Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of clothing folding machines, and particularly relates to a clothing feeding device and a clothing folding machine for a clothes folding machine. Background Art

[0002] The clothes folding machine can fold the fed clothes through multiple folding units. The specific operation is as follows: Workers take the clothes to be folded, arrange the clothes well and then put them into the folding unit, start the folding unit to complete the folding of the clothes, and then move out the folded clothes, and put the new clothes to be folded on the folding unit to prepare for folding. For clothing factories, the work efficiency is improved.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with the publication number CN111648110A discloses a clothes folding machine, which includes a support frame, an adjustment unit, a storage unit, a first folding unit, a second folding unit and a clothes dropping unit. A workbench groove is provided at the top of the support frame, and a clothes dropping port is opened at the center of the bottom of the workbench groove. The storage unit is arranged at the bottom of the support frame and corresponds to the position of the clothes dropping port. The first folding unit, the second folding unit and the clothes dropping unit are all arranged in the workbench groove and are located on the same plane. The clothes dropping unit is arranged directly above the clothes dropping port. The first folding unit is relatively arranged on any two sides of the clothes dropping unit. The second folding unit is relatively arranged on the two sides of the clothes dropping unit where the first folding unit is not arranged. The adjustment unit is arranged in the workbench groove and is fixedly connected to the first folding unit, the second folding unit and the clothes dropping unit respectively to adjust the widths of the first folding unit, the second folding unit and the clothes dropping unit.

[0004] However, the above solution has the following deficiencies: The above clothes folding machine requires manual operation to put the clothes to be folded into the folding unit. Only after the clothes placed are folded and pushed away can the next piece of clothes be folded. This causes the folded clothes on the clothes folding machine to not be folded quickly and continuously. How to organize and place the next piece of clothes during the folding process of the clothes folding machine to improve the folding efficiency is a problem that needs to be solved at present.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a clothing feeding device and a clothing folding machine for a clothes folding machine to solve the problems mentioned in the above background art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a clothing feeding device and a clothing folding machine for a clothes folding machine to solve the problems existing in the above background art.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A clothes feeding device for a clothes folding machine, comprising a folding part arranged on the clothes folding machine, a clothes feeding frame is arranged above the folding part, clothes feeding partitions are slidably penetrated through both inner side walls of the clothes feeding frame, and first telescopic rods connected to the clothes feeding partitions are arranged on both side parts of the clothes feeding frame. The telescopic ends of the first telescopic rods can quickly draw the clothes feeding partitions outwards from the clothes feeding frame.

[0009] A clothes storage frame is sleeved on the edge part of the upper end surface of the clothes feeding frame. Lower parts of the rear side wall of the clothes storage frame are symmetrically provided with row plate notch openings, and vertical symmetrically arranged chute openings are arranged on the top wall inside the row plate notch openings. A plurality of sliding rod frames are horizontally and longitudinally limited and slidably penetrated through the two chute openings. Storage partitions are arranged on both inner ends of the sliding rod frames. A second telescopic rod is arranged on the rear surface of the clothes storage frame. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod can push the lowermost storage partition in the clothes storage frame out of the row plate notch opening, and the clothes above the lowermost storage partition will fall on the lower clothes feeding partition. A circulating support assembly is arranged between the inside of the clothes storage frame and the plurality of storage partitions. The circulating support assembly can make the plurality of storage partitions in the clothes storage frame sequentially fall at a fixed distance towards the side of the row plate notch opening from top to bottom.

[0010] Preferably, activity notch openings are arranged on both inner side walls of the clothes feeding frame. The clothes feeding partitions are slidably penetrated through the activity notch openings, and the upper end surfaces of the clothes feeding partitions are designed as bevel edges. A sliding surface layer is arranged on the upper end surfaces of the clothes feeding partitions.

[0011] Preferably, cover plate frames are arranged on both side parts of the clothes feeding frame. The cover plate frames are detachably and fixedly arranged on the clothes folding machine. The outer shell parts of the first telescopic rods are fixedly arranged on the cover plate frames. An air supply pump is arranged on one of the cover plate frames. The air outlet side of the air supply pump is connected to an air guide pipe through a flow dividing valve. A transfer air cavity communicated with the air guide pipe is arranged inside the clothes feeding partition. Blowing holes extending through the upper end surface of the sliding surface layer are arranged on the top wall of the transfer air cavity. When the telescopic ends of the first telescopic rods push the clothes feeding partitions to quickly draw outwards from the clothes feeding frame, the air discharged by the air supply pump passes through the air guide pipe, the transfer air cavity and the blowing holes in sequence to quickly separate the clothes from the clothes feeding partitions.

[0012] Preferably, limiting notch openings communicated with the top wall of the row plate notch opening are arranged on both inner side walls of the chute openings. Corresponding limiting blocks slidably connected to the limiting notch openings are arranged on the sliding rod frames. A clothes guiding inclined plate is arranged on the inner side part of the storage partition. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod can push the sliding rod frame corresponding to the lowermost storage partition inside the clothes storage frame.

[0013] Preferably, the cyclic support assembly includes fixed hole blocks symmetrically arranged at the rear side of the clothes storage frame. A limit rail column slidably penetrates through the fixed hole blocks, and a limit sleeve is sleeved on the top of the limit rail column. A bearing hole frame installed on the fixed hole block is sleeved outside the limit sleeve, and a driven gear is sleeved on the limit sleeve. A driving motor is arranged on the upper end face of the fixed hole block, and a driving gear meshed with the driven gear is sleeved on the output shaft end of the driving motor. A cyclic adjustment column is arranged at the bottom end of the limit rail column. The output shaft end of the driving motor drives the cyclic adjustment column to deflect at a fixed angle through the driving gear, the driven gear, the limit sleeve and the limit rail column.

[0014] Preferably, through holes are vertically arranged on the rear side wall of the clothes storage frame. A reset support spring sleeve rod slidably penetrates through the through holes. The extending end of the reset support spring sleeve rod is located below the clothes storage partition for support, and a magnetically attracted ball block is arranged at the outer end of the reset support spring sleeve rod. Magnetic fixing grooves are vertically arranged on the side wall of the cyclic adjustment column. A third telescopic rod is arranged on the bottom end face of the fixed hole block. The telescopic end of the third telescopic rod is fixedly connected with a bearing seat frame, and the bearing seat on the bearing seat frame is fixedly connected with the rotation center of the bottom end face of the cyclic adjustment column. When the telescopic end of the third telescopic rod pushes the cyclic adjustment column to move downward through the bearing seat frame, several reset support spring sleeve rods on the rear surface of the clothes storage frame correspond to the magnetically attracted ball blocks and are magnetically attracted and inserted into the corresponding magnetic fixing grooves from bottom to top in sequence, so that the clothes storage partition loses the support of the reset spring sleeve rod and drops, and among several magnetically attracted ball blocks, only a single magnetically attracted ball block is magnetically connected with the magnetic fixing groove each time.

[0015] A clothes folding machine includes the above-mentioned clothes feeding device for the clothes folding machine.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The extending ends of the four reset support spring sleeve rods are cyclically separated from below the corresponding clothes storage partitions, so that the clothes storage partitions lose the support of the reset support spring sleeve rods and drop onto the extending ends of the reset support spring sleeve rods below for support. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod quickly pushes the corresponding sliding rod frame to drive the clothes storage partition to be pushed outwards towards the outside of the row plate notch, so that the clothes storage partition drops into an external storage box. The telescopic end of the first telescopic rod makes the clothes feeding partitions on both sides inside the clothes feeding frame quickly move outwards. The sliding surface layer above the clothes feeding partition reduces the sliding friction force with the clothes. The air supply pump will discharge the external air through the air guide pipe into the transfer air cavity and the clothes blowing holes in sequence. The air discharged through the clothes blowing holes can form an air isolation layer between the clothes and the clothes feeding partition, further reducing the sliding friction force between the clothes and the clothes feeding partition. After the clothes feeding partition is separated from the clothes, the clothes will drop onto the folding part for folding treatment. By repeating the above operations, the operator only needs to cyclically put the sliding rod frame into the clothes feeding frame and place the sorted clothes on the sliding rod frame correspondingly. During the folding process of the folding part of the clothes folding machine, the next piece of clothes can be sorted and placed, thereby improving the clothes folding efficiency.

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] A clothes feeding device for a clothes folding machine, comprising a folding part 1 arranged on the clothes folding machine. The folding part 1 can fold the clothes placed on it. Above the folding part 1, there is a clothes feeding frame 2. The clothes feeding frame 2 is of a U-shaped structure, and the installation height of the clothes feeding frame 2 will not affect the folding of the folding part 1. On both inner side walls of the clothes feeding frame 2, there are clothes feeding partitions 3 slidably penetrating through. The clothes feeding partitions 3 are used for temporarily storing the clothes to be folded. On both side parts of the clothes feeding frame 2, there are first telescopic rods 4 connected to the clothes feeding partitions 3. The first telescopic rod 4 can be any one of a cylinder rod and a servo electric cylinder. In this embodiment, the first telescopic rod 4 is selected as a cylinder rod, and the speed of the cylinder rod is adjusted to 500 mm / S. The cylinder rod needs to be matched with air source treatment components, a reversing valve, joints, air pipes, and cylinder connection accessories in the prior art. The above-mentioned cylinder parts and their accessories are mature products in the prior art and will not be elaborated. And the control end of the first telescopic rod 4 is connected to an external PLC controller. The telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 4 can quickly draw the clothes feeding partition 3 outwards of the clothes feeding frame 2. Due to the relatively fast withdrawal speed of the clothes feeding partition 3, the clothes located above the clothes feeding partition 3 are subjected to less guiding frictional resistance, and thus fall on the folding part 1 for folding on the premise of a relatively small deformation;

[0028] A storage frame 5 is screwed and fixedly sleeved on the edge part of the upper end surface of the clothes feeding frame 2. The storage frame 5 is also of a U-shaped structure. On the lower part of the rear side wall of the storage frame 5, there are symmetrically arranged row plate notches 6. And on the top wall inside the row plate notches 6, there are symmetrically arranged chute notches 7 along the vertical direction. Four sliding rod frames 8 are horizontally and longitudinally limited and slidably penetrating through the two chute notches 7. The sliding rod frames 8 are of a U-shaped structure. The number of the sliding rod frames 8 is adaptively adjusted according to the number of clothes to be folded that can be stored in the storage frame 5. Each single sliding rod frame 8 corresponds to one piece of clothes to be folded. On both inner ends of the sliding rod frame 8, there are storage partitions 9 welded or screwed and fixed. On the rear surface of the storage frame 5, there is a second telescopic rod 10 screwed and fixed. The second telescopic rod 10 and the rear surface of the storage frame 5 are perpendicularly arranged. The second telescopic rod 10 and the first telescopic rod 4 are both cylinder rods, and the control end of the second telescopic rod 10 is also connected to an external PLC controller. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 10 can push the lowermost storage partition 9 in the storage frame 5 out of the row plate notch 6. And a storage box is placed in advance at the rear side of the storage frame 5. After the lowermost storage partition 9 is pushed out of the row plate notch 6, it will fall into the storage box for collection. And the clothes located above the lowermost storage partition 9 will fall on the lower clothes feeding partition 3. A circulating support assembly is arranged between the inside of the storage frame 5 and the four storage partitions 9. The circulating support assembly can make the four storage partitions 9 in the storage frame 5 sequentially fall at a fixed distance towards the side of the row plate notch 6 from top to bottom, so as to improve the clothes folding efficiency.

[0029] Embodiment Two:

[0030] On the basis of the first embodiment, it is further illustrated that movable notch openings 11 are provided on both inner side walls of the clothes delivery frame 2. The clothes delivery partition plate 3 slidably penetrates through the movable notch openings 11, and the upper end surface of the clothes delivery partition plate 3 is designed as an inclined edge. The included angle between the plane where the upper end surface of the clothes delivery partition plate 3 is located and the plane where the horizontal line is located is 20°. A sliding layer 12 is adhered to the upper end surface of the clothes delivery partition plate 3. The sliding layer 12 can be selected from glass or polished steel plate, so that the clothes placed above it are easy to slide off.

[0031] Cover plate frames 13 are screwed and fixed on both side parts of the clothes delivery frame 2. The cover plate frames 13 are detachably fixed on the folding machine. The outer shell part of the first telescopic rod 4 is fixedly arranged on the cover plate frame 13. The cover plate frame 13 can cover the first telescopic rod 4 to avoid the extrusion injury caused by a person's hand accidentally touching the first telescopic rod 4. And an air supply pump 14 is arranged on the left cover plate frame 13. The air supply pump 14 is an air pump. The control end of the air supply pump 14 is connected to an external PLC controller. The air outlet side of the air supply pump 14 is connected to a duct 15 through a flow dividing valve. The duct 15 is composed of a soft PVC pipe. The duct 15 can be bent during the horizontal pushing process of the clothes delivery partition plate 3. A transfer air cavity 16 communicated with the duct 15 is arranged inside the clothes delivery partition plate 3. Blowing holes 17 extending through the upper end surface of the sliding layer 12 are arranged on the top wall of the transfer air cavity 16. The air discharged from the blowing holes 17 can reduce the frictional force between the clothes and the clothes delivery partition plate 3 during mutual sliding, so as to facilitate the clothes to be folded to slide onto the folding part 1 for folding. When the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 4 pushes the clothes delivery partition plate 3 to quickly withdraw outward from the clothes delivery frame 2, the air discharged from the air supply pump 14 passes through the duct 15, the transfer air cavity 16 and the blowing holes 17 in sequence to quickly separate the clothes from the clothes delivery partition plate 3.

[0032] Embodiment Three:

[0033] On the basis of the first embodiment, it is further illustrated that limiting notch openings 18 communicated with the top wall of the row plate notch 6 are provided on both inner side walls of the chute opening 7. Corresponding limiting blocks 19 slidably connected in the limiting notch openings 18 are arranged on the sliding rod frame 8. The arrangement of the limiting blocks 19 can limit the sliding position of the clothes storage partition plate 9. A guiding inclined plate 20 is clamped or screwed and fixed on the inner side part of the clothes storage partition plate 9. The included angle between the plane where the center line of the guiding inclined plate 20 is located and the plane where the horizontal line is located is 30°. And the inclined surface of the guiding inclined plate 20 faces the opening of the clothes storage frame 5. The inclined design of the guiding inclined plate 20 facilitates the sliding of the clothes. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 10 can push the sliding rod frame 8 corresponding to the clothes storage partition plate 9 at the lowermost part inside the clothes storage frame 5, so as to indirectly push the clothes storage partition plate 9.

[0034] Embodiment Four:

[0035] Based on the first embodiment, the cyclic support component will be further described. The cyclic support component includes fixed hole blocks 21 symmetrically arranged at the rear side of the clothes storage frame 5. A preset hole is provided on the upper end surface of the fixed hole block 21. A limit rail column 22 slidably penetrates through the fixed hole block 21. The cross section of the limit rail column 22 is a quadrilateral structure, and a limit sleeve 23 is fitted and sleeved on the top of the limit rail column 22. The cooperation of the limit rail column 22 and the limit sleeve 23 prevents relative rotational movement between them. An outer bearing hole frame 24 installed on the fixed hole block 21 is sleeved outside the limit sleeve 23. The setting of the bearing hole frame 24 facilitates the rotation of the limit sleeve 23 relative to the fixed hole block 21. A driven gear 25 is sleeved on the limit sleeve 23. A driving motor 26 is fixedly screwed on the upper end surface of the fixed hole block 21. The driving motor 26 is a servo motor in the prior art. A driving gear 27 meshed with the driven gear 25 is sleeved on the output shaft end of the driving motor 26. By the rotation of the output shaft end of the driving motor 26, the driving gear 27 and the driven gear 25 can be meshed and rotated with each other, so that the limit sleeve 23 drives the limit rail column 22 to rotate. At the same time, the control end of the driving motor 26 is connected to an external PLC controller, and a cyclic adjustment column 28 is arranged at the bottom end of the limit rail column 22. The output shaft end of the driving motor 26 drives the cyclic adjustment column 28 to deflect at a fixed angle through the driving gear 27, the driven gear 25, the limit sleeve 23 and the limit rail column 22;

[0036] Four through holes 29 are vertically arranged along the upper edge of the rear side wall of the clothes storage frame 5, and the through holes 29 are all arranged outside the chute opening 7. At the same time, the connection line formed by the centers of the four through holes 29 is arranged parallel to the chute opening 7. A reset support spring sleeve rod 30 slides through the through hole 29. The reset support spring sleeve rod 30 has a spring force towards the inside of the clothes storage frame 5. The extending end of the reset support spring sleeve rod 30 is located below the clothes storage partition 9 for support, and can support multiple clothes storage partitions 9 sliding in the clothes storage frame 5 at intervals. A magnetic receiving ball block 31 is arranged at the outer end of the reset support spring sleeve rod 30. The magnetic receiving ball block 31 is composed of a hemispherical metal iron. At the same time, an anti-rust paint is coated on the outer surface of the magnetic receiving ball block 31. Magnetic fixing grooves 32 are vertically arranged along the side wall of the circulation adjustment column 28. The magnetic fixing grooves 32 are arc-shaped groove structures. At the same time, a permanent magnet sheet is bonded to the inner arc surface of the magnetic fixing grooves 32. The magnetic fixing grooves 32 can be magnetically connected to the magnetic receiving ball blocks 31. A third telescopic rod 33 is arranged at the bottom end surface of the fixed hole block 21. The third telescopic rod 33 can select an electric push rod in mature products of the existing technology. The control end of the third telescopic rod 33 is connected to an external PLC controller. The telescopic end of the third telescopic rod 33 is fixedly connected to the bearing seat frame 34. The bearing seat on the bearing seat frame 34 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the bottom end surface of the circulation adjustment column 28. The setting of the bearing seat frame 34 can prevent the telescopic movement of the third telescopic rod 33 from being affected when the circulation adjustment column 28 is selected. When the telescopic end of the third telescopic rod 33 pushes the circulation adjustment column 28 to move downward through the bearing seat frame 34, the four reset support spring sleeve rods 30 located on the rear surface of the clothes storage frame 5 magnetically insert the corresponding magnetic receiving ball blocks 31 into the magnetic fixing grooves 32 at corresponding positions from bottom to top in sequence, so that the clothes storage partition 9 loses the support of the reset support spring sleeve rod 30 and falls. Among several magnetic receiving ball blocks 31, only a single magnetic receiving ball block 31 is magnetically connected to the magnetic fixing groove 32 each time. Specifically, the clothes storage partitions 9 from bottom to top inside the clothes storage frame 5 will fall layer by layer during the retraction and reset process of the reset support spring sleeve rod 30, so that each time a single reset support spring sleeve rod 30 retracts, one piece of clothing will fall on the clothes delivery partition 3, which is convenient for the folding part 1 of the clothes folding machine to continuously fold clothes.

[0037] The working principle is as follows: When folding clothes through the folding part 1 of the clothes folding machine, the operator first connects the power control terminals of the first telescopic rod 4, the second telescopic rod 10, the air supply pump 14, the drive motor 26, and the third telescopic rod 33 to an external PLC controller, and sequentially regulates the opening and closing states of the above components. The user first inserts the limiting block 19 on the sliding rod frame 8 into the limiting groove 18 on the inner wall of the sliding groove 7 in a corresponding manner, and makes the extending end of the reset support spring sleeve rod 30 at the uppermost part inside the clothes storage frame 5 support the placed sliding rod frame 8 to prevent it from falling. Then, the sorted clothes are placed above the clothes storage partition 9. The operator starts the telescopic end of the third telescopic rod 33 to move the circulation adjustment column 28 downward at a constant speed, so that the outer ends of the four reset support spring sleeve rods 30 from bottom to top inside the clothes storage frame 2 are sequentially magnetically attracted into the magnetic fixing grooves 32 by the magnetic ball blocks 31. During the above process, the extending ends of the four reset support spring sleeve rods 30 cycle out from under the corresponding clothes storage partitions 9, so that the clothes storage partitions 9 lose the support of the reset support spring sleeve rods 30 and fall onto the extending ends of the reset support spring sleeve rods 30 below for support. After the circulation adjustment column 28 moves down to the lowest position, through the cooperation of the output shaft end of the drive motor 26 with the driving gear 27 and the driven gear 25, the limiting sleeve 23, the limiting rail column 22, and the circulation adjustment column 28 are sequentially driven to rotate by 90°. The rotation of the circulation adjustment column 28 separates the magnetic ball blocks 31 from the magnetic fixing grooves 32, so that the four support spring sleeve rods 30 are all inserted into the clothes storage frame 5 to support the clothes storage partitions 9. After the circulation adjustment column 28 rotates by 90°, the telescopic end of the third telescopic rod 33 drives the circulation adjustment column 28 to reset. After the reset is completed, the magnetic fixing grooves 32 and the magnetic ball blocks 31 are made to correspond again by the reverse rotation of the output shaft end of the drive motor 26, which is convenient for the next cycle of use. Then, the remaining sliding rod frames 8 and the sorted clothes to be folded are sequentially placed into the clothes storage frame 2 according to the same steps above until the initially placed sliding rod frame 8 slides to the position of the discharge plate slot 6. At this time, the second telescopic rod 10 is started, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 10 quickly pushes the corresponding sliding rod frame 8 to drive the clothes storage partition 9 to be pushed outwards towards the outside of the discharge plate slot 6, so that the clothes storage partition 9 falls into the external storage box. During the above process, due to the rapid outward push of the clothes storage partition 9 and with the guiding assistance of the clothes guiding inclined plate 20 on the clothes storage partition 9, at 0.Within 5 seconds, the clothes can be separated from the clothes storage partition 9 and the clothes guiding partition 20. After separation, the unsupported clothes will fall onto the clothes feeding partition 3. Then, the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 4 retracts. The telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 4 also causes the clothes feeding partitions 3 on both sides inside the clothes feeding frame 2 to quickly move outward. The sliding surface layer 12 above the clothes feeding partition 3 reduces the sliding friction force with the clothes. During the above process, the air supply pump 14 will discharge the outside air through the air duct 15 successively from the intermediate air cavity 16 and the clothes blowing holes 17. The air discharged through the clothes blowing holes 17 can form an air isolation layer between the clothes and the clothes feeding partition 3, further reducing the sliding friction force between the clothes and the clothes feeding partition 3. And the amount of air discharged from the clothes blowing holes 17 is set so as not to blow the sorted clothes out of shape. After the clothes feeding partition 3 is separated from the clothes, the clothes will fall onto the folding part 1 for folding. Finally, after the first telescopic rod 4 and the second telescopic rod 10 contract, they will automatically reset. By repeating the above operations, the operator only needs to cyclically put the sliding rod frame 8 into the clothes feeding frame 2 and place the sorted clothes correspondingly on the sliding rod frame 8. During the folding process of the folding part 1 of the clothes folding machine, the next piece of clothes can be sorted and placed, thus improving the clothes folding efficiency.
