The magazine 100 includes a loading bin door 12 for opening and closing the loading area 11a and a unloading bin door 13 for opening and closing the unloading area 11c, and an operator can put the tray 500 containing the product into the loading area 11a through the loading bin door 12 and take out the empty tray 500 from the unloading area 11c through the unloading bin door 13.
Further, the tray 500 is upwardly facing, and a plurality of receiving cavities (not shown) are formed in the front surface thereof to be inwardly recessed for positioning and storing products. The tray 500 is provided with a first avoiding groove 51 inwardly recessed from the side thereof for the first lifting mechanism 200 to lift the tray 500, and the first lifting mechanism 200 can extend into the first avoiding groove 51 to lift the tray 500. In the embodiment, the first avoiding groove 51 is opened toward one side of the back surface of the tray 500 adjacent to the first avoiding groove 51, so that the back surface of the tray 500 corresponding to the first avoiding groove 51 is suspended after the trays 500 are stacked, and the first lifting mechanism 200 can lift the back surface of the tray 500.

The first driving member 22 can be driven electrically or pneumatically, and in the present embodiment, the first driving member 22 is embodied as a cylinder. The stock bin 100 is provided with a first avoidance hole 14 avoiding the first lifting block 21, and the first avoidance hole 14 can extend to the bottom of the stock bin 100 along the vertical direction. The first lift block 21 is rotatably connected to the piston rod of the first driving member 22 and is disposed in the magazine 100. The first lift block 21 has a first position to avoid the tray 500 and a second position to support the tray 500, and when the first lift block 21 contacts the tray 500, the first lift block 21 is at the first position, and when the first lift block 21 is located at the first avoiding groove 51, the first lift block 21 is at the second position.
