With the advancement of agricultural modernization, the automation and intelligentization of agricultural machinery are increasingly required, prompting the emergence of automatic lifting and lowering plow technology. This technology introduces sensors, automatic control systems and power devices (such as electric push rods, electro-hydraulic push rods, etc.), which can automatically adjust the lifting and lowering of the plow according to soil conditions, traction, engine speed or the inclination angle of the working machine, etc., so as to achieve precise operation and improve the efficiency and quality of operation. In the industrial field, especially in bulk material conveying systems, the automatic lifting and lowering plow technology of plow unloader has also been widely used, which realizes fast and accurate unloading operation through automatic control, further improving the automation level of industrial production.
