The operator can rotate the fixing bolts 28 according to the different seedling trays, thereby adjusting the position of the sliding plate 27 and the guide frame 29 on the fixing plate 26. The photoelectric sensors control the telescopic device 19 to move the lifting platform 20 and the lifting frame 21 upwards. The lifting frame 21 rises from the gap on the conveying rollers 2. The seedling tray is moved above the lifting hook 4, and at the same time the seedling tray pushes the lifting hook 4 to rotate around the rotating shaft 16. Then, it is reset by the torsion spring 18. The telescopic device 19 retracts until the next seedling tray triggers the photoelectric sensor again. When the operator rotates the adjusting handle 9, it can drive the first threaded rod 10 to rotate. The limiting block 11 and the guide block 15 on the first threaded rod 10 move vertically along the guide groove 14. The limiting block 11 moves away from the limiting groove 12, so that the adjusting sleeve 7 can slide along the connecting plate 8 and the hook tail 5 to adjust the position of the hook head 6, and also make it easy to replace the hook head 6.
