[0033] Optionally, the discharging position 210 and the feeding position 110 are arranged in a horizontal direction. Of course, the discharging position 210 and the feeding position 110 can also be arranged in a vertical direction, which is not limited here.

[0034] Exemplarily, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The structure schematic view of the feeding position 110 provided with the positioning assembly 300 is shown.

By using the material receiving piece 121 with such a structure, the storage mold set 500 can be directly transferred to the placement position of the upper loading position 110, and there is no need to transfer the storage mold set 500 at the placement position of the upper loading position 110, so that the work efficiency can be improved.
