A cleaning cage is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block. A lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the cleaning cage is provided inside the box body. A flipping mechanism for flipping the cleaning cage is also provided inside the box body. The lifting mechanism includes a threaded rod rotatably connected to the bottom of the box body. The threaded rod passes through the movable plate and is threadedly connected to it.

[0007] Preferably, the flipping mechanism includes two symmetrically arranged racks fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, with the two racks passing through two through slots respectively.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the crossbar located in the through groove are fixedly sleeved with gears, and the two gears respectively mesh with two racks.

[0009] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the housing, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the lower end of the threaded rod.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the box is fixedly connected to four support legs, which are arranged in a rectangular shape.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning cage has a mesh design, and a drain outlet is provided on the rear wall of the box.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end of the movable plate is connected to the inner bottom of the box body by a corrugated pipe, which is sleeved on the threaded rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By setting up a lifting mechanism, the output shaft of the drive motor rotates, which drives the moving plate to move, thereby moving the fixed block and the cleaning cage, so that the cleaning cage can be moved outside the box and lifted out, making it easier to take out the instrument and improving the convenience of use.

[0015] 2. By setting up a flipping mechanism, after being lifted, the output shaft of the drive motor continues to rotate, driving the moving plate to continue moving upward. The moving plate drives the gear and the crossbar to move upward. When the gear moves to the toothed surface of the rack, the gear rotates under the action of the toothed surface, driving the crossbar to rotate, thereby driving the fixed block to rotate, and driving the cleaning cage to rotate around the crossbar as the axis, realizing the flipping of the cleaning cage. This allows the instruments inside the cleaning cage to be poured out quickly, greatly improving the efficiency of use. Attached Figure Description

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3As shown, the medical device cleaning box in this embodiment includes a box body 1. A limiting rod 4 is provided on one side of the inside of the box body 1. A movable plate 7 is slidably sleeved on the limiting rod 4. A groove 9 is formed at the upper end of the movable plate 7. Two symmetrically arranged through grooves 12 are also formed on the movable plate 7. A crossbar 11 is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the two through grooves 12. A fixing block 10 is fixedly sleeved on the crossbar 11 located in the groove 9. A cleaning cage 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block 10. When the fixing block 10 is in a horizontal position, its lower end contacts the inner wall of the groove 9 to maintain the stability of the cleaning cage 3. The box body 1 contains an ultrasonic generator commonly used in the art, which emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves to vibrate liquid molecules, thereby cleaning the medical device.

[0022] The housing 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the cleaning cage 3. The lifting mechanism includes a threaded rod 6 rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The threaded rod 6 passes through the movable plate 7 and is threadedly connected to it.
