[0014] Reference Figures 1-6 The present invention proposes a glove folding machine, including a base 1, with a feeding module 2 symmetrically installed on the top of the base 1. The feeding module 2 is responsible for accurately conveying the gloves to be folded to the upper surface of the workbench 3. The workbench 3 is fixed in the middle of the base 1, and a forming table 4 is installed inside the workbench 3. To enable multiple folds of the gloves, the device is equipped with five independently configured folding plates: a first fold plate 6, a second fold plate 7, a third fold plate 8, a fourth fold plate 9, and a fifth fold plate 10. These five folding plates correspond to the five key steps of glove folding, completing the full folding of the glove through sequential actions. Correspondingly, the surface and interior of the forming table 4 are provided with several interconnected bending holes and bending channels. Each bending hole and bending channel corresponds one-to-one with the first fold plate 6 to the fifth fold plate 10, forming a dedicated folding plate movement path. This ensures that the folding plates can be accurately inserted into the corresponding channels during operation, avoiding interference with other structures of the forming table 4. The first fold plate 6, the second fold plate 7, the third fold plate 8, and the fourth fold plate 9 are all powered by a linear drive module 5, while the fifth fold plate 10 is driven by an independent five-fold drive cylinder 11. Through precise control of the power components, the orderly movement of the folding plates is achieved, thereby enabling multiple folds of the gloves. The feeding module 2 consists of a base plate 21, a lifting seat 22, a tension spring 23, suction nozzles 24, and a pressing cylinder 25. The base plate 21 is connected to the base 1 via a linear drive module 5, which drives the base plate 21 to move horizontally, achieving translation between the feeding position and the folding station. The front of the base plate 21 is slidably connected to the lifting seat 22 via a slide rail, allowing the lifting seat 22 to move vertically up and down along the base plate 21. A tension spring 23 connects the top of the base plate 21 and the bottom of the lifting seat 22, providing an upward restoring force for the lifting seat 22. Several suction nozzles 24 are evenly installed on the outer end of the lifting seat 22, and these nozzles are connected to an external negative pressure device via air pipes. The negative pressure adsorption of gloves to be folded prevents the gloves from shifting or falling during the conveying process. A pressing cylinder 25 is also fixedly installed above the lifting seat 22. The pressing cylinder 25 is mounted on the back of the linear drive module 5 through a bracket. The extension end of the pressing cylinder 25 is vertically downward and facing the lifting seat 22. When it is necessary to adsorb the gloves, the pressing cylinder 25 extends and pushes the lifting seat 22 and the suction nozzle 24 down to the surface of the gloves. The suction nozzle 24 generates negative pressure to adsorb the gloves. After the adsorption is completed, the pressing cylinder 25 retracts and the lifting seat 22 moves upward and resets under the tension of the tension spring 23. Then the linear drive module 5 drives the seat plate 21 to move and convey the adsorbed gloves to the top of the forming table 4 to complete the loading action. The linear drive module 5 includes a bracket 51, a motor 52, a driven synchronous pulley 53, a driving synchronous pulley 54, a synchronous belt 55, a movable frame 56, and a linear guide rail 57. The motor 52 is fixedly mounted on the top of the bracket 51 via a motor mount, and the driven synchronous pulley 53 is rotatably connected to the bottom via bearings. The driving end of the motor 52 passes through the bracket 51 and is fixedly mounted on the driving synchronous pulley 54. The driving synchronous pulley 54 and the driven synchronous pulley 53 are both fitted with a synchronous belt 55, forming a synchronous transmission structure. One side of the synchronous belt 55 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 56. When the motor 52 starts, it drives the driving synchronous pulley 54. The rotation of wheel 54 drives the driven synchronous wheel 53 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 55, thereby driving the movable frame 56 to move along the length of the synchronous belt 55. To ensure the stability and straightness of the movement of the movable frame 56, the support 51 and the movable frame 56 are also slidably connected by a linear guide rail 57. The extension direction of the linear guide rail 57 is consistent with the transmission direction of the synchronous belt 55, which restricts the movement trajectory of the movable frame 56 and prevents it from deviating or shaking during movement. In addition, the motor 52 is a servo motor, which can be programmed according to requirements, thereby driving the movable frame 56 to move back and forth by switching between forward and reverse rotation. The specific distribution of the forming table 4 is as follows: A folding hole 31 is opened inside the workbench 3. A folding channel 41 is reserved inside the forming table 4. The entrance of the folding channel 41 is connected to the folding hole 31, forming a movement channel for the folding plate 6. The folding plate 6 can be inserted through the folding hole 31 and move along the folding channel 41 to complete the first fold of the glove. A second folding hole 42 is opened on the front of the forming table 4, penetrating the front of the forming table 4. A second folding channel 43 is reserved inside the hole. The entrance of the second folding channel 43 is connected to the folding hole 42. The second folding plate 7 is inserted through the second folding hole 42 into the second folding channel 43, pushing the glove to complete the second fold. A third folding hole 44 is opened on the side of the forming table 4, with a corresponding third folding channel 45 reserved inside. The entrance of the three-fold channel 45 is connected to the three-fold hole 44. The three-fold plate 8 is inserted into the three-fold channel 45 through the three-fold hole 44 to complete the third fold. The front of the forming table 4 is also provided with a four-fold hole 46, with a four-fold channel 47 reserved inside. The entrance of the four-fold channel 47 is connected to the four-fold hole 46. The four-fold plate 9 is inserted into the four-fold channel 47 through the four-fold hole 46 to complete the fourth fold. The back of the forming table 4 is provided with a five-fold hole 48. The five-fold hole 48 penetrates the back of the forming table 4 and is connected to the four-fold channel 47 and extends to the bottom of the four-fold channel 47. The five-fold plate 10 is inserted into the four-fold channel 47 through the five-fold hole 48 to complete the fifth fold. After the glove is folded for the fifth time, it is pushed off the forming table 4 by the five-fold plate 10 to complete the fold.

[0015] In actual operation, the equipment first uses the suction nozzle 24 of the feeding module 2 to pick up the gloves to be folded. After the downward pressure cylinder 25 pushes the suction nozzle 24 to move down and pick up the gloves, the tension spring 23 resets and moves the gloves up. The linear drive module 5 drives the base plate 21 to transport the gloves to the surface of the forming table 4. Then, the linear drive module 5 drives the first folding plate 6 to insert into the first folding channel 41 through the first folding hole 31, pushing the gloves to complete the first fold, and then resets. Next, the second folding plate 7 is driven by the linear drive module 5 to insert into the second folding channel 43 through the second folding hole 42, and then resets to complete the second fold. Similarly, the third folding plate 8 and the fourth folding plate 9 are driven by the linear drive module 5 to complete the third and fourth folds, and also need to be reset. Finally, the fifth folding drive cylinder 11 extends and pushes the fifth folding plate 10 to insert into the fourth folding channel 47 through the fifth folding hole 48 to complete the fifth fold, and then resets. At this point, the glove folding process is complete. The folded gloves can then be transferred to the next process through an external conveying mechanism.

[0016] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
