The invention relates to a device for covering yarn, which comprises an unwinding device, a twisting device, a drafting device and a winding device, at least one number-one rotary plate is arranged below a number-two rotary plate, the number-two rotary plate is arranged above an axis line in the number-one rotary plate by a driven shaft, a driving shaft is arranged below the axis line in the number-one rotary plate, the number-one rotary plate is internally provided with an intermediate shaft and a balancing shaft which are parallel to the driving shaft respectively at the two sides of a shaft driving the number-two rotary plate, a tangential belt drives the driving shaft which is provided with a driving belt wheel, the driving belt wheel transmits a first intermediate belt wheel below the intermediate shaft by the belt wheel, a second intermediate belt wheel above the intermediate shaft drives the driven shaft, the driven shaft drives the number-two rotary plate to rotate, and the driving shaft drives the number-one rotary plate to rotate. The device utilizes the transmission ratio of the belt wheel to enhance the shaft rotational speed, has simple structure, is improved based on the original mechanical yarn covering machine, enhances the production efficiency, adopts the shape of a single cone in packaging outer yarn, reduces the original winding procedure and reduces the production cost.
