[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first track 11 and the second track 12 are oppositely arranged and parallel, for example, can be arranged on the side plates of the folding machine respectively, and the track can be in the form of a chute or a slide rail, as long as the first advancing beam 13 can slide back and forth relative to the first track 11 and the second track 12, which is not limited here. The front and back directions are for more clearly describing the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the folding machine loading end is taken as the front end, and the opposite end is taken as the rear end. The clothes to be folded are loaded from the loading end of the folding machine, and are moved from front to back under the driving of the loading driving device, so as to be laid on the folding table. The transmission belt 20 is annular around the first track 11 and the second track 12, that is, the transmission belt 20 is annular around the first track 11 and the second track 12 from the outside. In order to achieve better conveying effect, the transmission belt 20 is in a tension state, and at least a part of the transmission belt 20 is tightly attached to the outside of the first track 11 and the outside of the second track 12. A plurality of turning wheels 21 are arranged on the first advancing beam 13, and the part of the transmission belt 20 between the first track 11 and the second track 12 passes through the inside of the plurality of turning wheels 21, so as to be pulled to the first advancing beam 13 by the plurality of turning wheels 21. The transmission belt 20 is tightly attached to the front and back sides of the first advancing beam 13 under the tension and guiding action of the plurality of turning wheels 21. The first driving motor 31 is used to drive the part of the transmission belt 20 located on the first track 11 to move, and the second driving motor 32 is used to drive the part of the transmission belt 20 located on the second track 12 to move. The first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 are slidably connected to the first advancing beam 13, and are respectively drivingly connected to the part of the transmission belt 20 located on the front side of the first advancing beam 13 and the part of the transmission belt 20 located on the rear side of the first advancing beam 13. In this way, when the first driving motor 31 and the second driving motor 32 drive the transmission belt 20 to rotate in the same direction, the length of the part of the transmission belt 20 between the first driving motor 31 and the second driving motor 32 remains unchanged, the first advancing beam 13 remains stationary relative to the first track 11 and the second track 12, the parts of the transmission belt 20 on the front and back sides of the first advancing beam 13 move in opposite directions along the first advancing beam 13, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 is adjusted; when the first driving motor 31 and the second driving motor 32 drive the transmission belt 20 to rotate in opposite directions, the length of the part of the transmission belt 20 between the first driving motor 31 and the second driving motor 32 changes, and the first advancing beam 13 slides back and forth along the first track 11 and the second track 12 under the driving of the transmission belt 20.

[0048] Optionally, the loading driving device for the clothes folding machine further comprises a first transmission wheel 35 and a transmission deflection wheel, wherein the first transmission wheel 35 is drivingly connected to the first driving motor 31 and arranged at the rear end of the first track 11; the second transmission wheel 36 is drivingly connected to the second driving motor 32 and arranged at the rear end of the second track 12. On the one hand, the first transmission wheel 35 and the second transmission wheel play a role of deflection, so that the transmission belt 20 can smoothly turn at the rear end of the first track 11 and the rear end of the second track 12; on the other hand, the first transmission wheel 35 is drivingly connected to the first driving motor 31, and the second transmission wheel 36 is drivingly connected to the second driving motor 32, and the first transmission wheel 35 and the second transmission wheel 36 are used to drive the transmission belt to move.

[0049] Optionally, the plurality of deflection wheels 21 comprises a first deflection wheel 211, a second deflection wheel 212, a third deflection wheel 213 and a fourth deflection wheel 214, wherein the transmission belt 20 turns from the inner side of the first track 11 through the first deflection wheel 211 and then tightly adheres to the rear side of the first running beam 13; the transmission belt 20 turns from the rear side of the first running beam 13 through the second deflection wheel 212 and then tightly adheres to the inner side of the second track 12; the transmission belt 20 turns from the inner side of the second track 12 through the third deflection wheel 213 and then tightly adheres to the front side of the first running beam 13; the transmission belt 20 turns from the front side of the first running beam 13 through the fourth deflection wheel 214 and then tightly adheres to the inner side of the first track 11.

[0051] When the first driving motor 31 drives the first driving wheel 35 to rotate counterclockwise and the second driving motor 32 drives the second driving wheel 36 to rotate clockwise, the part of the transmission belt 20 between the first driving wheel 35 and the first turning wheel 211 moves upward, the end of the first traveling beam 13 at the first turning wheel 211 is subjected to an upward force, the part of the transmission belt 20 between the second driving wheel 36 and the second turning wheel 212 moves upward, the end of the first traveling beam 13 at the second turning wheel 212 is subjected to an upward force, and the first traveling beam 13 moves upward. Here, the upward movement is shown as upward movement in the figure, and is backward movement in the folding machine.

[0052] Similarly, when the first driving motor 31 drives the first driving wheel 35 to rotate clockwise and the second driving motor 32 drives the second driving wheel 36 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously with the first driving wheel, the part of the transmission belt 20 between the first driving wheel 35 and the second driving wheel 36 moves to the right, driving the first clamping part 41 to move to the right; the part of the transmission belt 20 between the fourth driving wheel and the third driving wheel moves to the left, driving the second clamping part 42 to move to the left, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 decreases.

The length of the first traveling beam 13 cannot be changed, and after the forces on the two ends of the first traveling beam 13 are partially canceled out, the first traveling beam 13 moves upward. The forces on the two ends of the first traveling beam 13 act on the transmission belt 20, causing the entire transmission belt 20 to rotate counterclockwise around the first track 11 and the second track 12. The part of the transmission belt 20 between the first transmission wheel 35 and the second transmission wheel 36 moves to the left, driving the first clamping part 41 to move to the left. The part of the transmission belt 20 between the fourth transmission wheel and the third transmission wheel moves to the right, driving the first clamping part 41 to move to the right, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 increases.

[0055] Similarly, when the first driving motor 31 drives the first transmission wheel 35 to rotate counterclockwise, the second driving motor 32 drives the second transmission wheel 36 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second driving motor 32 is faster than the first driving motor 31, the first traveling beam 13 moves downward, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 increases.

[0057] Similarly, when the first driving motor 31 drives the first transmission wheel 35 to rotate counterclockwise, the second driving motor 32 drives the second transmission wheel 36 to rotate clockwise, and the second driving motor 32 is faster than the first driving motor 31, the first traveling beam 13 moves upward, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 decreases.

[0058] Similarly, when the first driving motor 31 drives the first transmission wheel 35 to rotate clockwise, the second driving motor 32 drives the second transmission wheel 36 to rotate counterclockwise, and the first driving motor 31 is faster than the second driving motor 32, the first traveling beam 13 moves downward, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 decreases.

[0059] Similarly, when the first drive motor 31 drives the first transmission wheel 35 to rotate clockwise, the second drive motor 32 drives the second transmission wheel 36 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second drive motor 32 is faster than the first drive motor 31, the first travel beam 13 moves downward, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 increases.

[0060] Similarly, when the first drive motor 31 drives the first transmission wheel 35 to rotate clockwise, the second drive motor 32 drives the second transmission wheel 36 to rotate clockwise, and the first drive motor 31 is faster than the second drive motor 32, the first travel beam 13 moves upward, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 increases.

[0061] Similarly, when the first drive motor 31 drives the first transmission wheel 35 to rotate clockwise, the second drive motor 32 drives the second transmission wheel 36 to rotate clockwise, and the second drive motor 32 is faster than the first drive motor 31, the first travel beam 13 moves downward, and the distance between the first clamping part 41 and the second clamping part 42 increases.
