2、发明的技术领域 The present invention relates to a medicine packing apparatus which separately supplies a medicine required for each application time, and packs it with packing paper, such as a tablet packing apparatus and a powdered medicine packing apparatus used in medical facilities such as hospitals an

3、d pharmacies, and more particularly concerns a medicine packing apparatus having which functions to attach and detach medicine containers housing medicines, such as tablets and capsules, to and from a shelf section on a medicine supplying shelf.最新的发明是一个药物包装仪器。它能在每次使用的时候单独给予药物包装。就好像医院和药房等使用的用于药片包装，粉末

4、状药物包装的仪器。更特别的是这个仪器拥有区分同一药品货架上的储存类药品：如药片，胶囊。 2. 2.Description of the Background Art 背景技术的描述 众所周知，传统的药物包装装置以种类为基础进行药品分类，并将药物吸纳在药剂容器中而且任何一个多元化的货架都与每个容器的药物有关。这种类型的药物包装装置，根据每个货架的货架号，将所需的药物从相应的药剂容器中取出，并进行包装。例如，日本已审核专利号1-14081公开的一种药物的自动包装装置，在该装置中的代码都被分配给各自的药剂容器，并通过操作装置上的一个操作键，将所需的药物放在预定的位置进行选择。日本已审核专利号3-41

5、208公开了一种片剂的供给装置，根据装置中每片的识别信息来确定位置信息，指定所需的片馈线和相应的片剂供给。日本已审核专利号2-933837公开了一种药剂包装装置，一旦安装药剂容器，装置将读取它的医药数据并存储它的链接地址。所以，根据每个药物的链接地址，可以达到所需的药物供应和包装的目的。然而，在上述传统的药物包装装置中，尚未充分考虑在交换药物容器上的可操作性。换句话说，虽然每个药物的本身的信息是很重要的，但通过使用维护屏幕会改变药物货架编号，当然它是不可能直接改变每个货架号码和相应的药剂的匹配的。在实际情况下，作为一名药剂师，需要知道每一个架子和相应的药物之间的对应关系，而这严重的加强了操作者

6、的负担。此外，操作维护屏幕也是复杂的，而且往往会造成输入的错误，其结果是导致药剂师的药物的配给和包装过程变得困难。此外，它也使药剂师难以精确地操作从相应的货架上安装或者拆卸一个药剂容器这一过程。正式因为如此，才更需要一个能区分出现在一个区域内药物的药物包装装置，以此来说明哪些药物是附属的，哪些药物是单独使用的。特别的，在一个小尺寸的药物包装装置中，由于有的药剂供给架上的药剂容器是很小的，而药剂容器的交换是经常进行的，从而导致从药架上拿取药剂容器的时候会产生较高的错误率。发明内容：因此，本发明的一个目的是发明一种药物包装装置并使它可以进行额外的操作，比如在药剂包装操作期间可以进行拆卸和交换药物容

7、器。为了实现上述目标，本发明的药物包装装置，其中各种药按各自种类分别连接到一个多元化的货架上，这是为了方便从相应的药物容器中供应和包装相应的药物，包括一个存储单元，用于存储各自货架和安置药品的各种药物容器的各种号码。一个控制单元，用于控制存储单元存储药物所在药物容器和安装有药物容器的货架的对应关系，以及用于擦出从所述存储单元中对应关系后，药物容器从货架上拆卸这一过程。有了这项安排，仅仅从各自的货架上安装或拆卸药剂容器，将不会影响货架号码和相应的药品之间的关系。因此就有可能进行附加的操作，比如在药品包装操作过程中拆换药物容器。出于这个原因，即使在各种药品的数目超过现有的货架数的这种情况下，它通过

8、在包装过程中交换药物容器也能处理这样的情况。此外，当一个显示货架编号和存放药物的部件之间关系或者货架编号和药物取出部件之间关系的显示元件被添加到该装置中，它使确认从各自的货架部分安装和拆卸药物容器这一操作变得可能。这样的安排使操作者有可能防止在进行安装和拆卸过程中发生混淆。在这种安排下，显示单元循序显示有药物容器的货架部分的货架数量，包括含有处方药的货架的货架部分的数据连接和非处方药货架的货架部分的数据连接，使货架部分的药物容器很容易指定更换变得可能，提高了可操作性。在药物容器中添加检测元件，可以检测一个药物容器货架上的部分是存在或者缺失，进一步的添加这一安排，根据药剂容器检测单元的检测信号，

9、控制单元命令显示单元显示药物容器是连接在货架上还是已从货架上拆卸掉了。因此，它可以自动地检测药物容器的安装和拆卸操作，并因此而提高了可操作性，同时防止错误的安装操作。在这种情况下，根据要记得识别信息读出单元的检测信号并从一种药物的识别信息读出单元，该读取识别信息对应的药物是在装有药物容器的货架中，进一步添加这一安排，根据从医学识别信息读取单元而产生的检测信号，控制单元，使显示单元显示对应的药物和部分货架的货架编号。因此，它能够自动识别各种药物，从而进一步的提高可操作性。BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 附图说明附图 Other objects and feat

14、方式的药物包装装置。这种药物包装装置包括一个供给装置（单元1），一个包装装置（单元2），一个显示装置（单元3）例如液晶显示器或者CRT（阴极射线管）显示器，一个输入装置（单元4）例如键盘鼠标或者触摸面板，和一个存储装置（单元5）例如硬盘或者闪速存储器，以及作为一个整体的由一个中央处理单元（CPU）控制的药物包装装置（单元6），在此，参考编号11表示一个主计算机。药品供应装置（单元1）中设有一些药及容器，用于容纳药物，如片剂和胶囊，而且有许多能从其中可以自由安装和拆卸药剂容器的供给架。此外，手动药剂供给单元（未显示）也为提供没有药剂容器的药物做了准备。药剂供给和对应的货架部分是已指定的，以便于在

15、每个应用程序的时间内通过提供的药物包装装置从药剂容器中选择指定数目的药物。在此，供药架可以被做成各种形状，例如平面形状和圆筒状。药物包装装置（单元2）是从包装纸卷筒截取的一段有热融合性能的印有药物效期包装纸为基础，并且根据包装袋含有的药物量来决定的包装的长度和宽度尺寸。显示单元（3）和输入单元（4）用于操作输入整个药物包装装置的操作，输入处方数据和各种主文件，例如药物主文件的操作。显示单元（3）在屏幕上显示一个处方数据和一个药物容器的安装和拆卸过程。如图4所示，处方数据通过安装在中央处理单元（CPU）的一个日历时钟输入屏幕显示目前的日期作为药物制造的时期。所需的处方数据有操作者（药剂师）输入到

16、框下面的病人号码。例如，当键盘输入的病人号码“9803 8671”，相应的病人的名字（假名字符，中文字符），性别（男=1，女=2）和出生日期（名称的时代：明治=1，大正=2，昭和=3，平成=4）读取病人的主文件，并显示出来。就年龄方面来说，通过目前的日期和出生日期来计算相应的年龄并显示。医生开出的处方的日期就是处方日期。虽然目前的日期是优先显示的，但是任何所需的日期可以覆盖和输入其中。当代码被输入到各自的医疗机构中，医疗部，医生，病房和处方室等各自的名称数据将被从相应的各种主文件中读取并显示出来。例如当“01”是被输入到医疗保健部分的代码，“内科”被显示出来。门诊/住院（门诊=1，住院=2）是

17、一个病人的分类代码。“药交换卡”，即通过门诊会计处理完成后，所需交纳的费用数目。由于这个例子显示了门诊处方，住院使用处的病房代码和病房号吗是空白的。将一个药品和应用相结合的“处方”的序列号输入到表格“处方号”处。关于“处方”，其中多数可以输入。然后，药物包装主要基于“处方”，就是说，药物包装的基础是在处方号数据的基础上进行的。“代码”框是用来输入药品代码或应用程序代码。当这些代码被输入时候，颈丛药品主文件或者应用程序主文件中读取各称数据冰心是初恋。虽然“代码”框通常用于输入药品代码（例如，“标签.A”），当在框的头部输入“/”符号，就可以将应用程序代码输入在下面的部分（例如，“301”）。在这

18、里，药物名称对应的药物代码和相应的应用程序代码“301”，也就是应用程序显示在“早餐/午餐和晚餐后”的名字。关于“剂量/天”框，每天药物剂量的药物代码已在医药行中国输入。从药物主文件中读出单位（T,CAP,g等）并显示出来。在此，已经输入生产线的应用程序的程序代码，包括天数的输入（例如。“三天”）。关于“药物的用法用量”框，一个疗程的用量，初一根据情况（起床后，早上，中午，晚上，睡觉前，午夜，第七次，第八次）所需用量，将结果输入框中。附件2：外文原文（复印件）1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to a medicine

19、 packing apparatus which separately supplies a medicine required for each application time, and packs it with packing paper, such as a tablet packing apparatus and a powdered medicine packing apparatus used in medical facilities such as hospitals and pharmacies, and more particularly concerns a medi

20、cine packing apparatus having which functions to attach and detach medicine containers housing medicines, such as tablets and capsules, to and from a shelf section on a medicine supplying shelf.2. Description of the Background ArtConventional medicine packing apparatus has been known in which medici

21、nes are classified based upon the kinds, and housed in medicine containers, and each of the medicine containers is attached to any one of a plurality of shelves. In the medicine packing apparatus of this type, based upon the shelf number applied to each shelf, a required medicine is supplied from th

22、e corresponding medicine container, and packed.For example, Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 1-14081 discloses a medicine automatic packing apparatus in which codes are assigned to respective medicine containers, and through a key operation on an operation apparatus, a desired medicine conta

23、iner placed in a predetermined position can be selected.Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 3-41208 discloses a tablet supplying apparatus in which, based upon positional information in accordance with identifying information of each tablet feeder, a required tablet feeder is specified, and the

24、 corresponding tablet is supplied.Japanese Patent No. 2933837 discloses a medicine packing apparatus in which, upon attaching a medicine container, medicine data is read and the attached place is stored, so that, based upon the attached place data of each medicine, a desired medicine is supplied and

25、 packed.However, in the above-mentioned conventional medicine packing apparatuses, consideration has not been sufficiently given to the operability at the time of exchanging medicine containers. In other words, although information of each medicine itself is important, the shelf numbers for the resp

26、ective medicines are changed by using a maintenance screen; therefore, it is impossible to directly change the medicine corresponding to each shelf number. In an actual case, a pharmacist, that is, the operator needs to know the corresponding relationship between each shelf number and the correspond

27、ing medicine, and this imposes serious loads on the operator. Moreover, the operation of the maintenance screen is complicated, and tends to cause input mistakes, with the result that it is difficult for the pharmacist to operate it during a medicine packing process. Further, it is also difficult fo

28、r the pharmacist to confirm the operations of attaching and detaching a medicine container to and from the corresponding shelf section. For this reason, there has been a demand for a system for detecting the presence or absence of a medicine container on a shelf section and for displaying the shelf

29、section to which a medicine is attached or the shelf section from which a medicine is detached.In particular, in the case of a small-size medicine packing apparatus, since there are few shelf sections of medicine supplying shelves and since the medicine containers are small, the exchange of medicine

30、 containers is frequently carried out, causing a higher probability of attaching mistakes of medicine containers to the shelf sections.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAccordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a medicine packing apparatus which makes it possible to carry out the operation

31、s of attaching, detaching and exchanging medicine containers during a medicine packing operation.In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a medicine packing apparatus of the present invention, in which medicine containers housing medicines are classified into respective kinds and are attached

32、 to a plurality of shelf sections so as to supply and pack the corresponding medicine from the corresponding medicine container of the shelf section, includes: a storing unit for storing shelf numbers of the respective shelf sections and the respective kinds of medicines housed in the medicine conta

33、iners; and a control unit for allowing the storage unit to store the corresponding relationship between the kind of a medicine housed in the medicine container and the shelf number upon attaching the medicine container to the shelf sections, and for erasing the corresponding relationship from the st

34、orage unit upon detaching the medicine container from the shelf.With this arrangement, by only attaching and detaching medicine containers to and from the respective shelf sections, the shelf numbers and the corresponding kinds of medicines are shown in parallel with each other. Therefore, it become

35、s possible to carry out the operations of attaching, detaching and exchanging medicine containers during a medicine packing operation. For this reason, even when the kinds of medicines become more than the number of the shelf sections, it is possible to deal with such cases by exchanging the medicin

36、e containers during a packing process.Moreover, when a display unit which displays the corresponding relationship between the shelf number of the shelf section to which the medicine container is attached and the medicine placed therein or the corresponding relationship between the shelf number of th

37、e shelf section from which the medicine container is detached and the medicine detached therefrom, is added to this apparatus, it becomes possible to confirm the operations of attaching and detaching the medicine containers to and from the respective shelf section, and this arrangement makes it poss

38、ible to prevent the operator from being confused even when the number of attaching and detaching operations increases.In this arrangement, when the display unit is allowed to display shelf numbers of the shelf sections to which medicine containers containing medicines included in prescription data a

39、re attached and shelf numbers of the shelf sections to which the other medicine containers that contain no medicines included in the prescription data are attached, shelf sections in which medicine containers are easily exchangeable are readily specified so that it becomes possible to improve the op

40、erability.In the case when a medicine container detecting unit, which detects the presence or absence of a medicine container on the shelf section, is further added to this arrangement, based upon a detection signal from the medicine container detecting unit, the control unit allows the display unit

41、 to display the shelf number of the shelf section to which the medicine container is attached or the shelf number of the shelf section from which the medicine container is detached. Thus, it becomes possible to automatically detect the attaching and detaching operations of the medicine containers, a

42、nd consequently to improve the operability while preventing erroneous attaching operations.In the case when a medicine identifying information reading unit, which reads medicine identifying information of a medicine container on a shelf section, is further added to this arrangement, based upon a det

43、ection signal from the medicine identifying information reading unit, the control unit allows the display unit to display the medicine and the shelf number of the corresponding shelf section. Thus, it becomes possible to automatically identify the kinds of medicines, and consequently to further impr

44、ove the operability.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGSOther objects and features of the present invention will become clear from the following detail description with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a medicine packing apparatus;FIG.

50、d a medicine supplying shelf having a number of shelf sections to and from which the medicine containers are freely attached and detached. Moreover, a manual medicine supplying unit (not shown) used for supplying medicines without medicine containers is also prepared. The medicine supplying shelf se

51、lects a specified number of medicines from the medicine containers attached to shelf sections corresponding to the medicines that have been specified so as to be packed for each application time and supplied to the medicine packing apparatus 2. Here, the medicine supplying shelf may be formed i

52、nto various shapes such as a plane shape and a cylinder shape.The medicine packaging unit 2 drops medicines supplied based upon each application time from a medicine shoot onto packing paper (packing sheet) having a thermal fusing property that is drawn from a packing paper roll, and therm

53、ally fuses and seals the lateral and longitudinal portions of the packing paper to successively form packed bags containing the medicines.The display unit 3 and the input unit 4 are used for operation inputs to the entire medicine packing apparatus, input operations for prescript

54、ion data and data inputs for various master files such as medicine master files.The display unit 3 displays a prescription data input screen and a medicine container attaching and detaching screen.As shown in FIG. 4, the prescription data input screen displays the present date counted by a

55、 calendar clock installed in the central processing unit (CPU) 6 as the medicine preparation date. Desired prescription data are inputted to frames below the patient number by the operator (pharmacist). For example, when key board inputs are given as the patient number “98038671”, the corr

56、esponding patient name (Kana characters, Chinese characters), sex (male=1, female=2) and date of birth (name of era: Meiji=1, Taisho=2, Showa=3, Heisei=4) are read from the patient master file, and displayed. With respect to the age, the corresponding age is displayed by calculating from the present

57、 date and the date of birth. The date on which the prescription is issued by the doctor is displayed as the prescription date. Although the present date is displayed at first, any desired date can be overwritten and inputted. When respective codes are inputted to the medical organization, medical care section, doctor, ward and prescription frames, the respective name data are read from the various corresponding master files, and displayed. For example, “01” is inputted as the medical care section code, “internal medicine” is displayed. Outpatient/inpatient code (outpatient=1, inpatient=2) is
