When the discharge pipe 10 needs to be cleaned, the motor 12 is started and the water pump 17 is started at the same time. The water pump 17 draws the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 13 into the liquid storage chamber 25, and then sprays it out by the nozzle 24 to flush the inner wall of the discharge pipe 10, and then cooperates with the liquid storage chamber 25 to discharge the residual dirt after flushing.
