A fixed frame 312 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the first fixed frame 311. A motor 313 is fixedly connected to the back of the fixed frame 312. A worm gear 314 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 313. A worm wheel 315 is meshed at the bottom of the worm gear 314. A rotating rod 316 is fixedly connected to the right side of the worm wheel 315. A connecting column 317 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating rod 316. An adjusting plate 318 is rotatably connected to the inner right side of the first fixed frame 311. A limit plate 319 is fixedly connected to the left side of the adjusting plate 318. A gear 3110 is fixedly connected to the right side of the adjusting plate 318. A gear 3111 meshes at the bottom of the gear 3110, which facilitates the intermittent rotation of the adjusting plate 318.

[0032] Furthermore, the worm gear 315 is rotatably connected inside the fixed frame 312, and the outside of the limiting plate 319 is in contact with the outside of the rotating rod 316, which facilitates limiting the movement of the adjusting plate 318.

[0033] Furthermore, a through slot is provided on the left side of the adjusting plate 318, and the diameter of the connecting column 317 is the same as the width of the slot.

[0035] Furthermore, a hole is provided at the corresponding position of the gear 3111 and the hanging rod 323, and the hanging rod 323 is rotatably connected in the hole to facilitate the suspension of the corresponding connecting structure. Example

[0036] Based on the existing technological challenges in improving water flow fluidity, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the circulation mechanism 4 includes a water pump 41, which is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed box 1. An inlet pipe 42 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the water pump 41 and the fixed box 1, and an outlet pipe 43 is fixedly connected between the top of the water pump 41 and the fixed box 1.

The adjusting plate 318 then drives the gear one 3110 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear two 3111 to rotate. The gear two 3111 then drives the hanging rod 323 to rotate, thus causing the top... A hanging rod 323 with medical devices is inserted into the cleaning tank 7, simultaneously activating the ultrasonic transmitter 6 to clean the medical devices inside the cleaning tank 7. At the same time, another set of hanging rods 323 moves to the top of the device after its rotating rod 316 rotates once, making it convenient for manual placement of another set of connecting hooks 324 with medical devices onto the hanging rods 323. This cycle repeats continuously, allowing for loading and unloading operations during the cleaning of adjacent sets of medical devices, thus avoiding interruptions in the cleaning process and improving overall work efficiency. During the cleaning process, the water pump 41 is activated by the circulation mechanism 4, drawing the cleaning water filtered by the filter plate 44 from the inlet pipe 42. The water is then pumped back into the device from the outlet pipe 43, thus repeating the cycle and further improving the flow of the cleaning water inside the cleaning tank.
