[0032] The draining mechanism includes a drain pipe 61 that is fixed to the conical tank shell 6. The drain pipe 61 can receive the liquid collected inside the conical tank shell 6.

[0033] like Figures 1-4As shown, the lifting and cleaning mechanism includes a first electric telescopic cylinder 2. The telescopic rod of the first electric telescopic cylinder 2 can extend and retract. The first electric telescopic cylinder 2 is installed on the bottom connecting seat 64 by screws on the screw mounting plate 22. The first electric telescopic cylinder 2 can be installed accordingly.
