The pusher 21 can reciprocate between the feeding end and the unloading end of the brush 3, and the pusher 21 passes through the scrubbing space when moving from the feeding end to the unloading end. When cleaning the battery 8, the battery 8 to be cleaned can be delivered to the feeding end of the brush 3. With the movement of the pushing member 21, the pushing member 21 can push the battery 8 at the feeding end into the brushing space, and push the battery 8 to move in the brushing space, and then push the battery 8 out of the brushing space from the unloading end of the brush 3.
