Meanwhile, part of the material falling to one end of the hard wire 4252c, which is close to the cloth arm 4252a, slides down along the extending direction of the hard wire 4252c, so that the cloth is carried out through the screen 422 under the condition of smaller pressure or gravity, and the cloth is more uniform and fluffy.
