[0013] Further, the clamping control assembly comprises a hollow column I, a rotary joint, a hollow column II, a clamping electric telescopic rod and a control rod, the rear end of the hollow column I is fixedly connected to the front connecting frame, the center of the hollow column I is arranged to coincide with the center of the turnover roller, the front end of the hollow column I is connected to the rear end of the hollow column II through the rotary joint, the front end of the hollow column II penetrates through the center of the front rotating drum and extends to the outside of the rotating drum, and the outer peripheral side of the front end of the hollow column II is fixedly connected to the top end of the control rod, the bottom end of the control rod is fixedly connected to the front end of the clamping electric telescopic rod, and the rear end of the clamping electric telescopic rod is installed on the front bracket. The hollow column I can rotate relative to the hollow column II through the rotary joint, and the hollow column I and the hollow column II can still communicate through the rotary joint in this process. By means of the rotary joint, the clamping electric telescopic rod and the control rod do not need to rotate in the process of rotating the turnover roller, which facilitates power supply to the clamping electric telescopic rod and control of the work of the clamping electric telescopic rod. When the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, the hollow column I, the rotary joint and the hollow column II can be driven to move backward through the control rod, so as to drive the front connecting frame to move backward. When the clamping electric telescopic rod is lengthened, the hollow column I, the rotary joint and the hollow column II can be driven to move forward through the control rod, so as to drive the front connecting frame to move forward. Thus, the control of clamping the medicine bottle can be realized by means of the opposite transmission assembly, the mounting sleeve and the movable sleeve.

[0014] Further, the sleeve anti-interference retraction control mechanism comprises a telescopic column, a radial through slot is formed in the position corresponding to the mounting sleeve on each circular cover, one end of each of the two movable sleeves away from the mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two longitudinal telescopic columns, the two telescopic columns penetrate through the corresponding radial through slots, the outer sides of the two telescopic columns are respectively sleeved with two compression springs, the other ends of the two telescopic columns are respectively fixedly connected with two limiting circular plates, the middle parts of the ends of the two limiting circular plates away from each other are respectively rotationally connected with two guide wheels, a circular arc guide slot is formed in the side of each lifting adjusting disc close to the circular cover, the center of the circle where the circular arc guide slot is located is arranged to coincide with the center of the lifting adjusting disc, the two ends of the circular arc guide slot are communicated through a straight line guide slot, and the circular arc guide slot and the straight line guide slot form a closed guide slot, each guide wheel respectively extends into the corresponding closed guide slot, and one end of the compression spring abuts against the limiting circular plate and the other end abuts against the movable sleeve.

[0015] The counterclockwise rotation of the turnover roller drives the two circular covers to rotate counterclockwise and drives the two movable clamping sleeves to rotate counterclockwise. The movable clamping sleeves drive the guide wheels to rotate counterclockwise through the telescopic columns and the limiting circular plates. The guide wheels move counterclockwise along the closed guide groove composed of the circular arc guide groove and the straight line guide groove. In the process of the two movable clamping sleeves moving close to each other, the elastic force of the compression spring makes the telescopic column elongate, so as to ensure that the guide wheels are always in rolling connection with the side wall of the closed guide groove during the movement of the movable clamping sleeves. Since the center of the circle where the circular arc guide groove is located coincides with the center of the lifting adjustment disc, the relative position of the mounting clamping sleeve and the movable clamping sleeve is fixed when the guide wheel is in the circular arc guide groove. At this time, the movable clamping sleeve extends the maximum distance from the vertical groove. When the guide wheel enters the left end of the straight line guide groove, with the continuous counterclockwise rotation of the turnover roller and the circular cover, the guide wheel moves right along the straight line guide groove, so that the movable clamping sleeve gradually shrinks into the vertical groove. At this time, the movable clamping sleeve gradually shrinks into the vertical groove and moves downward at the same time, so as to avoid interference between the movable clamping sleeve and the upper surface of the secondary conveying assembly when the movable clamping sleeve extends too long from the vertical groove. When the guide wheel is in the middle of the straight line guide groove, the movable clamping sleeve shrinks into the vertical groove to the maximum extent, and the distance between the movable clamping sleeve and the vertical groove is the smallest. Then the turnover roller and the circular cover continue to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the guide wheel moves to the right end of the straight line guide groove and is ready to enter the circular arc guide groove. At this time, the movable clamping sleeve gradually extends from the vertical groove and moves to the right, preparing for the next clamping operation of the medicine bottle.

[0016] Further, the medicine bottle adsorption mechanism is further provided, which comprises a suction cup and a negative pressure control assembly. Two suction cup installation grooves are formed on the two sides of the circular arc guide groove, and two suction cups are installed in the two suction cup installation grooves, respectively. The two suction cups are connected with the negative pressure control assembly. When the medicine bottle is matched with the circular arc guide groove on the turnover roller, the negative pressure control assembly provides negative pressure for the suction cup, and the medicine bottle is adsorbed by the suction cup, so that the medicine bottle can be stably placed in the circular arc guide groove. Until the medicine bottle is turned over, the negative pressure control assembly releases the pressure of the suction cup to release the medicine bottle.

[0017] Further, the negative pressure control assembly comprises a soft tube one, a three-way joint, a soft and hard tube joint, a soft tube two, a negative pressure cylinder and a cylinder seat, the rear end of the hollow column one is fixedly connected with one port of the three-way joint, the other two ports of the three-way joint are respectively connected with one end of two soft tube ones, the other end of the two soft tube ones is respectively connected with two suction cups, the front end of the hollow column two is connected with one end of the soft tube two through the soft and hard tube joint, the front side of the bracket is fixedly connected with the cylinder seat, the cylinder seat is installed with the longitudinal negative pressure cylinder, the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder faces the rear, and the rear end of the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder is fixedly connected with the front side of the control rod, the other end of the soft tube two is connected with the front end of the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder. When the medicine bottle needs to be clamped, the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, when the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder is driven to move backward through the control rod, the piston in the piston rod draws the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder into a negative pressure state, the negative pressure in the cylinder body is transmitted to the suction cup through the soft tube two, the hollow column two, the rotary joint, the hollow column one and the soft tube two, the medicine bottle is adsorbed and fixed, and thus the clamping and fixing and the adsorption and fixing of the medicine bottle can be realized at the same time through one clamping electric telescopic rod, so that the medicine bottle is more stable during turning.

[0018] Further, the medicine bottle conveying and sorting mechanism further comprises a sorting assembly, and the sorting assembly is installed at the conveying opening on the right side. The inverted medicine bottle can be sent from the conveying opening on the right side to the transfer assembly on the right side through the sorting assembly, so that the inverted medicine bottle can be sent to the right end of the secondary conveying assembly through the transfer assembly.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the bottle turning device in the pharmaceutical conveying process has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The main conveying assembly conveys the medicine bottles from right to left, the inverted medicine bottles are sorted out from the conveying opening on the right side and sent to the transfer assembly on the right side, and the inverted medicine bottles are finally transferred to the right end of the secondary conveying assembly under the pushing of the inverted medicine bottles on the rear side. The secondary conveying assembly conveys the inverted medicine bottles from right to left, the lifting control assembly is used for driving the bracket to move up and down, so that the two lifting adjusting discs drive the medicine bottle turning execution mechanism to move up and down to adapt to medicine bottles of different heights. The medicine bottle turning execution mechanism clamps the middle part of the medicine bottle through the medicine bottle turning clamping mechanism, and then the medicine bottle turning execution mechanism drives the medicine bottle turning clamping mechanism to clamp the medicine bottle to turn 180 degrees, so that the inverted medicine bottle is placed upright on the secondary conveying assembly on the left side of the medicine bottle turning execution mechanism. Then the secondary conveying assembly continues to convey the turned medicine bottles to the left, and the medicine bottles are moved to the transfer assembly on the left side and finally gathered on the main conveying assembly through the conveying opening on the left side under the continuous pushing of the subsequent medicine bottles. The turning operation of the medicine bottles on the secondary conveying assembly does not affect the conveying of the upright medicine bottles on the main conveying assembly, and the conveying efficiency of the medicine bottles is high.

[0021] 2、Two connecting frames can be close to or away from each other by means of the opposite transmission assembly, which can drive two mounting clamps to be close to or away from each other, thereby driving two movable clamps to be close to or away from each other, when the two movable clamps are close to each other, the middle part of the medicine bottle can be stably clamped by means of the two stable clamping execution assemblies, which can avoid the medicine bottle from separating from the arc carrying groove on the turnover roller during the overturning of the inverted medicine bottle, the setting of the clamping interference inner retraction control mechanism makes the movable clamp retract into the longitudinal groove when it faces downward, avoiding the length of the movable clamp protruding from the longitudinal groove being too long to bump into the upper side of the secondary conveying assembly, the clamping control assembly is used for pushing and pulling the front connecting frame to move forward and backward, thereby controlling the two movable clamps to be close to or away from each other by means of the opposite transmission assembly, realizing the clamping and loosening operation of the medicine bottle.

[0022] 3、When the medicine bottle needs to be clamped, the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, when the clamping electric telescopic rod is shortened, the piston rod of the negative pressure cylinder is driven to move backward by the control rod, the piston in the piston rod draws the cylinder body of the negative pressure cylinder into a negative pressure state, the negative pressure in the cylinder body is transmitted to the suction cup by means of the hose two, the hollow column two, the rotary joint, the hollow column one and the hose two, realizing the adsorption and fixation of the medicine bottle, thereby the clamping and fixation and the adsorption and fixation of the medicine bottle can be realized at the same time by means of one clamping electric telescopic rod, making the medicine bottle more stable during overturning.

[0041] The transfer assembly comprises an inclined conveying plate 18 and a baffle 19, one end of each of the two inclined conveying plates 18 is connected to the two ends of the auxiliary conveying frame 15 respectively, the other end of each of the two inclined conveying plates 18 corresponds to the bottom of each of the two conveying openings respectively, and two baffles 19 are arranged at the top of each of the two inclined conveying plates 18 respectively.

[0042] The medicine bottle conveying and sorting mechanism 1 further comprises a sorting assembly, and the sorting assembly is installed at the conveying opening on the right side. With the aid of the sorting assembly, the inverted medicine bottle can be sent into the right transfer assembly from the right conveying opening, so that the inverted medicine bottle can be sent to the right end of the auxiliary conveying assembly through the transfer assembly.

[0043] Specifically, the sorting assembly comprises a sorting shaft 112, a sorting motor 113, a sorting guide plate 114, and a guide vertical roller 115. The sorting shaft 112 is vertically connected to the position corresponding to the left end of the conveying opening on the right side of the front barrier 14. The top of the sorting shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the sorting motor 113. The sorting motor 113 is installed on the top of the front barrier 14. The middle part of the sorting shaft 112 is fixedly connected to the left end of the sorting guide plate 114.

Two brackets 24 are respectively installed on the top of the two lifting control assemblies. Two lifting adjustment discs 25 are respectively installed on the two brackets 24 through bolts. The two lifting adjustment discs 25 respectively correspond to the two recessed parts on the two sub-barriers 17.

[0049] Specifically, the lifting control assembly comprises seat plates 21, guide columns 22, and lifting electric telescopic rods 23. Two seat plates 21 are fixedly connected to the middle front and back of the auxiliary conveying frame 15 respectively. Two guide columns 22 are vertically and slidably connected to each seat plate 21 respectively. The top of each guide column 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of a corresponding bracket 24. The bottom end of each lifting electric telescopic rod 23 is fixedly connected to each seat plate 21. The top end of each lifting electric telescopic rod 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of a corresponding bracket 24. The extension and retraction of the two lifting electric telescopic rods 23 can drive the two brackets 24 to move up and down, thereby driving the two lifting adjustment discs 25 to move up and down. The guide columns 22 and the seat plates 21 cooperate to make the brackets 24 move up and down more stably.

[0050] The medicine bottle overturning actuator 3 is installed between the two lifting adjustment discs 25, and the medicine bottle overturning clamping mechanism 4 is installed on the medicine bottle overturning actuator 3.

The middle part of the outer side of the two rotating drums 31 is respectively rotatably connected with the middle part of a corresponding lifting adjustment disc 25 through a bearing. The front end of the front rotating drum 31 is connected with the overturning power assembly.

[0052] The overturning power assembly comprises a driven gear 32, an overturning motor 33, and a driving gear 34. The outer circumferential side of the front end of the front rotating drum 31 is fixedly connected with the driven gear 32. The overturning motor 33 is installed on the front lifting adjustment disc 25. The output shaft of the overturning motor 33 is fixedly connected with the driving gear 34. The driving gear 34 is meshingly connected with the driven gear 32. The driving gear 34 rotates through the transmission of the driven gear 32 when the overturning motor 33 works, thereby driving the front rotating drum 31 to rotate through the circular cover 35, and driving the overturning roller 36 to rotate through the circular cover 35.

[0053] The turnover power assembly is used to drive the rotating drum 31 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the lifting adjusting disc 25. During the conveying of the inverted medicine bottle on the sub-conveying assembly from right to left, the inverted medicine bottle will finally meet the circular arc carrying groove 37 on the turnover roller 36 towards the right side with the counterclockwise rotation of the turnover roller 36. The turnover roller 36 facilitates carrying the inverted medicine bottle by means of the circular arc carrying groove 37. The counterclockwise rotation of the turnover roller 36 can turn the inverted medicine bottle by 180 degrees, so that the inverted medicine bottle is placed upright at the position of the sub-conveying assembly on the left side of the turnover roller 36. The longitudinal groove 38, the middle groove 39 and the end groove 310 are used to install the medicine bottle turnover clamping mechanism 4. The circular cover 35 is used to open the end groove 310, thereby facilitating the arrangement of the medicine bottle turnover clamping mechanism 4 in the middle groove 39 and the end groove 310.

[0054] The medicine bottle turnover clamping mechanism 4 comprises a mutual transmission assembly, a connecting frame 46, an installation clamping sleeve 47, a movable clamping sleeve 48, a stable clamping execution assembly and a clamping control assembly. The mutual transmission assembly is installed in the middle groove 39. The front and rear ends of the mutual transmission assembly are fixedly connected with two connecting frames 46, respectively. One end of each of the two connecting frames 46 is fixedly connected with one of the two installation clamping sleeves 47 by a screw. The installation clamping sleeves 47 are distributed along the radial direction of the turnover roller 36. The other end of each of the two installation clamping sleeves 47 is slidably connected with one end of one of the two movable clamping sleeves 48 on the outside. The two movable clamping sleeves 48 pass through the two ends of the longitudinal groove 38, respectively. The ends of the two movable clamping sleeves 48 away from the installation clamping sleeves 47 extend to the outside of the turnover roller 36, respectively. The other ends of the two movable clamping sleeves 48, which are close to each other, are respectively provided with the two stable clamping execution assemblies. The front connecting frame 46 is fixedly connected with the rear end of the clamping control assembly. The front end of the clamping control assembly is installed on the front bracket 24. The sides of the two movable clamping sleeves 48 away from each other are respectively connected with the corresponding lifting adjusting disc 25 through the clamping sleeve anti-interference retraction control mechanism 6.

[0055] The two connecting frames 46 can be close to or away from each other by means of the mutual transmission assembly, which can drive the two installation clamping sleeves 47 to be close to or away from each other, thereby driving the two movable clamping sleeves 48 to be close to or away from each other. When the two movable clamping sleeves 48 are close to each other, the middle part of the medicine bottle can be stably clamped by the two stable clamping execution assemblies, thereby avoiding the medicine bottle from separating from the circular arc carrying groove 37 on the turnover roller 36 during the turnover of the inverted medicine bottle. The clamping sleeve anti-interference retraction control mechanism 6 is arranged to retract the movable clamping sleeve 48 into the longitudinal groove 38 when the movable clamping sleeve 48 faces downward, thereby avoiding the movable clamping sleeve 48 from knocking against the upper side of the sub-conveying assembly due to the excessive length of the movable clamping sleeve 48 extending out of the longitudinal groove 38. The clamping control assembly is used to push and pull the front connecting frame 46 to move forward and backward, thereby controlling the two movable clamping sleeves 48 to be close to or away from each other by means of the mutual transmission assembly, to realize the clamping and releasing operations of the medicine bottle.

[0056] The opposite transmission assembly comprises dovetail grooves 41, dovetail slides 42, racks 43, gear shafts 44 and central gears 45, the middle part of the middle groove 39 is provided with longitudinal dovetail grooves 41 on the upper and lower sides respectively, two dovetail slides 42 are slidably connected in the two dovetail grooves 41 respectively, two racks 43 are fixedly connected to the sides close to each other of the two dovetail slides 42 respectively, a gear shaft 44 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the side of the middle groove 39 away from the longitudinal groove 38, a central gear 45 is rotatably connected to the gear shaft 44, the ends close to each other of the two racks 43 are meshingly connected to the upper and lower sides of the central gear 45 respectively, and the ends away from each other of the two racks 43 are fixedly connected to two connecting frames 46 through bolts respectively.

[0057] The gear shaft 44 is used for rotatably installing the central gear 45, the cooperation of the dovetail grooves 41 and the dovetail slides 42 allows the two racks 43 to move only forward and backward, when the clamping control assembly pushes the connecting frame 46 on the front side to move backward, the connecting frame 46 on the front side can push the rack 43 on the front side to move backward, the rack 43 on the front side can drive the rack 43 on the back side to move forward through the transmission of the central gear 45, so that the two connecting frames 46 are close to each other, at this time, the two mounting clamps 47 are close to each other, and the two movable clamps 48 are also close to each other, so that the medicine bottle on the right side of the turnover roller 36 can be clamped.

[0058] When the clamping control assembly pulls the connecting frame 46 on the front side to move forward, the connecting frame 46 on the front side can pull the rack 43 on the front side to move forward, the rack 43 on the front side can drive the rack 43 on the back side to move backward through the transmission of the central gear 45, so that the two connecting frames 46 are away from each other, at this time, the two mounting clamps 47 are away from each other, and the two movable clamps 48 are also away from each other, so that the medicine bottle on the left side of the turnover roller 36 after turnover can be loosened.

[0059] The stable clamping execution assembly comprises arc clamping plates 49, dismounting studs 410 and dismounting nuts 411, two longitudinal dismounting studs 410 are penetratingly arranged on the sides close to each other of the ends of the two movable clamps 48 on the outer side of the turnover roller 36, the ends of the dismounting studs 410 on the outer side of the movable clamps 48 are fixedly connected with the arc clamping plates 49, and the ends of the dismounting studs 410 on the inner side of the movable clamps 48 are threadedly connected with the dismounting nuts 411.

[0060] The arc clamping plate 49 is detachably installed with the movable clamping sleeve 48 by means of the dismounting stud 410 and the dismounting nut 411, and different sizes and materials of the arc clamping plate 49 can be replaced. When the two movable clamping sleeves 48 are located at the right side of the turnover roller 36, the clamping control assembly drives the two movable clamping sleeves 48 to approach each other by means of the connecting frame 46 and the opposite transmission assembly, thereby driving the two arc clamping plates 49 to approach each other. The two arc clamping plates 49 cooperate to stably clamp the middle part of the medicine bottle located at the right side of the turnover roller 36, avoiding the medicine bottle from falling out of the arc carrying groove 37 when the turnover roller 36 turns counterclockwise, and realizing stable clamping of the medicine bottle during the turnover process.

[0061] The clamping control assembly includes a hollow column one 412, a rotary joint 413, a hollow column two 414, a clamping electric telescopic rod 415, and a control rod 416. The connecting frame 46 at the front side is fixedly connected to the rear end of the hollow column one 412, the center of the hollow column one 412 is coincidentally arranged with the center of the turnover roller 36, the front end of the hollow column one 412 is connected to the rear end of the hollow column two 414 through the rotary joint 413, the front end of the hollow column two 414 penetrates through the center of the front-side rotary drum 31 and extends to the outside of the rotary drum 31, and the top end of the control rod 416 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential side of the front end of the hollow column two 414. The bottom end of the control rod 416 is fixedly connected to the front end of the clamping electric telescopic rod 415, and the rear end of the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is installed on the front-side bracket 24.

[0062] The hollow column one 412 can rotate relative to the hollow column two 414 through the rotary joint 413, and the hollow column one 412 and the hollow column two 414 can still communicate through the rotary joint 413 during this process. By means of the rotary joint 413, the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 and the control rod 416 do not need to rotate during the rotation of the turnover roller 36, which facilitates power supply to the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 and control of the work of the clamping electric telescopic rod 415.

[0063] When the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is shortened, the hollow column one 412, the rotary joint 413, and the hollow column two 414 can be driven to move backward through the control rod 416, thereby driving the connecting frame 46 at the front side to move backward. When the clamping electric telescopic rod 415 is lengthened, the hollow column one 412, the rotary joint 413, and the hollow column two 414 can be driven to move forward through the control rod 416, thereby driving the connecting frame 46 at the front side to move forward. Thus, the control of the clamping of the medicine bottle can be realized by means of the opposite transmission assembly, the mounting clamping sleeve 47, and the movable clamping sleeve 48.

[0064] The jacket anti-interference retraction control mechanism 6 comprises radial through grooves 61, telescopic columns 62, compression springs 63, limiting round plates 64, guide wheels 65, circular arc guide grooves 66 and straight line guide grooves 67. Each circular cover 35 is provided with a radial through groove 61 at the position corresponding to the installation of the jacket 47. Two movable jackets 48 are fixedly connected to one end of two longitudinal telescopic columns 62 respectively at the side away from each other near the end of the installation jacket 47. The two telescopic columns 62 pass through the corresponding radial through grooves 61 respectively. The outer sides of the two telescopic columns 62 are respectively sleeved with two compression springs 63. The other ends of the two telescopic columns 62 are respectively fixedly connected with two limiting round plates 64. The two limiting round plates 64 are respectively rotatably connected with two guide wheels 65 at the middle ends away from each other. Each lifting adjusting disc 25 is provided with a circular arc guide groove 66 at the side close to the circular cover 35. The center of the circle where the circular arc guide groove 66 is located is coincident with the center of the lifting adjusting disc 25. The two ends of the circular arc guide groove 66 are communicated through straight line guide grooves 67. The circular arc guide groove 66 and the straight line guide groove 67 form a closed guide groove. Each guide wheel 65 extends into the corresponding closed guide groove respectively. One end of the compression spring 63 abuts against the limiting round plate 64 and the other end abuts against the movable jacket 48.

[0065] The counterclockwise rotation of the turnover roller 36 drives the counterclockwise rotation of the two circular covers 35, and drives the counterclockwise rotation of the two movable jackets 48. The movable jacket 48 drives the counterclockwise rotation of the guide wheel 65 through the telescopic column 62 and the limiting round plate 64. The guide wheel 65 moves counterclockwise along the closed guide groove formed by the circular arc guide groove 66 and the straight line guide groove 67. In the process of the two movable jackets 48 moving close to each other, the telescopic column 62 is elongated by the elastic force of the compression spring 63, so as to ensure that the guide wheel 65 is always in rolling connection with the side wall of the closed guide groove during the movement of the movable jacket 48. Since the center of the circle where the circular arc guide groove 66 is located is coincident with the center of the lifting adjusting disc 25, when the guide wheel 65 is in the circular arc guide groove 66, the relative position of the installation jacket 47 and the movable jacket 48 is fixed. At this time, the movable jacket 48 extends out of the longitudinal groove 38 by the maximum distance. When the guide wheel 65 enters the left end of the straight line guide groove 67, with the continuous counterclockwise rotation of the turnover roller 36 and the circular cover 35, the guide wheel 65 moves rightward along the straight line guide groove 67, so as to gradually retract the movable jacket 48 into the longitudinal groove 38. At this time, the movable jacket 48 gradually retracts into the longitudinal groove 38 and moves downward at the same time, so as to avoid the interference between the movable jacket 48 and the upper surface of the secondary conveying assembly. When the guide wheel 65 is in the middle of the straight line guide groove 67, the movable jacket 48 is retracted into the longitudinal groove 38 by the maximum distance, and the distance of the movable jacket 48 extending out of the longitudinal groove 38 is the minimum. Then the turnover roller 36 and the circular cover 35 continue to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the guide wheel 65 moves to the right end of the straight line guide groove 67 and is ready to enter the circular arc guide groove 66. At this time, the movable jacket 48 gradually extends out of the longitudinal groove 38 and begins to move rightward, so as to complete the next clamping operation of the medicine bottle.
