EXAMPLE III
In this embodiment, when the clothes are unfolded on the surfaces of two adjacent folding conveyors, the clothes folding machine controls the two folding conveyors to rotate in opposite directions, so that two ends of the clothes are conveyed towards the middle, and controls the corresponding first/second folding mechanisms to move and insert into the folding output/conveying channels, so as to press the clothes into the folding output/conveying channels for folding, and then convey the clothes out.
Specifically, when the clothes are unfolded on the surfaces of the third folding conveying device and the first folding conveying device, namely the fifth conveying surface and the first conveying surface, the first folding conveying device and the third folding conveying device are controlled to rotate oppositely, and meanwhile, the second lead screw motor is controlled to drive the second lead screw to rotate forwards, so that the second pressing plate is driven to be downwards pressed and inserted into the folding conveying channel, and the clothes are pressed into the folding conveying channel to be folded.

Example four
In this embodiment, as a further limitation of the second embodiment, the control method further includes that, during the process of conveying the clothes, the clothes folding machine obtains the length range of the clothes, and determines whether the length range is smaller than the preset length L', and according to the difference of the determination result, the conveying manner of the folding conveyor is different, and the moving manner of the first folding mechanism and the second folding mechanism is also different.
As shown in fig. 4, in order to obtain the length range of the clothes to be folded, a sensing unit for identifying the length of the clothes to be folded is arranged on the conveying device, the clothes folding machine is provided with a main control system, the main control system is respectively connected with the conveying device and the sensing unit, the sensing unit comprises a first sensing unit 51 and a second sensing unit 52 for sensing the clothes to be folded, and the main control system controls the folding action of the clothes to be folded on the folding conveying mechanism by detecting the length range of the clothes to be folded through the clothes sensing unit, so that a better folding effect is achieved.

Preferably, the first sensing unit 51 and the second sensing unit 52 are photoelectric sensors connected to the main control system; more preferably, the photoelectric sensor is an opposite-type photoelectric sensor, and the opposite-type photoelectric sensor is used for detecting the clothes, so that the capability of the clothes folding machine for processing clothes with different colors and materials and measuring the length of the clothes is improved.
The method for acquiring the length range of the clothes specifically comprises the following steps: the clothes move along the clothes entering direction, when the second sensing unit 52 senses the clothes, the main control system judges whether the first sensing unit 51 senses the clothes, and when the first sensing unit 51 senses the clothes, the main control system judges that the length L of the clothes is greater than L'; when the first sensing unit 51 does not sense the laundry, it is determined that the laundry length L is less than L'.
In the clothing length detection method, the correlation type photoelectric sensor consists of two parts, namely a light emitter and a light receiver, when no obstacle exists between the two parts, the light emitter of the sensor emits light, the light receiver receives the light, and the light receiver outputs a low level signal; on the contrary, when there is an obstacle between the light emitter and the light receiver, the light receiver outputs a high level signal.
The first sensing unit 51 and the second sensing unit 52 cooperate to detect the length range of the clothes, the transmission distance L 'between the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit is fixedly set, for example, 62cm, if the second sensing unit is true (the clothes are detected), the first sensing unit is still true (the clothes are detected), and at this time, the length of the clothes is judged to be greater than or equal to the transmission distance L' between the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit; if the second sensing unit is true (laundry is detected), the first sensing unit is false (laundry is not detected), and at this time, it is determined that the laundry length is less than the transfer distance L' between the first sensing unit and the second sensing unit.
When the clothes folding machine judges that the length of the clothes is more than or equal to the preset length L', the clothes are folded twice by controlling the folding conveying device, the first folding mechanism and the second folding mechanism. Specifically, the control method includes the steps of:
1) controlling the third folding conveyor and the first folding conveyor to move leftwards to convey a part of the clothes from the fifth conveying surface to the first conveying surface, wherein the length of the clothes left on the fifth conveying surface is smaller than that of the clothes conveyed to the first conveying surface;
2) controlling the third folding conveying device to continuously convey leftwards, controlling the first folding conveying device to convey rightwards, controlling a second screw motor to drive a second screw to rotate forwards, driving a second pressing plate to press downwards and insert into the folding conveying channel, and pressing clothes into the folding conveying channel to be folded for the first time;

1) controlling the third folding conveyor and the first folding conveyor to move leftwards to convey a part of the clothes from the fifth conveying surface to the first conveying surface, wherein the length of the clothes left on the fifth conveying surface is approximately equal to the length of the clothes conveyed to the first conveying surface;
2) controlling the third folding conveying device to continuously convey leftwards, controlling the first folding conveying device to convey rightwards, controlling a second screw motor to drive a second screw to rotate forwards, driving a second pressing plate to press downwards and insert into the folding conveying channel, and pressing clothes into the folding conveying channel to be folded for the first time;
3) and controlling the third folding conveying device and the first folding conveying device to continue conveying, controlling a second screw motor to drive a second screw to rotate reversely, driving a second pressing plate to draw out a folding conveying channel upwards, controlling the second folding conveying device to convey leftwards, conveying the folded clothes from the folding conveying channel to a folding output channel, and outputting the clothes through the folding output channel to finish clothes folding.
The present embodiment provides a control method for folding a relatively short garment, folding the garment only once; for the clothes with different lengths, the folding times of the clothes are different by controlling the clothes folding machine, so that the sizes of the folded clothes are closer, and the folded clothes are convenient to store.
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.
