Coal hopper elevator

The utility model provides a coal hopper elevator with high efficiency and a counting function. The coal hopper elevator comprises a tractor and a coal hopper connected with the tractor, and also comprises an elevating channel for the coal hopper to travel up and down; the upper part and the lower part of the elevating channel are respectively provided with an approach sensor for detecting the approach of the coal hopper; two approach sensors are connected to the tractor; the tractor can accelerate when the coal hopper is positioned between the two approach sensors and decelerate when the coal hopper is positioned beyond the two approach sensors through the two approach sensors; one of the approach sensors is connected with a counter. According to the coal hopper elevator, the coal hopper elevating and descending process is quicker and more efficient; one approach sensor is connected with the counter, so that the counting function is realized and the approach sensor is reutilized.
