Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a clothes folding device that includes a loading assembly, a folding assembly, and an unloading assembly. The unloading assembly consists of an upper unloading layer, a rotation drive unit, an upper front-rear drive unit, a lower unloading layer, and an up and down drive unit.
- The loading assembly pushes and seats clothes on a loading conveyor for transportation.
- The folding assembly transports the clothes and performs the folding process.
- The unloading assembly is located below the folding assembly and loads the clothes discharged from the folding assembly.
- The upper unloading layer is where the finally folded clothes are primarily dropped and seated, and it includes an unloading conveyor.
- The rotation drive unit rotates the unloading conveyor.
- The upper front-rear drive unit moves the upper unloading layer forward and backward.
- The lower unloading layer is where the clothes seated on the upper unloading layer are secondarily dropped and seated.
- The up and down drive unit moves the lower unloading layer up or down.

Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a clothes folding device including: 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 comprises: an upper unloading layer where the clothes finally folded by the folding assembly is primarily dropped and seated and which comprises an unloading conveyor; a rotation drive unit which drives such that the unloading conveyor rotates; 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.
