Automated self-service baggage handling equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to a baggage handling facility for receiving baggage and conveying it to a downstream collection conveyor, the baggage handling facility comprising a container forming a template for receiving baggage to be conveyed and simultaneously conveying the baggage to be conveyed The size of the container is limited within predetermined limits, the container includes a mobile cart (24) and a conveyor belt (16), the mobile cart (24) supports the receiving plate (14), and the luggage is placed on the receiving plate (14) On, the conveyor belt (16) is perpendicular to the receiving plate and therefore tilts against the conveyor belt, the two sides (18A, 18B) are integrated with the frame of the equipment, the front belt (22) is also fixed on the On the frame, the mobile cart is rotated and lifted by a single motor (26) by means of a tilting motion mechanism (28) to tilt the baggage from an initial substantially vertical placement position towards the collection conveyor to a horizontal transfer position , a closing device (30) is arranged to close said container and thus isolate the luggage during the rotation of the mobile vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of loading and unloading luggage by transport machines in entrance inspection areas or halls; and in particular to an automated self-service luggage loading and unloading equipment in airports. Background technique [0002] Until recently, the transfer of bags from the public (self-service) entry screening area to the reserved area for processing those bags, entry screening and monitoring of bags required staff involvement. However, the constant need to increase efficiency and limit operating costs has opened the way for the development of automated entry checkpoints, enabling this automation while limiting the resources of the staff. But this can't be done without considering some specific safety and security restrictions. In particular, each bag introduced to the platform must be identified and recorded, and its owner must be notified and identified in a timely manner. There must be no possibility of intro...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Luggage is then simply placed on said first horizontal conveyor belt, which creates instability when the first horizontal conveyor belt is set in motion to convey the piece of luggage to the second conveyor belt initially in a vertical position , especially for luggage with wheels, can cause the luggage to tilt towards the first entry door of the facility, thereby blocking the operation of the first entry door

Baggage items are then produced more frequently at the intersection of the ascending slope from a placement height position with satisfactory ergonomics for passengers to the usual height position of the take-away conveyor (which has to receive luggage items) Misplaced behavior that causes malfunctions
