The cleaning device 100 also includes a first rotating member 9, a second rotating member 10, and a plurality of cleaning members 20. The first rotating member 9 is axially rotatable in the vertical direction and is installed below the placement area. The upper end of the rotating member extends circumferentially to form an abutment portion, which is used to abut against the lens portion. The cleaning members 20 are disposed on the upper side of the abutment portion and are used to absorb liquid from the lens. The wiping action is achieved by the rotation of the first rotating member 9. The second rotating member 10 extends vertically and is disposed on one side of the placement area 121, and revolves around the placement area 121 along the vertical axis. A plurality of cleaning members 20 are disposed around the second rotating member 10. The circumference of the second rotating member 10 is used to abut against the circumference of the guide tube. When the second rotating member 10 revolves around the placement interval 121, the cleaning member 20 can adsorb and wipe the circumference of the guide tube.
