The fixing component is configured to fix the carrying mechanism, and the flipping component is configured to flip the fixing component. The conveyor frame also has a temporary storage position. The conveying mechanism includes a first conveying component and a second conveying component, both of which are connected to the conveyor frame. The first conveying component is configured to drive the carrying mechanism from the loading position to the temporary storage position along a first direction, and the second conveying component is configured to drive the carrying mechanism from the temporary storage position to the flipping position along a second direction, where the second direction intersects the first direction. The conveying mechanism further includes a positioning component, which includes a stop and a stop drive. The stop and the stop drive are located at the temporary storage position. The stop drive connects the stop to the conveying frame and is configured to drive the stop to move onto the conveying path of the first conveying component that conveys the carrying mechanism. The stop is configured to stop the carrying mechanism in the first direction. Two stops and two stop drives are provided at intervals along the first direction, with one stop corresponding to one stop drive. Each stop drive is configured to drive the corresponding stop to move. The two stops are configured to abut against the two ends of the carrying mechanism along the first direction. The stop is rotatably provided with a guide wheel, which is configured to abut against the bottom edge of the carrying mechanism near the stop to guide the carrying mechanism to move between the two stops.

2. The feeding device as described in claim 1, wherein, The conveying mechanism further includes a lifting component, which is located at the temporary storage position and connected to the conveying frame. The lifting component is configured to lift the carrying mechanism. The second conveying component includes a conveying clamp and a transfer drive. The transfer drive connects the conveying clamp to the conveying frame. The conveying clamp is configured to clamp the carrying mechanism lifted by the lifting component. The transfer drive is configured to drive the conveying clamp to move along the second direction.

3. The feeding device as described in claim 2, wherein, The conveying mechanism further includes a guide assembly comprising two constraint members, which are spaced apart along a third direction and connected to the conveyor frame. The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and the two constraint members are configured to constrain the position of the carrying mechanism in the third direction.

4. The feeding device as described in claim 2, wherein, The lifting assembly includes a lifting member and a lifting drive member. The lifting drive member connects the lifting member and the conveyor frame. The lifting member is configured to receive the bearing mechanism. The lifting member has an upwardly extending positioning post. The bearing mechanism has a positioning hole for the positioning post to be inserted.

5. The feeding device as described in claim 1, wherein, The fixing mechanism further includes an adjustment component that connects the flipping component and the conveyor frame, and the adjustment component is configured to adjust the position of the flipping component.

6. The feeding device as described in claim 1, wherein, The fixing component includes a clamping drive and two flip clamping members. The clamping drive is connected to the flipping component and the two flip clamping members. The clamping drive is configured to drive the two flip clamping members to move closer to each other to clamp the carrying mechanism. The sidewalls of the two flip clamping members facing each other are respectively provided with receiving grooves. The receiving groove of each flip clamping member is configured to receive a corresponding side of the carrying mechanism.

7. A work unit comprising a base and a work device connected to the base, wherein the work unit further comprises a feeding device as described in any one of claims 1 to 6, the feeding device being connected to the base, and the work device being configured to perform work operations on a product on a carrier mechanism fixed to a fixing component of the feeding device.

8. The work unit as described in claim 7, wherein, The operating device and the feeding device are provided in multiples, with one operating device corresponding to one feeding device. Each operating device is configured to perform an operation on the product fixed on the carrying mechanism by the fixing component of the corresponding feeding device.
