[0002] In the production of nonwoven garments (such as medical gowns), folding is a crucial step. Traditional production methods mainly rely on manual folding, but manual folding is slow and cannot meet the needs of mass production.

[0003] Manual workstations are difficult to integrate effectively with automated production lines, becoming a bottleneck in the production process.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the nonwoven fabric garment triangular symmetrical folding device of this utility model mainly includes a support frame 1, a fabric correction mechanism 2, a fabric roller 3, a triangular folding frame 4, and an angle adjustment mechanism 5.

[0020] The support frame 1, serving as the basic skeleton of the entire device, is constructed from welded or bolted profiles, providing the mounting base for all other components. A top beam 11 is located at its top, with two second bearing seats 12 fixed beneath it. A horizontally extending fixing rod 13 is also fixed to the side of the support frame 1, with a first bearing seat 14 mounted on the fixing rod 13. An electrical box 6 is also mounted on the side of the support frame 1.

[0021] Fabric correction mechanism 2 and fabric guide roller 3 are sequentially installed at the entrance end of support frame 1. Fabric correction mechanism 2 can be a combination of existing photoelectric sensors and pneumatic or electric correction devices. Its function is to detect the edge position of the fabric (i.e., the isolation gown to be folded) during conveying in real time. When a positional deviation is detected, it automatically adjusts the position of the fabric or guide roller to ensure that the fabric enters the subsequent folding station in the correct position and posture. Fabric guide roller 3 serves to support and guide the conveying process.

[0022] The triangular folding frame 4 is the core component for performing the folding action. It is hinged to two second bearing seats 12 at the top of the support frame via the two ends of the top rotating rod 41. This allows the entire triangular folding frame 4 to swing around the axis of the rotating rod 41. The triangular folding frame 4 also includes two guide rods 42, symmetrically positioned below the rotating rod 41. The first ends of the two guide rods 42 are connected to the two ends of the rotating rod 41, and their ends are connected to each other, forming a stable isosceles triangular frame. To enhance structural rigidity, a connecting rod 43 is horizontally connected to the middle of the two guide rods 42, parallel to the rotating rod 41. As the fabric continues to be conveyed forward, guided by the inclined surfaces of the guide rods 42, the two sides are gradually folded inward and downward, ultimately achieving a symmetrical fold at the center line. The triangular structure ensures the synchronicity and symmetry of the folding on both sides.

[0023] Angle adjustment mechanism 5 is used to precisely control the tilt angle of the triangular folding frame 4 to accommodate garments of different sizes. This mechanism is connected between the fixed rod 13 of the support frame 1 and the connecting rod 43 of the triangular folding frame 4.

[0024] Specifically, the angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a hinge seat 51, a hinge joint 52, a lead screw 53, a rotating rod 55, and a movable nut 54. The hinge seat 51 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting rod 43 of the triangular folding frame 4. The hinge joint 52 is connected to the hinge seat 51, preferably using a fisheye joint. One end of the lead screw 53 is connected to the hinge joint 52. A through hole is opened in the middle of the rotating rod 55, and the other end of the lead screw 53 passes through the through hole and engages with the movable nut 54 through a thread. Cylindrical joints 56 are provided at both ends of the rotating rod 55. These two cylindrical joints 56 are installed in the first bearing seat 14 of the side fixing rod 13 of the support frame, allowing the rotating rod 55 to rotate freely.

[0025] When the angle of the triangular folding frame 4 needs to be adjusted, the operator rotates the movable nut 54. Since the rotating rod 55 is restricted to rotation only by the first bearing seat 14 and cannot move axially, the rotating movable nut 54 drives the lead screw 53 to move axially. The axial movement of the lead screw 53 is converted into a pushing or pulling force on the connecting rod 43 through the hinge joint 52 and hinge seat 51, thereby forcing the entire triangular folding frame 4 to swing around the axis of the rotating rod 41 at its top, changing its tilt angle. The purpose of adjusting the angle is to change the width of the garment after folding as it passes the conveyor roller 7 at the next station by changing the tilt of the triangular folding frame 4 for different sizes of clothing.

[0026] In order to prevent the fabric 100 from being uneven on the triangular folding frame 4, an elastic pressure plate 8 can be added to smooth the fabric 100 on the triangular folding frame 4.

[0027] Work process:

[0028] like Figure 3 The fabric 100 to be folded is laid flat on the conveyor belt. First, it passes through the fabric alignment mechanism 2 for position correction, and then through the fabric roller 3. Next, the fabric 100 passes over the triangular folding frame 4. As the fabric 100 continues to move forward, guided by the inclined surface of the guide rod 42, both sides of the fabric 100 are symmetrically folded inwards and overlapped, completing a precise symmetrical fold. The folded fabric 100 continues to be conveyed and processed through the conveyor roller 7 of the next station. Throughout the process, the angle adjustment mechanism 5 can be fine-tuned according to the actual folding effect to achieve the optimal working state.

[0029] 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 inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
