The invention discloses a wadding removal device for a textile machine. The device comprises a base, a movable rod and a knitting needle. The left and right ends of the upper surface of the base are each fixedly provided with a stand column. A transverse beam is installed at the upper ends of the stand columns, a reserving groove is formed inside the transverse beam, meanwhile, a connecting rod isconnected to the interior of the reserving groove through a limiting block, the periphery of the connecting rod is connected with a sliding groove through a fixing sleeve, the upper end of a movablerod is connected with the connecting rod through a fixing sleeve, a containing groove is formed inside the movable rod, meanwhile, an air pipe is installed inside the containing groove, a vent hole isformed in the front surface of the air pipe, a ventilation opening is formed in the surface of the inner side of the movable rod, a connecting column is arranged at the right end of the movable rod,and the knitting needle is installed at the lower end of a lifting rod. According to the wadding removal device for the textile machine, wadding generated during textile machine working, the vibrationeffect generated by the device can be reduced, and noise of the device is lowered.
