[0014] In the above technical scheme, the width of the cotton collecting bin is 3200mm, and the width of the frame is 1300mm.

[0015] In the above technical scheme, the two picking heads on the picking head frame are arranged in opposite directions.

[0016] In the above technical scheme, the side of the cotton collecting bin is provided with a cotton unloading door.

[0017] In summary, the technical scheme of the utility model has the beneficial effects compared with the traditional technical means: the utility model changes the front axle structure of the traditional cotton picker driven by the reduction gearbox to rotate the hub, directly controls the rotation of the front wheel hub through the integrated hydraulic motor, does not need the transmission of components such as reduction gearbox and connecting rod, reduces the mass of the power system, improves the transmission efficiency, cancels the mechanical differential device, is conducive to reducing the transmission noise, is conducive to the optimization of the overall layout of the vehicle, is more convenient to install and maintain, the two hydraulic motors do not have a linkage relationship, are controlled respectively through the control mechanism, the control precision is higher, and the output torque is larger.
