AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, as shown in the figure, since this automatic medicine packaging device 10 arranges the medicine box body 20 in the limited space provided on the upper part of the main body 10, the medicine is supplied through the above-mentioned medicine box body 20. Since the storage space is limited, the quantity of medicines that can be supplied to the automatic medicine packaging device 10 is limited, and thus the work efficiency of the medicine packaging work may decrease.

[0005] And, in the existing automatic medicine packaging device 10, when all the medicines stored in the medicine box body 20 are used up, after stopping the driving of the automatic medicine packaging device 10, it is necessary for a pharmacist or an administrator to start the automatic medicine packaging device 10 Separate the medicine box body 20 and directly replenish the medicines into the medicine box body 20, so the medicine filling work is cumbersome, and in order to fill the medicines, there are pharmacists or administrators who need to know the medicines to be filled in the medicine box body 20 one by one inventory difficulties

[0006] In addition, pharmacists or administrators need to install the filled medicine boxes 20 to the original installation positions one by one, so the work of replenishing medicines becomes very cumbersome, and if the medicine boxes 20 are installed in a position different from the original location, wrong medicines may be collected / packaged, which may be the cause of drug accidents
