Abstract: In one embodiment, an electrospinning head has a nozzle unit and a control body. The nozzle unit is arranged opposite to a base material, is applied with a voltage, and thereby is capable of discharging a raw material liquid of fiber. The control body is arranged in the vicinity of the nozzle unit so as to extend to an outside of a spinning space between the base material and the nozzle unit. Further, the control body is applied with a voltage of the same polarity as the voltage to be applied to the nozzle unit, and thereby is capable of making an electric field to be generated at the periphery of the nozzle unit.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a fiber manufacturing apparatus has a discharge head which discharges a raw material liquid in which a polymer is dissolved in a solvent toward a collector, and a power source which generates a potential difference between the discharge head and the collector. The fiber manufacturing apparatus further has a recovery device, a cleaning device, and a moving device. The recovery device recovers the raw material liquid to be discharged by the discharge head. The cleaning device cleans the discharge head. The moving device moves the discharge head to any position out of a spinning position where the discharge head and the collector are opposite to each other, a recovery position where the discharge head and the recovery device are opposite to each other, and a cleaning position where the discharge head and the cleaning device are opposite to each other.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a cleaning device cleans a nozzle provided on a nozzle head of an electrospinning apparatus. The device includes a storage part and a cleaning part.
