The feeding mode can be changed into a tray mode, the automatic shell pressing equipment directly grabs the upper shell from the tray, and the time of secondary feeding can be saved.

Obviously, the automatic shell pressing equipment can press other metal or nonmetal shells besides the upper shell of the air conditioner external machine packing box, so that the automatic shell pressing equipment has high universality.

While the present invention has been described with reference to several exemplary embodiments, it is understood that the terminology used is intended to be in the nature of words of description and illustration, rather than of limitation. As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
