The present disclosure relates to a garment folding machine including a housing, a loading unit into which a garment is loaded, and a folding unit configured to transfer and fold the loaded garment, in which the folding unit includes a first conveyor configured to transfer the garment from an upper side toward a lower side based on a gravitational direction, a second conveyor disposed below the first conveyor and having a rear end changeable in height, and a folding plate disposed rearward of the second conveyor and configured to fold the garment while rotating, thereby folding the garment with a small number of conveyor belts by changing rotation directions of the conveyor belts during the process of transferring the garment.

Clothes folding machine

A clothes folding device includes a loading assembly which pushes in the clothes and seats the clothes on a loading conveyor for transportation, a folding assembly which transports the clothes forward or backward and performs the folding of the clothes, an unloading assembly which is provided below the folding assembly and loads the clothes discharged from the folding assembly. The unloading assembly includes an upper unloading layer where the clothes finally folded by the folding assembly is primarily dropped and seated and which includes an unloading conveyor, a rotation drive unit that rotates the unloading conveyor, an upper front-rear drive unit which moves the upper unloading layer in a forward and backward direction, a lower unloading layer where the clothes seated on the upper unloading layer are secondarily dropped and seated, and an up and down drive unit which moves the lower unloading layer in an up or down direction.

Clothes folding device

The present disclosure relates to a clothes folding device including: a loading assembly which causes the clothes to be pushed-in and seats the clothes on a first folding layer equipped with a conveyor for transport; a folding assembly which performs the folding of the clothes while the pushed-in clothes are transported; and an unloading assembly which is disposed below the folding assembly and loads the clothes discharged by the folding assembly. The loading assembly includes: a seating plate which forms an inclined surface at an inlet and allows the clothes to be seated thereon; a clamp assembly which fixes the clothes and moves the clothes to the first folding layer; and a transport roller which presses the clothes seated on the first folding layer and rotates together with the moving of the clothes while pressing the clothes, and thus, preventing the clothes from being separated. The clamp assembly includes a wheel assembly and a clamp plate which presses inserted clothes from both sides. The wheel assembly includes a unidirectional rotating wheel which rotates together with the inserted clothes.

The present disclosure relates to a cleaner including a cleaner main body having a controller, a wheel cover mounted on the cleaner main body, a driving module coupled to the wheel cover to be movable up and down, a driving wheel coupled to the driving module and configured to be rotatable by receiving driving force from the driving module, a suspension configured to guide the upward and downward movement of the driving module and absorb impacts while the driving module is moved up and down, a link member rotatably installed on the wheel cover, and rotated by being in contact with a protrusion of the driving module when the driving module is moved downward by a preset distance, and a switch pressed in response to the rotation of the link member to transfer a signal to the controller.

Cleaner

A vacuum cleaner includes a cleaner body; a suction unit connected with the cleaner body, sucking dust and air, guiding the sucked dust and air to the cleaner body, and having a handle; a moving unit including a wheel and a motor for driving the wheel to automatically move the cleaner body; and a clutch unit connecting the motor and the wheel or releasing the connection of the motor and the wheel according to an operational state of the cleaner body. The clutch unit includes a sun gear connected with the motor, a ring gear connected with the wheel, a plurality of fixed planetary gears disposed to be spaced apart each other between the sun gear and the ring gear, and a moving planetary gear which may transmit a rotational force transmitted to the sun gear to one gear of the plurality of fixed planetary gears.

Vacuum cleaner

A robot cleaner comprising: a first housing including a controller and a driving wheel of which driving is controlled by the controller; a second housing provided at one side of the first housing, the second housing having a brush module or mop module mounted thereto; a front bumper provided at a front portion of the second housing, the front bumper configured to be movable to the inside of the second housing when the front bumper is in contact with an obstacle; at least one sensing means provided at the inside of the front bumper to sense a movement of the front bumper to the inside of the second housing; side bumpers respectively provided at left and right side portions of the second housing, the side bumpers each being configured to movable to the inside of the second housing when the side bumper is in contact with an obstacle; and a link member provided at the inside of the side bumper to allow the side bumper and the front bumper to interlock with each other such that, when the side bumper is moved to the inside of the second housing, at least one portion of the front bumper is moved together with the side bumper to the inside of the second housing.

Autonomous cleaner

The present disclosure relates to a cleaner including a cleaner main body having a controller, a wheel cover mounted on the cleaner main body, a driving module coupled to the wheel cover to be movable up and down, a driving wheel coupled to the driving module and configured to be rotatable by receiving driving force from the driving module, a guide bar coupled to the wheel cover and provided in an up and down direction, the guide bar being inserted through the driving module to guide the upward and downward movement of the driving module, and an elastic member surrounding the guide bar and connected to the wheel cover and the driving module, respectively, to absorb impacts while the driving module is moved up and down.
