The storage support structures 5 on both sides have at least four storage support positioning folding plates 506, which can limit the material tray 10 at four corners of the material tray 10.

Referring to fig. 11, as another embodiment of the feeding apparatus provided in the present application, the tray receiving device 900 further includes a receiving height sensor 507 disposed on at least one receiving support structure 5 to detect a stacking height of the material trays 10, and after reaching a preset height, the tray receiving device reminds an operator to transfer the material trays 10.

Referring to fig. 11, as another specific embodiment of the feeding apparatus provided in the present application, the storage supporting structure 5 further includes a storage supporting protection cover 508 disposed on the storage supporting mounting plate 501, and the storage supporting rotation block 502 is partially located in the storage supporting protection cover 508, so that potential safety hazards are not likely to exist when the storage supporting rotation block 502 rotates.

Referring to fig. 12, as another embodiment of the feeding apparatus provided in the present application, the storage lifting driving mechanism 402 includes a storage lifting fixing seat 4021, a storage lifting cylinder 4022 installed in the storage lifting fixing seat 4021, a storage lifting guide 4023 connected to the storage lifting plate 401, and a storage lifting sleeve 4024 installed in the storage lifting fixing seat 4021; the take-in lifting plate 401 is connected with a piston rod of a take-in lifting cylinder 4022; the take-in lifting sleeve 4024 is slidably sleeved on the take-in lifting guide 4023. When the receiving lifting plate 401 is lifted, the receiving lifting plate 401 is lifted and lowered by the cooperation of the receiving lifting guide 4023 and the receiving lifting sleeve 4024, so that the receiving lifting plate 401 is only lifted and lowered in the vertical direction and is not easy to shift.

Referring to fig. 12, as another embodiment of the feeding apparatus provided in the present application, a plurality of receiving elevation positioning pillars 4011 are disposed on the receiving elevation plate 401.

It is to be understood that the aspects of another specific embodiment may be practiced with further modifications and equivalents in other embodiments.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned examples are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. This need not be, nor should it be exhaustive of all embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement, and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
