[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Multiple furnace tubes are placed on two support rollers 28. Then, motor 4 26 drives rotating rod 24 to rotate.

[0025] After the cleaning is completed, motor 213 reverses its operation, causing the pressing and rotating mechanism 18 to rise away from the cleaning tank 1, and the furnace tube to rise away from the cleaning liquid. Then, motor 36 drives the upright 19 to rotate through the rotating shaft 35. The upright 19 drives the base plate 27 and the lifting plate 29 to rotate synchronously, so that the furnace tube rotates 90 degrees perpendicular to the cleaning tank 1, allowing the residual cleaning liquid on the surface of the furnace tube to flow back into the cleaning tank 1. At the same time, the heating tube 9 heats and generates high temperature. Then, motor 18 drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate. The rotating rod 16 drives the fan 4 to rotate through the meshing of bevel gear 27 and bevel gear 15. The fan 4 blows the high temperature generated by the heating tube 9 onto the furnace tube, so that the furnace tube dries quickly.
