In some embodiments, the straw cleaning element 330 may also include a straw cleaning brush for rotating and brushing the inner walls of the straw. In some embodiments, the straw cleaning member 330 may not have the straw cleaning brush body because the inner diameter of the straw is smaller, and the straw cleaning member 330 cleans the inner wall of the straw by means of the water flow sprayed from the first guide rod 301. In some embodiments, different inner cleaning members may be provided with different shapes and/or outer diameters of the first cleaning brush body 302. For example, the baby bottle washing member 310 may be provided with a cylindrical brush body matching the inner diameter of the bottle body. As another example, the nipple cleaning element 320 may be provided with a brush body that is tapered to match the inside diameter of the nipple (e.g., to match the shape of the internal space of the nipple).

In some embodiments, the first cleaning brush body 302 may be a brush or a sponge brush. In some embodiments, different materials of the first cleaning brush body 302 may be adapted to target cleaning objects of different materials. For example, when the target cleaning object is made of glass, the first cleaning brush body 302 is suitably a sponge brush; when the target cleaning object is made of plastic, the first cleaning brush body 302 is preferably a brush. In some embodiments, the cleaning apparatus 100 may be equipped with the first cleaning brush 302 of a plurality of materials, so that the cleaning apparatus 100 can clean the target cleaning object of various materials.

In some embodiments, the external cleaning member may include a second cleaning brush body (not shown). In some embodiments, the second cleaning brush body may be used to clean the outside of the target cleaning object, and has an inner diameter of a sufficient length to be able to contact with the outside of the target cleaning object. In some embodiments, the second cleaning brush body may be made of a hard sponge. In some embodiments, the second cleaning brush body may be composed of a plurality of fan blades, and the fan blades are equally distributed around the side wall of the second guide rod 303. In some embodiments, the second cleaning brush body may also be a brush, and the shape of the brush may be set according to the external size of the target cleaning object, so that the cleaning effect of the target cleaning object is better. In some embodiments, it is preferable that the second guide rod 303 is rotatable about its axis so that the plurality of blades of the second cleaning brush body rotate to clean the outside of the target cleaning object.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a mount for a cleaning device according to some embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the cleaning assembly 30 further includes a cleaning member mount 305. In some embodiments, the wash implement mount 305 is provided with a plurality of mating ports 3051, and the mating ports 3051 can be removably coupled to the first ends of the first and/or second guide rods 301, 303. In some embodiments, the detachable connection may include a threaded connection, a snap connection, or the like. In some embodiments, after the adaptor port 3051 is coupled to the first end of the first guide rod 301 and/or the second guide rod 303, water may flow into the first guide rod 301 and the second guide rod 303 from the adaptor port 3051.

In some embodiments, the number of the inner cleaning members is at least two, and the number of the outer cleaning members is at least one. In some embodiments, the inner cleaning element is spaced apart from the outer cleaning element in sequence on the mounting block 305. For example, the installation order of the cleaning assemblies 30 from right to left may be: feeding bottle cleaning part 310 (inner cleaning part), second guide rod 303 (outer cleaning part), nipple cleaning part 320 (inner cleaning part), second guide rod 303 (outer cleaning part), and straw cleaning part 330 (inner cleaning part). In this embodiment, each second guide rod 303 can simultaneously clean the outer regions of two target cleaning objects, and thus, fewer parts are required to complete the cleaning of all the target cleaning objects.

In some embodiments, the mating port 3051 of the mount further comprises a valve member (not shown) capable of closing the mating port, the valve member being operable to move between two positions. In some embodiments, when the valve member is in the first position, the adaptor port 3051 is in a closed state, and water cannot flow through the adaptor port 3051 to the first guide rod 301 and/or the second guide rod 303; when the valve member is in the second position, the adaptor port 3051 is in an open state, and water can flow to the first guide rod 301 and/or the second guide rod 303 through the adaptor port 3051. In this embodiment, the valve of each docking port 3051 can independently control the opening and closing of the docking port, so that different docking ports 3051 can be in different open or closed states. When one or more matching interfaces are not used or the first guide rod 301 or the second guide rod 303 are not installed, the matching interfaces can be closed through the valve member; and other matching ports needing to be used or provided with the first flow guide rod 301 or the second flow guide rod 303 can be in an open state, so that water sources can be fully utilized, and waste is prevented.

In some embodiments, the mating port 3051 of the mount may not include a valve member. In some embodiments, the second drive assembly 60 may control the water tank 40 to communicate with or close off the water flow guide tube 70. For example, when the second driving assembly 60 is turned on, the water tank 40 is communicated with the water flow guide tube 70, and water flows from the water tank 40 into the water flow guide tube 70 and further into the washing assembly 30; when the second driving assembly 60 is turned off, the water tank 40 is not communicated with the water flow guide tube 70, and no water flows into the washing assembly 30.
