[0003] It has been found in the use of existing wafer cleaning devices that, firstly, during the rinsing process of the wafer, the cleaning liquid cannot achieve a very high rinsing efficiency for the wafer, which results in a low efficiency, resulting in the stains attached to the outer surface of the wafer being unable to be removed by the strong impact force of the cleaning liquid, and thus the practicability is poor; and during the rinsing process of the wafer, the shaking angle of the wafer is relatively fixed, and the cleaning liquid cannot ensure a strong impact on various parts of the wafer to remove the stains on the surface of the wafer, which results in high limitations.
