[0002] At present, due to people's increasing attention to their personal health and some reasons such as irregular diet, the number of endoscopes used for examination in the hospital's endocrinology department is increasing year by year. The endoscope cleaning machine is a device specially designed for cleaning and disinfecting endoscopes. It has the characteristics of high efficiency and automation, which can help medical institutions to quickly and safely clean and disinfect endoscopes to ensure their high-quality reuse. At the same time, it can also effectively avoid the secondary contamination of equipment caused by the negligence of personal hygiene and disinfection when the staff is cleaning and disinfecting the endoscope.
[0003] Therefore, an endoscope cleaning machine with fast, safe and efficient self-cleaning effect will have a good prospect market. However, judging from the currently available equipment, the endoscope cleaning machine will cause dirt residue in some dead corners inside the basin or on the cover during the cleaning process. Due to the splashing of cleaning water during the cleaning process, the dirt residue is mostly on the cover. Therefore, the inside of the basin and the cover require a device with 360° no dead corners to meet the above needs. There are some devices on the market that can perform internal self-cleaning. Through research and comparison, there are many problems, such as: the need for electric drive, the pressure cannot meet the effective flushing effect, and other problems. Utility Model Content

The water-spraying base 43 includes a connecting cavity for connecting with the water-spraying upper shell 42 and a water-spraying pipe 49 installed on the connecting cavity. A spiral blade 45 coaxially arranged with the connecting cavity is installed in the connecting cavity. Therefore, when the high-pressure water source enters the connecting cavity through the pipe connector 41, the water flow impacts the spiral blade 45 from above, thereby driving the spiral blade 45 to rotate, and then driving the water-spraying base 43 to rotate. The impact of the high-pressure water flow will transmit the downward impact force to the water-stop gasket 46 through the water-spraying upper shell 42. The water-spraying upper shell 42 can press the water-stop gasket 46 and the outer ring flange 48 of the bearing 44 under the impact of the water flow. The setting of the bearing 44 can ensure the smoothness of the rotation, and the rotation speed can also be adjusted according to the size of the water flow.

The person can place the endoscope in the cleaning basin 2 without moving, and after closing the transparent upper cover 3, the cleaning operation can be controlled by the power switch 10, and the cleaning liquid is injected into the cleaning basin 2 to enter the endoscope cleaning step. When the high-pressure water source enters through the pipe connector 41, the endoscope is cleaned. After entering the connecting cavity, the water flow impacts the spiral blade 45 from above, thereby driving the spiral blade 45 to rotate, and then driving the water spray base 43 to rotate. The impact of the high-pressure water flow will transmit the downward impact force to the water stop gasket 46 through the water spray upper shell 42. The water spray upper shell 42 can press the water stop gasket 46 and the outer ring flange 48 of the bearing 44 under the impact of the impact force of the water flow.
