The present invention relates to a structure for folding a fabric, and more particularly, to a fabric folding machine structure for receiving and simultaneously folding fabrics woven by a circular knitting machine.

At present, most of the general fabric folding machines used in the industrial field adopt the fabric rolling structure of the circular knitting machine to change or add the fabric folding machine structure for accommodating and folding the fabric, so that the industrial consistency and multifunctional products Achieve the value of. In the technical field of the present invention, three patents relating to the fabric folding mechanism of circular knitting machines are cited as follows.

1. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 00280327, entitled "Fabric Folding Machine", is hereafter referred to as "first prior art".

2. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 00441612, entitled "Improved Fabric Folding Machine Structure", is hereafter referred to as "second prior art".

3. Taiwan Patent Publication No. 00490520 entitled “Large Circular Knit Folding Device Having the Function of Simultaneously Adjusting the Tensile Force of the Woven Fabric by Folding and Winding the Fabric” is referred to hereinafter as “Third Prior Art”.

A summary of the first prior art states that "a fabric folding machine uses a driving rod of a rotating disk of a knitting machine to transfer kinetic energy from a belt to a pressure disk, the transmission shaft of the pressure disk meshes with the gear, and the gear drives the driven shaft. The driven gear of the driven shaft drives the rotating rod for periodic movement In addition to the periodic movement of the rotating rod, the fabric folding board can be regularly moved back and forth by the guidance of the rotating rod. By back and forth movement, the woven fabrics will accumulate and replace the conventional rollers which may wind up the fabric and cause the fabric to loosen by pulling on the edges of the fabrics. ”

A summary of the second prior art discloses the design of an improved fabric folding machine structure, in particular a fabric folding machine which can cause a stepless shift in accordance with the rate of changing the speed of removing the fabric, the fabric folding machine A first barbell gear centered on the base, the stationary base being coupled about a rotational axis to a rotating base for carrying the entire fabric folding machine mechanism, and an output shaft installed on the rotating base engages with the first barbell gear When the body of the textile folding machine is rotated together with the knitting machine, including the driven barbell gear, the driven barbell gear and the first barbell gear move correspondingly, and the sprockets and chains of the output shaft allow the continuously variable input shaft to rotate at a specific speed. Drives the continuously variable input shaft on one side of the rotating base and rotates the sprocket module via a vertical transmission mechanism. And a chain installed in the sprocket module includes a connector having a center hole and moving according to the movement of the chain, and the inner side surfaces of the two side plates of the fabric folding machine include a set of fixed plates. A set of sliding tracks is fixed by screws in a rectangular hole of the fixing plate, and a fabric folding board is installed between two sliding tracks each having at least one pulley slidable within the set of sliding tracks. Sliding boards arranged on the bottom of the board are slidable to the side, a pair of guiding rods arranged on each side of the board and installed in a guiding seat on the bottom of the fabric folding board. Sliding boards, including studded pulleys on both sides of the swivel board, may be In addition, the sliding board is placed on the bottom of the board and inserted into the connection hole of the connector on the chain, so that the entire fabric folding machine drives the rotating base to rotate and the output shaft drives the chain using a continuously variable transmission. The connector includes a connecting strut which drives the sliding board so that the fabric folding board slides back and forth horizontally to neatly stack the fabrics on the fabric folding board. The continuously variable transmission has a characteristic of slowing the rotation speed to zero by driving at the continuously variable speed, and thus the front and rear sliding speeds of the fabric folding board can be changed according to the unload speed of the fabric and the rotation speed of the knitting machine. The present invention can achieve the best effect of accommodating and folding fabrics, thereby meeting the requirements of the patent application. ”

A summary of the third prior art states that "a large circular knit folding device having a function of simultaneously folding and winding the fabric and adjusting the tension of the wound fabric is a first transmission shaft disposed on the transmission of the body, and the second of the transmission. And a chain for engaging the transmission shaft with the first transmission shaft to drive and rotate the cam disk of the transmission, having a link rod disposed on the guiding track of the cam disk and coupled to the device about the rotation shaft, The pre-installed track can be rotated and moved periodically, and the guide of the link rod can be moved regularly back and forth by driving the fabric folding board The cable is wound around two swing arms and pulley on the device box. The above-described structure can achieve the effect of simultaneously controlling the tension of winding the fabrics and the device for winding and folding the fabrics together. " It will be described.

Referring to Figure 1, which is a schematic plan view of a conventional fabric folding machine, the first, second, and third prior art summaries indicate that the main technical measures of the prior art are to indirectly drive and move the transport base 12 '. Using the link mechanism 16 'and the link rod 161', the transport base 12 'can be fabricated using a sliding channel 121' disposed respectively on both sides of the transport base 12 '. It clearly shows that it slides back and forth horizontally on the sliding track 112 'of the side sheet 11' to stack on the transport base 12 'of the fabric folding machine 10'.

Collectively, the foregoing descriptions have the same problems as follows.

1. Since the transport base 12 'of the prior art performs back and forth movement and needs sufficient lower space to install the link mechanism 16' and the link track 112 ', the transport base 12' The location for installation should be high, which will relatively reduce the transport space 30 'for folding the fabrics on the transport base 12'.

2. If it is necessary to widen the transport space 30 'for folding the fabrics on the transport base 12', the side sheet 11 'must be added at the top, the electric rod 111' must be extended, and the fabric The rolling rod 13 'is moved upwards. This change affects the shape of the connecting element (not shown) disposed between the fabric folding machine 10 'and the circular knitting machine, thus requiring a new design that does not affect the cost.

3. Since these prior art slides the transport base 12 'horizontally back and forth on the sliding track 112', the size of the folded fabric should be less than half the length of the sliding track 112 '. In other words, this conventional fabric folding machine 10 'can fold the fabric 40 half the length of the sliding track 112', while the fabric 40 is one times the length of the sliding track 112 '. Can not be folded.
