That is, after receiving the designation of the weight to be cleaned from the control device, the carriage 34 starts running and is positioned and stopped when it reaches the position corresponding to the designated weight. After the carriage 34 stops at a position facing the designated weight to be cleaned, the spinning nozzle cleaning device 1 mounted on the carriage 34 is moved by the forward-retracting drive means 35 in FIG. 4 and FIG. It moves along the X direction and is positioned immediately below the spinning nozzle cap of the designated weight, and thereafter, the revolving-vibrating blade means BM and the lubricant spray in the spinning nozzle cleaning device 1 by the ascending-descending drive means 36. The means OM is brought into contact with the nozzle base surface 3a of the spinning nozzle base 3, and the nozzle base surface 3a is cleaned while spraying silicon oil on the nozzle base surface 3a.

In the conventional spinning nozzle cleaning device described above, according to self-propelled control means 32 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 in Patent Document 1, a cart traveling facility including an incidental rail 33 is provided for the spinning machine SM. The spinning nozzle cleaning device is optionally and quickly provided for a point that must be laid, a relatively wide laying area for laying such as a rail, and a weight that requires cleaning. There are some problems, such as the inability to do this, the construction and operation of the travel control means are complicated, and the work becomes complicated.

The angle formed between the surface 3a and the blade surface of the blade 4 can be inclined to ± θ.

That is, when the blade 4 is turned in the forward rotation direction α1 (rightward in the drawing), the tip of the blade 4 is in contact with the base surface 3a, and therefore the friction between the blade 4 and the base surface 3a. The force causes the blade 4 to tilt in the direction β1 (counterclockwise in the figure) opposite to the traveling direction about the blade tilt axis 44. This inclination is regulated by a stopper 45 provided in the casing member 43 by the blade support member 37 to a pre-designed angle θ (at least smaller than 90 °, according to a preferred embodiment, about 88 °). Is done. As shown in FIG. 5C, when the blade 4 is turned in the reverse rotation direction α2 (left direction in the figure), the blade 4 is moved in the reverse direction β2 (clockwise direction in the figure) as described above. It is designed to tilt. Thus, by tilting the blade 4 during the turning of the blade 4, it is possible to suppress the generation of vibrations, ensure a smooth turning, and prevent the base surface 3a from being damaged.
