Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes a garment ironing device, including a machine body 10, a conveying device 40, an ironing device, and a discharging device 50.

[0058] The machine body 10 is provided with an ironing channel, an ironing inlet 12 and an ironing outlet 13. The ironing inlet 12 is connected to one end of the ironing channel for the garment carrying mechanism 20 with rollers 21 to enter the ironing channel. The ironing outlet 13 is connected to the other end of the ironing channel for the garment carrying mechanism 20 to exit the ironing channel.

[0059] The feeding device 30 includes a guide rail 31 and a dispensing mechanism. One end of the guide rail 31 extends to the ironing inlet 12 to support the rollers 21 and guide the rollers 21 to move to the ironing inlet 12. The dispensing mechanism is used to block and release the rollers 21 on the guide rail 31 so that the rollers 21 on the guide rail 31 are conveyed to the ironing inlet 12 one by one.

[0060] In this embodiment, the garment carrying mechanism 20 can be a clothes hanger for hanging garments, such as shirts. At least one roller 21 is connected to the top of the clothes hanger. The roller 21 is a wheel structure. The roller 21 rolls on the guide rail 31 to realize the transport of the garment carrying mechanism 20, reduce the friction between the two, ensure smooth operation, reduce the phenomenon of running jam, and ensure the normal operation of the ironing equipment.

[0061] In some embodiments, the guide rail 31 extends downward at an angle from the end away from the conveying device 40, such as at an angle of 15 degrees, so that the garment carrying mechanism 20 with rollers 21 moves along the guide rail 31 under its own weight for transmission. The structure is simple, the cost is low, no additional drive is required, no external energy is consumed, and it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, other assist structures or speed regulation structures can also be used to adjust the operating speed of the garment carrying mechanism 20 and control the operation of the garment carrying mechanism 20 more precisely.

[0063] The conveying device 40 includes a slide rail and a hanging mechanism 42. The slide rail is disposed in the ironing channel, with one end of the slide rail extending to the ironing inlet 12 and the other end extending to the ironing outlet 13. The hanging mechanism 42 is movably connected to the slide rail for receiving and hanging the roller 21 released by the feeding device 30 at the ironing inlet 12, and for conveying the roller 21 along the slide rail to the ironing outlet 13.

[0064] In this embodiment, the hanging mechanism 42 cooperates with the slide rail to drive the garment carrying mechanism 20 with rollers 21 to run smoothly in the ironing channel. This can reduce the running jamming phenomenon that occurs during the entire ironing process, ensure the normal operation of the ironing equipment, and improve the ironing efficiency of the ironing equipment. The slide rail can be a circular track, with one part located inside the ironing channel and the other part located outside the ironing channel. After reaching the ironing outlet 13, the hanging mechanism 42 can continue to run to the ironing inlet 12 to realize the cyclic operation on the slide rail, so as to transport different garment carrying mechanisms 20 into the ironing channel for ironing.

[0065] The ironing device is installed inside the machine body 10 and is used to iron the garments on the garment carrier 20 that are conveyed by the hanging mechanism 42.

[0066] In this embodiment, the ironing device may include a steam mechanism and a hot air ironing mechanism. The high-temperature steam generated by the steam mechanism disinfects and softens the garment, while the hot air ironing mechanism irons the garment smooth. The working time and temperature of the above process can be adjusted according to the material and thickness of the garment to achieve the best results.

[0067] One end of the discharge device 50 extends to the ironing outlet 13 to receive the garment carrying mechanism 20 that is output from the ironing channel by the hanging mechanism 42.

[0068] The garment ironing equipment provided by this utility model utilizes a guide rail 31 to support and guide the rollers 21 of the garment carrying mechanism 20. Furthermore, the cooperation between the hanging mechanism 42 and the slide rail ensures that the garment carrying mechanism 20 runs smoothly within the ironing channel. This reduces the occurrence of operational jams during the entire ironing process, guarantees the normal operation of the ironing equipment, and improves the ironing efficiency of the ironing equipment.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The material distribution mechanism includes a base 321, a blocking component 322, and a driving component 323.

[0070] The blocking member 322 is movably mounted on the base 321. The blocking member 322 moves between the blocking position and the avoidance position. When the blocking member 322 is in the blocking position, it is used to block the roller 21 so that at least one garment carrying mechanism 20 is buffered on the guide rail 31, thus completing the buffering of multiple garment carrying mechanisms 20. When the blocking member 322 is in the avoidance position, it is used to release one roller 21 to be conveyed to the ironing inlet 12.

[0071] In this embodiment, the blocking member 322 is disposed on the path of the roller 21 moving along the guide rail 31. It can enter the travel range of the roller 21 to block multiple rollers 21 and stop them on the guide rail 31, thereby completing the buffering of multiple garment carrying mechanisms 20; it can also exit the travel range of the roller 21 so that the roller 21 can be transported along the guide rail 31. This process does not require manual operation and can complete the sorting of garment carrying mechanisms 20, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve work efficiency.

[0072] The driving component 323 is used to drive the blocking component 322 to reciprocate between the blocking position and the avoidance position. For example, the driving component 323 can be a cylinder, which drives the blocking component 322 to reciprocate between the blocking position and the avoidance position, resulting in a simple structure and reliable operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving component 323 can also be other components, such as a motor, and is not limited thereto.

[0073] For details, please refer to Figure 4 The blocking member 322 has a first end 3221, a second end 3222, and a fulcrum 3223 disposed between the first end 3221 and the second end 3222. The blocking member 322 is rotatably connected to the base 321 through the fulcrum 3223. The first end 3221 is connected to the output end of the driving member 323. The second end 3222 rotates about the fulcrum 3223 as a pivot to reciprocate between the blocking position and the yielding position, for blocking and releasing the roller 21.

[0074] When the driving component 323 is selected as a cylinder, the output end of the cylinder is connected to the first end 3221. When the output end extends, the second end 3222 is in the blocking position; when the output end retracts, the second end 3222 moves from the blocking position to the clearance position. Each time the second end 3222 moves from the blocking position to the clearance position, one garment carrying mechanism 20 is released to the ironing inlet 12.

[0075] Specifically, the second end 3222 is constructed with a front blocking part 3224 and a rear blocking part 3225. The front blocking part 3224 and the rear blocking part 3225 are arranged adjacent to each other. When the second end 3222 is in the blocking position, the rear blocking part 3225 blocks one roller 21. When the second end 3222 is in the clearance position, the garment carrying mechanism 20 at the rear blocking part 3225 is conveyed to the ironing inlet 12, and the front blocking part 3224 blocks the next roller 21 to prevent the next roller 21 from moving with the previous roller 21 and to prevent multiple rollers 21 (i.e. multiple garment carrying mechanisms 20) from feeding at the same time.

[0076] Preferably, the front blocking part 3224 and the rear blocking part 3225 are respectively arc-shaped structures that match the shape of the roller 21, thereby improving the fit with the roller 21 and facilitating the blocking and release of the garment carrying mechanism 20.

[0077] Please refer toFigure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the dispensing mechanism further includes:

[0078] Temporary lever 324 is movably connected to the end of guide rail 31 and is used to receive roller 21 released by blocking member 322;

[0079] A stop block 325 is provided near the temporary storage lever 324 to stop the roller 21 and prevent the roller 21 from falling accidentally before the hanging mechanism 42 reaches the work position.

[0080] The temporary storage lever 324 moves between the temporary storage position and the feeding position. When the temporary storage lever 324 is in the temporary storage position, the stop block 325 is used to block the roller 21. The temporary storage lever 324 can move from the temporary storage position to the feeding position under the action of external force, so that the roller 21 can be disengaged from the stop block 325 and move to the hanging mechanism 42, thereby completing the feeding operation.

[0081] In some embodiments, the feeding mechanism further includes:

[0082] The reset component 326 is connected to the temporary storage lever 324 and is used to drive the temporary storage lever 324 from the feed position to the temporary storage position when the external force on the temporary storage lever 324 is removed.

[0083] When the temporary storage lever 324 is subjected to force and moves from the temporary storage position to the feeding position, the reset member 326 is in a stretched state; when the force of the temporary storage lever 324 is removed, the reset member 326 resets, causing the temporary storage lever 324 to move from the feeding position to the temporary storage position, thereby realizing the automatic reset of the temporary storage lever 324 and facilitating the repeated feeding of the garment carrying mechanism 20.

[0084] In this embodiment, the reset element 326 may be a spring structure to connect the temporary storage lever 324 to the body 10. Of course, the reset element 326 may also be other elastic components, such as spring sheets, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 6 The hanging mechanism 42 includes a hanging component 421 and a pusher 422 connected to the hanging component 421. The hanging component 421 includes a connecting seat 423 and a hook 424 located at the bottom of the connecting seat 423. The connecting seat 423 is slidably connected to the slide rail. The hook 424 is used to hang the roller 21. The pusher 422 is used to push the temporary storage lever 324 from the temporary storage position to the feeding position when the hanging mechanism 42 moves toward the material distribution mechanism, so that the roller 21 is disengaged from the stop block 325 and moves into the hook 424.

[0086] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the roller 21 can be securely hung on the hook 424 and prevent it from falling off during movement, the hook 424 can be designed in a "U" shape or a "C" shape to ensure that the roller 21 can be securely hung on the hook 424.

[0087] In addition, components such as the connecting seat 423, hook 424, and pusher 422 are mainly used in steam sterilization and high-temperature ironing environments. To ensure their durability, they can be made of materials with corrosion resistance and wear resistance, such as stainless steel. Stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance, and can maintain stable performance in harsh environments such as humidity and high temperature. Its high strength and good processing performance make it very suitable for manufacturing mechanical parts. Of course, aluminum alloy can also be used. The hanging mechanism 42 made of aluminum alloy can effectively reduce the overall weight of the equipment, improve the mobility and ease of operation, while ensuring strength and durability. In this way, the frequency of component replacement is reduced, and the reliability and service life of the equipment are improved.

[0088] In some embodiments, the hanging mechanism 42 further includes a release member 425 movably connected to the connecting seat 423, the release member 425 being able to move relative to the hook 424 and drive the roller 21 mounted on the hook 424 to disengage from the hook 424.

[0089] When the hanging component 421 moves to the preset position, the release component 425 is triggered, allowing the release component 425 to move relative to the hook 424 and drive the roller 21 attached to the hook 424 to disengage from the hook 424. Thus, by setting the movable release component 425, the hanging mechanism 42 can automatically release the roller 21 after the processing step is completed, which is beneficial for the transfer of garments within the garment ironing equipment.

[0090] After the hanging mechanism 42 releases one roller 21, it can return to its initial position along the slide rail to prepare to handle the next roller 21. The whole process does not require manual intervention, has a high degree of automation, and greatly improves the efficiency of clothing processing.

[0091] In this embodiment, the release component 425 can be designed as a slider or lever structure, capable of smooth movement relative to the hook 424, driving the roller 21 to disengage from the hook 424. The slider can be designed as a "T" or "H" shape to increase the contact area between the hook 424 and the roller 21, improving release smoothness. The slider or lever structure is simple in design, easy to operate, and enables smooth release of the roller 21, preventing jamming. Simultaneously, the increased contact area improves operational stability and reliability.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 7In some embodiments, the hook 424 includes a vertical portion 4241 and a hook portion 4242. The vertical portion 4241 extends vertically downward from the bottom of the connecting seat 423, and the hook portion 4242 is bent at the bottom of the vertical portion 4241 for hanging the roller 21 of the garment carrying mechanism 20.

[0093] In this embodiment, the vertical part 4241 and the hook part 4242 can be constructed using either integral molding or detachable installation. Specifically, the vertical part 4241 and the hook part 4242 are integrally molded using casting or die molding processes to form a single structure. The integrally molded hook 424 has high structural strength and can withstand a large weight, ensuring that the hook 424 will not deform or break when suspending the roller 21. Furthermore, the manufacturing process is simple, reducing assembly steps and improving production efficiency.

[0094] Of course, in other embodiments, the vertical part 4241 and the hook part 4242 can be connected by bolts, snaps, or other means. Hooks 424 made in this way are easy to maintain and replace. If a part is damaged, the damaged part can be replaced individually without replacing the entire hook 424. This provides high overall flexibility, allowing the shape and size of the hook 424 to be adjusted or changed according to different usage requirements.

[0095] In this embodiment, during use, the roller 21 of the garment support mechanism 20 approaches and enters the hook portion 4242 of the hook 424 by rolling. The weight of the garment support mechanism 20 causes the roller 21 to fall naturally into the bottom of the hook portion 4242, which is supported by the vertical portion 4241 and the hook portion 4242.

[0096] When the garment carrying mechanism 20 needs to be released, the release component 425 moves relative to the hook 424 via a mechanical or electric drive device, pushing the hanging roller 21 to move outward along the curved trajectory of the hook portion 4242 until the roller 21 disengages from the hook portion 4242. In this way, the garment carrying mechanism 20 can be automatically released, improving work efficiency.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The release member 425 includes a first arm 4251 and a second arm 4252. The second arm 4252 is bent and disposed on the first arm 4251. A corner portion 4253 is formed at the connection between the first arm 4251 and the second arm 4252. The corner portion 4253 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 423. The second arm 4252 is used to swing toward the hook 424 when the first arm 4251 is subjected to a downward force, so as to drive the roller 21 hanging on the hook 424 to disengage from the hook 424.

[0098] In this embodiment, the first arm 4251 and the second arm 4252 are bent to form an L-shaped structure. The bending angle can be 90 degrees or other suitable angles to meet different operational requirements. The corner portion 4253 is the rotation center of the release member 425, and the release member 425 can rotate smoothly through bearings or other rotating mechanisms.

[0099] In the initial state, the first arm 4251 of the release member 425 is positioned above, and the second arm 4252 is close to the hook portion 4242 of the hook 424 but not in contact with the roller 21. When it is necessary to release the roller 21, a downward force is applied to the first arm 4251. Driven by the force, the first arm 4251 moves downward, causing the second arm 4252 to move towards the hook portion 4242. The end of the second arm 4252 contacts and pushes the roller 21, causing it to move outward along the curved trajectory of the hook portion 4242 until the roller 21 disengages from the hook portion 4242.

[0100] Thus, the automated release mechanism reduces the need for manual operation and improves the working efficiency of garment processing equipment, making it particularly suitable for scenarios that require high-frequency garment processing, such as the medical and hospitality industries.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the hanging mechanism 42 further includes a triggering member 43, which includes a connecting plate 431 and a triggering rod 432, the triggering rod 432 being inclinedly disposed on the connecting plate 431. During the trigger release phase, when the hanging member 421 moves to a specific position, the triggering rod 432 on the connecting plate 431 contacts the release member 425. Due to the inclined arrangement of the triggering rod 432, as the hanging member 421 continues to move, the triggering rod 432 is compressed, resulting in rotation or displacement. The rotation or displacement of the triggering rod 432 pushes the release member 425, causing the release member 425 to move relative to the hanging member 421, pushing the roller 21 on the hook 424 to disengage from the hook 424, thus completing the release of the garment carrying mechanism 20.

[0102] In this embodiment, the triggering component 43 has a simple structural design. Through the reasonable configuration of the connecting plate 431 and the triggering rod 432, the automatic release of the roller 21 is realized.

[0103] Of course, in other embodiments, the triggering member 43 may also adopt other structures, such as an electric drive device.

[0104] Furthermore, the second arm 4252 includes two spaced-apart levers 4254, which can swing from opposite sides of the vertical portion 4241 toward the hook portion 4242.

[0105] In this embodiment, a guide portion 4243 is provided on the side of the vertical portion 4241 that is away from the hook portion 4242. The guide portion 4243 is located between two spaced-apart levers 4254. The area of ​​the end of the guide portion 4243 away from the vertical portion 4241 gradually decreases. The guide portion 4243 is generally conical, which ensures that the lever 4254 remains stable during movement and prevents the lever 4254 from rubbing against and blocking the vertical portion 4241 until the roller 21 is completely disengaged from the hook 424.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The discharge device 50 includes a receiving mechanism 51, which includes:

[0107] The main body 511 is provided with a starting position and a receiving position;

[0108] The receiving component 512 is disposed on the main body 511 and can reciprocate between the starting position and the receiving position. The receiving component 512 is used to receive the roller 21 conveyed by the hanging mechanism 42.

[0109] There are multiple ways to connect the receiving component 512 to the main body 511. For example, a track can be set on the main body 511, and the receiving component 512 can be equipped with a sliding component that cooperates with the track. The receiving component 512 can be driven by a drive mechanism (such as a motor) to reciprocate between the starting position and the receiving position.

[0110] In this embodiment, the receiving part 512 is cylindrical, which facilitates the guide roller 21 to roll on the receiving part 512.

[0111] Furthermore, the receiving part 512 extends downward at an angle from the end near the hanging mechanism 42, so that the garment carrying mechanism 20 with rollers 21 moves along the receiving part 512 under its own weight. The structure is simple, the cost is low, no additional drive is required, no external energy is consumed, and it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0112] The main body 511 moves toward the receiving position to bring the receiving part 512 relatively closer to the hanging mechanism 42, and the main body 511 moves toward the starting position to move the receiving part 512 relatively away from the hanging mechanism 42.

[0113] This invention, by setting the receiving component 512 to reciprocate between the starting position and the receiving position, ensures that the receiving component 512 only approaches the hanging mechanism 42 when it is in the receiving position. This reduces the possibility of negative impact on the normal operation of the garment carrying mechanism 20 while ensuring accurate reception of the garment carrying mechanism 20, improves the accuracy of receiving, reduces the burden on the staff, and thus improves work efficiency.

[0114] like Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 51 further includes a sliding seat 513, which is slidably connected to the main body 511, and the receiving member 512 is movably disposed on the sliding seat 513. When the sliding seat 513 moves from the starting position toward the receiving position, the receiving member 512 moves on the sliding seat 513 to approach the hanging mechanism 42; when the sliding seat 513 moves from the receiving position toward the starting position, the receiving member 512 moves on the sliding seat 513 to move away from the hanging mechanism 42.

[0115] In this embodiment, by setting a sliding seat 513, the movement of the receiving mechanism 51 in the Z-axis direction is restricted, so as to avoid the receiving mechanism 51 bearing too much pressure after receiving the garment carrying mechanism 20, which would cause the other end to tilt up.

[0116] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 511 is constructed with a first slide groove 5111, and the receiving member 512 is connected with a first sliding member 514, the first sliding member 514 slidingly engaging with the first slide groove 5111.

[0117] When the sliding seat 513 moves from the starting position toward the receiving position, the first sliding member 514 slides along the first sliding groove 5111 to drive the receiving member 512 closer to the hanging mechanism 42; when the sliding seat 513 moves from the receiving position toward the starting position, the first sliding member 514 slides along the first sliding groove 5111 to drive the receiving member 512 away from the hanging mechanism 42.

[0118] In this embodiment, the material receiving member 512 is controlled to move along the guide of the first slide groove 5111 by the cooperation between the first sliding member 514 and the first slide groove 5111, thereby achieving the effect of the material receiving member 512 receiving the garment carrying mechanism 20 at the receiving position.

[0119] In some embodiments, the shape of the first groove 5111 can be set as needed, for example, it can be set as an arc, with one end of the arc away from the hanging mechanism 42 and the other end close to the hanging mechanism 42. Understandably, other shapes that can achieve the same effect can also be used, and the present invention does not limit them.

[0120] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 12 In some embodiments, the first groove 5111 includes a first groove segment 5112, a connecting segment 5113, and a second groove segment 5114 arranged sequentially. The distance between the connecting segment 5113 and the hanging mechanism 42 gradually decreases along its extension direction. The first groove segment 5112 is connected to the end of the connecting segment 5113 that is relatively far from the hanging mechanism 42, and the second groove segment 5114 is connected to the other end of the connecting segment 5113 that is relatively close to the hanging mechanism 42.

[0121] When the sliding seat 513 moves from the starting position toward the receiving position, the first sliding member 514 is guided from the first groove section 5112 through the connecting section 5113 into the second groove section 5114, so as to drive the receiving member 512 to move on the sliding seat 513 to approach the hanging mechanism 42; when the sliding seat 513 moves from the receiving position toward the starting position, the first sliding member 514 is guided from the second groove section 5114 through the connecting section 5113 into the first groove section 5112, so as to drive the receiving member 512 to move on the sliding seat 513 to move away from the hanging mechanism 42.

[0122] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the receiving mechanism 51 further includes a follower 515 connected to the sliding seat 513. When the receiving mechanism 51 is in the starting position, one end of the follower 515 can abut against the hanging mechanism 42 and move with the hanging mechanism 42 to drive the sliding seat 513 to move, thereby driving the receiving mechanism 51 to move toward the receiving position.

[0123] In this embodiment, the hanging mechanism 42 pushes the follower 515 to move, which in turn drives the sliding seat 513 to move synchronously, and further drives the receiving mechanism 51 to move, so that the receiving mechanism 51 and the hanging mechanism 42 move at similar speeds. The receiving component 512 can more easily receive the garment carrying mechanism 20, reducing the probability of the garment carrying mechanism 20 falling and causing damage to the garment.

[0124] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 11 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the main body 511 is constructed with a second slide groove 5115, and the receiving mechanism 51 further includes a second sliding member 516 slidably disposed on the sliding seat 513, the second sliding member 516 being slidably connected to the second slide groove 5115;

[0125] When the sliding seat 513 moves from the starting position toward the receiving position, the second sliding member 516 slides along the second slide groove 5115 to drive the follower 515 away from the hanging mechanism 42; when the sliding seat 513 moves from the receiving position toward the starting position, the second sliding member 516 slides along the second slide groove 5115 to drive the follower 515 closer to the hanging mechanism 42.

[0126] For example, in this embodiment, the second slide 5115 includes a parallel section 5116 and a clearance section 5117. The parallel section 5116 is arranged along the direction of movement of the hanging mechanism 42, and the clearance section 5117 is arranged in a direction away from the hanging mechanism 42. This allows the follower 515 to abut against the hanging mechanism 42 when the second sliding member 516 is located in the parallel section 5116; and the follower 515 to move away from the hanging mechanism 42 when the second sliding member 516 is located in the clearance section 5117. This avoids the follower 515 from continuously abutting against the hanging mechanism 42, and facilitates the resetting of the receiving member 512 and the receiving mechanism 51.

[0127] Specifically, initially, the second sliding member 516 is located in the parallel section 5116. Then, the hanging mechanism 42 drives the receiving member 512 to move a distance, and the receiving mechanism 51 approaches the hanging mechanism 42 and completes the reception of the garment carrying mechanism 20. Subsequently, the hanging mechanism 42 continues to drive the receiving member 512 to move. When the second sliding member 516 moves to the avoidance section 5117, the follower 515 gradually moves away from the hanging mechanism 42 until the follower 515 disengages. At this time, the receiving member 512 can be reset by setting other driving devices, thereby driving the receiving mechanism 51 back to the starting position.

[0128] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 The discharge device 50 also includes a feeding mechanism 52, which includes a guide rod 521. One end of the guide rod 521 is used to connect with the receiving component 512 and to support the roller 21 conveyed by the receiving component 512.

[0129] The guide rod 521 has a bearing surface 522 for supporting the roller 21 and allowing the roller 21 to move on it. The bearing surface 522 is curved, which further reduces the friction between the guide rod 521 and the roller 21, making the movement of the roller 21 smoother. The guide rod 521 is sufficient to guide the garment carrying mechanism 20 with the roller 21. The structure is simple, the cost is low, no additional drive is required, no external energy is consumed, and it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0130] In some embodiments, the guide rod 521 extends downward at an angle from the end closest to the receiving member 512. By tilting the guide rod 521, the roller 21 can naturally move the garment carrying mechanism 20 on the guide rod 521 under the action of gravity, reducing the need for additional driving force and improving energy efficiency; moreover, the moving speed of the roller 21 and the garment carrying mechanism 20 can be controlled by controlling the tilt angle, which facilitates the receiving of the garment carrying mechanism 20 by equipment in subsequent processes.

[0131] Furthermore, the guide rod 521 can be designed as multiple segments, each with a different tilt angle, to achieve complex movement paths, guide the roller 21 to various positions, and facilitate adjustment of the movement speed of the roller 21.

[0132] This invention uses a programmable logic controller (PLC) and photoelectric sensors to control different components to work normally according to a set sequence of actions, thereby achieving automated control of the entire process and ensuring efficient operation of each link.

[0133] The ironing process of the garment ironing equipment in this embodiment is as follows:

[0134] 1. When the blocking member 322 is in the blocking position, it is used to block the roller 21 so that at least one garment carrying mechanism 20 is buffered on the guide rail 31, thereby completing the buffering of multiple garment carrying mechanisms 20;

[0135] 2. When the blocking member 322 is in the clearance position, it is used to release a roller 21 to deliver to the temporary lever 324, and is blocked by the stop block 325;

[0136] 3. The hanging mechanism 42 moves toward the material distribution mechanism, and the pushing component 422 pushes the temporary storage lever 324 from the temporary storage position to the feeding position, so that the roller 21 disengages from the stop block 325 and moves into the hook 424;

[0137] 4. The connecting seat 423 slides in cooperation with the slide rail, and the garment carrying mechanism 20 with rollers 21 is transported along the slide rail to the ironing channel, and the ironing device irons the garment on the garment carrying mechanism 20.

[0138] 5. After ironing is completed, the connecting seat 423 slides in cooperation with the slide rail, and the garment carrying mechanism 20 with roller 21 is transported along the slide rail to the ironing outlet 13. The release component 425 can move relative to the hook 424 and drive the roller 21 hanging on the hook 424 to disengage from the hook 424 and enter the receiving mechanism 51.

[0139] 6. The receiving part 512 of the receiving mechanism 51 receives the roller 21 conveyed by the hanging mechanism 42 and moves along the receiving part 512 to the guide rod 521 of the unloading mechanism 52 to ensure that the equipment in the subsequent process receives the garment carrying mechanism 20.

Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
