As shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, by providing the escape roller 1010, the first transport conveyor 111 can escape from the eleventh folding rotating roller 2011 in the lower folding conveyor mechanism 200 without increasing the distance between the folding conveyor mechanism 200 and the transport conveyor mechanism 100. Therefore, the arrangement of the avoiding roller 1010 improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the clothes folding machine, and further reduces the volume of the whole clothes folding machine.

Therefore, as soon as one of the first conveyor belt 111 and the second conveyor belt 121 starts to rotate, the other conveyor belt can be driven to rotate by the attached portion. Therefore, one driving device can drive the first conveying and conveying mechanism 110 and the second conveying and conveying mechanism 120 simultaneously to drive the first conveying and conveying mechanism 110 and the second conveying and conveying mechanism 120 to operate simultaneously, so that the space occupied by the driving device is reduced, the space inside the clothes folding machine is saved, and the size of the whole machine is further reduced.

Further, the second conveying and conveying mechanism 120 further includes a sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and a seventh conveying rotating roller 1007, and the sixth conveying rotating roller 1006 and the second conveying rotating roller 1002 are respectively located on upper and lower sides of the fifth conveying rotating roller 1005. A fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, a sixth conveying rotating roller 1006, and a seventh conveying rotating roller 1007 are provided inside the second conveying belt 121, and a second conveying rotating roller 1002 and a fifth conveying rotating roller 1005 are provided outside the second conveying belt 121. Guide surfaces are formed between the sixth conveying-rotating roller 1006 and the fifth conveying-rotating roller 1005.

Preferably, sixth conveying rotatable roller 1006 and fifth conveying rotatable roller 1005 are at least partially overlapped in the horizontal direction, or sixth conveying rotatable roller 1006 is located between fifth conveying rotatable roller 1005 and first conveying rotatable roller 1001 in the horizontal direction. That is, as shown in fig. 2, the rightmost end of the sixth conveying rotatable roller 1006 is positioned on the right side of the leftmost end of the fifth conveying rotatable roller 1005.

In the above solution, the sixth conveying and rotating roller 1006 is positioned such that the guiding surface and the left end of the fourth conveying surface form an included angle γ smaller than 90 °, which can play a guiding role when the clothes enter the conveying and conveying channel B from the third conveying surface, so that the clothes can enter the conveying and conveying channel B more easily, and the clothes can be kept flat when entering the conveying and conveying channel B.

In a further aspect of this embodiment, a second tension roller 402 is further provided between the sixth conveying rotatable roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotatable roller 1007, and the second tension roller 402 is provided inside the second conveying belt 121, so that the second conveying belt 121 between the sixth conveying rotatable roller 1006 and the seventh conveying rotatable roller 1007 is projected outward.

Preferably, the diameter of the second tension roller 402 is smaller than the diameter of the sixth conveying rotatable roller 1006.

Further, the second conveying and conveying mechanism 120 further includes a support roller 1009 provided between the seventh conveying and rotating roller 1007 and the fourth conveying and rotating roller 1004, and the support roller 1009 is located inside the second conveying and conveying belt 121.

More preferably, the distance between the support roller 1009 and the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004 is smaller than the distance between the support roller 1009 and the seventh conveying rotating roller 1007.

In this embodiment, the length of the portion of the second conveying mechanism 120 extending between the first conveying surface and the second conveying surface is longer, that is, the conveying length of the fifth conveying surface is longer. The second conveying belts 121 at the two ends of the fifth conveying surface are respectively wound on the lower side of the second conveying rotating roller 1002 and the upper side of the fourth conveying rotating roller 1004, and the parts between the second conveying belts and the fourth conveying rotating roller are not supported, so that the clothes are easily greatly deformed in the process of passing through, and the squeezing effect on the clothes is further weakened. A certain position in the middle of the fifth conveying surface is supported by the supporting roller 1009, the fifth conveying surface is divided into two sections with shorter length, and the deformation amplitude of the second conveying conveyor belt 121 can be reduced.

Because the clothes can turn at the output end of the extrusion conveying channel A, the flatness is easily influenced, and the requirement on the width of the output end of the extrusion conveying channel is stricter.
