Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of finishing technology, and in particular to a glove folding system and folding method. Background Technology

[0002] After the production process is completed, latex gloves need to be folded, sorted, and boxed to ensure they are packaged in a standardized manner and meet usage and packaging requirements. Because latex gloves are made of materials such as nitrile, and are very thin, soft to the touch, and have a smooth surface, they are easily deformed. During the folding process, problems such as inaccurate glove placement, improper folding action, or accidental deformation can easily lead to poor folding results, inconsistent dimensions after folding, and easy deformation after folding. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention aims to solve the above problems and provides a glove folding system and folding method, the technical solution of which is as follows: A glove folding system includes a fixed frame, a turntable, a support mechanism, a synchronization mechanism, and a connecting mechanism. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame, the support mechanism is fixedly mounted on the turntable, and the connecting mechanism is mounted on the synchronization mechanism. The synchronization mechanism drives the connecting mechanism to rotate intermittently in sync with the turntable. The support mechanism includes a mounting base, and a movable sleeve, a compression sleeve, and a fixing block arranged coaxially and sequentially from the outside to the inside. A cylinder for the movable sleeve is mounted on the mounting base, driving the movable sleeve to slide axially. The end of the movable sleeve near the connecting mechanism is used to fit a glove. A compression spring abuts between the compression sleeve and the base of the movable sleeve near the mounting base. Gaps are provided between the compression sleeve and the bottom and sidewalls of the movable sleeve. The fixing block is fixedly mounted relative to the mounting base, and has a vent hole for airflow into the glove. A support tongue for supporting the glove is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block near the connecting mechanism. A push plate is provided on the side of the fixing block facing the connecting mechanism, and the push plate moves axially along the fixing block. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting sleeve that reciprocates axially along the fixing block. When the connecting sleeve is in the extended position, the support tongue is inserted into the connecting sleeve.

[0004] Based on the above scheme, it also includes an elastic clip. The end of the elastic clip near the mounting base is fixedly connected to the side wall of the compression sleeve. The middle part of the elastic clip extends outward along the radial direction of the movable sleeve, and the end of the elastic clip near the connecting mechanism extends inward along the radial direction of the movable sleeve, so that the elastic clip is V-shaped and the opening faces the axis of the movable sleeve. A clip retaining ring is provided on the inner wall of the movable sleeve. When the movable sleeve moves relative to the compression sleeve towards the connecting mechanism to the predetermined position, the clip retaining ring presses the middle part of the elastic clip downward towards the axis of the movable sleeve, so that the end of the elastic clip near the connecting mechanism abuts against the side wall of the fixed block.

[0005] Preferably, the end of the movable sleeve near the connecting mechanism protrudes radially outward to form a connecting ring, and the movable sleeve has a connecting groove on the side of the connecting ring near the mounting base, wherein the outer diameter of the connecting groove is smaller than the outer diameter of the connecting ring.

[0006] Preferably, the connecting sleeve is U-shaped with the U-shaped opening facing upwards.

[0007] Preferably, the support mechanism further includes a push plate cylinder, which is mounted on the mounting base. The piston rod of the push plate cylinder is fixedly connected to a push block. The push block is slidably mounted between the mounting base and the movable sleeve base. The push block is fixedly connected to the push plate via a push rod, which is parallel to the axial direction of the fixed block.

[0008] Preferably, the synchronization mechanism includes a movable frame, a reset cylinder, a synchronization drive mechanism, and a synchronization stop. The movable frame is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame and coaxially connected to the turntable. The two ends of the reset cylinder are respectively hinged to the fixed frame and the movable frame. The synchronization drive mechanism is located on the side of the movable frame facing the turntable. The synchronization stop is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable facing the movable frame. When the turntable rotates until the synchronization stop abuts against the synchronization drive mechanism, it drives the synchronization drive mechanism and the movable frame to rotate synchronously.

[0009] Based on the above scheme, the synchronous drive mechanism includes a hinge frame, a mounting block, a synchronous rotating shaft, a synchronous rotating block, and a return spring. The mounting block is fixedly connected to the movable frame. The middle part of the hinge frame and the synchronous rotating block are respectively fixedly connected to the synchronous rotating shaft. The synchronous rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting block. The return spring abuts between the synchronous rotating block and the movable frame. The two ends of the hinge frame are respectively connected to a first blocking member and a second blocking member. A return stop is fixedly connected to the fixed frame. In the free state, the return spring causes the first blocking member to approach the turntable and the second blocking member to approach the fixed frame. When the synchronous stop rotates to the synchronous drive mechanism, it abuts against one side of the first blocking member. When the second blocking member moves to abut against the return stop, it drives the hinge frame to rotate and the first blocking member disengages from the synchronous stop.

[0010] Based on the above scheme, the first blocking member is a first pulley, the second blocking member is a second pulley, and the first pulley and the second pulley are rotatably mounted on the hinge frame respectively; the middle bearing is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the mounting block, and the middle bearing abuts against and slides relative to the surface of the turntable.

[0011] Preferably, there are multiple connecting mechanisms on the movable frame, and the included angle between the outermost connecting mechanisms at both ends is α°. Then, there are i synchronous blocks, and i = 360° / α°. The multiple synchronous blocks are evenly distributed around the central axis of the turntable.

[0012] Preferably, the system further includes a conveying mechanism and a pressure roller. The conveying mechanism is a transmission belt and is located below the support mechanism and the connecting mechanism. The pressure roller is rotatably located above the conveying mechanism.

[0013] A glove folding method, using the above-described glove folding system, includes the following steps: S1. The movable sleeve is in the extended position, that is, the side away from the mounting base. The compression sleeve and the support tongue are located inside the movable sleeve. The glove to be folded is put onto the sleeve groove of the movable sleeve. S2. Pre-inflate the gloves on the movable sleeve through the vent to make the gloves stand upright. Under the action of air pressure, the wrist end of the glove moves towards the connecting mechanism until it is engaged with the end of the sleeve ring and completed the positioning. At this time, the detection device detects the air pressure inside the glove. If the air pressure is too low, it means that the glove is obviously damaged, and the operator removes the damaged glove. S3. The movable sleeve cylinder drives the movable sleeve to move closer to the mounting seat, and exposes the support tongue outside the movable sleeve. At this time, the compression sleeve is located outside the movable sleeve under the action of the compression spring. S4. Extract air from the glove through the vent, allowing the glove to hang naturally, with the end of the support tongue positioned at the base of the fingers or near the base of the fingers on the palm. S5. The turntable rotates to the position where a synchronous stop block abuts against the first blocking component, causing the movable frame to drive the connecting mechanism to rotate synchronously with the turntable. At this time, the positions of the support mechanism and the connecting mechanism correspond one-to-one. S6. The connecting cylinder drives the connecting sleeve to extend towards the support mechanism, and the finger part of the glove folds towards the palm part of the glove under the enclosure of the bottom plate and side wall of the connecting sleeve; S7. Inflate the gloves through the vents; S8. The movable sleeve drives the compression sleeve to move closer to the connecting mechanism. When the base of the compression sleeve abuts against the end face of the fixed block, the compression sleeve stops moving, and the movable sleeve continues to move. The air pressure inside the glove increases until the air pressure causes the glove wrist to detach from the connecting ring and fold towards the connecting mechanism under the action of elasticity, and wraps around the outside of the connecting sleeve, forming a folded structure in which the wrist wraps around the palm and fingers, thus completing the folding of a single glove. S9. The connecting sleeve pulls the folded single glove back to the retracted position in a direction away from the support mechanism; S10. The turntable drives the movable frame to move to the position where the reset block and the second blocking member abut against each other, drives the hinge frame to rotate until the first blocking member and the synchronous block disengage, and the reset cylinder pulls the movable frame to reset. S11. Repeat the above steps.

[0014] Based on the above solution, a method for folding paired gloves is included, comprising the following steps: P1. After completing step S9, repeat steps S1-S8 to complete the folding of the second glove and wrap the second glove around the outside of the first glove that has already been folded. P2. The movable sleeve continues to move towards the connecting mechanism, causing the clamp retaining ring to press the middle of the elastic clamp towards the axis, and the end of the elastic clamp presses the folded glove tightly against the side wall of the fixed block. P3. The connecting cylinder drives the connecting sleeve to retract to the retracted position, so that the connecting sleeve is detached from the folded glove; P4. Move the movable sleeve towards the mounting base to disengage the clip retaining ring from the elastic clip, and the elastic clip will no longer hold the glove; P5. The push plate cylinder drives the push plate to move towards the connecting mechanism, pushing the glove off the fixed block, so that the glove is separated from the support mechanism and falls onto the conveying mechanism. P6. Continue from step S10 downwards.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Through the cooperation of the support mechanism and the connecting mechanism, folding of a single glove or a pair of gloves can be achieved. Each action in the folding process accurately defines the connection, support, folding, and clamping positions of the glove, which not only ensures the folding effect and quality of the glove and keeps the size of the folded gloves consistent, but also effectively avoids problems such as gloves falling off or shifting during the folding process. The support mechanism and the connecting mechanism move synchronously during the cooperation process, ensuring the accuracy and effect of the folding action. Multiple sets of support mechanisms and connecting structures can operate simultaneously, effectively improving processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0018] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "length," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," and "inner," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, a glove folding system includes a fixed frame 11, a turntable 22, a support mechanism, a synchronization mechanism, and a connecting mechanism. The turntable 22 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 11. Multiple support mechanisms are fixedly mounted on the turntable 22 and evenly distributed along its circumference. The connecting mechanism is mounted on the synchronization mechanism, which drives the connecting mechanism to rotate intermittently in sync with the turntable 22. An operating platform 12 is provided on the fixed frame 11, allowing the operator to retrieve the gloves to be folded from the operating platform 12 and slip them onto the support mechanism for folding. The turntable 22 can be continuously rotated by a motor and a drive gear 21, among other mechanisms.

[0021] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the support mechanism includes a mounting base 31, and a movable sleeve 33, a compression sleeve 35, and a fixing block 41, which are sequentially fitted together and coaxially arranged from the outside to the inside. A movable sleeve cylinder 32 is mounted on the mounting base 31. The movable sleeve cylinder 32 drives the movable sleeve 33 to slide axially. The end of the movable sleeve 33 near the connecting mechanism is used to fit the glove. Specifically, the end of the movable sleeve 33 near the connecting mechanism protrudes radially outward to form a fitting ring 332. The movable sleeve 33 has a fitting groove 333 on the side of the fitting ring 332 near the mounting base 31. The outer diameter of the fitting groove 333 is smaller than the outer diameter of the fitting ring 332. By increasing the diameter of the fitting ring 332, the wrist of the glove is tensioned, and the end of the fitting ring 332 near the fitting groove 333 engages and fixes the wrist end of the glove.

[0022] A compression spring 34 abuts against the base of the movable sleeve 33 near the mounting seat 31. When the movable sleeve 33 is extended and the compression sleeve 35 is blocked by the compression spring 34, relative movement between the movable sleeve 33 and the compression sleeve 35 is achieved. Preferably, multiple compression springs 34 are evenly distributed circumferentially around the movable sleeve 33. The compression springs 34 are sleeved outside the positioning post, which positions the bending direction and trajectory of the compression springs 34 during compression. Gaps are provided between the bottom and sidewalls of the compression sleeve 35 and the movable sleeve 33.

[0023] The fixing block 41 is fixedly disposed relative to the mounting base 31. The fixing block 41 has a vent hole 43 for allowing air to pass into the glove. Preferably, the fixing block 41 also has a detection device for detecting the air pressure inside the glove. The fixing block 41 has an air pressure detection hole 44 connecting the detection device to the inside of the glove. The detection device detects the real-time air pressure inside the glove after inflation through the air pressure detection hole 44. A support tongue 42 for supporting the glove is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing block 41 near the connecting mechanism.

[0024] A push plate 54 is provided on the side of the fixed block 41 facing the connecting mechanism, and the push plate 54 moves axially along the fixed block 41. Specifically, the support mechanism also includes a push plate cylinder 51, which is mounted on the mounting base 31. The piston rod of the push plate cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to a push block 52, which is slidably disposed between the mounting base 31 and the base of the movable sleeve 33. The push block 52 is fixedly connected to the push plate 54 through a push rod 53, which is parallel to the axial direction of the fixed block 41. Thus, the push plate 54 is driven to move by the action of the push plate cylinder 51.

[0025] Preferably, the device further includes an elastic clip 36. The elastic clip 36 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the compression sleeve 35 at one end near the mounting base 31. The middle portion of the elastic clip 36 extends radially outward along the movable sleeve 33, and the end of the elastic clip 36 near the connecting mechanism extends radially inward along the movable sleeve 33, making the elastic clip 36 V-shaped with its opening facing the axis of the movable sleeve 33. A clip retaining ring 331 is provided on the inner wall of the movable sleeve 33. When the movable sleeve 33 moves relative to the compression sleeve 35 towards the connecting mechanism to a predetermined position, the clip retaining ring 331 presses the middle portion of the elastic clip 36 downward towards the axis of the movable sleeve 33, causing the end of the elastic clip 36 near the connecting mechanism to abut against the side wall of the fixing block 41. The compression sleeve 35 has a through groove at the location where the elastic clip 36 is installed, allowing the elastic clip 36 to pass through the side wall of the compression sleeve 35 and abut against both the movable sleeve 33 and the fixing block 41.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting sleeve 83, which reciprocates axially along the fixing block 41. When the connecting sleeve 83 is in the extended position, the supporting tongue 42 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 83. The connecting sleeve 83 is U-shaped with the U-shaped opening facing upwards. Preferably, the lower surface of the connecting sleeve 83 includes a base plate and downward inclined plates on both sides of the base plate. The downward inclined plates are inclined downwards in the direction close to the base plate, and upward inclined plates are provided on both sides of the U-shaped opening. The connecting mechanism also includes a connecting cylinder 81, which is arranged along the axial direction of the fixing block 41. The connecting sleeve 83 is fixedly connected to the moving part of the connecting cylinder 81, thereby driving the connecting sleeve 83 to move through the action of the connecting cylinder 81. The connecting cylinder 81 is fixedly arranged relative to the mounting base 31.

[0027] like Figures 7 to 9As shown, the synchronization mechanism includes a movable frame 61, a reset cylinder 64, a synchronization drive mechanism, and a synchronization stop 23. The movable frame 61 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 11 and coaxially connected to the turntable 22. The two ends of the reset cylinder 64 are respectively hinged to the fixed frame 11 and the movable frame 61. The synchronization drive mechanism is located on the side of the movable frame 61 facing the turntable 22. The synchronization stop 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable 22 facing the movable frame 61. When the turntable 22 rotates until the synchronization stop 23 abuts against the synchronization drive mechanism, it drives the synchronization drive mechanism and the movable frame 61 to rotate synchronously.

[0028] Specifically, the synchronous drive mechanism includes a hinge frame 71, a mounting block 74, a synchronous rotating shaft 75, a synchronous rotating block 76, and a return spring 77. The mounting block 74 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 61. The middle part of the hinge frame 71 and the synchronous rotating block 76 are respectively fixedly connected to the synchronous rotating shaft 75. The synchronous rotating shaft 75 is rotatably mounted on the mounting block 74. The return spring 77 abuts against the synchronous rotating block 76 and the movable frame 61. The two ends of the hinge frame 71 are respectively connected to a first blocking member and a second blocking member. The return stop 66 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 11. In its free state, the return spring 77 causes the first blocking member to approach the turntable 22 and the second blocking member to approach the fixed frame 11. When the synchronous stop 23 rotates to the synchronous drive mechanism, it abuts against one side of the first blocking member. When the second blocking member moves to abut against the return stop 66, it drives the hinge frame 71 to rotate, and the first blocking member disengages from the synchronous stop 23. After disengagement, the return cylinder 64 pulls the movable frame 61 back to its original position. A buffer pad 65 is provided at the original position to buffer and reduce shock on the movable frame 61 in place. Preferably, the first blocking member is a first pulley 72 and the second blocking member is a second pulley 73. The first pulley 72 and the second pulley 73 are rotatably mounted on the hinge frame 71. A central bearing 78 is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the mounting block 74. The central bearing 78 abuts against and slides relative to the surface of the turntable 22. The above structure achieves the effect of reducing friction.

[0029] Preferably, the movable frame 61 has multiple connecting mechanisms, and the included angle between the outermost connecting mechanisms at both ends is α°. Therefore, the number of synchronous stops 23 is i, where i = 360° / α°, and i is an integer. The multiple synchronous stops 23 are evenly distributed circumferentially about the central axis of the turntable 22. This allows the movable frame 61 to move synchronously with the turntable 22 multiple times within one rotation cycle of the turntable 22, improving processing efficiency.

[0030] It also includes a conveying mechanism 91 and a pressure roller 92. The conveying mechanism 91 is a transmission belt and is located below the support mechanism and the connecting mechanism. The pressure roller 92 is rotatably located above the conveying mechanism 91 to roll the folded gloves to reduce the thickness of the folded gloves and make them easier to handle and package later.

[0031] A glove folding method, using the glove folding system described above, includes the following steps: S1. The movable sleeve 33 is in the extended position, that is, on the side away from the mounting base 31. The compression sleeve 35 and the support tongue 42 are located inside the movable sleeve 33. The glove to be folded is put on the sleeve groove 333 of the movable sleeve 33. S2. The glove on the movable sleeve 33 is pre-inflated through the vent 43 to make the glove stand upright. Under the action of air pressure, the wrist end of the glove moves towards the connecting mechanism until it is engaged with the end of the sleeve ring 332 and the positioning is completed. At this time, the detection device detects the air pressure inside the glove. If the air pressure is too low, it indicates that the glove is obviously damaged, and the operator removes the damaged glove. S3. The movable sleeve cylinder 32 drives the movable sleeve 33 to move closer to the mounting base 31, and exposes the support tongue 42 outside the movable sleeve 33. At this time, the compression sleeve 35 is located outside the movable sleeve 33 under the action of the compression spring 34. S4. Air is drawn out of the glove through the vent 43, causing the glove to hang down naturally, with the end of the support tongue 42 located at the base of the fingers of the glove or near the base of the fingers on the palm. S5. The turntable 22 rotates to the position where a synchronous stop 23 abuts against the first blocking member, so that the movable frame 61 drives the connecting mechanism to rotate synchronously with the turntable 22. At this time, the positions of the support mechanism and the connecting mechanism correspond one-to-one. S6. The connecting cylinder 81 drives the connecting sleeve 83 to extend towards the support mechanism, and the finger part of the glove folds towards the palm part of the glove under the enclosure of the bottom plate and side wall of the connecting sleeve 83. S7. Inflate the glove through the vent 43; S8. The movable sleeve 33 drives the compression sleeve 35 to move closer to the connecting mechanism. When the base of the compression sleeve 35 abuts against the end face of the fixed block 41, the compression sleeve 35 stops moving, and the movable sleeve 33 continues to move, which reduces the space between the movable sleeve 33 and the base of the compression sleeve 35, thereby squeezing the air between the bases into the glove. The air pressure inside the glove increases until the air pressure causes the glove wrist to detach from the connecting ring 332 and fold towards the connecting mechanism under the action of elasticity, and wrap around the outside of the connecting sleeve 83, forming a folded structure in which the wrist wraps around the palm and fingers, thus completing the folding of a single glove. S9. Connector sleeve 83 drives the folded single glove to retract to the retracted position away from the support mechanism; S10. The turntable 22 drives the movable frame 61 to move to the position where the reset block 66 abuts against the second blocking member, drives the hinge frame 71 to rotate until the first blocking member disengages from the synchronous block 23, and the reset cylinder 64 pulls the movable frame 61 to reset. S11. Repeat the above steps.

[0032] Preferably, it also includes a method for folding the paired gloves, comprising the following steps: P1. After completing step S9, repeat steps S1-S8 to complete the folding of the second glove and wrap the second glove around the outside of the first glove that has already been folded. P2. The movable sleeve 33 continues to move towards the connecting mechanism, so that the clamping ring 331 presses the middle part of the elastic clamping piece 36 towards the axis, and the end of the elastic clamping piece 36 presses the folded glove tightly against the side wall of the fixed block 41. P3. Connecting cylinder 81 drives connecting sleeve 83 to retract to the retracted position, so that connecting sleeve 83 is disengaged from the folded glove; P4. The movable sleeve 33 moves toward the mounting base 31, causing the clip retaining ring 331 to disengage from the elastic clip 36, and the elastic clip 36 no longer holds the glove. P5. The push plate cylinder 51 drives the push plate 54 to move towards the connecting mechanism, pushing the glove off the fixed block 41, so that the glove is separated from the support mechanism and falls onto the conveying mechanism. P6. Continue from step S10 downwards.

[0033] The present invention has been described above by way of example, but the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Any modifications or variations made based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.

The synchronization stop (23) is fixedly connected to the side of the turntable (22) facing the movable frame (61). When the turntable (22) rotates until the synchronization stop (23) abuts against the synchronization drive mechanism, it drives the synchronization drive mechanism and the movable frame (61) to rotate synchronously.

7. A glove folding system according to claim 6, characterized in that, The synchronous drive mechanism includes a hinge frame (71), a mounting block (74), a synchronous rotating shaft (75), a synchronous rotating block (76), and a return spring (77). The mounting block (74) is fixedly connected to the movable frame (61). The middle part of the hinge frame (71) and the synchronous rotating block (76) are respectively fixedly connected to the synchronous rotating shaft (75). The synchronous rotating shaft (75) is rotatably mounted on the mounting block (74). The return spring (77) abuts against the synchronous rotating block (76) and the movable frame (61). (71) The first blocking member and the second blocking member are connected to the two ends respectively. The reset block (66) is fixedly connected to the fixed frame (11). When the reset spring (77) is in a free state, the first blocking member is close to the turntable (22) and the second blocking member is close to the fixed frame (11). When the synchronous block (23) rotates to the synchronous drive mechanism, it abuts against one side of the first blocking member. When the second blocking member moves to abut against the reset block (66), it drives the hinge frame (71) to rotate and the first blocking member and the synchronous block (23) to disengage.

8. A glove folding system according to claim 7, characterized in that, The first blocking member is a first pulley (72), and the second blocking member is a second pulley (73). The first pulley (72) and the second pulley (73) are rotatably mounted on the hinge frame (71). The middle bearing (78) is rotatably mounted on the upper part of the mounting block (74). The middle bearing (78) abuts against the surface of the turntable (22) and slides relative to it.

9. A glove folding system according to claim 6, characterized in that, If there are multiple connecting mechanisms on the movable frame (61) and the included angle between the outermost connecting mechanisms at both ends is ɑ°, then the number of synchronous blocks (23) is i, and i = 360° / ɑ°. The multiple synchronous blocks (23) are evenly distributed around the central axis of the turntable (22).

10. A glove folding system according to claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes a conveying mechanism (91) and a pressure roller (92). The conveying mechanism (91) is a transmission belt. The conveying mechanism (91) is located below the support mechanism and the connecting mechanism. The pressure roller (92) is rotatably located above the conveying mechanism (91).

11. A method for folding gloves, characterized in that, Using the glove folding system as described in any one of claims 1-10, the steps include: S1. The movable sleeve (33) is in the extended position, that is, away from the mounting base (31). The compression sleeve (35) and the support tongue (42) are located inside the movable sleeve (33). The glove to be folded is put on the sleeve groove (333) of the movable sleeve (33). S2. The gloves on the movable sleeve (33) are pre-inflated through the vent (43) to make the gloves stand upright. The wrist end of the gloves moves towards the connecting mechanism under the action of air pressure until it is engaged with the end of the sleeve ring (332) and completed the positioning. At this time, the detection device detects the air pressure inside the gloves. If the air pressure is too low, it means that the gloves are obviously damaged and the operator removes the damaged gloves. S3. The movable sleeve cylinder (32) drives the movable sleeve (33) to move closer to the mounting seat (31) and exposes the support tongue (42) outside the movable sleeve (33). At this time, the compression sleeve (35) is located outside the movable sleeve (33) under the action of the compression spring (34). S4. Extract air from the glove through the vent (43) so that the glove hangs down naturally and the end of the support tongue (42) is located at the base of the fingers of the glove or near the base of the fingers on the palm. S5. The turntable (22) rotates to the position where a synchronous stop (23) abuts against the first blocking member, so that the movable frame (61) drives the connecting mechanism to rotate synchronously with the turntable (22). At this time, the positions of the support mechanism and the connecting mechanism correspond one-to-one. S6. The connecting cylinder (81) drives the connecting sleeve (83) to extend towards the support mechanism, and the finger part of the glove is folded towards the palm part of the glove under the enclosure of the bottom plate and side wall of the connecting sleeve (83); S7. Inflate the glove through the vent (43); S8. The movable sleeve (33) drives the compression sleeve (35) to move closer to the connecting mechanism. When the base of the compression sleeve (35) abuts against the end face of the fixed block (41), the compression sleeve (35) stops moving, and the movable sleeve (33) continues to move. The air pressure inside the glove increases until the air pressure causes the glove wrist to detach from the connecting ring (332) and fold towards the connecting mechanism under the action of elasticity, and wrap around the outside of the connecting sleeve (83), forming a folded structure in which the wrist wraps around the palm and fingers, thus completing the folding of a single glove. S9. The connecting sleeve (83) drives the folded single glove to retract to the retracted position away from the support mechanism; S10. The turntable (22) drives the movable frame (61) to move to the position where the reset stop (66) abuts against the second blocking member, drives the hinge frame (71) to rotate until the first blocking member disengages from the synchronous stop (23), and the reset cylinder (64) pulls the movable frame (61) to reset. S11. Repeat the above steps.

12. A glove folding method according to claim 11, characterized in that, This includes a method for folding a pair of gloves, comprising the following steps: P1. After completing step S9, repeat steps S1-S8 to complete the folding of the second glove and wrap the second glove around the outside of the first glove that has already been folded. P2. The movable sleeve (33) continues to move toward the connecting mechanism, so that the clamping ring (331) presses the middle part of the elastic clamp (36) toward the axis, and the end of the elastic clamp (36) presses the folded glove tightly onto the side wall of the fixed block (41). P3. The connecting cylinder (81) drives the connecting sleeve (83) to retract to the retracted position, so that the connecting sleeve (83) is disengaged from the folded glove; P4. The movable sleeve (33) moves toward the mounting base (31) so that the clip retaining ring (331) disengages from the elastic clip (36) and the elastic clip (36) no longer holds the glove; P5. The push plate cylinder (51) drives the push plate (54) to move towards the connecting mechanism, pushing the glove off the fixed block (41), so that the glove is separated from the support mechanism and falls onto the conveying mechanism; P6. Continue from step S10 downwards.
