[0001] The present invention relates to a medication picking apparatus including at least one shelf apparatus and at least one movable shelf management device for storing medication packages and for removing stored medication packages. [Background technology]

[0002] Automated or at least partially automated drug picking devices are known from the prior art and are used in pharmacies to allow space-saving storage of drug packages, whereby the drug packages are stored randomly or by type in the known drug picking devices suitable for pharmacies, in particular to avoid extra space due to random storage and to allow a significant increase in the number of stored drug packages. Summary of the Invention [Means for solving the problem]

[0003] Although this type of storage of medication packages appears to be fairly optimized, there is room for optimizing the storage capacity through the structural design of the shelf system of the medication picking device. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a medication picking device in which the storage capacity is optimized and increased.

[0004] This problem is solved according to the invention by a medicine picking device having the features of claim 1.

[0005] The medicine picking apparatus according to the present invention includes at least one shelf apparatus and at least one movable shelf management device for storing medicine packages and retrieving stored medicine packages, wherein the at least one shelf apparatus includes at least one vertical strut pair having two vertical struts, each of which is configured to extend in a longitudinal direction, a rear wall connected to the vertical strut pair, the rear wall having the two vertical struts arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart, at least one sidewall element pair having two sidewall elements, each of which is configured in a plate-like shape and removably connected to the assigned vertical strut, and at least one storage shelf having four linearly extending side edges and arranged between the sidewall elements, wherein the two vertical struts each include a plurality of storage shelf supports arranged in a longitudinal direction of the respective vertical struts, and the two sidewall elements each include a plurality of storage shelf receptacles arranged in a longitudinal direction of the respective sidewall elements. Furthermore, the at least one storage shelf comprises two corner portions configured to extend in a rounded or chamfered manner, wherein two side edges of the at least one storage shelf arranged oppositely are arranged at least partially in abutting support on the respective storage shelf receiving portions of the two side wall elements, and the respective storage shelf supporting portions of the two vertical struts are configured to carry and abut the two corner portions of the at least one storage shelf configured to extend in a rounded or chamfered manner.

[0006] Advantageous and preferred embodiments and further developments of the invention are evident from the corresponding dependent claims.

[0007] According to the present invention, a medicine picking device is provided which is characterized by a simple structure, in which the storage shelf support parts of the two vertical struts respectively support and abut two corner parts of at least one storage shelf which are configured to extend in a rounded or chamfered manner, and the side edge part of the at least one storage shelf which extends between the corner parts which extend in a rounded or chamfered manner can be arranged in contact with the rear wall at a very small distance, so that the space in the horizontal plane between the two vertical struts is optimally utilized up to the rear wall to store a maximum number of medicine packages, which advantageously results in an increased capacity compared to known medicine picking devices.

[0008] In one form of the invention, optimal space utilization is provided by having the storage shelf support portions of each of the two vertical struts configured to carry and abut two corner portions of at least one storage shelf configured to extend in a rounded or chamfered manner, and a side edge portion of the at least one storage shelf extending between the corner portions extending in a rounded or chamfered manner being positioned flush against the rear wall.

[0009] For optimal space utilization, the invention further contemplates in one form that each vertical strut is configured with a central portion to which a respective sidewall element is removably secured and from which first and second support wings extend in mirror symmetry with respect to one another, and a plurality of storage shelf supports are configured on the first and second support wings. Thus, each vertical strut serves multiple functions, and each vertical strut is used, among other things, for removably securing a sidewall element, supporting a corner portion of the storage shelf, and attaching the rear wall, and also contributes to the stability of the shelving arrangement.

[0010] In order to increase the functionality of the respective vertical struts and therefore for optimal space utilization, a further embodiment of the invention provides that the first support wing and the second support wing each comprise a connecting portion connected to the rear wall and a supporting portion, the supporting portion carrying a corner portion of the storage shelf assigned to it, which is configured to extend in a rounded or chamfered manner.

[0011] Here, in one embodiment of the invention, a compact arrangement is provided in which the connection portion is arranged to be located between the support portion and the central portion, which is particularly space-saving.

[0012] In order to connect each vertical strut to the rear wall, in a further embodiment of the invention it is advantageous if the connection portion is arranged to extend parallel to the rear wall and abuts the rear wall, and the support portion extends at an acute angle relative to the connection portion in a direction away from the rear wall.

[0013] For space-saving arrangement and optimization of the storage surface, the invention in a further form contemplates that each corner portion of the storage shelf configured to be chamfered and extended extends at an acute angle away from the rear wall with respect to a side edge of the storage shelf located between the two corner portions and arranged flush against the rear wall.

[0014] Here, in order to reliably abut and support the storage shelf, it is advantageous if the acute angle of each of the corner portions that are configured to be chamfered and extended is greater than the acute angle of each of the support portions.

[0015] Furthermore, in one form of the present invention, each storage shelf support among the multiple storage shelf supports is configured as a notch in the respective support portion, and a corner portion configured to extend in a rounded or chamfered manner is inserted into the notch, which contributes to improved compactness and optimal space utilization.

[0016] With regard to optimal space utilization and further improvement of compactness, the present invention in one form contemplates that a side edge of each side wall element is removably connected to an assigned vertical strut, a side edge of each side wall element facing the assigned vertical strut is formed with a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion extending in opposite directions from the corresponding side edge and parallel to the rear wall, and a plurality of storage shelf receptacles are configured as slots in the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion.

[0017] Compactness is also improved when the storage shelf is supported and held in abutment only at points, and in this regard, the present invention in a further form contemplates that at least a portion of a first side edge of the storage shelf extending from one of the rounded or chamfered corner portions in a direction away from the rear wall is supported and placed in abutment against the first support portion, and at least a portion of a second side edge of the storage shelf extending from the other of the rounded or chamfered corner portions in a direction away from the rear wall is supported and placed in abutment against the second support portion.

[0018] The medicine picking device according to the present invention is advantageously constructed in a modular manner, and therefore in one embodiment of the present invention, a first shelf row is provided in which a plurality of shelf devices are arranged side by side.

[0019] To ensure stability of the first shelf row, the present invention contemplates, in one form, that at least one longitudinal strut is provided, the at least one longitudinal strut extending transversely to the vertical struts of the first shelf row and removably connected to the vertical struts of the first shelf row.

[0020] Further possibilities for modular expansion of the drug picking device are contemplated in one form of the present invention by a second shelf row in which a plurality of shelf devices are arranged side-by-side, the second shelf row being positioned opposite the first shelf row, and the first and second shelf rows being positioned at a distance from each other to form an aisle for movement of a movable shelf management device in front of the first and second shelf rows.

[0021] Similarly, to ensure stability of the second shelf row, one form of the present invention contemplates that at least one longitudinal strut is provided, the longitudinal strut extending transversely to the vertical struts of the second shelf row and removably connected to the vertical struts of the second shelf row.

[0022] In order to create a frame-like structure with high stability for the two shelf rows, the present invention in a further form contemplates that at least one cross strut is provided which detachably connects one of the two vertical struts of the first shelf row to one of the two vertical struts of the second shelf row.

[0023] Finally, the present invention contemplates in a further embodiment that each pair of sidewall elements and each pair of vertical struts of two side-by-side shelving apparatuses comprises a vertical strut shared by the two side-by-side shelving apparatuses and a sidewall element shared by the two side-by-side shelving apparatuses. Thus, through the use of a shared sidewall element and a shared vertical strut in two side-by-side shelving apparatuses, a total of only three vertical struts and three sidewall elements are required, which advantageously reduces part count and therefore cost.

[0024] It will be understood that the features described above and below can be used not only in the respective combinations presented, but also in other combinations, or alone, without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined solely by the claims.

[0025] Further details, features and advantages of the subject matter of the invention will become apparent from the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown by way of example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0027] FIG. 1 shows a medicine picking apparatus 1 having a first shelf row 2 and a second shelf row 3, and in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the second shelf row 3 is arranged opposite the first shelf row 2. The interior situation of the medicine picking apparatus 1 is usually hidden by a number of rear walls 4 and a top wall 5, some of which are omitted in FIG. 1 so that the interior of the medicine picking apparatus 1 can be at least partially seen. In front of the first shelf row 2, a movable shelf management device configured to store medicine packages and to retrieve stored medicine packages is arranged, where the medicine packages are stored or will be stored in the first and / or second shelf rows 2, 3. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the first shelf row 2 and the second shelf row 3 are arranged at a distance from each other to form an aisle for movement of the movable shelf management device 6 in front of the first shelf row 2 and the second shelf row 3. Although two shelf rows are shown in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the drug picking device may include only one shelf row. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, both the first shelf row 2 and the second shelf row 3 include multiple shelf devices 7, and the shelf devices 7 are all essentially identically configured. The first shelf row 2 includes multiple shelf devices 7 arranged side by side, and the second shelf row 3 also includes multiple shelf devices 7 arranged side by side. It should be noted that although each shelf row includes multiple shelf devices in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, one shelf row may include only one shelf device.

[0028] In Figures 2 to 11, further details of each shelf device 7 of the drug picking device 1 are shown. Figures 2 and 3 show two shelf devices 7 arranged opposite each other, one of the two shelf devices 7 belonging to the first shelf row 2 and the other of the two shelf devices 7 belonging to the second shelf row 3. For the sake of clarity, in Figures 2 and 3, further shelf devices of the shelf rows 2 and 3 are omitted. Figure 5 shows an enlarged perspective view of the upper area of ​​the shelf device 7, and all shelf devices 7 of each shelf row 2, 3 of the drug picking device 1 are essentially identically constructed, so that in the following only the characteristics of one shelf device 7 will be described. Looking together at Figures 5 and 6, which show perspective views of individual parts of the shelf device 7, it can be seen that the shelf device 7 comprises a vertical strut pair 8 having two vertical struts 8a and 8b. The two vertical struts 8a and 8b are each configured to extend in the longitudinal direction, and in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the vertical struts 8a and 8b are configured identically to each other, although this is not required. Furthermore, the shelf device 7 includes a sidewall element pair 9 having two sidewall elements 9a and 9b. The sidewall elements 9a and 9b limit the shelf device 7 and prevent the stored drug packages from falling off the shelf device 7 laterally. The sidewall elements 9a and 9b are each configured as thin plates and are removably connected to the assigned vertical struts 8a and 8b, respectively. In this context, "assigned" means that the sidewall element 9a is removably connected to the vertical strut 8a, and the sidewall element 9b is removably connected to the vertical strut 8b. The shelf device 7 is further assigned a rear wall 4, which covers only one shelf device 7 or multiple shelf devices 7 arranged side by side toward the outside. Correspondingly, the rear wall 4 is connected to the vertical strut pair 8, with two vertical struts 8a and 8b being arranged in the rear wall 4 parallel to one another and spaced apart. Here, the rear wall 4 can be removably connected to the vertical strut pair 8, for example by means of a screw connection, although alternatively or additionally it is also conceivable for the rear wall 4 to be glued to the vertical strut pair 8. Furthermore, the side wall elements 9a and 9b are each removably connected to their assigned vertical struts 8a, 8b on the side of the vertical struts 8a, 8b remote from the rear wall 4.In the shelf device 7 according to the invention, the drug packages are stored in storage shelves 10, of which only one storage shelf 10 is shown as an example in Figs. 5 and 6. However, as can be seen from Fig. 1, a plurality of storage shelves 10 can be provided in each shelf row 7, the storage shelves 10 being arranged spaced apart from one another above and below. Such a storage shelf 10 has four linearly extending side edges 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d. As can be seen from Figs. 5 and 7, the storage shelf 10 is arranged between two side wall elements 9a and 9b. Here, the storage shelf 10 is not supported only by the side wall elements 9a and 9b. Instead, the storage shelf 10 is supported by both the vertical struts 8a and 8b and the side wall elements 9a and 9b. For this purpose, each of the vertical struts 8a and 8b is provided with a plurality of storage shelf supports 8c, which are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the respective vertical struts 8a, 8b. Similarly, each of the two side wall elements 9a, 9b comprises a number of storage shelf receptacles 9c arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction of the respective side wall element 9a, 9b.

[0029] A feature of the storage shelf 10 of the shelf device 7 of the present invention is that the storage shelf 10 does not have four sharp corners, but instead has two corner portions 10e and 10f that are configured to extend in a rounded or chamfered manner. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the corner portions 10e and 10f are configured to extend in a chamfered manner, but alternatively a rounded configuration of the corner portions is also conceivable. As can be further seen from Figures 5 and 7, the two side edges 10b and 10d of the storage shelf 10 arranged opposite each other are arranged at least partially in abutting support against the storage shelf receptacles 9c of the two side wall elements 9a, 9b, and the storage shelf 10 is supported in particular in the area of ​​the corner portions that are not rounded or chamfered. In contrast, the storage shelf support 8c of each of the two vertical struts 8a and 8b bears against and supports two corner portions 10e and 10f of the storage shelf 10 which are configured to extend with a chamfer, and as can be seen in particular from Figure 7, the side edge 10a of the storage shelf 10 which extends between the chamfered corner portions 10e and 10f is disposed flush against the rear wall 4. Here, the storage shelf support 8c only supports the corner portions 10e and 10f of the storage shelf 10 which are configured to extend with a chamfer.

[0030] 5 to 9 taken together, it can be seen that each vertical strut 8a, 8b is configured with a central portion 11. The central portion 11 is configured as a U-shaped hollow profile rail in a cross-sectional view. The central portion 11 is used for removably fastening one of the two side wall elements 9a, 9b, and for this purpose a number of receiving recesses 20 are configured on one side of the U-shaped hollow profile rail, which will be described in more detail below. From the central portion 11 extend a first support wing 12a and a second support wing 12b. More specifically, the first support wing 12a extends from the free end of one of the two sides of the U-shaped profile rail, and the second support wing 12b extends from the free end of the other side of the U-shaped profile rail. Furthermore, the first support wing 12a and the second support wing 12b extend mirror-symmetrically to each other with respect to a plane extending perpendicular to the rear wall 4. Here, the storage shelf support 8c is configured in a first support wing 12a and a second support wing 12b. The first support wing 12a comprises a connection part 14 connected to the rear wall 4 and a support part 15, which supports the corner part 10e or 10f of the storage shelf 10 assigned thereto and configured to extend in a chamfered manner. Similarly, the second support wing 12b comprises a connection part 14 connected to the rear wall 4 and a support part 15, which supports the corner part 10e or 10f of the storage shelf 10 assigned thereto and configured to extend in a chamfered manner. In both the first support wing 12a and the second support wing 12b, the connection part 14 is configured to be located between the support part 15 and the central part 11. Here, each support part 15 extends obliquely in a direction away from the connection part 14 and toward the central part 11.

[0031] In particular, it can be seen from Fig. 7 that the connecting portion 14 is arranged to extend parallel to the rear wall 4 and is in contact with the rear wall 4. Meanwhile, the support portion 15 extends at an acute angle 16 away from the rear wall 4 with respect to the connecting portion 14. Similarly, as can be seen from Fig. 7, each corner portion 10e or 10f of the storage shelf 10 configured to extend in a chamfered manner is located between the two corner portions 10e, 10f and extends at an acute angle 17 away from the rear wall 4 with respect to the side edge 10a of the storage shelf 10 arranged to be in flush contact with the rear wall 4. Here, the acute angle 17 of each corner portion 10e, 10f configured to extend in a chamfered manner is configured to be larger than the acute angle 16 of the respective support portion 15. As can be seen from Figures 8 and 9, each storage shelf support 8c is configured as a notch 18 in the respective support part 15, whereby a corner portion 10e or 10f configured to extend in a chamfered manner is arranged in the notch 18. The corner portion 10e, 10f of the storage shelf 10 configured to extend in a chamfered manner together with the storage shelf support 8c configured as a notch 18 and the obliquely extending orientation of the respective support part 15 allows the storage shelf 10 to be easily pushed onto the assigned support part 15, so that the storage shelf 10 comes into flush contact with the rear wall 4 with its side edge 10a. Here, the corner portions 10e, 10f configured to extend in a chamfered manner and the support portion 15 arranged to extend in an oblique manner provide sufficient tolerance compensation so that the storage shelf 10 is held reliably and stably supported in abutment.

[0032] As already mentioned above, the side edge of each side wall element 9a or 9b is removably connected to the assigned vertical strut 8a or 8b. For this purpose, a number of suspension hooks 19 arranged at a distance from one another are provided on the side edge of each side wall element 9a, 9b. These suspension hooks 19, which can be seen for example in FIG. 10, are inserted into assigned receiving recesses 20 (see for example FIG. 8) formed in the central parts 11 of the respective vertical struts 8a, 8b when the side wall elements 9a, 9b are assembled. For the abutment support of the storage shelf 10, the side edge of each side wall element 9a, 9b facing the assigned vertical strut 8a, 8b is provided with a first rest portion 21a and a second rest portion 21b. The first and second mounting portions 21a and 21b extend in opposite directions from the corresponding side edges of the respective side wall elements 9a, 9b and parallel to the rear wall 4, as shown, for example, in FIG. 7. Here, the mounting portions 21a, 21b are formed in the corner regions of the side edges 10b, 10c or 10d, 10c. Now, referring to FIG. 7, the mounting portion 21b of the side wall element 9a supports a portion of the side edge 10d, and the mounting portion 21a of the side wall element 9b supports a portion of the side edge 10b, but the mounting portion 21a of the side wall element 9a and the mounting portion 21b of the side wall element 9b do not support any portion of the side edge of the storage shelf 10. Instead, the mounting portion 21a of the side wall element 9a and the mounting portion 21b of the side wall element 9b serve to abut and support a portion of the storage shelf of the adjacent shelf row. 10 and 11, the storage shelf receiving portion 9c is configured as a slot 22 in the first mounting portion 21a and the second mounting portion 21b. As a result, at least a portion of the side edge 10b of the storage shelf 10 extending from one chamfered corner portion 10f in a direction away from the rear wall 4 is supported and placed against the first mounting portion 21a, and at least a portion of the side edge 10d of the storage shelf 10 extending from the other chamfered corner portion 10e in a direction away from the rear wall 4 is supported and placed against the second mounting portion 21b.

[0033] In the above embodiment, when only one shelf row is used, one of the two mounting portions 21a or 21b of the sidewall element 9a or 9b is always unused. Both mounting portions 21a or 21b of the sidewall element 9a or 9b are used when a plurality of shelf devices 7 are arranged side by side to form a shelf row. Thus, each sidewall element pair 9 and each vertical strut pair 8 of two shelf devices 7 arranged side by side includes a vertical strut 8a or 8b that is shared by the two shelf devices 7 arranged side by side, and a sidewall element 9a or 9b that is shared by the two shelf devices arranged side by side.

[0034] In order to prevent the storage racks 10 from moving away from the rear wall 4 from their supported position, the storage rack receiving parts 9c are each provided with a retaining projection 23 in addition to the slots 22, as can be seen in Fig. 11. Here, the retaining projection 23 is provided at one end of each slot 22 so as to prevent the storage racks 10 from moving away from the rear wall 4.

[0035] 2 and 3 further show that the shelf arrangement 7 is provided with longitudinal struts 24, which extend transversely to the vertical struts 8a, 8b of the vertical strut pair 8 and are removably connected to the vertical struts 8a, 8b. Here, in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, two longitudinal struts 24 are provided for each of the two shelf rows 2 and 3, and in the first shelf row 2 and in the second shelf row 3, the longitudinal struts are arranged both near the floor and near the ceiling. Here, each longitudinal strut 24 can extend beyond the area of ​​at least one shelf arrangement 7, and the longitudinal struts 24 preferably extend beyond several shelf arrangements 7. Thus, at least one longitudinal strut 24 is provided, which extends transversely to the vertical struts 8a, 8b of the first shelf row 2 and is removably connected to the vertical struts 8a, 8b of the first shelf row 2. Similarly, at least one longitudinal strut 24 is correspondingly provided, extending transversely to and removably connected to the vertical struts 8a, 8b of the second shelf row 3. Here, the longitudinal strut 24 provides increased stability for the respective shelf arrangement 7.

[0036] To further increase the stability of the two opposite shelf rows 7, cross struts 25, which can be seen in Figures 2 to 4, serve. Here, at least one cross strut 25 detachably connects one of the two vertical struts 8a, 8b of the first shelf row 2 with one of the two vertical struts 8a, 8b of the second shelf row 3. Particularly advantageously, two cross struts 25 are provided, one of the two cross struts 25 being arranged close to the floor and thus supporting the vertical struts 8a, 8b against the floor, and the other of the two cross struts 25 being arranged close to the ceiling and providing supporting against the ceiling wall 5.

[0037] As can be further seen in Figures 2 to 4, the side wall elements 9a, 9b are provided at their longitudinal ends with straight projections 26. The projections 26 provide space for a moving rail 27 on which the shelf management device 6 can move in front of the shelf apparatus 7 within the medicine picking apparatus 1.

[0038] The invention described above is of course not limited to the embodiments described and shown. It is clear that numerous modifications, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, can be made to the embodiments shown in the drawings, depending on the intended application, without departing from the scope of the invention. The present invention includes everything contained in this specification and / or shown in the drawings, including deviations from the specific exemplary embodiments, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art.
