[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a glove folding mechanism includes a supporting mechanism and a connecting mechanism.
[0024] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the support mechanism includes a mounting seat 31, and a movable sleeve 33, a compression sleeve 35 and a fixed block 41 which are sleeved and coaxially arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside. The movable sleeve cylinder 32 is installed on the mounting seat 31, and the movable sleeve cylinder 32 drives the movable sleeve 33 to slide along its axial direction. The end of the movable sleeve 33 close to the docking mechanism is used to sleeve the glove. Specifically, the end of the movable sleeve 33 close to the docking mechanism protrudes radially outward to form a sleeve ring 332. The movable sleeve 33 is provided with a sleeve groove 333 on the side of the sleeve ring 332 close to the mounting seat 31, and the outer diameter of the sleeve groove 333 is smaller than the outer diameter of the sleeve ring 332. The wrist of the glove is tightened by increasing the diameter of the sleeve ring 332, and the wrist end of the glove is clamped and fixed in position by the end of the sleeve ring 332 close to the sleeve groove 333.
[0025] The compression sleeve 35 is in contact with the base of the movable sleeve 33 near the mounting seat 31. The compression spring 34 is used to make the movable sleeve 33 in the extended position and the compression sleeve 35 is blocked, so that the relative position of the movable sleeve 33 and the compression sleeve 35 can be moved. Preferably, there are multiple compression springs 34 and they are evenly distributed along the circumference of the movable sleeve 33. The compression springs 34 are sleeved outside the positioning column, and the bending direction and trajectory of the compression springs 34 during the compression process are positioned by the positioning column. A gap is set between the compression sleeve 35 and the bottom and side wall of the movable sleeve 33.
[0026] The fixing block 41 is fixedly arranged relative to the mounting seat 31, and a vent hole 43 for ventilating the inside of the glove is arranged on the fixing block 41. Preferably, a detection device for detecting the air pressure inside the glove is also arranged on the fixing block 41, and an air pressure detection hole 44 connecting the detection device and the inside of the glove is arranged in the fixing block 41. The detection device detects the real-time air pressure inside the glove after inflation through the air pressure detection hole 44. The end of the fixing block 41 close to the docking mechanism is fixedly connected to a supporting tongue piece 42 for supporting the glove.
[0027] A push plate 54 is provided on one side of the fixed block 41 facing the docking mechanism, and the push plate 54 moves axially along the fixed block 41. Specifically, the support mechanism further includes a push plate cylinder 51, which is provided on the mounting seat 31, and a piston rod of the push plate cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to a push block 52, which is slidably provided between the mounting seat 31 and the base of the movable sleeve 33, and the push block 52 is fixedly connected to the push plate 54 through a push rod 53, and the push rod 53 is parallel to the axis direction of the fixed block 41. Thus, the push plate 54 is driven to move by the action of the push plate cylinder 51.
[0028] Preferably, it also includes an elastic clip 36, the elastic clip 36 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the compression sleeve 35 at one end close to the mounting seat 31, the middle part of the elastic clip 36 extends radially outward along the movable sleeve 33, and the elastic clip 36 extends radially inward along the movable sleeve 33 at one end close to the docking mechanism, so that the elastic clip 36 is V-shaped and the opening is facing the axial direction of the movable sleeve 33, and a clip retaining ring 331 is provided on the inner wall of the movable sleeve 33. When the movable sleeve 33 moves to a predetermined position relative to the compression sleeve 35 in the direction of the docking mechanism, the clip retaining ring 331 presses the middle part of the elastic clip 36 downward in the axial direction of the movable sleeve 33, so that the elastic clip 36 is close to the docking mechanism and abuts against the side wall of the fixed block 41. The compression sleeve 35 is provided with a through groove at the position where the elastic clip 36 is installed, so that the elastic clip 36 passes through the side wall of the compression sleeve 35 and abuts against the movable sleeve 33 and the fixed block 41 respectively.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the docking mechanism includes a docking sleeve 83, which reciprocates axially along the fixed block 41; when the docking sleeve 83 is in the extended position, the support tongue 42 is inserted into the docking sleeve 83. The docking sleeve 83 is U-shaped, and the U-shaped opening is upward. Preferably, the lower surface of the docking sleeve 83 includes a bottom plate and lower inclined plates on both sides of the bottom plate, and the lower inclined plates are inclined downward in a direction close to the bottom plate. Upper inclined plates are arranged on both sides of the U-shaped opening, and the upper inclined plates are inclined upward in a direction close to the opening. The docking mechanism also includes a docking cylinder 81, which is arranged along the axial direction of the fixed block 41, and the docking sleeve 83 is fixedly connected to the moving part of the docking cylinder 81, so that the docking sleeve 83 is driven to move by the action of the docking cylinder 81. The docking cylinder 81 is relatively fixedly arranged with the mounting seat 31.
[0030] The folding process consists of the following steps:
[0031] S1. The movable sleeve 33 is in the extended position, ie, close to the side of the docking mechanism, the compression sleeve 35 and the support tongue 42 are located in the movable sleeve 33, and the glove to be folded is sleeved on the sleeve groove 333 of the movable sleeve 33;
[0032] S2. The glove on the movable sleeve 33 is pre-inflated through the vent hole 43 to make the glove stand straight. The wrist end of the glove moves toward the docking mechanism under the action of air pressure until it is engaged with the end of the sleeve ring 332 and positioned. At this time, the detection device detects the air pressure in the glove. If the air pressure is too low, it means that the glove is obviously damaged, and the operator removes the damaged glove.
[0033] S3. The movable sleeve cylinder 32 drives the movable sleeve 33 to move toward the mounting seat 31, and exposes the supporting 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;
[0034] S4. The air in the glove is extracted through the vent hole 43, so that the glove droops naturally, and the end of the supporting tongue 42 is located at the base of the glove finger or the palm of the hand near the base of the finger;
[0035] S5. The connecting cylinder 81 drives the connecting sleeve 83 to extend toward the direction close to the supporting mechanism, and the finger portion of the glove is folded toward the palm of the glove under the enclosing effect of the bottom plate and side walls of the connecting sleeve 83;
[0036] S6. Inflate the glove through the vent hole 43;
[0037] S7. The movable sleeve 33 drives the compression sleeve 35 to move toward the direction close to the docking mechanism. When the base of the compression sleeve 35 abuts against the end surface of the fixed block 41, the compression sleeve 35 stops moving and the movable sleeve 33 continues to move, resulting in a decrease in 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, increasing the air pressure in the glove, until the air pressure causes the wrist of the glove to detach from the sleeve ring 332 and fold toward the docking mechanism under the action of elasticity, and wrap around the outside of the docking sleeve 83, forming a folding structure in which the wrist wraps around the palm and fingers, completing the folding of a single glove;
[0038] S8. The connecting sleeve 83 drives the folded single glove to retreat to the retracted position away from the supporting mechanism;
[0039] 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 been folded;
[0040] S10. The movable sleeve 33 continues to move toward the docking mechanism, so that the clip retaining ring 331 presses the middle of the elastic clip 36 toward the axial direction, and the end of the elastic clip 36 presses the folded glove against the side wall of the fixed block 41;
[0041] S11. The connecting cylinder 81 drives the connecting sleeve 83 to return to the retracted position, so that the connecting sleeve 83 is separated from the folded gloves;
[0042] S12. The movable sleeve 33 moves toward the mounting seat 31, so that the clip retaining ring 331 is separated from the elastic clip 36, and the elastic clip 36 no longer clamps the glove;
[0043] S13. The push plate cylinder 51 drives the push plate 54 to move toward the connecting mechanism, pushing the glove from the fixing block 41, so that the glove is separated from the supporting mechanism and enters the next process.
[0044] The present invention is described above by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and any changes or modifications based on the present invention belong to the scope of protection required by the present invention.
