The working theory of the folding machine is showed in Fig.2.
The sheet on the paper feeding support plate(7) is pushed by roller(6) to reach neaten
plate(5).Being driven by driving shaft(4)and driven shaft(3), the sheet is sent to upper folding
case(2).And then being driven by first fold driven shaft(1), the driving shaft(4) and the
quadrate shaft(15) together to complete the first folding. The first folded sheet goes through
the outlet pulley(9) via the driving shaft(4) and second fold driven shaft(13) along outlet
plate(10) to be ejected out when there is only the first folding is needed. Or after the first fold,
the folded sheet is sent to the lower folding case (14) by the operation of the driven shaft (1),
the driving shaft (4) and the quadrate shaft (15) together to complete the second fold, then
goes through the driving shaft (4) and driven shaft (3) along the outlet sheet tray (11) to be
ejected, the whole folding process also can be completed successfully.
