Air-jet spinning device for manufacturing an air-spun thread from a supplied sliver, comprising - a thread-forming unit , which has a thread-forming element which is arranged in a vortex chamber of a nozzle unit , and - the nozzle unit , which has at least one air nozzle oriented toward the vortex chamber in such a way that an air flow emerging from the air nozzle applies a rotational flow to the sliver , which can be or is fed into the vortex chamber , wherein the thread-forming unit being movable relative to the nozzle unit between a closed operating position, in which the thread-forming unit is in a position relative to the nozzle unit in which the thread-forming element is arranged within the vortex chamber of the nozzle unit , and an open cleaning position of the air-jet spinning device , in which the thread-forming element is guided out of the vortex chamber and is disengaged from the nozzle unit and the interior of the air-jet spinning device is accessible for cleaning, is mounted on a guide element having a guide section such that it can be displaced linearly with respect to the nozzle unit , characterized in that the air-jet spinning device is designed such that, following the opening movement of the thread-forming unit , it can be displaced linearly and/or pivoted in the opened cleaning position with the thread-forming unit and the nozzle unit , in that a drafting system for supplying the sliver is assigned to the air-jet spinning device and the air-jet spinning device is mounted on the drafting system such that it can be displaced and/or pivoted relative to the drafting system in the open cleaning position. - a thread-forming unit , which has a thread-forming element which is arranged in a vortex chamber of a nozzle unit , and - the nozzle unit , which has at least one air nozzle oriented toward the vortex chamber in such a way that an air flow emerging from the air nozzle applies a rotational flow to the sliver , which can be or is fed into the vortex chamber , wherein the thread-forming unit being movable relative to the nozzle unit between a closed operating position, in which the thread-forming unit is in a position relative to the nozzle unit in which the thread-forming element is arranged within the vortex chamber of the nozzle unit , and an open cleaning position of the air-jet spinning device , in which the thread-forming element is guided out of the vortex chamber and is disengaged from the nozzle unit and the interior of the air-jet spinning device is accessible for cleaning, is mounted on a guide element having a guide section such that it can be displaced linearly with respect to the nozzle unit , characterized in that the air-jet spinning device is designed such that, following the opening movement of the thread-forming unit , it can be displaced linearly and/or pivoted in the opened cleaning position with the thread-forming unit and the nozzle unit , in that a drafting system for supplying the sliver is assigned to the air-jet spinning device and the air-jet spinning device is mounted on the drafting system such that it can be displaced and/or pivoted relative to the drafting system in the open cleaning position. <EOS>
