A third support frame is fixedly mounted on the top of the second support frame.

[0024] A method of using the adjustable fabric folding machine includes the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: Start the first motor to drive the symmetrical threaded rod to rotate. The symmetrical threaded rod drives the two n-shaped plates to move in opposite directions. The n-shaped plates drive the first slider to slide along the first slide rail. The n-shaped plates drive the first horizontal shaft, the first connecting block and the L-shaped pressure plate to move through the connecting support block, so as to adjust the distance between the two end pressing components.

[0026] Step 2: Rotate the handwheel to drive the threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod drives the first movable plate to slide along the guide rail assembly. The first movable plate drives the first rotating column to move. The first rotating column drives the left end of the sliding rod to move up and down. Then, by adjusting the position of the first rotating column and the sliding rod, the sliding rod is made parallel before and after adjustment.

[0027] Step 3: Place the support plate on the support wheel. The chain conveyor assembly drives the support wheel to rotate, and the support wheel moves the support plate into the inside of the frame.

[0028] Step 4: The support plate moves to contact the baffle and presses against the baffle. The baffle drives the slide rod to move to the left, and the baffle presses against the spring. The elastic reaction force of the spring buffers the baffle, and the baffle buffers the support plate. When the insertion hole and the insertion block are aligned vertically, the insertion hole and the insertion block are inserted, and the positioning of the support plate is completed.

[0029] Step 5: Restart the guide rail scissor lift bracket to move the support plate upwards until it separates from the support plate conveying assembly and moves to the highest position;

[0030] Step 6: Start the second motor. The second motor drives the synchronous pulley to rotate, which in turn drives the horizontal connecting shaft to rotate. The horizontal connecting shaft then drives another synchronous pulley to rotate, which in turn drives other synchronous pulleys to rotate via the synchronous belt. The synchronous belt drives the second slider to slide back and forth along the second guide rail. The second slider drives the second movable plate to move, which in turn drives the second rotating column to move. The second rotating column drives the sliding rod to slide along the first rotating column and rotate it. The second rotating column drives the side plate, the first guide plate, and the second guide plate to move and rotate. The first and second guide plates move to the left or right until they engage with the L-shaped pressure plates on the left and right sides. The L-shaped pressure plates hold the fabric in place, achieving reciprocating folding of the fabric. The position sensor detects the position of the second movable plate when it moves to the far right and transmits the data to an external controller to determine whether a preset distance has been reached.

[0031] Step 7: Stop the adjustable feeding assembly, start the lifting assembly to move the support plate downwards until it contacts the support plate conveying assembly, and then convey the support plate to the next station through the support plate conveying assembly.

[0032] Beneficial effects

[0033] In one aspect, during the fabric flattening and stacking process, the position of the end pressing component can be adjusted according to the required fabric folding width. At the same time, the adjustable fabric feeding component can be adjusted to ensure that the sliding rod is parallel before and after adjustment and is always at a fixed angle with the horizontal plane. This ensures that the side plate, the first guide plate, and the second guide plate can be adapted to the end pressing component during movement, thereby achieving the purpose of folding in multiple sizes.

[0034] In another aspect of the present invention, the stacked fabric can be conveyed out by the support plate conveying assembly, thereby achieving rapid unloading. Then, the next empty support plate can be placed on the support plate conveying assembly and moved into the frame, which can quickly complete the switching, which is very convenient.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0051] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0052] Example 1

[0053] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-12 An adjustable fabric folding machine includes a frame 1, and further includes:

[0054] A lifting assembly 2 is used to drive the support plate 8 upward to separate from the support plate conveying assembly 9 and to drive the support plate 8 downward to contact the support plate conveying assembly 9; the lifting assembly 2 is located inside the frame 1;

[0055] A buffer assembly 3 is used to provide elastic cushioning for the support plate 8 when it moves to the leftmost position; the buffer assembly 3 is installed at the left end of the frame 1.

[0056] Two sets of end pressing components 4 are used to press the left and right folds of the fabric. The two sets of end pressing components 4 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the frame 1.

[0057] A crimping adjustment assembly used to adjust the position and spacing of the two sets of end crimping assemblies 4;

[0058] An adjustable fabric feeding assembly 5 is used to adjust the tilt angle of the sliding rod 56, side plate 511, first guide plate 515 and second guide plate 516 according to the position of the two sets of end pressing assemblies 4, and to drive the sliding rod 56, side plate 511, first guide plate 515 and second guide plate 516 to move; the upper end of the sliding rod 56 is slidably connected to the movable end of the adjustable fabric feeding assembly 5, and the lower end of the sliding rod 56 is fixedly connected to the side plate 511; the first guide plate 515 is located above the second guide plate 516, and the front and rear sides of the first guide plate 515 and the second guide plate 516 are both fixedly connected to the side plate 511;

[0059] Two sets of third support frames 6 are respectively installed on the top of the adjustable fabric feeding assembly 5; a guide roller 7 for supporting and feeding the fabric is rotatably installed between the two sets of third support frames 6; after the fabric passes around the guide roller 7, it passes between the first guide plate 515 and the second guide plate 516.

[0060] And a support plate conveying assembly 9 for supporting the movement and unloading of the support plate 8;

[0061] In use, first adjust the positions of the two end pressing components 4 according to the required fabric folding width; then, according to the position of the end pressing components 4, adjust the tilt angles of the sliding rod 56, side plate 511, first guide plate 515, and second guide plate 516 so that the sliding rod 56 is parallel before and after adjustment and always at a fixed angle with the horizontal plane, ensuring that the side plate 511, first guide plate 515, and second guide plate 516 can be matched with the end pressing components 4 during movement; then place the support plate 8 on the support plate conveying component 9, and move the support plate 8 into the inside of the frame 1 through the support plate conveying component 9. When the support plate 8 moves to the leftmost position, the buffer component 3 provides elastic buffering for the support plate 8, which helps to protect and limit the support plate 8; then start the lifting component 2 to drive... The support plate 8 moves upward until it separates from the support plate conveying assembly 9 and moves to its highest position. During the fabric stacking process, the lifting assembly 2 drives the support plate 8 to move downward intermittently to ensure that the top height of the folded fabric is basically at the same position. The adjustable fabric feeding assembly 5 is activated to drive the sliding rod 56, side plate 511, first guide plate 515 and second guide plate 516 to move. During the reciprocating movement of the side plate 511, first guide plate 515 and second guide plate 516, they cooperate with the end pressing assembly 4. The end pressing assemblies 4 on both sides press the left and right folds of the fabric to achieve layer-by-layer fabric stacking. After the fabric is stacked, the adjustable fabric feeding assembly 5 is stopped, and the lifting assembly 2 is activated to drive the support plate 8 downward until it contacts the support plate conveying assembly 9. The support plate conveying assembly 9 then conveys the support plate 8 to the next work station.

[0062] In one aspect, during the fabric flattening and stacking process, the position of the end pressing component 4 can be adjusted according to the required fabric folding width. At the same time, the adjustable fabric feeding component 5 can be adjusted to ensure that the sliding rod 56 is parallel before and after adjustment and is always at a fixed angle to the horizontal plane. This ensures that the side plate 511, the first guide plate 515, and the second guide plate 516 can be adapted to the end pressing component 4 during movement, thereby achieving the purpose of folding in multiple sizes.

[0063] In another aspect of the present invention, the stacked fabric can be conveyed out by the support plate conveying assembly 9 to achieve rapid unloading. Then, the next empty support plate 8 can be placed on the support plate conveying assembly 9 and moved into the frame 1, which can quickly complete the switching, which is very convenient.

[0064] Please see Figure 7 The lifting assembly 2 includes a guide rail scissor lift bracket 21, a push plate 22, a plug block 23, and a socket 24.

The bottom two ends of the support plate 8 are provided with sockets 24 that cooperate with the plug blocks 23 for insertion.

[0065] After the support plate 8 moves into the frame 1, it is buffered and limited by the buffer component 3. When the insertion hole 24 corresponds to the insertion block 23, the insertion hole 24 and the insertion block 23 are inserted. At this time, the positioning of the support plate 8 is completed, and the stability of the support plate 8 is ensured.

[0066] Please see Figure 8 The buffer assembly 3 includes a slide rod 31, a baffle 32, a horizontal support plate 33, and a spring 34.

[0067] The support plate 8 moves to contact and press against the baffle 32. The baffle 32 drives the slide rod 31 to move to the left. The baffle 32 presses against the spring 34. The elastic reaction force of the spring 34 buffers the baffle 32. The baffle 32 buffers the support plate 8 to prevent damage to the support plate 8. At the same time, the baffle 32 is located on the left side of the support plate 8 and can also limit the support plate 8 to prevent it from falling.

The second guide rails 513 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the frame 1. The top of the frame 1 is fixedly connected to the second support frame 52, and the left and right inner walls of the second support frame 52 are fixedly connected to the guide rail assembly 51. The left and right ends of the first movable plate 54 are slidably connected to the guide rail assembly 51, and the first movable plate 54 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 55.

Two sets of synchronous pulleys 59 are rotatably mounted on the front and rear inner walls of the frame 1. The two sets of synchronous pulleys 59 are connected by a synchronous belt 58. A horizontal connecting shaft 510 is fixedly connected between the two corresponding synchronous pulleys 59 on the right side. A second motor 518 is fixedly connected to the right end of the frame 1. The drive end of the second motor 518 is fixedly connected to the shaft of one of the synchronous pulleys 59 on the right side. The third support frame 6 is fixedly mounted on the top of the second support frame 52.

[0076] Rotating the handwheel 53 drives the threaded rod 55 to rotate, which in turn drives the first movable plate 54 to slide along the guide rail assembly 51. The first movable plate 54 drives the first rotating column 57 to move, which in turn drives the left end of the sliding rod 56 to move up and down. By adjusting the positions of the first rotating column 57 and the sliding rod 56, the sliding rod 56 is made parallel before and after adjustment and always at a fixed angle to the horizontal plane. This ensures that the first guide plate 515 and the second guide plate 516 can be inserted and fitted with the L-shaped pressure plate 47 at the same angle during the movement.

[0077] The second motor 518 is started, which drives the synchronous pulley 59 to rotate. The synchronous pulley 59 drives the horizontal connecting shaft 510 to rotate, and the horizontal connecting shaft 510 drives another synchronous pulley 59 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the other synchronous pulleys 59 to rotate via the synchronous belt 58.

The first guide plate 515 and the second guide plate 516 move to the left or right to engage with the L-shaped pressure plates 47 on the left and right sides. The L-shaped pressure plates 47 press down the fabric, realizing the reciprocating folding of the fabric. The position sensor 48 senses the position of the second movable plate 517 when it moves to the far right and transmits the information to an external controller to determine whether a preset distance has been reached. This avoids the second movable plate 517 being too far from the position sensor 48 due to improper adjustment of the adjustable fabric feeding assembly 5. The present invention can achieve folding of multiple sizes.

[0078] In some embodiments, the present invention also discloses a method of using an adjustable fabric stacking machine, comprising the following steps:

[0079] Step 1: Start the first motor 41 to drive the symmetrical threaded rod 43 to rotate. The symmetrical threaded rod 43 drives the two n-shaped plates 42 to move in opposite directions. The n-shaped plates 42 drive the first slider 410 to slide along the first slide rail 44. The n-shaped plates 42 drive the first horizontal shaft 46, the first connecting block 49 and the L-shaped pressure plate 47 to move through the connecting support block 411, so as to adjust the distance between the two end pressing components 4.

[0080] Step 2: Rotate the handwheel 53 to drive the threaded rod 55 to rotate. The threaded rod 55 drives the first movable plate 54 to slide along the guide rail assembly 51. The first movable plate 54 drives the first rotating column 57 to move. The first rotating column 57 drives the left end of the sliding rod 56 to move up and down. Then, by adjusting the position of the first rotating column 57 and the sliding rod 56, the sliding rod 56 is made parallel before and after adjustment.

[0081] Step 3: Place the support plate 8 on the support wheel 93. The chain conveyor assembly 91 drives the support wheel 93 to rotate, and the support wheel 93 drives the support plate 8 to move into the inside of the frame 1.

[0082] Step 4: The support plate 8 moves to contact and press against the baffle 32. The baffle 32 drives the slide rod 31 to move to the left. The baffle 32 presses against the spring 34. The elastic reaction force of the spring 34 buffers the baffle 32, and the baffle 32 buffers the support plate 8. When the insertion hole 24 and the insertion block 23 are aligned vertically, the insertion hole 24 and the insertion block 23 are inserted, and the positioning of the support plate 8 is completed.

[0083] Step 5: Restart the guide rail scissor lift bracket 21 to move the support plate 8 upward until it separates from the support plate conveying assembly 9 and moves to the highest position;

[0084] Step 6: Start the second motor 518. The second motor 518 drives the synchronous pulley 59 to rotate, the synchronous pulley 59 drives the horizontal connecting shaft 510 to rotate, and the horizontal connecting shaft 510 drives another synchronous pulley 59 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the other synchronous pulleys 59 to rotate via the synchronous belt 58. The synchronous belt 58 drives the second slider 514 to slide back and forth along the second guide rail 513. The second slider 514 drives the second movable plate 517 to move, the second movable plate 517 drives the second rotating column 512 to move, and the second rotating column 512 drives the sliding rod 56 to slide along the first rotating column 57 and drive the first rotating column 57 to rotate. 2. The side plate 511, the first guide plate 515, and the second guide plate 516 are moved and rotated. The first guide plate 515 and the second guide plate 516 move to the left or right to engage with the L-shaped pressure plates 47 on the left and right sides. The L-shaped pressure plates 47 press down the fabric to achieve reciprocating folding of the fabric. The position sensor 48 senses the position of the second movable plate 517 when it moves to the far right and transmits the data to the external controller to determine whether the preset distance has been reached. This avoids the adjustable fabric feeding assembly 5 from being improperly adjusted, which could cause the distance between the second movable plate 517 and the position sensor 48 to be too large or too small. This invention can achieve folding of multiple sizes.

[0085] Step 7: Stop the adjustable feeding assembly 5, start the lifting assembly 2 to move the support plate 8 downward until it contacts the support plate conveying assembly 9, and convey the support plate 8 to the next station through the support plate conveying assembly 9.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
