The invention discloses a dual-purpose anti-rapid-falling hanging basket device for building construction. The hanging basket device comprises a base, rolling wheel mechanisms, a driving motor, a hanging basket, a winding wheel, an anti-rapid-falling device and a rotating disc; a sliding rail is arranged on the left side of the top of the base; a sliding base is arranged on the sliding rail in a matched mode; a second support is arranged on the sliding base; the rotating disc is arranged on an auxiliary driving shaft at the upper part of the second support; the anti-rapid-falling device is fixed to the right side of the top of the base through a first support in a supported mode; a winding shaft is arranged in the middle of the anti-rapid-falling device; a driven gear is arranged on the position, on the left side of the anti-rapid-falling device, of the winding shaft and is connected to a driving gear arranged on an output shaft of the driving motor in a meshing mode; the winding wheelis arranged on the position, on the right side of the anti-rapid-falling device, of the winding shaft; a rope is connected to the winding wheel in a wound mode; the hanging basket is arranged at theother end of the rope; and the multiple rolling wheel mechanisms are arranged on an outer ring of the bottom of the base. The hanging basket device has the advantages that the hanging basket is drivento ascend and descend in two modes, in addition, the phenomenon that the hanging basket falls rapidly when the device breaks down can be avoided, and a safety guarantee can be provided for building construction.
