control means for controlling a position of at least one of the first and second drums and the main transfer robot so that an opening of the vial held by the main transfer robot is aligned with an outlet of the selected guide passage.
Inside the tablet storage and take-out apparatus 1, as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4, and 5, there are provided: a vial supply part 100, a labeling part 200, a tablet supply part 300, a photographing part 400, a cap supply part 500, a capping part 600, and a storage part 700. The vial supply part 100 is provided on the right side of the main body 10 as viewed from the front, as shown in FIG. 2, and stores a large number of vials 3 by size and supplies, one by one, vials 3 of a size suitable for filling tablets in accordance with prescription data. The labeling part 200 is provided at the lower center of the main body 10 as viewed from the front, and puts a label with printed prescription information on a vial 3 supplied from the vial supply part 100. The tablet supply part 300 is provided on the left side of the main body 10, and stores a large number of tablets (non-pyrazolone) by type and supplies tablets in accordance with prescription data. The photographing part 400 is provided, as shown in FIG. 4, on the center back side of the main body 10, and photographs a vial 3 from above for the purpose of auditing the tablets delivered to the vial 3. The cap supply part 500 is provided, as shown in FIG. 3, on the right side of the main body 10 and behind the vial supply part 100, and stores caps 2 for plugging the vials 3, and supplies the caps one by one. The capping part 600 is provided on the center back side of the main body 10, and plugs a vial 3, which is filled with tablets, with a cap 2 supplied from the cap supply part 500. The storage part 700, as shown in FIG. 5, stores vials 3 filled with tablets and plugged with a cap 2 so that they can be taken out by an operator through take-out ports 30 a, 30 b, and 30 c.
To the upper end of the movable half drum 301 b, a half top panel 302 b is provided which has a substantially fan-like shape as shown in FIG. 9, and to the lower end thereof, a half ring 308 b is fixed as shown in FIG. 10. Spindles 314 provided at the top and bottom ends of one circumferential end portion of the movable half drum 301 b are, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, rotatably fitted to one ends of links 316 whose the other ends are rotatably fitted with spindles 315 in between to the upper ring 304 and the lower ring 309, respectively. This permits the movable half drum 301 b to be rotatable between a working position, where the movable half drum 301 b faces the fixed half drum 301 a so as to be formed together into a cylinder, and an open position as shown in FIG. 9, where the movable half drum 301 b separates from the fixed half drum 301 a thereby opening the inside of the drum 301. The other circumferential end of the movable half drum 301 b is disengageably coupled to a circumferential end portion of the fixed half drum 301 a. The link 316 moves when the fixed half drum 301 a is opened from the working position to the open position, thus permitting this opening operation at a wide angle while preventing the tablet feeders 340 of the movable half drum 301 b from interfering with the tablet feeders 340 of the fixed half drum 301 a.
The photographing part 400 is, as shown in FIG. 5, built by fitting a digital camera 402 to the end of a support member 401 fitted to the main body 10 such that the lens of the digital camera 402 faces downward. The digital camera 402 is so configured as to be capable of photographing the interior of the vial 3 already filled with tablets and delivered by the third transfer robot 350 from above the vial 3. The support member 401 is movable horizontally in the anteroposterior direction and the left-right direction and also liftable vertically with respect to the main body 10, by a driving motor (not shown) which is driven and controlled by the device controller 802.
