[0012] In the above solution, the rubber wiper blade can remove water from the outer wall of the cable as it passes through, and then the sponge can wipe away any remaining water from the outer wall of the cable, greatly reducing the moisture on the cable.

[0013] Preferably, the drying box has cable inlets and outlets on both sides of its outer wall, and fans are installed on the top and bottom inner walls of the drying box.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the delivery pipe is connected to a water pipe, and the fan is connected to a switch, which is connected to a power cord.

[0015] In the above solution, the moisture on the cable can be dried by the fans installed on the inner walls of the top and bottom of the drying box, so that it can be directly wound.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. The cable is wound around the upper and lower conveyor rollers in sequence, sinks and is immersed in the cleaning solution in the scrubbing tank. When the cable passes through the tubular brush, it is scrubbed by the bristles, which can remove oil and impurities. Then, it is sprayed by the nozzle to clean the outer wall of the cable.

[0018] 2. The rubber squeegee can remove water from the outer wall of the cable as it passes through, and then the sponge can wipe away any remaining water from the outer wall of the cable, greatly reducing the moisture on the cable. The fans installed on the top and bottom inner walls of the drying box can dry the water on the cable, allowing it to be wound directly. Attached Figure Description
