PHARMACEUTICAL DISPENSING UNIT, PHARMACEUTICAL DISPENSING APPARATUS EQUIPPED WITH SAME, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PHARMACEUTICAL DISPENSING APPARATUS

摘要

A removal head with improved performance in terms of reading pharmaceutical information. The removal head of the present invention comprises a movement path component, a first braking component, and a sensor. The movement path component moves a substantially cylindrical pharmaceutical container that has an identification label and that has been taken out of a pharmaceutical container holding cassette that holds pharmaceutical containers. The first braking component is provided to the end of the movement path component, and stops the pharmaceutical container that has moved along the movement path component at a specific location. The sensor reads the identification label of the pharmaceutical container whose movement has been stopped at a specific location by the braking component. The movement path component has a movement face that moves along the movement path of the pharmaceutical container, and the movement face has a contact component that comes into contact with the pharmaceutical container.

主权项

1. A pharmaceutical dispensing unit, comprising:
a movement path component that moves a substantially cylindrical pharmaceutical container that has a first identification label and has been taken out of a cassette in which the pharmaceutical container is housed; a first braking component that is provided to the end of the movement path component and that stops the pharmaceutical container that has come along the movement path component at a specific location; and a sensor that reads the first identification label on the pharmaceutical container whose movement has been stopped at the specific location by the first braking component, wherein the movement path component has a first movement face that moves along a movement path of the pharmaceutical container, the first movement face has a first contact component that comes into contact with the pharmaceutical container, and the first movement face moves in the opposite direction from a movement direction of the pharmaceutical container.
