The invention discloses a lifting and turning-over mechanism of a cleaning vehicle garbage bin, which is fixed on the frame of the cleaning vehicle, and includes a lifting arm, a turning-over seat, a connecting rod, a lifting oil cylinder, a garbage bin and a turning-over oil cylinder, wherein the lifting arm, the turning-over seat, the connecting rod and the frame are hinged to form a plane four-connecting rod mechanism; one end of the cylinder barrel of the lifting oil cylinder is hinged onto the frame, and one end of the piston rod is hinged onto the lifting arm, so as to drive the plane four-connecting rod mechanism to be lifted or lowered; and the turning-over seat, the garbage bin and the turning-over oil cylinder are hinged to form a swinging block mechanism, and the turning-over oil cylinder drives the swinging block to enable the garbage bin to turn over. As lifting and turning-over are performed through two mechanisms respectively, by adopting the control system to realize lifting and turning-over sequentially, not only the garbage scattering during the dumping is avoided, but also the independently-controlled turning-over mechanism enables the turning-over angle to be sufficiently large, so as to dump more completely and cleanly. The invention also discloses a control method of the lifting and turning-over mechanism.
