Finally, the scrubbing rod can penetrate into the container while rotating. A first brush on the scrubbing rod can scrub the inner wall of the cup container and the bottom of the cup while rotating, extending and retracting. The apparatus for scrubbing the container port of the container port can be driven by the guide sleeve to rotate and scrub the container port of the cup container through a second brush at the container port groove. When the cup container is washed, a washing medium can enter the guide sleeve through the water inlet at the bottom of the guide sleeve, then enter the flow-passing channel inside the connecting sleeve through the flow-passing hole formed in the side part of the connecting sleeve, flow into the pipeline inside the scrubbing rod through the flow-passing channel, and finally washes the inner wall of the cup container and the bottom of the cup through the water outlet hole formed in the top side of the scrubbing rod in the rotating, extending and contracting process of the scrubbing rod, thereby washing the cup container. After washing is completed, the user stops pressing down the cup container, and in the process of recovering from the elastic deformation, the spring can drive the apparatus for scrubbing the container port of the container port to reset.

The bracket 4 in the apparatus for scrubbing the container port can be driven by the guide sleeve 5 to rotate and wash the container port of the cup container 11 through the second scrubbing piece 401a at the inserting groove 401. When the apparatus for washing the container port moves into the water-receiving groove 8, the third scrubbing piece 802 arranged on the inner wall of the water-receiving groove 8 can scrub an outer wall of the cup container 11 when the bracket rotates. When the cup container 11 is washed, a washing medium can enter the guide sleeve 5 through the water inlet 501 at the bottom of the guide sleeve 5, then enters the flow-passing channel 201 inside the connecting sleeve 2 through the flow-passing hole 202 formed in the side part of the connecting sleeve 2, flows into the pipeline inside the scrubbing rod 3 through the flow-passing channel 201, and finally washes the inner wall of the cup container 11 and the bottom of the cup through the water outlet hole 302 formed in the top side of the scrubbing rod 3 in the rotating, extending and contracting process of the scrubbing rod 3, thereby washing the cup container 11. After washing is completed, the user stops pressing down the cup container 11, and in the process of recovering from the elastic deformation, the spring 6 can drive the apparatus for scrubbing the container port of the container port to reset.
