[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The collecting frame 11 is provided with a front hinge point 111, a rear hinge point 112, and a collecting frame body 113. The front hinge point is located in front of the collecting frame 11, and the rear hinge point 112 is located at the upper rear of the collecting frame 11. The position of the rear hinge point 112 is higher than the front hinge point 111. The two ends of the connecting rod 17 are respectively hingedly connected to the front hinge point 111 and the front suspension mechanism 4, and the rear hinge point 112 is hingedly connected to the rear suspension mechanism 5.

[0027] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: during harvesting operation, the collecting assembly 1 is fixed to the frame 2 by the front suspension mechanism 3 and the rear suspension mechanism 4, the distance between the collecting assembly 1 and the ground is changed by adjusting the front suspension mechanism 3 and the rear suspension mechanism 4, and the pitch of the harvesting device is adjusted by adjusting the length of the connecting rod 17 to adapt to different harvesting environments.

[0028] See also Figure 3-Figure 8 The driving device 12 includes: a motor 121, a driving sprocket 122, a first chain 123, a baffle 124, and a driven sprocket 125; the motor 121 is fixedly mounted on the collection frame 11 between the front sprocket 137 and the rear sprocket 132; the output end of the motor 121 is equipped with a driving sprocket 122; the driving sprocket 122 transmits power to the driven sprocket 125 through the first chain 123; the baffles 124 are evenly fixed on each chain ear of the first chain 123; the driven sprocket 125 is coaxially and rotatably mounted on the rear side of the collection frame 11.
