The bottle unscrambling machine 11 comprises an inclined bottle feeding slide 112 , a bottle feeding hopper 111 is arranged above the bottle feeding slide 112 , and a bottle feeding vibrator 113 is arranged below the bottle feeding slide 112 .

[0034] The press 12 includes a bottle feeding bin 121 and a bottle feeding channel 122. The top of the bottle feeding channel 122 is arranged below the end of the bottle feeding slide 112, and the end of the bottle feeding channel 122 is arranged above the bottle feeding bin 121. The bottom outlet of the bottle feeding bin 121 is just above the conveyor chain 7. In this embodiment, the bottle feeding channel 122 is a rotating slide.

[0035] The filling mechanism 2 includes a medicine feeding hopper 21, a pulley 22 and a sorting channel 23. A conveying chain 24 is sleeved on the pulley 22. Counting strips 25 are arranged at equal intervals on the conveying chain 24. The bottom outlet of the medicine feeding hopper 21 is connected to the counting holes on the counting strips 25 on the conveying chain 24. The sorting channel 23 is arranged below the counting holes on the counting strips 25 located at the other end of the conveying chain 24. The bottom outlet of the sorting channel 23 is just located above the conveying chain 7.

[0036] The capping mechanism 3 comprises a cap feeding hopper 31, a cap feeding vibrator 32, a cap feeding track 33 and a bottle cap guide block 34. The bottom outlet of the cap feeding hopper 31 is arranged above the cap feeding vibrator 32. The end of the cap feeding vibrator 32 stops at the upper end of the cap feeding track 33. The upper end of the cap feeding track 33 is also provided with a kicking wheel 35. The lower end of the cap feeding track 33 is fixedly connected to the bottle cap guide block 34. A capping cylinder 36 is arranged above the bottle cap guide block 34.

[0038] The blister inserting mechanism 5 includes a motor fixing plate 51, on which a horizontal motor 53 is arranged, which is connected to a vertical fixing plate 52, on which a vertical motor 54 is arranged, which is connected to a clamping cylinder 55, which is connected to a clamping claw 56; when the bottle is put into the blister, the horizontal motor 53 and the vertical motor 54 move until the clamping claw 56 is just located above the blister.

[0039] When the above device is working, the encoder controls the driving motor to drive the conveyor chain 7 to perform intermittent motion. Each time the conveyor chain 7 stops moving, the bottom outlet of the bottle feeding bin 121, the bottom outlet of the sorting channel 23, and the bottom of the bottle cap guide block 34 are aligned with the corresponding vials 10; the empty vials 10 are continuously fed into the bottle feeding hopper 111, and under the vibration of the bottle feeding vibrator 113, the empty vials 10 pass through the bottle feeding slide 112 and the bottle feeding channel 122, enter the bottle feeding bin 121, and finally fall into the corresponding clip 8 The pills pass through the medicine feeding hopper 21 and enter the counting holes on the pill counting strip 25. When the pill counting strip 25 rotates with the conveying chain 24 and reaches the top of the sorting channel 23 under the rotation of the pulley 22, the pills in the counting holes fall into the sorting channel 23, and then fall into the vials 10 on the clamps 8 below the sorting channel 23.
