The second cleaning tank 13 is located in the next process of the first cleaning tank 11. When the cleaning liquid in the first cleaning tank 11 cannot be used, the solenoid valve 6 can be opened to flow the cleaning liquid in the second cleaning tank 13 into the first cleaning tank 11, so that the cleaning liquid in the second cleaning tank 13 can be reused and resources can be saved.
[0031] Specifically, the ultrasonic generating assembly is disposed at the bottom of the cleaning basket 14 and includes an ultrasonic generator 8 and an ultrasonic transducer 9. The ultrasonic generator 8 and the ultrasonic transducer 9 are electrically connected via a connecting line. The ultrasonic generating assembly can clean the surgical forceps more thoroughly, thereby increasing the cleaning effect of the surgical forceps.
[0032] Specifically, a gantry 2 is provided on the cleaning body 1, and a reinforcing column 7 is provided at the connection between the gantry 2 and the cleaning body 1 to ensure the stability of the gantry 2. The driving mechanism 3 includes a lead screw 33 and a light bar 32 respectively provided on the gantry 2, and a motor 31 connected to the lead screw 33. The suspension mechanism 4 is provided on the lead screw 33 and the light bar 32 and can move along the length direction of the lead screw 33. The suspension mechanism 4 includes a moving part 41 and a suspension part 43 that can move relative to the moving part 41. The moving part 41, when driven by the driving mechanism 3, can drive the suspension part 43 to move along the arrangement direction of the plurality of cleaning tanks. A guide rail groove 21 is provided on the gantry 2, and a guide rail 411 is provided on the moving part 41 corresponding to the guide rail groove 21. The guide rail 411 is provided in the guide rail groove 21 and can slide along the guide rail groove 21, so that the moving part 41 can slide stably along the length direction of the gantry 2.
[0033] Specifically, the suspension mechanism 4 further includes a cylinder 42, which is mounted on the movable portion 41. The drive end of the cylinder 42 is connected to the suspension portion 43. After the drive mechanism 3 drives the suspension portion 43 to a designated position, the cylinder 42 drives the suspension portion 43 toward the cleaning tank, where it is placed to clean the surgical forceps.
[0034] Specifically, the hanging portion 43 includes a hanging basket 436 having an open end, a hanging cover 431 disposed at the open end of the hanging basket 436, and a hanging hook 433 disposed on the hanging cover 431 and used to hang surgical forceps. The hanging hooks 433 are provided in a plurality, and a partition plate is also provided within the hanging basket 436 to separate the plurality of hanging hooks 433. The hanging cover 431 is provided with a fixing member 432, and the hanging hook 433 is detachably attached to the hanging cover 431 via the fixing member 432. The hanging hook 433 can hang multiple surgical forceps and separate them via the partition plate to prevent collision between the surgical forceps during cleaning, thereby preventing damage to the surgical forceps.
[0035] In this embodiment, the partitions include a transverse partition 435 and a longitudinal partition 434. The transverse partition 435 and the longitudinal partition 434 are arranged to intersect with each other to divide the hanging basket 436 into a plurality of receiving slots for placing surgical forceps.

The heated air is then discharged to the surgical forceps through the air outlet holes 54. The air outlet holes 54 on all four sides of the drying basket 56 ensure that multiple surfaces of the surgical forceps are exposed to the hot air, thereby evenly drying the surgical forceps and improving the drying efficiency of the hot air.
[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is that the operator first hangs the surgical forceps on the hanging cover 431 through the hanging hook 433, then matches the hanging basket 436 with the hanging cover 431, rotates the elastic member 438, and pushes the elastic member 438 toward the middle of the hanging basket 436, so that the bottom surface of the stop surface is against the hanging cover 431, thereby realizing the matching connection between the hanging basket 436 and the hanging cover 431, and turning on the motor 31. The motor 31 drives the screw 33 to rotate, and the screw 33 drives the moving part 41 to move along the length direction of the screw 33. The hanging mechanism 4 passes through the first cleaning tank 11, the second cleaning tank 13 and the third cleaning tank 15 to respectively perform the initial cleaning of the surgical forceps, the secondary cleaning and drying of the ultrasonic generating component, thereby cleaning the surgical forceps while drying the surface moisture, thereby completing the cleaning operation of the surgical forceps. The surgical forceps are cleaned more thoroughly and can also ensure that the surgical forceps are not damaged.
