The operator only needs to control the switch of the electric hydraulic rod to realize the lifting and lowering of the wire basket 4, which greatly reduces the burden of manual operation; through the design of the suspension ropes 10 and the hooks 11 symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the mounting plate 9, the balance and stability of the wire basket 4 during the hoisting process are ensured. This helps to prevent accidents such as tilting or falling during the hoisting process and improves the safety of the operation. The quick response and stable performance of the hoisting mechanism make the loading and unloading process of the wire basket 4 more efficient. The operator can quickly put the raw materials to be cleaned into the wire basket 4 and send it into the cleaning tank 1 for cleaning through the hoisting mechanism; after the cleaning is completed, the wire basket 4 can be quickly taken out for the next step of processing.
