[0025] In the above structure, the movable wheel 2 enables the device to move when the handle 5 is pulled. Furthermore, since the movable wheel 2 has the function of a brake, it can remain stable when folding clothing, thereby effectively improving the folding efficiency of clothing.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment: the support assembly 1 includes a support frame 101, a top plate 102 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support frame 101, and folding plates 104 are rotatably connected to both ends of the top plate 102 via hinges 103. A limiting block 105 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the folding plate 104, and a support leg 106 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting block 105. One end of a top connecting handle 107 is mounted on the bottom of the support frame 101, and a rotating rod 108 is provided on the other end of the top connecting handle 107. A bottom connecting handle 109 is mounted on the bottom of the rotating rod 108, and a crossbeam 110 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the support leg 106.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment: there are two folding plates 104 and two limiting blocks 105, and the two folding plates 104 and the limiting blocks 105 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the top plate 102. The cross-section of the limiting block 105 is "L" shaped. One end of the limiting block 105 is fixedly installed to the bottom of the folding plate 104, and the other end of the limiting block 105 is attached to and overlaps with the outer wall of the support leg 106. After the support leg 106 rotates ninety degrees, it contacts the outer wall of the support frame 101.
[0028] In the above structure, by rotating the support legs 106 at both ends ninety degrees around the virtual center line of the rotating rod 108 and then contacting the outer walls of both ends of the support frame 101, and by using the hinge 103 to fold the folding plate 104 to the outer wall of the support legs 106, the device can be folded and stored when not in use, so that the width of the device is the width of the top plate 102, without taking up extra space and making it easy to store.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment: the automatic folding assembly 6 includes a micro motor 601, the power output shaft of the micro motor 601 is fixedly fitted with a drive gear 602, the outer wall of the drive gear 602 is meshed with a plurality of gear sets 603, the outer wall of the plurality of gear sets 603 is fixedly mounted with a bevel gear 604, the outer wall of the bevel gear 604 is meshed with a bevel gear 605, the bottom of the bevel gear 605 is fixedly fitted with a turntable 606, the outer wall of the turntable 606 is rotatably connected with a driven gear 607 and a driven gear 608 respectively, the bottom of the driven gear 607 is mounted with a rotating gear 609, the outer wall of the rotating gear 609 is meshed with a pinion 610;
[0030] In a preferred embodiment: a limiting post 611 is fixedly installed on the top of the pinion 610, one end of a bevel gear 612 is meshed with the top outer edge of the limiting post 611, and a rotating handle 613 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the bevel gear 612. A rotating gear 614 is installed at the bottom of the driven gear 608, a limiting post 615 is meshed with the outer wall of the rotating gear 614, one end of a bevel gear 616 is meshed with the top outer edge of the limiting post 615, and a rotating handle 617 is fixedly installed on the other end of the bevel gear 616.
[0031] In the above structure, the number of driven gear 607, rotating gear 609, pinion 610, limiting post 611, bevel gear 612, and rotating handle 613 are all two. The two driven gears 607, rotating gear 609, pinion 610, limiting post 611, bevel gear 612, and rotating handle 613 are symmetrically distributed on the inner wall of the placement box 3. This allows the device to automatically fold both ends of the garment. The bevel gear 605 ensures the linkage of the device.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment: there are two driven gear 607, two rotating gear 609, two pinion 610, two limiting post 611, two bevel gear 612, and two rotating handles 613. The two driven gears 607, two rotating gears 609, two pinion 610, two limiting post 611, two bevel gear 612, and two rotating handles 613 are symmetrically distributed on the inner wall of the placement box 3. The micro motor 601 is electrically connected to the control switch 4. The end of the rotating handle 613 away from the bevel gear 605 is connected to the side flap 7. The end of the rotating handle 617 away from the bevel gear 605 is connected to the upper flap 9.
[0033] In the above structure, pressing the control switch 4 starts the micro motor 601, which drives multiple gear sets 603 to rotate via the drive gear 602. This causes the first bevel gear 604 to drive the second bevel gear 605 to rotate synchronously. Under the drive of the turntable 606, the two driven gears 607 and 608 rotate. The small gear 610 and the limiting post 615, which mesh with the first rotating gear 609 and the second rotating gear 614, rotate, thereby causing the first rotating handle 613 and the fourth bevel gear 616 to drive the side flip plate 7 and the upper flip plate 9 to flip towards the second bevel gear 605, thus achieving the purpose of automatic folding of clothing.
[0034] Working principle: When using this device, the top of the folding plate 104 is flipped 90 degrees so that it is on the same plane as the top of the top plate 102. The support legs 106 at both ends are rotated 90 degrees around the virtual center line of the rotating rod 108, moving away from the outer walls of the support frame 101. The support legs 106 are then able to rotate until they contact the outer wall of the limiting block 105, thus supporting the folding plate 104. Pulling the handle 5 allows the device to be moved to a suitable position via the moving wheels 2. The garment to be folded is placed on top of the placement plate 10. At this point, pressing the control switch 4 allows the miniature... When motor 601 starts, the micro motor 601 drives multiple gear sets 603 to rotate via drive gear 602, causing bevel gear 604 to drive bevel gear 605 to rotate synchronously. Under the drive of turntable 606, both driven gears 607 and 608 rotate, and through the small gear 610 and limit post 615 meshing with rotating gear 609 and rotating gear 614, the rotating handle 613 and bevel gear 616 can respectively drive the side flip plate 7 and the upper flip plate 9 to flip towards bevel gear 605, thereby completing the purpose of automatic folding of clothing.
