(54) Yarn winding device and automatic winder comprising yarn winding device


(57) The invention relates to a winding unit (10) that includes an accumulator (61) which enables that a yarn (20) can be accumulated before it is wound into a package (30), and can be drawn out to a yarn supplying bobbin (21) side under the control of a unit control section (50). When a clearer (15) detects a yarn defect, the unit control section (50) draws out a portion of the yarn containing the yarn defect from the accumulator (61) to the yarn supplying bobbin (21) side. The drawn-out yarn (20) is caught and guided to a splicer device (14) by an upper yarn guide pipe (26). Furthermore, a lower yarn caught by a lower yarn guide pipe (25) is guided to the splicer device (14) for a yarn splicing operation.
