Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of machinery, and particularly to a luggage conveying chute and a luggage conveying system. Background Art

[0002] The luggage conveying chute is a part of the airport luggage conveying system. After the passengers' luggage is checked in at the check-in counter, it enters the airport luggage transportation system, first passes through security inspection, and then is conveyed to the luggage sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism needs to separate the luggage for different flights for processing. The chute is used to receive the luggage conveyed by the sorting mechanism and convey it to the ground. To save space, the sorting mechanism is arranged about 3 - 4 meters above the ground in the air, and the luggage receiving staff must load the luggage on the ground for transportation. Therefore, the chute is designed in the shape of an inclined slide, so that the luggage falls from a high place under its own gravity to reach the designated luggage claim area, facilitating the staff to load and process. Figure 1 and Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the original technical system. Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Component 1 is the chute, which is divided into 5 sections, namely the receiving section, the accelerating section, the decelerating section, the constant speed section and the extraction section. The material used for each section is 304 stainless steel, and the difference lies in the different angles of inclination between each section and the ground. Component 2 is the luggage moving on the chute. Due to the different angles of inclination, the luggage has different effects when moving in different sections. Component 3 is the tipping tray of the sorting mechanism, which tips when it reaches the designated chute, and the luggage slides from the tray into the chute.

[0003] Main problems of the current system:

[0004] (1) This system can well complete the functions of receiving and transporting luggage. However, due to the variety of luggage packages, there are great differences in material, weight and shape, resulting in different luggage speeds and easy collisions, which may cause luggage damage.

[0005] (2) Due to long-term use, the surface of the chute wears and becomes smoother and smoother, and the sliding speed of the luggage will become faster and faster and more and more uncontrollable.

[0006] (3) Since the entire transportation system is placed in a semi-open space, it is easy to accumulate some moisture on the surface of the chute in humid weather in the south. The moisture will also affect the friction coefficient between the chute and the luggage, resulting in uncontrollable luggage speed. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it according to the description in the specification.

[0035] In the prior art system, when the luggage slides down and switches between different sliding sections, the sudden change in the inclination angle between the various sections of the chute will cause the luggage to fall, thereby damaging the luggage.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 , in an embodiment of the present invention, a luggage conveying chute is provided, and at least part of the chute body of the luggage conveying chute is made of a flexible material. Based on this setting, the flexible part of the chute body can undergo a certain amount of elastic deformation. When the luggage 11 is overturned by the tilting tray 12 of the sorting mechanism and falls onto the chute body 2, due to the weight of the luggage itself, the flexible part of the chute body can undergo a certain amount of deformation. During the descent of the luggage, the inclination angle of the flexible part of the chute body continuously decreases, so the gravitational component of the luggage along the chute direction continuously decreases. With the friction coefficient remaining unchanged, the speed of the luggage gradually decreases, and the deceleration effect of the luggage during the entire sliding process is obvious, and it is not easy for the luggage to collide with each other. Moreover, since the chute body is flexible, there will be no situation where the luggage is damaged due to collision with the luggage. Specifically, the chute body can be divided into several flexible sections and rigid sections arranged at intervals. The flexible sections can be made of flexible materials, and the rigid sections are made of non-deformable rigid materials, and the adjacent flexible sections and rigid sections are connected to each other.

[0037] In some embodiments, the entire chute body 2 of the luggage conveying chute is made of a flexible material. The entire chute body 2 is made of a flexible material and has a certain elastic deformation ability. When the luggage 11 is overturned by the tilting tray 12 of the sorting mechanism and falls onto the chute body 2, due to the weight of the luggage itself, the flexible chute body can undergo a certain amount of deformation. During the descent of the luggage, the inclination angle of the chute body continuously decreases, so the gravitational component of the luggage along the chute direction continuously decreases. With the friction coefficient remaining unchanged, the speed of the luggage gradually decreases. As Figure 3 shown ( Figure 3 the receiving section is not shown in Figures 4 to 6 ), during the process of the luggage sliding down along the chute body, when the luggage slides to point A on the chute body, the chute body deforms under the action of the luggage gravity, so that two inclined planes are respectively formed on both sides of point A of the chute body, and the inclination directions of these two inclined planes are both from the higher end of the height of the chute body to the lower end of the height of the chute body. Then the luggage continues to slide. When it slides to point B, two inclined planes are also respectively formed on both sides of point B of the chute body. Then the luggage continues to slide to point C. During the process of the luggage sliding from point A to point C, the inclination angle between the chute body and the horizontal plane becomes smaller and smaller, that is, the acceleration of the luggage being decelerated becomes larger and larger, and finally the speed is the smallest when approaching the extraction section (the lower end of the height of the chute body). The deceleration effect of the luggage during the entire sliding process is obvious, and it is not easy for the luggage to collide with each other. Moreover, since the chute body is flexible, there will be no situation where the luggage is damaged due to collision with the luggage. It should be noted that

[0038] In some examples, the flexible material includes a silica gel plate, an elastic polyurethane plate or a rubber material. The silica gel plate, the elastic polyurethane plate or the rubber material all have a certain elastic deformation ability, and can undergo elastic deformation under the action of the luggage gravity, thereby avoiding collision with the luggage and preventing luggage damage. Moreover, due to the relatively large friction coefficient, the deceleration effect on the luggage can be improved. In addition, the silica gel plate can still maintain a large friction coefficient when wetted with water, ensuring a good deceleration effect for the luggage. At the same time, the above-mentioned silica gel plate, elastic polyurethane plate and rubber material not only have a certain elastic deformation ability, but also have certain wear resistance and flame retardancy, so that the luggage conveying chute prepared from these materials has good durability. Other materials with certain elastic deformation ability, wear resistance and flame retardancy can also be used as the flexible material.

[0039] In some examples, a flexible metal wire mesh is laminated on the back of the chute body. The flexible metal wire mesh serves as a cushion for the silica gel plate, providing a certain support to the silica gel plate and preventing the chute body from undergoing excessive deformation. The flexible metal wire mesh also has a certain deformation ability to avoid affecting the normal deformation of the chute body. Preferably, a stainless steel wire mesh with a lower mesh count can be selected as the flexible metal wire mesh. The metal wire mesh with a lower mesh count can maintain sufficient deformation ability, and the stainless steel material is easy to use in outdoor environments and can have a long service life.

[0040] In the original technical system, the long-term use of the chute will cause a change in its friction coefficient, and the friction coefficient of the chute is also affected by changes in the external environment (such as temperature, water vapor). These factors often make it impossible to control the sliding speed of the luggage. Based on this, the embodiment of the present invention provides a tension adjusting device for adjusting the chute tension during the process of the luggage sliding along the chute body to control the sliding speed of the luggage.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 9 , the luggage conveying chute further includes a tension adjusting device. One end of the chute body 2 is fixed, and the other end is connected to the tension adjusting device. The tension adjusting device drives the other end of the chute body 2 to move in a direction close to or away from one end of the chute body 2 to change the tension of the chute body 2.

[0042] The position of the other end of the chute body relative to one end of the chute body determines the tension of the chute body. Different tensions mean that the deformation amount that the chute body can generate when luggage of the same weight falls onto the chute will be different. At this time, the angle between the chute body and the ground will also change, that is, the sliding speed of the luggage will change. In short, when the luggage slides down along the chute body, the tension of the chute body determines the sliding speed of the luggage. Therefore, by changing the tension of the chute body, the control of the sliding speed of the luggage can be achieved, and further the purpose of reducing the collision between luggages and effectively reducing luggage retention can be achieved. Specifically, during the process of the luggage sliding down along the chute body, when the tension adjusting device drives the other end of the chute body to move in the direction close to one end of the chute body, the deformation amount that the chute body can undergo becomes larger, and the sliding speed of the luggage will decrease. Correspondingly, when the tension adjusting device drives the other end of the chute body to move in the direction away from one end of the chute body, the deformation amount that the chute body can undergo becomes smaller, and the sliding speed of the luggage will increase. In other words, if there is luggage on the chute body that cannot slide down, the tension adjusting device can drive the other end of the chute body to move in the direction away from one end of the chute body; if the luggage slides down too fast, the tension adjusting device can drive the other end of the chute body to move in the direction close to one end of the chute body.

[0043] The embodiment of the present invention can change the tension of the chute body according to the real-time sliding speed of the luggage and the weight of the luggage, adapt to the influence of various environments on the friction coefficient of the chute body, and then control the sliding speed of the luggage, and finally achieve the purpose of protecting the luggage and not retaining the luggage.

[0044] In some embodiments, the tension adjusting device includes a moving member and an elastic element. The moving member is arranged in a manner that it can move in the direction close to or away from one end of the chute body. One side of the moving member is connected to the other end of the chute body, one end of the elastic element is connected to the other side of the moving member, and the other end of the elastic element is fixedly arranged.

[0045] Specifically, when the luggage slides down to the starting part of the chute main body, under the action of the gravity of the luggage, the chute main body deforms, and the chute main body pulls the moving part to move to the left. The moving part moves to the left from its initial position. As the moving part moves to the left, the elastic element is stretched. When the luggage slides to a certain position in the middle of the chute main body, the elastic element reaches the maximum stretched state. Then, under the action of the gravity of the luggage, the luggage continues to slide along the chute main body to the right, and the center of gravity of the luggage moves to the right. The chute main body continues to deform, and the moving part begins to move to the right under the action of the spring tension, and the stretching amount of the spring gradually decreases. Moreover, during the process of the moving part moving to the right, it also pulls the chute main body to expand relatively, so that the deformation amount that can occur in the part of the chute main body carrying the luggage decreases, which helps the luggage to continue moving to the right. When the luggage slides to the other end of the chute main body (which can also be understood as the extraction section of the chute main body), the moving part returns to the initial position. In some examples, when there is no luggage placed on the chute main body, the elastic element is in a free state. Here, the above left and right movements are relative to Figure 6 and Figure 7 and can be understood as that the moving part moving to the left corresponds to the other end of the chute main body moving in the direction close to one end of the chute main body. Correspondingly, the moving part moving to the right corresponds to the other end of the chute main body moving in the direction away from one end of the chute main body.

[0046] The tension adjustment device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a moving part and an elastic element. The moving distance and moving speed of the moving part are jointly determined by the elastic performance, quantity of the elastic element, and the weight of the luggage. The structure of this tension adjustment device is simple and has strong adaptability. It can generate different moving distances for luggage of different weights, thereby changing the angle of the chute main body relative to the ground, and further generating a suitable deceleration effect on luggage of different weights.

[0047] Specifically, the moving part can be realized by a movable slider 8 installed at the end of the chute main body. A slider 8 that can move left and right is added to the end of the chute main body 2 to connect the chute main body 2, so that the tension of the chute main body can be adjusted. If there is luggage that cannot slide down, the slider moves to the right. If it slides down too fast, the slider moves to the left. By controlling the movement of the slider, the sliding speed of the luggage on the chute main body is affected, effectively reducing the collision between the luggages, and effectively solving the problem of luggage staying on the chute main body. The elastic element can be realized by a spring. The moving distance and moving speed of the slider are jointly determined by the elastic performance of the spring, the number of springs, and the weight of the luggage.

[0048] In some embodiments, one end of the chute body is the end with a higher height, and the other end of the chute body is the end with a lower height. That is, the tension adjusting device is arranged at the end of the chute body with a lower height and is connected to the end with a lower height. The tension adjusting device can be arranged on the ground, which helps to adjust the tension of the chute body.

[0049] In some embodiments, the luggage conveying chute further includes a sliding plate 1, and the sliding plate 1 is connected to one end of the chute body 2. Specifically, the sliding plate 1 serves as the receiving section of the luggage conveying chute and is made of an undeformable plate for carrying the luggage conveyed by the sorting mechanism. After the luggage passes through the sliding plate, it slides onto the elastically deformable flexible chute body.

[0050] In some embodiments, the luggage conveying chute further includes a bracket 6, and the bracket 6 is arranged below the sliding plate 1 to support the sliding plate 1.

[0051] In some embodiments, the tension adjusting device further includes a guide rail 9 arranged near the other end of the chute body, and the moving member is slidably arranged on the guide rail 9. The guide rail 9 can be arranged near the lower end of the chute body in terms of height. The guide rail 9 is used to define the movement path of the moving member. In addition, a limiting structure can be arranged on the guide rail to limit the maximum stroke of the moving member. Here, the maximum stroke of the moving member includes the maximum stroke of the moving member moving in the direction close to one end of the chute body and the maximum stroke of the moving member moving in the direction away from one end of the chute body. The maximum stroke of the moving member moving in the direction close to one end of the chute body can be set such that when the moving member is at the maximum stroke in the direction close to one end of the chute body, for any weight of luggage, during the process of the luggage sliding along the chute body, the chute body provides two inclined planes with the position of the luggage as the boundary, and the inclination directions of these two inclined planes are both from the higher height end of the chute body to the lower height end of the chute body for the luggage to continue sliding towards the lower height end (i.e., the extraction section) of the chute body. The maximum stroke of the moving member moving in the direction away from one end of the chute body can be set such that when the moving member is at the maximum stroke in the direction away from one end of the chute body, the chute body is in a tensioned state, and at this time, the chute body as a whole provides an inclined plane. The limiting structure on the guide rail can be realized by a support bearing that fixes the guide rail to the ground.

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 9 , in a specific embodiment, the luggage conveying chute is composed of a receiving section sliding plate 1, a chute body 2, a fixed platform 3, a non-powered roller 4, a cement platform 5, a bracket 6, a support bearing 7, a slider 8, and a guide rail 9 ( Figures 7 to 9(The spring bracket for fixing the right side of the spring is not shown). The cement platform 5 is placed on the horizontal ground and is used to fix the entire chute support bracket. Above the bracket 6 is the receiving section, which is fixed. The moving member can be realized by a movable slider installed at the end of the chute body. The slider 8 is arranged below the fixed platform 3. The guide rail 9 is arranged parallel to the extending direction of the chute body. The slider 8 is sleeved on the guide rail in a manner that it can slide along the guide rail. The guide rail 9 is fixed to the ground through the support bearing 7. The left side of the fixed platform 3 is connected to the chute body, the right side of the fixed platform 3 is connected to the spring 10, and the right side of the spring is connected to a spring bracket, which can be fixed to the ground. When no luggage is placed on the luggage conveying chute, the fixed platform 3 and the power-free roller 4 are connected to each other, the slider is in the initial position, and the spring is in the free state.

[0053] The luggage delivered by the luggage sorting mechanism falls onto the receiving section, and then the luggage slides down to the flexible chute body. At this time, with the gravity of the luggage acting on the flexible chute body, the flexible chute body deforms, and at the same time the slider also moves accordingly. The luggage accelerates and then decelerates to reach the receiving section, and the luggage slides onto the power-free roller of the extraction section and moves forward slowly, and stops at the bottom, waiting for the staff to handle it in the next step.

[0054] Specifically, when the luggage slides to the starting part of the chute body, under the action of the gravity of the luggage, the chute body deforms, and the chute body pulls the slider to move to the left. The slider moves to the left along the guide rail from its initial position. As the slider moves to the left, the spring is stretched. When the luggage slides to a certain position in the middle of the chute, the spring reaches the maximum stretched state. Then, under the action of the gravity of the luggage, the luggage continues to slide to the right along the chute body, and the center of gravity of the luggage moves to the right. The chute continues to deform, and the slider starts to move to the right under the action of the pulling force of the spring, and the stretching amount of the spring gradually decreases. Moreover, during the process of the slider moving to the right, it also pulls the chute body to expand relatively, so that the deformation that can occur in the part of the chute body carrying the luggage decreases, which helps the luggage continue to move to the right. When the luggage slides to the bottom of the chute body, the slider returns to the initial position again, and at this time the fixed platform and the power-free roller are connected to each other, so that the luggage can directly slide along the fixed platform onto the power-free roller. At this time, the slider is in the initial position, the fixed platform and the power-free roller are connected to each other, and the spring is in the free state.

[0055] In some embodiments, the tension adjusting device includes a moving member and a driving mechanism. The moving member is arranged in a manner that it can move in a direction close to or away from one end of the chute body. One side of the moving member is connected to the other end of the chute body, and the driving mechanism is connected to the moving member to drive the moving member to move in a direction close to or away from one end of the chute body.

[0056] The movement of the moving member can also be achieved by being driven by a driving mechanism. In some examples, the moving member can be realized by a movable slider installed at the end of the chute body. The moving position and speed of the slider are controlled by a motor. The position where the slider moves determines the overall tension of the chute, thereby changing the amount of deformation generated by the chute body. Here, the motor can also be other linear driving mechanisms, such as a cylinder, as long as it can drive the slider to move relative to the horizontal movement direction of the luggage.

[0057] Specifically, the slider is arranged below the fixed platform. The slider is sleeved on the guide rail in a manner that it can slide along the guide rail. The guide rail is fixed to the ground through a support bearing. The slider is connected to the motor through a transmission mechanism and can slide along the guide rail under the drive of the motor.

[0058] When the luggage slides down to the starting part of the chute body, under the action of the gravity of the luggage, the chute body deforms. The motor drives the slider to move from its initial position along the guide rail to the left, so that the amount of deformation that the chute body can undergo increases. When the luggage slides to a certain position in the middle of the chute body, as the luggage continues to slide to the right along the chute body, the center of gravity of the luggage moves to the right, and the chute body continues to deform. The slider can start to move to the right under the drive of the motor. Moreover, during the process of the slider moving to the right, it also pulls the chute body to expand relatively, so that the amount of deformation that the part of the chute body bearing the luggage can undergo decreases, which helps the luggage continue to move to the right. When the luggage slides to the bottom of the chute body, the slider returns to the initial position under the drive of the motor, and at this time, the fixed platform and the unpowered roller are connected to each other, so that the luggage can directly slide along the fixed platform onto the unpowered roller. During the process of the luggage sliding along the chute body, by driving the slider to move through the motor, the amount of deformation that the chute body can undergo under the action of the gravity of the luggage can be changed, thereby adjusting the sliding speed of the luggage.

[0059] In some embodiments, the tension adjusting device further includes a speed detection mechanism. The speed detection mechanism is used to detect the sliding speed of the luggage placed on the chute body, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the moving member to move in a direction close to or away from one end of the chute body according to the sliding speed of the luggage detected by the speed detection mechanism.

[0060] Specifically, the sliding speed of the luggage detected by the speed detection mechanism can be first input into the control device. The control device can preset the corresponding relationship between the sliding speed of the luggage, the moving direction of the moving member, and the amount of movement. The control device determines the moving direction and the amount of movement of the moving member according to the real-time detected sliding speed of the luggage, and the driving mechanism drives the moving member to move according to the control instruction of the control device. Since the moving direction and the amount of movement of the moving member are determined according to the sliding speed of the luggage, it can be ensured that the luggage moves at an appropriate sliding speed, neither too fast nor too slow. In some examples, the moving direction and the amount of movement of the moving member can be adjusted so that the sliding speed of the luggage exactly drops to 0 when it slides to the bottom of the chute main body.

[0061] In addition, a weight sensor can be added to detect the weight of the luggage, and a position sensor can be added to detect the position of the luggage on the chute main body. Then, the control device receives the detection results of the weight sensor and the position sensor, and determines the target position of the slider according to the preset corresponding relationship between the weight of the luggage, the position on the chute main body, and the position of the slider. The control device generates a control instruction according to the judgment result, and the motor can drive the slider to move to the target position according to the control instruction. Thus, the sliding speed of the luggage can be controlled more precisely, the collision between the luggages can be reduced, and the luggage with a larger weight can be prevented from staying on the chute main body.

[0062] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a luggage conveying system, including: the luggage conveying chute described above. The chute main body of the luggage conveying chute is made of a flexible material and has a certain elastic deformation ability. When the luggage passes through the receiving section and falls onto the chute main body, due to the weight of the luggage itself, the flexible chute main body can undergo a certain amount of deformation. During the descent of the luggage, the inclination angle of the chute main body continuously becomes smaller, so the gravity component of the luggage along the chute direction continuously decreases. With the friction coefficient remaining unchanged, the speed of the luggage gradually decreases. When the luggage slides on the flexible chute main body, the inclination angle of the flexible chute main body changes infinitely, and the deceleration effect on the luggage is obvious. The luggage will not fall, and it is not easy for the luggages to collide with each other, thus achieving the purpose of protecting the luggage. At the same time, when the luggage is tipped over from the tipping mechanism, the flexible chute main body can play a role in protecting the luggage and thus avoid damage to the luggage.

[0063] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to only the applications listed in the specification and the embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily achieved. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrated examples here.
