A drug packaging device includes a drug accommodating/dispensing unit that supplies various types of drugs, a drug packaging portion in which a drug supplied from the drug accommodating/dispensing unit is packaged in a packaging sheet, a drug packaging introducing member that drops the drug to be packaged into the packaging sheet in the drug packaging portion), a pooling portion that pools, upstream of this drug packaging introducing member, the drug, and a drug imaging device that captures an image of the drug in the pooling portion. The drug imaging device performs an imaging process of capturing an image of the drug in the pooling portion in a non-backlit state, and an imaging process of capturing an image of the drug in the pooling portion in a backlit state.

Drug imaging device and drug packaging device

Inspection of a shape-fixed medicine is performed before packing. A medicine inspection assistance device includes: a medicine support part for rotatably supporting a shape-fixed medicine by a first rotating roller and a second rotating roller, and a medicine imaging part having an imaging means for imaging the shape-fixed medicine supported by the medicine support part from above. The medicine support part is configured such that a contact position between the first rotating roller and the shape-fixed medicine is located above the second rotating roller and the contact position is closer to an axis of the first rotating roller than a gravity center position of the shape-fixed medicine.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a medicine photographing apparatus for reducing time and effort of a user operation at the time of measuring shapes of medicines, and a medicine shape measuring apparatus and a medicine dispensing apparatus which include the medicine photographing apparatus. A medicine photographing apparatusincludes a medicine holding part, a lighting part, a photographing part, a housingand a pivotally supporting part. The medicine holding part, the lighting partand the photographing partare contained in the housing having light shielding property. The medicine holding partis provided between the lighting partand the photographing part. Further, the medicine holding partcan hold a medicine with a portion having translucency and pivotally move due to the pivotally supporting part.

This drug-supplying device is provided with: a rotator that discharges drugs towards the outer diameter by being rotated; a drug shape-specifying unit for specifying the shape of the drug; and a control unit that rotates the rotator at a rotational speed specified, on the basis of a speed table that correlates drug shape to rotator rotational speed, by the shape that has been specified by a drug-detecting unit.

Medicine-supplying device and medicine-counting device

A medicine feeding apparatus includes a cylindrical body, a first rotating body, and a second rotating body. The first rotating bodyis disposed on the inner side of the cylindrical body, and together with the cylindrical body, constitutes a medicine storage sectioncapable of storing medicine. The first rotating bodycan reciprocate in the axial direction of the cylindrical body, and can rotate about a first rotary axis. The second rotating bodyis disposed on the outer circumference of an opening of the cylindrical body, and can rotate about a second rotary axis. This configuration has a function of smoothly performing automatic dispensing depending on the remaining amount of stored medicine while storing a large amount of medicine.

Systems and methods for preventing a container from being replenished with the wrong medicine are described. This is achieved by the following process: first, a user places a container on a placement unit and reads a symbol attached to a bottle. Then, a determination is made so as to whether the medicine in the bottle is the correct medicine. If the medicine is incorrect, a message indicating the medicine is incorrect is displayed. If the medicine is correct, a camera records video of the medicine replenishment operation. Once the medicine replenishment is completed, a photographed image of the medicine inside the container and an image of the correct medicine for replenishing the container are displayed. Then, the user views these images and confirms whether the medicine used to replenish the container was correct. If this confirmation is not completed, the medicine dispensing device will not dispense medicine from the container.

Medicine dispensing device

A tablet division feeder includes a moving unit to move a tablet T, a fixing blade located in a movement path of the tablet T, and a support plate extending from the fixing blade such that divided tablets Ton the fixing blade are transferred and kept onto the support plate. The fixing blade divides the tablet T into upper and lower divided tablets as the tablet T is moved in such a manner that the lower divided tablet Tis discharged and the upper divided tablet Tis transferred from the fixing blade to the support plate by the moving unit and kept on the support plate. The upper divided tablet Tis discharged from the support plate as the upper divided tablet Tis further moved by the moving unit in such a manner that the upper divided tablet Tis discharged from the moving unit.

A medicine feeding device is configured by providing a first rotor that rotates around a first shaft, a second rotor that rotates around a second shaft, a partition wall extending from the second rotor towards the first rotor, a medicine discharge port provided on the outside of the second rotor, a medicine guide section located in the downstream of a movement section in the medicine transport direction, and a height regulator disposed between the movement section and medicine guide section. In addition, the width regulator that is disposed between the medicine guide section and the height regulator is further provided. Also, a medicine counting device is further provided with a medicine detection means for detecting the medicine that is supplied from the medicine discharge port, and a counting means (central control unit) for counting the medicines based on the detection performed by the medicine detection means.

A tablet division feeder includes a moving unit to move a tablet T, a fixing blade located in a movement path of the tablet T, and a support plate extending from the fixing blade such that divided tablets T2 on the fixing blade are transferred and kept onto the support plate. The fixing blade divides the tablet T into upper and lower divided tablets as the tablet T is moved in such a manner that the lower divided tablet T1 is discharged and the upper divided tablet T2 is transferred from the fixing blade to the support plate by the moving unit and kept on the support plate. The upper divided tablet T2 is discharged from the support plate as the upper divided tablet T2 is further moved by the moving unit in such a manner that the upper divided tablet T2 is discharged from the moving unit.

A medicine feeding device is configured by providing a first rotorthat rotates around a first shaft, a second rotorthat rotates around a second shaft, a partition wallextending from the second rotortowards the first rotor, a medicine discharge portprovided on the outside of the second rotor, a medicine guide sectionlocated in the downstream of a movement sectionin the medicine transport direction, and a height regulatordisposed between the movement sectionand medicine guide section. In addition, the width regulatorthat is disposed between the medicine guide sectionand the height regulatoris further provided. Also, the medicine counting device is further provided with a medicine detection meansfor detecting a medicine that is supplied from the medicine discharge port, and a counting means (central control unit) for counting the medicines based on the detection by the medicine detection means
