摘要:
The invention relates to a commissioning apparatus for pharmacies or hospitals with an an enhanced serviceablility. The apparatus comprises a plurality of dosing stations (2), each dosing station having an output opening for dispensing solid drug portions, and collecting means (17) for collecting dosed quantities of solid drug portions dispensed by the dosing stations (2) and for forwarding the dosed quantities of solid drug portions to a packaging means (3), wherein a plurality of fall ducts (7) is arranged for guiding the solid drug portions from the output openings to the collecting means (17), each fall duct (7) having an outlet and a number of inlet openings, the output openings of the dosing stations (2) being aligned with the inlet openings of the fall ducts (7) when a fall duct (7) is positioned adjacent to a column (V) of dosing stations (2). Each fall duct (7) consists of at least a first part (7a) and a second part (7b), forming the fall duct when the parts are assembled, the parts (7a, 7b)being detachably connected together so that the parts can be detached for maintenance and cleaning purposes.

A storage and dosing station for storage and dispensing dosed quantities of solid drug portions. A stationary part (20b) of the station is to be mounted to a frame (4) of an apparatus for packaging solid drug portions, the stationary part (20b) comprising a first part of a dispensing device. A controller and a drive for driving an individualizing mechanism for dispensing separate solid drug portions is comprised by the first part. A detachable part (20a) is coupled to the stationary part (20b) and comprises a storage container for receiving a plurality of solid drug portions. A second part of the dispensing device, and an information memory means (21a) is comprised in the second part. Information reading means (21b) on the stationary part are coupled to the controller, wherein the information reading means can read information stored in the information memory means (21a), if the detachable part (20a) is coupled to the stationary part (20b). The information memory means (21a) store data that are used by the controller to control the operation of components of the dispensing device.

A system for packaging dosed quantities of solid drug portions comprises a plurality of dosing stations (2) for dispensing a dosed quantity of solid drug portions, a plurality of guiding ducts (7), a plurality of collecting containers (17) for receiving drug portions guided through the guiding ducts (7), and at least one discharge and packaging station (3) for transferring drug portions collected by each collecting container (17) to a packaging and for closing the packaging. The guiding ducts (7) are coupled to a transport means (6a, 6b, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16) for moving the guiding ducts (7) along the dosing stations (2), wherein each guiding duct (7) is adapted to receive drug portions dispensed from at least one of the dosing stations (2) when the guiding duct (7) is positioned at the at least one dosing station (2), and to guide the received drug portions to an passage opening of the guiding duct (7). The collecting containers (17) are also coupled to the transport means (6a, 6b, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16) so that each collecting container (17) can be positioned at the passage opening of one of the guiding ducts (7) to receive drug portions guided through the guiding duct (7).

The invention relates to a apparatus for packaging dosed quantities of medicines and method for operating such apparatus, and in particularly to a method with an enhanced operating reliability. The apparatus (1) comprises a plurality of dosing stations (2) for dispensing solid drug portions, and a plurality of collecting means (7, 17) for collecting dosed quantities of solid drug portions and for forwarding the dosed quantities of solid drug portions to a packaging means (3), wherein each dosing station (2) has an outlet (25) and each collecting means (7, 17) comprises an identifier means (71). The apparatus comprises a conveying means (6a, 6b, 15) comprising a plurality of mounting means (8, 16) arranged in a chain, wherein each collecting means (7, 17) is detachably mounted to one of the mounting means (8, 16) and moved by the conveying means (6a, 6b, 15) along the dosing stations (2), so that the collecting means (7, 17) can receive the solid drug portions dispensed at the outlets (25) of the dosing stations (2). Control means (19) control the operation of the dosing stations, the conveying means and the packaging means. Input means (80, 81) are coupled to the control means (19) for inputting the collecting means identifier. The control means (19) is being configured so as to maintain a mapping between identifiers assigned to each mounting means or mounting position and the unique collecting means identifiers of the collecting means (7, 17).
摘要:
An apparatus for packaging dosed quantities of solid drug portions comprises a plurality of storage containers each storing a plurality of drug portions and having a dosing means for dispensing first dosed quantities of drug portions, a plurality of moving collecting containers for collecting drug portions and for outputting the collected drug portions to a packaging station, and guiding means for guiding the drug portions dispensed by the dosing means to the collecting containers. The apparatus comprises an ancillary dosing station (5) for delivering second dosed quantities of drug portions to the collecting containers, and transport means for moving the collecting containers between at least one first location at which the collecting containers receive the drug portions from the guiding means, at least one second location at which the collecting containers receive the drug portions from the ancillary dosing station (5), and at least one third location at which the collecting containers output the collected drug portions to the packaging station, the collecting containers being moved along a predetermined path.
