Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laundry drying and hanging systems, and in particular to an automatic integration and dispersion system and method for laundry, which is commonly used in laundry drying machines or other laundry hanging mechanisms. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasing tension of modern living space and the pursuit of higher quality of life, the traditional way of drying clothes has not met the needs of modern families, especially in limited space or unfavorable weather conditions. The development of drying equipment aims to provide more convenient and efficient drying solutions, while overcoming the limitations of natural drying.

[0003] The existing drying equipment in the market mainly includes electric drying machines, hand-operated drying machines and out-drying machines. The basic function of these products is to hang clothes through multiple hanging holes on the rod, achieving drying. However, these traditional drying equipment has some common limitations:

[0004] Convenient operation: users need to manually move clothes to each hanging hole when drying or collecting clothes, which is time-consuming and laborious, especially when drying a large number of clothes.

[0005] Low space utilization efficiency: the traditional drying rod or drying rod assembly is fixed and cannot be adjusted flexibly according to the actual drying needs, resulting in low utilization efficiency of drying space.

[0006] Energy consumption: for drying machines with air drying or drying function, due to the dispersion and fixation of clothes, more wind or heat energy needs to be provided to achieve drying effect, which undoubtedly increases energy consumption.

[0007] In view of the above problems, some improved drying equipment has been proposed. For example, patent CN208701375U discloses a drying machine hanging hole mechanism and drying rod assembly, which realizes the dispersion and folding of clothes through the cooperation of transmission belt and rotating wheel, improves the efficiency of drying and the use efficiency of functional modules. Patent CN208072044U proposes an electric drying machine with adjustable drying rack position, which realizes flexible adjustment of the drying rack position through the cooperation of the telescopic bracket and the control system, facilitating user operation.

[0008] In addition, patent CN216947533U proposes a hanging device and drying machine that can automatically position, which realizes the automatic positioning and folding of the clothes rack through the cooperation of the flexible rope and the hanging structure, further improving the automation degree of drying.

[0009] Although these technologies provide some improvements to drying equipment, there is still room for further optimization and innovation.

[0010] For example, in patent CN208701375U, the transmission belt is fixedly connected with the hanging hole assembly, and the transmission system and the hanging hole assembly cannot be separated, so that the transmission system must be arranged on the drying rod, which not only increases the weight and volume of the drying rod, but also is not conducive to the arrangement of the power mechanism for driving the transmission. This problem also exists in patents CN208072044U and CN216947533U.

[0011] In addition, in patent CN208701375U, when clothes are hung on the hanging hole assembly, the transmission belt is subjected to downward force, and it is difficult to be flat, thereby causing system operation failure. In patents CN208072044U and CN216947533U, when clothes are hung, the gravity acts on the rope, which also causes the rope to run not smoothly and be easily damaged due to load.

[0012] Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, while the clothes hangers are automatically folded and dispersed, how to further optimize the clothes drying equipment, improve the lightness level of the clothes drying assembly, reduce energy consumption, improve the safety of equipment use and the stability of equipment operation are problems to be solved in the current development of clothes drying equipment technology.

[0013] The present application is based on the existing technology, and the problems are further studied, and a new clothes hanging system is proposed, which aims to realize a more optimized, more stable and more energy-saving clothes hanging solution to meet the diversified needs of modern families for clothes drying equipment. SUMMARY

[0014] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a clothes automatic integration and dispersion system and method.

[0015] The system can electrically drive multiple clothes hangers to be integrated and dispersed to one side, reducing the tediousness of manual operation and improving the efficiency of clothes collection and drying. In the system, the driving assembly and the hanging assembly are independent of each other and can interact to realize integration and dispersion, or can be separated to realize independent lifting of the hanging assembly, thereby improving the simplicity and lightness of the hanging assembly, making the overall structure more optimized, more stable and more energy-saving.

[0016] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is: a clothes automatic integration and dispersion system: comprising a host and a hanging assembly, the hanging assembly being connected to the host in a lifting manner;

[0017] The hanging assembly comprises a rod-shaped body extending linearly along the length direction of the host and a plurality of hanging pieces for hanging clothes;

[0018] A power conveying belt and a conveying motor are arranged in the host along the length direction, and the conveying motor drives the power conveying belt to reciprocate transversely.

[0019] The power conveying belt is provided with a pushing member which moves with the power conveying belt and acts on the hanging member of the first sequence;

[0020] The rod-shaped body is provided with a sliding groove which is consistent with the extending direction of the rod-shaped body, and the hanging member is movably arranged on the rod-shaped body along the sliding groove;

[0021] The adjacent hanging members are connected by connecting ropes to form a mutual restraint sequence, and the pushing member is used to converge and disperse the hanging members in the raised state of the hanging assembly;

[0022] In the first state, the pushing member is located on the first side of the hanging member of the first sequence, and the pushing member is used to converge the plurality of hanging members;

[0023] In the second state, the pushing member is switched to the second side of the hanging member of the first sequence, and the pushing member is used to disperse the plurality of hanging members.

[0024] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is that after the hanging assembly is driven to descend, the power conveying belt moves to change the position of the pushing member so that when the hanging assembly is raised again, the pushing member is switched to the other side of the hanging member of the first sequence.

[0025] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is that the connecting ropes are connected to the body, and the lengths of the connecting ropes between the adjacent two hanging members are equal so that the hanging members are equally distributed on the rod-shaped body after being dispersed.

[0026] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is that the pushing member comprises a downwardly extending pushing part, the body of the hanging member of the first sequence is provided with a protruding rod extending towards the lower side of the mounting groove, and when the pushing member approaches the hanging member of the first sequence, the pushing part abuts against the protruding rod to exert a transverse pushing force.

[0027] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is that the sliding groove of the rod-shaped body is provided with a sliding groove opening on the second side, and the hanging member moves out of the sliding groove opening to leave the rod-shaped body.

[0028] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is that the clothes automatic integration and dispersion method comprises the following steps:

[0029] Step A: When the conveying motor drives the power conveying belt to move in the first direction, the pushing member moves from the first side of the main machine to the second side and pushes the adjacent hanging member of the first sequence.

[0030] Step B: the first hanging piece of the sequence moves along the chute and contacts the adjacent hanging piece, and after the two are folded, it continues to move towards the second side, and gradually pushes the subsequent hanging pieces of the sequence towards the second side to fold the multiple hanging pieces of the sequence to the second side of the main machine;

[0031] Step C: the pushing piece switches to the other side of the first hanging piece of the sequence;

[0032] Step D: the conveying motor drives the power conveying belt to move in the second direction, so that the pushing piece pushes the first hanging piece of the sequence towards the first side, and the first hanging piece of the sequence gradually drives the subsequent hanging pieces of the sequence to move towards the first side through the connecting rope to disperse the hanging pieces.

[0033] The preferred technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is that step C includes sub-step C1 and sub-step C2.

[0034] Sub-step C1: after the hanging assembly is driven to descend, the power conveying belt moves, and the pushing piece moves towards the second side.

[0035] Sub-step C2: after the hanging assembly is driven to ascend again, the pushing piece switches to the second side of the first hanging piece of the sequence relative to the position of the hanging piece.

[0036] In sub-step C1, during the descending process of the hanging assembly, the conveying motor continues to drive the power conveying belt to move in the first direction until the pushing piece moves to the limit position on the second side of the main machine, the pushing piece acts on the limit switch on the second side of the main machine, and the conveying motor stops running.

[0037] In sub-step C2, after the hanging assembly is driven to ascend again, the conveying motor drives the power conveying belt to move in the second direction, so that the pushing piece moves in the first direction to switch to the other side of the first hanging piece of the sequence.

[0038] In sub-step C2, when the hanging assembly is driven to ascend to the limit position again, the conveying motor automatically reverses to drive the power conveying belt to move in the second direction by receiving the signal of the control unit.

[0039] After step D, the hanging assembly descends again, the power conveying belt continues to run to drive the pushing piece to move towards the first side until the pushing piece moves to the limit position on the first side of the main machine, the pushing piece acts on the limit switch on the first side of the main machine, and the conveying motor stops running.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the advantages of:

[0041] 1. The power transmission belt and the transmission motor are completely separated from the clothes-hanging assembly, avoiding the problems caused by the fact that the transmission system must be arranged on the drying rod in the prior art. This separated design not only reduces the weight and volume of the drying rod, but also makes the power driving mechanism more flexible, improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0042] 2. The hanging component is arranged on a rigid rod-shaped body, and the hanging load is not directly applied to the power transmission belt and the connecting rope, greatly avoiding the load of the driving assembly and the operation obstacles of the driving assembly, prolonging the service life of the system. Due to the separated transmission system and the optimized load design, the power transmission belt will not be deformed or blocked due to the gravity of the clothes, ensuring smooth operation of the system.

[0043] 3. Because of the separated design, the hanging assembly can be arbitrarily raised and lowered without being affected by the driving assembly, making it more convenient to hang and take off the clothes, improving the user experience. In addition, due to the separation of the transmission system and the hanging assembly, the maintenance and upgrading of the system are also more convenient and fast. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0054] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the description is merely descriptive, exemplary, and should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of protection of the present application.

The terms "first" and "second" are merely for the convenience of understanding and have no other directional meaning, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0057] The present embodiment provides a clothes automatic integration and dispersion system, which is specifically applied to a clothes drying machine in the present embodiment, but it should be clear that this is not the only application mode of the clothes automatic integration and dispersion system provided in the present embodiment, and it can also be applied to various clothes hanging application scenarios such as automatic laundries and electric dressing rooms. Even clothes are only environmental features, and the system can be applied to any system that needs to realize object hanging.

[0058] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 The clothes automatic integration and dispersion system includes a main machine 1 and a hanging assembly 2, the main machine 1 is generally fixed on the ceiling of a building, and the hanging assembly 2 is connected to the main machine 1 in a liftable manner.

[0059] As shown in Figure 1 ,2 As shown, the hanging assembly 2 comprises a rod-shaped body 21 extending linearly along the length direction of the main machine 1 and a plurality of hanging members 22 for hanging clothes, the rod-shaped body 21 is provided with a sliding groove H consistent with the extending direction thereof, the hanging members 22 are movably arranged on the rod-shaped body 21 along the sliding groove H in the transverse direction, and adjacent hanging members 22 are connected by a connecting rope S to form a sequence of mutual restraint. Each hanging member 22 can be moved along the sliding groove H to make the hanging members 22 close to each other to implement integrated hanging, or the hanging members 22 are dispersed from each other to implement dispersed hanging.

[0060] And this integration and dispersion is driven by a driving assembly. As shown, the driving assembly comprises a control unit, a power transmission belt 31, a transmission motor and a poking member 32. Specifically, the power transmission belt 31 and the transmission motor are arranged in the main machine 1 along the length direction, the transmission motor drives the power transmission belt 31 to reciprocate transversely, and the poking member 32 is fixedly arranged on the power transmission belt 31 and used to move along the length direction of the main machine 1 and act on the first hanging member 22 of the sequence. Figures 1-3

[0061] In the raised state of the hanging assembly 2, the poking member 32 is used to close and disperse the hanging members 22. As shown, in a first state, the poking member 32 is located at a first side of the first hanging member 22 of the sequence, and the poking member 32 is used to close the plurality of hanging members 22 to each other. As shown, in a second state, the position of the poking member 32 is switched relative to the hanging members 22 and located at a second side of the first hanging member 22 of the sequence, and the poking member 32 is used to disperse the plurality of hanging members 22 from each other. Figure 4 5 Figure 7 8

[0062] The driving assembly of the embodiment for closing and dispersing the hanging members 22 is arranged in the main machine 1, and a separate design of the driving assembly and the hanging assembly 2 is adopted, and the hanging assembly 2 is connected to the main machine 1 in a lifting manner. This design makes the driving assembly, especially the power transmission belt 31 and the transmission motor, completely separated from the assembly for hanging clothes, avoiding the problem that the transmission system must be arranged on the drying rod in the conventional technology. This separated design not only reduces the weight and volume of the drying rod, but also makes the electric driving mechanism more flexible, improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the system.

[0063] ​​​​​In the traditional technology, the drive belt or the suspension rope is directly subjected to the gravity of the suspended clothes, resulting in an increased load of the drive belt or the suspension rope, poor operation and even damage. In the embodiment, the suspension member 22 is arranged on the rigid rod-shaped body 21, the suspension load is not directly applied to the power transmission belt 31 and the connecting rope S, and the folding and dispersing operation of the suspension member 22 is realized by the design that the actuator 32 moves with the power transmission belt 31 and acts on the suspension member 22. This design greatly avoids the load of the driving assembly, avoids the operation obstacle of the driving assembly, and prolongs the service life of the system.

[0064] Due to the adoption of the separated drive system and the optimized load design, the technical scheme of the embodiment is more stable and reliable in operation. The power transmission belt 31 will not be deformed or blocked due to the gravity of the clothes, ensuring smooth operation of the system.

[0065] Meanwhile, due to the separated design, the suspension assembly 2 is arbitrarily lifted and lowered without being affected by the driving assembly, and the clothes can be more conveniently hung and taken down, improving the user experience. In addition, due to the separation of the drive system and the suspension assembly 2, the maintenance and upgrading of the system are more convenient and fast. Of course, the advantages of the scheme are not limited to this, and other advantages based on the technical structure itself will not be further described here, and those skilled in the art can know the advantages of the embodiment relative to the traditional technology according to experience and common sense and practice of the scheme.

[0066] Based on the above system, the embodiment provides a clothes automatic integration and dispersion method, which utilizes the clothes automatic integration and dispersion system and at least includes the following steps:

[0067] As shown in Figure 3 , 4 , step A: when the power transmission belt 31 driven by the conveying motor moves in the first direction, the actuator 32 moves from the first side of the main machine 1 to the second side and pushes the adjacent suspension member 22 at the first level of the sequence.

[0068] As shown in Figure 3 , 5 , step B: the suspension member 22 at the first level of the sequence moves along the sliding groove H and abuts against the adjacent suspension member 22, and after the two are folded, it continues to move to the second side, and gradually pushes the suspension members 22 at the subsequent levels of the sequence to the second side to fold the multiple suspension members 22 of the sequence to the second side of the main machine 1.

[0069] As shown in Figure 3 , 6 , 7, step C: the actuator 32 switches to the other side of the suspension member 22 at the first level of the sequence.

[0070] As shown in Figure 3 , 8As shown, step D: the power conveyor 31 is driven by the motor to move in the second direction, so that the pusher 32 pushes the first hanging component 22 in the first side, and the first hanging component 22 gradually drives the subsequent hanging components 22 to move in the first side through the connecting rope S to disperse the hanging components 22.

[0071] Through steps A-D, the system significantly reduces the time and labor of manually sorting clothes through automated mechanical operation. The continuous execution of steps A to D enables clothes to be quickly and orderly integrated from one side to the other and then dispersed back to the original or designated location, greatly improving the efficiency of sorting clothes.

[0072] In the integration stage (steps A to B), the clothes are closely arranged and folded to the second side of the main machine 1, enabling quick collection of clothes and interfacing with other clothes collection equipment to achieve fast clothes into the cabinet. In the dispersion stage (steps C to D), the clothes can be accurately dispersed to the designated location according to the needs, further optimizing the layout and management of the hanging area. For home users, the automatic integration and dispersion of clothes can simplify daily chores and save time; for commercial laundries or hotels and other places, it can significantly improve service quality and efficiency and enhance customer satisfaction.

[0073] From the hardware point of view, as shown in Figure 1 , 2 The main machine 1 includes a transverse embedding slot M, and the rod-shaped body 21 enters the embedding slot M after the hanging assembly 2 rises. This design of embedding the rod-shaped body 21 in the transverse embedding slot M after the hanging assembly 2 rises can effectively fix the position of the hanging assembly 2, preventing it from shaking or deviating during work, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the entire system. The stable structural design helps to reduce noise and vibration caused by movement, improving the user's experience. When the hanging assembly 2 is completely embedded in the embedding slot M, the entire system presents a neat and orderly appearance, improving the overall aesthetic of the home or work environment.

[0074] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the main machine 1 is provided with a transverse mounting slot N, and the power conveyor 31 is arranged in the mounting slot N. The two ends of the mounting slot N are provided with rollers, and the power conveyor 31 is arranged in a ring shape up and down through the rollers. The pusher 32 is arranged on the lower side of the power conveyor 31. Preferably, the rollers are arranged in a wheel disc, and the power conveyor 31 passes into the wheel disc 33 to pass around the rollers. The arrangement of the wheel disc 33 is beneficial to the installation and maintenance of the power conveyor 31, and plays a limiting role for the power conveyor 31 to avoid disengagement of the power conveyor 31 from the rollers.

[0075] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the power transmission belt 31 is a belt with a tooth structure on the inner side, and the roller is a gear meshing with the power transmission belt 31, so as to realize the close cooperation of the two, so that the conveying is more smooth.

[0076] Preferably, as Figures 1-2 As shown, the mounting groove N and the embedded groove M are arranged side by side along the width direction of the main machine 1, so that the internal space of the main machine 1 can be used more efficiently, and the space is avoided to be wasted.

[0077] As Figure 2 As shown, the hanging piece 22 includes a body 221 and a hanging body 222, wherein the hanging hole P is ingeniously arranged on the hanging body 222, which facilitates the connection of the hanging object such as a clothes hanger. The body 221 is longitudinally and stably arranged in the sliding groove H, and is movably connected with the sliding groove H in the transverse direction. The hanging body 222 is exposed below the sliding groove H and hangs below the rod-shaped body 21. The connecting rope S is connected to the body 221, and the lengths of the connecting ropes S between the adjacent two hanging pieces 22 are equal, so that the hanging pieces 22 are distributed equidistantly on the rod-shaped body 21 after being dispersed, ensuring that the adjacent two hanging pieces 22 are connected through the equal-length ropes, and further realizing that when the hanging pieces 22 are dispersed, a uniform and beautiful arrangement can be presented on the rod-shaped body 21, which is not only beautiful but also practical. The body 221 of the first hanging piece 22 in the sequence is provided with a protruding rod 223 extending towards the lower side of the mounting groove N. This protruding rod 223 provides a key trigger point for subsequent operations.

[0078] As Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the knob 32 includes a knob part 321 extending downward. When the knob 32 approaches the first hanging piece 22 in the sequence, the knob part 321 and the protruding rod 223 precisely contact and resist each other, so as to exert a transverse pushing force, and further ingeniously trigger the chain reaction between the hanging pieces 22 during the further gradual movement, or adjust the arrangement position of the hanging pieces 22, or start a predetermined function, which shows the key role and ingenious cooperation in the overall structure.

[0079] As Figure 3 As shown, the main machine 1 is provided with a limiting part K on both sides, and the core function is to accurately control and limit the movement range of the knob 32 within a certain range. This design ingeniously ensures the stability and accuracy of the power transmission belt 31 during transmission, and further limits the transmission trajectory, effectively avoiding system disorder or damage caused by excessive movement of the knob 32.

[0080] Specifically, the limiting portion K can take various forms to adapt to different design requirements and application scenarios. In the context of the present embodiment, the limiting portion K can ingeniously utilize the inner side end of the wheel disc as a natural barrier, directly limiting the movement boundary of the actuating member 32 with its solid and stable structure. At the same time, it also supports the provision of a special protruding component above the mounting groove N as the limiting portion K, which provides higher flexibility and customization space, allowing the limiting size and position to be adjusted according to specific requirements.

[0081] Through such a design, a dynamic balance and mutual restraint relationship is established between the limiting portion K and the actuating member 32, ensuring that the actuating member 32 accurately completes its preset action in a controlled state without worrying about excessive movement beyond the safety range. This careful structural design not only enhances the overall stability and reliability of the system, but also prolongs the service life of each component, reduces maintenance costs, and has a significant beneficial effect on improving the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment.

[0082] Preferably, the system further comprises a control unit and a lifting motor, the control unit controls the operation of the conveying motor and the lifting motor, ensuring that each component works automatically and coordinately according to the predetermined program, providing users with a more convenient and efficient clothing management experience.

[0083] In the preferred technical solution, the main machine 1 is provided with a limiting switch on both sides, and the actuating member 32 acts on the limiting switch, and the conveying motor stops running. The limiting switch can be a micro switch, when the actuating member 32 moves to the area where the limiting switch is located according to the preset trajectory, the response mechanism of the micro switch is directly triggered through physical contact. This triggering action is captured and transmitted to the control unit instantly, and the control unit immediately issues an instruction to make the conveying motor stop running quickly and smoothly. This physical contact triggering method ensures the immediacy and accuracy of the response, effectively preventing equipment damage or safety hazards caused by excessive running of the conveying motor.

[0084] The limiting switch can also be a Hall switch, and the actuating member 32 is provided as a magnetic member that can be inducted by the Hall element. The actuating member 32 triggers the response when it approaches the limiting switch to the rated distance, so that the control unit can instruct the conveying motor to stop running. This non-contact triggering method not only prolongs the service life of the limiting switch and reduces the generation of impact sound, but also avoids wear and tear problems that may be caused by long-term physical contact. At the same time, it can also accurately and reliably convey the stop instruction to the control unit, ensuring that the conveying motor stops running at the appropriate time.

[0085] In this embodiment, the step C of switching the toggle 32 to the other side of the first hanging element 22 of the sequence is achieved by the mutual coordination of the lifting of the hanging assembly 2 and the movement of the power conveyor belt 31 to change the position of the toggle 32. The lifting motor drives the hanging assembly 2 to lift to cooperate with the toggle 32 to complete the integration and dispersion of the clothes. That is, after the hanging assembly 2 is driven to descend, the power conveyor belt 31 moves to change the position of the toggle 32 so that when the hanging assembly 2 rises again, the toggle 32 is switched to the other side of the first hanging element 22 of the sequence.

[0086] That is, in this preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the step C includes sub-step C1 and sub-step C2.

[0087] As shown in Figure 5 , 6 , sub-step C1: after the hanging assembly 2 is driven to descend, the power conveyor belt 31 moves, and the toggle 32 moves towards the second side.

[0088] As shown in Figure 7 , sub-step C2: after the hanging assembly 2 rises again, the position of the toggle 32 relative to the hanging element 22 is switched to the second side of the first hanging element 22 of the sequence.

[0089] Further preferably, in sub-step C1, during the descent of the hanging assembly 2, the conveying motor continues to drive the power conveyor belt 31 to move in the first direction until the toggle 32 moves to the limit position on the second side of the main machine 1, the toggle 32 acts on the limit switch on the second side of the main machine 1, and the conveying motor stops running.

[0090] In sub-step C2, after the hanging assembly 2 is driven to rise again, the conveying motor drives the power conveyor belt 31 to move in the second direction so that the toggle 32 moves in the first direction to switch to the other side of the first hanging element 22 of the sequence.

[0091] After step D, as shown in Figure 9 , the hanging assembly 2 descends again, the power conveyor belt 31 continues to run to move the toggle 32 towards the first side until the toggle 32 moves to the limit position on the first side of the main machine 1, the toggle 32 acts on the limit switch on the first side of the main machine 1, and the conveying motor stops running.

[0092] More preferably, in sub-step C2, when the hanging assembly 2 is driven to rise to the limit position again, the conveying motor receives the signal of the control unit and automatically reverses to drive the power conveyor belt 31 to move in the second direction. This action is triggered by the control unit, which improves the automation of the system and further improves the efficiency.

[0093] In another preferred embodiment, the chute H of the rod-shaped body 21 is provided with a chute opening F, and the hanging member 22 that is moved out of the chute opening F and away from the rod-shaped body 21 after being moved toward the second side is located at the limit position of the second side of the rod-shaped body 21, and the transverse position of the chute opening F is closer to the first side of the main machine 1 relative to the limit position of the second side of the rod-shaped body 21, that is, in this state, the chute opening F is located on the inner side of the actuating member 32. Then, with the hanging member 22 that can cooperate with the actuating member 32 as the first member in the sequence, the plurality of hanging members 22 reenter the chute H, and at this time, the position of the actuating member 32 is located on the second side of the first member in the sequence, thereby realizing the relative switching of the position of the actuating member 32.
