[0123] The first conveying mechanism 100 is controlled to move leftward and / or the second conveying mechanism 200 is controlled to move rightward to convey the clothes from the first conveying channel S1 to the second conveying channel S2, then from the second conveying channel S2 to the third conveying channel S3, from the third conveying channel S3 to the fourth conveying channel S4, and then from the fourth conveying channel S4 to the fourth conveying channel Z4.

[0124] It also includes controlling the third folding conveying mechanism 500 to move to the left and controlling the fourth folding conveying mechanism 600 to move to the right, so as to convey the clothes conveyed from the fourth conveying channel S4 to the fourth conveying channel Z4 to the fifth conveying channel Z5, and even to the sixth conveying channel Z6. However, some clothes may still be located in the fourth conveying channel S4 at this time.

[0125] The third folding and conveying mechanism 500 is controlled to move rightward, the fourth folding and conveying mechanism 600 is controlled to move leftward, and the first folding and conveying mechanism 300 is controlled to move rightward to convey the clothes from the fourth conveying channel Z4, the fifth conveying channel Z5 and the sixth conveying channel Z6 to a certain position of the first conveying channel Z1.

[0126] If the clothes are long, the first folding and conveying mechanism 300 is controlled to move rightward and the second folding and conveying mechanism 400 is controlled to move leftward, or the second folding and conveying mechanism 400 is controlled to move rightward to convey at least part of the clothes from the first conveying channel Z1 to the second conveying channel Z2.

[0127] Further, the control continues to control the first folding and conveying mechanism 300 to move rightward and the second folding and conveying mechanism 400 to move leftward, so as to convey at least part of the clothes to the third conveying channel Z3.

[0128] Furthermore, the first folding and conveying mechanism 300 is controlled to move to the left, and the second folding and conveying mechanism 400 is controlled to move to the right, so that the clothes are conveyed out through the first conveying channel Z1, the second conveying channel Z2, and the third conveying channel Z3.

[0129] Then, the third folding conveying mechanism 500 is controlled to move rightward and the first folding conveying mechanism 300 is controlled to move leftward, so that the clothes are transmitted through the transmission output channel Z7 between the third folding conveying mechanism 500 and the first folding conveying mechanism 300, thereby completing the folding of the clothes.

[0130] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as above in the preferred embodiment, it is not used to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this patent can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical content suggested above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. The implementation scheme in the above embodiment can also be further combined or replaced. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still falls within the scope of the solution of the present invention.
