The two track plates 5 are both fixedly connected to one side inner wall of the chip collection box main body 1, and the slider 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hopper 4, and the slider 6 is slidably connected within the two track plates 5.

[0037] In this embodiment: In order to ensure that the hopper 4 slides smoothly and reliably in the chip box body 1, a sophisticated sliding mechanism is designed. Each set of sliding components consists of three key components: a slider 6, a track plate 5 and the matching structure between them; two track plates 5 are installed by welding or bolting at the pre-set positions on the inner walls of both sides of the chip box body 1. The two track plates are arranged in parallel and precisely aligned to form a stable sliding track. The track plate material is selected from high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel to ensure wear resistance and non-deformation, and can withstand the weight and impact of the hopper 4 when sliding under full load; the slider 6 is designed to be a structure that fits tightly with the outer surface of the hopper 4, and is firmly fixed to the inner wall of the hopper by screws or other fasteners; the slider material is also selected from engineering plastics or metal alloys with strong wear resistance, and a coating with a low friction coefficient or an inlaid self-lubricating material is designed on its contact surface to reduce sliding resistance and extend service life; the shape of the slider 6 is precisely matched with the guide rail on the inner side of the track plate 5 to form a slide-slider system.
