Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Compared with the folding machines in the prior art, patent document CN112746482A discloses a clothing feeding device for the folding machine. However, the mechanical structure of the clothing feeding system is complicated, especially the driving coordination between the clamping mechanism for clamping and dragging the clothes forward and backward and the pressing mechanism for applying a pressing force to the clothes in the thickness direction is cumbersome, which affects the cost control of the device. In addition, the clamping assembly and the pressing mechanism occupy more space in the longitudinal direction, which is not conducive to the miniaturization design of the folding machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to overcome at least one defect of the prior art, and one of the purposes is to provide a clothes feeding system of a clothes folding machine, so as to solve the defect that the clothes feeding system of the existing clothes folding machine occupies a large space.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is to provide a clothing feeding system of a clothes folding machine, comprising a frame and a loading platform, a clamping assembly, a conveying mechanism, and a pressing mechanism arranged on the frame; the loading platform is located at the front of the frame and is used to carry clothes; the clamping assembly is located above the loading platform and is used to clamp the clothes and convey the clothes back and forth; the conveying mechanism is located behind the loading platform and is used to convey the clothes backward; the pressing mechanism is located above the conveying mechanism and is used to press down the clothes; the clamping assembly comprises a clamping mechanism and a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is arranged on the frame, the clamping mechanism is arranged on the driving mechanism and is configured to be movable back and forth, wherein the clamping mechanism is arranged with at least two parts at intervals along the width direction of the loading platform, and the space between any two adjacent clamping mechanisms corresponds to a part of the pressing mechanism.

[0005] In this solution, at least two clamping mechanisms are spaced in the width direction of the loading platform, and the spacing between the clamping mechanisms on both sides covers the width of the loading platform. When the clothes are placed on the loading platform, the clamping mechanisms on both sides are sufficient to cover the width of the clothes to form sufficient clamping force, and the driving mechanism further drives the clamping mechanism to move backward to convey the clothes. The clamping mechanism of this solution only needs to be configured to have a clamping function, and no additional mechanical mechanism is required between the clamping mechanisms to perform other forms of mutual movement, which helps to reduce the mechanical complexity of the clothing feeding system. In addition, in this solution, each pressing mechanism is located in the space between two adjacent clamping mechanisms. When the clamping mechanism moves forward and backward, there is no need to apply additional relative movement in other directions between the clamping mechanism and the pressing mechanism, and smooth forward and backward relative movement can be achieved, which can further avoid the situation of additionally setting other mechanical components, and the clamping mechanism and the pressing mechanism are compactly arranged in the longitudinal space and the transverse space, greatly reducing the space occupied by the clamping assembly and the pressing mechanism when they work together, so as to reduce the overall size of the clothing feeding system of the folding machine, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the folding machine.

[0006] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a roller, a roller bracket and a second support member, the second support member is fixed to the frame and located above the roller, the front end of the roller bracket is movably arranged on the second support member so that the rear end of the roller bracket can swing up and down, and the rear end of the roller bracket is used to sleeve the roller.

[0007] In this solution, after the clamping assembly drags the clothes backward to the top of the conveying mechanism, the pressing mechanism movably controls the roller bracket provided at one end of the second support member to swing the other end of the roller bracket sleeved with the roller downward, so that the roller presses the clothes tightly against the upper surface of the conveying mechanism. When the conveying mechanism conveys the clothes backward, the roller rotates under the action of friction and continuously presses down the clothes passing under it. The roller structure can continuously press down the clothes through the rotation of the roller itself, and can also reduce the wear of the roller structure on the surface of the clothes.

[0008] Furthermore, the roller supports are each provided with a pair of roller baffles spaced apart along the width direction of the conveying mechanism and a roller shaft connecting the front ends of a pair of roller supports, the rear ends of the roller supports are rotatably disposed on the second support, and any of the rollers can be rotatably disposed on the inner side of the corresponding pair of roller supports through the roller shaft.

[0009] This solution uses the roller support to produce a reliable limiting effect on the corresponding rollers on both sides, ensuring that the pressing mechanism is stably set in the space between two adjacent clamping mechanisms, so that the clamping mechanism can smoothly pass through the rollers of the pressing mechanism when moving backward.

[0010] Optionally, a limiting member is further provided on the roller support, and both ends of the limiting member are respectively supported and arranged between a pair of roller supporting members.

[0011] By providing the limiting member, the reliability of each roller when it is arranged between a corresponding pair of roller support members can be further improved, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the clothing feeding system.

[0012] Optionally, the limiting member includes a first limiting member and a second limiting member, the first limiting member is located on a side close to the second supporting member, and the second limiting member is located on a side close to the roller.

[0013] Optionally, any pair of the roller baffles is rotatably connected to the second support member via a pair of rotating assemblies, and the pair of rotating assemblies are disposed on both sides of the second support member.

[0014] The rotating component of the present invention plays a role of rotational driving on the one hand, and a supporting role on the other hand, so that a stable distance is maintained between a pair of roller supports to meet the requirements of sleeve rollers. At the same time, since the rotating component can be set as a cylindrical structure with a larger contact area, the reliability of the pressing mechanism when controlling the roller support through the rotating component rotation is also improved.

[0015] Furthermore, a limiting device is provided at the rear of the second supporting member for limiting the extreme position of the rearward movement of the clamping assembly.

[0016] Preferably, the limiting device is a limiting plate arranged behind the second supporting member, and at least one side of the limiting plate in the width direction is located outside at least one side of the corresponding width direction of the clamping mechanism.

[0017] Optionally, both ends of the limit plate are fixedly arranged on the second support member through connecting pieces respectively; optionally, the connecting piece is an L-shaped connecting piece.

[0018] In some embodiments, the connection hole between the L-shaped connection member and the second support member is an oblong hole, and / or the connection hole between the L-shaped connection member and the limiting plate is an oblong hole.

[0019] The design of the oblong hole allows the limiting plate to have a certain adjustment space in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, so as to achieve a better blocking and limiting effect on the clamping component.

[0020] Furthermore, the driving mechanism is located above the clamping mechanism, and the clamping mechanism includes a clamping component and a first supporting component, the first supporting component is provided with a transverse connecting portion and a longitudinal connecting portion, the transverse connecting portion is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism and is located above the roller, the upper end of the longitudinal connecting portion is connected to the transverse connecting portion, and the lower end of the longitudinal connecting portion is connected to the clamping component.

[0021] The transverse connecting part in the present solution is located above the roller and the longitudinal connecting part is located outside the two sides of the roller in the width direction to connect the corresponding clamping parts, so that the rollers are all located in the space between the corresponding two adjacent clamping mechanisms. At the same time, the clamping mechanism is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism located above it through the transverse connecting part, so that the rollers of the driving mechanism, the clamping mechanism and the pressing mechanism are compactly arranged in the longitudinal direction, which can ensure that the clamping mechanism does not interfere with each other when moving backward through the roller or the roller presses down the clothes on the conveying mechanism, and also saves the overall space occupied by the clothing feeding system.

[0022] Furthermore, the driving mechanism is provided with a guide rail extending forward and backward and a slider arranged on the guide rail, and the transverse connecting portion is arranged on the slider.

[0023] Preferably, the guide rail comprises two sliding rods arranged in parallel, the width sides of the sliding block are respectively slidably arranged on the two sliding rods, and the middle part of the sliding block is arranged at the driving end of the driving mechanism.

[0024] In this solution, the driving end of the driving mechanism drives the slider to translate forward and backward along the two parallel slide bars to perform stable linear motion, so that the transverse connecting part provided on the slider drives the corresponding clamping mechanism to transport the clothes forward and backward.

[0025] Furthermore, the transverse connecting parts are each provided with a first groove opening toward the rear, and the second supporting members are each provided with a second groove opening toward the front and matching the first groove, and when the clamping mechanism moves backward to a preset position, the first groove is clamped with the corresponding second groove.

[0026] This solution can stop the clamping assembly from moving backward by matching and engaging the first groove and the second groove, thereby providing another stable and reliable limiting method for the clamping assembly.

[0027] Furthermore, the clamping mechanisms are each provided with a position sensor.

[0028] This solution automatically senses the backward movement position of the clamping mechanism through a position sensor, thereby realizing automatic control of the backward movement of the clamping mechanism.

[0029] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism is provided with three parts, wherein the spacing between the two clamping mechanisms provided at the outermost sides covers both sides of the loading platform, and the pressing mechanism is provided with two parts accordingly.

[0030] In this solution, the clothes are laid flat on the loading platform, and the clamping mechanism clamps the front of the clothes along the width direction. When facing large-sized clothes, the front end of the clothes can be clamped by three clamping mechanisms at the same time or only the clamping mechanisms on both sides can be used. The specific adjustment can be flexibly adjusted according to the adaptability of the clothes; when facing small-sized clothes, only the middle clamping mechanism is needed for clamping; and when facing some other folding requirements, only two clamping mechanisms on the same side can be used for clamping. In this way, the three clamping mechanisms can realize reliable clamping and dragging of clothes of different widths, and the thickness of the clothes can be pressed down by two pressing mechanisms to make the creases obvious and play a role in flattening the clothes. This solution also reduces the mechanical components of the clothing feeding system, which helps to miniaturize the overall system and simplify the layout.

[0031] Furthermore, it also includes an active width folding mechanism, which is arranged below the loading platform and is used to fold the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the loading platform to the inner side below the loading platform by driving.

[0032] In this solution, the clothes to be folded are placed on the loading platform, and the middle part of the clothes is laid flat on the upper surface of the loading platform. The parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform naturally hang down. At this time, the clamping assembly conveys the clothes backwards and starts the width active folding mechanism. When the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading 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 loading platform for the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform, so that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform are folded inwardly, thereby improving the efficiency of folding the clothes in the width direction. Compared with the method of forming width folding only by the structural coordination of the loading platform and the width folding part, this solution improves the smoothness of the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading 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.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: by arranging each pressing mechanism in the space between two adjacent clamping mechanisms, the forward and backward movement of the clamping mechanism or the longitudinal movement of the pressing mechanism do not interfere with each other, and the space layout between the two mechanisms is compact, which can greatly reduce the occupied space of the clothing feeding system, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the entire folding machine; through the coordinated cooperation of the limiting device behind the pressing mechanism and the first groove of the transverse connecting part and the second groove of the second supporting member, a reliable limiting control is formed for the rearward position of the clamping assembly, which helps to improve the overall operating stability of the clothing feeding system; through the active width folding mechanism, the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform are actively driven to the inner side of the loading platform to form a preliminary fold in the width direction, and the downward pressure of the pressing mechanism deepens the crease and flattens the clothes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] 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.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the present embodiment provides a clothing feeding system 11 of a clothes folding machine 1, comprising a frame 12 and a loading platform 100, a clamping assembly 300, a conveying mechanism 400, and a pressing mechanism 500 arranged on the frame 12; the loading platform 100 is located at the front of the frame 12, and is used for carrying clothes; the clamping assembly 300 is located above the loading platform 100, and is used for clamping clothes and conveying clothes forward and backward; the conveying mechanism 400 is arranged at the rear of the loading platform 100, and is used for conveying clothes backward; the pressing mechanism 500 is arranged above the conveying mechanism 400, and is used for pressing clothes downward; the clamping assembly 300 comprises a clamping mechanism 310 and a driving mechanism 330, the driving mechanism 330 is arranged on the frame 12, the clamping mechanism 310 is arranged on the driving mechanism 330 and is configured to be movable forward and backward, wherein the clamping mechanism 310 is arranged with at least two parts at intervals along the width direction of the loading platform 100, and a pressing mechanism 500 is correspondingly arranged in the space between any two adjacent clamping mechanisms 310.

[0048] During implementation, the conveying mechanism 400 is connected to the loading platform 100 front to back, and the width direction is the same or the conveying mechanism 400 is larger than the width of the loading platform 100. The spacing between the clamping mechanisms 310 located on both sides above the loading platform 100 covers the width of the loading platform 100. When in use, the clothes are laid flat on the loading platform 100, and the clamping mechanisms 310 on both sides are sufficient to clamp the front part of the clothes along the width direction to form a reliable clamping, and then the driving mechanism 330 drives the clamping mechanism 310 to move backward to convey the clothes. In this way, the clamping mechanism 310 of this embodiment only needs to be configured to have a clamping function, and there is no need to configure additional mechanical mechanisms between the clamping mechanisms 310 to perform other forms of mutual movement, thereby reducing the mechanical complexity of the clothing feeding system 11. In addition, when the clamping mechanism 310 of the present embodiment moves forward and backward, it can be achieved only by driving the driving mechanism 330 forward and backward, and there is no need to apply additional relative movement in other directions between the clamping mechanism 310 and the pressing mechanism 500, so as to achieve smooth forward and backward relative movement. Similarly, when the pressing mechanism 500 moves up and down, it does not interfere with the clamping mechanism 310, thereby avoiding the need to set up other mechanical components, and making the clamping mechanism 310 and the pressing mechanism 500 compactly arranged in the longitudinal space and the lateral space, greatly reducing the space occupied by the clamping assembly 300 and the pressing mechanism 500 when they work together, so as to reduce the overall size of the clothing feeding system 11 of the folding machine 1, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the folding machine 1.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the pressing mechanism 500 includes a roller 510, a roller bracket 520 and a second support member 540. The second support member 540 is fixed to the frame 12 and is located above the roller 510. The rear end of the roller bracket 520 is movably arranged on the second support member 540 so that the front end of the roller bracket 520 can swing up and down. The front end of the roller bracket 520 is sleeved with the roller 510.

[0050] In actual work, when the clamping assembly 300 drags the clothes backward to the top of the conveying mechanism 400 and passes under the pressing mechanism 500, the pressing mechanism 500 movably controls the roller bracket 520 provided at the rear end of the second support member 540, so that the front end of the roller bracket 520 provided with the roller 510 swings downward, so that the roller 510 presses the clothes against the upper surface of the conveying mechanism 400, and the conveying mechanism 400 continues to convey the clothes backward. The roller 510 rotates under the action of friction and continuously presses down on the clothes passing under it, so as to achieve the purpose of smoothing the surface of the clothes.

[0051] Among them, the roller brackets 520 are each provided with a pair of roller support members 521 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 400 and a roller shaft 523 connecting the front ends of the pair of roller support members 521. The rear ends of the roller support members 521 are rotatably arranged on the second support member 540. Any roller 510 can be rotatably arranged on the inner side of the corresponding pair of roller support members 521 through the roller shaft 523.

[0052] During actual operation, the roller 510 is driven to rotate by the friction force generated by the movement of the conveying mechanism 400, and the roller support 521 produces a reliable limiting effect on the corresponding roller 510 on both sides, so that the pressing mechanism 500 is stably set in the space between the two adjacent clamping mechanisms 310. In this way, when moving backward, the two sides of the adjacent clamping mechanisms 310 can smoothly pass through the corresponding pressing mechanism 500.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, a stopper 522 is also provided on the roller support 520, and both ends of the stopper 522 are respectively supported and arranged between a pair of roller support members 521. In specific implementation, the stopper 522 includes a first stopper 522a and a second stopper 522b, the first stopper 522a is located on the side close to the second support member 540, and the second stopper 522b is located on the side close to the roller 510. The reliability of each roller 510 when it is arranged between the corresponding pair of roller baffles 521 can be further improved, and the overall structural strength of the clothing feeding system 11 can be improved.

[0054] In addition, any pair of roller support members 521 is rotatably connected to the second support member 540 through a pair of rotating assemblies 530, and the pair of rotating assemblies 530 are respectively arranged on both sides of the second support member 540. The roller support member 521 can be swung up and down by the rotating assembly 530, and the connection strength between the roller support member 521 and the second support member 540 can be improved. At the same time, the rotating assembly 530 can be set as a cylindrical structure. Since the rotating assembly has a large contact area, the stability of the pressing mechanism 500 when the roller bracket 520 is controlled by the rotating assembly 530 is also improved.

[0055] like Figure 2 and 6 As shown, a limiting device is also provided at the rear of the second support member 540 to limit the extreme position of the rearward movement of the clamping assembly 300. In specific implementation, the limiting device is a limiting plate 600 provided at the rear of the second support member 540, and at least one side of the limiting plate 600 in the width direction is respectively located outside at least one side of the width direction of the corresponding clamping mechanism 310, that is, the limiting plate 600 can be configured to be outside a side edge in the width direction of the corresponding clamping mechanism 310, and can complete the limiting function of the rearward movement of the clamping mechanism 310 at a certain position. A preferred embodiment is that the limiting plate 600 is respectively located outside the two sides in the width direction of the corresponding clamping mechanism 310. To facilitate installation, the limiting plate 600 adapted to each pressing mechanism 500 is integrally arranged and has an extended length along the width direction of the conveying mechanism 400, forming a plate-like shape with an extended length in the width direction of the conveying mechanism 400. At this time, both sides of the limiting plate 600 are respectively located outside the two sides in the width direction of the clamping assembly 300, thereby producing a blocking effect on the clamping assembly 300 and playing a limiting role.

[0056] like Figure 6-8 As shown, both ends of the limiting plate 600 are fixedly arranged on the second support member 540 through connecting members. In a specific implementation, an L-shaped connecting member 610 is adopted, one side of the L-shaped connecting member 610 is arranged on the second support member 540, and the other side is connected to the limiting plate 600.

[0057] In some embodiments, in order to allow the limiting plate 600 to have a certain adjustment space, the connecting hole between the L-shaped connecting member 610 and the second supporting member 540 is a first oblong hole 611, and / or the connecting hole between the L-shaped connecting member 610 and the limiting plate 600 is a second oblong hole 620. In this way, when a fixing member is applied to the first oblong hole 611 or the second oblong hole 620, the limiting plate 600 can be adjusted longitudinally and / or transversely, thereby achieving a better blocking and limiting effect on the clamping assembly 300.

[0058] like Figure 2-5As shown, the driving mechanism 330 is located above the clamping mechanism 310, and the clamping mechanism 310 includes a clamping component 311 and a first support member 320. The first support member 320 is provided with a transverse connection portion 321 and a longitudinal connection portion 322. The transverse connection portion 321 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism 330 and is located above the roller 510. The upper end of the longitudinal connection portion 322 is connected to the transverse connection portion 321, and the lower end of the longitudinal connection portion 322 is connected to the clamping component 311. In the specific implementation, in order to simplify the layout, the transverse connecting parts 321 of the multiple clamping mechanisms 310 are set as an integrated structure, and the longitudinal connecting parts 322 of the multiple clamping mechanisms 310 are connected to the integrated transverse connecting parts 321. In the specific implementation, the transverse connecting parts 321 and the longitudinal connecting parts 322 can be plate-shaped, and two adjacent longitudinal connecting parts 322 and the part of the transverse connecting part 321 between the two form an "n" shape, and three longitudinal connecting parts 322 and the part of the transverse connecting parts 321 between the three are connected to form an "m" shape, and so on.

[0059] It can be understood that the transverse connecting portion 321 is located above the roller 510 and the longitudinal connecting portion 322 is located outside the two sides of the roller 510 in the width direction and is connected to the corresponding clamping parts 311, so that the rollers 510 are all located in the space between the corresponding two adjacent clamping mechanisms 310. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 310 is connected to the driving end of the driving mechanism 330 located above it through the transverse connecting portion 321, so that the driving mechanism 330, the clamping mechanism 310 and the roller 510 of the pressing mechanism 500 are compactly arranged in the longitudinal direction, which can ensure that the clamping mechanism 310 does not interfere with each other when moving backward through the roller 510 or the roller 510 presses down the clothes on the conveying mechanism 400, and also saves the overall space occupied by the clothing feeding system 11.

[0060] In specific implementation, in order to save mechanical structure and achieve good clothing feeding effect, Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 310 is provided with three parts, wherein the spacing between the two clamping mechanisms 310 disposed at the outermost sides covers both sides of the stage 100, the pressing mechanism 500 is provided with two parts correspondingly, and the third clamping mechanism 310 is disposed between the two clamping mechanisms 310 at the outermost sides. A preferred embodiment is that the three clamping mechanisms 310 are distributed at equal spacings.

[0061] When working, the clothes are laid flat on the loading platform 100, and the clamping mechanism 310 clamps the front of the clothes along the width direction. When facing large-sized clothes, the front end of the clothes can be clamped by three clamping mechanisms 310 at the same time or only the two outermost clamping mechanisms 310 can be selected. The specific adjustment can be flexibly adjusted according to the adaptability of the clothes; when facing small-sized clothes, only the middle clamping mechanism 310 is needed for clamping; and when facing some other folding requirements, only two adjacent clamping mechanisms 310 can be used for clamping. In this way, the three clamping mechanisms 310 can realize reliable clamping and conveying of clothes of different widths, and the thickness of the clothes can be pressed down by two pressing mechanisms 500 to play the role of flattening the clothes, and the mechanical components of the clothing feeding system 11 can be reduced, which is conducive to the miniaturization and simplified layout of the system as a whole.

[0062] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the driving mechanism 330 is provided with a guide rail 332 extending forward and backward and a slider disposed on the guide rail 332, and the transverse connecting portion 321 is disposed on the slider 333. In a specific implementation, in order to improve the support stability of the clamping component 311, the guide rail 332 includes two parallel sliding rods 332a, and the width sides of the slider 333 are respectively slidably disposed on the two sliding rods 332a, and the middle part of the slider 333 is disposed at the driving end of the driving mechanism 330. In a specific implementation, the driving end can be a spiral screw 331. The driving end of the driving mechanism 330 drives the slider 333 to translate forward and backward along the two parallel sliding rods 332a to make a stable linear motion, so that the transverse connecting portion 321 disposed on the slider 333 drives the corresponding clamping component 311 to transport the clothes forward and backward.

[0063] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the transverse connecting portion 321 is provided with a first groove 321a opening toward the rear, and the second supporting member 540 is provided with a second groove 541 opening toward the front and matching the first groove 321a. When the clamping mechanism 310 moves backward to a preset position, the first groove 321a is clamped into the corresponding second groove 541.

[0064] During operation, the first groove 321 a and the second groove 541 are matched and engaged to stop the clamping assembly 300 from moving backward, thereby providing another stable and reliable limiting method for the clamping assembly 300 .

[0065] In addition, the clamping mechanism 310 can be provided with a position sensor 312 as required. The position sensor 312 automatically senses the rearward position of the clamping mechanism 310, thereby realizing automatic control of the rearward movement of the clamping mechanism 310.

[0066] like Figure 2 , Fig. 9As shown, the conveying mechanism 400 is a crawler device, which includes a crawler component 410 and a motor 420. The crawler component 410 is provided with at least two rollers 411, and the two rollers 411 are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the crawler component 410. The driving end of the motor 420 drives at least one of the rollers 411 to rotate and drive the crawler component 410.

[0067] like Figure 2 , Fig.10 As shown, it also includes an active width folding mechanism 200, which is arranged below the loading platform 100 and is used to fold the parts of the clothes that fall on both sides of the loading platform 100 to the inner side below the loading platform 100 by driving.

[0068] During operation, the clothes to be folded are placed on the loading platform 100, and the middle part of the clothes is laid flat on the upper surface of the loading platform 100, then the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform 100 fall naturally, at this time, the clamping assembly 300 conveys the clothes backwards, and starts the width active folding mechanism 200, then when the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform 100 pass through the working coverage area of ​​the width active folding mechanism 200, the width active folding mechanism 200 provides the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform 100 with a driving force toward the inner side below the loading platform 100, so that the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform 100 are folded inwardly, thereby improving the efficiency of folding the clothes in the width direction. Compared with the method of forming width folding only by the structural cooperation of the loading platform 100 and the width folding part, this embodiment improves the smoothness of the parts of the clothes falling on both sides of the loading platform 100 when folding inwardly, and also has the advantages of flexibility and controllability, greatly optimizing the effect of folding the clothes in the width direction.

[0069] In a specific implementation, the active width folding mechanism 200 includes two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 210, which are respectively arranged on both sides below the loading platform 100. The conveying crawler mechanisms 210 are configured to convey the parts of the clothes to be folded that fall on both sides of the loading platform 100 to the inner side below the loading platform 100.

[0070] In specific applications, when the clothes to be folded are sent to the loading platform 100 and clamped by the clamping mechanism 310, different clamping mechanisms 310 can be selected according to the size, shape, etc. of the clothes to clamp the middle part of the clothes. At this time, the two side parts of the clothes, such as the sleeves of a top, are guided to fall on both sides of the loading platform 100. When the driving mechanism 330 is started to drive the clamping mechanism 310 to transport the clothes backward, the clothes parts falling on both sides of the loading platform 100 are continuously transported backward. When the clothes parts falling on both sides of the loading platform 100 move to the width active folding mechanism 200 below the loading platform 100, at this time, two sets of conveying crawler mechanisms 210 provide a driving force toward the inside of the loading platform 100 to the two side parts of the clothes, one on the left and one on the right, respectively, so that the two side parts of the clothes are gradually driven to move inward below the loading platform 100, thereby realizing the folding of the width of the clothes. The driving mechanism 330 continues to drive the clamping mechanism 310 backward, and the clamping mechanism 310 passes smoothly from one side of the corresponding roller 510 until the clothes clamped at the front end of the clamping mechanism 310 pass through the track component 410 below the roller 510. The pressing mechanism 500 controls the roller 510 to press down so that the clothes are pressed against the upper surface of the track component 410 until the rear of the clamping mechanism 310 touches the limit device 600, and the clamping mechanism 310 releases the clothes. At the same time, the driving mechanism 330 stops driving the clamping mechanism 310 backward synchronously. Thereafter, the conveying mechanism 400 controls the track component 410 to continuously convey the clothes backward, and the friction between the surface of the clothes and the roller 510 continuously drives the roller 510 to rotate, so that the roller 510 continuously presses down the clothes conveyed backward until the clothes completely pass under the roller 510. Then, the clothes complete the feeding process and are fully pressed down and flattened by the roller 510.
