When the probe is fixed, the pull plate 31 is pulled by the vertical plate 34, and the pull plate 31 drives the squeezing plate 32 to move, and the squeezing plate 32 retracts into the movable groove. The through hole 2 is opened, and the vertical plate 34 moves and pulls the spring 35. The spring 35 generates elastic force after being pulled. After the probe is inserted into the through hole 2, the vertical plate 34 is released. Under the pulling force of the spring 35, the vertical plate 34 is driven to move toward the box body 1. The vertical plate 34 drives the squeezing plate 32 to move through the pulling plate 31. The squeezing plate 32 contacts the probe through the arc groove 33 to squeeze and fix the probe. The squeezing plate 32 is pushed to fix the probe by the elastic force of the spring 35.

After the probe is inserted into the through hole 2, the vertical plate 34 is released, and the vertical plate 34 is driven to move toward the box body 1 under the pulling force of the spring 35. The vertical plate 34 drives the squeezing plate 32 to move through the pull plate 31, and the squeezing plate 32 contacts the probe through the arc groove 33 to squeeze and fix the probe. The squeezing plate 32 is pushed to fix the probe by the elastic force of the spring 35. After multiple squeezing, the squeezing effect of the squeezing plate 32 will not be reduced, and the fixing effect of the probe is maintained, and the probe is stably fixed. The control box controls the liquid storage mechanism 8 to release a certain amount of cleaning liquid, and the released cleaning liquid falls into the cleaning mechanism 5, and then controls the electric telescopic rod 4 to start. After the electric telescopic rod 4 is started, it drives the cleaning mechanism 5 to move upward a set distance, and the upper end of the cleaning mechanism 5 contacts the inner upper end of the box body 1. The bottom of the probe is located in the cleaning mechanism 5. The control box controls the cleaning mechanism 5 to start and clean the probe.

The dust in the air falls downward through the arc groove 33 and falls into the cleaning mechanism 5, thereby making the cleaning mechanism 5 dirty. Figure 1 As another preferred embodiment of the utility model, the difference from embodiment 1 is that a sealing mechanism 10 is connected to the upper end of the box body 1 to prevent dust from passing through the arc groove 33. The sealing mechanism 10 includes a rotating shaft 101, which is rotatably connected to the upper end of the box body 1. A baffle 102 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 101, and the baffle 102 is in contact with the upper end of the box body 1. After cleaning, the probe is removed and the baffle 102 is rotated so that the baffle 102 is located at the upper end of the through hole 2 to seal the through hole 2. Dust in the air cannot pass through the arc groove 33, so that dust will not fall into the cleaning mechanism 5, thereby improving the cleanliness of the cleaning mechanism 5 and not causing the cleaning mechanism 5 to be dirty.
