Workstation of a Rotor Spinning Machine Comprising a Cleaning Unit and Method for Operating Such a Device

Abstract

The invention relates to a workstation of a rotor spinning machine including a spinning rotor (3) mounted so as to be rotatable about a rotational axis (X), wherein the workstation comprises a cleaning unit (1) including a mechanical cleaning element (2) for cleaning an inner surface (21) of the spinning rotor (3). According to the invention, it is provided that the cleaning element (2) is movably arranged on the workstation in such a way that, starting from a neutral position in which the cleaning element (2) is not in contact with the spinning rotor (3), the cleaning element (2) can be moved into various cleaning positions for various inner diameters of the spinning rotor (3), wherein the cleaning element (2), in the particular cleaning position, is in contact with the inner surface of the spinning rotor (3).
