Description

Clothes stacker and control method Technical field

The invention belongs to the field of clothes treatment, and particularly relates to a clothes stacker and a control method.

Background technique

In daily home life, it is necessary to fold and store dry clothes or prepared clothes. People usually fold clothes manually in life. Due to the accelerated pace of social development and life, the time for housework is reduced and the clothes are dried well. The random stacking of clothing not only wastes storage space, but also causes damage to clothing. The improvement of living standards also brings an increase in the types of clothing. Users cannot master the folding and storage techniques for different clothing, so that after folding, The clothes are not well protected, and the unevenly folded clothes still need to be ironed before wearing, so it is necessary to provide a small size, high degree of automation and beautiful appearance of the clothes stacker for household use. Many, industrial stackers can only provide a single program to fold a specific type of clothing, and can not bring convenience to home users. Therefore, there is a lack of a more intelligent stacker suitable for folding different types of clothing on the market. machine.

The current stacking machine has the following disadvantages: First, the current design of the stacking machine mainly uses the "stacking board" stacking method. This folding method has some problems. If the folding board is only a solid board, After the clothes folding board folds one side of the clothes back to the initial position, due to a certain adsorption effect between the clothes and the clothes folding board, the clothes will follow the clothes folding board to return to the initial position, which greatly affects the forming effect of the stacked clothes. At the same time, because the clothes have a certain thickness, after folding one end of the folding board, the clothes cannot be fully fitted to the clothes, the clothes cannot be fully flattened, and a good forming effect cannot be obtained. Secondly, in the design of the stacking mechanism, the stacking machine mainly uses the "stacking board" stacking method. After folding the clothes on the folding board, this folding method needs to flip the two middle plates to remove the clothes. After falling on the clothes storage board, after folding and storing multiple pieces, take out the folded clothes together. When the clothes are folded and dropped onto the clothes storage plate, the clothes will be shattered, resulting in a poor final shape of the clothes. Third, due to the different lengths of clothing, if different lengths of clothing are tiled to the same position on the stacking platform and folded according to the same stacking method, the folding effect of the clothing will be poor, the folding of clothing will be irregular, and the degree of uniformity Poor customer experience.
