The invention provides an active pay-off system with variable thread speed and constant tension. The active pay-off system with variable thread speed and constant tension comprises a platform, a thread tray, a motor drive device, a thread pressing rod, a double-guide-wheel thread tightener, a shaft angle sensor, a guide wheel, a tension controller, a thread guiding rod and a pay-off tension control system. The motor drives the device to drive the thread tray to rotate, a silk thread is wound on the thread tray, the silk thread drawn from the thread tray passes through the thread pressing rod so as to form a wrap angle and enters the double-guide-wheel thread tightener, the silk thread is drawn from the double-guide-wheel thread tightener and then passes through the guide wheel so as to enter the tension controller, and the silk thread passing through the tension controller is drawn through the thread guiding rod. According to the active pay-off system with variable thread speed and constant tension provided by the invention, through the joint action of the motor drive device, the double-guide-wheel thread tightener and the shaft angle sensor, the closed-loop control of the pay-offspeed can be realized. Compared with a passive pay-off system characterized by fixing the thread tray on a non-driving device, active pay-off can be realized, and the control system controls the drivedevice to actively adjust the pay-off speed according to an angle value detected by the shaft angle sensor, so that the occurrence of thread breaking or silk thread loosening can be prevented.
