1. A feeding device for loading a material into a container having an opening, the feeding device comprising a pressor, the pressor comprising:
a pressing structure having a pressing plane;
a driver to drive the pressing structure to move cyclically along a closed track, wherein the closed track comprises a first planar track segment, and when the pressing structure moves along the first planar track segment, the pressing plane forms surface contact with the material and keeps extending in a material loading direction, the material loading direction being a movement direction of the material relative to the container;
a rotating shaft, wherein the driver is configured to drive the rotating shaft to rotate; and
a conversion structure, wherein the conversion structure is configured to convert a rotational movement of the rotating shaft into a cyclical movement of the pressing structure along the closed track,
wherein the conversion structure comprises a cam, the cam is mounted to the rotating shaft, and a projection of the cam on a plane perpendicular to the rotating shaft is a Reuleaux triangle.
