[0016] Figure 1 、 2As shown, the cleaning tank 1, the spray pipe 3 and the net support plate 10 are made of stainless steel. The electromagnetic valves DC1, DC2 and DC3 are normally closed valve core electromagnetic valves. The interval between each two of the plurality of spray pipes 3 is greater than the outer diameter of the optical glass. The power input terminals of the electric heating tube RT and the blower M are connected in series with one of the power switches S4 and S5, and the two poles of the AC 220V power source are connected with wires respectively. The power input terminals 1 and 2 of the power module W1 are connected with wires with the two poles of the AC 220V power source respectively.
