Abstract
The spinning aggregates, arranged in a row, of an open-end spinning machine are each provided with an opening device, which comprises a removal opening for trash particles. A channel extending in a longitudinal machine direction takes up the expelled trash particles. A sliding carriage traverses to and from in the channel and pushes the trash particles collected in the channel to a suction point. The sliding carriage comprises a cleaning element, which can be pressed to the side wall of the channel under the action of a transverse force.
Claims29
An open-end spinning machine comprising a plurality of adjacently arranged spinning aggregates, each of which comprises an opening device having a trash removal opening, under which a channel for taking up expelled trash particles extends in a machine longitudinal direction, in which channel a sliding carriage traverses to and from pushing the collected trash particles in front of it to a suction point, said channel comprising a side wall which is disposed in an area of dispersion of the expelled trash particles, a lateral cleaning element of the sliding carriage being disposed against said side wall,
- wherein the cleaning element is pressed by means for applying a transverse force to the side wall of the channel.
An open end spinning machine cleaning assembly operable to clean trash from a channel extending adjacent a plurality of spinning stations arranged side by side, said cleaning assembly comprising:
- a sliding carriage disposable in the channel and operable to push trash to a respective channel trash removal opening,
- a lateral cleaning element carried by the sliding carriage and operable to clean at least one lateral wall of said channel, and
- force applying means for applying lateral force to force the cleaning element against a lateral wall of said channel to clean the same.
A method of cleaning trash from a channel extending adjacent a plurality of spinning stations arranged side by side in an open end spinning machine, said method comprising:
- moving a sliding carriage in the channel to push trash to a respective channel trash removal opening,
- carrying a lateral cleaning element with the sliding carriage which is operable to clean at least one lateral wall of said channel, and
- applying lateral force to force the cleaning element against a lateral wall of said channel to clean the same.
