A clothes folding machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the drawings.

For convenience of description and understanding, the structure of the clothes folding machine 1 will be specifically described in the full text in the up-down, left-right, front-rear directions, i.e., the lateral direction of the clothes folding machine 1, and the front-rear direction, i.e., the longitudinal direction of the clothes folding machine 1.

As shown in fig. 1 to 15, the clothes folding machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 100, a folding platform mechanism 200, a clothes conveying mechanism 300, a clothes dragging mechanism 400, a clothes positioning mechanism 500, a hanger separating mechanism 600, a trousers lifting mechanism 700, a clothes folding mechanism 800, and a control unit.

The folding platform mechanism 200, the clothes conveying mechanism 300, the clothes dragging mechanism 400, the clothes positioning mechanism 500, the clothes hanger separating mechanism 600, the trousers lifting mechanism 700 and the clothes folding mechanism 800 are respectively installed on the frame 100. The control unit is in communication with the folding platform mechanism 200, the garment transport mechanism 300, the garment drag mechanism 400, the garment positioning mechanism 500, the hanger separation mechanism 600, the pant lifting mechanism 700, and the garment folding mechanism 800, respectively.

Specifically, after the clothes (which may be a jacket or trousers) to be folded are hung on a clothes hanger (not shown), the clothes hanger with the clothes hung thereon is hung on the clothes conveying mechanism 300, the clothes conveying mechanism 300 conveys the clothes hanger with the clothes to a predetermined position, the clothes dragging mechanism 400 receives the clothes hanger from the clothes conveying mechanism 300, and the clothes on the clothes hanger are flatly laid on the folding platform mechanism 200 by dragging the clothes hanger, wherein the length direction of the clothes is oriented along the longitudinal direction (front-back direction) of the clothes folding machine 1, and the width direction of the clothes is oriented along the transverse direction (left-right direction) of the clothes folding machine 1.

When the clothes are the upper outer garment, after the upper outer garment is flatly laid on the folding platform mechanism 200, the clothes positioning mechanism 500 presses the upper outer garment on the folding platform mechanism 200 to prevent the clothes from moving and deforming, the clothes hanger separating mechanism 600 is connected with the clothes hanger from the clothes dragging mechanism 400 and drags the clothes hanger to move, and the upper outer garment cannot move because the upper outer garment is positioned on the folding platform mechanism 200 by the clothes positioning mechanism 500 at the moment, so that the clothes hanger is separated from the upper outer garment. Thereafter, the garment folding mechanism 800 folds the jacket in cooperation with the garment positioning mechanism 500.

A trousers lifting mechanism 700 is further added on the frame, and the clothes folding machine 1 can fold the trousers; since the trousers are longer than other clothes, the portion of the trousers that needs to be folded is lifted by the trousers lifting mechanism 700 to complete the folding process. Likewise, the control unit communicates with the pant lifting mechanism 700.

When the clothes are trousers, it should be noted that the trousers need to be in a trouser leg state when being hung on the clothes hanger, can be folded along the trouser line of the trousers, and can also be folded in half by folding two trouser legs, and only the trouser legs are folded into a trouser leg state and then are hung on the clothes hanger. After the trousers are laid on the folding platform mechanism 200, the hanger separating mechanism 600 receives the trousers from the clothes dragging mechanism 400 and drags the clothes hangers to move, the trousers are positioned by the trousers lifting mechanism 700, and the trousers cannot move, so that the clothes hangers are separated from the trousers. Thereafter, the trousers are lifted by the trousers lifting mechanism 700 in cooperation with the clothes positioning mechanism 500, and then the clothes folding mechanism 800 folds the trousers in cooperation with the clothes positioning mechanism 500, after which the trousers lifting mechanism 700 drops and folds the lifted portion of the trousers again. It will be appreciated that the trousers lifting mechanism 700 may also be used to fold a longer length of the skirt, which may also optionally be folded in half. For the clothes folding machine 1 according to the invention, the half-length skirt during folding can be considered as a special "trousers", a "trousers" with only one leg.

After the clothes folding mechanism 800 completes the folding action, the folding platform mechanism 200 folds the clothes again by turning over and slides down from the folding platform mechanism 200.

The actions and the coordination of the mechanisms are controlled and executed by the control unit.

According to the clothes folding machine 1 provided by the embodiment of the invention, clothes can be tiled, positioned and folded, so that automatic folding of clothes (including coats and trousers) is realized, manual clothes folding is replaced, the efficiency is high, the labor intensity is low, and the tidiness and consistency of the folded clothes can be ensured.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the clothes folding machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may not include the trousers lifting mechanism 700, i.e., the clothes folding machine 1 folds the upper garment automatically, and the embodiment is also within the scope of the present invention.

A clothes folding machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 to 15, the clothes folding machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 100, a folding platform mechanism 200, a clothes conveying mechanism 300, a clothes dragging mechanism 400, a clothes positioning mechanism 500, a hanger separating mechanism 600, a trousers lifting mechanism 700, a clothes folding mechanism 800, a control unit, an identification unit, a detection unit, a hanger receiving unit, and a clothes receiving unit.

Specifically, the identification unit and the detection unit are in communication with the control unit, respectively. The identification unit is used for identifying whether the clothes which are flatly laid on the folding platform mechanism 200 by the clothes dragging mechanism 400 are coats or trousers, so that the corresponding clothes folding action can be conveniently executed subsequently. The detecting unit is used for detecting whether the clothes (jacket) flatly laid on the folding platform mechanism 200 by the clothes dragging mechanism 400 exceeds the folding platform mechanism 200, and when the clothes are detected to be too long, the clothes can be firstly folded once by the clothes folding mechanism 800 under the cooperation of the clothes positioning mechanism 500, so that the clothes are flatly laid on the folding platform mechanism 200 completely.

Further, the clothes hanger receiving unit is arranged below the clothes hanger separating mechanism 600, and after the clothes hanger is separated from the clothes laid on the folding platform mechanism 200 by the clothes hanger separating mechanism 600, the clothes hanger falls into the clothes hanger receiving unit. The clothes storage unit is arranged below the folding platform mechanism 200, and clothes sliding down from the folding platform mechanism 200 fall into the clothes storage unit.

Alternatively, the relative positions of the mechanisms on the rack 100 are generally described below, as shown in fig. 1, the folding platform mechanism 200 is disposed at the center of the rack 100, the clothes conveying mechanism 300 is disposed adjacent to the rear end of the rack 100, the hanger separating mechanism 600 and the trousers lifting mechanism 700 are disposed adjacent to the front end of the rack 100, the clothes positioning mechanism 500 and the clothes folding mechanism 800 are respectively disposed around the folding platform mechanism 200, and the clothes dragging mechanism 400 is disposed above the folding platform mechanism 200 and is reciprocally movable between the clothes conveying mechanism 300 and the hanger separating mechanism 600. Therefore, the mechanisms can complete respective actions conveniently, and interference among the mechanisms is avoided.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1-3 and 15, the laundry conveying mechanism 300 includes an upper driving wheel 310, a lower driving wheel 320, a timing belt 330, and a conveying driving device 340.

The upper drive wheel 310 is rotatably mounted on the frame 100. The lower driving wheel 320 is rotatably installed on the frame 100 and located below the upper driving wheel 310. The synchronous belt 330 is sleeved on the upper driving wheel 310 and the lower driving wheel 320, and the synchronous belt 330 is provided with a hook. The conveying driving device 340 is installed on the frame 100 and is in transmission connection with at least one of the upper driving wheel 310 and the lower driving wheel 320, and the control unit is in communication with the conveying driving device 340.

The clothes hanger with clothes is hung on the hook 331 of the synchronous belt 330, the conveying driving device 340 is controlled by the control unit to operate, the conveying driving device 340 drives at least one of the upper driving wheel 310 and the lower driving wheel 320 to rotate when operating, and because the upper driving wheel 310 and the lower driving wheel 320 are connected by the tension of the synchronous belt 330, the upper driving wheel 310 and the lower driving wheel 320 synchronously rotate and drive the synchronous belt 330 to move, so that the clothes hanger on the hook 331 of the synchronous belt 330 is conveyed from bottom to top and then conveyed from back to front, and the clothes dragging mechanism 400 is convenient to connect the clothes hanger and flatly spread the clothes on the folding platform mechanism 200. Therefore, the clothes rack can be conveyed, the clothes rack is separated from the synchronous belt 330, and the clothes rack is combined with the clothes dragging mechanism 400, so that the clothes can be continuously conveyed.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the upper fixing base 110 and the lower fixing base 120 are mounted on the rack 100, the number of the upper fixing base 110 and the lower fixing base 120 may be determined according to practical applications, the upper driving wheel 310 is rotatably mounted on the upper fixing base 110 through an upper rotating shaft 311, and the lower driving wheel 320 is rotatably mounted on the lower fixing base 120 through a lower rotating shaft 321, so as to rotatably mount the upper driving wheel 310 and the lower driving wheel 320 on the rack 100.

Further, in order to ensure smooth rotation of the upper driving wheel 310 and the lower driving wheel 320 and reduce wear of components, the upper rotating shaft 311 is engaged with the upper fixing base 110 through an upper bearing, and the lower rotating shaft 321 is engaged with the lower fixing base 120 through a lower bearing.

In some specific examples of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the upper driving wheels 310 are a plurality of wheels rotating synchronously, the lower driving wheels 320 are a plurality of wheels rotating synchronously, and the number of the upper driving wheels 310 is the same as the number of the lower driving wheels 320 and is paired with each other. The plurality of synchronous belts 330 are provided, and each synchronous belt 330 is respectively sleeved on one upper driving wheel 310 and one lower driving wheel 320, that is, each synchronous belt 330 is tightly sleeved on a pair of upper driving wheels 310 and lower driving wheels 320. The drawings show two examples of the upper driving wheel 310, the lower driving wheel 320 and the timing belt 330, respectively, although the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, a plurality of synchronous belts 330 can be used for communicating and conveying the clothes hangers with clothes, the stability of the clothes hangers and the clothes in the conveying process is ensured, the clothes are always kept in a balanced state, and the subsequent clothes dragging mechanism 400 is convenient for regularly and flatly paving the clothes on the folding platform mechanism 200.

Further, as shown in fig. 2, the plurality of upper drive wheels 310 share an upper rotating shaft 311; and/or a plurality of lower driving wheels 320 share a lower rotating shaft 321. In other words, the plurality of upper driving wheels 310 share one upper rotating shaft 311, the plurality of lower driving wheels 320 share one lower rotating shaft 321, or the plurality of upper driving wheels 310 share one upper rotating shaft 311 and the plurality of lower driving wheels 320 share one lower rotating shaft 321. This can improve the synchronism of the rotation of the plurality of upper driving wheels 310 and the plurality of lower driving wheels 320, and can simplify the structure.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 2, the conveying driving device 340 is in transmission connection with at least one of the upper rotating shaft 311 and the lower rotating shaft 321 through a conveying transmission belt 350 to transmit power, and variable transmission may be achieved. In the figure, an alternative example is shown, two lower transmission wheels 320 share one lower rotating shaft 321, two upper transmission wheels 310 respectively and independently adopt one upper rotating shaft 311, and a conveying driving device 340 is in transmission connection with the lower rotating shaft 321 through a conveying belt 350.

In some specific examples of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the hook 331 may be plural, and the plural hooks 331 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the timing belt 330 at intervals in the circumferential direction of the timing belt 330, for example, the plural hooks 331 may be provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the timing belt 330. Therefore, the hangers can be hung on each hook 331, and after the clothes on the previous hanger are folded, the next hanger can be immediately conveyed, so that the continuous conveying and folding of the clothes are further facilitated, and the clothes folding efficiency is further improved.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the hook 331 includes a connecting portion 332 and a stopper portion 333.

One end of the connecting portion 332 is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the timing belt 330. The stopper 333 is connected to the other end of the connecting portion 332, and the hanger is hung on the connecting portion 332 and stopped by the stopper 333.

Wherein, when the hook 331 rotates to face the outside of the clothes folding machine 1 (i.e., to the rear) along with the belt 330, the stopper 333 extends upward from the connecting part 332. When the hook 331 rotates toward the inside of the clothes stacker 1 (i.e., toward the front) along with the belt 330, the stopper 333 extends downward from the connecting portion 332. Therefore, when the clothes rack is lifted and conveyed, the clothes rack is ensured not to be separated from the hook 331, and after the clothes rack is conveyed forwards in place, the clothes rack can be automatically separated from the hook 331, so that the clothes dragging mechanism 400 can conveniently take and take the clothes rack.

Advantageously, the hook 331 is integrally formed with the timing belt 330, thereby simplifying a manufacturing process, reducing a manufacturing cost, and improving reliability of a structure.

The operation according to the laundry conveying mechanism 300 will be described below by way of example with reference to fig. 1 to 3.

Firstly, a jacket or trousers are hung on the clothes hanger, the left and right symmetrical parts of the same clothes hanger can be respectively hung on the hooks 331 which are positioned at the same height on the two synchronous belts 330, namely, a plurality of clothes hangers with clothes can be hung on the synchronous belts 330. The conveying driving device 340 drives the lower driving wheel 320 and the upper driving wheel 310 to rotate, so as to drive the synchronous belt 330 to move, the clothes rack with clothes is lifted, after the clothes are lifted to the top end of the synchronous belt 330, the clothes rack moves forward along the tangential direction of the upper driving wheel 310, at this time or after the synchronous belt 330 continues to move, the stopping part 333 extends downwards from the connecting part 332, the clothes rack can be separated from the hook 331, and therefore the clothes dragging mechanism 400 can conveniently receive the clothes rack and flatly place the clothes on the clothes rack on the folding platform mechanism 200. After the clothes on the previous clothes hanger are folded, the synchronous belt 330 continues to convey the next clothes hanger until the clothes on the synchronous belt 330 are folded in sequence, and the clothes hangers with the clothes can be hung on the hooks 331 of the synchronous belt 330 again, so that the continuous conveying of the clothes is completed in sequence and circularly.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the clothes dragging mechanism 400 includes a clothes dragging rail 410, a clothes dragging lever 420, and a clothes dragging driving means 430.

The trawl rail 410 is installed on the frame 100 and extends in the front-rear direction. The clothes bar 420 is engaged with the clothes rail 410, the clothes bar 420 is reciprocally movable in the front and rear directions along the clothes rail 410, and the clothes bar 420 is provided with a picker 421 for picking up the clothes from the clothes transfer mechanism 300 through the hanger.

The separation driving means 630 is drivingly connected to at least one of the front separation drive wheel 641 and the rear separation drive wheel 642. For example, the separation driving device 630 is installed at the rear end of the separation rail 610 and stands downward, and the separation driving device 630 is in transmission connection with the rear separation transmission wheel 642. A separation transmission belt 643 is sleeved on the front separation transmission wheel 641 and the rear separation transmission wheel 642 and connected with the separation fixing seat 622. The separation driving device 630 drives the front separation driving wheel 641 and the rear separation driving wheel 642 to synchronously rotate during operation, so as to drive the separation driving belt 643 to move, and thus the separation fixing seat 622 and the separation bracket 620 are driven to reciprocate along the separation track 610 through the separation driving belt 643.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, a first separating clip 625 and a second separating clip 626 are disposed on the separating fixing seat 622, and a separating belt 643 is clamped between the first separating clip 625 and the second separating clip 626 to drivingly connect the separating fixing seat 622 to the separating belt 643, so that the separating belt 643 drives the separating fixing seat 622 to move.

The front garment left lateral positioning rocker arm 541, the rear garment left lateral positioning rocker arm 542, the front garment right lateral positioning rocker arm 551 and the rear garment right lateral positioning rocker arm 552 are returned. The left middle positioning rocker arm 531 and the right middle positioning rocker arm 532 act to press the middle of the coat, the longitudinal coat folding rod 814 moves forwards and folds the coat, and then the longitudinal coat folding rod 814, the left middle positioning rocker arm 531 and the right middle positioning rocker arm 532 return.

It can be understood that the sequence of the movement of the left transverse clothes folding rod 833 and the right transverse clothes folding rod 843 is not fixed, and the left side or the right side can be folded first; also, the whole movement of the two clothes folding rods can be staggered, for example, when one transverse clothes folding rod is returned, the other transverse clothes folding rod can start to move to fold the clothes, and therefore the operation time of the clothes folding machine is more reasonably arranged. Of course, in order to reduce the interference in the folding process of the clothes, the transverse clothes folding rod needs to complete the return between the movements of the longitudinal clothes folding rod.

Secondly, if the length of the upper garment exceeds the folding platform mechanism 200, the left garment bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 511 acts and presses the left side of the rear part of the upper garment, the right garment bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 512 acts and presses the right side of the rear part of the upper garment, and the longitudinal garment folding rod 814 acts and folds the part of the upper garment exceeding the folding platform mechanism 200, so that the upper garment is completely and flatly laid on the folding platform mechanism 200. Then, the left bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 511 and the right bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 512 return, the front left lateral positioning rocker arm 541 moves and presses the front part of the left side of the upper garment, the rear left lateral positioning rocker arm 542 moves and presses the rear part of the left side of the upper garment, the front right lateral positioning rocker arm 551 moves and presses the front part of the right side of the upper garment, the rear right lateral positioning rocker arm 552 moves and presses the rear part of the right side of the upper garment, the clothes hanger separating mechanism 600 separates the clothes hanger from the upper garment, the left lateral clothes folding rod 833 moves from left to right and folds the left side and left sleeves of the upper garment, the left lateral clothes folding rod 833 returns after folding, the right lateral clothes folding rod 843 moves from right to left and folds the right side and right sleeves of the upper garment, and the right lateral clothes folding rod 843 returns after folding. The front garment left lateral positioning rocker arm 541, the rear garment left lateral positioning rocker arm 542, the front garment right lateral positioning rocker arm 551 and the rear garment right lateral positioning rocker arm 552 are returned. The left middle positioning rocker arm 531 and the right middle positioning rocker arm 532 act to press the middle of the coat, the longitudinal coat folding rod 814 moves forwards and folds the coat, and then the longitudinal coat folding rod 814, the left middle positioning rocker arm 531 and the right middle positioning rocker arm 532 return.

(2) When the identification unit detects that the clothes are trousers, the receiver 421 is powered off to release the clothes rack, the separator 621 is powered on to suck the clothes rack, then the separation bracket 620 moves forward under the driving of the separation driving device 630 and drives the clothes rack and the trousers thereon, the trousers waist is clamped by the trousers clamp 752 in the process of moving forward, and after the separation bracket 620 continues to move forward, the clothes rack is separated from the trousers. The left top longitudinal positioning rocker 521 acts to position the front part of the left side of the trousers and the right top longitudinal positioning rocker 522 acts to position the front part of the right side of the trousers, it being understood here that the left top longitudinal positioning rocker 521 and the right top longitudinal positioning rocker 522 only serve a positioning and guiding function, without compressing the trousers. The vertical driving device 770 then drives the trouser clamp assembly 750 to ascend along the vertical rail 740 and drive the trousers to ascend, for example, by 1/4 of the total length of the trousers, and under the positioning guide of the left top longitudinal positioning rocker 521 and the right top longitudinal positioning rocker 522, the trousers still keep flat on the folding platform mechanism 200 during the ascending process, and the length of the part of the trousers beyond the folding platform mechanism 200 is shortened.

Then, the left bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 511 acts to press the rear part of the left side of the trousers, the right bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 512 acts to press the rear part of the right side of the trousers, the longitudinal clothes folding rod 814 folds the part of the trousers beyond the folding platform mechanism 200 forwards under the matching of the left bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 511 and the right bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 512, one-time folding is completed, and the longitudinal clothes folding rod 814, the left bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 511 and the right bottom longitudinal positioning rocker arm 512 return.
