[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, a receiving groove adapted to the top of the pressing plate is provided at the bottom of the connecting block, and when the pressing plate moves to contact the connecting block, the pressing block moves to the limit position. In the present application, the receiving groove is provided at the bottom of the connecting block to ensure the structural strength of the present application while allowing the pressing plate to have a longer travel range, so as to accommodate a larger number of sugar trays.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the lifting cylinder is arranged below the slide rail. The above structure is the preferred structural scheme of the present application, and the installation position of the lifting cylinder is reasonably arranged.

[0018] In the present application, the first cylinder plays a role similar to a spring. When the sugar tray moves from bottom to top through the telescopic support plate, the inclined guide surface will push the telescopic support plate to retract, and then the sugar tray will pass through the telescopic support plate smoothly. After the sugar tray passes, the telescopic support plate will extend again under the action of the first cylinder to prevent the sugar tray that has passed through from falling.
