The front end of the bracket 4 is provided with a buffer 10. The pole post guiding mechanism 7 includes two gripper fingers 11, and each of the two gripper fingers 11 has a guiding groove 12 on its opposite side. The support block 5 is provided with a clamping mechanism 13 for driving the two gripper fingers 11 to clamp together. The lead plate 14 to be installed is placed into the fixture 2. The turntable 1 rotates under the drive of the servo motor, and the fixture 2 with the lead plate 14 is rotated to the pole post guiding mechanism 7. The pole post guiding mechanism 7 is driven to move closer to the lead plate 14. The gripper fingers 11 extend to both sides of the pole post 15. The clamping mechanism 13 drives the two gripper fingers 11 to clamp, thereby positioning and guiding the pole post 15 through the guiding groove 12 on the gripper fingers 11 to ensure the center distance between the pole posts. The cover plate loading mechanism 8 is used for loading the cover plate. The material picking and pressing mechanism 9 takes the cover plate out from the cover plate loading mechanism 8 and presses it onto the lead plate.

[0017] The top of the support block 5 is slidably connected to two first sliders 16 via a slide rail. The gripper fingers 11 are fixed to the top of the first sliders 16. The clamping mechanism 13 includes a slide plate 17 slidably connected to the back of the support block 5 via a vertical slide rail. The slide plate 17 has two symmetrically arranged first S-shaped slots 18, which are vertically arranged and their bottom ends are close to each other. The back of the first sliders 16 is connected to a first guide wheel 19 that is rolled within the first S-shaped slot 18. The slide plate 17 is connected to a drive assembly 20 for driving its lifting and lowering. In the initial state, the first guide wheel 19 is located at the top of the first S-shaped slot 18. After the gripper fingers 11 extend to both sides of the pole post, the drive assembly 20 drives the slide plate 17 to rise. The first guide wheel 19 rolls to the bottom of the first S-shaped slot 18, thereby driving the two first sliders 16 to move the gripper fingers 11 closer to the center, thus clamping the pole post.

[0018] The drive assembly 20 includes a second slider 21 that slides in the same direction as the support block 5. The support block 5 and the second slider 21 are respectively provided with a guide rod 22 and a guide hole (not shown in the figure) on their opposite sides. A spring 23 is connected between the support block 5 and the second slider 21. The support block 5 and the second slider 21 are both provided with positioning holes for the spring 23.

One side of the clearance groove 26 is connected to a second guide wheel 28 that is rolled in the second S-shaped slot 27 through a connecting block. The push rod of the translation cylinder 6 is connected to the second slider 21. In the initial state, the second guide wheel 28 is located at the bottom end of the second S-shaped slot 27. The top rod of the translation cylinder 6 extends and pushes the support block 5 and the second slider 21 closer to the turntable 1. After the support block 5 is blocked by the buffer 10, the translation cylinder 6 continues to push the second slider 21. The spring 23 is compressed, and the second guide wheel 28 rolls to the high point of the rear end of the second S-shaped slot, thereby driving the slide plate 17 to rise.

[0019] The support 4 has side plates 29 on both sides at its top, and a support plate 30 is fixed to the top of the two side plates 29. The cover plate loading mechanism 8 is fixed to the support plate 30. The cover plate loading mechanism 8 includes a material sliding groove 31 located on the upper end face of the support plate 30 and extending through its front and rear end faces. A baffle 32 is provided in front of the support plate 30. A base 33 spans above the material sliding groove 31. A material discharge through hole 34 is provided on the base 33. Above the material discharge through hole 34 is a structure consisting of two U-shaped plates. The material collection frame 35 consists of a horizontal plate 36 fixed between the two side plates 29 below the support plate 30. The upper end of the horizontal plate 36 is slidably connected to a second sliding plate 37 via a slide rail. A push block 38 is fixed to the upper end of the second sliding plate 37.

Multiple cover plates are stacked in the material collection frame 35, and the bottom cover plate falls into the material sliding groove 31. The push rod of the second cylinder 40 extends, thereby driving the push block 38 to push the bottom cover plate out of the material collection frame 35, thus realizing the separation of cover plates. The separated cover plate is blocked by the baffle 32 and waits for the material picking and pressing mechanism 9 to take it away. The push rod of the second cylinder 40 resets, the push block 38 exits below the material collection frame 35, and the new cover plate falls into the material sliding groove 31.

[0020] An extension plate 41 is provided at the top of the front end of each of the two side plates 29. A horizontally arranged U-shaped frame 42 is provided on each of the two extension plates 41. A third sliding plate 43 is slidably connected to the two vertical portions of the U-shaped frame 42 via slide rails. A third cylinder 44 for driving the third sliding plate 43 to slide is connected to the horizontal portion of the U-shaped frame 42. The material handling and pressing mechanism 9 is located on the third sliding plate 43. A second vertical plate 45 is fixed to the rear end face of the three sliding plates 17. The second vertical plate 45... A third vertical plate 46 is slidably connected via a vertical slide rail. A fourth cylinder 47 for driving the third vertical plate 46 to rise and fall is connected to the top of the second vertical plate 45. A mounting plate 48 facing the side where the material collection frame 35 is located is fixed to the bottom of the third vertical plate 46. Vacuum nozzles 49 are provided on both sides of the lower end face of the mounting plate 48. Two pressing square tubes 50 are provided between the two vacuum nozzles 49. A pressure plate 51 is fixed to the bottom of the pressing square tube 50. An pole column clearance hole is provided on the pressure plate 51. The push rod of the third cylinder 44 extends, driving the mounting plate 48 to move above the separated cover plate. The fourth cylinder 47 drives the fourth vertical plate 25 to move the mounting plate 48 downwards towards the cover plate, and the cover plate is sucked in by the vacuum nozzle 49. The fourth cylinder 47 resets, thereby removing the cover plate. The third cylinder 44 resets, driving the mounting plate 48 to move above the carrier. The push rod of the fourth cylinder 47 extends, and the cover plate is pressed onto the medicinal slices located in the fixture 2 through the pressing square tube 50 and the pressing plate 51. After pressing is completed, the vacuum nozzle 49 releases the cover plate, and the fourth cylinder 47 resets.
