For example, when the vertical direction is 0°, a range of ±20° is included. A horizontal (H) direction refers to “lateral”, and horizontal includes approximately horizontal. For example, when the horizontal direction is 0°, a range of ±20° is included. As for “longitudinal posture” and “lateral posture”, the terms “longitudinal” and “lateral” are determined based on a short (or width) direction of continuous portion packaging bags. As for “upstream” and “downstream”, a conveying direction side relating to the portion packaging paper or the conveying direction of the portion packaging bags with respect to a certain reference refers to “downstream”, and the opposite side of the conveying direction refers to “upstream”.
<Controller>
Examples of the controller 500 may include a personal computer. The controller 500 receives prescription data that is input online from the receipt computer. For example, the controller 500 includes a display part 502 constituted of a display device, and an operating part 504 constituted of a keyboard.
<Portion Packaging Machine>
As shown in
Based on the prescription data, the controller 500 can select a required feeder 104 and drop the stored medicines down from the feeder 104. The medicine of one dose is dropped down. The feeders 104 can each be constituted of a cassette for housing medicine and a chute that guides the medicine down from the cassette.
The portion packaging machine 100 includes a hopper 106 below the feeders 104. The hopper 106 is a cylindrical member with a wide opening on the upper side and a narrow opening on the lower side, the narrow opening being narrower than the wide opening. The hopper 106 collects medicines dropped from the upper feeders 104 and gathers the medicines to one spot on the lower side. Under the hopper 106, an input pipe 108 is provided.
The portion packaging machine 100 includes a packaging mechanism 110 below the input pipe 108. The tablets collected with the hopper 106 are guided to the packaging mechanism 110 through the input pipe 108. The input pipe 108 is a cylindrical member extending in a vertical direction. The input pipe 108 may be circular or elliptical in cross section. The input pipe 108 may also be in a cylindrical or pyramid shape. The input pipe 108 may be in any shape as long as the input pipe 108 can guide the tablets to the packaging mechanism 110.
As shown in
The heat seal mechanism 116, for example, has a longitudinal heat head 116A arranged longitudinally and a lateral heat head 116B arranged laterally. The heat seal mechanism 116 can form longitudinal seal portions 118A and lateral seal portions 118B on the portion packaging paper 112 to be conveyed.
The supply mechanism 114, for example, is constituted of a shaft that holds the rolled portion packaging paper 112 and a drive motor that rotates the shaft or the like. The controller 500 can rotationally drive the drive motor intermittently or continuously.
The portion packaging paper 112 is conveyed in a longitudinal posture with a double-folded portion being positioned on the lower side. For example, the longitudinal heat head 116A of the heat seal mechanism 116 forms the longitudinal seal portions 118A on the portion packaging paper 112. The longitudinal heat head 116A of the heat seal mechanism 116 is equipped with a perforation forming device (not shown). The perforation forming device, for example, includes a plurality of blades or the like that can penetrate the portion packaging paper 112. When the longitudinal heat head 116A heat-fuses the portion packaging paper 112 from both sides, the perforation forming device forms perforations 118C on the longitudinal seal portions 118A. The portion packaging paper 112 is put in a half-closed state.
Then, the half-closed portion packaging paper 112 passes through the input pipe 108. Medicine of one dose is supplied from the input pipe 108 to the half-closed portion packaging paper 112. Then, the lateral heat head 116B of the heat seal mechanism 116 forms the lateral seal portions 118B.
The portion packaging paper 112 is formed into portion packaging bags 118 which are separated from each other through the heat seal portions (the longitudinal seal portions 118A and the lateral seal portions 118B) and the perforations 118C.
The portion packaging machine 100 discharges continuous portion packaging bags 118 in a longitudinal posture from a discharge port 120. The short direction of the continuous portion packaging bags 118 is along the longitudinal direction.
Note that the continuous portion packaging bags 118 are separated into individual portion packaging bags 118 by separating the continuous portion packaging bags 118 along the perforations 118C.
The packaging mechanism 110 may include a printhead 122. The printhead 122 carries out printing in areas of the portion packaging paper 112 which serves as the portion packaging bags after passing through the heat seal mechanism 116. Information to be printed includes, for example, a patient name, a medicine name, and its usage.
<Inspecting Machine>
The inspecting machine 300 has a casing 301. The casing 301 includes an introduction port 302 that receives the continuous portion packaging bags 118, and a discharge port 334 that discharges the continuous portion packaging bags 118. The inspecting machine 300 includes a pair of first conveying rollers 304 on an upstream side and a pair of second conveying rollers 306 on a downstream side. The first conveying rollers 304 and the second conveying rollers 306 hold the continuous portion packaging bags 118 from the upper and lower directions and the lateral seal portions 118B. Holding the lateral seal portions 118B makes it possible to avoid the medicine being trapped and damaged by the first conveying rollers 304 and the second conveying rollers 306.
In a conveying path between the first conveying rollers 304 and the second conveying rollers 306, an imaging area is provided. In the imaging area, a first camera 308 is arranged above the conveying path, and a second camera 310 is arranged below the conveying path. The first camera 308 and the second camera 310 are digital cameras, for example.
A plurality of light sources 312 is arranged above and below the conveying path. Above the conveying path, four light sources 312 are arranged at equal intervals on the same circumference around an imaging optical axis of the first camera 308. Similarly, below the conveying path, four light sources 312 are arranged at equal intervals on the same circumference around an imaging optical axis of the second camera 310.
The imaging area of the conveying path is made of a transparent member. The first camera 308 and the second camera 310 image the medicines contained in the portion packaging bags 118 to be conveyed, from the upper and lower directions. In the imaging area, the portion packaging bags 118 are subjected to posture change from the longitudinal posture at the time of being discharged from the portion packaging machine 100 to the lateral posture by the conveyor 200 described later. The portion packaging bag 118 is put in a horizontal state. A surface enclosed by the longitudinal seal portion 118A, the lateral seal portion 118B, and the double-fold portion of the portion packaging bags 118 are put in the horizontal state.
It is preferable to provide a spreading mechanism (not shown) in the imaging area. The spreading mechanism eliminates overlap of medicines in each of the portion packaging bags 118. By operating the spreading mechanism, the first camera 308 and the second camera 310 can accurately image the medicines in each of the portion packaging bags 118.
A guide 314 is arranged downstream of the imaging area. The guide 314 guides the portion packaging bags 118 to the lower conveying path.
The inspecting machine 300 includes a label printer mechanism 316. A third camera 330 is arranged at a position facing the label printer mechanism 316 across the conveying path. The third camera 330 images the perforations 118C formed in the longitudinal seal portion 118A of the portion packaging bag 118 to detect the position of the perforations 118C. The position of label application is adjusted based on the detected position of the perforations 118C.
The label printer mechanism 316 includes a supply mechanism 320 that feeds a backing paper 318 with labels, a label printer 322, a label release mechanism 324, and a winding mechanism 326 that winds the backing paper. The supply mechanism 320, for example, is constituted of a shaft that holds the rolled backing paper 318 with labels and a drive motor that rotates the shaft or the like. The label printer 322, for example, is constituted of a thermal head printer. The winding mechanism 326 is constituted of a shaft that winds the backing paper 318 without labels, and a drive motor that rotates the shaft or the like. By folding the backing paper 318 with labels, the tip of the printed label tip is released from the backing paper. By passing the released printed labels through a pair of belt conveying mechanisms, the printed labels are conveyed toward the portion packaging bags 118. The printed labels are attached to the portion packaging bags 118.
It is possible to use both or one of the printhead 122 of the packaging mechanism 110 and the label printer mechanism 316 of the inspecting machine 300.
Downstream of the label printer mechanism 316, a pair of third conveying rollers 332 is arranged. The third conveying rollers 332 discharge the continuous portion packaging bags 118 with labels from a discharge port 334. The portion packaging bags 118 discharged from the discharge port 334 are housed in a housing box 400. Although the housing box 400 is shown in the embodiment, a winding device may be arranged instead of the housing box 400. The winding device is constituted of a winding shaft, and a drive motor that drives the winding shaft or the like.

As shown in
Description is now given of the operation of the conveyor 200 based on
As shown in
The rollers 124A and 124B each include a sponge roller SR and rubber rollers GR at both ends of the sponge roller SR. Because there is no medicine in the lateral seal portion 118B, the two rubber rollers GR arranged on the side of the lateral seal portion 118B can strongly press the lateral seal portion 118B. The portion packaging bags 118 can be fed in the conveying direction.
The two rubber rollers GR at positions opposite to the rubber rollers GR that press the lateral seal portion 118B come into contact with each other outside the portion packaging bag 118 without pressing the portion packaging bag 118. Since the rollers 124A and 124B have the rubber rollers GR at each end, drive force can be transferred from the drive roller to the driven roller.
The sponge rollers SR are softer than rubber rollers GR. When the portion packaging bag 118 is pressed by the rollers 124A and 124B, the sponge rollers SR can prevent the portion-packaged medicine from being damaged.
The embodiment shows a configuration in which both the rollers 124A and 124B include the rubber rollers GR and the sponge roller SR. Without being limited to the configuration, the rollers 124A and 124B may be configured such that one roller includes the rubber rollers GR and the sponge roller SR, and the other includes only the rubber roller GR without the sponge roller SR.
The portion packaging bags 118 discharged from the discharge port 120 pass through the introduction port 202 of the conveyor 200 and are conveyed toward the pair of roller parts 206. The pair of roller parts 206 is constituted of a first roller 206A and a second roller 206B. The first roller 206A is perpendicular to a conveying direction F and arranged in a horizontal direction. The second roller 206B is arranged facing the first roller 206A to press the portion packaging bags 118 with the first roller 206A.
The portion packaging bags 118, which have passed through the pair of roller parts 206, are conveyed toward the pair of roller parts 208. The pair of roller parts 208 includes a third roller 208A and a fourth roller 208B. The third roller 208A is arranged vertically above the first roller 206A and in the horizontal direction, and is in a positional relation parallel to the first roller 206A. The fourth roller 208B is arranged facing the third roller 208A. The third roller 208A and the fourth roller 208B press the portion packaging bags 118.
Similar to the pair of roller parts 124, the first roller 206A and the second roller 206B, which constitute the pair of roller parts 206, can each include a sponge roller SR and rubber rollers GR at both ends of the sponge roller SR. The third roller 208A and the fourth roller 208B, which constitute the pair of roller parts 208, can each include a sponge roller SR and rubber rollers GR at both ends of the sponge roller SR. The pair of roller parts 206 and the pair of roller parts 208 can each be configured such that one roller part includes the rubber rollers GR and the sponge roller SR, and the other roller part includes only the rubber roller GR without the sponge roller SR.
The conveyor 200 can arrange a pair of rollers (not shown), similar to the pair of the roller parts 124, arranged between the introduction port 202 and the pair of roller parts 206 along the vertical direction.
In the embodiment, the first roller 206A functions as a posture changing device that changes the longitudinal posture of the portion packaging bags 118 to a lateral posture. The portion packaging bags 118 are wound around the first roller 206A and are given tension from the first roller 206A. The portion packaging bags 118 are twisted about 90°, so that the longitudinal posture is changed to the lateral posture. The lateral posture is such that the short direction of the continuous portion packaging bags 118 is along the lateral direction. As shown in
In the embodiment, the third roller 208A guides the conveyed portion packaging bags 118 in a vertically upward direction and the horizontal direction. The third roller 208A maintains the portion packaging bags 118 in a lateral posture. The portion packaging bags 118 are fed from the discharge port 204 to the inspecting machine 300 in the lateral posture.
The conveyor 200 includes a detector 210. As shown in
The actuator 210B is provided on the photosensor 210A rotatably around a rotation shaft (not shown) along the optical path. The actuator 210B rotationally moves around the rotation shaft in response to contact with the portion packaging bags 118. The actuator 210B determines one state out of the optical path blocking state and the optical path opening state of the photosensor 210A as the actuator 210B rotationally moves. The photosensor 210A outputs signals corresponding to the optical path blocking and the optical path opening. For example, the photosensor 210A can take a mode of outputting Low in the optical path blocking state and High in the optical path opening state or a mode of outputting High in the optical path blocking state and Low in the optical path opening state.
As shown in
As shown in
At the time of conveying operation, a moving track of a double-folded lower end when the cut line 118D is generated is different from a moving track of the double-folded lower end before generation of the cut line 118D (referred to as normal position). When the cut line 118D is generated, the moving track of the double-folded lower end is located on the upper side in the vertical direction as compared with the normal position.
As a result, in the embodiment, the portion packaging bag 118 comes into contact with the actuator 210B, and the actuator 210B rotates around the rotation shaft from the initial state. When the actuator 210B rotates at angles larger than an angle specified based on the initial condition, the actuator 210B opens the optical path of the photosensor 210A. In the embodiment, the photosensor 210A outputs High in response to the optical path opening. The output signal from the detector 210 is input into the controller 500.
The controller 500 determines the presence or absence of the cut line 118D in the portion packaging bag 118 based on output difference between the portion packaging bag 118 without the cut line 118D and the portion packaging bag 118 with the cut line 118D. When the controller 500 determines the presence of the cut line 118D, then the controller 500 can stop the operation of the medicine inspection support system 10 and/or issue an alarm by activating a buzzer, a lamps, etc. to inform the operator, for example. The controller 500 can stop operation of the medicine inspection support system 10 and/or issue an alarm in accordance with the detection result of the detector 210 (with the generation of the cut line 118D). This makes it possible to promptly cope with the generation of the cut line in any of the portion packaging bags 118.
In the embodiment, while the first roller 206A has been illustrated as the posture changing device, the guide can change the longitudinal posture to the lateral posture. The portion packaging bags 118 are conveyed along the guide, and the longitudinal posture is changed to the lateral posture. For example, the guide supports the lateral seal portion 118B of the portion packaging bags 118. The guide has a predetermined length and extends downward along the conveying direction F and diagonally across the conveying direction F. The configuration of the posture changing device is not particularly limited.
Although the detector 210 configured to include the photosensor 210A and the actuator 210B has been illustrated, a transmission photosensor, a reflection photosensor, etc. can be applied.
The transmission photosensor has a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element arranged so as to face each other, and an optical path is formed between the light-emitting element and the light-receiving element. The transmission photosensor is arranged at the position where the portion packaging bags cross the optical path in the state where no cut line is generated and where the portion packaging bags do not cross the optical path in the state where the cut line is generated. When the portion packaging bags are transparent, the transmission photosensor outputs some signal, regardless of the state where no cut line is generated and the state where the cut line is generated. On the other hand, the output from the transmission photosensor is different in magnitude between in the state where no cut line is generated and in the state where no cut line is generated. By determining the magnitude of the output, the presence or absence of the cut line can be detected.
The reflection photosensor has a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element juxtaposed to face the same direction. The reflection photosensor is arranged at the position where the light-receiving element receives the light of the light-emitting element reflected by the portion packaging bags in the state where no cut line is generated and where the light-receiving element does not receive the light of the light-emitting element in the state where the cut line is generated. The output from the reflection photosensor is different in magnitude between in the state where no cut line is generated and in the state where no cut line is generated. By determining the magnitude of the output, it is possible to detect the presence or absence of the cut line.
Hardware that implements the controller 500 according to the embodiment can be constituted of various processors. The various processors include a central processing unit (CPU) that is a general-purpose processor that executes programs and functions as various processing parts, a programmable logic device (PLD) that is a processor capable of changing circuit configuration after manufacturing, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and an exclusive electrical circuit that is a processor having a circuit configuration exclusively designed for execution of specific processes, such as application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). One processing part constituting an image display device may be constituted of one of the various processors, or may be constituted of two or more processors of the same kind or different kinds. For example, one processing part may be constituted of a plurality of FPGAs or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA. One processor may constitute a plurality of processing parts. As an example of one processor constituting a plurality of processing parts, firstly, there is a configuration, as represented by a computer such as a client or a serve, where a combination of one or more CPUs and software constitutes one processor, and the one processor functions as a plurality of processing parts. Secondary, there is a configuration of using a processor which implements the function of the entire system including a plurality of processing parts with a single integrated circuit (IC) chip, as represented by a system on chip (SoC) or the like. In this way, the various processing parts are configured with one or more of the various processors in terms of the hardware structure. Furthermore, the hardware structures of the various kinds of processors correspond to electrical circuits (circuitries) formed by combining circuit elements such as semiconductor elements to be more specific.
The operation of the medicine inspection support system 10 according to the embodiment is described (with reference to
The conveyor 200 receives the portion packaging bags 118 in the longitudinal posture from the introduction port 202. The posture of the portion packaging bags 118 is changed to a lateral posture by passing through the pair of roller parts 206 including the first roller 206A serving as the posture changing device. The portion packaging bags 118 are fed to the inspecting machine 300 in the lateral posture by passing through the pair of roller parts 208 including the third roller 208A. When the detector 210 detects the cut line 118D in any of the portion packaging bags 118, the controller 500 stops operation of the medicine inspection support system 10.
The inspecting machine 300 receives the portion packaging bags 118 in the lateral posture from the introduction port 302. The controller 500 controls the first conveying rollers 304 and the second conveying rollers 306 to convey the portion packaging bags 118 to the imaging area. The controller 500 controls the light sources 312, the first camera 308 and the second camera 310 to image the portion packaging bags 118 in the lateral posture from the upper and lower directions and thereby acquire medicine images.
The controller 500 retrieves medicine data including images from the prescription data. The controller 500 uses the medicine data and medicine images to determine whether inspection target medicines are identical to the medicines indicated by the prescription data, and then outputs inspection result information. The controller 500 controls the label printer mechanism 316 to attach labels having the prescription data and the inspection result information printed thereon to the portion packaging bags 118. The controller 500 controls the third conveying rollers 332. The third conveying rollers 332 discharge the portion packaging bags 118 attached with the labels to the housing box 400 through the discharge port 334.
As described in the foregoing, the conveyor 200 changes the portion packaging bags 118 from the longitudinal posture to the lateral posture, and detects the cut line 118D of the portion packaging bags 118.
In the embodiment, the case where the portion packaging machine 100, the conveyor 200, and the inspecting machine 300 each have a separate casing has been described. However, without being limited to the configuration, the portion packaging machine 100, the conveyor 200 and the inspecting machine 300 may be housed in a single casing.
