The invention discloses a cleaning device convenient for collecting water surface waste, including floating plates, a water tank, tailboards and poking strips, the floating plates are internally provided with brushless motors, vertical shafts are arranged under the brushless motors, first leaf plates are installed on each sleeve rod, the first leaf plates are connected with the vertical shafts through the sleeve rods separately, first bevel gears are positioned inside the tailboards, mounting grooves inside which the poking strips are positioned are formed in the tailboards, the poking stripsare positioned outside sleeves, openings are formed in the tailboards, and the tailboards are externally provided with hooks. According to the cleaning device convenient for collecting water surface waste, driving devices composed of the brushless motors, the vertical shafts, the sleeve rods and the first leaf plates separately can not only drive the cleaning device to move, but also poke the water from the outside of the cleaning device into the water tank, thereby facilitating the water to be discharged to the rear of the cleaning device to form pushing force, and simultaneously facilitatingthe collection and poking of the water surface waste.
