A mounting groove 1654 is formed in the housing 1651. A baffle 1655 is fixed on the bottom surface of the housing 1651, and a through hole 1656 is formed in the baffle 1655 corresponding to the position of the mounting groove 1654. The ball 1652 and the spring 1653 are mounted in the mounting groove 1654. One end of the spring 1653 abuts against the inner side surface of the mounting groove, and the other end abuts against the ball 1652, and part of the ball 1652 is exposed outside the through hole 1656.

[0021] In the present embodiment, the clamping part 15 comprises two opposite horizontal air cylinders 151 mounted on the left and right sides of the surface of the horizontal plate 141 of the moving plate 14, and two clamping plates 152 driven by the horizontal air cylinders 151. Two rollers 153 capable of clamping the edge of the washing basket disc 902 are arranged on the inner side surface of the clamping plate 152. The two horizontal air cylinders can drive the two clamping plates to move close to or away from each other, and when the two clamping plates move close to each other, the washing basket can be hooked, and when the two clamping plates move away from each other, the washing basket can be released.

[0022] A second guide rod 145 is horizontally arranged in the two vertical plates 142. The two ends of the second guide rod 145 are respectively located in the second guide sleeves 146 of the two clamping plates 152.

[0023] The in-place sensor 17 comprises a transmitter part 171 and a receiver part 172 arranged on the left and right sides of the support 173 opposite to each other. Holes 905 horizontally opposite to each other are arranged on the two discs 902 of the washing basket 9. In the present embodiment, the washing basket is driven to rotate by the power part, and when it is needed to stop the washing basket, the hole 905 on the disc 902 is rotated to the position of the sensor 17, the light beam emitted by the transmitter part 171 of the sensor 17 can pass through the hole 905 of the disc 902 and be received by the receiver part 172, which indicates that the support leg 904 of the washing basket is located directly below the washing basket at this time, and the rotation is in place, and the power part 16 stops running.

[0024] In addition, a translation driving device (not shown in the figure) for driving the rotary driving device to move forward and backward is connected above the rotary driving device, so as to realize the forward and backward movement of the rotary driving device. In the present embodiment, the translation driving device is motor-driven. The translation driving device is a prior art, which will not be described here.

[0025] When the washing basket 9 reaches the position below the rotating driving device, the movable plate lifting cylinder 13 drives the movable plate 14 to descend to the preset position, then the two horizontal cylinders 151 drive the two clamping plates 152 to approach each other and move towards the washing basket 9, and then the rollers 153 on the two clamping plates 152 hook the two discs 902 of the washing basket respectively. Subsequently, the movable plate lifting cylinder 13 drives the movable plate 14 to ascend, and the washing basket 9 is lifted until the gear 162 of the rotating mechanism 16 is engaged with the tooth hole 903 on one of the discs 902. Then, the translation driving device drives the rotating driving device to move to the position above the cleaning tank, and then the movable plate lifting cylinder 13 drives the movable plate 14 to descend, and the washing basket is transferred into the cleaning tank. The motor 161 is started to drive the gear 162 to rotate, and the washing basket 9 is rotated. Meanwhile, the pressing cylinder 164 drives the elastic pressing head 165 to descend and press the other disc 902, so that the rotation of the two ends of the washing basket is synchronous and stable. When the washing of the washing basket is completed, the movable plate lifting cylinder 13 drives the movable plate 14 to ascend, and the washing basket 9 is lifted. The translation driving device drives the rotating driving device to move to the position above the conveying line on the side of the cleaning tank. When the washing basket is lifted from the cleaning tank, the washing basket is full of sewage, so the washing basket is rotated and then conveyed away, and the products in the washing basket are dried. When the washing basket needs to be stopped, the hole 905 on the disc 902 is rotated to the position of the sensor 17, the light beam emitted by the emitter part 171 passes through the hole 905 on the disc 902 and is received by the receiver part 172, which indicates that the supporting leg 904 of the washing basket is located below the washing basket, and the rotation is completed. The power part 16 is stopped. Subsequently, the movable plate lifting cylinder 13 drives the movable plate 14 to descend to the preset position, and the supporting leg 904 of the washing basket 9 contacts the rotating roller of the conveying line below. Meanwhile, the two horizontal cylinders 151 drive the two clamping plates 152 to move away, and the washing basket 9 is released. The conveying line conveys the washing basket away, and the rotating driving device returns to the original position to wait for the next washing basket 9.

[0026] In summary, the power part drives the washing basket to rotate, and when the washing basket needs to be stopped, the hole on the disc is rotated to the position of the sensor. The light beam emitted by the emitter part can pass through the hole on the disc and be received by the receiver part, which indicates that the supporting leg of the washing basket is located below the washing basket, and the rotation is completed. The power part is stopped. In addition, the gear of the power part is engaged with the tooth hole on the disc on one side of the washing basket. The motor drives the gear to rotate, and then drives the washing basket to rotate. The elastic pressing head driven by the pressing cylinder descends and presses the disc on the other side of the washing basket, so that the rotation of the two ends of the washing basket is synchronous, and the end of the washing basket is prevented from being lifted up during the rotation.
