Detailed implementation manner

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] The embodiment of the present invention discloses that the present invention provides a traveling support for an airport luggage carousel with an anti-collision structure, as Figures 1-5 shown, including a traveling support 1, a scale plate support plate 2, a scale plate 3, luggage 4, a frame 5, an electromagnetic drive device 6, a bottom support plate 7, a traveling wheel 8, and a brush 9. Among them, the scale plate support plate 2 is the main body of the traveling support 1. The scale plate support plate 2 is divided into three sections from inside to outside. The first section is the inclined plane section 201, the second section is the transition section 202, and the third section is the bottom section 203. The bottom section 203 is an anti-inclined plane section; a scale plate 3 is installed on the scale plate support plate 2; an electromagnetic drive device 6 is installed at the end of the inclined plane section 201 of the scale plate support plate; the inclined plane section 201 and the bottom section 203 of the scale plate support plate are connected with a bottom support plate 7 below. The bottom support plate is n-shaped, and the traveling wheel 8 is installed in the middle of the n-shaped support plate; a brush 9 is installed at the gap between the frame tail 502 and the end of the scale plate bottom section 303; the frame 5 bears the traveling support 1 through the electromagnetic drive device 6 and the traveling wheel 8.

[0036] To further implement the above technical solution, the included angle between the inclined plane section 201 of the scale plate support plate and the horizontal plane is 25 degrees, so that all the luggage 9 can slide down from the upper end of the inclined plane section 201 of the scale plate support plate.

[0037] To further implement the above technical solution, the transition section 202 of the scale plate support plate can be an arc transition section, so that the luggage 9 can smoothly slide from the inclined plane section 201 of the scale plate support plate to the bottom section 203, avoiding the luggage 9 directly hitting the bottom section 203 of the scale plate support plate.

[0038] To further implement the above technical solution, the included angle between the bottom section 203 of the scale plate support plate and the horizontal plane is 5 degrees, so that the luggage 9 can stop within the bottom section 203 and finally stay within the transition section 202 and the bottom section 203 of the scale plate support plate.

[0039] To further implement the above technical solution, the scale plate 3 corresponding to the scale plate support plate 2 is divided into three sections. Among them, the scale plate shoe surface section 301 is an inclined surface section, the scale plate transition section 302 is an arc transition section, and the scale plate bottom section 303 is an anti-inclined surface section. There is a concave-convex structure 304 at the end of this section of the scale plate, which can prevent individual luggage with large inertia from hitting the rack, and inclined surfaces are provided on both sides of the scale plate. In this embodiment, this inclined surface is called the scale plate inclined surface. As Figure 5 shown, the scale plate inclined surface is used for lapping with the adjacent scale plate, so that there is room for buffering when the two scale plates need to turn during operation, and it can prevent the scale plates on both sides from tilting at the transition section at the turning of the base.

[0040] To further implement the above technical solution, the electromagnetic drive device 6 can be driven by a linear motor. The guide rail is fixed on the rack 5, and the sliding block is fixed under the traveling support 1. The traveling support is driven by the linear motor to rotate annularly along the turntable, completing the transportation of the luggage 9 on the turntable.

[0041] To further implement the above technical solution, a traveling groove 501 is designed at the position where the rack 5 contacts the traveling wheel 8, which has a certain guiding effect on the traveling wheel 8 and prevents the traveling wheel 8 from deviating from the rack.

[0042] To further implement the above technical solution, the bottom support plate 7 and the traveling wheel 8 are installed at the front end of the bottom section 203 of the scale plate support plate, better bearing the impact of the luggage 9 on the transition section 202 and the bottom section 203 of the scale plate support plate.

[0043] To further implement the above technical solution, the brush 9 is installed on the tail 502 of the rack, which can prevent the zippers and straps of the luggage 9 from being caught in the gap between the rack and the end of the scale plate bottom section 303.

[0044] To further implement the above technical solution, the height of the tail 402 of the rack minus the height of the end of the scale plate bottom section 303 ≥ 50 mm, which can prevent the straps and pull rods on the luggage 9 from extending outside the turntable and protect the safety of passengers when waiting to pick up their luggage.

[0045] To further implement the above technical solution, the scale plate bottom section 303 extends to the lower part of the loop structure at the tail end 502 of the rack, preventing gaps from appearing between the scale plates at the turning of the turntable and ensuring the smooth transportation of the luggage on the turntable.

[0046] To further implement the above technical solution, the sum of the lengths of the three conveying surfaces 201, 202, and 203 of the turntable is 1 - 1.5 times the length of the traditional inclined turntable conveying surface, and the height of the turntable is reduced, which can make the field of vision of passengers wider and facilitate finding and picking up their own luggage 9.

[0047] In the present specification, the various embodiments are described in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts among the various embodiments can be referred to each other. For the devices disclosed in the embodiments, since they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the description in the method section.
