Automatic apparatus for storing and dispensing packaged medication and other small elements
Abstract
[Subject] The system containing the bottle hopper which accommodates two or more small elements, such as a medicine, temporarily is offered. [Solution means] It is moved by a series of one-piece-ized conveyors out of a bottle, and an element is formed one [at a time] into 1 piece by them. After moving a series of elements obtained as a result onto the main system conveyor and identifying an element on this conveyor, it moves to the load mechanism which arranges an item so that it can perform 把持 (ing) and accommodating at any time. A system contains the extensive accommodation equipment containing a series of four upright cylinder type drums. Each drum can access separately, and can carry out an address, and has respectively two or more 隔 room accommodation positions for elements. 把持 equipment takes out an element from a load mechanism, and transports these elements to the position where the cylinder type drum was chosen. When it is going to distribute goods, a drum is rotated so that an extraction arm may adjoin the position of a request of a drum. An extraction arm is operated, a small element is pushed in the center of a drum from that slot, it falls on a conveyor here, and the item to which this conveyor was distributed is moved from a system.
