The invention relates to an intelligent solar street lamp with automatic protection and cleaning functions. The street lamp comprises a power generation mechanism, wherein the power generation mechanism comprises a solar panel, a protection plate, a cleaning mechanism and a translation mechanism; and the translation mechanism comprises a first motor, a suspension wire, a weight block and two translation assemblies, each translation assembly comprises a first driving shaft, a driving wheel, a pull wire and a bearing, and the cleaning mechanism comprises an air inlet chamber, an air inlet pipe,an air outlet pipe, a driving assembly and a plurality of cleaning assemblies. According to the intelligent solar street lamp with the automatic protection and cleaning functions, during rainy days, the translation mechanism is utilized to drive the protection plate to move above the solar panel, so that corrosion and damage caused by the fact that acid rain falls on the surface of the solar panelto the solar panel are prevented, and then the solar panel is protected, in addition, during the moving process of the protection plate, nozzles are enabled to swing and spray out air through the cleaning mechanism, and dust on the surface of the solar panel is blown away, so that the cleaning effect is achieved, and the power generation efficiency of the solar panel and the practicability of equipment are improved.
