Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electrical appliance manufacturing, and more specifically to a width direction folding component of a clothes folding machine. Background Art

[0002] A clothes folding machine in the related art, such as patent document CN112746477A discloses a clothes folding machine, comprising a transverse clothes folding component for transversely folding clothes when the clothes clamping mechanism transports the clothes and moves. However, the transverse clothes folding component only "passively" folds the clothes in the width direction of the clothes in the backward transportation process through the cooperation of the storage plate and the folding plate, which is bound to cause more wrinkles on the surface of the folded clothes, affecting the flatness of the folded clothes. In addition, the prior art also requires a complex structural design between the storage plate and the folding plate, which results in a complex overall structure of the clothes folding machine, difficult to control costs, and affects the miniaturized spatial layout of the entire machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome at least one defect of the above-mentioned prior art, and one of the purposes is to provide a width direction folding component of a clothes folding machine, so as to solve the problem of poor folding effect of clothes in the width direction.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is to provide a width-direction folding component of a clothes folding machine, wherein the width-direction folding component is arranged at the front of the clothes folding machine, and comprises a clothes loading platform and an active width folding mechanism. The clothes loading platform is arranged at the upper side of the front of the clothes folding machine, and is used to place the middle part of the clothes to be folded; the active width folding mechanism is arranged below the clothes loading platform, and is used to fold the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes loading platform to the inner side below the clothes loading platform by driving.

[0005] In this solution, the clothes to be folded are placed on the clothes platform, and the middle part of the clothes is laid flat on the surface of the clothes platform. Then, the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform fall naturally. At this time, the clothes are transported backwards, and the width active folding mechanism is started. When the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform pass through the working coverage area of ​​the width active folding mechanism, the width active folding mechanism provides a driving force toward the inner side of the bottom of the clothes platform for the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform, so that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform are folded inwardly, thereby improving the efficiency of folding the clothes in the width direction. And because the width active folding mechanism is an active driving working mode, the clothes can be folded in width quickly and accurately; and the operating frequency of the mechanism can be further adjusted reasonably to adapt to the folding requirements of different clothes. Compared with the method of forming width folding only by the structural cooperation of the clothes platform and the width folding part, this solution improves the smoothness of the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform when folding inwardly, and also has the advantages of flexibility and controllability, greatly optimizing the effect of folding the clothes in the width direction.

[0006] Furthermore, the active width folding mechanism includes two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms, which are respectively arranged on both sides below the clothing platform, and the conveying crawler mechanisms are configured to convey the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothing platform to the inner side below the clothing platform.

[0007] In this solution, during the process of conveying the clothes to be folded backwards, when the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes loading platform pass through the coverage area of ​​the conveying crawler mechanism, the two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms located on both sides drive the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes loading platform from both sides of the clothes loading platform to the inner side below the clothes loading platform, so that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes loading platform are moved closer to the inner side of the clothes loading platform to be folded in the width direction.

[0008] Furthermore, outer edges of the two groups of conveying crawler mechanisms correspond to both side edges of the clothing loading platform or are respectively located outside both side edges of the clothing loading platform.

[0009] When the clothes to be folded are placed on the clothes loading platform, the parts falling on the two sides of the clothes loading platform hang down along the two sides of the clothes loading platform. When the clothes are transported backwards, the parts falling on the two sides of the clothes loading platform move backwards along the two sides of the clothes loading platform. The conveying crawler mechanism of this scheme can meet the requirement of covering the parts of the clothes falling on the two sides of the clothes loading platform, so as to ensure that the conveying crawler mechanism can drive the parts of the clothes falling on the two sides of the clothes loading platform from the two sides of the clothes loading platform to the inner side below the clothes loading platform when facing different clothes, so as to fold the clothes in the width direction.

[0010] Optionally, the conveying crawler mechanisms each include a crawler component and a motor assembly; preferably, the crawler components are synchronously driven by a group of motor assemblies.

[0011] By driving all the crawler components of the two groups of conveying crawler mechanisms through one set of motor components, the two groups of conveying crawler mechanisms can respectively drive the parts of the clothes falling on the two sides of the loading platform with good synchronization, so that the folding effects on both sides are consistent.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding part arranged between the clothing loading platform and the conveying crawler mechanism, the conveying crawler mechanism is arranged on the lower surface of the feeding part, the feeding part is provided with a hollow position, the crawler of the conveying crawler mechanism is placed in the hollow position, the upper surface of the crawler is parallel to or higher than the upper surface of the feeding part, and the feeding part extends from the bottom of the clothing loading platform to the rear of the clothing loading platform.

[0013] The feeding part of the present scheme is used to receive the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the loading platform. When conveying the clothes backwards, the feeding part can guide the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the loading platform from the support below the loading platform to the rear of the loading platform so as to enter the next folding process more smoothly. At the same time, the lower surface of the feeding part is used to install the conveying crawler mechanism, and the hollow position is matched with the crawler of the corresponding conveying crawler mechanism. Then, the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the loading platform can be driven by the conveying crawler mechanism from both sides of the loading platform toward the inner side below the loading platform when passing through the hollow position during the process of being supported and guided by the feeding part, so as to be smoothly folded in the width direction.

[0014] Furthermore, the feeding portion gradually inclines upward from front to back.

[0015] The feeding part of this scheme can guide the clothes to be folded that are transported backwards and fall on both sides of the clothes loading platform to gradually move upwards towards the lower surface of the clothes loading platform to reduce the size in the thickness direction, which helps to form creases by compressing the thickness when folding in the width direction.

[0016] Preferably, a horizontal connecting portion is further provided, and the horizontal connecting portion is connected to the rear side of the feeding portion.

[0017] This solution facilitates the width-direction folding assembly to horizontally overlap the corresponding device of the next process backwards through the horizontal connecting part, which helps the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes loading platform to smoothly transition to the next process.

[0018] Furthermore, it also includes two groups of limiting members respectively arranged on both sides of the clothing loading platform, which are used to limit the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing loading platform to the space between the two groups of limiting members and the clothing loading platform.

[0019] This solution can ensure that when the clothes are transported backwards, the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothes carrying platform are reliably restricted to move linearly backwards within the space defined by the limit members and the two sides of the clothes carrying platform, which helps the width active folding mechanism to stably drive the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothes carrying platform to fold from the two sides of the clothes carrying platform toward the inner side below the clothes carrying platform.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a guide member, which is arranged below the clothing platform and in front of the active width folding mechanism, and the guide member guides the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform to move backwards and move closer to the inner side of the clothing platform.

[0021] Furthermore, the front portion of the guide member has a U-shaped portion with an opening facing forward.

[0022] In this solution, the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform hang down on both sides of the U-shaped part. When the clothes are transported backwards, the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform are guided by the U-shaped part and gradually gather to the inside of the clothing platform.

[0023] Furthermore, the guide member is provided with a supporting portion for supporting the clothing loading platform.

[0024] In this solution, the supporting part improves the supporting strength of the clothes carrier and forms a gap between the clothes carrier and the guide member, so that when the clothes are transported backward, the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes carrier can move smoothly backward through the gap.

[0025] Furthermore, the front portion of the clothing loading platform has an extension portion, and the extension portion gradually extends downward from the back to the front.

[0026] This solution allows the portion of the clothes to be folded outside the front side of the clothes loading platform to droop naturally along the extension portion, avoiding the unfavorable situation that the clothes are stuck on the edge of the clothes loading platform when conveying the clothes backwards, so that the folding process is smooth.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: by arranging an active width folding mechanism under the clothes carrier to actively drive the two side parts of the clothes to gather toward the middle part of the clothes, the purpose of efficient width folding of the clothes is achieved, and compared with the existing method of passively completing folding only by structural cooperation, the structural requirements of the clothes carrier are greatly reduced, and the folding process is more controllable; in addition, the active width folding mechanism cooperates with the feeding part that is gradually inclined upward from front to back, so that the parts of the clothes located on both sides of the clothes carrier can automatically approach the middle part of the clothes as the clothes move backward to automatically form a dimensional compression in the thickness direction, so that the width folding can be performed while compressing the thickness dimension to form a more obvious crease, thereby optimizing the efficiency of the width folding; thirdly, by using two sets of limit members on both sides of the clothes carrier and cooperating with the guide members, the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes carrier are gradually brought inward, thereby assisting the width folding, and also facilitating the subsequent active width folding mechanism to reliably cover the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes carrier, so that the width folding process is reliable and efficient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The drawings of the present invention are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be construed as limiting the present invention. In order to better illustrate the following embodiments, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product; for those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a width folding assembly 200 of a folding machine 100. In specific implementation, the width folding assembly 200 is integrally arranged at the front of the folding machine 100, including a clothes platform 1 and a width active folding mechanism. The clothes platform 1 is arranged at the upper side of the front of the folding machine 100, and is used to place the middle part of the clothes to be folded; the width active folding mechanism is arranged below the clothes platform 1, and is used to fold the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 to the inner side below the clothes platform 1 by driving. In specific implementation, in order to facilitate the mutual cooperation between the various mechanisms, the width active folding structure is arranged on the frame of the folding machine 100, and the clothes platform 1 is supported and arranged above the width active folding mechanism. In addition, in order to avoid that the clothes platform 1 supports too much clothes in the thickness direction when the width active folding mechanism is folded, the clothes platform 1 specifically adopts a thinner plate-like structure so that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 can be fully folded in width. At the same time, in order to ensure that there is space for width folding between the clothes platform 1 and the width active folding mechanism, the clothes platform 1 and the width active folding mechanism have a certain distance in the up and down direction.

[0038] When in use, the clothes to be folded are placed on the clothes platform 1, and the middle part of the clothes is laid flat on the upper surface of the clothes platform 1, and the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 fall naturally. When working, the front part of the clothes is clamped by the clamping mechanism in the clothes folding machine 100 and the clothes are conveyed backwards, and the width active folding mechanism is started at the same time. When the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 pass through the working coverage area of ​​the width active folding mechanism, the width active folding mechanism provides a driving force toward the inner side of the lower side of the clothes platform 1 for the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1, so that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 are folded inwardly, thereby improving the folding efficiency of the clothes in the width direction. Since the width active folding mechanism is an active driving working mode, when implemented, the operating frequency of the width active folding mechanism can be further set to be adjustable, so as to adjust the corresponding working frequency according to the specific type of clothes, so that the width direction folding component 200 has a wider applicability. Compared with the method of forming width folding only by the structural cooperation of the clothes platform 1 and the width folding part, this scheme improves the smoothness of the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 when folding inwardly, and optimizes the effect of folding the clothes in the width direction.

[0039] Among them, Figure 4As shown, the width active folding mechanism includes two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2, which are respectively arranged on both sides below the clothing platform 1, and the conveying crawler mechanisms 2 are configured to convey the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 to the inner side below the clothing platform 1. In specific implementation, in order to facilitate installation and ensure the normal operation of the conveying crawler mechanisms 2, a support connection member 7 is also provided, and both sides of the support connection member 7 are used to be installed on the frame of the folding machine 100, and the two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2 are supported and arranged on the support connection member 7. The conveying crawler mechanism 2 includes a crawler component 21 and a motor assembly 22. The crawler component 21 provides driving force through the motor assembly 22, so that the crawler component 21 is driven from the side of the clothing platform 1 toward the inner side of the clothing platform 1. The crawler component 21 and the motor assembly 22 are respectively installed on the support connection member 7. In a preferred embodiment, the support connection member 7 includes two support connections 7 arranged at intervals in front and back, and the crawler component 21 is placed in the space formed by the two support connections 7 arranged at intervals in front and back. Since the track component 21 is in direct contact with the clothes, in specific implementation, the material of the portion of the track component 21 that is in contact with the clothes needs to be selected so that the clothes will not be worn during the contact process.

[0040] During operation, when the clothes to be folded are transported backwards, when the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 pass through the coverage area of ​​the conveying crawler mechanism 2, the two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2 located on both sides drive the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 from both sides of the clothing platform 1 to the inner side below the clothing platform 1, so that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 are moved closer to the inner side of the clothing platform 1 to be folded in the width direction.

[0041] In a specific implementation, the crawler components 21 of the conveying crawler mechanism 2 are all synchronously driven by the same motor assembly 22. The crawler components 21 of two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2 are driven by one motor assembly 22. When the two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2 drive the clothes to fall on the two sides of the loading platform from both sides, the synchronization is good, so that the folding effects on both sides are consistent. In a specific implementation, if the space of the clothes folding machine allows, each corresponding set of motor assemblies 22 can also be driven independently.

[0042] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, the outer edges of the two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2 correspond to the two side edges of the clothing loading platform 1 or are respectively located outside the two sides of the clothing loading platform 1.

[0043] During use, when the clothes to be folded are placed on the clothes platform 1, the parts falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 fall down along the edges of both sides of the clothes platform 1. When the clothes are transported backward, the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 move linearly backward along the edges of both sides of the clothes platform 1. The conveying crawler mechanism 2 can meet the requirement of covering the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1, so as to ensure that the conveying crawler mechanism 2 can drive the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 from both sides of the clothes platform 1 to the inner side below the clothes platform 1 when facing different clothes, so as to fold the clothes in the width direction. In specific implementation, in order to ensure that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1 have a good active driving effect, the outer edges of the crawler components 21 of the two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2 are extended a certain distance outside the two sides of the clothes platform 1, so as to completely cover the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothes platform 1.

[0044] In the specific implementation process, Figure 5 As shown, the track component 21 on each set of conveying track mechanisms 2 can be provided with a corresponding track, so that the clothes can be folded through a track in one driving direction to ensure the smoothness of folding.

[0045] like Figure 2-4 As shown, it also includes a feeding part 3 arranged between the clothing platform 1 and the conveying crawler mechanism 2, the conveying crawler mechanism 2 is arranged on the lower surface of the feeding part 3, the feeding part 3 is provided with a hollow position 31, the crawler component 21 of the conveying crawler mechanism 2 is placed at the hollow position 31, the upper surface of the crawler component 21 is parallel to or higher than the upper surface of the feeding part 3, and the feeding part 3 extends from the lower side of the clothing platform 1 to the rear of the clothing platform 1. In order to be able to contact the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 to play a driving function, the most preferred way is that the upper surface of the crawler component 21 of the crawler mechanism of this embodiment is slightly higher than the upper surface of the feeding part 3 at the hollow position 31.

[0046] It can be understood that when conveying clothes backwards, the feeding part 3 is first used to receive the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform. Secondly, the feeding part 3 can also support and guide the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing loading platform 1 from the bottom of the clothing loading platform 1 to the rear of the clothing loading platform 1 so as to smoothly enter the next folding process. At the same time, the lower surface of the feeding part 3 is used to install the conveying crawler mechanism 2, and the hollow position 31 is matched with the track component 21 of the corresponding conveying crawler mechanism 2. Then, when the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing loading platform 1 pass through the hollow position 31 during the process of being supported and guided by the feeding part 3, they can be driven by the conveying crawler mechanism 2 from both sides of the clothing loading platform 1 toward the inner side below the clothing loading platform 1, thereby being folded in the width direction.

[0047] The feeding part 3 is gradually inclined upward from the front to the back. In this way, the feeding part 3 can guide the clothes to be folded and fall on both sides of the clothes loading platform 1 to gradually move upward and close to the lower surface of the clothes loading platform 1, so as to gradually reduce the distance between the clothes loading platform 1 and the feeding part 3. The gradually reduced distance helps the two sides of the clothes to be gradually gathered under the middle part of the clothes after being folded during the backward conveying process, and finally fit under the middle part of the clothes; for thick clothes, it also helps to compress the thickness of the clothes when folding in the width direction.

[0048] In a specific implementation process, the conveying crawler mechanism 2 can be installed on the lower surface of the feeding part 3. Specifically, the supporting connecting member 7 is fixed on the lower surface of the feeding part 3, and the conveying crawler mechanism 2 is supported and fixed by the supporting connecting member 7.

[0049] In addition, a horizontal connecting part 4 is provided, which is connected to the rear side of the feeding part 3, so that the width-direction folding component can horizontally overlap the corresponding device of the next process through the horizontal connecting part 4, which helps the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing loading platform 1 to smoothly transition to the next process.

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a guide member 6, which is arranged below the clothing platform 1 and in front of the active width folding mechanism, and the guide member 6 guides the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 to move toward the inner side of the clothing platform 1 when moving backward. In a specific implementation, in order to better guide the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 to smoothly transition to the feeding part 3, the rear part of the guide member 6 is connected to the front part of the feeding part 3.

[0051] Furthermore, the front portion of the guide 6 has a U-shaped portion 61 with an opening facing forward. When working, the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothing platform 1 hang down on both sides inside the U-shaped portion 61. When the clothes are transported backward, the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothing platform 1 are guided by the U-shaped portion 61 and gradually gather toward the inner side of the clothing platform 1.

[0052] like Figure 2 , 4 6, it also includes two groups of limiters 5 respectively arranged on both sides of the clothing platform 1, which are used to limit the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the clothing platform 1 to the space between the limiters 5 and the clothing platform 1. In order to simplify the structure, in the specific implementation process, the two groups of limiters 5 can be fixed on both sides of the guide member 6, and the rear part of the guide member 6 is further connected to the feed part 3, and the lower part of the feed part 3 is supported by the support connection member 7. Therefore, when the two sides of the support connection member 7 are arranged on the frame of the folding machine 100, the width direction folding assembly provided with the above components can be stably installed as a whole; in some other embodiments, the limiters 5 can also be separately arranged from the guide members 6, in which case the limiters 5 can be directly arranged on the frame of the folding machine 100 to achieve support and fixation.

[0053] During operation, when clothes are transported backwards, the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothing platform 1 are reliably restricted in the space defined by the limit members 5 and the two sides of the clothing platform 1 and move linearly backwards, which helps the width active folding mechanism to stably drive the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothing platform 1 to be folded from the two sides of the clothing platform 1 toward the inner side below the clothing platform 1.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the guide member 6 is further provided with a support portion 62 for supporting the clothing platform 1. The support portion 62 improves the support strength of the clothing platform 1, and forms a gap between the clothing platform 1 and the guide member 6, so that when the clothes are transported backward, the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the clothing platform 1 are smoothly transported backward through the gap, and at the same time, the clothing platform 1 is raised, so that the clothing platform 1 and the feeding part 3 have a certain distance, and the space requirement when the conveying crawler mechanism 2 folds the clothes in width is met.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the front part of the clothing platform 1 has an extension part 11, which gradually extends downward from the back to the front. The extension part 11 allows the part of the clothes to be folded outside the front side of the clothing platform 1 to droop naturally along the extension part 11, avoiding the unfavorable situation that the clothes are stuck on the edge of the clothing platform 1 when conveying the clothes backward, so that the folding process is smooth.

[0056] When the clothes are folded, the folding machine 100 is provided with a clamping and moving mechanism which is arranged above the clothes loading platform 1 and can move backward. When the clothes to be folded are sent to the clothes loading platform 1 and clamped by the clamping and moving mechanism, the middle part of the clothes is clamped, and the two side parts of the clothes, such as the sleeves of the top, are guided to fall on the two sides of the clothes loading platform 1, and the position where they fall is limited by the limiter 5. When the clamping and moving mechanism is started and the clothes are conveyed backward, the clothes parts falling on the two sides of the clothes loading platform 1 are slightly gathered toward the middle direction below the clothes loading platform 1 by the guidance of the guide 6. When the clothes are conveyed backward continuously, the clothes parts falling on the two sides of the clothes loading platform 1 move to the width active folding mechanism below the clothes loading platform 1. At this time, two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 2 are used to provide a driving force toward the inner side of the clothes loading platform 1 on the left and the right respectively, so that the two side parts of the clothes are gradually driven to move toward the inner side below the clothes loading platform 1, thereby realizing the folding of the clothes width. During the backward conveying process, the feeding part 3 is gradually tilted upward from front to back, so that the distance between the clothing platform 1 and the active width folding mechanism in the vertical direction can be gradually reduced, and finally the folded part of the clothes can be folded up and down with the middle part of the clothes.
