[0050] The overall design of the utility model is reasonable, which replaces manual transfer, reduces the labor intensity of loading, and improves loading efficiency. Specifically, during operation, the material storage fixture 60 in the loading placement mechanism 20 is placed with the product to be processed. At this time, the loading lifting module 70 in the loading placement mechanism 20 lifts the material storage upper plate 63 of the material storage fixture 60, the feeding mechanism 30 absorbs the product to be processed, and the loading lifting module 70 lowers the material storage upper plate 63 of the material storage fixture 60. The loading platform 42 of the material table mechanism 40 moves to the bottom of the feeding mechanism 30.
