The driven bevel gear 62 is meshed with the driving bevel gear 61, and the driving bevel gear 61 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 2. The motor 2 is installed in the middle of the support sleeve 12, and a cylindrical protrusion 121 for installing the guide head 11 is provided on the upper part of the support sleeve 12; a support seat is sleeved inside the bottom of the support sleeve 12 13, a pulley groove 131 for installing the pulley 8 is opened in the support seat 13, and a pulley guide line 82 is provided on the pulley 8.

Harvesting basket assemblies are movably installed in two opposite slide grooves 41, and the two harvesting basket assemblies are respectively connected to the two ends of the pulley guide line 82. A handle 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 4, and an X-shaped groove 72 for installing the support rod 4 is opened on the top of the handle 7. The handle 7 is a hollow structure and a cover body 71 is opened on the side. A control circuit board is installed in the hollow structure, a button 73 is provided on the side of the handle 7, and a battery slot 74 for installing a battery is opened at the bottom of the handle 7.
