When the hopper device 40 is in the first position, the hopper device 40 is away from the baskets 30. In the revolving path, when the plucking device 40 is in the second position, the plucking device 40 is located within the revolving path of the baskets 30, and the basket 30 above the staking device 40 is driven by the rotation When the mechanism 20 moves down to the basket taking device 40, it is supported by the basket removing device 40. When the rotary driving mechanism 20 continues to rotate, the basket 30 is disengaged from the supporting portion 21, and the basket taking device 40 can The basket 30 is carried to the second position.

Preferably, the staking device has a weighing mechanism. When the staking device moves from the first position to the second position, the weighing mechanism can know whether the load of the staking device has been reset to zero. By determining whether the basket is completely supported by the support portion, the basket taking device can be returned to the first position; in addition, the basket taking device can be electrically driven as shown in the embodiment, or can be manually driven. , for example, a crane.

In this embodiment, the top and bottom of the winding path of the plurality of baskets 30 are respectively a half circle, and the two semicircles are connected by two parallel vertical straight lines, and the second position of the basket taking device 40 corresponds to the basket 30. Before the bottom semicircle of the winding path, since the bottom semicircle of the winding path of the basket 30 is an arc, the baskets 30 are separated from each other, which facilitates the basketing device 40 to extend below the basket 30; , The bottom of each of the baskets 30 is provided with at least one guiding groove 31 with a downward opening, the guiding groove 31 has a trapezoidal shape with a narrow width and a narrow width, and the basketing device 40 has at least one guiding convex portion closer to one end of the body 10. 41. The at least one guiding protrusion 41 corresponds to at least one guiding slot 31. When the taking device 40 moves from the second position toward the first position, the at least one guiding protrusion 41 passes through the at least one guiding protrusion 41. Preferably, the line connecting the first position and the second position is defined as a moving direction, and each of the bottoms of the basket 30 has at least one guiding groove 31 along the moving direction. The two guiding grooves 40 are respectively located at two ends of the staking device 40 in the moving direction, and the two guiding grooves 31 are located at the two guiding protrusions 41 when the staking device 40 is located at the first position. When the basket 30 is lowered and placed on the hopper unit 40, the basket 30 is blocked by the two guiding protrusions 41 and cannot move relative to the staking device 40 in the moving direction.
