The swing assembly drives the swing plate to swing, causing it to be tilted relative to the rotating base. The clamping assembly swings with the swing plate, thereby adjusting the clamping assembly's tilt angle and facilitating its grasp of the medicine bottle. The second drive member drives the rotating base to rotate, allowing the clamping assembly to move the medicine bottle to the placement area.

The first driving member 11 is externally connected to a controller (not shown in the drawings). The signal output end of the controller is connected to the signal input end of the first driving member 11. The side of the carrier plate 2 close to the first driving member 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first driving member 11. The side of the carrier plate 2 away from the first driving member 11 is rotatably connected to a rotating base 3. The carrier plate 2 is fixedly connected to a second driving member 21 for driving the rotating base 3 to rotate. The second driving member 21 is a motor. The signal output end of the controller is connected to the signal input end of the second driving member 21. The side of the rotating base 3 close to the second driving member 21 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second driving member 21.

[0039] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating base 3 is rotatably connected to two swing plates 4 (the number of swing plates 4 is selected based on actual needs). The rotating base 3 is connected to a swing assembly 5 for driving the corresponding swing plates 4 to swing. There are two swing assemblies 5, one for each swing plate 4. The rotating base 3 is fixedly connected to two rotating posts 31, one for each swing plate 4. The swing plates 4 are rotatably connected to the corresponding rotating posts 31. The swing assembly 5 includes an active block 51 slidably connected to the rotating base 3 and a fourth drive member 52 for vertically slidingly driving the active block 51. The active block 51 is L-shaped and is a pneumatic cylinder. The signal output of the controller is connected to the signal input of the fourth drive member 52. The fourth drive member 52 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 3. The side of the active block 51 closest to the fourth drive member 52 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fourth drive member 52. The active block 51 is detachably connected to a connecting block 53, which is connected to the active block 51 via a fixing member (not shown) in the form of a bolt. A boss 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the swing plate 4 close to the connecting block 53, and the outer peripheral surface of the boss 41 is rotatably connected to the abutment ring 42. The outer peripheral surface of the boss 41 is recessed with a rotating groove 411 for rotating cooperation with the abutment ring 42, and the connecting block 53 is provided with a sliding groove 531 for sliding cooperation with the abutment ring 42.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the swing plate 4 is connected to a clamping assembly 6. The clamping assembly 6 includes two connecting plates 61 that are relatively slidably connected to the swing plate 4, and a third driving member 62 for driving the two connecting plates 61 to slide toward or away from each other. The third driving member 62 is fixedly connected to the swing plate 4 and is a slide cylinder. The signal output end of the controller is connected to the signal input end of the third driving member 62, and both connecting plates 61 are connected to the slide cylinder. Each connecting plate 61 is detachably connected to a clamping plate 63. The clamping plate 63 and the connecting plate 61 are connected by a locking member (not shown in the figure), which is a bolt. The two clamping plates 63 are connected to the opposite side of each other. The supporting plates 64 are used to support the flange of the medicine bottle.

[0042] The first drive member 11 drives the carrier plate 2 to slide vertically, and the rotating seat 3 moves with the movement of the carrier plate 2, so that the two supporting plates 64 are positioned accordingly. The fourth drive member 52 drives the active block 51 to slide vertically, that is, the connecting block 53 moves with the active block 51, and the inner wall of the slide groove 531 movably abuts against the abutment ring 42. The inner wall of the slide groove 531 drives the swing plate 4 to swing about the axis of the rotating column 31, that is, the two supporting plates 64 swing about the axis of the rotating column 31, so that the two supporting plates 64 are arranged at an angle. The third drive member 62 drives the two supporting plates 64 to slide toward each other, so that the supporting plates 64 both clamp the medicine bottle and support the flange of the medicine bottle. The first driving member 11 drives the carrier plate 2 to slide in the vertical direction, the second driving member 21 drives the rotating seat 3 to rotate, so that the medicine bottle moves to the placement area, the fourth driving member 52 drives the active block 51 to slide in the opposite direction, so that the swing plate 4 is straightened, that is, the medicine bottle is straightened, and the third driving member 62 drives the two supporting plates 64 to slide in the direction away from each other, and the supporting plates 64 release the medicine bottle.
