The bottom groove 14 is provided through both ends of the base 2 and the water tank 1. A water supply pipe 15 is provided at the upper left side of the water tank 1, and a sewage pipe 16 is provided at the lower left side of the water tank 1. A cleaning mechanism is provided inside the lower part of the cleaning cylinder 3. The cleaning mechanism includes a centrifugal pump 11.

The sprayer 12 is connected to the water outlet of the centrifugal pump 11. The water inlet of the centrifugal pump 11 is connected to the water tank 1 through a water pumping pipe 13.

[0025] In this embodiment, the device uses a centrifugal pump 11 to draw water from the water tank 1 and a sprayer 12 to clean the lens. Spray cleaning allows water to impact the lens surface at a certain pressure and angle, effectively removing dirt, suspended matter, and other contaminants. Compared to traditional wiping or soaking methods, spray cleaning cleans the lens more thoroughly, effectively removing stubborn dirt and tightly adhered suspended matter, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the sensor lens and improving the accuracy of the sensor in detecting turbidity and suspended matter concentration.

[0029] Working principle: when cleaning the sensor lens, the lens is abutted against the lower end face of the suction plate 9, and the suction pump 7 is started, the suction pump 7 is vacuum-sucked to the lens, then the electric push rod 5 is started, the electric push rod 5 drives the top frame 6 to descend, the top frame 6 drives the lens to move to the inside middle part of the cleaning cylinder 3, then the centrifugal pump 11 is started, the centrifugal pump 11 extracts the water in the water tank 1 and sprays the lens through the sprayer 12 for cleaning; during the cleaning, the dirt on the lens and the water enter the water tank 1 along the bottom groove 14, wherein the impurities fall on the filter plates 18 below, and the water can be recycled after falling, when it is needed to clean the dirt intercepted on the filter plates 18, the filter plates 18 are horizontally pulled out of the water tank 1, then the filter plates 18 are taken out and cleaned, and after cleaning, the filter plates 18 are put back.
