[0055] The term "and / or" is a description of the association between objects, which means that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or, A and B, the three relationships.

[0056] It should be noted that the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0057] In combination Figures 1-7 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide an elastic turning plate mechanism of an automatic folding machine, which comprises a folding channel, a turning plate assembly and a transmission assembly. The turning plate assembly comprises two folding turning plates 100 located on both sides of the folding channel, and each folding turning plate 100 can be turned over to the inner side and the outer side of the folding channel; the transmission assembly comprises a transmission part, and the transmission part is connected to the two folding turning plates 100 to make the two folding turning plates 100 turn over synchronously.

[0058] The automated clothes folding machine with elastic flap mechanism provided in this embodiment has a folding flap 100 on each side of the folding channel. The two folding flaps 100 are connected by a transmission unit, which enables them to flip synchronously. When the folding flaps 100 flip inwards towards the folding channel, they fold the clothes inside the channel. In this way, the two folding flaps 100 are mechanically connected by the transmission unit and can flip synchronously, eliminating the need for multiple electric telescopic rods to flip each flap 100 separately, thus reducing electrical malfunctions to some extent.

[0059] In some embodiments, the folding channel includes a channel plate, which is constructed as a rectangular plate. The length direction of the channel plate is parallel to the transmission direction of the folding channel. One end of the channel plate in the length direction is the input end of the clothing, and the other end is the output end of the clothing. The clothing is placed on the channel plate from the input end and removed from the output end after folding. A folding flap 100 is provided on each side of the channel plate. The folding flap 100 is constructed as a rectangular plate, and the length directions of the folding flap 100 and the channel plate are parallel.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the flap assembly includes a pivot 130 and a rotating arm 140. Two pivots 130 are respectively positioned on either side of the folding channel; two rotating arms 140 are also positioned on either side of the folding channel. One end of each rotating arm 140 is connected to a folding flap 100 located on the same side of the folding channel, and the other end is connected to a pivot 130 located on the same side of the folding channel. The pivots 130 drive the folding flap 100 to flip via the rotating arms 140. Thus, when the rotating arms 140 on both sides of the folding channel simultaneously drive the folding flap 100 to flip inwards towards the folding channel, clothing can be folded.

[0061] Furthermore, the cross-section of one end of the rotating shaft 130 is constructed in a stepped shape. The outermost part of the end of the rotating shaft 130 is the first step, which has a fixing thread. The second step adjacent to the fixing thread is constructed as a positioning block, and the third step adjacent to the positioning block is the body of the rotating shaft 130. The end of the rotating arm 140 connected to the rotating shaft 130 is the first end, and the end of the rotating arm 140 connected to the folding flap 100 is the second end. The first end of the rotating arm 140 has a rotating shaft mounting hole. The shape and size of the rotating shaft mounting hole and the positioning block are adapted to each other. The rotating arm 140 is fitted onto the positioning block through the rotating shaft mounting hole, and then a nut adapted to the fixing thread is screwed into the mounting hole of the rotating arm 140 to fix the rotating arm 140 to the rotating shaft 130.

[0062] Further, the plurality of rotating arms 140 are arranged along the axial direction of the same rotating shaft 130, and the rotating arms 140 arranged on the same rotating shaft 130 are connected by one or more synchronous rods 141. In this way, the folding flap 100 is connected to the same rotating shaft 130 by the plurality of rotating arms 140, and the rotating shaft 130 can more stably drive the folding flap 100 to rotate when the rotating shaft 130 rotates. Moreover, the plurality of rotating arms 140 are connected by one or more synchronous rods 141, which not only improves the connection strength between the rotating arms 140, but also ensures that the plurality of rotating arms 140 rotate synchronously.

[0063] For example, the first ends of the two rotating arms 140 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rotating shaft 130, the second ends of the two rotating arms 140 are respectively connected to the folding flap 100, and two parallel synchronous rods 141 are arranged between the two rotating arms 140, and the two ends of the two synchronous rods 141 are respectively fixedly connected to the two rotating arms 140.

[0064] For another example, the three rotating arms 140 are respectively connected to the two ends and the middle of the rotating shaft 130, the second ends of the three rotating arms 140 are respectively connected to the folding flap 100, and one synchronous rod 141 is arranged between the three rotating arms 140, the synchronous rod 141 is arranged in the rotating arm 140 located in the middle of the rotating shaft 130, and the two ends of the synchronous rod 141 are fixedly connected to the two rotating arms 140 located at the two ends of the rotating shaft 130.

[0065] Further, the folding flap 100 is connected to the rotating arm 140 by a mounting plate. The folding flap 100 is configured as a rectangular plate, the length direction of the folding flap 100 is parallel to the length direction of the channel plate, and the edge of the plate surface of the folding flap 100 in the length direction is vertically bent to form a mounting fold edge. The mounting plate is arranged between the two rotating arms 140, and the two ends of the mounting plate are respectively connected to the two rotating arms 140. The mounting fold edge can be fixed to the mounting plate by a screw, so that the folding flap 100 is connected to the rotating arm 140.

[0066] In some embodiments, the flap assembly further comprises an extension assembly, which can extend the length of the folding flap 100, or which can extend the width of the folding flap 100, or which can extend both the length and the width of the folding flap 100. In this way, when the clothes are too long in length, or the sleeves are too long, or both the length and the sleeves are too long, the folding flap 100 can still fold the clothes by the extension assembly.

[0067] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the folding flap 100 is arranged on the channel plate 200, and the channel plate 200 is arranged on the rotating shaft 130. The rotating shaft 130 is arranged on the rotating shaft support 300, and the rotating shaft support 300 is arranged on the rotating shaft support base 400. Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, two slots 101 are formed on the surface of the folding flap 100 along the longitudinal and / or transverse direction of the folding channel. The extension assembly includes an extension plate 120 and a connecting block 122. The extension plate 120 has two insertion folds 121 respectively fitted into the two slots 101, and the insertion folds 121 can extend from one side of the folding flap 100 to the other side through the slots 101. The connecting block 122 is connected to the portions of the two insertion folds 121 that extend to the other side of the folding flap 100. In this way, the extension plate 120 can move along the slots 101 and cannot be pulled out of the slots 101.

[0068] Further, the extension plate 120 is configured as a rectangular plate, and the two sides of one end of the extension plate 120 are respectively vertically bent to form the insertion folds 121. The folding flap 100 is configured as a rectangular plate, and when the folding flap 100 is flipped to the inside of the folding channel, the surface facing the inside of the folding channel is the first surface, and the surface facing the outside of the folding channel is the second surface. The two insertion folds 121 extend from the first surface to the second surface of the folding flap 100 through the slots 101, and the surface of the extension plate 120 abuts against the first surface. The connecting block 122 is configured as a cuboid structure, and the sides of the two ends of the connecting block 122 are connected to the opposite surfaces of the two insertion folds 121. The connecting block 122 has a moving space with the folding flap 100, so that the extension plate 120 can move in the slots 101 through the insertion folds 121 and cannot be pulled out of the slots 101.

[0069] For example, two slots 101 are formed on the two ends of the folding flap 100 along the length direction of the folding flap 100. When the length of the clothes is too long, the extension plate 120 can be moved to the outside of the folding flap 100 along the slots 101. The extension plate 120 can extend the length of the folding flap 100, and the extension plate 120 can be flipped synchronously with the folding flap 100, so that the extension plate 120 can fold the clothes that exceed the length of the original folding flap 100.

[0070] For another example, two slots 101 are formed on the middle part of the folding flap 100 along the width direction of the folding flap 100. When the length of the sleeves of the clothes is too long, the sleeves of the clothes can have already extended out of the two folding flaps 100 located on the two sides of the folding channel. In this case, the folding effect of the two folding flaps 100 on the two sides is not good. Therefore, the extension plate 120 can be moved to the outside of the folding flap 100 along the slots 101. The extension plate 120 can extend the width of the folding flap 100, and the extension plate 120 can be flipped synchronously with the folding flap 100, so that the extension plate 120 can fold the clothes that exceed the width of the original folding flap 100.

[0071] In another example, two through-slots 101 are formed in the two ends of the folding flap 100 along the length direction of the folding flap 100, and two through-slots 101 are formed in the middle of the folding flap 100 along the width direction of the folding flap 100. An extension plate 120 is arranged in each of the through-slots 101 in the two ends and the middle of the folding flap 100, so as to extend the length and the width of the folding flap 100 respectively.

[0072] Further, the extension assembly further comprises an extension motor and a screw rod assembly. The screw rod assembly comprises a screw rod connected to the extension motor and a rotating nut matched with the screw rod. The extension motor is fixed on the second plate surface of the folding flap 100, and the output shaft of the extension motor is connected to the screw rod. The axial direction of the screw rod is parallel to the extension direction of the through-slot 101. The rotating nut is fixedly connected to the connecting block 122. When the extension motor rotates, the screw rod rotates, the rotating nut moves along the axial direction of the screw rod, the rotating nut drives the connecting block 122 to move synchronously, and finally the connecting block 122 drives the extension plate 120 to move in the through-slot 101. The moving direction of the extension plate 120 is opposite when the extension motor rotates in different directions. For example, when the extension plate 120 is in the original position and all located in the plate surface of the folding flap 100, the rotating nut drives the extension plate 120 to move to the outside of the folding flap 100 through the connecting block 122 when the extension motor rotates in the forward direction. When the extension motor rotates in the reverse direction, the rotating nut drives the extension plate 120 to move to the inside of the folding flap 100 through the connecting block 122, and the extension plate 120 moves back to the original position.

[0073] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The transmission part comprises a gear transmission box 200 and a transmission rod 210. Two gear transmission boxes 200 are arranged corresponding to the two rotating shafts 130 respectively, and each gear transmission box 200 is connected to the rotating shaft 130 corresponding thereto. The gear transmission box 200 drives the rotating shaft 130 to rotate when the gear transmission box 200 rotates. The two ends of the transmission rod 210 are connected to the two gear transmission boxes 200 respectively. The transmission rod 210 drives the gear transmission boxes 200 at both ends to rotate synchronously when the transmission rod 210 rotates. Each gear transmission box 200 drives the rotating shaft 130 connected thereto to rotate synchronously when the gear transmission box 200 rotates. The rotating shaft 130 drives the rotating arm 140 connected thereto to rotate when the rotating shaft 130 rotates. The rotating arm 140 drives the folding flap 100 connected thereto to flip when the rotating arm 140 rotates.

[0074] Further, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, each rotating shaft 130 is sleeved with a first bevel gear 131, which can drive the rotating shaft 130 to rotate; the gear transmission box 200 comprises a first gear 201, a second gear 202, a connecting shaft 205 and a second bevel gear 204. The first gear 201 is sleeved on the transmission rod 210 and can rotate with the transmission rod 210; the second gear 202 is engaged with the first gear 201; one end of the connecting shaft 205 is sleeved in the second gear 202 and can rotate with the second gear 202; the second bevel gear 204 is sleeved on the other end of the connecting shaft 205 and is engaged with the first bevel gear 131; the rotating directions of the two first bevel gears 131 after being engaged with the corresponding second bevel gears 204 are opposite.

[0075] In this way, when the transmission rod 210 rotates, the first gear 201 of the gear transmission box 200 on both sides is driven to rotate, the first gear 201 drives the second gear 202 engaged therewith to rotate, the second gear 202 drives the connecting shaft 205 connected therewith to rotate synchronously, the connecting shaft 205 drives the second bevel gear 204 connected therewith to rotate, the second bevel gear 204 drives the first bevel gear 131 engaged therewith to rotate, the first bevel gear 131 drives the rotating shaft 130 connected therewith to rotate, and the rotating shaft 130 drives the rotating arm 140 connected therewith to rotate synchronously. The rotating directions of the two first bevel gears 131 after being engaged with the corresponding second bevel gears 204 are opposite, so the rotating directions of the two rotating shafts 130 are also opposite, thereby the two rotating arms 140 connected with the two rotating shafts 130 rotate in opposite directions, and the two folding flaps 100 connected with the two rotating arms 140 rotate inwards or outwards in the folding channel.

[0076] Further, the two rotating shafts 130 located on both sides of the folding channel are arranged in parallel, and the two first bevel gears 131 sleeved on the two rotating shafts 130 have the same taper direction. The side of any rotating shaft 130 close to the other rotating shaft 130 is the inner side of the rotating shaft 130, and the side of any rotating shaft 130 away from the other rotating shaft 130 is the outer side of the rotating shaft 130. The transmission rod 210 is arranged perpendicular to the two rotating shafts 130, and both ends of the transmission rod 210 extend to the outer sides of the two rotating shafts 130. The two gear transmission boxes 200 are arranged on the outer sides of the two rotating shafts 130. Here, taking the connection relationship between the gear transmission box 200 and the corresponding rotating shaft 130 as an example, one end of the connecting shaft 205 of the gear transmission box 200 is fixed to the second gear 202, the other end of the connecting shaft 205 extends towards the corresponding rotating shaft 130 and is sleeved with the second bevel gear 204, and the second bevel gear 204 is engaged with the first bevel gear 131 on the outer side of the rotating shaft 130. The two gear transmission boxes 200 are connected with the corresponding rotating shafts 130 according to the above connection relationship, so that the two rotating shafts 130 can rotate in opposite directions.

[0077] For example, the pivot shaft 130 on the left side of the folding channel is the first pivot shaft, and the pivot shaft 130 on the right side of the folding channel is the second pivot shaft. When the first pivot shaft rotates clockwise and the second pivot shaft rotates counterclockwise at the same time, the folding flap 100 connected to the first pivot shaft through the rotating arm 140 rotates clockwise synchronously, and the folding flap 100 connected to the second pivot shaft through the rotating arm 140 rotates counterclockwise synchronously. In this way, the two folding flaps 100 are flipped to the inside of the folding channel at the same time, and the clothes in the folding channel can be folded at this time. Similarly, when the first pivot shaft rotates counterclockwise and the second pivot shaft rotates clockwise at the same time, the folding flap 100 connected to the first pivot shaft through the rotating arm 140 rotates counterclockwise synchronously, and the folding flap 100 connected to the second pivot shaft through the rotating arm 140 rotates clockwise synchronously. In this way, the two folding flaps 100 are flipped to the outside of the folding channel at the same time, and the two folding flaps 100 are flipped back to the initial position in preparation for the next folding and flipping.

[0078] Further, the gear transmission box 200 further comprises a third gear 203, one side of the third gear 203 is meshingly connected to the first gear 201, and the other side of the third gear 203 is meshingly connected to the second gear 202. The first gear 201 drives the second gear 202 to rotate through the third gear 203.

[0079] Further, the gear transmission box 200 further comprises a cover, and the first gear 201, the second gear 202, and the third gear 203 are all arranged in the cover. The transmission rod 210 passes through the cover and is connected to the first gear 201, and one end of the connecting shaft 205 passes through the cover and is connected to the second gear 202. In this way, the cover can effectively protect the various gears inside.

[0080] Further, as shown in Figure 2 The transmission rod 210 is sleeved with a third bevel gear 211; the transmission assembly further comprises a driving part, and the driving part comprises a driving motor 400. The output shaft of the driving motor 400 is sleeved with a fourth bevel gear 401, and the fourth bevel gear 401 is meshingly connected to the third bevel gear 211 so that the driving motor 400 drives the transmission rod 210 to rotate. In this way, when the driving motor 400 rotates, the fourth bevel gear 401 rotates, the third bevel gear 211 meshed with the fourth bevel gear 401 rotates synchronously, and the transmission rod 210 connected to the third bevel gear 211 rotates synchronously.

[0081] In some embodiments, the elastic flap mechanism of the automatic clothes folding machine further comprises a base plate 300, and two parallel erected strips 310 are arranged on the base plate 300.
