The top of the guide mechanism 36 and the output end of the second lifting drive mechanism 34 are both connected to the bottle positioning plate 32. The bottle positioning plate 32 is located above the lifting seat 31. At least two positioning holes are opened on the bottle positioning plate 32. All the positioning holes are arranged in a straight line. The straight line is parallel to the conveying direction of the output end of the conveying device 2. The lifting seat 31 is horizontally protruded with a support arm 311 on the side away from the first lifting drive mechanism 33. The support arm 311 is provided with a bottle placement groove 312. The bottle placement groove 312 is used to place medicine bottles. One side of the bottle placement groove 312 is connected to the output end of the conveying device 2. The bottle placement groove 312 is further provided with a flipping device 4 on the side away from the first lifting drive mechanism 33. The bottle placement groove 312 is vertically opposite to the output end of the flipping device 4. During use, the conveying device 2 transports the finished medicine bottle to the bottle placement groove 312 of the lifting seat 31 of the positioning and lifting device 3, and the second lifting drive mechanism 34 drives the bottle positioning plate 32 to descend. The positioning hole on the bottle positioning plate 32 positions the medicine bottle, and the lifting seat 31 is lifted by the first lifting drive mechanism 33. The flipping device 4 clamps the medicine bottle and flips it so that the bottom of the medicine bottle faces upward, which is convenient for subsequent processing on the bottom of the bottle.

[0026] An end stopper 314 is provided at one end of the bottle trough 312. A transverse slot 313 for the end stopper 314 is provided on the side of the trough 312 away from the conveyor 2. The end stopper 314 is used to prevent medicine bottles from slipping out of the end of the trough 312 away from the conveyor 2.

To remove the end stopper 314, the movable base 371 is pressed toward the first lifting drive mechanism 33 so that the anti-slip plate 372 does not block the end stopper 314, allowing it to be removed.

[0031] The flipping device 4 includes a third lifting drive mechanism 41 and a flipping drive mechanism 42. The third lifting drive mechanism 41 is located on the side of the bottle placement slot 312 away from the base 331. The flipping drive mechanism 42 is mounted on the top output end of the third lifting drive mechanism 41. The third lifting drive mechanism 41 is used to raise and lower the flipping drive mechanism 42 to ensure that the flipping drive mechanism reaches a height that allows it to grip the medicine bottle.

[0032] The third lifting drive mechanism 41 includes an upper body 411 , a lower body 412 and a hydraulic cylinder 413 . The upper body 411 is connected to an output end of the hydraulic cylinder 413 , and a housing of the hydraulic cylinder 413 is mounted on the lower body 412 .

[0033] The flipping drive mechanism 42 is located above the upper seat body 411. The flipping drive mechanism 42 includes: a rotating connecting seat 421, a rotating motor 422, a flipping connecting shaft 423 and a clamping mechanism 424. There are two rotating connecting seats 421, and the rotating connecting seat 421 is located on the upper seat body 411. The flipping connecting shaft 423 is hinged to the rotating connecting seat 421. The rotating motor 422 is located on one side of the rotating connecting seat 421. The output end of the rotating motor 422 passes through the rotating connecting seat 421 and is connected to the flipping connecting shaft 423. The flipping connecting shaft 423 protrudes with a flip plate 425 toward the direction of the first lifting drive mechanism 33, and at least two clamping mechanisms 424 are provided on the flip plate 425. The rotating motor 422 can drive the flip connecting shaft 423 to rotate between the side connecting seats. In the initial state, the flip plate 425 is located on one side of the bottle placement groove 312. After the blocking and clamping mechanism 424 clamps the medicine bottle, the rotating motor 422 drives the flip connecting shaft 423 to rotate the flip plate 425 to the side of the upper seat body 411 away from the bottle placement groove 312, so that the bottom of the medicine bottle is facing upward.
