[0119] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the multi-channel paper pot arranging machine 100 further includes a second base body 50, a sixth driving member 61, a first driving wheel 62, a plurality of first driven wheels 63, and a first transmission belt 64. The first driving wheel 62 and the plurality of first driven wheels 63 are rotatably connected to the second base body 50. The first transmission belt 64 bypasses the first driving wheel 62 and the plurality of first driven wheels 63. The plurality of material receiving devices 20 are arranged in sequence on the first transmission belt 64. The sixth driving member 61 is connected to the first driving wheel 62 and can drive the first driving wheel 62 to rotate, so that the first transmission belt 64 drives the plurality of material receiving devices 20 to rotate in a cycle. Optionally, the sixth driving member 61 is a servo motor.

[0120] In one embodiment, the number of the first driven wheels 63 is three. The first driving wheel 62 and the three first driven wheels 63 are arranged in a rectangle, so that the plurality of material receiving devices 20 rotate along a rectangular shape, which is beneficial to the docking of the material receiving cavity 21 with the conveyor belt 11, facilitating the pusher plate 14 to push the paper pot 200 into the material receiving cavity 21, and is beneficial to the docking of the loading column 31 with the material receiving cavity 21, facilitating the loading column 31 to load the paper pot 200 in the material receiving cavity 21 into the seedling tray.

[0121] As Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the material receiving device 20 includes a first structural member 22 and a second structural member 23 that are movably connected. The first structural member 22 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 221, and the plurality of first grooves 221 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The second structural member 23 is provided with a plurality of second grooves 231, and the plurality of second grooves 231 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. A first groove 221 and a second groove 231 are arranged along the third direction Z, and a first groove 221 and a second groove 231 communicate with each other to form a material receiving cavity 21. The first structural member 22 and the second structural member 23 are connected to form a plurality of material receiving cavities 21 arranged along the first direction X.

[0122] In one embodiment, the second structural member 23 can move relative to the first structural member 22 along the third direction Z, thereby changing the size of the material receiving cavity 21. When the second structural member 23 moves away from the first structural member 22 along the third direction Z, the material receiving cavity 21 becomes larger, and at this time, it is convenient for the paper bowl 200 to enter the material receiving cavity 21. When the second structural member 23 moves closer to the first structural member 22 along the third direction Z, the material receiving cavity 21 becomes smaller, and at this time, it is convenient for the material receiving device 20 to clamp the paper bowl 200 to transfer the paper bowl 200, reducing the risk of the paper bowl 200 detaching from the material receiving cavity 21.

[0123] In one embodiment, the material receiving device 20 further includes a connecting block 24 and a first moving member 25. The connecting block 24 is connected to the second structural member 23, and the connecting block 24 can move relative to the first structural member 22 synchronously with the second structural member 23. The connecting block 24 is provided with a first sliding groove 241. The first moving member 25 is movably connected to the first structural member 22 along the first direction X, and the first moving member 25 is provided with a rolling bearing 251, and at least part of the rolling bearing 251 is located in the first sliding groove 241. The first moving member 25 drives the rolling bearing 251 to move along the first direction X, and the rolling bearing 251 can make the second structural member 23 move away from the first structural member 22 along the third direction Z by abutting against the first sliding groove 241, so that the material receiving cavity 21 becomes larger. Among them, the extending direction of the first sliding groove 241 forms an angle of 45° with the first direction X, which is beneficial to converting the horizontal driving force of the first moving member 25 into the vertical driving force of the second structural member 23.

[0124] Through the rolling contact between the connecting block 24 and the first moving member 25, the second structural member 23 is urged to move relative to the first structural member 22, which is beneficial to simplifying the connection structure and improving the stability and reliability of the movement of the second structural member 23 relative to the first structural member 22.

[0125] In one embodiment, a set of material receiving devices 20 includes two connecting blocks 24 and two first moving members 25. One connecting block 24 and one first moving member 25 are provided at one end of the second structural member 23 along the first direction X, and the other connecting block 24 and first moving member 25 are provided at the other end of the second structural member 23 along the first direction X. The material receiving device 20 enables the second structural member 23 to move relative to the first structural member 22 through the rolling contact of the two sets of connecting blocks 24 and first moving members 25, which is beneficial to improving the movement stability and accuracy of the second structural member 23.

[0126] In one embodiment, the material receiving device 20 further includes a tension spring 261. The tension spring 261 is connected between the first structural member 22 and the second structural member 23. The tension spring 261 can drive the second structural member 23 to move closer to the first structural member 22 along the third direction Z, making the material receiving cavity 21 smaller. When the driving force along the first direction X is lost on the first moving member 25, the second structural member 23 can move closer to the first structural member 22 along the third direction Z under the pulling force of the tension spring 261, realizing automatic reset, thereby clamping the paper bowl 200 in the material receiving cavity 21.

[0127] In one embodiment, the number of tension springs 261 in the material receiving device 20 is two. The two tension springs 261 are respectively located at both ends of the second structural member 23 along the first direction X, which is beneficial to improving the balance of the pulling force of the tension springs 261 on the second structural member 23 and enhancing the movement stability and accuracy of the second structural member 23.

[0128] In one embodiment, the material receiving device 20 further includes a magnetic member 262. The magnetic member 262 is arranged on the first structural member 22 and is disposed opposite to the second structural member 23. The magnetic member 262 can generate a magnetic attraction force on the second structural member 23, causing the second structural member 23 to move closer to the first structural member 22 along the third direction Z, thereby making the material receiving cavity 21 smaller to clamp the paper bowl 200 in the material receiving cavity 21. Optionally, the magnetic member 262 is a magnet.

[0129] In one embodiment, the number of magnetic members 262 in the material receiving device 20 is two. The two magnetic members 262 are respectively located at both ends of the second structural member 23 along the first direction X, which is beneficial to improving the balance of the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic members 262 on the second structural member 23 and enhancing the movement stability and accuracy of the second structural member 23.

[0130] In one embodiment, the material receiving device 20 further includes a second guide post 271 and a second guide sleeve 272 that are sleeved with each other. One of the second guide post 271 and the second guide sleeve 272 is connected to the first structural member 22, and the other of the second guide post 271 and the second guide sleeve 272 is connected to the second structural member 23 to improve the accuracy and stability of the movement of the second structural member 23 relative to the first structural member 22.

[0131] In one embodiment, the number of the second guide posts 271 and the second guide sleeves 272 in the material receiving device 20 is two. One second guide post 271 and one second guide sleeve 272 are connected to each other and located at one end of the second structural member 23 along the first direction X, and the other second guide post 271 and the other second guide sleeve 272 are connected to each other and located at the other end of the second structural member 23 along the first direction X. By providing two sets of the second guide posts 271 and the second guide sleeves 272, it is beneficial to improve the movement stability and accuracy of the second structural member 23 relative to the first structural member 22.

[0132] As Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, the multi-channel paper pot arranging machine 100 further includes a first driving member 70.
