1. A water surface cleaning apparatus comprising:
a housing comprising a front end close to a traveling direction of the water surface cleaning apparatus and a rear end far away from the traveling direction of the water surface cleaning apparatus;
a filtering unit detachably arranged in the housing, the filtering unit comprising a water inlet and at least one water outlet, the filtering unit configured to filter water entering the filtering unit via the water inlet and discharge the filtered water out of the filtering unit via the at least one water outlet;
a driving unit configured to drive the water surface cleaning apparatus to travel on a water surface;
wherein waterflow channels are symmetrically arranged on both sides along a longitudinal axis between the front end and the rear end of the housing, and the driving unit is configured to drive the water surface cleaning apparatus to travel on the water surface by driving waterflows through the waterflow channels;
wherein, a direction of a waterflow path provided by each of the waterflow channels is approximately inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis; and
wherein the waterflow channels partially surround the filter unit, and at least one part of each of the waterflow channels faces a side of the filter unit in a horizontal direction.
