[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0025] As Figures 1 to 6 is a specific embodiment of the present application, which comprises a rack 1, a keel frame 2 fixed at the bottom of the rack 1, a guide inlet 11 arranged at one end of the keel frame 2, an upper part of the keel frame 2 provided with a movable pressing plate 12, a movable compression platform 13 arranged at the bottom of the rack 1, the compression platform 13 being suspended above the keel frame 2 and moving into or out of the bottom of the rack 1 along the guide inlet 11, and the compression platform 13 being in contact with the keel frame 2 to bear the downward pressure of the pressing plate 12 on the compression platform 13.
[0026] In the present application, the principle of automatic feeding of the sponge is as follows:
[0027] Firstly, the compression platform 13 is moved out of the bottom of the rack 1 along the guide inlet 11 in a suspended state, and the sponge to be compressed is placed on the compression platform 13.
[0028] The compression platform 13 is moved into the bottom of the rack 1 along the guide inlet 11, and in this process, the compression platform 13 is continuously in a suspended state on the keel frame 2;
[0029] The pressing plate 12 contacts the compression platform 13 and the keel frame 2 before compressing the sponge on the compression platform 13, and the keel frame 2 supports the compression platform 13.
[0030] The sponge is automatically fed by the compression platform 13, and the sponge is fed at the feeding position of the compression platform 13, that is, the compression position of the sponge on the compression platform 13, which reduces the step of adjusting the compression position of the sponge after feeding, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the sponge. Secondly, when the sponge is fed, the sponge moves in a suspended state on the keel frame 2, which avoids friction between the sponge compression platform 13 and the keel frame 2 during movement, not only ensures the smoothness of the movement of the compression platform 13, but also protects the compression platform 13. At the same time, when the sponge is compressed, the keel frame 2 and the compression platform 13 are in contact, which meets the required bearing force of the bottom of the compression platform 13.
[0031] In the present application, as a preferred solution, the above-mentioned keel frame 2 comprises a plurality of lower cross beams 21 and a plurality of lower vertical beams 22, the plurality of lower cross beams 21 are parallel to each other and are fixed horizontally on the bottom of the rack 1, and the plurality of lower vertical beams 22 are parallel to each other and are fixed vertically on the lower cross beams 21, and the lower vertical beams 22 are located above the lower cross beams 21.

[0033] In the present application, as a preferred solution, the bottom of the compression platform 13 is provided with a plurality of parallel upper vertical beams 3, and a plurality of parallel upper cross beams 31 are connected between any two adjacent upper vertical beams 3, and the upper cross beams 31 and the upper vertical beams 3 are located in the same plane.
[0034] In the present application, based on the two states of the compression platform 13 and the keel frame 2, the upper vertical beams 3 and the upper cross beams 31 at the bottom of the compression platform 13 are arranged in the same horizontal plane, wherein:
[0035] The upper cross beams 31 are used to satisfy the mutual contact of the compression platform 13 and the keel frame 2, that is, the lower vertical beams 22 are in contact with the upper cross beams 31, and the mutual contact of the lower vertical beams 22 and the upper cross beams 31 ensures the stability of the support of the compression platform 13.
[0036] The upper vertical beam 3 is used to meet the needs of the compression platform 13 being suspended on the keel frame 2, that is, when the compression platform 13 moves at the bottom of the frame 1, any one of the upper vertical beams 3 is always located between any two lower vertical beams 22, the plurality of lower cross beams 21 and the plurality of lower vertical beams 22 are crossed to form a plurality of mounting grooves 32, the inside of the mounting groove 32 is provided with a support 4, and the plurality of supports 4 act on the upper vertical beam 3 synchronously, so that the compression platform 13 is suspended on the keel frame 2.
