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 transferring clothes between conveyor belts. However, due to the wide variety of clothes, the folding methods of different types of clothes are different, and thus the transfer methods of different types of clothes between conveyor belts are also different. In order to realize a variety of different transfer methods in a folding machine, the distribution of the transfer channels composed of conveyor belts in the folding machine is complex, which makes the arrangement of the conveyor belts complicated and occupies a large space, further making the overall size of the folding machine large and not suitable for home use.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" 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 a direct connection, or an indirect connection 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.

[0047] 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.

[0048] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 100 includes a first conveying mechanism 110 , which includes at least three conveying surfaces. After the clothes enter the first conveying mechanism 110 , they pass through the multiple conveying surfaces in sequence and are then conveyed out of the first conveying mechanism 110 .

[0049] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first conveying mechanism 110 includes a first conveying surface and a second conveying surface connected to each other, and also includes a third conveying surface. The clothes on the first conveying mechanism 110 pass through the third conveying surface, the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface in sequence, and are conveyed out of the first conveying mechanism 110 via the second conveying surface.

[0050] Preferably, the third conveying surface has a horizontal component conveying to the left, the first conveying surface has a horizontal component conveying to the right, the second conveying surface has a horizontal component conveying to the left, or the second conveying surface conveys vertically downward.

[0051] More preferably, the first conveying surface conveys the clothes horizontally to the right, and the second conveying surface extends obliquely to the lower left from the right end of the first conveying surface to convey the clothes out of the first conveying mechanism 110.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface are arranged at a certain angle α, and the angle α is preferably less than 90 degrees.

[0053] Furthermore, the first conveying mechanism 110 further includes a fourth conveying surface, the two ends of which are connected to the third conveying surface and the first conveying surface respectively. The clothes are conveyed out of the first conveying mechanism 110 after passing through the third conveying surface, the fourth conveying surface, the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface in sequence.

[0054] Preferably, the third conveying surface is arranged horizontally, and a certain angle β is formed between the fourth conveying surface and the third conveying surface. The angle β is preferably less than 90 degrees, so that the fourth conveying surface extends from the left end of the third conveying surface to the lower right, thereby preventing the overall length of the clothes folding machine from continuing to extend to the left. The clothes enter the first conveying and transmission mechanism 110 from the right end of the third conveying surface, and a downwardly curved clothes entry guide plate 500 is arranged at the right end of the third conveying surface, which is conducive to flattening the clothes on the third conveying surface.

[0055] In the above scheme, the first conveying and transporting mechanism 110 has four conveying surfaces, and the clothes pass through the multiple conveying surfaces in sequence on the first conveying and transporting mechanism 110, completing the conveying of the clothes in the horizontal direction and conveying them downward to the folding and transporting mechanism 200. The clothes are turned twice when conveyed on the first conveying and transporting mechanism 110, so that when the clothes enter the folding and transporting mechanism 200, the upward surface of the clothes is the same as when they are laid flat on the third conveying surface.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 110 independently completes the multi-layer conveyance of clothes. At the same time, the angle setting of angles α and β makes the internal structure of the folding machine more compact, thereby reducing the volume of the folding machine, making it more suitable for home use.

[0057] To realize the above structure of the first conveying mechanism 110, the first conveying mechanism 110 of the present embodiment includes a plurality of conveying rotating rollers and a first conveying belt 111 wound around the conveying rotating rollers, and at least four conveying rotating rollers are provided.

[0058] Specifically, 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. The fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 is arranged between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 and is located outside the first conveying conveyor belt 111, so that the first conveying conveyor belt 111 between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 is concave inward.

[0059] A first transport surface is formed between the fourth transport rotating roller 1004 and the second transport rotating roller 1002 , and a second transport surface is formed between the fourth transport rotating roller 1004 and the third transport rotating roller 1003 .

[0060] Furthermore, a fifth transport rotating roller 1005 is disposed between the first transport rotating roller 1001 and the second transport rotating roller 1002 , and the fifth transport rotating roller 1005 is located on the inner side of the first transport conveyor belt 111 .

[0061] A third transport surface is formed between the fifth transport rotating roller 1005 and the first transport rotating roller 1001 , and a fourth transport surface is formed between the fifth transport rotating roller 1005 and the second transport rotating roller 1002 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the first conveying transmission mechanism 110 is composed of a first conveying transmission belt 111 and a plurality of conveying rotating rollers. A driving device can drive any one of the conveying rotating rollers to drive the first conveying transmission mechanism 110, thereby driving the first conveying transmission mechanism 110 to operate, reducing the space occupied by the driving device, thereby saving space inside the clothes folding machine, and further reducing the volume of the entire clothes folding machine.

[0063] In a further solution of this embodiment, the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005 are arranged at the same height in the horizontal direction, so that the third conveying surface conveys the clothes in the horizontal direction. The second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 are arranged lower than the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005, and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 is arranged lower than the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, so that the clothes are conveyed downward after passing through the fourth conveying surface, the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface.

[0064] Furthermore, the third conveying rotating roller 1003 is arranged horizontally between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002, that is, the position of the clothing output first conveying transmission mechanism 110 is located on the left side of the first conveying rotating roller 1001, thereby avoiding the length of the clothes folding machine in the left-right direction being too long.

[0065] Preferably, the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 is arranged horizontally between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003, so that the second conveying surface conveys the clothes tilted to the lower left, and the second conveying surface is arranged upward to ensure stable output of the clothes.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first conveying surface of the first conveying and conveying mechanism 110 is arranged to face downward. In order to realize the conveying function of the first conveying surface on the clothes, the conveying and conveying mechanism 100 also includes a second conveying and conveying mechanism 120 for cooperating with the first conveying surface. The second conveying and conveying mechanism 120 has a fifth conveying surface arranged opposite to the first conveying surface. The fifth conveying surface and the first conveying surface are conveyed to the right at the same time, so as to prevent the clothes from falling off and ensure that the clothes are conveyed from the first conveying surface to the second conveying surface.

[0067] A first tensioning roller 401 is disposed between the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 . The first tensioning roller 401 is located outside the first conveying conveyor belt 111 , 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.

[0068] Preferably, the diameter of the first tension roller 401 is smaller than the diameter of the fourth transport rotating roller 1004 .

[0069] In the above scheme, the first tensioning roller 401 is provided to expand the space between the first conveying surface and the fifth conveying surface, where some auxiliary devices can be installed to process the clothes. For example, folding flaps that can be folded toward the fifth conveying surface are provided on both sides of the fifth conveying surface along the conveying direction to fold and arrange the width of the clothes. Alternatively, an ironing module is installed to iron the clothes passing through, and a sterilization module is installed to sterilize the clothes passing through.

[0070] In a further solution of this embodiment, a lower pressure roller 1008 is further arranged between the first tensioning roller 401 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004. The lower pressure roller 1008 is arranged on the inner side of the first conveying conveyor belt 111, so that the first conveying conveyor belt 111 between the first tensioning roller 401 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 protrudes outward.

[0071] Preferably, the diameter of the lower pressing roller 1008 is greater than the diameter of the first tensioning roller 401. More preferably, the diameter of the lower pressing roller 1008 is equal to the diameter of the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004.

[0072] In the above scheme, the lower pressure roller 1008 is used to press down the first conveying belt 111 between the first tensioning roller 401 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, so that the first conveying belt 111 is close to the fifth conveying surface. In particular, the angle between the first conveying belt 111 and the fifth conveying surface on the right side of the lower pressure roller 1008 is reduced, which is conducive to maintaining the flatness of the clothes while turning when the clothes are conveyed from between the first conveying surface and the fifth conveying surface to the second conveying surface.

[0073] In a further solution of this embodiment, a avoidance roller 1010 is further provided between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003. The avoidance roller 1010 is located outside the first conveying conveyor belt 111, 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.

[0074] Preferably, the diameter of the avoidance roller 1010 is smaller than the diameter of the first transport rotating roller 1001 .

[0075] In this embodiment, a avoidance roller 1010 is arranged between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003. The first conveying conveyor belt 111 between the first conveying rotating roller 1001 and the third conveying rotating roller 1003 bypasses the avoidance roller 1010 to form a depression upward, which saves the space below the right side of the first conveying transmission mechanism 110 to a certain extent, thereby providing space for the arrangement of other structures in the clothes folding machine.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, by providing the avoidance roller 1010, the first conveying conveyor belt 111 can avoid the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011 in the folding conveying mechanism 200 below, without increasing the distance between the folding conveying mechanism 200 and the conveying conveying mechanism 100. It can be seen that the provision of the avoidance roller 1010 improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the folding machine and further reduces the volume of the entire folding machine.

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a further solution of this embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 120 extends between the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface to form a fifth conveying surface arranged opposite to the first conveying surface, and an extrusion conveying channel A is formed between the first conveying surface and the third conveying surface. When the clothes pass through the extrusion conveying channel A, they are subjected to the pressure of the first conveying surface and the fifth conveying surface on the upper and lower sides, thereby achieving the effect of squeezing and flattening the clothes.

[0078] In the preferred solution of this embodiment, the distance between the first tension roller 401 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002 is smaller than the distance between the first tension roller 401 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004. The distance between the lower pressure roller 1008 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002 is smaller than the distance between the lower pressure roller 1008 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004.

[0079] In the above scheme, the first tensioning roller 401 is arranged closer to the second conveying rotating roller 1002, so that the position with the largest width in the squeezing and conveying channel A is closer to the input end, which does not affect the squeezing effect of the squeezing and conveying channel A on the right side of the first tensioning roller 401 on the clothes. The lower pressing roller 1008 is also arranged closer to the second conveying rotating roller 1002, which can reduce the angle between the first conveying conveyor belt 111 on the right side of the lower pressing roller 1008 and the fifth conveying surface to the greatest extent, which is more conducive to maintaining the flatness of the clothes while turning when the clothes are conveyed from the squeezing and conveying channel A to the second conveying surface.

[0080] The second conveying mechanism 120 also includes a sixth conveying surface arranged opposite to the fourth conveying surface, ensuring that the clothes are conveyed downward along the fourth conveying surface without falling off. A conveying channel B is formed between the fourth conveying surface and the sixth conveying surface, and the clothes are conveyed into the extrusion conveying channel A through the conveying channel B.

[0081] The second conveying mechanism 120 further includes a guiding surface, one end of which is connected to the left end of the fourth conveying surface and is disposed at a certain angle γ with the fourth conveying surface, and the angle γ satisfies: γ<90°.

[0082] In the above scheme, the guide surface is arranged at the left end of the third conveying surface to form an angle γ less than 90°, which plays a guiding role when the clothes are conveyed from the third conveying surface into the conveying channel B, which is conducive to the clothes to turn smoothly into the conveying channel B.

[0083] Specifically, the second conveying mechanism 120 includes a second conveying belt 121, which is wound around the fifth conveying roller 1005, the second conveying roller 1002 and the fourth conveying roller 1004 in sequence to form a sixth conveying surface and a fifth conveying surface in sequence outside the first conveying belt 111.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first conveying and transmission mechanism 110 and the second conveying and transmission mechanism 120 share the second conveying rotating roller 1002, the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 and the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005, and the second conveying and transmission belt 121 is directly wound around the outside of the first conveying and transmission belt 111, so that the fourth conveying surface and the sixth conveying surface are arranged in close contact. Therefore, as long as one of the first conveying and transmission belt 111 and the second conveying and transmission belt 121 starts to rotate, the other conveying and transmission belt can be driven to rotate through the contacting part. In this way, a driving device can simultaneously drive the first conveying and transmission mechanism 110 and the second conveying and transmission mechanism 120, driving the first conveying and transmission mechanism 110 and the second conveying and transmission mechanism 120 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.

[0085] Further, the second conveying and conveying mechanism 120 further includes a sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and a seventh conveying rotating roller 1007, and the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002 are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005. 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. A guide surface is formed between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005.

[0086] Preferably, the sixth transport roller 1006 at least partially overlaps with the fifth transport roller 1005 in the horizontal direction, or the sixth transport roller 1006 is located between the fifth transport roller 1005 and the first transport roller 1001 in the horizontal direction. Figure 2 As shown, the rightmost end of the sixth transport rotating roller 1006 is located on the right side of the leftmost end of the fifth transport rotating roller 1005 .

[0087] In the above scheme, the position setting of the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 makes the guiding surface cooperate with the left end of the fourth conveying surface to form an angle γ less than 90°, which can play a guiding role when the clothes enter the conveying and transferring channel B from the third conveying surface, making it easier for the clothes to enter the conveying and transferring channel B, which is conducive to keeping the clothes flat when entering the conveying and transferring channel B.

[0088] In a further solution of this embodiment, a second tensioning roller 402 is further arranged between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007. The second tensioning roller 402 is arranged on the inner side of the second conveying conveyor belt 121, so that the second conveying conveyor belt 121 between the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007 protrudes outward.

[0089] Preferably, the diameter of the second tension roller 402 is smaller than the diameter of the sixth transport rotating roller 1006 .

[0090] Furthermore, the second conveying mechanism 120 further includes a support roller 1009 disposed between the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, and the support roller 1009 is located inside the second conveying conveyor belt 121. The support roller 1009 is disposed in contact with the second conveying conveyor belt 121 on both sides thereof.

[0091] Preferably, the diameter of the support roller 1009 is equal to the diameter of the fourth transport rotating roller 1004 .

[0092] More preferably, the distance between the support roller 1009 and the fourth transport roller 1004 is smaller than the distance between the support roller 1009 and the seventh transport roller 1007 .

[0093] In this embodiment, the length of the portion of the second conveying mechanism 120 extending between the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface is relatively large, that is, the conveying length of the fifth conveying surface is relatively large. The second conveying belts 121 at both ends of the fifth conveying surface are respectively wound around the lower side of the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the upper side of the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004. Since the portion between the two has no support, it is easy to be greatly deformed during the passage of the clothes, thereby weakening the squeezing effect on the clothes. By setting the support roller 1009 to support a certain position in the middle of the fifth conveying surface, the fifth conveying surface is divided into two shorter sections, which can reduce the deformation amplitude of the second conveying belt 121.

[0094] Since the clothes will turn at the output end of the extrusion conveying channel A, the flatness is easily affected, so the width requirement of the output end of the extrusion conveying channel is more stringent. The support roller 1009 is arranged at a position close to the end of the extrusion conveying channel A, and the support effect of the second conveying conveyor belt 121 at the end of the extrusion conveying channel A is better.

[0095] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the folding conveying mechanism 200 specifically includes a first folding conveying mechanism 210 , a second folding conveying mechanism 220 , a third folding conveying mechanism 230 and a fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 .

[0096] The first folding conveying mechanism 210 has a first conveying surface, the right end of which is lower than the lower end of the second conveying surface and is spaced apart from the lower end of the second conveying surface, and a folding conveying channel C is formed therebetween. After the clothes are conveyed to a certain position on the first conveying surface via the second conveying surface, they are conveyed in the reverse direction and enter the folding conveying channel C to be folded.

[0097] The first folding conveying mechanism 210 and the second folding conveying mechanism 220 can both carry out bidirectional conveying. The first folding conveying mechanism 210 also 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.

[0098] 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 preventing the clothes from hanging down on the left side of the first folding conveying mechanism 210, which affects the flatness of the clothes.

[0099] 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.

[0100] Furthermore, the second folding conveying mechanism 220 further includes a first guiding conveying surface, one end of which is connected to the left end of the first conveying surface and is arranged at a certain angle θ with the first conveying surface, and the angle θ satisfies: θ<90°.

[0101] By setting the first guiding conveying surface at the left end of the first conveying surface to form an acute angle θ, it can play a guiding role in the process of 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.

[0102] Furthermore, the second folding conveying mechanism 220 also includes a fourth conveying surface connected to the third conveying surface, the conveying direction of the fourth conveying surface has a horizontal component, and the first guide conveying surface, the third conveying surface and the fourth conveying surface together surround at least part of the first folding conveying mechanism 210.

[0103] In this embodiment, the third conveying surface conveys the clothes downward, and the fourth conveying surface is arranged at a certain angle ω with the third conveying surface, and the angle ω satisfies: ω<180°

[0104] In the above solution, the fourth conveying surface is provided so that the front end of the clothes can continue to be conveyed to the 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 housing of the clothes folding machine.

[0105] Furthermore, the first folding conveying mechanism 210 further includes a second guiding conveying surface, one end of which is connected to the left end of the fourth conveying surface and is arranged at a certain angle ψ with the fourth conveying surface, and the angle ψ satisfies: ψ<90°.

[0106] In the above solution, when the clothes are folded, they are conveyed clockwise around the first folding conveying mechanism 210. The second guiding conveying surface is arranged at the left end of the fourth conveying surface to form an acute angle ψ, 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.

[0107] 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.

[0108] 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.

[0109] 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] 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.

[0112] In the preferred solution of this embodiment, a third tensioning roller 403 is further provided between the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 and the fourth folding rotating roller 2004 or the fifth folding rotating roller 2005. The third tensioning roller 403 is located inside the second folding conveyor belt 221, so that the second folding conveyor belt 221 between the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 and the fourth folding rotating roller 2004 or the fifth folding rotating roller 2005 protrudes outward.

[0113] More preferably, the third tensioning roller 403 and the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 are arranged at the same position in the vertical direction.

[0114] More preferably, the diameter of the third tensioning roller 403 is smaller than the diameter of the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 .

[0115] In this embodiment, the third tension roller 403 is disposed between the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 and the fourth folding rotating roller 2004, and the third tension roller 403 and the sixth folding rotating roller 2006 jointly support the left portion of the second folding conveyor belt 221. Compared with the case where only one rotating roller is disposed between the fourth folding rotating roller 2004 and the fifth folding rotating roller 2005, the distance that the second folding conveyor mechanism 220 extends to the left can be reduced, and the space occupied by the second folding conveyor mechanism 220 can be reduced.

[0116] The third tensioning roller 403 is movably installed inside the folding machine, and can thereby tighten or loosen the second folding conveyor belt 221, so that the third conveying surface is closely attached to the second conveying surface, or a gap is formed with the second conveying surface. Through the movable third tensioning roller 403, the width of the clothing temporary storage channel E can be adaptively adjusted as the clothing passes through, thereby improving the adaptability of the folding machine to clothing.

[0117] In a further solution of this embodiment, the clothes folding machine further includes a first pressing and folding mechanism 301 which can be inserted into / pulled out of the folding and conveying channel C, and can press the clothes into the folding and conveying channel C.

[0118] Specifically, the first pressing and folding mechanism 301 can be configured as a movable pressing plate. When the clothes need to be transferred from the second conveying surface to the first conveying surface, the pressing plate is located outside the folding and conveying channel C and does not affect the passage of the clothes. When the clothes need to be folded when transferred to a certain position, the pressing plate moves to the lower right and inserts into the folding and conveying channel C, and some of the clothes can be pressed into the folding and conveying channel C in a folded form, and then the folding process of the clothes is completed through the opposite conveying of the first conveying and conveying mechanism 110 and the first folding and conveying mechanism 210.

[0119] In the above solution, the provision of the first folding mechanism 301 can assist the clothes to enter the folding and conveying channel C and be folded, so that the creases are more neat and the folding effect of the clothes is better.

[0120] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the third folding conveying mechanism 230 and the fourth folding conveying mechanism 240 are arranged 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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 .

[0124] 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 that forms an angle ψ with the fourth conveying surface.

[0125] Furthermore, 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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.

[0130] 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] 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.

[0134] Furthermore, a fifth tensioning roller 405 is disposed between the tenth folding rotating roller 2010 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011. The fifth tensioning roller 405 is disposed inside the third folding conveyor belt 231 so that the third folding conveyor belt 231 between the tenth folding rotating roller 2010 and the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011 protrudes outward.

[0135] The fifth tensioning roller 405 is movably installed inside the folding machine, and can thereby tighten or loosen the third folding conveyor belt 231, so that the eighth conveying surface is closely attached to the ninth conveying surface, or a gap is created between the eighth conveying surface and the ninth conveying surface. Through the movable fifth tensioning roller 405, the width of the squeeze temporary storage channel F can be adaptively adjusted as the clothes pass through, thereby improving the adaptability of the folding machine to the clothes.

[0136] In a further solution of this embodiment, the clothes folding machine further includes a second pressing and folding mechanism 302 which can be inserted into / pulled out of the folding and outputting channel D, and can press the clothes into the folding and outputting channel D.

[0137] Similar to the structure of the first pressing and folding mechanism 301, the second pressing and folding mechanism 302 can also be configured as a movable pressing plate. When the clothes need to be transferred from the first conveying surface to the seventh conveying surface, the pressing plate is located outside the folding and outputting channel D and does not affect the passage of the clothes. When the clothes are transferred to a certain position and need to be folded, the pressing plate moves to the lower left and inserts into the folding and outputting channel D, and some of the clothes can be pressed into the folding and outputting channel D in a folded form, and then the folding and outputting process of the clothes is completed through the opposite conveying of the first folding conveying mechanism 210 and the third folding conveying mechanism 230.

[0138] 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.
