PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a medicine checking device capable of properly checking the quantity of solid medicines without causing checking trouble due to overlap or contact between the solid medicines and the presence of a packaging paper, and a medicine dispenser provided with the medicine checking device.SOLUTION: A medicine checking device 10 is provided with: a checking unit 14 provided with a plurality of checking regions 26a-26c in which medicines to be checked are disposed a vibrator 16 capable of generating vibration independently in each of the checking regions an image capturing unit 18 capable of capturing an image of the medicines disposed in the checking unit 14 a medicine information detector 66 capable of detecting either or both of the quantity and the type of the medicines on the basis of the image obtained by the image capturing unit 18 and a distribution sensor 62 for sensing the distribution of the medicines in the checking unit 14 on the basis of the image obtained by being captured by the image capturing unit 18. In the medicine checking device 10, the vibrator 16 generates vibration in a region selected on the basis of the result of the sensing by the distribution sensor 62 among the checking regions 26a-26c.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】固形薬剤の重なりや接触、分包紙の存在などに伴う鑑査不良が起こらず、固形薬剤の数量を適切に鑑査可能な薬剤鑑査装置、及び当該薬剤鑑査装置を備えた薬剤払出装置の提供を目的とした。【解決手段】薬剤鑑査装置10は、鑑査対象の薬剤が配置される鑑査領域26a~26cを複数備えた鑑査部14と、前記鑑査領域毎に独立的に振動を発生させることが可能な振動手段16と、鑑査部14に配置された薬剤を撮影可能な撮影手段18と、撮影手段18によって得られた画像に基づき、薬剤の数量及び種類のいずれか一方又は双方を検出可能な薬剤情報検出手段66と、撮影手段18により撮影して得られた画像に基づいて鑑査部14における薬剤の分布を検知する分布検知手段62とを備えている。薬剤鑑査装置10においては、振動手段16が、鑑査領域26a~26cのうち、分布検知手段62の検知結果に基づいて選定される領域において振動を発生させる。【選択図】図4
