A vacuum cleaner has an agitator assembly, a belt drive system coupling the agitator assembly to a motor via a belt, and a belt shifting assembly which selectively shifts the belt between a drive pulley and an idler pulley on the agitator assembly. Trace rotational force transmitted to the agitator assembly when the belt is on the idler pulley is prevented from causing the agitator assembly to rotate by an anti-rotation member of the belt shifting assembly.

The cleaning control method for a cleaning robot includes: the base station performs a round of cleaning on a cleaning component of the cleaning robot according to a set cleaning strategy; the base station detects a dirtiness of the sewage after cleaning after completing a round of cleaning, to obtain a detection result; and the base station performs a next round of cleaning control on the cleaning robot according to the detection result.
