The invention relates to a method for cleaning an insulating oil sample bottle and a utilized cleaning device. The insulating oil sample bottle cleaning method comprises the steps of (1) ultrasonic decontamination: before work, preheating water to a suitable temperature firstly, adding laundry powder, placing an oil sample bottle in a cleaning basket which is then placed in a cleaning tank, rotating the cleaning basket to enable the oil sample bottle to be filled with a cleaning solution, and starting a decontamination ultrasonic generator for the decontamination; and (2) ultrasonic rinse: opening a blowdown valve after the decontamination cleaning is finished, cleaning the cleaning tank appropriately after the cleaning solution is discharged completely, closing the valve, opening a water inlet valve, opening the ultrasonic generator, heating the water to a suitable temperature, placing the oil sample bottle into the water for rinse, and after the oil sample bottle is rinsed cleanly, taking the bottle out of a vessel and performing draining separation. The method for cleaning the insulating oil sample bottle and the utilized cleaning device have the advantages as follows: (1) the cleaning speed is high, the cleaning effect is good, the cleanliness is high, and the damage to the surface of a workpiece is prevented; (2) hands of a worker are not contacted with the cleaning solution, and deep holes, thin seams and hidden positions of the workpiece can also be cleaned up safely and reliably; and (3), the cleaning precision is high, and tiny stain particles can be cleaned powerfully.
