Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothing processing devices, and in particular, relates to a clothing folding machine. Background Art

[0002] In daily home life, it is necessary to fold and store the dried clothes. At present, most families fold the dried clothes manually, either manually or with the help of a clothes folding board, which is time-consuming and laborious. With the development of society, people's pace of life has accelerated, and they have less time to do housework. Clothes that are not folded and stored in time are randomly piled up, which greatly wastes storage space. The improvement of living standards is also accompanied by an increase in the types of clothes. The folding process is more cumbersome. People do not know how to fold many clothes, so the folded clothes cannot be well protected. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a product that can be used in scenarios such as homes to help people realize automatic folding of clothes, which can effectively replace the complicated folding work and liberate people from complicated housework.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a device that folds clothes in the length direction by conveying clothes between conveyor belts. The flatness of the clothes during the conveying process determines the final folding effect of the clothes to a certain extent. Therefore, in order to ensure the folding effect of the clothes, a corresponding mechanism needs to be set to flatten the clothes before folding them.

[0004] One way to achieve the flattening of clothes is to use two conveyor belts to form two conveyor surfaces that are arranged opposite to each other. When the clothes pass through the conveying channel between the two conveyor surfaces, the conveyor belts squeeze the clothes to flatten the clothes. However, there are many types of clothes, and the thickness of different clothes is also different. If the distance between the two conveyor surfaces is fixed, clothes with too thick thickness may not be able to pass through, and clothes with too thin thickness cannot fully contact the two conveyor surfaces, and the squeezing effect is not obvious.

[0005] The above problem can be solved by adjusting the setting position of the conveyor belt to change the width of the conveying channel. However, if the position of the conveyor belt needs to be adjusted for each piece of clothing, the user's operation is too cumbersome, which greatly reduces the convenience brought by the folding machine to the user. At the same time, in order to achieve the adjustable position of the conveyor belt, the structure of the folding machine will inevitably become more complicated. If the elasticity of the conveyor belt itself is used to adapt to clothes of different thicknesses, in order to ensure that the squeezing force applied by the conveyor belt to the clothes is sufficient, the elasticity of the conveyor belt should not be too large, and thus the adaptable thickness range is limited. In addition, the long-term use of the folding machine causes the conveyor belt to constantly extend and shorten, which will inevitably cause fatigue of the conveyor belt, and then face the problem of replacing the conveyor belt, which is inconvenient to use.

[0006] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0057] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as “upper”, “lower”, “left”, “right”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0058] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a clothes folding machine, including a conveying and conveying mechanism 100 and a folding and conveying mechanism 200 arranged below the conveying and conveying mechanism 100. Clothes enter the conveying and conveying mechanism 100 of the clothes folding machine from the right end, are conveyed to the folding and conveying mechanism 200 below by the conveying and conveying mechanism 100, continue to be conveyed on the folding and conveying mechanism 200, and are folded at the same time, and are finally output from the folding and conveying mechanism 200 to complete the clothes folding process.

[0060] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 100 includes a first conveying mechanism 110 and a second conveying mechanism 120. The first conveying mechanism 110 includes a first conveying surface and a second conveying surface connected to each other, and the second conveying mechanism 120 extends between the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface, and includes a third conveying surface arranged opposite to the first conveying surface. An extrusion conveying channel A is formed between the first conveying surface and the third conveying surface.

[0061] A first width adjustment mechanism is provided on the first conveying mechanism 110 and / or the second conveying mechanism 120 , and the first width adjustment mechanism is used to drive the first / third conveying surface to approach or move away from the third / first conveying surface to adjust the width of the extrusion conveying channel A.

[0062] In the above scheme, the first conveying and transporting mechanism 110 and the second conveying and transporting mechanism 120 with a nested structure cooperate to transport the clothes, so that the clothes can be transported horizontally and downward to the folding and transporting mechanism 200, without having to set up multiple transporting mechanisms in the clothes folding machine to transport the clothes layer by layer, and respectively set up transporting mechanisms to transport and turn the clothes. The internal structure of the clothes folding machine is more compact, and the size of the whole clothes folding machine is smaller, which is suitable for use in the home.

[0063] By providing the first width adjustment mechanism, when the clothes pass through the squeezing and conveying channel A, the first / third conveying surface can automatically approach or move away from the third / first conveying surface according to the thickness of the clothes, thereby changing the width of the squeezing and conveying channel A to achieve self-adaptation to the thickness of the clothes. The clothes folding machine of this embodiment can adapt to clothes of different thicknesses, thereby achieving a good squeezing effect on clothes of different thicknesses.

[0064] The clothes folding machine of this embodiment also includes a frame, and the conveying mechanism 100 and the folding mechanism 200 are both installed on the frame. Specifically, the first conveying mechanism 110 includes a plurality of conveying rotating rollers and a first conveying belt 111 wound around the conveying rotating rollers, and the conveying rotating rollers are installed on the frame.

[0065] The first conveying rotating roller 1001, the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 are all arranged inside the first conveying conveyor belt 111, and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 is arranged outside the first conveying conveyor belt 111 and located between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003. A first conveying surface is formed between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, and a second conveying surface is formed between the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003.

[0066] The second conveying mechanism 120 includes a second conveying belt 121 . The second conveying belt 121 is wound around a second conveying rotating roller 1002 and a fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 to form a third conveying surface outside the first conveying belt 111 .

[0067] The first width adjustment mechanism is arranged on the first conveying mechanism 110, and includes a first tensioning roller 401 arranged between any two adjacent conveying rotating rollers. The first tensioning roller 401 is arranged in contact with the first conveying belt 111, and can move toward / away from the direction of the line between the two conveying rotating rollers on both sides of the first tensioning roller 401 to drive the first conveying surface to approach or move away from the third conveying surface.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first tension roller 401 is disposed outside the first conveying conveyor belt 111 between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, so that the first conveying conveyor belt 111 between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 is recessed inward. The first tension roller 401 can move toward / away from the line between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, thereby driving the first conveying surface to approach or away from the third conveying surface, thereby changing the width of the extrusion conveying channel A.

[0069] When no clothes pass through the squeezing and conveying channel A, the first tensioning roller 401 tensions the first conveying surface, so that at the right end of the squeezing and conveying channel A, the first conveying belt 111 and the second conveying belt 121 are tightly wound around the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004.

[0070] When the clothes pass through the squeezing and conveying channel A, especially when they approach or pass through the right end of the squeezing and conveying channel A, the clothes have a certain thickness, which will prop up the first conveying belt 111 and separate it from the surface of the second conveying belt 121. Since the total length of the first conveying belt 111 is constant, the first tensioning roller 401 needs to be moved downward appropriately, so that the length of the first conveying belt 111 between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the first tensioning roller 401 becomes shorter, and the length of the first conveying belt 111 between the first tensioning roller 401 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 can be appropriately increased, so that the first conveying belt 111 can be separated from the surface of the second conveying belt 121, and a space sufficient for the clothes to pass through is formed at the right end of the squeezing and conveying channel A.

[0071] After the clothes have completely passed through, the first tensioning roller 401 is reset upward, pulling the first conveying belt 111 to re-attach to the surface of the second conveying belt 121 wound around the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, in another scheme of this embodiment, the first tensioning roller 401-1 can also be set on the outside of the first conveying conveyor belt 111 between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003, so that the first conveying conveyor belt 111 between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 is recessed inward.

[0073] The first tensioning roller 401-1 moves to the right, which can reduce the length of the first conveying belt 111 between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003, so that the length of the first conveying belt 111 between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 can be appropriately increased to increase the width of the squeezing conveying channel A when the clothes pass through.

[0074] The first tensioning roller 401 - 1 moves to the left, which can increase the length of the first conveying belt 111 between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003, and then pull the first conveying belt 111 between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 to make it fit the surface of the second conveying belt 121 wrapped around the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004.

[0075] In a further solution of this embodiment, a first guide structure is provided on the frame, and the first tension roller 401 can move closer to or farther from the line between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 along the track defined by the first guide structure. A first elastic member for resetting the first tension roller 401 is also provided on the frame.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first guide structure is a first connecting rod 411 with a certain length, the left end of the first connecting rod 411 is rotatably connected to the frame, and the right end is connected to the rotating shaft of the first tensioning roller 401 .

[0077] The first elastic member is a first spring 421 , the upper end of the first spring 421 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the lower end of the first spring 421 is connected to the rotating shaft of the first tensioning roller 401 .

[0078] The first spring 421 is in an extended state, applying an upward pulling force to the first tensioning roller 401 , so that the first tensioning roller 401 tensions the first conveyor belt 111 .

[0079] When the clothes pass through the squeezing and conveying channel A, the clothes prop up the first conveying belt 111 at the right end of the squeezing and conveying channel A, so that the first conveying belt 111 presses down the first tensioning roller 401, and the first tensioning roller 401 rotates downward around the right end of the first connecting rod 411. Since the first spring 421 always pulls the first tensioning roller 401 upward, the downward rotation angle of the first tensioning roller 401 can be adapted to the thickness of the clothes.

[0080] After the clothes have completely passed, the first tensioning roller 401 rotates upward and resets under the pulling force of the first spring 421, and the first conveying belt 111 and the second conveying belt 121 at the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 are restored to a state where they are completely in contact with each other.

[0081] In another solution of this embodiment, the first guide structure may also be a first guide rail with a certain extension length arranged on the frame, and the rotating shaft of the first tensioning roller 401 may be movably arranged in the first guide rail.

[0082] In the above scheme, a movable first tensioning roller 401 is provided to pull the first conveying belt 111, so as to change the length of the first conveying belt 111 between any two conveying rotating rollers in the first conveying mechanism 110, thereby adjusting the width of the extrusion conveying channel A, so that it can adapt to clothes of different thicknesses, and can achieve a good extrusion effect for clothes of a wider thickness range. The first connecting rod 411 limits the moving track of the first tensioning roller 401, and the first spring 421 drives the first tensioning roller 401 to reset, so that the width of the extrusion conveying channel A is automatically adjusted according to the thickness of the clothes, and the clothes folding machine has good adaptability.

[0083] In a further solution of this embodiment, a second width adjustment mechanism is also provided on the second conveying transmission mechanism 120, and the second width adjustment mechanism is used to drive the second conveying conveyor belt 121 to pass through the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and approach or move away from the second conveying rotating roller 1002, so as to adjust the gap width between the first conveying conveyor belt 111 and the second conveying conveyor belt 121 at the second conveying rotating roller 1002.

[0084] Preferably, a fifth conveying rotating roller 1005 is further disposed between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002, and the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005 is located inside the first conveying conveyor belt 111. A fourth conveying surface is formed between the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002.

[0085] The second conveying belt 121 is wound around the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005, the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 in sequence, and the fifth conveying surface and the third conveying surface are formed in sequence outside the first conveying belt 111. The fifth conveying surface and the fourth conveying surface form a conveying channel B opposite to each other.

[0086] The second width adjustment mechanism is used to drive the fifth conveying surface to approach or move away from the fourth conveying surface to adjust the width of the conveying channel B.

[0087] The second conveying transmission mechanism 120 also includes a sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and a seventh conveying rotating roller 1007. The fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007 are all arranged on the inner side of the second conveying conveyor belt 121, and the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005 are arranged on the outer side of the second conveying conveyor belt 121.

[0088] The second width adjustment mechanism includes a second tensioning roller 402 arranged between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007, or between the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007. The second tensioning roller 402 is arranged in contact with the second conveying conveyor belt 121 and can move in the direction of approaching / moving away from the second conveying rotating roller 1002 to drive the fifth conveying surface to approach or move away from the fourth conveying surface.

[0089] Preferably, the second tensioning roller 402 is disposed on the inner side of the second transport conveyor belt 121 between the sixth transport rotating roller 1006 and the seventh transport rotating roller 1007 .

[0090] More preferably, the seventh transport rotating roller 1007 and the fourth transport rotating roller 1004 are arranged at the same height in the horizontal direction, and the second tensioning roller 402 is arranged higher than the seventh transport rotating roller 1007 .

[0091] In this embodiment, when no clothes pass through the conveying channel B, the second tensioning roller 402 tensions the second conveying belt 121 so that the fifth conveying surface is in contact with the fourth conveying surface.

[0092] When the clothes pass through the conveying channel B, the clothes have a certain thickness, which will stretch the conveying channel B, so that the fifth conveying surface is separated from the fourth conveying surface, resulting in an increase in the length of the second conveying belt 121 between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004. Since the total length of the second conveying belt 121 is fixed, the length of other parts of the second conveying belt 121 needs to be reduced, which can be achieved by appropriately moving the second tensioning roller 402 to the right.

[0093] After the clothes have completely passed, the second tensioning roller 402 is reset to the left, pulling the second conveying conveyor belt 121, so that the length of the second conveying conveyor belt 121 between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007 is increased, and the length of the second conveying conveyor belt 121 between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 is reduced, so that the fifth conveying surface is re-attached to the fourth conveying surface.

[0094] In a further solution of this embodiment, the second width adjustment mechanism further includes a second guide structure disposed on the frame, and the second tension roller 402 can approach or move away from the second conveying rotating roller 1002 along a track defined by the second guide structure. The second width adjustment mechanism further includes a second elastic member disposed on the frame for resetting the second tension roller 402.

[0095] In this embodiment, the second guide structure is a second connecting rod 412 with a certain length. The lower end of the second connecting rod 412 is rotatably connected to the frame, and the upper end is connected to the rotating shaft of the second tensioning roller 402 .

[0096] The second elastic member is a second spring 422 , the left end of the second spring 422 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the right end of the second spring 422 is connected to the rotating shaft of the second tensioning roller 402 .

[0097] The second spring 422 is in an extended state, applying a leftward pulling force to the second tensioning roller 402 , so that the second tensioning roller 402 tensions the second conveyor belt 121 .

[0098] When the clothes pass through the conveying channel B, the clothes stretch the conveying channel B to the left, so that the second conveying belt 121 presses the second tensioning roller 402 to the right, and the second tensioning roller 402 rotates to the right around the lower end of the second connecting rod 412. Since the second spring 422 always pulls the second tensioning roller 402 to the left, the angle of the second tensioning roller 402 rotating to the right can be adapted to the thickness of the clothes.

[0099] After the clothes have completely passed, the second tensioning roller 402 rotates to the left and resets under the pulling force of the second spring 422, and the state in which the fifth conveying surface is in contact with the fourth conveying surface is restored.

[0100] In another solution of this embodiment, the second guide structure may also be a second guide rail with a certain extension length arranged on the frame, and the rotating shaft of the second tensioning roller 402 may be movably arranged in the second guide rail.

[0101] In the above scheme, the movable second tensioning roller 402 is provided to pull the second conveying belt 121 to change the length of the second conveying belt 121 between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007, thereby driving the fifth conveying surface to fit and separate from the fourth conveying surface, so as to adjust the width of the conveying channel B, so that it can adapt to clothes of different thicknesses, and can achieve a good conveying and squeezing effect for clothes of a larger thickness range. The second connecting rod 412 limits the moving track of the second tensioning roller 402, and the second spring 422 drives the second tensioning roller 402 to reset, so that the width of the conveying channel B is automatically adjusted according to the thickness of the clothes, and the clothes folding machine has good adaptability.

[0102] At the same time, the second tensioning roller 402 keeps the second conveying belt 121 in a tensioned state at all times, so that the fifth conveying surface is closely attached to the fourth conveying surface, or the fifth conveying surface, the clothes to be folded and the fourth conveying surface are closely attached. Therefore, as long as one of the first conveying belt 111 and the second conveying belt 121 starts to rotate, the other conveying belt can be driven to rotate. In this way, a driving device can simultaneously drive the first conveying mechanism 110 and the second conveying mechanism 120, driving the first conveying mechanism 110 and the second conveying mechanism 120 to operate simultaneously, reducing the space occupied by the driving device, thereby saving space inside the clothes folding machine and further reducing the volume of the whole machine.

[0103] In this embodiment, a horizontal sixth conveying surface is formed between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002, which is used to receive the clothes to be folded entering the clothes folding machine and convey them to the left, so that the clothes enter the conveying channel B from the sixth conveying surface. A downwardly curved clothing entry guide plate 500 is provided at the right end of the sixth conveying surface, which is used to guide the clothes to enter the sixth conveying surface, which is conducive to flattening the clothes on the sixth conveying surface.

[0104] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in a further solution of this embodiment, the folding conveying mechanism 200 includes a first folding conveying mechanism 210 disposed below the first conveying conveying mechanism 110, and the first folding conveying mechanism 210 has a first conveying surface. The lower end of the second conveying surface is spaced apart from the right end of the first conveying surface, and a folding conveying channel C is formed therebetween.

[0105] The clothes are conveyed from the squeezing conveying channel A to the second conveying surface, and then conveyed to a certain position of the first conveying surface through the second conveying surface, and then conveyed in the reverse direction, and enter the folding conveying channel C to be folded.

[0106] At least one of the lower end of the second conveying surface and the right end of the first conveying surface can move toward or away from the other to adjust the width of the folded conveying channel C.

[0107] In this embodiment, the third conveying rotating roller 1003 can move toward or away from the right end of the first conveying surface to adjust the width of the folding conveying passage C.

[0108] In a further solution of this embodiment, a third guide structure is provided on the frame, and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 can approach or move away from the right end of the first conveying surface along the track defined by the third guide structure. A third elastic member for resetting the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 is also provided on the frame.

[0109] In this embodiment, the third guide structure is a rotating link 416 with a certain length. The left end of the rotating link 416 is rotatably connected to the frame, and the right end is connected to the rotating shaft of the third conveying rotating roller 1003 .

[0110] The third elastic member is a return spring 426 , the upper end of the return spring 426 is fixedly connected to the frame, and the lower end is connected to the rotating shaft of the third conveying rotating roller 1003 .

[0111] Preferably, a fixed limit block 436 is further provided on the frame, and when the rotating connecting rod 416 rotates downward to a certain angle, the limit block 436 abuts against the side surface of the rotating connecting rod 416 .

[0112] When the limiting block 436 abuts against the rotating link 416 , the return spring 426 is in a compressed state, applying downward pressure to the third conveying rotating roller 1003 .

[0113] When the clothes pass through the folding and conveying passage C, if the thickness of the clothes exceeds the distance between the third conveying rotating roller 1003 and the right end of the first conveying surface below, the clothes push up the third conveying rotating roller 1003, and at the same time, the first tensioning roller 401 can move upward appropriately under the pulling force of the first spring 421 to maintain the tension state of the first conveying conveyor belt 111. The third conveying rotating roller 1003 rotates upward around the left end of the rotating link 416, so that the folding and conveying passage C widens. Since the return spring 426 always presses the third conveying rotating roller 1003 downward, the degree of widening of the folding and conveying passage C can be adapted to the thickness of the clothes.

[0114] After the clothes have completely passed through, the third conveying rotating roller 1003 rotates downward and resets under the pressure of the reset spring 426 until the rotating connecting rod 416 abuts against the limit block 436.

[0115] In another solution of this embodiment, the third guide structure can also be a third guide rail with a certain extension length arranged on the frame, and the rotation axis of the third conveying rotating roller 1003 is movably arranged in the third guide rail. A limiting structure is arranged at the end of the third guide rail to limit the third conveying rotating roller 1003 from further approaching the right end of the first conveying surface, playing the same role as the limiting block 436.

[0116] In the above scheme, by providing a movable third conveying rotating roller 1003, the lower end position of the second conveying surface is adjustable, so that the width of the folding conveying channel C can be changed to adapt to clothes of different thicknesses, and achieve a good folding effect for clothes of different thicknesses. The setting of the limit block 436 limits the moving range of the third conveying rotating roller 1003, especially limits the lowest position of the third conveying rotating roller 1003 moving downward, and prevents the third conveying rotating roller 1003 from moving to the first conveying conveyor belt 111 and contacting the first folding conveying mechanism 210, thereby affecting the operation of the first folding conveying mechanism 210.

[0117] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the folding conveying mechanism 200 further includes a second folding conveying mechanism 220. Both the first folding conveying mechanism 210 and the second folding conveying mechanism 220 can perform bidirectional conveying.

[0118] The first folding conveying mechanism 210 further includes a second conveying surface connected to the first conveying surface, and the second folding conveying mechanism 220 includes a third conveying surface, which is arranged opposite to the second conveying surface to form a temporary storage channel E for clothes.

[0119] In the above scheme, after the clothes are transferred from the second conveying surface to the first conveying surface, they continue to be transferred to the left, and after being transferred to a certain position, they are transferred in the opposite direction for folding. For long clothes, when the clothes are folded, the front end of the clothes may have exceeded the leftmost end of the first conveying surface, causing the clothes to partially hang down on the left side of the first folding conveying mechanism 210. By setting the second folding conveying mechanism 220 to cooperate with the first folding conveying mechanism 210, a clothes temporary storage channel E is formed on the left side of the first folding conveying mechanism 210, and the front end of the clothes that exceed the range of the first conveying surface can enter the clothes temporary storage channel E, thereby avoiding the clothes hanging down on the left side of the first folding conveying mechanism 210, which affects the flatness of the clothes.

[0120] On the other hand, the provision of the clothing temporary storage channel E can also shorten the length of the first conveying surface, thereby reducing the volume of the entire clothes folding machine.

[0121] Furthermore, the second folding conveying mechanism 220 also includes a first guiding conveying surface, one end of which is connected to the left end of the first conveying surface and forms an acute angle with the first conveying surface, which can play a guiding role in the process of the clothes turning from the first conveying surface into the clothes temporary storage channel E, which is conducive to the clothes entering the clothes temporary storage channel E smoothly.

[0122] The second folding conveying mechanism 220 further includes a fourth conveying surface connected to the third conveying surface, wherein the conveying direction of the fourth conveying surface has a horizontal component. The first guide conveying surface, the third conveying surface and the fourth conveying surface together surround at least a portion of the first folding conveying mechanism 210 .

[0123] In the above solution, the fourth conveying surface is set so that the front end of the clothes can continue to be conveyed to the right side when being conveyed out of the lower end of the clothes temporary storage channel E, instead of directly hanging down. For longer clothes, the length of clothes hanging down to the bottom of the first folding conveying mechanism 210 is reduced, so that the long clothes are prevented from hanging down too long during the folding process, which affects the setting of the folding machine housing.

[0124] Furthermore, the first folding conveying mechanism 210 also includes a second guiding conveying surface, one end of which is connected to the left end of the fourth conveying surface and forms an acute angle with the fourth conveying surface, which can play a guiding role in the process of the clothes turning from the fourth conveying surface into the clothes temporary storage channel E, which is conducive to the clothes entering the clothes temporary storage channel E smoothly.

[0125] In this embodiment, the first folding conveying mechanism 210 includes at least three folding rotating rollers and a first folding conveying belt 211 wound around the folding rotating rollers.

[0126] Specifically, the first folding rotating roller 2001, the second folding rotating roller 2002 and the third folding rotating roller 2003 are all located inside the first folding conveyor belt 211. The first folding rotating roller 2001 and the second folding rotating roller 2002 form a first conveying surface, and the second folding rotating roller 2002 and the third folding rotating roller 2003 form a second conveying surface.

[0127] The second folding conveying mechanism 220 includes at least three folding rotating rollers and a second folding conveying belt 221 wound around the folding rotating rollers. The fourth folding rotating roller 2004, the fifth folding rotating roller 2005 and the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 are all located inside the second folding conveying belt 221.

[0128] The second folding rotating roller 2002 and the third folding rotating roller 2003 are located outside the second folding conveyor belt 221 between the fourth folding rotating roller 2004 and the fifth folding rotating roller 2005, so that the second folding conveyor belt 221 between the fourth folding rotating roller 2004 and the fifth folding rotating roller 2005 is recessed inward. A third conveying surface is formed between the second folding rotating roller 2002 and the third folding rotating roller 2003, and a fourth conveying surface is formed between the third folding rotating roller 2003 and the fifth folding rotating roller 2005.

[0129] In this embodiment, the first folding conveyor mechanism 210 and the second folding conveyor mechanism 220 share the second folding rotating roller 2002 and the third folding rotating roller 2003, and the second folding conveyor belt 221 is directly wound around the outside of the first folding conveyor belt 211, so that the second conveying surface and the third conveying surface are arranged in close contact. Therefore, as long as one of the first folding conveyor belt 211 and the second folding conveyor belt 221 starts to rotate, the other conveying conveyor belt can be driven to rotate through the close contacting conveying surface. In this way, the first folding conveyor mechanism 210 and the second folding conveyor mechanism 220 can be driven by one driving device at the same time, driving the first folding conveyor mechanism 210 and the second folding conveyor mechanism 220 to operate simultaneously, reducing the space occupied by the driving device, thereby saving the space inside the clothes folding machine and further reducing the volume of the whole machine.

[0130] In the preferred solution of this embodiment, a third tensioning roller 403 is further arranged between the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 and the fourth folding rotating roller 2004. The third tensioning roller 403 is located inside the second folding conveyor belt 221, and can move toward / away from the second folding rotating roller 2002 to change the length of the second folding conveyor belt 221 between the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 and the fourth folding rotating roller 2004, thereby driving the third conveying surface to approach or away from the second conveying surface, thereby changing the width of the temporary storage channel E for clothes.

[0131] The frame is provided with a third connecting rod 413, the upper end of which is connected to the rotating shaft of the third tensioning roller 403, and the lower end of which is rotatably connected to the frame. The rotating shaft of the third tensioning roller 403 is also connected to the right end of the third spring 423, and the left end of the third spring 423 is fixed to the frame. The third spring 423 is in an extended state, exerting a leftward pulling force on the third tensioning roller 403, so that the third tensioning roller 403 tensions the second folding conveyor belt 221.

[0132] When the clothes pass through the temporary storage passage E, the clothes stretch the temporary storage passage E to the left, so that the second folding conveyor belt 221 presses the third tension roller 403 to the right. The third tension roller 403 rotates to the right to reduce the length of the second folding conveyor belt 221 between the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 and the fourth folding rotating roller 2004, so that the width of the temporary storage passage E is adapted to the thickness of the clothes passing through. After the clothes are completely withdrawn, the third tension roller 403 rotates to the left and resets under the pulling force of the third spring 423, and the state in which the third conveying surface is attached to the second conveying surface is restored.

[0133] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the folding conveying mechanism 200 further includes a third folding conveying mechanism 230 and a fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 disposed on the right side of the first folding conveying mechanism 210 , and both the third folding conveying mechanism 230 and the fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 can convey in both directions.

[0134] The first folding conveying mechanism 210 further includes a fifth conveying surface connected to the first conveying surface, and the third folding conveying mechanism 230 has a sixth conveying surface arranged opposite to the fifth conveying surface, and a folding output channel D is formed between the fifth conveying surface and the sixth conveying surface.

[0135] The third folding conveying mechanism 230 also includes a seventh conveying surface connected to the sixth conveying surface. The clothes are conveyed to a certain position on the seventh conveying surface via the first conveying surface and then conveyed in the reverse direction, enter the folding output channel D to be folded, and are output from the folding output channel D to complete the folding process.

[0136] In this embodiment, the first folding conveying mechanism 210 further includes a seventh folding rotating roller 2007 disposed inside the first folding conveying belt 211 , and a fifth conveying surface is formed between the first folding rotating roller 2001 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 .

[0137] In this embodiment, the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 is arranged at a position lower than the third folding rotating roller 2003. A fourth tensioning roller 404 is also arranged between the third folding rotating roller 2003 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007. The fourth tensioning roller 404 is arranged on the outside of the first folding conveyor belt 211, so that the first folding conveyor belt 211 between the third folding rotating roller 2003 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 is recessed inward to form a second guiding conveying surface.

[0138] Furthermore, the first folding rotating roller 2001 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 are movably installed inside the clothes folding machine, so that the position and angle of the fifth conveying surface can be changed to change the width of the folding output channel D.

[0139] The rotating shafts of the first folding rotating roller 2001 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 417, which are used to fix the relative positions of the first folding rotating roller 2001 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007. The middle part of the connecting rod 417 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the compression spring 427, and the upper end of the compression spring 427 is fixedly installed on the frame. A fixed stopper 437 is also provided on the frame. When the connecting rod 417 abuts against the stopper 437, the compression spring 427 is in the original state or compressed state, and the fifth conveying surface formed by the first folding rotating roller 2001 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 is parallel to the sixth conveying surface of the third folding conveying mechanism 230.

[0140] When the clothes pass through the folding and outputting channel D, when the front end of the clothes enters the folding and outputting channel D, the first folding rotating roller 2001 is first pushed up to the upper left, driving the connecting rod 417 to rotate and further compress the compression spring 427. The seventh folding rotating roller 2007 moves slightly driven by the connecting rod 417, but the distance between it and the sixth conveying surface does not change significantly. Thus, the width of the input end of the folding and outputting channel D increases to accommodate the entry of clothes, while the width of the output end does not change significantly.

[0141] When the front end of the clothes approaches the output end of the folding output channel D, the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 is pushed up to the upper left, so that the width of the output end of the folding output channel D is also increased accordingly.

[0142] When the end of the clothes completely enters the folding and outputting passage D, under the pressure of the compression spring 427, the first folding rotating roller 2001 first moves downward to reset until the upper part of the connecting rod 417 abuts against the stopper 437. After the clothes are completely output from the folding and outputting passage D, the compression spring 427 continues to press the connecting rod 417 downward to reset the seventh folding rotating roller 2007.

[0143] When the width of the folding output channel D becomes larger, the fourth tensioning roller 404 may be moved upward so that the first folding conveyor belt 211 remains in a tensioned state.

[0144] Specifically, the frame is provided with a fourth connecting rod 414, the right end of which is connected to the rotating shaft of the fourth tensioning roller 404, and the left end of which is rotatably connected to the frame. The rotating shaft of the fourth tensioning roller 404 is also connected to the lower end of the fourth spring 424, and the upper end of the fourth spring 424 is fixed to the frame. The fourth spring 424 is in an extended state, and applies an upward pulling force to the fourth tensioning roller 404.

[0145] When the clothes pass through the folding output channel D, making the folding output channel D wider, the distance between the first folding rotating roller 2001 and the second folding rotating roller 2002 and / or the distance between the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 and the third folding rotating roller 2003 becomes smaller, and the fourth tensioning roller 404 rotates upward under the pulling force of the fourth spring 424 to maintain the tension state of the first folding conveyor belt 211. After the clothes completely pass through the folding output channel D, the first folding rotating roller 2001 and the seventh folding rotating roller 2007 are reset, and the first folding conveyor belt 211 presses down the fourth tensioning roller 404 to restore it to its original position.

[0146] In a further solution of this embodiment, the third folding conveying mechanism 230 also includes an eighth conveying surface extending obliquely upward from the right end of the seventh conveying surface, and the fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 has a ninth conveying surface arranged opposite to the eighth conveying surface, and an extrusion temporary storage channel F is formed between the eighth conveying surface and the ninth conveying surface.

[0147] In the above scheme, the squeezing temporary storage channel F has a similar function to the clothes temporary storage channel E, and can guide the clothes upward when the clothes entering the third folding conveying mechanism 230 are long, so as to prevent the clothes from falling from the right end of the third folding conveying mechanism 230. The eighth conveying surface and the ninth conveying surface are arranged in close contact, and can also squeeze and flatten the clothes entering the squeezing temporary storage channel F.

[0148] Furthermore, the fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 further includes a third guiding conveying surface, which is arranged opposite to the seventh conveying surface and forms an acute angle with the seventh conveying surface at the right end of the seventh conveying surface. The arrangement of the third guiding conveying surface can play a guiding role in the process of the clothes turning from the seventh conveying surface into the extrusion temporary storage channel F, which is conducive to the clothes entering the extrusion temporary storage channel F smoothly.

[0149] The fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 further includes a tenth conveying surface connected to the upper end of the extrusion temporary storage channel F, and the third folding conveying mechanism 230 further includes a fourth guiding conveying surface connected to the upper end of the extrusion temporary storage channel F. When the clothes are conveyed beyond the range of the extrusion temporary storage channel F, they are conveyed to the tenth conveying surface under the guidance of the fourth guiding conveying surface to prevent the clothes from falling to the right side of the third folding conveying mechanism 230.

[0150] In this embodiment, the third folding conveying mechanism 230 includes a plurality of folding rotating rollers and a third folding conveying belt 231 wound around the folding rotating rollers, and the fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 includes a plurality of folding rotating rollers and a fourth folding conveying belt 241 wound around the folding rotating rollers.

[0151] Specifically, the third folding conveyor belt 231 is sequentially wound around the eighth folding rotating roller 2008, the ninth folding rotating roller 2009, the tenth folding rotating roller 2010 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011 to form the third folding conveying mechanism 230. A sixth conveying surface is formed between the eighth folding rotating roller 2008 and the ninth folding rotating roller 2009.

[0152] The twelfth folding rotating roller 2012 and the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013 are arranged outside the third folding conveyor belt 231 between the eighth folding rotating roller 2008 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011, so that the third folding conveyor belt 231 between the eighth folding rotating roller 2008 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011 is recessed inward. A seventh conveying surface is formed between the eighth folding rotating roller 2008 and the twelfth folding rotating roller 2012, an eighth conveying surface is formed between the twelfth folding rotating roller 2012 and the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013, and a fourth guide conveying surface is formed between the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011.

[0153] The fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 includes a fourteenth folding rotating roller 2014, and a fourth folding conveying belt 241 is wound around the twelfth folding rotating roller 2012, the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013 and the fourteenth folding rotating roller 2014, so that the twelfth folding rotating roller 2012, the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013 and the fourteenth folding rotating roller 2014 are all located inside the fourth folding conveying belt 241. A third guide conveying surface is formed between the twelfth folding rotating roller 2012 and the fourteenth folding rotating roller 2014, a ninth conveying surface is formed between the twelfth folding rotating roller 2012 and the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013, and a tenth conveying surface is formed between the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013 and the fourteenth folding rotating roller 2014.

[0154] In the above scheme, the third folding conveyor mechanism 230 and the fourth folding conveyor mechanism 240 share the twelfth folding rotating roller 2012 and the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013, and the third folding conveyor belt 231 is directly wound around the outside of the fourth folding conveyor belt 241, so that the eighth conveying surface is arranged in close contact with the ninth conveying surface. Therefore, as long as one of the third folding conveyor belt 231 and the fourth folding conveyor belt 241 starts to rotate, the other conveying conveyor belt can be driven to rotate through the close contacting conveying surface. In this way, the third folding conveyor mechanism 230 and the fourth folding conveyor mechanism 240 can be driven by one driving device at the same time, driving the third folding conveyor mechanism 230 and the fourth folding conveyor mechanism 240 to operate simultaneously, reducing the space occupied by the driving device, thereby saving the space inside the clothes folding machine and further reducing the volume of the whole machine.

[0155] Furthermore, a fifth tensioning roller 405 is arranged between the tenth folding rotating roller 2010 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011. The fifth tensioning roller 405 is arranged on the inner side of the third folding conveyor belt 231 and can move toward / away from the thirteenth folding rotating roller 2013 to change the length of the third folding conveyor belt 231 between the tenth folding rotating roller 2010 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011, thereby driving the eighth conveying surface to approach or move away from the ninth conveying surface, thereby changing the width of the extrusion temporary storage channel F.

[0156] The frame is provided with a fifth connecting rod 415, the upper end of which is connected to the rotating shaft of the fifth tensioning roller 405, and the lower end of which is rotatably connected to the frame. The rotating shaft of the fifth tensioning roller 405 is also connected to the left end of the fifth spring 425, and the right end of the fifth spring 425 is fixed to the frame. The fifth spring 425 is in an extended state, and applies a rightward pulling force to the fifth tensioning roller 405, so that the fifth tensioning roller 405 tensions the third folding conveyor belt 231.

[0157] When the clothes pass through the squeezing temporary storage channel F, the clothes stretch the squeezing temporary storage channel F to the right, so that the third folding conveyor belt 231 presses the fifth tensioning roller 405 to the left. The fifth tensioning roller 405 rotates to the left to reduce the length of the third folding conveyor belt 231 between the tenth folding rotating roller 2010 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011, so that the width of the squeezing temporary storage channel F is adapted to the thickness of the clothes passing through. After the clothes are completely withdrawn, the fifth tensioning roller 405 rotates to the right to reset under the pulling force of the fifth spring 425, and the state in which the eighth conveying surface is attached to the ninth conveying surface is restored.

[0158] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 100 and the folding mechanism 200 can be controlled to convey the clothes in different ways, thereby achieving different folding methods for the clothes. Specific solutions include the following.

[0159] Solution 1, controlling the conveying and transporting mechanism 100 and the folding and transporting mechanism 200 to fold the clothes once, specifically includes the following steps:
