Therefore, a feature specified as "first," "second," etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0029] Under existing technical conditions, some large-scale automated production equipment will make full use of vertical space for process flow to achieve the purpose of reducing the space occupied by the equipment. However, the existing automated production line loading devices usually transport materials in a horizontal direction, and lack a device that can quickly and stably load materials vertically.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the utility model discloses a feeding device for an automated production line. Through the discharge channel 2 and the feeding channel 1, with the help of the cooperation between the electric linear slide module, the guide column 33 and the material transfer plate 32, the material can be quickly raised from the bottom of the feeding channel 1 to the top with the help of the material transfer plate 32, thereby realizing the vertical feeding and transmission of the material, facilitating the processing of the next process of the automated equipment, and having the characteristics of smooth transportation, fast feeding speed and good stability.

[0041] In this embodiment, the discharge channel 2 is arranged between the two electric linear slide modules, so that the material can slide smoothly onto the material transfer plate 32 without being blocked by the electric linear slide modules or the guide pillars 33.
