[0033] In some technical solutions, a buffer pad 9 is installed on the front side wall of the auxiliary picking plate 8;

[0034] In this technical solution, the cushioning pad 9 is made of foam, and Apple can cushion the impact on the cushioning pad 9.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, the movable base 1 can be moved to the lower end of the apple tree, and then the height can be adjusted by extending and retracting the electric push rod a2. Then, by controlling the rotation of the bearing base plate 7 and extending and retracting the electric push rod b12, the angle and position of the auxiliary picking plate 8 can be adjusted, so that when picking apples, the apples can slide down the auxiliary picking plate 8.
