BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a traveling type cleaning device such as a blow cleaner and a traveling cleaner laid on a spinning machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Suction nozzles of traveling type cleaning devices such as blow cleaners and traveling cleaners installed on spinning machines are
Conventionally, the vehicle is run in a state of being simply hung from the suction pipe, and its running locus is a straight line, and cleaning is performed by reciprocating repeatedly at the same position, so the cleaning portion is limited.

In addition, a blow nozzle is installed at the same time, and the fly dust blown by the blow nozzle on the opposite side rolls under the machine base, and is blown to the opposite side while the cotton dust grows like a snowball on the floor. At this time, if the suction nozzle is just running, it is sucked and cleaned, but most of it is off the course, and the suction nozzle passes by the side of the cotton lump. These cotton lumps move back and forth near the machine base. Therefore, conventionally, these cotton dusts have been manually cleaned on a regular basis.

In order to improve the above points, a method of rotating the suction nozzle at the lower end of the suction pipe is actually fair.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above-mentioned proposed method, by rotating the suction nozzle at the lower end of the suction pipe, as compared with the one in which the suction nozzle is simply attached to the lower end of the suction pipe, Although there is an advantage that the cleaning range is expanded to about twice the radius of gyration, it is not rational because of the following useless operation.

That is, while the tip of the suction nozzle is directed forward in the traveling direction, it has an action of absorbing cotton dust for half a rotation, but the tip of the suction nozzle is directed rearward in the traveling direction for the remaining half rotation. During this period, the suction action is reduced due to traveling, and since it has already been cleaned,
It is a useless operation.

Also from a structural point of view, it is necessary to attach the rotational driving means to a member having high rigidity such as a casing at the upper end of the suction pipe, and therefore a long rotating shaft is required and the torsional rigidity of the shaft is required. A thick shaft had to be used to maintain it, resulting in increased weight and greater power requirements.

In the above proposal, instead of using a dedicated motor as the rotation driving means for the suction nozzle, a roller is directly fixed to the upper end of the rotary shaft, and the roller is brought into contact with the rail to run. It is also disclosed to rotate the roller to rotate the suction nozzle.

The present invention makes use of the advantages of the above-mentioned proposal, and once again the irrational point, no special power is required, there is no unnecessary operation, it is rational, and it can be easily attached to an existing cleaning device, and it is low cost. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a traveling type cleaning device for a spinning machine, which can expand the cleaning range of the suction nozzle and reduce manual cleaning work.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is hung vertically from a traveling body movably mounted along a rail above a machine base via a suction pipe and a blow pipe. In a traveling type cleaning device for a spinning machine, which is designed to clean the machine base by the suction nozzle and the blow nozzle, a crank installed on one side of the upper end of the suction pipe so as to be eccentrically rotatable about a horizontal axis and an upper end of this crank. A rod for connecting the lower end of the suction pipe to the flexible pipe portion on one side of the upper part of the suction pipe for swinging the suction nozzle at the lower end of the suction pipe in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the traveling body, and the traveling body for one end. Connected to the traveling wheel axle of
The other end is provided with a rotation transmission shaft connected to the input shaft of the crank.

[0011]

The suction wheel at the lower end of the suction pipe is operated by using the traveling wheels of the traveling main body to take out the rotational force from the traveling wheel and vertically operating one side above the suction pipe from the rotation transmission shaft through the crank and the rod. Can be greatly swung in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the traveling body, and traveling can be performed while sucking dust and cotton dust over a wide range. Therefore, manual cleaning work can be reduced. The swing pattern of the lower end of the suction pipe with respect to the floor is
This can be changed by changing the upper drive position.
