[0031] The opening of the cup body 1 is sleeved with a limit ring 12, and an annular platform 121 extends from the inner side of the limit ring 12. In this embodiment, the cross section of the limit ring 12 and the annular platform 121 after combination is preferably a right angle; an anti-fool groove 122 is opened on the inner wall of the annular platform 121. A waterproof platform 123 extends from the annular platform 121, and a guide column 124 is arranged on the waterproof platform 123. In this embodiment, three guide columns 124 are preferably provided, and the three guide columns 124 are respectively connected to the neutral line, the live line and the ground line; one end of the guide column 124 passes through the waterproof platform 123 and the annular platform 121 in sequence, and one end of the guide column 124 is electrically connected to the PCB board 11, and the guide column 124 is powered on or off through the PCB board 11; the other end of the guide column 124 is higher than the top of the waterproof platform 123, and the waterproof platform 123 and the guide column 124 are close to the anti-fool groove 122.
[0032] The control panel 13 is provided with an indicator light 131, which is used to remind the user of the operation status of the device; the control panel 13 is provided with a switch 132, and in this embodiment, two switches 132 are preferably provided, one of which is used to control the circuit board to connect and disconnect the power supply, and the other switch 132 is used to adjust the working intensity of the ultrasonic vibration part 151; the control panel 13 is electrically connected to the PCB board 11, and the control panel 13 provides the PCB board 11 with an operation command signal through the two switches 132, so that the PCB board 11 controls the operation of the device. The control panel 13 is covered with a rubber member 14, and a light-transmitting area 141 is provided at the position of the rubber member 14 corresponding to the indicator light 131, and the indicator light 131 can emit light through the light-transmitting area 141; a button 142 is provided at the position of the rubber member 14 corresponding to the switch 132, and in this embodiment, two buttons 142 are preferably provided, and the two buttons 142 correspond to the two switches 132, and the button 142 is close to the switch 132. Since the rubber member 14 is made of soft material, pressing the button 142 can touch the adjacent switch 132, thereby controlling the operation of the circuit board and the device. The control panel 13 is installed on the inner wall of the cup body 1, the rubber part 14 is located between the control panel 13 and the cup body 1, the light-transmitting area 141 and the button 142 both pass through the cup body 1, and the rubber part 14 is tightly attached to the cup body 1, so that the gap between the button 142 and the light-transmitting area 141 and the cup body 1 is closed by the rubber part 14, thereby improving the waterproof performance of the device.
[0033] An ultrasonic vibration part 151 is provided on the outer side of the inner liner 15. In this embodiment, the ultrasonic vibration part 151 is preferably placed at the center of the bottom of the inner liner 15. Since the dental braces are placed at the bottom of the inner liner 15 when placed in the inner liner 15, the ultrasonic vibration part 151 located at the bottom of the inner liner 15 can better transmit the vibration to the dental braces for cleaning; the ultrasonic vibration part 151 is electrically connected to the PCB board 11, and the PCB board 11 controls the power supply to turn on and off the ultrasonic vibration part 151. The inner liner 15 is placed in the cup body 1, and the edge of the inner liner 15 is fixedly connected to the limit ring 12, and the limit ring 12 fixes the inner liner 15 in the cup body 1. The infrared probe 111 faces the inner tank 15, and detects the temperature of the inner tank 15 through the infrared probe 111, so as to determine the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the inner tank 15, so as to control the PCB board 11 to control the ultrasonic vibration part 151 to stop or run to control the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the inner tank 15; the thermistor 112 is in contact with the inner tank 15, and the contact point between the thermistor and the inner tank is located at the transition between the inner wall of the inner tank and the bottom of the inner tank. Since the thermistor 112 is in direct contact with the inner tank 15, the thermistor 112 has a high detection accuracy for the temperature of the inner tank 15. The thermistor 112 can further improve the accuracy of detecting the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the tank, so that the device can respond as soon as possible by stopping the ultrasonic vibration part 151 when the cleaning liquid is at a high temperature; however, the thermistor 112 is in direct contact with the inner tank 15. After long-term use, the vibration emitted by the ultrasonic vibration part 151 will cause the solder joint between the thermistor 112 and the inner tank 15 to become unsoldered, causing the thermistor 112 to fail. At this time, the infrared probe 111 is used to detect the temperature of the inner tank 15 so that the device can still maintain the detection of the temperature of the inner tank 15.

In this embodiment, three through holes 321 are preferably used, and the three through holes 321 correspond to three ultraviolet lamp beads 51, and the ultraviolet lamp beads 51 pass through the through holes 321. During operation, the contact 322 guides the electric energy to the lamp board 5, thereby lighting the ultraviolet lamp beads 51, so that the ultraviolet lamp beads 51 irradiate the braces in the inner liner 15 when emitting ultraviolet rays, and the ultraviolet rays eliminate the bacteria on the braces, achieving a sterilization effect.
[0042] The utility model provides a cleaning machine capable of avoiding damage to a dental brace. A cleaning liquid is added into an inner tank, and the dental brace is placed into the cleaning liquid. The ultrasonic vibration part starts to operate, and high-frequency vibration is applied to the cleaning liquid in the inner tank to clean the dental brace. The cleaning liquid can cover the entire dental brace, so that each gap of the dental brace can be covered, thereby improving the cleanliness and cleaning efficiency of the cleaning. When the temperature of the cleaning liquid rises to a certain value, the temperature of the inner tank is detected by an infrared probe, so that it is determined that the cleaning liquid in the inner tank has too high a temperature, which will damage the dental brace. The PCB board controls the ultrasonic vibration part to stop operating. When the temperature of the cleaning liquid decreases, the ultrasonic vibration part will continue to operate to clean the dental brace, thereby avoiding the dental brace from being soaked in the high-temperature cleaning liquid and being damaged. The thermistor is in direct contact with the inner tank, so that the device has higher accuracy in controlling the temperature of the inner tank, and further avoids the dental brace from being soaked in the high-temperature cleaning liquid for a long time. However, since the vibration emitted by the ultrasonic vibration part during operation may cause the solder joint between the thermistor and the inner tank to fall off, resulting in failure of the thermistor. At this time, the infrared probe can enable the device to continue to operate the function of detecting the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the inner tank.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
