[0002] A yarn splitter is a mechanical device commonly used in the textile industry. It is used to separate and arrange yarn or textile materials according to predetermined specifications or methods. It can separate the various types of yarn used in the textile process from multiple sources or spools and arrange them in a predetermined order or method to facilitate subsequent weaving, knitting, or other processing steps. In the spinning process, it can be used to separate yarns from different spools or drums in preparation for the spinning or weaving process. In the weaving process, it can arrange the yarns in the order of warp and weft to ensure that the structure of the fabric meets the design requirements.

In addition, due to reliance on manual adjustment and monitoring, the stability and degree of automation of the wire splitting process are low, and it cannot meet the needs of efficient and continuous production. To address the above problems, the utility model provides an automatic wire splitting device. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic structural diagram of an automatic wire splitting device provided in one embodiment of the present application. The automatic wire splitting device provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0031] a control unit; and,
