[0031] The driving structure 304 which can be automatically controlled drives the conveying belt 302 to realize automatic workpiece transfer, improve the feeding efficiency and accuracy, reduce the demand for manual operation, and reduce the labor intensity. The driving structure 304 and the driven structure 305 are arranged at the front and rear sides of the device support 100 respectively, can remotely connect the conveying belt 302, the conveying belt 302 is a toothed conveying belt, the transmission effect is more stable and better, and the material platform 200 is conveniently moved reciprocatingly in the device support 100.

[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The four corners of the tray body 202 are provided with fixing pins 205, the bottom plate 201 is provided with hollow protrusions 206 at the four corners of the tray body 202, and the fixing pins 205 of each tray body 202 are inserted into the hollow protrusions 206.

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the limiting piece 204 is placed in the storage groove 203, and the top outer periphery of the limiting piece 204 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 208 abutting the top surface of the tray body 202; the inner side of the second limiting protrusion 208 is provided with a material groove 209 matched with the workpiece 5.

[0035] In some embodiments, the material of the tray body 202 is bakelite, and the material of the limiting piece 204 is aluminum alloy. Bakelite is light in weight, insulating, and relatively inexpensive compared to aluminum alloy, effectively reducing the weight and production cost of the device. The limiting piece 204 is made of aluminum alloy, which has a higher hardness than bakelite, reducing friction and wear between the workpiece and the device, and improving the service life of the device.
[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , 3 , 4, the fixing piece 303 is C-shaped and fixed outside the conveying belt 302. The conveying belt 302 is placed vertically, so the fixing piece is C-shaped to be fixed on one side of the conveying belt 302. The vertically placed conveying belt 302 makes the device occupy less volume, more effectively utilizes space, and is easier to clean and maintain, and the surface is less likely to accumulate debris. The fixing piece 303 is fixed to the outside of the conveying belt 302 by bolts or other fasteners, and moves the material platform 200 along with the reciprocating movement of the conveying belt 302.
[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-4 , the guide rail 306 includes circular guide rails 307 arranged on the left and right sides below the bottom plate 201 and sliding blocks 308 arranged at the bottom of the bottom plate 201 and slidingly connected with the circular guide rails 307. The circular guide rails 307 provide stable rolling contact, ensuring accurate guidance of the bottom plate 201 during reciprocating movement, and the sliding connection of the sliding blocks 308 with the circular guide rails 307 reduces friction, making the movement of the bottom plate 201 smoother.
[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1-2 , one side of the device support 100 is provided with a jacking mechanism 400 for moving the device support 100 in the second direction. The jacking mechanism 400 allows the device support 100 to be automatically controlled to adjust the height, adapting to the feeding requirements of workpieces of different heights.
[0039] In some embodiments, a material taking mechanism (not shown in the figure) is arranged above the tray body 202 for taking the workpiece. The material taking mechanism realizes automatic taking of the workpiece, and the automatic material taking mechanism can take the workpiece quickly and accurately, improving the feeding speed, reducing the waiting time in production, reducing manual operation, and improving the accuracy and reliability of feeding.
