Abstract
An equipment of manufacturing a bundle of electrospun yarn has a vortex containing device and a bundles collecting device. The vortex containing device has a feeding end, an exporting end and a vortex generator. The vortex generator is mounted in and communicates with the vortex containing device to form a fluid vortex in the vortex containing device to provide a guiding force. The guiding force draws an electrospun fiber into the feeding end of the vortex containing device. The electrospun fiber is wound to form a bundle of electrospun yarn by the fluid vortex. The bundles collecting device is rotated to collect the bundle of electrospun yarn.
