[0027] Please refer to Figure 3, A camera 11 electrically connected to the PLC controller 6 is also rotatably installed at the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 18.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 , A jacket 3 is sleeved outside the vacuum buffer tank body 1. A water outlet pipe 2 is communicated and arranged on the side wall at the top end of the jacket 3, and a water inlet pipe 4 is communicated and arranged on the side wall at the bottom end of the jacket 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, during use, after the staff starts the motor 9, the motor 9 can drive the first pulley 15 to rotate. At this time, the first pulley 15 can drive the second pulley 16 to rotate through the transmission belt 14. At this time, the connecting cylinder 18 at the middle position of the second pulley 16 can rotate simultaneously with the second pulley 16. Since the connecting pipe 10 is rotatably installed at the top end of the connecting cylinder 18, during the rotation of the connecting cylinder 18, the connecting pipe 10 can ensure that the cleaning liquid flows smoothly into the connecting cylinder 18, can ensure that the high-pressure nozzles 17 inside the cleaning rack 13 spray high-pressure water flow smoothly, can uniformly clean the inner wall of the vacuum buffer tank body 1, can improve the cleaning efficiency, and since the cleaning rack 13 is attached to the inner wall of the vacuum buffer tank body 1, it can ensure that there are no dead corners in the cleaning of the inner wall of the vacuum buffer tank body 1. At the same time, the cleaning condition of the inner wall of the vacuum buffer tank body 1 can be remotely monitored through the camera 11, and the cleaning quality can be ensured.
