FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a garment holder according to embodiments of the present disclosure; FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a retaining clip body according to an embodiment of the present disclosure; fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of a movable clamp body according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, 2, and 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a clothes holder 100 including a fixed clip body 110 and a movable clip body 120. The fixed clip body 110 is formed with a clip opening 111, and a first clip arm 1111 of the clip opening 111 is provided with a clip groove 130. The movable clamp body 120 is rotatably disposed at the second clamping arm 1112 of the clamping opening 111, and the holding end 121 thereof can move along the longitudinal direction of the clamping groove 130 to open and close the clamping opening 111, and the holding end 121 is held in the clamping groove 130 in a state of closing the clamping opening 111.

Alternatively, the clamping opening 111 is formed on a sidewall of the fixed clamp body 110 in the form of a downwardly inclined notch including a first clamping arm 1111 and a second clamping arm 1112 which are oppositely disposed and downwardly inclined, so that the movable clamp body 120 can move along the longitudinal direction of the first clamping arm 1111 to conveniently open and close the clamping opening 111.

Alternatively, the clamping opening 111 includes a first clamping arm 1111 and a second clamping arm 1112 which are oppositely disposed, and a clamping space is formed therebetween. Specifically, the movable clamp body 120 is rotatably disposed at the second clamping arm 1112 of the clamping opening 111. Thus, when the movable clamp body 120 rotates, the catching end 121 thereof can move along the longitudinal direction of the first clamping arm 1111 to open or close the clamping opening 111.

That is, through the rotation of the movable clamp body 120, the relative position between the clamping end 121 of the movable clamp body 120 and the first clamping arm 1111 can be changed, and the opening and closing of the clamping opening 111 can be realized. Under the condition that the clamping end 121 moves along the longitudinal direction of the first clamping arm 1111 to be separated from the first clamping arm 1111, the clamping opening 111 is opened, and the releasing of the clothes can be realized; under the condition that the clamping end 121 is clamped in the first clamping arm 1111 and is matched and locked with the first clamping arm 1111, the clamping opening 111 is closed, and the clamping of the clothes can be realized.

Alternatively, the side of the first clamping arm 1111 facing the second clamping arm 1112 is provided with a clamping groove 130, and the movable clamp body 120 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the clamping groove 130, that is, the movable clamp body 120 is movable in the longitudinal direction of the first clamping arm 1111 to open and close the clamping opening 111.

Further, the clamping end 121 is clamped in the clamping groove 130 in a state that the clamping opening 111 is closed, so that the clamped clothes are located between the clamping end 121 and the clamping groove 130, and the clamping groove 130 has a plurality of side surfaces, so that the contact area and the friction force between the clothes and the fixed clamp body 110 are increased, the clothes are difficult to fall off or slide off, the capability of the movable clamp body 120 for locking and clamping the clothes is improved, the clothes clamp 100 is prevented from loosening during the process of clamping the clothes, and the working efficiency of the clothes clamp 100 is ensured.

Optionally, the clamp opening 111 further includes side arms 1113 connecting the first clamp arm 1111 and the second clamp arm 1112, the first clamp arm 1111 including a first flap and a second flap. Specifically, the first flap is connected between the second flap and the side arm 1113, and the holding groove 130 is disposed on the second flap. Thus, a larger space for accommodating the clothes can be formed between the side arm 1113, the first folded edge and the second clamping arm 1112, and when the clothes are clamped, the clothes can be pushed to the space, and the clamping end 121 is clamped in the clamping groove 130 by the rotation of the movable clamp body 120, so as to improve the clamping effect on the clothes.

Optionally, the surface of the first clamping arm 1111 provided with the clamping groove 130 is arc-transitional connected with the side surface at the opening of the clamping opening 111 to prevent the clothes from being scratched or damaged.

By adopting the clothes clamp holder, the clamping device for the clothes folding machine and the clothes folding machine, the movable clamp body can rotate to open and close the clamping opening along the movement of the guide sliding groove, so that the clamping and releasing of the mechanism to clothes are realized, when the clothes are clamped by the closed clamping opening, the contact area between the clothes and the fixed clamp body is increased by clamping the clothes between the guide sliding groove and the movable clamp body, the locking and clamping capacity of the movable clamp body to the clothes is improved, and further the working efficiency of the clothes folding machine is improved.

In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the retaining groove 130 is wavy, and/or the surface of the retaining end 121 is wavy.

Specifically, in order to further improve the clothes-holding capacity between the movable clamp body 120 and the fixed clamp body 110, the bottom surface of the holding recess 130 may be formed in a wave shape, the surface of the catching end 121 may be formed in a wave shape, or both the bottom surface of the holding recess 130 and the surface of the catching end 121 may be formed in a wave shape.

Alternatively, the bottom surface of the clamping groove 130, and/or the surface of the clamping end 121, may be provided with the same texture or different textures, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit the specific shape of the texture, thereby achieving the purpose of further improving the locking capability between the movable clamp body 120 and the fixed clamp body 110.

Referring to fig. 1 and 4, in some embodiments, the movable clamp body 120 is a sector block, a center angle end of the sector block is pivotally connected to the fixed clamp body 110, and one of the arc corners is used as a clamping end 121.

Specifically, the movable clamp body 120 in a sector block shape has a center angle end and two arc-shaped corners, in the clothes clamp 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the center angle end is pivotally connected to the fixed clamp body 110 as the rotating connection end 122, i.e., pivotally connected to the opening of the second clamping arm 1112, and one of the arc-shaped corners is used as the clamping end 121 to move along the longitudinal direction of the clamping groove 130 or to be clamped to the clamping groove 130. Meanwhile, the fan-shaped block-shaped movable clamp body 120 has higher rigidity and strength, and is less prone to fracture and longer in service life compared with a rod-shaped movable clamp body.

Alternatively, in a natural state, the movable clamp body 120 swings downward under the action of gravity, and the holding end 121 naturally clings and is held against the side wall of the holding groove 130 near the opening of the holding opening 111 in a state where the holding opening 111 is closed. Thus, the movable clamp 120 always has a downward swinging tendency under the action of gravity, which further facilitates the reliable locking of the clothes. Therefore, under the condition of clamping clothes, the clothes can be reliably clamped, the phenomenon that the clothes are separated is avoided, an additional locking structure can be omitted, and the structure of the clothes clamp 100 is simplified. Meanwhile, the clothes can be conveniently pushed into the clamping opening by a user to clamp the clothes, and the convenience of clothes clamping operation of the user is improved.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of another fixing clip body provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the second clamping arm 1112 has a receiving cavity 140 formed therein, the center angle end is pivotally connected to the receiving cavity 140 through a rotating shaft 200, and the movable clamping body 120 is at least partially moved into the receiving cavity 140 in a state that the clamping end 121 opens the clamping opening 111.

Optionally, the movable clamp body 120 is pivotally connected to the receiving groove 140 formed on the second clamping arm 1112, so that when the movable clamp body 120 rotates, a portion thereof can move into the receiving groove 140 to open the clamping opening 111.

Specifically, the center angle end of the rotating connection end 122 of the movable clamp 120 is pivotally connected to the containing groove 140 through a rotating shaft 200, so as to facilitate the rotation of the movable clamp 120. When the movable clamp body 120 rotates, at least a portion of the movable clamp body can move into the receiving groove 140. Therefore, the clamping end 121 is conveniently separated from the clamping groove 130, the clamping opening 111 is opened, and part of the movable clamp body 120 is hidden in the accommodating groove 140, so that the movable clamp body 120 is protected, and the attractiveness of the clothes clamp 100 is improved.

In some embodiments, the laundry gripper 100 further comprises a driver. The driver is disposed on the fixed clamp body 110 and configured to drive the clamping end 121 to rotate around the rotating shaft 200 so as to move the movable clamp body 120 into or out of the accommodating groove 140.

The driver is not shown in the drawings. Alternatively, the driver may be a driving motor, and an output shaft thereof is connected to the rotating shaft 200 for driving the rotating shaft 200 to rotate. Thus, the movable clamp body 120 can be driven by the driver to rotate around the rotating shaft 200, so that the catching end 121 moves along the longitudinal direction of the catching groove 130 to open and close the catching opening 111.

Optionally, the laundry holder 100 further comprises a laundry sensor disposed at the holding end 121 and a controller electrically connected to the laundry sensor and the driver. Thus, when the clothes sensor detects that clothes approach the clothes clamp, the controller controls the driver to operate to rotate the movable clamp body 120 to open the clamping opening 111, and controls the driver to move reversely after the clothes enter the clamping opening 111 to rotate the movable clamp body 120 reversely to close the clamping opening and lock the clothes.

Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view (cross-sectional line not shown) of another laundry holder provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in connection with FIG. 5, in some embodiments, garment holder 100 further includes a resilient member 400. The elastic member 400 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 200, and elastically connected to the fixed clamp body 110 and the movable clamp body 120, for making the movable clamp body 120 abut against the clamping groove 130 when the clamping end 121 is in a state of closing the clamping opening 111.

Alternatively, the elastic member 400 may be a torsion spring sleeved on the rotating shaft 200. Specifically, both ends of the torsion spring are elastically connected with the fixed clip body 110 and the movable clip body 120. Thus, when the movable clamp body 120 opens the clamping opening 111, the elastic member 400 causes the movable clamp body 120 to move toward the direction of closing the clamping opening 111, thereby achieving the position change of the movable clamp body 120. Alternatively, in the case that the movable clamp body closes the clamping opening 111, the elastic member 400 still has a driving force for driving the catching end 121 to the direction for closing the clamping opening 111, so that the catching end 121 of the movable clamp body 120 abuts against the side wall of the clamping groove 130 close to the clamping opening 111, thereby further improving the clothes locking capability.

As shown in connection with fig. 1, in some embodiments, to improve the stability of the movement of the movable clamp body 120, the clothes holder 100 further includes a guide assembly 500 for defining the rotation track of the movable clamp body 120. The guide assembly 500 includes a guide rail 510 and a stopper shaft 520. The guide rail 510 extends along the rotation direction of the movable clamp body 120 and is formed on the second clamping arm 1112. The limiting shaft 520 is disposed on the movable clamp body 120 and forms a sliding fit with the guiding slide 510.

Optionally, the guide rail 510 is disposed on the second clamping arm 1112 and extends along the rotation direction of the movable clamp 120, and the limiting shaft 520 penetrates through the movable clamp 120 and is movably connected to the guide rail 510. Thus, under the condition that the movable clamp 120 rotates and opens the clamping opening 111, the limiting shaft 520 can drive the movable clamp 120 to move from the first end to the second end of the guide rail 510; under the condition that the movable clamp body 120 rotates and closes the clamping opening 111, the limiting shaft 520 can drive the movable clamp body 120 to move from the second end to the first end of the guiding slide rail 510.

As shown in fig. 1, the first end of the guide rail 510 refers to an end of the guide rail 510 close to the clamping opening 111, and the second end of the guide rail 510 refers to an end of the guide rail 510 far from the clamping opening 111.

Optionally, the guide rail 510 is disposed on a side wall of the receiving groove 140. Therefore, the movable clamp body 120 can be moved into the accommodating groove when rotating, and the moving smoothness of the movable clamp body 120 can be improved.

Optionally, another arc-shaped corner of the movable clamp body 120 may serve as the movable connection end 123, and the limiting shaft is disposed on the movable connection end 123 in a penetrating manner. Thus, the movable connecting end 123 and the holding end 121 rotate around the rotating shaft 200 synchronously, which is more beneficial for the holding end 121 to move stably along the holding groove 130 according to the rotating track of the movable clamp 120.

Optionally, a tooth socket is arranged on the guide slide rail 510, and a rack matched with the tooth socket is arranged on the surface of the limiting shaft 520, so that the guide slide rail 510 and the limiting shaft 520 are meshed and connected, and the stability of the limiting shaft 520 moving along the guide slide rail 510 is improved.

In some embodiments, the guide rail 510 is an arc-shaped rail that curves away from the corner end of the circle center. Thus, the size of the fixed clamp body 110 can be reduced, and the arc-shaped track is convenient to adapt to the track formed by the rotation of the clamping end 121 around the rotating shaft 200, so that the stability and safety of the moving process of the movable clamp body 120 are further improved, and the work efficiency of the clothes clamp 100 is ensured.

In some embodiments, as shown in connection with fig. 11-14, the crimping mechanism includes a platen and a web. Wherein, the pressing plate is a strip-shaped plate; the connecting plates are long-strip-shaped plates, and the two connecting plates are correspondingly arranged at the two ends of the pressing plate; the head end of each connecting plate is connected with the pressure plate, and the tail end of each connecting plate is connected with the rotating assembly; therefore, the rotating assembly can drive the pressing plate to rotate through the connecting plate, so that the pressing plate is inserted into the folding channel to fold the clothes.

Further, the connecting plate may be an elongated plate having a right-angle bend.

Furthermore, the pressing plate and the connecting plate are integrally formed.

Furthermore, the end of the connecting plate is connected with a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft can drive the connecting plate to rotate, and the connecting plate can drive the pressing plate to rotate. Therefore, the pressing plate of each pressing and folding mechanism can rotate through the corresponding rotating shaft.
