Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding machine technology, specifically a folding machine for garment processing. Background Technology

[0002] A folding machine is a type of mechanical equipment specifically used to process the edges of garment fabrics. It folds the edges of the fabric to the required width and angle, and then heat-presses and shapes them using pressure and temperature.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN220694476U discloses a garment folding machine, including a placement plate. A folding assembly is provided on the upper side of the placement plate, and a conveyor belt is provided on the top surface of the placement plate below the folding assembly. Three pressing components are provided on the front side wall of the folding assembly, and a guide plate is provided on the left side wall of the placement plate. The guide plate has a U-shaped cross-section, a conveying assembly is provided on the top surface of the guide plate, and a cooling assembly is provided on the side wall of the guide plate. Through the cooperation between the placement plate, the guide plate, and the cooling assembly, after the garment is folded, the conveyor belt can continue to transport the garment. At the same time, the airflow blown out by the air outlet will quickly cool the folded area, avoiding wrinkles and deformation caused by residual heat of hot melt adhesive.

[0004] The existing folding machine for garment processing is inconvenient to adjust the folding width while in operation, requiring machine stoppage or frequent manual fine-tuning, resulting in long debugging time, reduced production efficiency, and difficulty in quickly switching processing parameters for different product specifications. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding machine for garment processing, so as to solve the problem in the background art that the folding width of the garment processing folding machine is inconvenient to adjust during operation, and requires stopping the machine or frequent manual fine adjustment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a folding machine for garment processing, comprising a base plate and a pad, wherein the base plate and the pad constitute a base;

[0007] The top of the pad is equipped with a folding structure, which includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the top of the pad. A mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mounting plate. A slider is slidably connected inside the mounting sleeve. An adjusting rod is fixedly connected at equal intervals at one end of the slider located outside the mounting sleeve. A folding plate is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting rod away from the mounting sleeve. A pressure plate is hinged to the top of the folding plate.

[0008] Preferably, the adjusting rod has an U-shaped structure, the folding plate and the mounting plate are distributed in parallel, and the folding plate is distributed in parallel with the direction of fabric movement.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the pressure plate and the top of the folding plate are respectively fixedly connected with equally spaced magnetic strips, and the pressure plate and the folding plate are arranged in parallel.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the pressure plate is fixedly connected with guide sleeves that are evenly distributed, the inside of the pressure plate is provided with an opening aligned with the middle of the guide sleeves, and a motion frame is vertically slidably connected inside the guide sleeves.

[0011] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected between the top of the motion frame and the top of the inner side of the guide sleeve, the sliding direction of the guide sleeve is perpendicular to the direction of fabric movement, and a pressure roller is rotatably connected inside the motion frame, extending through an opening inside the pressure plate to the space between the pressure plate and the folding plate.

[0012] Preferably, both ends of the top of the mounting sleeve are fixedly connected to a connecting rod with a U-shaped structure. The end of the connecting rod away from the mounting sleeve is fixedly connected to a guide rod. A guide groove is formed between the guide rod and the mounting plate. The inner side of the guide groove is set as an arc surface. A lead screw is rotatably connected in the middle of the inside of the mounting sleeve. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the middle of the inside of the slider.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the base plate is provided with a mounting groove, and the bottom of the mounting groove is fixedly connected to an elastic ironing board that is symmetrically distributed vertically. Both ends of the mounting groove are rotatably connected to elastic drive rollers that are symmetrically distributed vertically. The elastic drive rollers are driven by a motor, and the contact surfaces of the two elastic drive rollers and the contact surfaces of the two elastic ironing boards are aligned with the folding plate and the pressure plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This garment processing folding machine allows the slider to slide within the mounting sleeve by rotating the lead screw. The folding plate is pulled parallel by the C-shaped adjusting rod, thus flexibly adjusting the folding width to meet the specifications of different garment designs while maintaining the folding plate in the same direction as the fabric.

[0016] The design of guide rods and curved guide grooves enables automatic fabric turning and crease formation. The guide rods are arranged vertically along the fabric's movement path, and the curved guide grooves guide the fabric end to bend upwards and move towards the folding plate to form the initial crease, reducing manual intervention. The hinged structure of the pressure plate and the folding plate, combined with magnetic strip adsorption and the elastic linkage between the pressure roller and the guide sleeve and spring, forms a clamping mechanism. When the pressure roller presses down from inside the pressure plate, the spring pushes the motion frame to apply continuous downward pressure, and the magnetic strip maintains the parallel distribution of the pressure plate and the folding plate, ensuring that the fabric is firmly clamped between them.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a garment folding machine includes a base plate 1 and a pad 2, which together form a base.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a folding structure is installed on the top of the pad 2. The folding structure includes a mounting plate 3 fixedly connected to the top of the pad 2. A mounting sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mounting plate 3. A slider 5 is slidably connected inside the mounting sleeve 4. An adjusting rod 6 is fixedly connected to one end of the slider 5 located outside the mounting sleeve 4. A folding plate 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjusting rod 6 away from the mounting sleeve 4. A pressure plate 8 is hinged to the top of the folding plate 7. The adjusting rod 6 has a U-shaped structure. The folding plate 7 is parallel to the mounting plate 3 and is parallel to the direction of fabric movement.

[0028] Preferably, magnetic strips are fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 8 and the top of the folding plate 7 at equal intervals, and the pressure plate 8 and the folding plate 7 are parallel to each other; guide sleeves 9 are fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 8 at equal intervals, and the pressure plate 8 has an opening aligned with the middle of the guide sleeve 9. A moving frame 10 is vertically slidably connected inside the guide sleeve 9.

[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a spring 11 is fixedly connected between the top of the motion frame 10 and the top of the inner side of the guide sleeve 9. The sliding direction of the guide sleeve 9 is perpendicular to the direction of fabric movement. A lower pressure wheel 12 is rotatably connected inside the motion frame 10. The lower pressure wheel 12 extends through the opening inside the pressure plate 8 to the space between the pressure plate 8 and the folding plate 7.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the top of the mounting sleeve 4 are fixedly connected to a connecting rod 13 with a U-shaped structure. The end of the connecting rod 13 away from the mounting sleeve 4 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 14. A guide groove 15 is formed between the guide rod 14 and the mounting plate 3. The inner side of the guide groove 15 is set as an arc surface. A lead screw 16 is rotatably connected in the middle of the inside of the mounting sleeve 4. The lead screw 16 is threadedly connected to the middle of the inside of the slider 5.

[0031] First, place the garment fabric on top of the mounting plate 3, ensuring that the edge of the fabric is aligned with the end of the mounting plate 3 closest to the base plate 1. At this point, the fabric is laid flat on the surface of the mounting plate 3. The worker pushes the fabric, allowing it to slide smoothly along the top of the mounting plate 3 towards the mounting sleeve 4. During the sliding process, the fabric passes through the gap between the top of the mounting plate 3 and the pressure plate 8, continuing to move until the leading edge of the fabric reaches the bottom area of ​​the guide rod 14. The guide rod 14 is designed to be perpendicular to the direction of fabric movement. The inner side of the guide groove 15 has an arc-shaped structure to facilitate fabric turning. When the fabric contacts the guide rod 14, the leading edge of the fabric is received by the guide groove 15, and with the sliding action, the end of the fabric moves upward within the guide groove 15. The arc-shaped surface of the guide groove 15 guides the fabric to bend upward, causing the end of the fabric to move towards the side of the folding plate 7 and the pressure plate 8 closest to the mounting sleeve 4. This guiding process ensures that the fabric forms an initial crease.

[0032] Once the end of the fabric is positioned on one side of the folding plate 7 and the pressure plate 8, rotate the pressure plate 8 to move it away from the closed state of the folding plate 7. At this time, the top area of ​​the folding plate 7 is exposed. The end of the fabric is picked up and placed on the top of the folding plate 7, covering the entire top surface of the folding plate 7 and the hinge of the pressure plate 8, ensuring that the edge of the fabric is evenly spread. Then, release the pressure plate 8. The pressure plate 8 falls back under the action of gravity and attracts each other with the folding plate 7 through the equidistant magnetic strips fixedly connected to its surface. The attraction generated by the magnetic strips maintains the parallel distribution of the pressure plate 8 and the folding plate 7. At the same time, the opening inside the pressure plate 8 allows the lower pressure roller 12 to extend downward through the guide sleeve 9. The moving frame 10 slides vertically under the elastic action of the spring 11, pushing the lower pressure roller 12 down from inside the pressure plate 8 to between the pressure plate 8 and the folding plate 7, directly contacting the fabric. The lower pressure roller 12 applies continuous downward pressure, forming a clamping mechanism with the rigid structure of the top surface of the mounting plate 3. The crease formed by the fabric at the guide rod 14 is fixed and compacted, preventing the folded edge from spreading or shifting in subsequent operations.

[0033] After fixing, the screw 16 inside the mounting sleeve 4 is rotated to adjust the hem degree. The screw 16 is connected to the middle thread inside the slider 5. When the screw 16 is rotated, the slider 5 slides smoothly inside the mounting sleeve 4. The movement of the slider 5 drives the adjustment rod 6 to move. The adjustment rod 6 has a U-shaped structure to transmit the movement, thereby pulling or pushing the folding plate 7 to move horizontally on the top of the mounting plate 3. Since the folding plate 7 is parallel to the mounting plate 3 and parallel to the direction of fabric movement, the movement of the folding plate 7 directly affects the position of the end of the fabric it holds. When the folding plate 7 moves, the clamping structure formed by the pressure roller 12 and the folding plate 7 simultaneously drives the fabric to slide on the surface of the mounting plate 3. The distance between the end of the fabric and the guide rod 14 changes accordingly, so that the hem width can be flexibly adapted to different garment needs.

[0034] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 The following structure was also disclosed:

[0035] The top of the base plate 1 is provided with a mounting groove 17. The bottom of the mounting groove 17 is fixedly connected to elastic ironing plates 18 that are symmetrically distributed vertically. Both ends of the mounting groove 17 are rotatably connected to elastic drive rollers 19 that are symmetrically distributed vertically. The elastic drive rollers 19 are driven by a motor. The contact surfaces of the two elastic drive rollers 19 and the contact surfaces of the two elastic ironing plates 18 are aligned with the folding plate 7 and the pressure plate 8.

[0036] The fabric is fixed between the folding plate 7 and the pressure plate 8, and the degree of folding is adjusted to the required position by the lead screw 16. At this time, the end of the folded fabric is still clamped and fixed by the lower pressure roller 12 and the pressure plate 8, which pulls the end of the fabric to guide the fabric through the two sets of elastic drive rollers 19 and two elastic ironing plates 18 inside the mounting groove 17. The elastic drive rollers 19 are driven to rotate by a motor. The two sets of rollers rotate synchronously and contact the fabric surface, providing continuous traction to push the fabric smoothly through the ironing area. The symmetrical design of the elastic drive rollers 19 ensures that the upper and lower roller surfaces clamp the fabric, producing a forward linear motion without slipping or stretching damage. The fabric remains aligned during the movement, and the folded part is directly aligned with the contact surface of the elastic ironing plate 18.

[0037] When the fabric enters the space between the elastic ironing plates 18 through the elastic drive roller 19, contact pressure is applied to the upper and lower surfaces of the elastic ironing plates 18. Its elastic material allows it to adapt to changes in fabric thickness. At the same time, the built-in heating element applies heat ironing to the folded edges of the fabric to shape the fibers. The fabric moves at a uniform speed under the traction of the elastic drive roller 19, and the elastic ironing plates 18 continuously press the creases. The combination of heating and pressure causes the folded edges of the fabric to be heat-cured to form a permanent bend.
