Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a cleaning robot and a roller cleaning device thereof. The cleaning robot comprises a shell and a roller cleaning device. The roller cleaning device comprises a flexible roller, a roller motor for driving the flexible roller to rotate, a water sink close to and in communication with a surface of the flexible roller, a water tank, and a sewage pressing member. The water tank comprises a filter member. One end of the water sink is in communication with the water tank through a sewage pipe at a position above the filter member, and the other end of the water sink is in communication with a clean water pipe at a position below the filter member. The water tank is connected to a vacuum pump, and the sewage pressing member squeezes the sewage in the flexible roller into the water tank when the flexible roller rotates.
