Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polyester-cotton fabric production technology, specifically to an automatic alignment and folding device for a folding machine used in polyester-cotton fabric production. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional polyester-cotton fabric folding operations rely heavily on manual labor or simple mechanical devices. Manual folding is not only inefficient and unable to meet the needs of large-scale production, but also susceptible to variations in worker skill and fatigue, making it difficult to guarantee dimensional accuracy and alignment, resulting in inconsistent product quality.
[0003] An existing automatic alignment and folding device for polyester-cotton fabric production suffers from low alignment and folding efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. It requires significant manual intervention, increasing labor costs and causing inconsistencies in folding accuracy due to human error. Furthermore, the lack of a reliable fixing mechanism during folding allows the polyester-cotton fabric to easily shift, affecting the folding effect. The folded material must be manually handled, disrupting the production process and potentially causing material damage or production interruption due to improper operation. This paper proposes an automatic alignment and folding device for polyester-cotton fabric production to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] Specifically, the guide rod 20 limits the third protective box 13, allowing the third protective box 13 to move left and right along the direction of the guide rod 20.
[0031] Please see Figures 2 to 3The workbench 1 has a square slot inside, and a second motor 21 is installed inside the workbench 1. The output end of the second motor 21 is provided with a first rotating shaft 22. A conveyor belt 23 is sleeved on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 22. The workbench 1 is rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft 24 through a bearing, and the conveyor belt 23 is sleeved on the outer surface of the second rotating shaft 24.
[0032] Specifically, the second motor 21 drives the first rotating shaft 22 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 22 drives the conveyor belt 23 sleeved on the surface of the first rotating shaft 22 to convey the polyester-cotton fabric to the left side of the workbench 1.

[0038] Specifically, the auxiliary roller 29 provides some support to the polyester-cotton fabric, preventing it from collapsing.
[0039] In use, the fabric tube of the polyester-cotton fabric is fitted onto the support rod 27, and the other end of the fabric tube is placed on the support shaft 28. Then, one end of the polyester-cotton fabric is pulled onto the first support plate 19. The first motor 11 is started by the controller 2. The output end of the first motor 11 drives the lead screw 12 to rotate. The lead screw 12 drives the third protective box 13, which is connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 12. The third protective box 13 moves to the right side of the workbench 1. During the movement of the third protective box 13, the movable end of the fourth electric telescopic rod 15 extends and drives the second clamping plate 16. After the third protective box 13 moves to the designated position, the movable end of the fourth electric telescopic rod 15... The first clamping plate 14 and the second clamping plate 16 extend and push the second clamping plate 16 to clamp one end of the polyester-cotton fabric. Then, the output end of the first motor 11 rotates in the opposite direction and drives the lead screw 12. The lead screw 12 drives the third protective box 13, which is connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 12, so that the first clamping plate 14 and the second clamping plate 16 move one end of the polyester-cotton fabric to the left side of the workbench 1. When the third protective box 13 moves to the designated position, the movable end of the third electric telescopic rod 9 extends and pushes the cutter 10 to cut the polyester-cotton fabric. At this time, the movable end of the first electric telescopic rod 4 extends and pushes the bracket 5 to rise, and the movable end of the second electric telescopic rod 6 retracts and drives the first L The first L-shaped plate 7 moves inward, and after it moves a certain distance, the movable end of the first electric telescopic rod 4 retracts and drives the bracket 5 downward, so that the first L-shaped plate 7 presses the middle of the polyester-cotton fabric. Then, the first motor 11 rotates and drives the lead screw 12. The lead screw 12 drives the third protective box 13, which is connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 12, so that the first clamping plate 14 and the second clamping plate 16 move the end of the polyester-cotton fabric clamped to the right side of the workbench 1 until they move to the other end of the polyester-cotton fabric. After the polyester-cotton fabric is aligned and folded, the movable end of the fourth electric telescopic rod 15 retracts and drives the second clamping plate 16 to no longer clamp the end of the polyester-cotton fabric. Furthermore, the lead screw 12 drives the third protective box 13 to continue moving to the right for a distance. Subsequently, the movable end of the fifth electric telescopic rod 17 extends and pushes the second L-shaped plate 18. The second L-shaped plate 18 rotates around the pin in the middle of the second L-shaped plate 18 and drives the connecting rod 25. The connecting rod 25 drives the flipping plate 26, causing the flipping plate 26 to flip 180°, and folding the folded polyester-cotton fabric a second time. After the two folds are aligned, the controller 2 starts the second motor 21, which drives the first rotating shaft 22 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 22 drives the conveyor belt 23 sleeved on the outer surface of the first rotating shaft 22, which conveys the folded and aligned polyester-cotton fabric to the left side of the workbench 1.
