Then, the feeding assembly is placed on the fixing assembly and clamped and fixed.

[0053] The first sliding component of the material handling mechanism 4 drives the suction device 42 to move above the tray 35. The first driving device 421 of the suction device 42 drives the suction plate 422 to move closer to the foot pad assembly 1. The first adsorption component 423 adsorbs the foot pad assembly 1. Then, the first driving device 421 drives the suction plate 422 to rise away from the tray 35 and remove the adsorbed foot pad assembly 1 from the guide post 34. Then, the first sliding component drives the suction device 42 and the foot pad assembly 1 to slide above the positioning plate 441 of the top material device 44. The first driving device 421 drives the suction plate 422 to pick up the foot pad assembly 1. The pad assembly 1 is placed on the positioning plate 441. At this time, the positioning post 4410 on the positioning plate 441 passes through the positioning hole 110 on the release film 11 to position the pad assembly 1. Then, the first sliding component drives the pressing device 43 to move above the pad assembly 1 on the positioning plate 441. The second driving device 431 drives the pressure plate 432 to press down towards the pad assembly 1. The pressure plate 432 presses and positions the edge of the release film 11. The positioning post 4410 is accommodated in the clearance hole of the pressure plate 432. The pad mounting post 100 is accommodated in the lifting hole 4411.

[0055] Then, the material-picking drive device 50 drives the material-picking head 51 to move above the top material device 44. The sixth drive device 57 drives the first gripper 570 and the second gripper 571 to move closer together to pick up the foot pad 10, and the third adsorption component 56 adsorbs the foot pad 10. The material-picking head 51 moves away from the release film 11 to separate the foot pad 10 from the release film 11. Then, it moves to the detection mechanism 6 to take pictures and detect the product. After the detection is completed, the material-picking drive device 50 drives the material-picking head 51 to move the foot pad 10 to the foot pad installation position. The conveying device 70 will position the foot pad 10. The product positioning fixture 71, on which the product 8 with the foot pad 10 to be installed is placed, is transported to the foot pad installation station. The sixth drive device 57 drives the first gripper 570 and the second gripper 571 to move away from each other. The third adsorption component 56 releases the foot pad 10 and places it above the groove of the product 8. Then, the fifth drive device 54 drives the shaping plate 55 to move downward and press the foot pad 10, so that the foot pad 10 is installed in the groove of the product 8. Finally, the two-axis drive mechanism 720 of the conveying device 72 drives the conveying component 721 to adsorb and transport the product 8 with the foot pad 10 installed to the next station.

[0056] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that it can automatically feed the foot pad assembly 1, automatically peel off the foot pad 10, and automatically install the foot pad 10 into the groove of the product 8, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of foot pad 10 installation, saving manpower, and enabling connection with other automated process equipment to accelerate the automated processing of products.
