The utility model relates to a small water surface garbage cleaner. It includes a catamaran, a garbage storage box, a garbage collection device, a wireless video transmission module, an infrared obstacle avoidance module, a first motor, a second motor, a propeller, a controller, a garbage drainage filter plate, a solar panel, and a storage battery; the present invention Effect: Through video transmission, the garbage separation situation on the water surface in the distance is presented to the staff, making the cleaning more efficient. The infrared obstacle avoidance module can minimize the possibility of collisions during the working process of the garbage cleaner, avoiding damage to the garbage cleaner, causing unnecessary losses, and affecting the efficiency of garbage cleaning. Through the function of the brush, the remaining garbage on the garbage collection device is cleaned, falls on the garbage drainage filter plate, and finally stored in the garbage storage box, which can prevent the garbage on the garbage collection device that has not been stored in the garbage storage box from falling into the water again.
