Multiple branch pipes are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cleaning box within the hollow structure. The water inlet ends of the multiple branch pipes are all connected to the main water spray pipe. Multiple second water spray nozzles are evenly distributed on the multiple branch pipes, and the other end of the second water spray nozzle extends into the interior of the inner wall.

[0014] Furthermore, multiple outer brush strips are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box. The multiple outer brush strips are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cleaning box and are alternately arranged with the multiple branch pipes. Each outer brush strip extends along the height direction of the cleaning box.

[0015] Furthermore, the water tank is divided into a cleaning agent area and a pure water area, and is equipped with a first water pump and a second water pump respectively. The outlet of the first water pump is connected to the inlet of the main spray pipe through a first pipeline, and a first solenoid valve is installed on the first pipeline. The outlet of the second water pump is connected to the inlet of the main spray pipe through a second pipeline, and a second solenoid valve is installed on the second pipeline. Both the cleaning agent area and the pure water area of ​​the water tank are connected to inlet pipes, and an outlet pipe is installed on one side of the lower end of the cleaning tank.

[0016] Furthermore, the cleaning box is equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp and a drying fan at its top interior.

[0064] This utility model uses a double hook 18 and a fixing device 19 to ensure that the instruments remain stable and do not fall off during the cleaning process.

[0065] How to use:

[0066] First, open the cabinet door and open the medical device to be cleaned. Move the retainer 19 upwards, then hang the handles of the opened medical devices on the two hooks of the double hook 18. Move the retainer 19 downwards to fix the handles. Then close the cabinet door, turn on the motor, and the motor drives the inner brush rod 2 to rotate. The inner brush bristles clean the inside of the medical device. As the inner brush rod 2 rotates, it drives the annular slider 6 to slide within the annular slide rail 5. The outer brush strip 10 cleans the outside of the medical device. Open the first solenoid valve 23 and the first water pump 11, and close the second solenoid valve 23. The second solenoid valve 24 and the second water pump 22 first clean the medical device with a cleaning agent.
