The base 10 is a flat structure having a certain height, and is adsorbed on and moved along the surface of the vehicle body during the course of washing the vehicle. The front end of the base 10 is designed to be a smooth arc, so that the air resistance can be reduced in the moving process of the car washing robot, and the moving process of the car washing robot is smoother.

Referring to fig. 5, the suction fan 20 is disposed on the base 10 and parallel to the base 10. The adsorption fan 20 blows air towards the upper side of the base 10, and pressure difference is formed on the upper side and the lower side of the base 10, so that the car washing robot can be adsorbed on the surface of a car body, and the car washing robot is prevented from falling off. It can be understood that the bottom of the base 10 is provided with an adsorption opening 13 directly below the adsorption fan 20, and the adsorption fan 20 penetrates the base 10 in the height direction, so as to facilitate the air flow on the upper and lower sides of the base 10.

The propulsion fan 30 is provided on the base 10 and is rotatable with respect to a movement plane of the car washing robot. In the closed state of the car washing robot, the propulsion fan 30 is parallel to the base 10. When the car washing robot moves, the propulsion fan 30 rotates and makes an angle with the base 10. The propulsion fan 30 blows air toward the rear of the base 10, and creates a pressure difference between the front and rear sides of the base 10, thereby moving the car-washing robot forward.

The propulsion fan 30 includes a rotation shaft 31 provided on the base 10, the rotation shaft 31 being parallel to the base 10 and perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the car washing robot, and the propulsion fan 30 being rotated around the rotation shaft 31.
