[0070] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0071] Reference Figure 1-4 The towel folding device 100 includes: a workbench 101, a transportation device 102, a turning table 103, and a driving device 104; the transportation device 102 is arranged on the workbench 101, and is used to transport towels; the turning table 103 is hinged on the workbench 101, and is located on both sides of the transportation device 102, and the turning tables 103 on both sides of the transportation device 102 are staggered front and back, and are used to fold towels, and the rotation axis of the turning table 103 is parallel to the transportation direction of the towels; the driving device 104 is arranged on the workbench 101, and is used to drive the turning table 103 to turn over.

[0072] When the towel folding device 100 is working, the towel is spread flat on the transportation device 102, and then the transportation device 102 drives the towel to move to the position on the turning table 103 and pauses, and then the driving device 104 is started to drive the turning table 103 to turn over and fold the towel on the turning table 103, and then the transportation device 102 is started again to drive the towel to move to the turning table 103 on the other side of the transportation device 102, and the turning table 103 turns over to fold the other side of the towel.

[0073] Reference Figure 3The transport device 102 includes: a driving shaft 102a, a driven shaft 102b, a first pulley 102c, a second pulley 102d, a belt 102e, and a motor 102f; the driving shaft 102a is rotatably arranged on the workbench 101; the driven shaft 102b is rotatably arranged on the workbench 101, and the driven shaft 102b is parallel to the driving shaft 102a; there are a number of first pulleys 102c, which are evenly spaced and sleeved on the driving shaft 102a, and the first pulleys 102c are coaxial with the driving shaft 102a; the number and interval of the second pulleys 102d are the same as those of the first pulleys 102c, and they are evenly spaced and sleeved on the driven shaft 102b; the belt 102e is sleeved on the first pulley 102c and the second pulley 102d; the motor 102f is fixed on the workbench 101, connected to the driving shaft 102a, and drives the driving shaft 102a to rotate, and the motor 102f adopts a servo motor.

[0074] Reference Figure 2 The driving device 104 includes: a driving member 104a, a first connecting rod 104b, a second connecting rod 104c, and a third connecting rod 104d; the driving member 104a adopts a hydraulic cylinder 110, is fixed on the workbench 101, and is located below the turning table 103; the first connecting rod 104b is hinged on the output end of the driving member 104a; the second connecting rod 104c is hinged on the end of the first connecting rod 104b away from the driving member 104a; the third connecting rod 104d is hinged on the second connecting rod 104c, and the end of the third connecting rod 104d away from the second connecting rod 104c is hinged on the lower end surface of the turning table 103.

[0075] The second connecting rod 104c is composed of a first hinge part 104f and a second hinge part 104g. The first hinge part 104f and the second hinge part 104g are both constructed in the shape of a long strip. One end of the first hinge part 104f is hinged to the workbench 101, and the second hinge part 104g is integrally formed on the other end of the first hinge part 104f. The second hinge part 104g intersects with the first hinge part 104f at an angle, and one end of the second hinge part 104g away from the first hinge part 104f is hinged to the third connecting rod 104d; the hinge between the first connecting rod 104b and the first hinge part 104f is located at the connection between the first hinge part 104f and the second hinge part 104g.

[0076] When the towel moves onto the turning platform 103, the driving member 104a is activated, driving the first connecting rod 104b to rise, and finally driving the turning platform 103 to turn upward to fold the towel.

[0077] A folding sheet 105 is also rotatably provided on the workbench 101. The folding sheets 105 are in number and located between adjacent belts 102e for folding towels. The rotation axis of the folding sheet 105 is parallel to the driven shaft 102b, and the rotation direction of the rotation axis of the folding sheet 105 is opposite to the rotation direction of the driven shaft 102b.

[0078] A first driving group 106 for driving the folding sheet 105 to flip is disposed on the workbench 101 . The first driving group 106 is composed of a servo motor and a rotating shaft, and the folding sheet 105 is disposed on the rotating shaft.

[0079] When the belt 102e transports the towel folded by the turning table 103 to the top of the folding sheet 105, the first driving group 106 starts to drive the folding sheet 105 to rotate 180 degrees upward to fold the towel in half, and then drives the folding sheet 105 to return to its original position.

[0080] Reference Figure 4 The towel folding device 100 also includes: a pressure rod 107 and a second driving group 108; the pressure rod 107 is arranged on the workbench 101, and is used to press the towel folded by the turning table 103. The height of the pressure rod 107 is higher than the height of the belt 102e, and the height difference between the pressure rod 107 and the belt 102e is greater than the thickness of the towel folded by the turning table 103; the second driving member 104a drives the pressure rod 107 to move horizontally, and the second driving group 108 is composed of an electric telescopic rod 108a, a guide rod 108b and a slider 108c, and the pressure rod 107 is fixed on the slider 108c; the moving direction of the pressure rod 107 is parallel to the rotation axis of the folding sheet 105.

[0081] The slider 108c is connected to the pressure rod 107 through a connecting plate 109, on which a hydraulic cylinder 110 is fixed. The pressure rod 107 is fixed to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 110, so that after the pressure rod 107 moves above the towel, the hydraulic cylinder 110 drives the pressure rod 107 to move downward to press the towel.

[0082] Before the folding sheet 105 flips over to fold the towel in half, the second drive group 108 starts to drive the pressure rod 107 to move above the towel, and then the hydraulic cylinder 110 starts to drive the pressure rod 107 to press down to hold the towel, effectively preventing the towel from shifting when the folding sheet 105 folds the towel in half, and at the same time preventing the towel from sliding down due to gravity when folding, thereby improving the smoothness of the folded towel.

[0083] The above descriptions are only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles used.
