[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] (1) The utility model is a bottle feeding device for filling medicine bottles. The medicine bottles on the turntable are driven to rotate by the rotation of the turntable. During the rotation of the medicine bottles, the medicine bottles at the edge are guided into the bottle discharge channel through the third bottle guide for discharge. The rest are guided to the first bottle guide as the turntable rotates to the second bottle guide. The medicine bottles are arranged in sequence by the distance between the first bottle guide and the fixed part and enter the bottle discharge channel as the turntable rotates until it rotates to the third bottle guide. The medicine bottles on the rotating plate will gradually move toward the periphery due to the centrifugal force of the rotation until the medicine bottles of the same batch are arranged in sequence and discharged from the bottle discharge channel. The discharged medicine bottles enter the filling channel through the turning channel and are then input into the filling equipment for filling. The arrangement is efficient and orderly, saving time and manpower.

[0011] (2) The present invention provides a turning channel in a bottle feeding device for filling medicine bottles. Due to limited space, two adjacent devices may be at an angle, that is, the bottle discharge channel and the filling channel are at an angle. If the two channels are directly connected, there will be an angled turning position. When the medicine bottle passes through this position, the angle is too large to turn and it is easy to fall over, affecting the overall filling operation. The curved turning channel has a buffer distance, which can avoid the problem of the medicine bottle falling over due to turning. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
