Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of baggage conveying, and more particularly to a separation baggage conveying chute. Background Art

[0002] The baggage chute is part of the airport baggage conveying system. After the passenger's baggage is checked in at the check-in counter, it enters the airport baggage conveying system, first undergoes security inspection, and then is transported to the baggage sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism needs to separate the baggage of different flights for processing, and then receives the baggage conveyed by the sorting mechanism through the chute. In order to save space, the sorting mechanism is arranged in the air about 3-4 meters above the ground, and the baggage receiving staff must load the baggage on the ground for transportation. Therefore, the chute is designed as an inclined slide, so that the baggage falls from a high place under its own gravity to the designated baggage collection area, which is convenient for the staff to load and process. However, the existing chutes have the following problems: 1) Although they can well fulfill the function of receiving and transporting luggage, due to the variety of luggage packages, there are great differences in material, weight and shape, resulting in different luggage speeds, which are prone to collision and damage to the luggage; 2) Since the tray tipping mechanism always transports in a fixed direction, the luggage has a fixed horizontal initial velocity when it falls on the chute. This horizontal velocity causes the luggage to accumulate on one side of the chute, while there is no luggage stacked on the other side, resulting in collision of luggage on the accumulated side, while the other side is vacant, resulting in a waste of resources. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a separated baggage conveying chute, by installing a first speed sensor on the side plate of the original chute, the baggage speed is divided into two categories, namely, high-speed baggage and low-speed baggage, according to the baggage falling test result, and then the high-speed baggage and the low-speed baggage slide down to the two sides of the uniform speed section under the action of a guide mechanism, so as to avoid the baggage from colliding and piling up on one side of the chute.

[0004] In order to achieve these objects and other advantages according to the present invention, there is provided a separate baggage conveying chute, comprising:

[0005] The chute body is arranged obliquely and comprises an acceleration section, a deceleration section and a uniform speed section arranged in sequence from top to bottom;

[0006] a first speed sensor, which is arranged at the end of the acceleration section and located on the side plate of the acceleration section, and is used to detect the speed of the luggage when it passes the end of the acceleration section;

[0007] The guide mechanism is a pair of baffles or a swing rod, and is arranged in the middle of the deceleration section and is spaced a certain distance from the two side plates of the deceleration section; when the guide mechanism is a pair of baffles, the pair of baffles are spaced a certain distance apart, one of the baffles gradually tilts downward from the direction of one side plate of the acceleration section to the direction of the other side plate, and the other baffle gradually tilts downward from the direction of the other side plate of the acceleration section to the direction of one side plate, and the pair of baffles correspond to the high-speed luggage and the low-speed luggage respectively, and when the first speed sensor detects that the luggage is high-speed luggage, the baffle corresponding to the high-speed luggage moves upward to its position under the driving force. When the guide mechanism is a swing rod and the first speed sensor detects that the luggage is high-speed luggage, the swing rod can be driven by power to swing until one end of the swing rod is located in the middle of the deceleration section and the other end is upward and close to one of the two side plates of the acceleration section, otherwise, it is upward and close to the other of the two side plates of the acceleration section.

[0008] Preferably, the separated baggage conveying chute further comprises:

[0009] The second speed sensor is arranged on the side plate of the chute body and is located downstream of the guide mechanism. When the second speed sensor detects that the previous luggage has passed and the first speed sensor has not detected that the next luggage has passed, the swing arm or the pair of baffles does not move. When the first speed sensor detects that the next luggage has passed and the speed of the next luggage is different from that of the previous luggage, the swing arm or the pair of baffles moves accordingly according to the speed of the next luggage. Otherwise, the swing arm or the pair of baffles does not move.

[0010] Preferably, in the separated baggage conveying chute, when the first speed sensor detects that two pieces of baggage have passed within 0.5 seconds, the swing arm or the pair of baffles does not move.

[0011] Preferably, in the separated baggage conveying chute, a pair of baffles are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the deceleration section.

[0012] Preferably, in the separated baggage conveying chute, a high friction coefficient coating and a low friction coefficient coating are laid on the uniform speed section, and the high friction coefficient coating and the low friction coefficient coating are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the uniform speed section. When the baffle corresponding to the high-speed baggage moves upward under the driving force until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section, and the baffle corresponding to the low-speed baggage moves downward under the driving force to below the deceleration section, the high-speed baggage can fall onto the high friction coefficient coating under the action of the baffle corresponding to it. When the baffle corresponding to the low-speed baggage moves upward under the driving force until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section, and the baffle corresponding to the high-speed baggage moves downward under the driving force to below the deceleration section, the low-speed baggage can fall onto the low friction coefficient coating under the action of the baffle corresponding to it.

[0013] Preferably, in the separated baggage conveying chute, a first opening is provided on each of the two side plates of the uniform speed section, a plurality of first rotating shafts are arranged in the first opening at intervals along the extending direction of the uniform speed section, a top and a bottom of each first rotating shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the side plate of the uniform speed section corresponding thereto, a plurality of first rollers are arranged in series on each first rotating shaft, and the first rollers are made of elastic material.

[0014] Preferably, in the separated baggage conveying chute, each of the pair of baffles is provided with a second opening, a plurality of second rotating shafts are arranged in the second openings at intervals along the extending direction of the baffles, the top and the bottom of each second rotating shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding baffle, and a plurality of second rollers are arranged in series on each second rotating shaft, and the second rollers are made of elastic material.

[0015] Preferably, in the separated baggage conveying chute, the chute body comprises a receiving section, an acceleration section, a deceleration section, a constant speed section and a picking section which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom.

[0016] Preferably, in the separated luggage conveying chute, an anti-collision pad is provided on the swing rod.

[0017] Preferably, in the separated baggage conveying chute, the second speed sensor is arranged at the head end of the uniform speed section.

[0018] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The present invention installs a first speed sensor on the side plate of the original chute, and divides the luggage speed into two categories, high-speed luggage and low-speed luggage, according to the luggage falling test result. Then, the high-speed luggage and the low-speed luggage slide to the two sides of the uniform speed section under the action of the guide mechanism, so as to avoid the luggage from colliding and piling up on one side of the chute.

[0020] The present invention lays a high friction coefficient coating and a low friction coefficient coating in the uniform speed section, so that high-speed luggage can slide down to the high friction coefficient coating under the action of the guide mechanism, which can effectively reduce the running speed of high-speed luggage and slow down the collision with the stationary luggage below that has not been picked up in time, thereby damaging the luggage. The low-speed luggage can slide down to the low friction coefficient coating under the action of the guide mechanism, so that the low-speed luggage can also slide down smoothly without being stopped halfway, and the collision force generated by the collision with the stationary luggage below is also very small, which will not cause damage to the luggage. In this way, both sides of the chute are evenly filled with luggage, the chute space is effectively utilized, and more luggage can be temporarily stored.

[0021] The present invention can buffer the luggage that collides with the side plate of the uniform speed section by arranging a plurality of first rotating shafts at intervals on the side plate of the uniform speed section, and can also guide the luggage to slide downward along the first rollers, thereby reducing the friction between the luggage and the side plate.

[0022] The present invention provides an anti-collision pad on the swing rod, and provides a second rotating shaft and a second roller made of elastic material on the baffle, so that the luggage colliding with the swing rod or the baffle can be buffered, and the second roller can also guide the luggage to slide along the second roller, thereby reducing the friction between the luggage and the baffle.

[0028] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0029] It should be noted that, in the description of the present invention, the terms "lateral", "longitudinal", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc. indicating orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a separated baggage conveying chute, comprising:

[0031] The chute body 8 is arranged obliquely and comprises an acceleration section, a deceleration section and a constant speed section arranged in sequence from top to bottom;

[0032] A first speed sensor 2, which is arranged at the end of the acceleration section and located on the side plate of the acceleration section, and is used to detect the speed of the luggage when it passes the end of the acceleration section;

[0033] The guide mechanism is a pair of baffles 12 or a swing rod 4, and is arranged in the middle of the deceleration section and is spaced a certain distance from the two side plates of the deceleration section, so that the luggage 3 can slide downward from the portion between the guide mechanism and the side plates of the chute; when the guide mechanism is a pair of baffles, the pair of baffles are spaced a certain distance apart, one of the baffles in the pair of baffles gradually tilts downward from the direction of one side plate of the acceleration section to the direction of the other side plate, and the other baffle gradually tilts downward from the direction of the other side plate of the acceleration section to the direction of one side plate, and the pair of baffles correspond to high-speed luggage and low-speed luggage respectively. When the first speed sensor 2 detects that the luggage is high-speed luggage, the baffle corresponding to the high-speed luggage moves upward under the driving force until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section (so that the high-speed luggage can slide downward along the extension direction of the corresponding baffle under the action of the corresponding baffle), and the baffle corresponding to the low-speed luggage moves downward under the driving force to the bottom of the deceleration section (so that the baffle corresponding to the low-speed luggage does not hinder the high-speed luggage from moving downward. On the contrary, when the first speed sensor 2 detects that the luggage is low-speed luggage, The baffle corresponding to the low-speed luggage moves upward under the power until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section (so that the low-speed luggage can slide downward along the extension direction of the corresponding baffle under the action of the corresponding baffle), and the baffle corresponding to the high-speed luggage moves downward under the power to the bottom of the deceleration section (so that the baffle corresponding to the high-speed luggage does not hinder the low-speed luggage from moving downward); when the guide mechanism is a swing rod, and the first speed sensor 2 detects that the luggage is high-speed luggage, the swing rod can be driven by the power to swing until one end of it is located in the middle of the deceleration section, and the other end is upward and close to one of the two side plates of the acceleration section, so that the high-speed luggage slides from the other end of the baffle to one end along the extension direction of the baffle, and then slides downward from the part between the swing rod and the other of the two side plates of the acceleration section; conversely, when the first speed sensor 2 detects that the luggage is low-speed luggage, the swing rod swings until the other end of it is upward and close to the other of the two side plates of the acceleration section, so that the low-speed luggage slides from the other end of the baffle to one end along the extension direction of the baffle, and then slides downward from the part between the swing rod and the other of the two side plates of the acceleration section.

[0034] The separated baggage conveying chute provided in the present solution detects the baggage speed through the first speed sensor 2 when in use, and transmits the speed to the controller. The controller divides the baggage speed into two categories, high-speed baggage and low-speed baggage, according to the falling speed of the baggage. Then, the high-speed baggage and the low-speed baggage slide to the two sides of the uniform speed section under the action of the guide mechanism, thereby preventing the baggage from colliding and piling up on one side of the chute.

[0035] In another technical solution, the separated baggage conveying chute further includes:

[0036] The second speed sensor 7 is arranged on the side plate of the chute body 8 and is located downstream of the guide mechanism. When the second speed sensor 7 detects that the previous luggage has passed and the first speed sensor 2 has not detected that the next luggage has passed, the swing arm or the pair of baffles does not move. When the first speed sensor 2 detects that the next luggage has passed and the speed of the next luggage is different from that of the previous luggage, the swing arm or the pair of baffles will move accordingly according to the speed of the next luggage. Otherwise, the swing arm or the pair of baffles will not move. When the previous baggage and the next baggage are both high-speed baggage or low-speed baggage, the guide mechanism maintains the state when the previous baggage passes through; when one of the previous baggage and the next baggage is high-speed baggage and the other is low-speed baggage, the guide mechanism performs corresponding actions according to the speed of the next baggage, that is, when the previous baggage is low-speed baggage and the next baggage is high-speed baggage, the baffle corresponding to the high-speed baggage moves upward under the driving force until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section, and the baffle corresponding to the low-speed baggage moves downward under the driving force to the bottom of the deceleration section, or the swing rod swings until the other end thereof is upward and close to one of the two side plates of the acceleration section; when the previous baggage is high-speed baggage and the next baggage is low-speed baggage, the baffle corresponding to the low-speed baggage moves upward under the driving force until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section, and the baffle corresponding to the high-speed baggage moves downward under the driving force to the bottom of the deceleration section, or the swing rod swings until the other end thereof is upward and close to the other of the two side plates of the acceleration section.

[0037] In another technical solution, in the separated baggage conveying chute, when the first speed sensor 2 detects that two pieces of luggage pass through within 0.5 seconds, the swing arm or the pair of baffles does not move. This means that the previous piece of luggage is very close to the next piece of luggage, and the speeds of the two pieces of luggage are similar, and both are high-speed luggage or low-speed luggage. If the previous piece of luggage is very close to the next piece of luggage, the guide mechanism maintains the state when the previous piece of luggage passes through.

[0038] In another technical solution, in the separated baggage conveying chute, a pair of baffles are symmetrically arranged relative to the axis of the deceleration section.

[0039] In another technical solution, in the separated baggage conveying chute, a high friction coefficient coating 6 and a low friction coefficient coating 5 are laid on the uniform speed section, and the high friction coefficient coating 6 and the low friction coefficient coating 5 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the uniform speed section. When the baffle corresponding to the high-speed baggage moves upward under the driving force until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section, and the baffle corresponding to the low-speed baggage moves downward under the driving force to the bottom of the deceleration section, the high-speed baggage can fall onto the high friction coefficient coating 6 under the action of the corresponding baffle. When the baffle corresponding to the low-speed baggage moves upward under the driving force until a part or all of it is located above the deceleration section, and the baffle corresponding to the high-speed baggage moves downward under the driving force to the bottom of the deceleration section, the low-speed baggage can fall onto the low friction coefficient coating 5 under the action of the corresponding baffle. By laying high friction coefficient coating 6 and low friction coefficient coating 5 in the uniform speed section, high-speed luggage can slide down to the high friction coefficient coating 6 under the action of the guide mechanism, which can effectively reduce the running speed of high-speed luggage and slow down the collision with the stationary luggage below that has not been picked up in time, thereby damaging the luggage. Low-speed luggage can slide down to the low friction coefficient coating 5 under the action of the guide mechanism, so that the low-speed luggage can also slide down smoothly without staying halfway, and the collision force generated by the collision with the stationary luggage below is also very small, which will not cause damage to the luggage. In this way, both sides of the chute are evenly filled with luggage, the chute space is effectively utilized, and more luggage can be temporarily stored.

[0040] In another technical solution, in the separated luggage conveying chute, a first opening is provided on each of the two side panels 9 of the uniform speed section, and a plurality of first rotating shafts 10 are arranged at intervals in the first opening along the extension direction of the uniform speed section, and the top and bottom of each first rotating shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding side panel of the uniform speed section, and a plurality of first rollers 11 are arranged in series on each first rotating shaft, and the first rollers are made of elastic material. By arranging a plurality of first rotating shafts at intervals on the side panels of the uniform speed section, and passing a plurality of first rollers made of elastic material on the first rotating shafts, the luggage that hits the side panels of the uniform speed section can be buffered, and the luggage can also be guided, so that the luggage slides downward along the first rollers, and the friction between the luggage and the side panels is reduced.

[0041] In another technical solution, in the separated luggage conveying chute, a second opening is provided on each of the pair of baffles 12, and a plurality of second rotating shafts 13 are arranged at intervals in the second opening along the extending direction of the baffles, and the top and bottom of each second rotating shaft are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding baffle, and a plurality of second rollers 14 are arranged in series on each second rotating shaft, and the second rollers are made of elastic material. By arranging the second rotating shaft and the second rollers made of elastic material on the baffle, the luggage that hits the baffle can be buffered, and the second rollers can also guide the luggage, so that the luggage slides along the second rollers, reducing the friction between the luggage and the baffle.

[0042] In another technical solution, in the separated baggage conveying chute, the chute body 8 includes a receiving section 801, an acceleration section 802, a deceleration section 803, a constant speed section 804 and an extraction section 805 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. Under the action of the tilting tray 1 of the sorting mechanism, the baggage slides from the tray into the chute, then goes down along the chute, and finally slides to both sides of the extraction section.

[0043] In another technical solution, in the separated luggage conveying chute, an anti-collision pad is sleeved on the swing rod to cushion the luggage colliding with the swing rod.

[0044] In another technical solution, in the separated baggage conveying chute, the second speed sensor 7 is arranged at the head end of the uniform speed section.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed as above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and the implementation modes, and they can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
