置モードによって運転された後に実施される溝清掃動作では、この約９０度の領域及びその近傍部分だけが清掃される。
　そのため清掃に要する時間が大幅に短縮される。 When all of the medicine in the distribution tray 201 has been discharged, the groove cleaning operation is executed. However, in the groove cleaning operation performed after being operated in the distributed arrangement mode, only a part of the medicine charging groove 208 of the distribution tray 201 is cleaned.
That is, in the case of the distributed arrangement mode, the powders 22, 23, and 24 are dropped only on a partial area of the medicine feeding groove 208 of the distribution tray 201. For example, in the embodiment described above, three powdered powder groups are formed on the groove surface of the distribution tray 201 (FIG. 3e). Here, the area where the powdered drug group is distributed is about a quarter of the entire circumference of the groove, and is an area of about 90 degrees. In the groove cleaning operation performed after the operation in the distributed arrangement mode, only the region of about 90 degrees and the vicinity thereof are cleaned.
Therefore, the time required for cleaning is greatly reduced.
　またこれと平行して、容器移動手段７００が起動され、薬剤容器２がドラム部材１０２の容器設置部１０３に戻される。 In parallel with this, the container moving means 700 is activated, and the medicine container 2 is returned to the container setting portion 103 of the drum member 102.
　以上説明した実施形態では、分散配置モードで運転する場合に、散薬群を３群作り、３服用分の分包を行ったが、分包の個数については、任意であり、一分包であってもよく、１０以上であってもよい。 In the embodiment described above, when operating in the distributed arrangement mode, three powdered medicine groups are formed and the three doses are packaged. However, the number of packages is arbitrary, and is divided into one package. It may be 10 or more.
　また以上説明した実施形態では、分散配置モードで運転した後には、分配皿２０１の薬剤投入溝２０８の内、薬剤（散薬）が設置された領域に限って清掃を行った。即ち分散配置モードで運転した後における清掃工程を簡略化した。さらに簡略化させた方策として、散薬群が設けられていた部位だけを清掃してもよい。
　もちろん分散配置モードで運転した後に、薬剤投入溝２０８を全周に渡って清掃してもよいが、散薬が設置された領域又は散薬が設置されていた部位を他の領域や部位に比べて入念に清掃することが推奨される。例えば、分配皿２０１の回転速度を調整して、散薬が設置された領域又は散薬が設置されていた部位に清掃装置５００の清掃ブラシ５０２が留まる時間を長くしたり、分配皿２０１を往復回転させて清掃装置５００の清掃ブラシ５０２が通過する回数を他の領域に比べて多くすることが考えられる。 Moreover, in embodiment described above, after driving | running in dispersion | distribution arrangement | positioning mode, it cleaned only to the area | region in which the chemical | medical agent (powder medicine) was installed among the chemical | medical agent injection grooves 208 of the distribution tray 201. That is, the cleaning process after operating in the distributed arrangement mode is simplified. As a simplified measure, only the part where the powdered medicine group was provided may be cleaned.
Of course, after operating in the dispersion mode, the medicine charging groove 208 may be cleaned all around, but the area where the powder is placed or the part where the powder is placed is carefully compared to other areas and parts. It is recommended to clean it. For example, by adjusting the rotation speed of the distribution dish 201, the time for the cleaning brush 502 of the cleaning device 500 to stay in the region where the powder is installed or the part where the powder is installed is lengthened, or the distribution dish 201 is rotated back and forth. Thus, it is conceivable to increase the number of times the cleaning brush 502 of the cleaning device 500 passes as compared with other regions.
　また以上説明した実施形態は、同一患者に投与する散薬を分包することを前提に説明しており、各散薬群の薬剤量はいずれも同一である。
　しかしながら本発明は、この使用方法に限定されるものではなく、複数人に投与する薬剤を同時に分包してもよい。
　例えば、図４の様に、第１散薬群（散薬２７）は、３歳のＡ患者に処方されたものであり、０．３ｇの薬剤量である。これに対して第２散薬群（散薬２８）は、６歳のＢ患者に処方されたものであり、０．８ｇの薬剤量である。
　複数の患者に対する処方を同時に行う場合は、下流側の薬剤包装装置４１０では、包装袋に、「Ａ患者用」、「Ｂ患者用」という様な患者名や服用時期を区別するような印字がなされ、薬剤師が投薬ミスを発生しない様に表示される。 Moreover, embodiment described above is demonstrated on the assumption that the powder to be administered to the same patient is packaged, and the amount of each drug group is the same.
However, the present invention is not limited to this method of use, and drugs to be administered to a plurality of people may be packaged simultaneously.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the first powder group (powder 27) is prescribed to a 3-year-old A patient and has a drug amount of 0.3 g. On the other hand, the second powder group (powder 28) is prescribed to a 6-year-old B patient and has a drug amount of 0.8 g.
When prescribing a plurality of patients at the same time, the downstream medicine packaging device 410 has a print on the packaging bag that distinguishes the patient name and time of administration, such as “for patient A” and “for patient B”. It will be displayed so that the pharmacist will not make a medication error.
　また同一種類の薬剤が処方された処方箋を集め、一度に複数人の散薬を分包してもよい。 It is also possible to collect prescriptions prescribing the same type of medicine and wrap multiple powders at once.
　本実施形態の薬剤払出し装置１によって、量的な不均等処方に対応して散薬を包装することもできる。
　この場合の様子は、図４と同様であるから、図４を併用して量的な不均等処方に対応する方法を説明する。
　例えば、朝服用分１．２グラム、昼服用分２．４グラム、夜服用分１．２グラムという様な不均等処方に対応して散薬を包装する場合は、分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２から分配皿２０１に朝服用分１．２グラムの薬剤を排出する。より具体的には、薬剤容器２を容器載置装置３の振動台２０に設置し、振動台２０を振動させると共に薬剤容器２の重量を監視し、散薬の総落下量が朝服用分の１．２グラムとなったところで、振動台２０の振動を停止する。こうして作られた第１散薬群（散薬２７）は、朝服用分の薬剤である。 With the medicine dispensing device 1 of the present embodiment, powdered medicine can be packaged corresponding to a quantitative uneven prescription.
Since the situation in this case is the same as in FIG. 4, a method for coping with quantitative unequal prescription will be described using FIG. 4 together.
For example, when packaging powder for non-uniform prescriptions such as 1.2 grams for the morning dose, 2.4 grams for the lunch dose, and 1.2 grams for the night dose, the dispensing tray 201 is stationary. Then, 1.2 grams of medicine for the morning dose is discharged from the medicine container 2 to the distribution tray 201. More specifically, the medicine container 2 is installed on the vibration table 20 of the container mounting device 3, and the vibration table 20 is vibrated and the weight of the medicine container 2 is monitored. When it becomes 2 grams, the vibration of the shaking table 20 is stopped. The first powder group (powder 27) made in this way is a medicine for the morning dose.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１を僅かに回転させた後、分配皿２０１を停止し、薬剤容器２から分配皿２０１に昼服用分２．４グラムの薬剤を排出する。即ち振動台２０を振動させる時間等を異ならせ、薬剤容器２から分配皿に供給する一服用分の散薬の量を、服用時期ごとに個別に変化させる。こうして作られた第２散薬群（散薬２８）は、昼服用分の薬剤である。
　同様の工程によって夜服用分の散薬群（図示せず）を作る。その結果、分配皿２０１には、量の異なる散薬群が混在することとなる。その後の工程は、前述の通りであり、散薬２７，２８を順次薬剤投入開口２４１に投入し、薬剤包装装置４１０で包装される。
　下流側の薬剤包装装置４１０では、包装袋に、「朝服用」、「昼服用」という様な服用時期を区別するような印字がなされる。 Then, after the distribution tray 201 is slightly rotated, the distribution tray 201 is stopped, and 2.4 grams of medicine for lunch is discharged from the medicine container 2 to the distribution dish 201. That is, the time for vibrating the shaking table 20 is varied, and the amount of powder for one dose supplied from the drug container 2 to the distribution tray is changed individually for each dose time. The 2nd powder group (powder 28) made in this way is a medicine for lunch.
A powdered group (not shown) for night use is made by the same process. As a result, different amounts of powder groups are mixed in the distribution tray 201. Subsequent steps are as described above, and powders 27 and 28 are sequentially charged into the drug loading opening 241 and packaged by the drug packaging device 410.
In the downstream side medicine packaging apparatus 410, printing is performed on the packaging bag so as to distinguish the time of taking such as “for morning use” and “for lunch”.
　上記した実施形態では、一服用分の包装の中に一種類の散薬を封入する場合を例にあげて説明したが、一服用分の包装の中に複数種類の散薬を同封してもよい。
　一服用分の包装の中に複数種類の散薬を同封する場合には、混合モードによって薬剤払出し装置１が運転される。なお混合モードは、分散配置モードの一形態である。
　以下、混合モードについて図１０乃至１３を参照しつつ説明する。
　説明の便宜上、分配皿２０１を仮想的にＡエリア、Ｂエリア、Ｃエリアに区分する。また本実施形態では、容器載置装置３を３台使用し、各容器載置装置３に薬剤容器２を設置する。説明の便宜上、３個の薬剤容器２を薬剤容器２ｘ、２ｙ，２ｚとして区別する。各薬剤容器２ｘ、２ｙ，２ｚには異なる散薬が収容されている。理解を容易にするために、薬剤容器２ｘに収容された散薬Ｘを左上から右下に向かって傾斜する斜線で表示し、薬剤容器２ｙに収容された散薬Ｙを右上から左下に向かって傾斜する斜線で表示し、薬剤容器２ｚに収容された散薬Ｘを空白枠で表示する。 In the above-described embodiment, the case where one type of powder is enclosed in the package for one dose has been described as an example, but a plurality of types of powder may be enclosed in the package for one dose.
When a plurality of types of powders are enclosed in a single dose package, the medicine dispensing device 1 is operated in the mixing mode. The mixed mode is a form of the distributed arrangement mode.
Hereinafter, the mixed mode will be described with reference to FIGS.
For convenience of explanation, the distribution plate 201 is virtually divided into an A area, a B area, and a C area. In the present embodiment, three container mounting devices 3 are used, and the drug container 2 is installed in each container mounting device 3. For convenience of explanation, the three drug containers 2 are distinguished as drug containers 2x, 2y, and 2z. Each powder container 2x, 2y, 2z contains different powders. In order to facilitate understanding, the powder X stored in the drug container 2x is indicated by slanting lines inclined from the upper left to the lower right, and the powder Y stored in the drug container 2y is inclined from the upper right to the lower left. Displayed with diagonal lines, the powder X contained in the drug container 2z is displayed with a blank frame.
　図１０は、朝服用分と、昼服用分と、夜服用分の一日分、３包を分包する例であり、各包装内における散薬Ｘの量は同じである。また各包装内における散薬Ｙの量も同じである。さらに各包装内における散薬Ｚの量も同じである。図示の便宜上、各包装内における散薬Ｘの量と散薬Ｙの量と散薬Ｚの量が同一であるかの様に示されているが、実際にはこれらの量は異なっている。
　この場合には、図１０のステージ（１）の様に薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＡエリアが来る様に分配皿２０１を回転し、この位置で分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　そして分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２ｚから分配皿２０１に薬剤Ｚを排出する。より具体的には、薬剤容器２ｚを設置した容器載置装置３の振動台２０を振動させる。
　また振動開始と前後して、薬剤容器２ｚの重量が測定される。その間、薬剤容器２ｚの重量が、監視され、散薬Ｚの総落下量が一服用分の重量となったところで、振動台２０の振動を停止する。 FIG. 10 shows an example in which three portions are packed in the morning dose, the lunch dose, and the night dose, and the amount of powder X in each package is the same. The amount of powder Y in each package is also the same. Further, the amount of powder Z in each package is the same. For convenience of illustration, the amount of the powder X, the amount of the powder Y, and the amount of the powder Z are shown to be the same in each package, but these amounts are actually different.
In this case, as shown in stage (1) in FIG. 10, the distribution plate 201 is rotated so that the area A of the distribution plate 201 comes to a position directly below the drug container 2z, and the rotation of the distribution plate 201 is stopped at this position. To do.
And the medicine Z is discharged | emitted from the medicine container 2z to the distribution tray 201 in the state which made the distribution tray 201 stationary. More specifically, the vibration table 20 of the container mounting device 3 in which the medicine container 2z is installed is vibrated.
The weight of the medicine container 2z is measured before and after the start of vibration. Meanwhile, the weight of the medicine container 2z is monitored, and the vibration of the shaking table 20 is stopped when the total fall amount of the powder Z becomes the weight for one dose.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１を僅かに回転させ、図１０のステージ（２）の様に薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＢエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｙの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＡエリアがある状態で分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　そして分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２ｙ及び薬剤容器２ｚから分配皿２０１に薬剤Ｚ、薬剤Ｙを排出する。
　その結果、Ａエリアには先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｚの上に、薬剤容器２ｙから落下した薬剤Ｙが積み上げられる。
　また分配皿２０１のＢエリアには、薬剤容器２ｚから薬剤Ｚが落下する。 Subsequently, the distribution tray 201 is slightly rotated, and the B area of the distribution tray 201 is at a position directly below the drug container 2z as in the stage (2) of FIG. 10, and the distribution tray 201 is positioned immediately below the drug container 2y. The rotation of the distribution tray 201 is stopped in a state where there is an A area.
Then, the medicine Z and the medicine Y are discharged from the medicine container 2y and the medicine container 2z to the distribution dish 201 in a state where the dispensing dish 201 is stationary.
As a result, the medicine Y dropped from the medicine container 2y is stacked on the medicine Z dropped in the previous step in the A area.
Further, the medicine Z falls from the medicine container 2z to the area B of the distribution tray 201.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１をさらに僅かに回転させ、図１０のステージ（３）の様に薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＣエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｙの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＢエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｘの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＡエリアがある状態で分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　そして分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２ｘ、薬剤容器２ｙ及び薬剤容器２ｚから分配皿２０１に薬剤Ｚ、薬剤Ｙ、薬剤Ｘを排出する。
　その結果、Ａエリアには先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｚ，Ｙの上に、さらに薬剤容器２ｘから落下した薬剤Ｘが積み上げられる。
　またＢエリアには先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｚの上に、薬剤容器２ｙから落下した薬剤Ｙが積み上げられる。
　さらに分配皿２０１のＣエリアには、薬剤容器２ｚから薬剤Ｚが落下する。 Subsequently, the distribution tray 201 is further rotated slightly, and as shown in the stage (3) of FIG. 10, there is an area C of the distribution tray 201 at a position directly below the drug container 2z, and the distribution tray at a position immediately below the drug container 2y. Rotation of the distribution plate 201 is stopped in a state where there is an area B of 201 and the area A of the distribution plate 201 is located immediately below the medicine container 2x.
Then, the medicine Z, the medicine Y, and the medicine X are discharged from the medicine container 2x, the medicine container 2y, and the medicine container 2z to the dispensing dish 201 in a state where the distribution dish 201 is stationary.
As a result, in the A area, the medicine X dropped from the medicine container 2x is further stacked on the medicines Z and Y dropped in the previous step.
In the B area, the medicine Y dropped from the medicine container 2y is stacked on the medicine Z dropped in the previous step.
Furthermore, the medicine Z falls from the medicine container 2z to the area C of the distribution tray 201.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１をさらに僅かに回転させ、図１０のステージ（４）の様に薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置には分配皿２０１のＡ，Ｂ，Ｃのいずれのエリアも無く、薬剤容器２ｙの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＣエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｘの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＢエリアがある状態で分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　またＡエリアは各薬剤容器２ｘから離れている。
　そして分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２ｘ及び薬剤容器２ｙから分配皿２０１に薬剤Ｙ、薬剤Ｘを排出する。
　その結果、Ｂエリアには先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｚ，Ｙの上に、さらに薬剤容器２ｘから落下した薬剤Ｘが積み上げられる。
　またＣエリアには先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｚの上に、薬剤容器２ｙから落下した薬剤Ｙが積み上げられる。 Subsequently, the distribution plate 201 is further rotated slightly, and there is no area of any of A, B, C of the distribution plate 201 at the position directly below the drug container 2z as in the stage (4) of FIG. The rotation of the distribution plate 201 is stopped in a state where the C area of the distribution plate 201 is at a position directly below 2y and the B area of the distribution plate 201 is at a position directly below the drug container 2x.
Further, the area A is separated from each medicine container 2x.
Then, the medicine Y and the medicine X are discharged from the medicine container 2x and the medicine container 2y to the distribution dish 201 with the distribution dish 201 being stationary.
As a result, in the area B, the medicine X dropped from the medicine container 2x is further stacked on the medicines Z and Y dropped in the previous step.
In the C area, the medicine Y dropped from the medicine container 2y is stacked on the medicine Z dropped in the previous step.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１をさらに僅かに回転させ、図１０のステージ（５）の様に薬剤容器２ｚ，２ｙの真下の位置には分配皿２０１のＡ，Ｂ，Ｃのいずれのエリアも無く、薬剤容器２ｘの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＣエリアがある状態で分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　またＡエリアとＢエリアは各薬剤容器２ｘから離れている。
　そして分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２ｘから分配皿２０１に薬剤Ｘを排出する。
　その結果、Ｃエリアには先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｚ，Ｙの上に、さらに薬剤容器２ｘから落下した薬剤Ｘが積み上げられる。
　こうして、分配皿２０１のＡエリア、Ｂエリア、Ｃエリアにそれぞれ散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚが積み重ねられた混合薬剤群３１，３２，３３が形成される。
　後の工程は、前記した通常の分散配置モードの動作と同一であり、分配皿２０１を回転させて最初の混合薬剤群３１，３２，３３を一つずつを掻き集め、掻寄板６０９を回転し、掻出板６０７で薬剤をすくい上げて分配皿２０１から排出し、各薬剤群を薬剤投入開口２４１に投入し、薬剤包装装置４１０で包装する。 Then, the distribution plate 201 is further rotated slightly, and there is no area of any of A, B, C of the distribution plate 201 at the position directly below the drug containers 2z, 2y as in the stage (5) of FIG. The rotation of the distribution tray 201 is stopped in a state where the C area of the distribution tray 201 is at a position directly below the medicine container 2x.
Further, the A area and the B area are separated from each medicine container 2x.
And the medicine X is discharged | emitted from the medicine container 2x to the distribution tray 201 in the state which made the distribution tray 201 stationary.
As a result, in the area C, the medicine X dropped from the medicine container 2x is further stacked on the medicines Z and Y dropped in the previous step.
In this way, mixed drug groups 31, 32, and 33 in which powders X, Y, and Z are stacked in the A area, B area, and C area of the distribution tray 201 are formed.
The subsequent steps are the same as those in the normal dispersion arrangement mode described above. The distribution tray 201 is rotated to scrape the first mixed drug groups 31, 32, and 33 one by one, and the scraping plate 609 is rotated. Then, the drug is scooped up by the scraping plate 607 and discharged from the distribution tray 201, and each drug group is loaded into the drug loading opening 241 and packaged by the drug packaging device 410.
　以上説明した実施形態では、各包装に散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚを同じ量だけ封入する場合を示したが、包装の内容を個別に変化させることもできる。即ち本実施形態の薬剤払出し装置１によって、質的な不均等処方に対応して散薬を包装することもできる。
　例えば、朝服用分の包装には散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚが封入され、昼服用分には散薬Ｚだけが封入され、夜服用分には散薬Ｘ，Ｙが封入された３服用分の包装を造ることもできる。
　例えばＡエリアを朝服用分とし、Ｂエリアを昼服用分とし、Ｃエリアを夜服用分として混合薬剤群３５，３６，３７を作る。
　この場合は、図１１の様にステージ（３）で、薬剤容器２ｙ，２ｚからの薬剤落下を省略し、Ｂエリア（昼服用分）に薬剤Ｙが落下するのを防止し、またＣエリア（夜服用分）に薬剤Ｚが落下するのを防止する。またステージ（４）で、薬剤容器２ｘからの薬剤落下を省略し、Ｂエリア（昼服用分）に薬剤Ｘが落下するのを防止する。
　その結果、Ａエリアには散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚを含む混合薬剤群３５が形成され、Ｂエリアには散薬Ｚのみの薬剤群３６が形成される。またＣエリアには散薬Ｘ，Ｙの混合薬剤群３７が形成される。
　後の工程は、前記した通常の分散配置モードの動作と同一である。 In the embodiment described above, the case where the same amount of powder X, Y, Z is enclosed in each package is shown, but the contents of the package can be individually changed. In other words, the medicine dispensing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can also package powders corresponding to qualitative unequal prescriptions.
For example, powder X, Y, Z is enclosed in the package for the morning dose, only powder Z is enclosed in the lunch dose, and powder X, Y is enclosed in the night dose. It can also be made.
For example, the mixed drug groups 35, 36, and 37 are formed with the A area as the morning dose, the B area as the lunch dose, and the C area as the night dose.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 11, in the stage (3), the medicine drop from the medicine containers 2y and 2z is omitted, the medicine Y is prevented from dropping into the B area (for lunch), and the C area ( Prevents drug Z from falling in the evening dose). In the stage (4), the medicine drop from the medicine container 2x is omitted, and the medicine X is prevented from dropping into the B area (for lunch).
As a result, a mixed drug group 35 including powder X, Y, and Z is formed in the A area, and a drug group 36 containing only powder Z is formed in the B area. In the area C, a mixed drug group 37 of powder X and Y is formed.
The subsequent steps are the same as those in the normal distributed arrangement mode described above.
　また包装に内蔵される薬剤の量を個別に変更することも可能である。
　例えば、一日の服用分中には、いずれも散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚ封入されているが、昼服用分には、他に比べて散薬Ｙの処方量が多いといった分包を行うこともできる。即ち複数種類の散薬を同封し、さらに量的な不均等処方に対応して散薬を包装することもできる。
　この場合は、図１２の様にステージ（３）で、薬剤容器２ｙからの薬剤落下量を多くする。その結果、分配皿２０１のＡエリア、Ｂエリア、Ｃエリアにそれぞれ散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚが積み重ねられた混合薬剤群４５，４６，４７が形成されるが、Ｂエリアは他のエリアに比べて散薬Ｙの量が多く積み重ねられる。
　後の工程は、前記した通常の分散配置モードの動作と同一である。 It is also possible to individually change the amount of medicine incorporated in the package.
For example, powder X, Y, and Z are all encapsulated in the daily dose, but the prescription amount of powder Y can be increased in the daily dose. . That is, a plurality of types of powders can be enclosed, and the powders can be packaged corresponding to a quantitative uneven prescription.
In this case, the amount of medicine falling from the medicine container 2y is increased at stage (3) as shown in FIG. As a result, mixed drug groups 45, 46, and 47 in which powders X, Y, and Z are stacked in the A area, B area, and C area of the distribution tray 201 are formed, but the B area is compared to the other areas. A lot of powder Y is stacked.
The subsequent steps are the same as those in the normal distributed arrangement mode described above.
　図１０乃至図１２に示した例は、いずれも分配皿２０１を同一方向に回転させて分包を行う方法を開示したが、分配皿２０１を正逆両方に回転させて混合薬剤群を形成させてもよい。
　図１３は、分配皿２０１を正逆両方に回転させて混合薬剤群を形成させる場合の実施形態を示している。
　この場合は、図１３のステージ（１）で、薬剤容器２ｘの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＡエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｙの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＢエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＣエリアがある状態とする。
　そして各薬剤容器２ｘ，２ｙ，２ｚから同時に散薬を落下させる。その結果、Ａエリアには、散薬Ｘが落下し、Ｂエリアには散薬Ｙが落下し、Ｃエリアには散薬Ｚが落下する。 The examples shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 all disclose a method of packaging by rotating the distribution plate 201 in the same direction, but the mixed plate 201 is formed by rotating the distribution plate 201 in both forward and reverse directions. May be.
FIG. 13 shows an embodiment in which a mixed medicine group is formed by rotating the distribution tray 201 in both forward and reverse directions.
In this case, in the stage (1) of FIG. 13, there is an area A of the distribution dish 201 at a position directly below the drug container 2x, and an area B of the distribution dish 201 at a position directly below the drug container 2y. It is assumed that there is a C area of the distribution tray 201 at a position directly below
And a powder is dropped simultaneously from each chemical | medical agent container 2x, 2y, 2z. As a result, powder X falls in area A, powder Y falls in area B, and powder Z falls in area C.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１を僅かに正方向に回転させ、図１３のステージ（２）の様に薬剤容器２ｘの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＢエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｙの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＣエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置にはいずれのエリアも無い状態とする。
　そして各薬剤容器２ｘ，２ｙから同時に散薬を落下させる。その結果、Ｂエリアには、先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｙの上に、薬剤容器２ｘから落下した薬剤Ｘが積み上げられる。またＣエリアには、先の工程で落下させた薬剤ｚの上に、薬剤容器２ｙから落下した薬剤Ｙが積み上げられる。 Subsequently, the distribution tray 201 is slightly rotated in the forward direction. As shown in the stage (2) of FIG. 13, there is an area B of the distribution tray 201 at a position directly below the drug container 2x, and a position immediately below the drug container 2y. There is a C area of the distribution tray 201, and there is no area at a position directly below the medicine container 2z.
And a powdered medicine is simultaneously dropped from each chemical | medical agent container 2x, 2y. As a result, in the B area, the medicine X dropped from the medicine container 2x is stacked on the medicine Y dropped in the previous step. In the area C, the medicine Y dropped from the medicine container 2y is stacked on the medicine z dropped in the previous step.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１をさらに僅かに正方向に回転させ、図１３のステージ（３）の様に薬剤容器２ｘの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＣエリアがある状態とする。
　そして薬剤容器２ｘから散薬を落下させる。その結果、Ｃエリアには、先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｚ，Ｙの上に薬剤容器２ｘから落下した薬剤Ｘが積み上げられる。 Subsequently, the distribution tray 201 is further slightly rotated in the forward direction so that the C area of the distribution tray 201 is at a position directly below the drug container 2x as in the stage (3) of FIG.
Then, the powder is dropped from the drug container 2x. As a result, in the area C, the medicine X dropped from the medicine container 2x is stacked on the medicines Z and Y dropped in the previous step.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１をやや大きく逆方向に回転させ、図１３のステージ（４）の様に、薬剤容器２ｙの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＡエリアがあり、薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＢエリアがある状態で分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　そして分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２ｙ及び薬剤容器２ｚから分配皿２０１に薬剤Ｙ，Ｚを排出する。
　その結果、Ｂエリアには、先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｙ，Ｘの上に、薬剤容器２ｚから落下した薬剤Ｚが積み上げられる。またＡエリアには、先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｘの上に薬剤容器２ｙから落下した薬剤Ｙが積み重ねられる。 Subsequently, the distribution tray 201 is rotated slightly in the opposite direction, and as shown in the stage (4) of FIG. 13, there is an A area of the distribution tray 201 at a position directly below the drug container 2y, and a position directly below the drug container 2z. The rotation of the distribution tray 201 is stopped in a state where the B area of the distribution tray 201 exists.
Then, the medicines Y and Z are discharged from the medicine container 2y and the medicine container 2z to the distribution dish 201 in a state where the distribution dish 201 is stationary.
As a result, in the B area, the medicine Z dropped from the medicine container 2z is stacked on the medicines Y and X dropped in the previous step. In the A area, the medicine Y dropped from the medicine container 2y is stacked on the medicine X dropped in the previous step.
　そして続いて分配皿２０１をさらに僅かに逆方向に回転させ、図１３のステージ（５）の様に薬剤容器２ｚの真下の位置に分配皿２０１のＡエリアがある状態で分配皿２０１の回転を停止する。
　そして分配皿２０１を静止させた状態で、薬剤容器２ｚから分配皿２０１に薬剤Ｚを排出する。
　その結果、Ａエリアには、先の工程で落下させた薬剤Ｘ，Ｙに薬剤容器２ｚから落下した薬剤Ｚが積み重ねられる。
　こうして、分配皿２０１のＡエリア、Ｂエリア、Ｃエリアにそれぞれ散薬Ｘ，Ｙ，Ｚが積み重ねられた混合薬剤群５５，５６，５７が形成される。
　後の工程は、前記した通常の分散配置モードの動作と同一である。 Subsequently, the distribution plate 201 is further rotated in the reverse direction, and the distribution plate 201 is rotated in a state where the area A of the distribution plate 201 is located immediately below the drug container 2z as in the stage (5) of FIG. Stop.
And the medicine Z is discharged | emitted from the medicine container 2z to the distribution tray 201 in the state which made the distribution tray 201 stationary.
As a result, in the A area, the medicine Z dropped from the medicine container 2z is stacked on the medicines X and Y dropped in the previous step.
Thus, mixed drug groups 55, 56, and 57 in which powders X, Y, and Z are stacked in the A area, B area, and C area of the distribution tray 201 are formed.
The subsequent steps are the same as those in the normal distributed arrangement mode described above.
　以上説明した実施形態においても、混合散薬群を３群作り、３服用分の分包を行ったが、分包の個数については、任意であり、一分包であってもよく、１０以上であってもよい。
　また以上説明した実施形態においては、同一のエリア内においては、先に落下させた薬剤の上に新たに落下させた薬剤を積み重ねたが、薬剤を積み重ねることは必須ではなく、近い領域にまとめて落下させればよい。
　即ち分散配置モード（混合モードを含む）においては、分配皿２０１を回転し、掻寄板６０９によって薬剤を掻寄せる工程を有しているから、複数種類の薬剤が近い領域にまとまってさえいれば、複数の薬剤を掻き寄せて、まとめて掻き出すことができる。 Even in the embodiment described above, three mixed powder groups were made and the sachet was divided into three doses. However, the number of sachets is arbitrary, and may be one sachet. There may be.
Further, in the embodiment described above, in the same area, the newly dropped medicine is stacked on the previously dropped medicine, but it is not essential to stack the medicine, and it is collected in a close region. Just drop it.
That is, in the dispersive arrangement mode (including the mixing mode), since there is a step of rotating the distribution plate 201 and scraping the medicine by the scraping plate 609, as long as a plurality of kinds of medicines are gathered in a close region. A plurality of drugs can be scraped and scraped together.
　上記した実施形態では、容器載置装置３と薬剤容器２によって一組の薬剤フィーダ５が構成され、散薬落下量を監視する構成が採用されている。しかしながら本発明は、この構成に限定されるものではなく、例えば従来技術として示した様な、トラフ９１０の下に図示しない圧電素子が設けられて、トラフ９１０を振動させる構造の粉体フィーダ９０６を使用することもできる。
　この場合には、薬剤師が所定量の散薬を量り出し、この散薬をホッパー９０５に投入して分配皿９１２内に落下させることとなる。 In the above-described embodiment, a configuration in which a set of medicine feeders 5 is configured by the container mounting device 3 and the medicine container 2 and the amount of powder falling is monitored is adopted. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, a powder feeder 906 having a structure in which a piezoelectric element (not shown) is provided below the trough 910 and vibrates the trough 910 as shown in the prior art. It can also be used.
In this case, the pharmacist measures out a predetermined amount of powder, puts this powder into the hopper 905, and drops it into the distribution tray 912.
　また本発明のさらに解決すべき課題として、分散配置モードで運転する場合に、薬剤の落下量が不安定になる懸念が挙げられる。
　即ち本発明では、分散配置モードで運転する場合に、容器載置装置３を振動させて薬剤容器２から薬剤を排出させ、所定量の排出を終えると容器載置装置３の振動を停止し、さらに一定時間が経過した後に容器載置装置３を振動させて薬剤容器２から薬剤を排出させる。
　ここで薬剤容器２内の薬剤の挙動について考察すると、薬剤容器２は、縦姿勢で保管されているから、内部の薬剤は、縦姿勢を基準として底の部位に集まっており、薬剤排出口からは遠い。
　そして容器載置装置３が振動を開始すると、図６の様に内部の薬剤は、ゆっくりと薬剤排出口に向かって前進し、遂には薬剤排出部８から落下する。そして薬剤は前進する際に層状に慣らされる。
　ところが、二回目の排出の際には、薬剤の先頭部分は、既に薬剤排出部８に至っている。そのため一回目の排出と二回目以降の排出は排出条件が相違することとなる。 Further, as a problem to be solved by the present invention, there is a concern that the amount of dropped medicine becomes unstable when operating in the distributed arrangement mode.
That is, in the present invention, when operating in the distributed arrangement mode, the container mounting device 3 is vibrated to discharge the drug from the drug container 2, and when the predetermined amount of discharge is finished, the vibration of the container mounting device 3 is stopped, Further, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the container mounting device 3 is vibrated to discharge the medicine from the medicine container 2.
Here, considering the behavior of the medicine in the medicine container 2, the medicine container 2 is stored in a vertical posture, so that the medicine inside is gathered at the bottom part with the vertical posture as a reference, and from the medicine discharge port. Is far away.
When the container mounting device 3 starts to vibrate, the internal medicine slowly moves toward the medicine discharge port as shown in FIG. 6 and finally falls from the medicine discharge section 8. The drug is then acclimatized in layers as it advances.
However, at the time of the second discharge, the leading portion of the medicine has already reached the medicine discharge section 8. Therefore, the discharge conditions differ between the first discharge and the second and subsequent discharges.
　この問題を解決する手段として、二回目以降の排出を開始する際に、振動パターンを換えて容器載置装置３を動作させ、薬剤を一旦、底の部位に移動させることが考えられる。
　また二回目以降の排出を開始する際に、容器移動手段７００のハンド部７０７で、薬剤容器２を保持して一旦縦姿勢にしたり、或いは薬剤排出部８を上にして傾斜させ、その後に薬剤容器２を再装着してもよい。この工程を経ることにより、薬剤の先頭部分が後退し、二回目以降も同じ排出条件で薬剤を排出させることができ、精度の高い分散配置を実現することができる。 As a means for solving this problem, when starting the second and subsequent discharges, it is conceivable to change the vibration pattern and operate the container mounting device 3 to temporarily move the medicine to the bottom part.
Further, when starting the second and subsequent discharges, the hand container 707 of the container moving means 700 holds the drug container 2 to be in a vertical position once, or tilts the drug discharge part 8 upward, and then the drug is moved. The container 2 may be remounted. By passing through this step, the leading portion of the medicine is retracted, and the medicine can be discharged under the same discharge conditions for the second and subsequent times, and a highly accurate distributed arrangement can be realized.
　上記した実施形態では、分散配置モードにおいて薬剤容器２から分配皿２０１に対して薬剤の投入する際、分配皿２０１の回転を停止して行ったが、分配皿２０１を低速で回転させつつ薬剤を投入してもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, when the medicine is loaded from the medicine container 2 to the distribution dish 201 in the distributed arrangement mode, the rotation of the distribution dish 201 is stopped. However, the medicine is added while rotating the distribution dish 201 at a low speed. You may throw it in.
