在用于清洁纺纱转子用于自由端纺纱的清洁装置（15），以打开的转子壳体中的过程（13）被设置，并用于产生至少一个旋转空气射流基本上作用于转子的纤维捕集槽。 产生所述转子的空气射流之前（11）被关闭和清洁装置（15）安装到转子壳体（13）被设置，即喷气流产生吹砂头（18）和所述转子的自由边缘（34）（的端面之间 11）形成一圆形间隙（35）。 在吸入过程是通过所述间隙（35）的第一空气通过穿过转子（11）的内部的转子壳体开口（14）吸入。 然后，吹砂头（18）被浸入到所述转子（11）的内部，并开始旋转，从而形成旋转的空气射流。 吸入期间清洗工序中维持。 本申请还涉及一种用于实施该方法的装置。

In a method of cleaning spinning rotors for open-end spinning a cleaning device (15) on the opened rotor housing (13) is set and used to generate at least one rotating air stream which acts on the fiber collecting groove of the rotor substantially. Before generating the air jet of the rotor (11) is shut down and the cleaning device (15) onto the rotor housing (13) is set, that between the end face of a jet-stream generating blow head (18) and the free edge (34) of the rotor ( 11) forming a circular gap (35). During the sucking process, air is first sucked through the gap (35) from the rotor housing opening (14) through the interior of the rotor (11). Then, the blow head (18) is immersed into the interior of the rotor (11) and set in rotation, so as to form the rotating air jet. The suction is maintained during this cleaning step. The application also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
