[0055] like Figures 9 to 12As shown, the upper conveying assembly 100 comprises a pair of first side plates 1 and second side plates 2 disposed opposite to each other, and a profile connecting plate 4, a first pull rod 8, a second pull rod 9, a belt supporting plate 14, a servo electric roller 15 and a non-powered roller 16 are respectively fixedly connected between the inner sides of the first side plates 1 and the second side plates 2;

[0056] The trolley belt 13 is wound in a closed loop and runs between the servo electric roller 15 and the unpowered roller 16, vertically above the belt support plate 14. A driver 5 for transmitting signals and controlling the servo electric roller 15 is installed at the bottom of the profile connecting plate 4. The two ends of the unpowered roller 16 are movably connected to the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 through a group of roller adjustment mechanisms 3, respectively, so that the spacing between the servo electric rollers 15 can be adjusted.

[0057] Two groups of first accordion cover connecting plates 11 , second accordion cover connecting plates 12 , and accordion cover supporting plates 7 for mounting the accordion cover 10 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 .
