Abstract

A sewage collection and detection mechanism ( 10 ) and a cleaning device ( 100 ) are disclosed. The sewage collection and detection mechanism ( 10 ) comprises: a recovery tank ( 11 ), having an open top and having a tank central axis perpendicular to a horizontal plane. A sewage inlet pipe ( 12 ) is connected to the recovery tank ( 11 ) and a water level detector ( 13 ) is located in the recovery tank ( 11 ). The water level detector ( 13 ) has a detection probe ( 131 ). The detection probe ( 131 ) is located on the tank central axis of the recovery tank ( 11 ).
