[0002] Cookware is a widely used kitchen utensil in daily life, usually made of metal, ceramic, glass, etc., and has good thermal conductivity and durability. In industrial production, after multiple processing steps such as stamping, welding, polishing, and coating, cookware often has residual oil, metal shavings, oxide scale, dust, and other impurities on its surface. These contaminants not only affect the appearance quality of the product but may also affect the adhesion and lifespan of subsequent processes. Therefore, cleaning is an indispensable and important step in the cookware production process. Existing technology, such as the Chinese Utility Model Publication CN217857674U, discloses a cleaning device for iron pot production, including a frame, a first cleaning mechanism for cleaning the iron pot, a second cleaning mechanism for cleaning the iron pot, and a lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the second cleaning mechanism. The first cleaning mechanism is located above the frame, the second cleaning mechanism is located above the first cleaning mechanism, and lifting mechanisms are located on both sides of the second cleaning mechanism.

[0003] The device uses hooks to hang cookware, requiring the cookware to have hanging ears or pot ears and hanging holes. However, in actual production, many cookware are not yet processed with hanging ears in the early stages of forming, such as after stamping, or some irregularly shaped cookware does not have a hanging structure. Such cookware cannot be cleaned using this equipment. Furthermore, during the cleaning process, the cookware is fixed on the hook and only moves linearly, which can easily lead to cleaning dead corners and make it impossible to clean the cookware effectively. In addition, during the rinsing process, the cookware is prone to shifting or even falling due to water flow impact or vibration, which affects processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention
