Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention mainly relates to a method for packaging drugs.

In order to provide high-quality medicines to patients at hospitals and doctors' offices, we have recently begun dispensing tranquillizers, tablets, or capsules according to prescriptions, and packaging these individually. , or combined and packaged, or supplied by various means. The methods that have already been adopted for this packaging method include, as mentioned above, the drug and tablet or capsule medicine that are packaged together in a K1 bag, which combines the two into a single-dose package; A system is adopted in which drugs and tablets are packaged in capsules (hereinafter simply referred to as capsules), and all of these are stored in the patient's medical record.
Since the product is manufactured by IIA at a pharmacy according to the prescription, the specifications are always unique for each patient, and therefore it is necessary to conduct a post-packaging inspection to ensure that there are no errors in the packaging operation. Therefore, with the method of packaging medicines and tablets/capsules in one bag, it is difficult to ensure this after packaging. For this reason, hospitals and other institutions that dispense large quantities of medicines do not use packaging that combines them with medicines, but instead use separate packaging methods. In a device that performs a series of continuous packaging, there are many problems due to the structure of the machine for sequentially packaging powders, tablets, etc. when individually packaging each dose. First, powdered medicines and tablets, capsules, and other casings are packaged on the same fin.The structure of the process is complicated, and accurate operation is required to package them according to instructions. Therefore, there is no other way than to pack the medicine and tablets in a certain order, and also give specific instructions to the patient on how to use them. k also lacks accuracy, which is inconvenient and inconvenient.

The present invention solves certain problems and allows arbitrary combinations of separate packaging of powdered medicines, capsules, and capsules according to the prescription, accurate auditing of whether or not the prescription is followed, and moreover, the present invention allows for the provision of single-dose packaging for a patient. It is an object of the present invention to provide a packaging method in which it is possible to easily indicate how many sachets to take, and to operate with a series of sachets.

Ninthly, in order to achieve the new purpose of the present invention, powders and tablets are supplied in fixed quantities to the bag-formed portions by sequentially moving the good drug packaging paper to form packaging partitions one after another. Solid medicines are divided into predetermined amounts via hoppers into the bag-formed portions by separate supply means, and a drive control mechanism is separately instructed to send the undelivered mail of each medicine supply means. Based on the order stored by the numerical control means, the medicines and one-form medicines selected in an arbitrary arrangement are linked to the feed of the bag-making section and are repeatedly separated and fed into the bag-making bag for the required number of doses. Powder medicines and solid medicines can be packaged according to the prescription by sealing them, applying an identification means to the partition part of the continuous cast for each dose, and cutting into the required number of packages. It is.

Then, by operating the drug #'1liIIO, at least one day's worth of doses is prepared, divided into the required doses, and each dose is supplied to the hopper. In general, it is preferable to divide the total amount by volume into the required number and send each volume divided into the hopper into the hopper.

Dispense the required number of solid medicines (tablets, capsules containing 9 medicines) into the required dispensing containers, and send them to the same or 11 homes. ) is carried out by a transport mechanism such as a conveyor.

Control numerical values are programmed and stored in advance using these operation command line punviators, and the supply mechanism for each drug, the packaging paper feeding mechanism, and the sealing mechanism are linked in a predetermined order by this combinator and control command signal. If you do this, you can automatically pack the desired amount. Of course, it is possible to use a well-known computer for this control, and all that is required is to combine the necessary conditions for the product.Additionally, separate sachets of 6 cp, each containing K15 per dose, can be used. As a means of identification, according to the prescription, the proportion of oral medicine and M-form medicine should be at least 2 packages, and if there are more than 2 packages, they should be divided into arbitrary combinations, each sealed and packaged, and each package should be separated. There are perforations in the sticker part of the divider, so there are multiple sections for one dose! ! In the Je position, the cut part is inserted into the middle of the series. Alternatively, perforate the partition # of each sachet and cut it to the middle, cutting it completely for each dose (suitable when there are many separate sachets for single doses). Or, each packaging partition sK should be perforated, and the partition position corresponding to one batch should be marked with ink, etc.
! A method of printing marks or letters to indicate that this is the No. 11 dosing compartment. Those who can be hired.

By performing the operations of each unit in such a way that each unit operation of forming a series of packaging bags, inserting medicine, sealing, and identifying a single dose is performed in one straight line, the computer can control #a. In combination with the mechanism, any combination can be translated #
This has made it possible to perform accurate post-packaging inspections without any mistakes, making it easier to provide patients with accurate medication in a short time.

The method of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings for one embodiment. FIG. 9. For example, mix the required drug according to the patient's medical record using a mortar or the like, or use the pre-prepared drug (including grains) f.
r# A transport cylinder 11) having a capacity that can accommodate a predetermined amount of medication is loaded into the hopper (1) and the container density is determined by opening the K shutter 111 and placing it first. 1. Next, move this conveying cylinder (1) so that it matches the upper end opening of the measuring container (3), and transfer the medicine in the conveying cylinder (1) into the container (3). The container 181 is, for example, of a type in which a piston, J, moves up and down by a set distance in the cylinder stomach of an upright vehicle, and a trap is set up so that a predetermined amount of medicine can be divided and supplied according to one rising dimension of the piston +4. The drug hopper pushed upward from the upper end of the cylinder (sl.
(This measuring container is not limited to the above-mentioned model.) And said measuring capacity! II The 9-dose drug extractor body (4) divided by il+ is installed on a gear-driven movable rotary disk (@) shown above the supply hopper (@) in the diagram. The hole in the pipe is interrupted by KIE.

This rotating disk (S) is designed to rotate intermittently according to a required program, and the measuring volume @ fil is
It is designed to intermittently reciprocate between the upper part and the upper part of the supply hopper fil.

In contrast to such a medicine supply system, a mechanism for supplying hard medicines such as tablets is set up in a separate system, and distributing valves (+I+) of appropriate depth with shutters on the bottom are arranged in, for example, three rows. 3 each
This distribution valve 4u) is divided into Xn pieces (n is the number of days and is arranged like 7, 14, 21).
At the bottom of the arrangement section, a nine conveyor US is installed, which is equipped with a large number of conveyor boxes that move intermittently and stop at positions corresponding to the respective distribution boxes. It is operated by an intermittent drive mechanism 113IK that moves independently for each column. A screw conveyor 04 is disposed below the tip of each conveyor (+!i) to send the one-form drug (a) sent from the can conveyor to the transfer section to the supply hopper. A small stationary rotating disk 17) is disposed between the screw conveyor I4 and the rotating disk (・), and is rotated intermittently by 180° by a motor. The solid drug that entered the hole i part (a
) is received in advance into the hole of the hopper (6), which is a rotary disk of # type located at the top of the hopper (6), and is held therein. The drug supply mechanism tIQ is a system in which each drive mechanism separately preassembles the settings for the divided feeding amount and delivery procedure in the drug measuring container (3), and the solid drug supply procedure. The electronic control circuit is operated by the computer's rate system, which is commanded by a programmed program, to operate on each 5XIUA signal in the order selected by the operator.

Of course, the packaging paper bag) is pre-folded in half and is continuously fed out in the required length by the motor 18), and is intermittently pulled out from the rolled part based on #+, and this 1111K part that will become the partition is Vertical heat seal version @
The seals are formed one after another by sealing at a preset pitch. This packaging bag may be made by sequentially pulling out flat bags and folding them in half.

In order to package using the above-mentioned device, determine the type of drug and afv-drug packaging according to the previous Kl & Method, and pack tablets as solid medicine for one package of drug per dose. 1"
If it is a package and a capsule T-1 package, prepare the required amount for the drug supply system, and install a distribution valve and 1N in the solid drug supply system.
), put tablets (a) and capsules (individually in order),

It is extruded by the excitation, and is received in the required hole by LgI#j displacement of the Machino Kaimatsu disk insert equipped with a scraping body (4), 6) (aJ movement at the time of startup) The hole crystal with the scraping body (4) attached to the circulation disk (6) is moved laterally so that it is positioned above the measuring volume II fil), and then returns to the upper position of the supply hopper (ink). When the powder is displaced by 1 IIJ of the required transfer angle, the powder is discharged from the scraping body (4) into the hopper (I) and into the one-pack compartment (B) of the series opened just below it. sent. Following this, the astral medicine supply side first distributed * 11! A shutter (not shown) located below moves and opens, and the single drug, capsule,

and is placed into the sachet-formed sachet section (b) located directly below it. Following this, the next capsule (me) receiving transport box U4 is transported from the screw conveyor 114 via the rotating disk (s+, ty) to the supply hopper (6) in the same manner as in the case of the locking, and is then placed at the next location. Packing area* (1)
It will be put in within 5. In addition, in the darkness where each of these operations is carried out, the packaging paper (the powder is dispensed in one sachet compartment at a time, and when the required drug is put into that compartment, it moves one pitch and reaches the upper end of the opening. are sealed using a pair of horizontal heat-sealing plates, and the 4 [J
Once one dose, that is, three packets, have been transferred, a cutter is created and cuts the partition part of the series to a position a suitable distance below the upper end, and thereafter, this twisting operation is repeated sequentially to remove the necessary damage. Separate the packaging. It should be noted that the continuous packages divided during this process are cut by a cutter (2) for, for example, one day's worth, and in the case of the above-mentioned - every nine packages, so that they can be easily stored and handled. Of course, it goes without saying that this cutting position can be arbitrarily selected.

An example of the divided packaging obtained as described above is shown in Fig. 2.As mentioned above, this package consists of three types of powders ω, -open and open, and capsules (at) packaged individually. The packaging is designed so that it can be divided into 8 minutes by cutting (C) to separate the doses.In addition, Fig. 9J capital (the first 5t in the phrase - cut each (φ),
IIi blunt cut part (C
) can also be made into a shape. Such operations can be arbitrarily determined by limiting the operating range of the cutter using finger ◆ signals to the cuckoo.

Note that, as described above, the distribution of the drugs to be packaged can be freely combined by selecting the # nod according to the patient's prescription, and this can be done reliably on a series of packaging lines.

In addition, as a means of identification, a printing means is attached to an appropriate position, and when the control mechanism section confirms that the packaging for a single dose has been completed and issues a signal, the printing means is printed on or near the corresponding partition. so that users can take it without making mistakes.
It is possible. It goes without saying that this method can be employed in combination with the cutting method.

Historically, according to the AT of the present invention, the drug supply hopper and 1
1 Separate medicine supply hopper and carrier forming paper (folded in half and divided into sections) are arranged in a straight line, and separate packaging compartments are provided for each. In this case, due to the arrangement of the six hoppers, the control system can be set so that the packaging paper is fed irregularly depending on the type of drug υ11. It can be processed without any delay.

Furthermore, in accordance with the inconvenience of the present invention, it can be carried out without using a packaging type device as described above, and in particular, the portion for dispensing medicines in portions can be prepared in a 0J style medicine receiving box. , even if this method is divided into required attacks and packaged, it can be similarly adopted.

As described above, according to the method of the present invention, a pharmacist can easily and simply inspect the medicines packaged in each sachet by observing them from the outside to see if they are in accordance with the prescription. Since it can be sequentially divided into 134 packaging bags,
The operation is not complicated, and it is easy to carry out Ny, T, etc., so you can safely give the patient the g of the medicine to be taken even in a wide variety of packaging tasks.
This made it possible to streamline drug dispensing operations at hospitals and other facilities.
