Description

Vial supply device, medicine dispensing device, medicine-filled vial discharge device, frame rotation device for maintenance, and vial-type medicine preparation machine including the same The present invention relates to a vial supply device, a drug dispensing device, a vial discharge device filled with a drug, a frame rotation device for maintenance, and a vial-type drug dispensing facility including the same. Generally, pharmaceutical dispensing equipment is equipment that dispenses medication from a stored medication cassette according to medication dispensing information, such as a so-called prescription, and then packages it into a specific packaging method. Here, based on the medical systems such as medical laws of each country, in some countries including Korea, it is possible to use equipment that allows packaging into single doses in packaging made of materials such as film or paper, whereas in certain countries, the method of packaging into single doses is not permitted. In these countries, a method of providing patients with multiple medications filled into vials—small bottles made of glass or plastic—is permitted, and in this case, equipment is used to fill the appropriate amount of medication into the vials based on a prescription. In the case of a vial-type drug dispensing facility, as disclosed in Korean Published Patent No. 10-2010-0023797, a specific vial is moved from a state where multiple vials are stored to a place where the drug is dispensed, and after the drug is filled into the vial, the vial filled with the drug is finally discharged. However, conventional equipment as described above has several drawbacks, including difficulty in managing vial inventory, oversupply during vial supply, reduced efficiency due to failure to supply vials at specific required times, limitations on the size of supplied vials, inability to accurately dispense certain drugs into vials, inability to handle situations where a vial filled with a drug is positioned abnormally at the discharge port, and difficulties in maintenance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for research on vial-type drug dispensing equipment to solve the aforementioned problems.
