The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.
As shown in fig. 1 to 10, the present invention relates to a clothes folding machine including a transfer mechanism that can move clothes, and a folding flap that folds the clothes. The conveying mechanism can formbase:Sub>A platform, when the clothes are flatly laid on the platform, the folding turnover plates are arranged on the sides of the platform and can fold the clothes to enable the clothes to be inbase:Sub>A folded state, and figures 2-10 are views in the direction A-A in figure 1.
As shown in fig. 1, the clothes folding machine includes a conveying mechanism for moving the clothes, the conveying mechanism may be a conveying mechanism formed by a rotating roller and a conveyor belt, an upper surface of the conveyor belt is horizontally disposed, and the clothes can move along with the conveyor belt when being placed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt.
The folding flaps comprise at least 21 a first flap and a second flap 22, and typical garments are of symmetrical design, whereby the first flap and the second flap are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the transport mechanism for folding both sides of the garment. The first turning plate and the second turning plate form a horizontal platform with the upper surface of the conveying belt for placing clothes in an initial state, the middle part of the clothes is located on the conveying belt, two sides of the clothes are located on the folding turning plates, and after the clothes are conveyed to a specific position, the first turning plate and the second turning plate are turned over in sequence, so that two sides of the clothes are turned over to the conveying mechanism, and the clothes folding machine performs subsequent operation to arrange the length direction of the clothes.
The arrangement of the length direction of the clothes is carried out through a conveying mechanism, as shown in fig. 1, the conveying mechanism at least comprises a first conveying mechanism 11 and a second conveying mechanism 12, the arrangement of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism is along the conveying direction, the top view of the clothes folding machine is shown in fig. 1, it can be seen that the first conveying mechanism 11 is arranged in the direction close to the entering direction of the clothes, the second conveying mechanism 12 is arranged along the conveying direction of the clothes and is aligned with the first conveying mechanism, a first turning plate 21 is arranged on the left side of the conveying mechanism and used for turning over the left side of the clothes, and a second turning plate 22 is arranged on the right side of the conveying mechanism and used for turning over the right side of the clothes. The folding flaps are initially arranged horizontally and can be folded in the direction of the transport mechanism, i.e. the first flap on the left side is fixed to the frame of the clothes folding machine via a pivot and can be folded to the right along the pivot, and the second flap on the right side is likewise fixed to the frame of the clothes folding machine via a pivot and can be folded to the left along the pivot. The two rotation axes may be arranged according to the position of the transfer mechanism, and may be arranged in a horizontal state.
When the first conveying mechanism 11 and the second conveying mechanism 12 are conveyed in the same direction, the clothes on the conveying mechanism are in a relatively flat state, and on the conveying belt, because a certain friction force exists between the clothes and the conveying belt, the clothes can be flatly spread on the conveying mechanism. As shown in fig. 2, the side of the first conveying mechanism contacting with the clothes and the side of the second conveying mechanism contacting with the clothes can move in the same direction to drive the clothes to move towards the inside of the clothes folding machine. The first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism can also rotate relatively, the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are arranged at intervals, one surface of the first conveying mechanism, which is contacted with clothes, and one surface of the second conveying mechanism, which is contacted with the clothes, move towards the interval, so that the clothes pass through the interval between the middle parts of the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism. Because the clothes and the conveying mechanism have certain friction force, the clothes can move to the interval under the action of the conveying belt, the middle part of the clothes can firstly pass through the interval, and the rest parts of the clothes enter the interval along with the upper middle part of the clothes, so that the clothes are folded in half, as shown in figures 3-4.
Fig. 2-6 are side views of the internal structure of the clothes folding machine, as shown in the figure, the first conveying mechanism at least comprises a first rotating roller, a second rotating roller and a first conveying belt sleeved on the first rotating roller and the second rotating roller, the second conveying mechanism at least comprises a third rotating roller, a fourth rotating roller and a second conveying belt sleeved on the third rotating roller and the fourth rotating roller, and the first rotating roller, the second rotating roller, the third rotating roller and the fourth rotating roller are arranged in parallel and are located on the same horizontal plane.
After the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism are folded, the clothes folding machine is further provided with a movable clothes carrying platform for receiving the folded clothes.
The movable clothes carrying platform 3 is arranged below the interval between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism and used for receiving clothes which are tidied in the width direction and are folded in half in the length direction. The clothes carrying platform moves horizontally when the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism move oppositely.
As shown in fig. 2, the conveying mechanism further includes a third conveying mechanism 13, and the third conveying mechanism 13 is disposed below the interval between the first conveying mechanism 11 and the second conveying mechanism 12 and above the clothing loading platform 13. Because the thickness of clothing is different, the interval between third transport mechanism upper surface and the lower surface of first transport mechanism/second transport mechanism is adjustable, can be provided with elastic mechanism, and when the clothing is thicker, third transport mechanism is far away from first transport mechanism and second transport mechanism, and when the clothing is thinner, third transport mechanism is near apart from first transport mechanism and second transport mechanism.
As shown in fig. 7-10, the transfer mechanism may further include a fourth transfer mechanism, the third transfer mechanism and the fourth transfer mechanism are spaced apart, and the loading platform is movable to a position below the space between the third transfer mechanism and the fourth transfer mechanism.
The control method of the clothes folding machine comprises the following steps: the clothes folding machine controls the conveying mechanism to convey clothes to a target position, then controls the conveying mechanism to stop moving, and controls the folding turnover plate to turn over.
When the clothes folding machine is provided with a first turning plate, a second turning plate, a first conveying mechanism and a second conveying mechanism, the clothes folding machine firstly controls the first conveying mechanism 11 and the second conveying mechanism 12 to transmit in the same direction, namely controls the first conveying belt to rotate in the direction of an arrow in fig. 1, and controls the second conveying belt to rotate in the direction of an arrow in fig. 1. The clothes are driven by the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism to move towards the interior of the clothes folding machine, when the clothes move to a specific position, namely the middle of the clothes is located at the interval between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, the clothes folding machine controls the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism to stop rotating, as shown in fig. 2, the clothes are flatly laid at the set position, and the clothes are uniformly distributed on the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism.
As shown in fig. 11-12, after the clothes are laid flat, the clothes folding machine controls the first turning plate to turn over toward the conveying mechanism, the left side of the clothes falls on the conveying mechanism through turning over, then controls the second turning plate to turn over toward the conveying mechanism, and the right side of the clothes falls on the conveying mechanism through turning over, so that the arrangement of the clothes in the width direction is completed. The back of the clothes can face upwards, so that the side faces of the clothes can be folded into the shape shown in figure 12, and the clothes are more suitable for the habit of folding the clothes.
After the clothes are finished in the width direction, the clothes are in a strip shape along the conveying direction, as shown in fig. 3, the clothes folding machine controls the second conveying mechanism 12 to rotate reversely, the first conveying mechanism 11 continues to rotate reversely, the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism have certain friction force due to different rotating directions, and a gap is formed between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, so that the middle of the clothes firstly sinks into the gap, and other parts of the clothes are driven to be conveyed from the gap together.
As shown in fig. 13, the side of the laundry contacting the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism is shown in fig. 13, wherein one side of the dotted line is half of the first conveying mechanism, the other side of the dotted line is half of the second conveying mechanism, and the dotted line corresponds to the interval between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism. After the folding is completed according to the above process, the garment is formed as shown in fig. 14.
The clothes folding machine in fig. 3 has a third conveyor mechanism which, after contact with the clothes, can be rotated to be able to receive the clothes and lay the folded clothes flat on the third conveyor mechanism. The clothes folding machine in fig. 3 can also receive the clothes directly through the movable clothes carrying platform 3 without providing a third conveying mechanism. The loading platform can move horizontally, as shown in fig. 5, and the loading platform moves and receives clothes from the conveying mechanism at the same time.
The garment in fig. 4 has been folded in half and the garment, half of its length, is transported to the loading platform by the third transport mechanism. Due to the fact that the thicknesses of the clothes are different, the third conveying mechanism can adjust the space for containing the clothes through the elastic mechanism, and therefore the clothes can pass through the gaps among the transmission mechanisms. The rotation direction of the third conveying mechanism is shown in the figure, and the rotation direction of the third conveying mechanism needs to be matched with the movement direction of the clothes carrying platform in a reverse direction, so that the clothes can be delivered. The process in fig. 5 and 6 is that the clothes folded once are conveyed to the clothes carrying platform, the clothes carrying platform is movable and can be ejected out of the cavity of the clothes folding machine for the user to take out the folded clothes.
The control of the first transport mechanism, the second transport mechanism and the folding flap is the same as the previous embodiment, as shown in fig. 7-10, the clothes folding machine has a third transport mechanism 13 and a fourth transport mechanism 14, after the clothes fall on the third transport mechanism 13, the third transport mechanism has a rotation direction as shown in fig. 8, the rotation direction is a direction capable of driving the clothes to move to the fourth transport mechanism, and the clothes need to be laid on the third transport mechanism and the fourth transport mechanism at the same time.
Because the sizes of the clothes are different, the clothes are probably still longer after being folded by the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, and the requirement of people for accommodating the clothes cannot be met, so that the clothes can be continuously folded for the second time when the clothes are longer.
As shown in fig. 9, the third and fourth transfer mechanisms have the same rotation direction when receiving the clothes, so that the clothes folded in half for the first time can be simultaneously laid on the plane formed by the third and fourth transfer mechanisms, and after the middle of the clothes is aligned with the third and fourth transfer mechanisms again, the fourth transfer mechanism rotates in the reverse direction, and as shown in fig. 10, the clothes are folded in half for the second time, and the folded state is shortened by half again in the length direction.
The clothes carrying platform 3 is arranged below the interval between the third conveying mechanism 13 and the fourth conveying mechanism 14 and is used for receiving the clothes folded in half for the second time.
The clothes folding machine of fig. 7-10 can also complete the folding of the clothes once. The clothes folding machine may be provided with a judging module for judging whether the clothes are smaller than a set length:
when the length of the clothes is smaller than the set length, the clothes are conveyed to the clothes carrying platform through the third conveying mechanism, the third conveying mechanism and the fourth conveying mechanism do not rotate in the same direction, and the third conveying mechanism and the fourth conveying mechanism directly rotate relative to each other to enable the clothes to be directly conveyed to the clothes carrying platform.
When the clothes are longer than the set length, the clothes folding machine controls the third conveying mechanism and the fourth conveying mechanism to move relatively, so that the clothes are folded for the second time through the interval between the third conveying mechanism and the fourth conveying mechanism and then are conveyed to the clothes loading platform.
The clothes folding machine is provided with a folding platform, a folding turning plate can be fixed on the folding platform through a rotating shaft, and the folding turning plate can rotate along the rotating shaft.
Because the clothes folding machine is provided with a plurality of turning plates, if each turning plate is provided with a motor for driving, the device arranged at the bottom of the turning plate is too heavy, the installation of other structures is influenced, the size of the clothes folding machine is large, and the cost is increased. Whether the folding turning plate is turned over in place needs to be detected by a sensor, and the sensor needs to be debugged after being used for a period of time, so that the long-term use of a user is not facilitated.
The folding turnover plate utilizes one motor to drive the two turnover plates to move, so that the cost is saved, and the stability is enhanced. The folding turning plates are respectively driven by the same motor.
The folding turning plate at least comprises a first turning plate 21 and a second turning plate 22, the first turning plate 21 is rotatably connected with the folding platform through a first rotating shaft, the second turning plate 22 is rotatably connected with the folding platform through a second rotating shaft, a transmission mechanism is arranged between the first turning plate/the second turning plate and the motor, and the transmission mechanism is used for transmitting the rotation of a power output shaft of the motor to the turning plate.
In order to simplify the transmission mechanism at the bottom of the folding turnover plate, and because the first turnover plate and the second turnover plate share one motor, the first turnover plate and the second turnover plate can share one set of transmission mechanism.
As shown in fig. 15 and 16, fig. 16 is a view along a direction B-B in fig. 15, the first rotating shaft is coaxially disposed and fixedly connected with a first driven gear 211, the second rotating shaft is coaxially disposed and fixedly connected with a second driven gear 221, the motor 4 is provided with a driving gear 41 which rotates along with a power output shaft of the motor, and the transmission mechanism includes a rack 42 disposed between the first driven gear 211 and the driving gear 41/between the second driven gear 221 and the driving gear 41.
The distance between the gears and the length of the rack have the following position relationship, the contact parts of the driving gear 41, the first driven gear 211, the second driven gear 221 and the rack 42 are positioned on the same straight line, the rack 42 is linear and moves along the straight line, the central distance between the driving gear and the first driven gear is H1, the central distance between the driving gear and the second driven gear is H2, the length of the rack is H3, H3 is more than H1, H3 is more than H2, and H3 is not more than H1+ H2.
The position relation can ensure that the rack is only transmitted with one driven gear in the moving range, and cannot drive the two driven gears simultaneously, and finally two independent turnover processes can be realized.
As shown in fig. 17, when the rack is in contact with the first driven gear 211 and the driving gear 41, the driving gear rotates to drive the rack to move leftward, so that the first flap can be folded toward the conveying mechanism, and the left side of the clothes is folded. At the moment, the length of the rack can only contact with the first driven gear and the driving gear, so that the second turning plate is not influenced and keeps a static state. As shown in fig. 18, when the rack moves rightwards and only contacts with the driving gear 41 and the second driven gear 221, the driving gear rotates to drive the rack to move rightwards, so that the second flap is folded towards the conveying mechanism, the right side of the clothes is folded, and the first flap is not affected.
The teeth of the driving gear and the driven gear are meshed with the teeth of the rack, but the sizes of the driving gear and the driven gear can be different, the bottom of the driving gear and the bottom of the driven gear are located on the same straight line, and the driving gear and the driven gear can be in contact with the gears when the rack moves along the straight line.
As shown in fig. 19, the contact portions of the driving gear 41, the first driven gear 211, and the second driven gear 221 with the racks are located on the same arc line, and the racks are arc-shaped racks 42' of an arc line type and move along the arc line.
Because the setting position of the motor is limited, a driving gear connected with the motor cannot be always arranged on the same straight line with a driven gear, so that the rack can be also in an arc line type, the whole shape is a part of a circle, the length of the arc and the positions among all the gears are arranged in a reference straight line type, and the folding turning plate can be independently turned over without influencing other turning plates.
When the rack is in an arc shape, one end of the rack possibly exceeds a plane where the folding turning plate is located when in the initial position due to the fact that the rack moves along the arc, and the rack cannot conflict with the folding turning plate due to the fact that the folding turning plate can be turned over when the rack moves.
As shown in fig. 16, a first limit switch and a second limit switch are respectively arranged at two ends of the rack and are used for controlling the movement of the rack; the first limit switch is located on one side of the first driven gear, and the second limit switch is located on one side of the second driven gear. The clothes folding machine has certain requirements on the folding angle of the folding turning plate, so that devices such as a proximity sensor and the like are required to be arranged to judge whether the folding turning plate is folded in place or not in general. However, the proximity sensor is not suitable for being used in families because the sensitivity of the proximity sensor needs to be further debugged after being used for a period of time.
The control method of the clothes folding machine comprises the steps that after clothes are placed on the folding platform, the clothes folding machine controls the motor to drive the folding turning plates to turn over in sequence to fold the clothes.
Specifically, the clothes folding machine controls the motor to rotate to enable the driving gear to drive the rack to move, the rack drives the first driven gear to rotate to enable the first turning plate to rotate to enable one side of clothes to be turned over on the conveying mechanism, the clothes folding machine controls the motor to rotate reversely to enable the first turning plate to recover the initial position, the driving gear drives the rack to move to be in contact with the second driven gear and drives the second driven gear to rotate to enable the second turning plate to rotate, and the clothes are located on the conveying mechanism.
When the clothes folding machine is provided with the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism, the clothes folding machine controls the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism to move in the same direction, clothes are laid on the folding platform and then stop rotating, and after the folding turnover plate is turned over in sequence, the clothes folding machine controls the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the clothes pass through the interval between the first conveying mechanism and the second conveying mechanism.
When the rack moves to the first limit switch, the clothes folding machine controls the motor to stop or rotate reversely, and when the rack moves to the second limit switch, the clothes folding machine controls the motor to stop or rotate reversely. Because the first turning plate and the second turning plate can be respectively turned, after the first turning plate is turned, the rack can be stopped to move after the first turning plate restores to the initial position, and the rack can also be continuously moved to turn the second turning plate. The above process can be controlled according to different clothes. When the clothes are thick or irregular after being turned for the first time, the first turning plate can be controlled to be turned for a plurality of times continuously, and then the second turning plate is controlled to be turned for a plurality of times, or the two turning plates are alternately turned for a plurality of times, so that the clothes are regular.
The folding machine can complete the folding actions of a plurality of folding turning plates by controlling one motor, and can set the folding angle through the setting of the limit switch, thereby avoiding the defect that the sensor needs to be debugged.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
