Abstract
A cleaning device for cleaning a rotor disk of a spinning rotor has a cleaning head with at least one cleaning element, and a receptacle on which the cleaning head is mounted and which can be fed to the spinning rotor for cleaning the rotor disk. The cleaning head includes at least one bearing area by means of which the cleaning head is mounted on the receptacle. A longitudinal direction of the bearing area defines an axial direction of the cleaning head. The cleaning head is mounted in the axial direction in a floating manner on the receptacle, and/or the cleaning element is mounted in the axial direction in a floating manner on the cleaning head.
Claims11
A cleaning device for cleaning a rotor disk of a spinning rotor, comprising:
- a receptacle mounted to a feed unit configured for positioning the receptacle relative to the spinning rotor in an axial direction;
- a cleaning head comprising at least one bearing area on a proximal end slidingly mounted in the axial direction in a floating manner inside the receptacle, the cleaning head comprising a distal end with at least one pivotably mounted cleaning element for cleaning the spinning rotor;
- an actuator in the cleaning head configured to angularly position the at least one pivotably mounted cleaning element;
- and
- wherein during operation the receptacle is axially positioned by the feed unit relative to the spinning rotor, the actuator actuates the at least one pivotably mounted cleaning element to angularly position for engagement with the rotor disk of the spinning rotor, and engagement of the cleaning element with the rotor disk axially moves the cleaning head relative to the receptacle in the floating manner along the at least one bearing area.
