The top of the first-level sliding plate 123 at the lowest position can be aligned with the end of the second bottom plate 106 away from the first bottom plate 103 during the sliding process relative to the second bottom plate 106. The conveyor belt 109 is connected to the top of the outermost fixed plate 122 in the lifting mechanism. According to the above structure provided in the present embodiment, since the fixed plate 122 and the sliding plate 123 are arranged at an angle, during the sliding process of the sliding plate 123 relative to the fixed plate 122, the material in the material collection chamber 107 can be quickly and stably lifted to the top of the final fixed plate 122 (i.e., the fixed plate 122 at the highest position) by reciprocatingly aligning with the top of the fixed plate 122 and released from the top of the final fixed plate 122 to the conveyor belt 109, which is beneficial to further improve the loading efficiency of the forging production line provided in the present embodiment.
