[0028] See also Figures 1 to 5 The toilet cleaning device in the embodiment of the utility model includes an operating component 10, which includes a housing 110 and a cleaning mechanism 120. The top of the housing 110 is rotatably connected to an infrared camera 130. Specifically, a bearing block 40 is arranged on the top of the housing 110. The side of the bearing block 40 facing away from the housing 110 is rotatably connected to a rotating seat 50. The side of the rotating seat 50 facing away from the bearing block 40 is connected to the infrared camera 130. The infrared camera 130 is driven to rotate by the rotating seat 50, so that the infrared camera 130 can observe the public toilet 360°. That is, the number of people and the environment in the public toilet can be obtained in real time through the infrared camera 130 arranged on the housing 110. During the observation process, only the infrared camera 130 needs to be rotated, and the operating component 10 does not need to be rotated as a whole, which reduces the risk of collision. When the infrared camera 130 recognizes that the environment in the public toilet needs to be cleaned, it determines whether to carry out the cleaning work according to the number of people in the public toilet. If the number of people in the public toilet is less than 3 people, the cleaning work is carried out. Whether cleaning is needed is automatically determined by the infrared camera 130 based on the shooting situation, thereby realizing intelligent regulation of the time for cleaning work and ensuring that the public toilet environment is kept clean.

[0029] The outer wall of the housing 110 is connected to a plurality of mobile mechanical arms 20. Preferably, the outer wall of the housing 110 is connected to six mobile mechanical arms 20, and the six mobile mechanical arms 20 are evenly spaced. One end of the mobile mechanical arm 20 away from the housing 110 is connected to a suction cup 30, and the movement function of the operating component 10 can be realized through the mobile mechanical arm 20 and the suction cup 30. The mobile mechanical arm 20 includes a fixed arm 210 and a movable arm 220. The outer wall of the shell 110 is connected to the fixed arm 210.
