Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a contact type sensing assembly, in particular to a physical contact type sensing assembly for an automatic clothes folding machine, and belongs to the technical field of sensing assemblies. BACKGROUND

[0002] The automatic clothes folding machine is relatively widely applied in large laundry stores or garment production enterprises. In order to realize uninterrupted clothes folding, the existing automatic clothes folding machine assembles a conveying belt and a sensor together for cooperation, so as to realize accurate control. However, the sensor used at present is usually a laser sensor. When the clothes are thin, the laser sensor is easy to penetrate the clothes, thereby causing inaccurate sensing, and the subsequent clothes folding assembly cannot fold the clothes, thereby reducing the qualified rate of the automatic clothes folding machine. Moreover, the cost of the laser sensor is high, so that the investment cost is large, which is not conducive to the development of the industry. SUMMARY

[0003] The following is a simple summary in order to have a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments. The summary is not an overview, nor is it intended to determine key / important constituent elements or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but as a prelude to the detailed description below.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the application is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a physical contact type sensing assembly for an automatic clothes folding machine.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the application provides the following technical scheme:

[0006] The application provides a physical contact type sensing assembly for an automatic clothes folding machine, which comprises a rack, a conveying belt, a connecting plate and a cross plate. The inner side of the rack is symmetrically provided with the conveying belt. The inner wall of the rack is fixedly connected with the connecting plate on both sides and below the conveying belt. The cross plate is fixedly connected between the two ends of the connecting plate away from the rack. The top center of the cross plate is fixedly connected with a connecting block through a bolt. The side of the connecting block away from the cross plate is provided with a sensing assembly.

[0007] As a preferred scheme of the application, a groove is formed in the outer side of the connecting block away from the cross plate.

[0008] As a preferred scheme of the application, the sensing assembly comprises a metal sensor, a rotating shaft, a blocking ring and a metal ring. The inner wall of the groove is fixedly connected with the metal sensor. One end of the metal sensor extends to the outside of the connecting block. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the inner walls of the groove. The blocking ring is sleeved on the outer part of the rotating shaft between the two conveying belts. The bottom of the blocking ring is fixedly connected with the metal ring.

[0009] As a preferred scheme of the present application, the baffle ring extends to the outside of the frame and is higher than the conveying belt from one end of the metal ring.

[0010] As a preferred scheme of the present application, the weight of the metal ring is greater than that of the baffle ring.

[0011] The present application has the advantages of compact structure, simple operation, strong practicability, low manufacturing cost of the equipment, reduced cost investment, and improved product competitiveness. When the conveying belt is conveying clothes, the clothes can push the baffle ring, so that the metal ring rotates to the sensing area of the metal sensor, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of signal penetration of the original laser sensor through the clothes, accurately sensing the passing of the clothes, and effectively improving the qualified rate of the automatic clothes folding machine.

[0028] Further, the recess 6 is formed on the side of the connecting block 5 away from the cross plate 4, which facilitates the installation of the sensing assembly 7 and saves the space required for installation, thereby making the device smaller in size.

[0029] Further, the sensing assembly 7 comprises a metal sensor 71, a rotating shaft 72, a blocking ring 73 and a metal ring 74, the metal sensor 71 is fixedly connected to the side of the inner wall of the recess 6, one end of the metal sensor 71 extends to the outside of the connecting block 5, the rotating shaft 72 is rotatably connected between the two sides of the inner wall of the recess 6, the blocking ring 73 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 72 outside and between the two conveying belts 2, and the metal ring 74 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the blocking ring 73, which replaces the original laser sensor sensing mode, effectively solves the phenomenon of signal penetrating through clothes, and can accurately sense the passing of clothes, and reduces the capital investment required for manufacturing equipment.

[0030] Further, the end of the blocking ring 73 away from the metal ring 74 extends to the outside of the rack 1 and is higher than the conveying belt 2, which facilitates contact with the clothes on the conveying belt 2 and avoids omission.
