Cleaning Device

A cleaning device, comprising:

• a treatment container;
• a workpiece carrier arranged in the treatment container and configured to hold at least one workpiece;
• at least one nozzle configured to discharge a cleaning jet directed onto the workpiece carrier and mounted such that the at least one nozzle is moveable on a circulation track about the workpiece carrier and is pivotable about a pivoting axis extending parallel to an axis of rotation of the workpiece carrier;
• a pivoting device configured to pivot the at least one nozzle;
• and
• a controller configured to control a circulating movement of the at least one nozzle on the circulation track and a pivoting movement of the at least one nozzle, such that a specified point on a surface of the workpiece is impacted repeatedly by the cleaning jet at a respectively different angle, within a specified timeframe,
• wherein the at least one nozzle is arranged on a nozzle tube,
• wherein the pivoting device comprises a noncircular curved track and a lever assembly coupled between the noncircular curved track and the nozzle tube,
• wherein the lever assembly is configured to adjust a pivot angle of the nozzle tube as a function of a current radial distance between the nozzle tube and the noncircular curved track.
