For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0074] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention discloses a clothes folding machine, a conveying unit and a folding unit. The conveying unit is used to receive clothes to be folded and convey the clothes to the folding unit. The folding unit is used to receive the clothes conveyed by the conveying unit and drive the clothes to move and fold them in the length direction.

[0075] The folding and conveying unit includes a first folding and conveying unit and a second folding and conveying unit; the first folding and conveying unit has a first conveying channel Z1, and the first conveying channel Z1 is used to receive the clothes conveyed by the transporting and conveying unit. The second folding and conveying unit has a second conveying channel Z2 connected to the first conveying channel Z1. The first folding and conveying unit and the second folding and conveying unit move in the same direction to convey the clothes from the first conveying channel Z1 to a certain position of the second conveying channel Z2.

[0076] And / or, there is a conveying output channel Z7 between the first folding conveying unit and the second folding conveying unit, and the input ends of the conveying output channel Z7 are respectively connected to the first conveying channel Z1 and the second conveying channel Z2, and the first folding conveying unit and the second folding conveying unit move toward the conveying output channel Z7, so that the clothes pass through the conveying output channel Z7 between the first folding conveying unit and the second folding conveying unit.

[0077] In the above technical solution of the present invention, the first conveying channel Z1 of the first folding conveying unit is connected to the second conveying channel Z2 of the second folding conveying unit, and the clothes on the first conveying channel Z1 are conveyed to the second conveying channel Z2, so that the clothes are folded once in the length direction on the second conveying channel Z2, thereby improving the folding effect of the clothes.

[0078] In addition, the input end of the conveying output channel Z7 is connected to the first conveying channel Z1 and the second conveying channel Z2 respectively. After the clothes are folded in the length direction, they are output through the conveying output channel Z7, and folded again during output.

[0079] Furthermore, the second folding conveying unit further includes a fifth conveying channel Z5 connected to the second conveying channel Z2, and the second conveying channel Z2 and the fifth conveying channel Z5 are arranged at a certain angle c, and the angle c satisfies: c<180°.

[0080] In the above solution of the present invention, after the clothes enter the second conveying channel Z2, they can continue to be conveyed to the fifth conveying channel Z5 to store excess clothes so as to prevent the excess clothes from falling out of the second folding and conveying unit.

[0081] Furthermore, the second folding conveying unit includes a sixth conveying channel Z6, one end of which is connected to the fifth conveying channel Z5; preferably, the sixth conveying channel Z6 is arranged at a certain angle d with the fifth conveying channel Z5; the sixth conveying channel is arranged at a certain angle e with the second conveying channel, and the angle c+angle d+angle e=180°.

[0082] In the above solution of the present invention, after the clothes enter the fifth conveying channel Z5, they can continue to be conveyed to the sixth conveying channel Z6 to store excess clothes so as to prevent the excess clothes from falling out of the second folding conveying mechanism 400.

[0085] An eleventh conveying surface 521 is formed between the ninth rotating roller 511 and the tenth rotating roller 512, a twelfth conveying surface 522 is formed between the tenth rotating roller 512 and the eleventh rotating roller 513, and a thirteenth conveying surface 523 is formed between the eleventh rotating roller 513 and the ninth rotating roller 511. Each conveying surface has two opposite sides. One side of the thirteenth conveying surface 523 is connected to one side of the eleventh conveying surface 521, and the other side is connected to one side of the twelfth conveying surface 522. The eleventh conveying surface 521 is connected to the twelfth conveying surface 522.

[0086] The second folding conveying mechanism 400 includes a fifth rotating roller 411 , a sixth rotating roller 412 , a seventh rotating roller 413 , an eighth rotating roller 414 and a second conveying belt 420 disposed on the fifth rotating roller 411 , the sixth rotating roller 412 , the seventh rotating roller 413 , and the eighth rotating roller 414 .

[0087] A conveying surface is formed between the fifth rotating roller 411 and the sixth rotating roller 412, an eighth conveying surface 424 connected to the conveying surface between the fifth rotating roller 411 and the sixth rotating roller 412 is formed between the sixth rotating roller 412 and the seventh rotating roller 413, a ninth conveying surface 425 connected to the eighth conveying surface 424 is formed between the seventh rotating roller 413 and the eighth rotating roller 414, and a tenth conveying surface 426 is formed between the eighth rotating roller 414 and the fifth rotating roller 411.

[0088] The third folding conveying mechanism 500 is arranged on the second folding conveying mechanism 400. Furthermore, the tenth rotating roller 512 and the eleventh rotating roller 513 are arranged on the outside of the second conveyor belt 420 between the fifth rotating roller 411 and the sixth rotating roller 412, so that the conveying surface between the fifth rotating roller 411 and the sixth rotating roller 412 is recessed inward, and the conveying surface between the fifth rotating roller 411 and the sixth rotating roller 412 is pressed into a fifth conveying surface 421, a sixth conveying surface 422 and a first blocking surface 423 which are connected in sequence.

[0089] There is a certain gap between the fifth conveying surface 421 and the eleventh conveying surface 521 to form the second conveying channel Z2. The setting of the gap can help the clothes to better enter the second conveying channel Z2. The sixth conveying surface 422 and the twelfth conveying surface 522 constitute the fifth conveying channel Z5. The thirteenth conveying surface 523 constitutes the sixth conveying channel Z6.
