Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of luggage conveying, and more particularly to an automatic baggage supply platform for airport luggage conveying. Background Art

[0002] The airport baggage conveyor and baggage delivery counter is a baggage delivery service facility provided for passengers in the airport terminal. Passengers can place their luggage on the conveyor belt here, and airport staff will transport it to the designated flight boarding gate or baggage carousel. The airport baggage conveyor and baggage delivery counter can make it easier for passengers to handle their luggage, reducing the burden and fatigue during the journey.

[0003] In the prior art, a conveyor belt is used for transporting luggage and a luggage carousel is used for receiving luggage. After getting off the train, passengers go to the luggage carousel to find the corresponding luggage. However, this method has the following drawbacks:

[0004] When luggage is introduced from a conveyor belt to a baggage carousel, it is often transported by directly dropping it in or guiding it on a slide. During the dropping process, the luggage is easily damaged by bumps. When it is guided to the baggage carousel via a slide, although a buffer slope is provided on the baggage carousel, the impact force generated by the luggage sliding in can still easily cause damage to the luggage. This is generally not practical. Moreover, when passengers are looking for their luggage, they usually need to check the baggage carousel to see if the luggage is there. If the luggage is not there, they need to continue waiting and searching, which is quite inconvenient. To this end, we have launched an automatic baggage feeding platform for airport baggage conveyors to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention;

[0039] Example 1

[0040] See also Figure 1-6 In the present invention, the automatic baggage supply platform for airport baggage conveying includes a slide 1, an air pump 2 is installed at the bottom of the slide 1, the output end and the input end of the air pump 2 are fixedly connected to a conduit 3, a groove is provided inside the slide 1, a gate valve 21 is installed inside the groove on the slide 1, a fixing box 4 is installed inside the groove, a group of air suction holes 5 are provided on the top of the fixing box 4, a tilting box 6 is installed inside the slide 1, and a flare 10 is provided on the side of the tilting box 6 away from the air pump 2, the top end of the left conduit 3 penetrates into the slide 1 and extends into the tilting box 6, the top end of the right conduit 3 passes through and is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed box 4, an adjusting component 7 is provided on the outside of the tilting box 6, a detection component 8 is provided on the outside of the slide 1, a correction component 20 is provided on the slide 1, and a photoelectric sensor 25 is installed on the slide 1.

[0041] The slide 1 includes an inclined portion and a horizontal portion. The fixing box 4 is disposed on the inclined portion. The flared opening 10 is parallel to the inclined portion.

[0042] A shock-absorbing strip 11 is installed on the slide 1 , and two arc-shaped elastic plates 12 are installed on the inclined portion of the slide 1 .

[0043] The detection component 8 includes a connecting plate 81, a weighing sensor 82 and two distance measuring sensors 83. The connecting plate 81 is arranged at an angle and its left side is fixedly connected to the outer side of the slide 1. The weighing sensor 82 is embedded in the top of the connecting plate 81, and the two distance measuring sensors 83 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the weighing sensor 82 and installed on the connecting plate 81.

[0044] In the present invention, when the luggage is transported along the slide 1 to the luggage carousel, the luggage is pre-transported to the connecting plate 81, and two distance sensors 83 are used to measure the distance of both sides of the luggage to calculate the width of the luggage. The luggage weight is detected by the weighing sensor 82. After the luggage information pre-detection is completed, the luggage will slide downward along the inclined portion of the slide 1, and two arc-shaped elastic plates 12 are used to perform simple damping and deceleration on the luggage, while reducing the deviation of the luggage and the collision with the slide 1. Subsequently, during the sliding process, the air pump 2 is started, and the right-side guide tube 3 will enable the suction hole 5 on the fixed box 4 to have suction, thereby adsorbing the luggage during the sliding process and reducing its sliding speed. At this time, the expansion port 10 on the inclined box 6 will spray gas to the running surface of the luggage box (the side of the luggage box) to further reduce its sliding speed. Under normal circumstances, the existing technical method generally adopts the method of damping the front and back of the luggage box. The speed of the luggage is controlled by suction or squeezing. Since the front and back surfaces of the luggage are in contact with a large area, deformation and excessive squeezing of the internal items are very likely to occur. In this solution, a spraying method is adopted for the luggage's travel surface, directly acting on the side of the luggage. It is known that the sides of general luggage cases are made of a certain supportive structure or material to ensure that the space is not easily deformed. Therefore, acting on a certain supportive structure or material can greatly reduce the damage to the luggage. In addition, the jetting method can be adjusted according to the information obtained from the luggage detection with the adjustment component 7 to improve the deceleration effect. When the luggage is guided from the inclined part to the horizontal part, the shock-absorbing strip 11 is used to further reduce the shock and speed to ensure the buffering effect. When the luggage is about to reach the horizontal part, the photoelectric sensor 25 will detect the information and then close the gate valve 21 in the groove. Then, the correction component 20 is used to correct the conveying condition of the luggage.

[0045] See also Figure 1-3 , wherein: the adjustment component 7 includes a servo motor 71, a screw rod 72 and two folding plates 73. The servo motor 71 is installed on the outside of the tilt box 6. The output shaft of the servo motor 71 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod 72 through a coupling. The end of the screw rod 72 away from the servo motor 71 passes through the two folding plates 73 in sequence. The inside of the folding plate 73 is threadedly connected to the outside of the screw rod 72. The internal threads of the two folding plates 73 are arranged oppositely, and the folding plates 73 are in contact with the outside of the tilt box 6.

[0046] In the present invention, after detecting the luggage information, the servo motor 71 can be started to rotate the screw 72, which then drives the two folding plates 73 to move relative to and away from each other, thereby reducing or increasing the exposed area of ​​the flared opening 10, thereby improving the gas utilization rate according to different luggage information.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Based on the above examples, please refer to Figure 1-4, wherein: a display 9 is installed on the outside of the slide 1; a support frame 13 is installed on the top of the connecting plate 81, and a scanner 14 is hinged on the support frame 13.

[0049] A connecting tube 16 is installed on the outside of the catheter 3, and a fan blade 17 is installed on the support frame 13. The end of the connecting tube 16 away from the catheter 3 is on the support frame 13 and corresponds to the outside of the fan blade 17. A striking rod 18 is installed on the top of the scanner 14, an air supply pipe 22 is installed on the connecting tube 16, and a quantitative valve 23 is installed on the connecting tube 16.

[0050] In the present invention, if the air suction holes 5 are completely covered during the sliding process of the luggage, the connecting pipe 16 can be used to ensure the suction operation of the air pump 2 without affecting the jet buffering of the flare 10, and the quantitative valve 23 is used to stabilize the air intake of the connecting pipe 16. Since the air suction holes 5 are completely covered, the air supply pipe 22 is used to match the air intake to ensure the air intake. During the air suction process of the connecting pipe 16, the fan blades 17 will continue to rotate under the influence of the suction force, thereby repeatedly colliding with the striking rod 18, causing the scanner 14 to repeatedly shake under the support frame 13, thereby improving the scanning range and reducing the scanning blind angle. After scanning the label, the luggage information can be logged out from the display 9, which is convenient for passengers to observe and pick up the luggage in time. When the luggage information is not obtained, blind waiting can also be avoided.

[0051] See also Figure 1-4 , wherein: a counterweight rod 19 is installed on the top of the scanner 14, and an electromagnetic valve 15 is installed on the outside of the left guide tube 3 and the connecting pipe 16.

[0052] In the present invention, the counterweight rod 19 is provided to ensure relative balance and stability of the scanner 14 during movement, and is less likely to cause chaotic shaking. The two solenoid valves 15 are provided to control the opening and closing of the left conduit 3 and the connecting pipe 16 respectively. At the same time, the left solenoid valve 15 can also adjust the exhaust volume according to the luggage information to meet different buffering requirements.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] Based on the above examples, please refer to Figure 1-6 , wherein: the correction component 20 includes two air injection tubes 201, two correction plates 202 and two air bag packages 203, the correction plate 202 is slidably connected to the slide 1, and the outer side of the correction plate 202 is installed with a spring 24 inside the slide 1, and the end of the spring 24 away from the correction plate 202 is installed to the inside of the slide 1, the air bag package 203 is installed between the correction plate 202 and the slide 1, the groove is connected to the air bag package 203 through the air injection tube 201, and a metering valve is installed on the air injection tube 201.

[0055] In the present invention, when the luggage moves to the point where it is about to contact the horizontal part, the photoelectric sensor 25 will detect the data and then quickly activate the gate valve 21 to close the groove. At this time, the gas in the groove will be introduced into the airbag package 203 along the gas injection pipe 201, so that the airbag package 203 expands and drives the correction plate 202 to move. The opening and closing time of the metering valve is controlled according to the pre-detected luggage width information, so that the distance between the two correction plates 202 is sufficient for the luggage to pass through, and the correction effect can be achieved, thereby reducing the occurrence of large deviations of the luggage. After each correction, the gate valve 21 can be opened, and then the spring 24 will drive the correction plate 202 to reset.

[0056] It should be noted that the circuit connection relationships of the devices in this application all belong to simple series and parallel connection circuits. There is no innovation in the circuit connection. Those skilled in the art can implement it relatively easily. It belongs to the existing technology and will not be elaborated on.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or modifications based on the technical solutions and improved concepts of the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
