During the washing process, the absorbent cotton 7 can be squeezed at any time to release the cleaning solution, making it convenient for medical staff to operate; the arc frame 1 is U-shaped and can fit onto the side wall of the rubber cup, so that the rear side of the recessed part 4 and the front side of the protruding part 5 can fit against the inner and outer side walls of the rubber cup respectively, making it convenient for medical staff to operate and use; the recessed part 4 and the protruding part 5 are both made of plastic with an elastic modulus between 1.2GPa and 1.8GPa, which has a certain elasticity and can produce a certain elastic deformation under the pressure of the hand, making it convenient to fit against the inner and outer side walls of the rubber cup;

[0029] Furthermore, by Figures 1 to 4As shown, in order to better control the scrubbing force, a third brush 8 is fixedly connected to both the inner and outer sides of the middle of the arc frame 1; the bristles on the third brush 8 are hard bristles, and the material is made of one or more of PET, nylon, and synthetic fibers, which have strong cleaning power.

[0030] In use, this device has three modes. The first mode involves fitting the curved frame 1 onto the side wall of the rubber bowl, allowing the rear side of the recessed portion 4 and the front side of the protruding portion 5 to fit against the inner and outer walls of the rubber bowl, respectively. By holding the curved frame 1, medical personnel can apply appropriate pressure to the third brush 8 to clean the inner and outer sides of the rubber bowl. With less pressure, the cleaning action is mainly performed by the first brush 2 and the second brush 3, minimizing damage to the rubber bowl. With greater pressure, the third brush 8 plays a primary cleaning role, providing better cleaning capabilities. The second mode involves placing the entire device inside the rubber bowl and positioning it sideways, allowing the second brush 3 corresponding to the side scraper 6 to fit against the inner wall of the rubber bowl. The shape of the side scraper 6 helps to scrape away any remaining material inside the rubber bowl. The third mode involves directly using absorbent cotton 7 to wipe and brush other dental instruments, effectively reducing the probability of instrument scratches.

Multiple leakage holes 14 are opened in the middle of the cleaning part 13. Multiple first anti-slip protrusions 15 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the cleaning part 13. A second anti-slip protrusion 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the support protrusion 9 away from the recessed part 4.

[0039] In use, by setting up a cleaning section, in the first usage method mentioned above, the bottom of the bowl can be cleaned directly through the cleaning section. Through the drain hole 14, the cleaning liquid stored inside the absorbent cotton 7 can flow into the bottom of the bowl through the recess 4 and the drain hole 14 under pressure. By setting up the first anti-slip protrusion 15 and the second anti-slip protrusion 16, it is convenient for medical staff to grip during the cleaning process.

[0040] Furthermore, by Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the scraping of a large amount of material, a snap-fit ​​plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the elastic part 10 near the side scraping part 6, and a snap-fit ​​groove 18 is provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​plate 17 near the elastic part 10.

[0041] In the second usage method described above, when cleaning the inner wall of the rubber cup by scraping with the side scraper 6, the snap-fit ​​groove 18 inside the snap-fit ​​plate 17 can be snapped into the upper edge of the rubber cup, which makes it more convenient for medical staff to apply force for cleaning.

[0042] This invention has three usage methods. The first method involves fitting the arc-shaped frame 1 onto the side wall of the rubber bowl, allowing the rear side of the recessed portion 4 and the front side of the protruding portion 5 to respectively conform to the inner and outer walls of the rubber bowl. By holding the arc-shaped frame 1, medical personnel can apply appropriate pressure to the third brush 8 to clean the inner and outer sides of the rubber bowl. When applying less pressure, the cleaning action is mainly performed by the first brush 2 and the second brush 3, reducing damage to the rubber bowl. When applying greater pressure, the third brush 8 plays a primary cleaning role, providing better cleaning capabilities. The second method involves placing the entire device inside the rubber bowl and positioning it sideways, allowing the second brush 3 corresponding to the side scraper 6 to conform to the inner wall of the rubber bowl. The shape of the side scraper 6 helps to scrape away any remaining material inside the rubber bowl. The third method involves directly using absorbent cotton 7 to wipe and brush other dental instruments, effectively reducing the probability of instrument scratches.
