[0044] The method for using the device of the present application is as follows:

[0045] The PCB plate 4 and the right PCB plate 7 are connected with an external power source through wires via the guide hole 14. Under the condition of power-on, the coils on the PCB plate 4 and the right PCB plate 7 will form corresponding magnetic poles, and a constant magnetic field will be formed between the PCB plate 4 and the right PCB plate 7 through the corresponding magnetic pole distribution. The rotor 6 rotates in the magnetic field to form a constant hysteresis torque, which is transmitted to the wire clamping wheel 8 through the mandrel 9 to form a corresponding size of tension. By changing the relative angle of the rotating PCB plate 4 and the right PCB plate 7, the magnetic bias angle between the coils can be changed, different magnetic field distributions and hysteresis torques are generated, and thus different ranges of tension control are obtained.

[0046] The size of the tension can also be controlled by changing the size of the power current. The greater the current, the greater the tension ultimately generated. The size of the tension can also be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the gasket 12, such as the distance between the PCB plate 4 and the right PCB plate 7 and the rotor 6. The closer the distance, the greater the final tension. The size of the tension can also be controlled by changing the thickness of the rotor 6. Within a certain range, the thicker the rotor 6, the greater the tension.

[0047] The relative parameters of the rotor 6, the PCB plate 4 and the right PCB plate 7 can obtain a relatively stable hysteresis torque to provide stable tension for the yarn. Not only does it solve the problem of low tension control precision and discontinuous control range of traditional tensioners, but it also effectively reduces the volume, weight and cost of traditional tensioners. At the same time, it is compatible with automation and computer control, and meets the future requirements of the textile industry for precise control of yarn tension.
