[0092] This disclosure includes embodiments of a sealing device and an automated sealing system having the sealing device.

[0093] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic sealing system of this disclosure includes a conveying device 300 and a sealing device.

[0094] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the sealing device of this embodiment is used to fix the electronic lock 110 to the object to be sealed. Since, typically, only suspected luggage deemed suspicious during scanning inspection needs to be bound to the electronic lock, the object to be sealed is often suspected luggage.

[0095] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the electronic lock 110 includes two lock bodies 111 and 112 connected by a strap 113. The two lock bodies 111 and 112 have a locked state in which they cooperate to lock together and an unlocked state in which they are disengaged to separate from each other.

[0096] The sealing device includes a lock magazine 100 and a locking device. The lock magazine 100 is used to receive and output an electronic lock 110. The locking device is configured to receive and separate two lock bodies 111 and 112 in an unlocked state from the lock magazine 100, so that the two lock bodies 111 and 112 are in a locked state after relative movement along a locking trajectory, the locking trajectory forming an arrangement space S for placing at least a portion of the object to be sealed, wherein the locking device includes a locking mechanism 500, the locking mechanism 500 including a lock body conveying mechanism for conveying at least one of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 along the locking trajectory.

[0097] Because the sealing equipment uses a lock magazine device 100 and a locking device, the locking device can receive the electronic lock 110 from the lock magazine device 100 and cause the two lock bodies 111 and 112 of the electronic lock 110 to move relative to each other. After moving around the arrangement space S and the object to be sealed in the arrangement space S along the lock trajectory, the two lock bodies 111 and 112 are locked. This causes the strap 113 connecting the two lock bodies 111 and 112 to move around the object to be sealed, so as to bind the electronic lock 110 to the object to be sealed. This helps to reduce manual operation, increase the speed of baggage sealing, reduce operating costs, and improve security.

[0098] The specific shape of the aforementioned locking trajectory is not limited. For example, it can be a circular locking trajectory, such as a circular trajectory, a polygonal trajectory, an elliptical circular trajectory, etc. As long as the locking trajectory allows the movement trajectories of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 to be combined and circle the arrangement space S once, thereby driving the binding strap 113 to circle the object to be sealed once, so as to fix the binding strap 113 and the two lock bodies 111 and 112 to the object to be sealed.

[0099] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the locking mechanism 500 further includes a locking track 510 arranged along the locking trajectory. The lock body conveying mechanism is configured to drive at least one of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 to move along the locking track 510. By providing the locking track 510, the lock body conveying mechanism can convey lock bodies 111 and / or 112 along the locking track 510, making the conveying path of lock bodies 111 and / or 112 more accurate and stable, facilitating accurate locking of lock bodies 111 and 112, and improving the sealing efficiency of the object being sealed.

[0100] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the lock track 510 includes two track segments; the lock body conveying mechanism includes two lock body conveying parts corresponding to the two track segments respectively, and the two lock body conveying parts are configured to drive two lock bodies 111 and 112 to move on their respective track segments. For example, the two lock bodies 111 and 112 can move in opposite directions relative to each other, such as clockwise and counterclockwise directions respectively.

[0101] Since the two lock bodies 111 and 112 can move simultaneously under the transmission of the two lock body transmission units to drive the binding strap 113 to wrap around the object to be sealed, it is beneficial to improve the sealing efficiency of the object to be sealed.

[0102] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the two track segments of the locking track 510 can be arranged symmetrically, and the two lock body transmission parts can be of the same form, so that the movement of the two lock bodies tends to be synchronized. Thus, the two lock bodies 111 and 112 move synchronously in opposite directions along the locking track at the same time, which can quickly realize the process of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 gradually separating and then gradually approaching each other, further improving the sealing efficiency of the sealed object.

[0103] In embodiments not shown, the lengths of the two track segments can be set differently, and the forms of the two lock body transmission parts can also be different.

[0104] In some embodiments not shown, the locking track 510 may include only one track segment. After receiving the two lock bodies 111 and 112, the locking mechanism 500 fixes one of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 in a fixed state. The lock body conveying mechanism conveys the other lock body along the track segment to move around the object being sealed once and gradually approach the fixed lock body, thereby achieving the purpose of the relative movement of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 causing the binding strap 113 to move around the object being sealed once.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the locking device also includes a split-lock mechanism 200, which is configured to receive from the lock chamber device 100 and separate the two lock bodies 111 and 112 that are in the unlocked state, and then transfer the separated lock bodies 111 and 112 to the winding lock mechanism 500. The split-lock mechanism 200 facilitates a stable transfer of lock bodies between the lock chamber device 100 and the winding lock mechanism 500.

[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking device also includes a locking mechanism 600, which is configured to receive the two lock bodies 111 and 112 in the unlocked state from the locking mechanism 500 and lock the two lock bodies 111 and 112 in the locked state. The locking mechanism 600 facilitates accurate alignment and locking of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 together, thereby improving the success rate of sealing the object.

[0107] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the sealing device also includes a locking device 700, which includes a lock body conveying mechanism configured to receive two lock bodies 111 and 112 in a locked state from the locking device and place the two lock bodies 111 and 112 on the surface of the object to be sealed. The locking device 700 facilitates the accurate placement of the two lock bodies in a locked state on the surface of the object to be sealed, improving the success rate of sealing the object.

[0108] The following combination Figures 1 to 13 The automatic sealing system and sealing device of the present disclosure will be further described. In the following description, baggage 400 (also referred to as suspected baggage 400) will be used as the object to be sealed.

[0109] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic sealing system of this embodiment mainly includes a conveying device 300, a sealing device, and a supporting device 800.

[0110] The conveying device and sealing equipment are mainly installed on the support device 800. The support device 800 includes a support base 810 and a support upright 820 fixedly arranged relative to the support base 810. The support base 810 includes multiple support legs 811, which extend vertically. Figure 1 As shown, multiple support legs 811 are grouped together, with each group of support legs arranged at intervals along a horizontal first direction X, and multiple groups of support legs arranged along a horizontal second direction Y, with the second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X. Figure 1 In the diagram, the third direction Z is the vertical direction.

[0111] If necessary, the support frame may include multiple support beams mounted on the support legs. Each support beam may be connected to the top of two or more support legs to improve the support capacity of the support frame. Of course, the support frame may also include other components, such as reinforcing beams, which may be connected between different support legs or between support legs and support beams to enhance the stability of the support frame.

[0112] The support frame 820 is fixed to the middle of the support base 810, and the top of the support frame 820 is higher than the top of the support base 810. In this embodiment, the support frame 820 includes two vertically extending columns 821 and a vertically arranged support plate 822 connected to the two columns 821. The two columns 821 are arranged at intervals along a first direction X and are located on the outer side of the support base 810, respectively. An opening for luggage 400 to pass through is provided in the middle of the support plate 822.

[0113] The conveyor device 300 is used to transport suspected luggage 400 to be sealed. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the conveying device 300 is mounted on the support base 810 of the support device 800. A conveying channel P is formed above the conveying device 300, and the opening in the middle of the support plate 822 is located on the conveying channel P. When the conveying device 300 conveys luggage 400, the luggage 400 runs along the conveying direction on the conveying channel P. In this embodiment, the conveying direction of the luggage 400 is set along the second direction Y.

[0114] In this embodiment, the conveying device 300 includes a first conveying section 310 and a second conveying section 320 spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveying channel P. A sealing device is disposed at the interval between the first conveying section 310 and the second conveying section 320, the interval being used for the passage of an electronic lock 110. The first conveying section 310 and the second conveying section 320 are, for example, both conveyor belts.

[0115] In embodiments not illustrated, the conveying device can be other forms of conveying, such as a roller conveyor with multiple transfer rollers. When the conveying device is a roller conveyor, the straps of the electronic lock can pass through the gap between two adjacent transfer rollers of the roller conveyor, so it is not necessary to make the conveying device segmented.

[0116] like Figure 1As shown, the sealing equipment mainly includes a locking device 100, a locking device, and a locking device 700. The locking device mainly includes a split locking mechanism 200, a winding locking mechanism 500, and a closing locking mechanism 600. Both the locking device and the locking device 700 are mounted on the support frame 820 of the support device 800. The support frame 820 is arranged in the middle of the support base frame 810 along the conveying direction of the conveying device 300, located at the interval between the first conveying section 310 and the second conveying section 320 of the conveying device 300. The support frame 820 is higher than the conveying surface F of the conveying device 300, and the portion above the conveying surface F forms a portal frame structure.

[0117] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the locking device 100 is installed below the conveying device 300.

[0118] The locking device 100 is used to accommodate and output the electronic lock 110 to the locking device.

[0119] An example of an electronic lock that can be used with an automatic sealing system and its sealing equipment in this disclosure is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown.

[0120] The electronic lock 110 includes two lock bodies and a retractable strap 113 connecting the two lock bodies. The two lock bodies are a first lock body 111 and a second lock body 112.

[0121] The first lock body 111 mainly includes a first lock cylinder 1111, a housing 1112, a pawl 1113, a tightening shaft 1114, and a ratchet 1115 mounted on the tightening shaft 1114. The pawl 1113, the tightening shaft 1114, and the ratchet 1115 constitute a strap mounting structure. The first end of the strap 113 is wrapped around the tightening shaft 1114. When the first lock cylinder 1111 is not locked, the pawl 1113 is in the raised state, the ratchet 1115 can rotate freely, and the strap 113 can extend and retract freely. When the first lock cylinder 1111 is locked, the pawl 1113 falls, and the strap 113 can only tighten and cannot loosen. At this time, the tightening shaft 1114 can be rotated to tighten the strap 113, and the strap 113 will not loosen after the external force is removed. The end of the tightening shaft 1114 has a socket 1114A for driving the tightening shaft 1114 to rotate. This socket 1114A is exposed outside the housing 1112 and is used to engage with a tightening tool. A tightening tool having a locking head that matches the shape of the socket 1114A can operate the tightening shaft 1114 to rotate, thereby tightening the strap 113 after it has been removed from the housing 1112. The tightening tool is, for example, a tightening rod 764, which will be described later, with a locking head that engages with the socket 1114A at its end. One end of the first lock cylinder 1111 is located outside the housing 1112 and is used to engage with a keyhole 1121 on the housing 1122 of the second lock body 112 to lock the first lock body 111 and the second lock body 112.

[0122] like Figure 3 As shown, to enable use with the automatic sealing system and its sealing equipment, the outer casing 1112 is provided with a wheel groove 1112A for engaging with the friction wheel 520 of the locking mechanism 500. Two wheel grooves 1112A are respectively arranged on the two sides of the outer casing 1112 adjacent to the side from which the first lock cylinder 1111 extends. To allow the friction wheel 520 to smoothly enter the wheel groove 1112A, the end of the wheel groove 1112A near the protruding part of the first lock cylinder 1111 has a structure that tapers inward from the outside.

[0123] The outer shell 1112 of the first lock body 111 is also provided with a slot 1112B that cooperates with the hook 740 of the locking device 700. In this embodiment, the two slots 1112B are respectively arranged on the two sides where the wheel groove 1112A is located, and the slots 1112B and the wheel groove 1112A located on the same side are parallel.

[0124] The second lock body 112 mainly includes a second lock cylinder, a housing 1122, and a strap mounting part. The second end of the strap 113 is connected to the strap mounting part. In this embodiment, the strap mounting part includes a mounting structure for fixing the second end of the strap 113, such as a mounting shaft. In this embodiment, the strap extension and retraction function is entirely undertaken by the corresponding structure within the first lock body 111.

[0125] In an embodiment not shown, the structure of the strap mounting portion may be similar to that of the first lock body 111, including a tightening shaft, ratchet, and pawl. In this embodiment, the strap extension / retraction function is jointly performed by the strap mounting portions within the first lock body 111 and the second lock body 112.

[0126] like Figure 3 As shown, a lock hole 1121 is provided on the outer shell 1122 of the second lock body 112. The lock hole 1121 is connected to the second lock cylinder. The lock hole 1121 is used to cooperate with the part of the first lock cylinder 1111 that is exposed on the outer shell 1112, so as to realize the locking of the first lock body 111 and the second lock body 112 and put them in a locked state.

[0127] The electronic lock 110, for example, contains an indoor positioning chip within the lock body 111 and / or 112. This positioning chip is, for example, a UWB (Ultra Wide Band) chip, used to track the real-time location of the sealed suspected luggage 400. The electronic lock 110 also includes a breach sensor and an alarm buzzer. When the sealed suspected luggage 400 is breached, the buzzer sounds an alarm, and information about the breached luggage and the breach location is sent to back-office staff.

[0128] like Figure 3 As shown, to enable use with the automatic sealing system and its sealing equipment, similar to the first lock body 111, the outer shell 1122 of the second lock body 112 is provided with a wheel groove 1122A for engaging with the friction wheel 520 of the locking mechanism 500. Two wheel grooves 1122A are respectively arranged on the two sides of the outer shell 1122 adjacent to the side where the lock hole 1121 is located. To allow the friction wheel 520 to smoothly enter the wheel groove 1122A, the end of the wheel groove 1122A near the lock hole 1121 has a structure that tapers from the outside in.

[0129] The outer shell 1122 of the second lock body 112 is provided with a slot 1122B that cooperates with the hook 740 of the locking device 700. In this embodiment, the two slots 1122B are respectively arranged on the two sides where the wheel groove 1122A is located, and the slots 1122B and the wheel groove 1122A on the same side are parallel.

[0130] like Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment, in order to cooperate with the push rod 222 of the locking mechanism 200, the corners where the adjacent sides of the housings 1112 and 1122 of the two lock bodies 111 and 112 are connected are provided with transition slopes 1112C and 1122C.

[0131] like Figure 2As shown, the lock magazine device 100 mainly includes a lock magazine 160 and an electronic lock output mechanism. The lock magazine 160 is used to accommodate electronic locks 110, including a lock magazine outlet 160A for outputting electronic locks 110. The electronic lock output mechanism is used to transport the electronic locks 110 in the lock magazine 160 from the lock magazine outlet 160A to the locking device. Multiple electronic locks 110 can be stored simultaneously in the lock magazine 160. The electronic locks 110 in the lock magazine 160 are automatically output to the locking device via the electronic lock output mechanism.

[0132] like Figure 2 As shown, the electronic lock output mechanism includes a transfer chamber 170, a push mechanism 120, and a transfer mechanism 130. The transfer chamber 170 includes a transfer chamber inlet 170A communicatively connected to a lock chamber outlet 160A and a transfer chamber outlet 170B for outputting electronic locks 110 to the lock-splitting mechanism 200. The push mechanism 120 is configured to output the electronic locks 110 within the transfer chamber 170 from the transfer chamber outlet 170B. The transfer mechanism 130 is configured to transfer the electronic locks 110 within the lock chamber 160 to the transfer chamber 170 via the lock chamber outlet 160A and the transfer chamber inlet 170A. This configuration allows the electronic locks 110 to be transported to the desired location by appropriately configuring the positions of the lock chamber 160 and the transfer chamber 170, as well as the position and direction of the transfer chamber outlet 170B of the transfer chamber 170.

[0133] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the lock cylinder outlet 160A is located on the bottom surface of the lock cylinder 160. The transfer cylinder inlet 170A of the transfer cylinder 170 is located on the bottom side of the transfer cylinder 170. The transfer mechanism 130 includes a receiving plate 131 disposed at the transfer cylinder inlet 170A and an electric push rod 132 located on the side of the receiving plate 131 away from the transfer cylinder inlet 170A. The lock cylinder outlet 160A can be in a state opposite to the receiving plate 131 so that the receiving plate 131 receives the electronic lock 110 output from the lock cylinder 160. The electric push rod 132 pushes the electronic lock 110 on the receiving plate 131, which can push the electronic lock 110 into the transfer cylinder 170. In order to improve the stability of pushing the electronic lock 110, a push plate 133 can be provided at the pushing end of the electric push rod 132. The electric push rod 132 pushes the push plate 133 to move, and the push plate 133 then pushes the electronic lock 110 to move towards the transfer chamber inlet 170A until it is pushed into the interior of the conveying chamber 170.

[0134] The pushing mechanism 120 is located within the transfer chamber 170 and includes a pushing member that can reciprocate along the internal compartment of the transfer chamber 170 and a driving mechanism that drives the pushing member to reciprocate. In this embodiment, the transfer chamber outlet 170B of the transfer chamber 170 is located at the top of the transfer chamber 170. The pushing member 121 pushes the electronic lock 110 in a vertical direction. After the electronic lock 110 enters the transfer chamber 170, it is located at the top of the pushing member. The pushing member pushes the electronic lock 110 toward the transfer chamber outlet 170B located at the top of the transfer chamber 170 until the electronic lock 110 is pushed out of the lock chamber device 100 from the transfer chamber outlet 170B and pushed to the locking device. The pushing member can be, for example, a pushing plate, and the driving mechanism that drives the pushing member to reciprocate can include, for example, a motor, a hydraulic motor, an electric push rod, or a hydraulic push rod.

[0135] When the drive mechanism is a rotary drive mechanism, the reciprocating motion of the pusher can be achieved by configuring an appropriate transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism includes, but is not limited to, cam push rod mechanism, gear and rack mechanism, etc.

[0136] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the locking device 100 includes a plurality of locking chambers 160, each locking chamber 160 being movable relative to the transfer chamber 170 so that the locking chamber outlet 160A is connected to or disconnected from the transfer chamber inlet 170A.

[0137] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, each lock chamber 160 can be rotatably arranged relative to the transfer chamber 170 so that the lock chamber outlet 160A is connected to or disconnected from the transfer chamber inlet 170A.

[0138] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking device 100 includes a fixed disk 140 and a rotating disk 150 mounted on the fixed disk 140 via a rotating shaft. The fixed disk 140 includes a fixed disk opening for the electronic lock 110 to fall onto a receiving plate 131, which is located below the fixed disk 140 and opposite the fixed disk opening. The rotating disk 150 can be driven, for example, by a rotary motor, and is located above the fixed disk 140. A plurality of locking cylinders 160 are fixed to the rotating disk 150 circumferentially. Rotary disk 150 has a rotating disk opening corresponding to each lock chamber opening 160A, so that multiple lock chambers 160 are arranged circumferentially above the fixed disk 140. Each lock chamber 160 rotates with the rotating disk 150 relative to the fixed disk 140. When a lock chamber 160 rotates to the top of the fixed disk opening, the lock chamber outlet 160A of the lock chamber 160 and the rotating disk opening corresponding to the lock chamber outlet 160A are connected to the fixed disk opening, that is, they are opposite to the receiving plate 131. The electronic lock 110 inside falls under the action of gravity. The position of the bottom electronic lock 110 is exactly opposite to the transfer chamber inlet 170A of the transfer chamber 170, and it can be sent into the transfer chamber 170 by the transfer mechanism 130.

[0139] When there is no electronic lock 110 in the lock chamber 160 opposite to the opening of the fixed plate, the rotating plate 150 can rotate at a certain angle to send the locked lock chamber 160 to the position corresponding to the opening of the fixed plate. By using multiple lock chambers 160 evenly distributed around the circumference and by pushing the lock chambers 160 to rotate, the electronic lock 110 can be continuously delivered to the transfer chamber 170.

[0140] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting plate 140 is supported on the ground by multiple legs. In an embodiment not shown, the mounting plate may also be fixed to the support device 800.

[0141] In some embodiments, each lock chamber 160 may also be arranged in a relatively lateral manner relative to the transfer chamber 170 so that the lock chamber outlet 160A is connected to or disconnected from the transfer chamber inlet 170A.

[0142] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking device also includes a split-lock mechanism 200, which is configured to receive from the lock cylinder device 100 and separate the two lock bodies 111 and 112 in the unlocked state, and then transfer the separated lock bodies 111 and 112 to the winding lock mechanism 500. The split-lock mechanism 200 facilitates a stable transfer of lock bodies between the lock cylinder device 100 and the winding lock mechanism 500.

[0143] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the locking mechanism 200 includes a locking track 210, locking elements, and a locking drive mechanism 240. The locking elements are movably disposed along the locking track 210 and are used to move lock bodies 111 and 112 to move them away from each other. The locking drive mechanism 240 is drivenly connected to the locking elements 220 and 230 and is configured to drive the locking elements to move along the extension direction of the locking track 210. In this embodiment, the locking track 210 is configured to extend along a first direction X.

[0144] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 200 includes two locking elements 220 and 230, which are configured to carry two lock bodies 111 and 112 in opposite directions, respectively. The locking drive mechanism 240 is drivenly connected to the two locking elements 220 and 230 and is configured to drive the two locking elements 220 and 230 in opposite directions.

[0145] When the locking mechanism 200 includes two locking elements 220 and 230, the locking drive mechanism 240 can drive the two locking elements to operate separately through two actuating parts, or it can drive the two locking elements 220 and 230 to operate simultaneously through one actuating part and a transmission mechanism.

[0146] like Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment of this disclosure, the locking drive mechanism 240 includes a locking screw and two locking nuts. The locking screw includes two threaded sections with opposite directions of rotation. The two locking nuts are respectively connected to two locking elements 220 and 230 and respectively engage with the two threaded sections. This arrangement allows the two locking elements 220 and 230 to move synchronously in opposite directions by driving the locking screw with the same actuator, which simplifies the structure and improves working efficiency.

[0147] The structure of the locking element can be configured in various forms. In order for the locking element to cooperate with the lock body to carry the movement of the lock body, the locking element can be a single structure or it can include multiple parts that can move relative to each other.

[0148] like Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment of this disclosure, the locking elements 220 and 230 each include a U-shaped plate 221 and a push rod 222.

[0149] In this embodiment, the two locking elements 220 and 230 have similar structures. The following description uses locking element 220 as an example to illustrate the structure of the locking element. Figure 5 As shown, the U-shaped plate 221 includes two first strip plates 2211 arranged side-by-side and spaced apart along the extension direction of the locking track 210, and a second strip plate 2212 connected between the two first strip plates 2211. One of the two first strip plates 2211 cooperates with the locking track 210, and the other is connected to the locking drive mechanism 240. The spacing between the two first strip plates 2211 is configured to allow the passage of two lock bodies 111 and 112. A push rod 222 is connected to the free end of the first strip plate 2211 of the U-shaped plate 221, and the side of the push rod 222 is used to cooperate with the lock bodies 111 and 112 to carry the lock bodies 111 and 112 to move. The two push rods 222 on the U-shaped plate 221 each have a pushing ramp 222A that is inclined towards the second strip plate 2212 and towards the outer side of the first strip plate 2211.

[0150] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the two push rods 222 of each locking element are adapted to the shape of the corresponding lock body shell. The parts of the first lock cylinder 1111 of the first lock body 111 that protrude from the shell or the corners of the lock hole 1121 of the second lock body 112 are provided with transition slopes 1112C or 1122C. The two push rods 222 of the same U-shaped plate 221 are provided with pushing slopes 222A that are inclined towards the second strip plate and towards the outside of the first strip plate. After the push rod 222 contacts the shell of the corresponding lock body, the transition slope on the shell of the lock body and the pushing slope on the push rod 222 make contact and cooperate. When the locking screw rotates, the two push rods 222 on each U-shaped plate 221 can drive the two lock bodies to move away from each other.

[0151] In the above embodiments, the split-lock mechanism 200 is located between two track segments of the winding lock track 510 of the winding lock mechanism 500. The two split-lock elements 220 and 230 of the split-lock mechanism 200 are initially abutting each other. The pushing mechanism 120 of the lock magazine device 110 pushes the electronic lock 110 upwards. The electronic lock 110 is pushed through the space between the two U-shaped plates 221 to a position cooperating with the push rod 222. Rotating the split-lock screw causes the two lock bodies 111 and 112 to move to both sides, respectively, onto the two track segments of the winding lock track 510. Afterwards, the pushing mechanism 120 can retract. After the two lock bodies 111 and 112 have been transported along their corresponding track segments to the lock body conveying section of the winding lock mechanism 500, the split-lock screw of the split-lock mechanism 200 rotates in the opposite direction, and the two split-lock elements 220 move towards each other to their initial state, ready to receive the next electronic lock. Afterwards, the lock body that enters the locking mechanism 500 is driven by the locking mechanism 500 to continue moving along the locking trajectory.

[0152] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the locking device includes a split locking mechanism 200, but the split locking mechanism is not necessary. In embodiments not shown, the two lock bodies can be directly transported to a position that the lock body conveying mechanism can drive by the pushing mechanism 120.

[0153] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking device also includes a locking mechanism 600, which is configured to receive the two lock bodies 111 and 112 in the unlocked state from the locking mechanism 500 and lock the two lock bodies 111 and 112 in the locked state. The locking mechanism 600 facilitates accurate alignment and locking of the two lock bodies together, thereby improving the success rate of sealing.

[0154] like Figure 6As shown in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 500 is mounted on the support frame 820 of the support device 800. The locking mechanism 500 mainly includes a locking track 510 and a locking drive mechanism. The locking track 510 is arranged along a locking trajectory. In this embodiment, the locking trajectory is a square trajectory with rounded corners.

[0155] The locking track 510 is divided into two track segments, which are symmetrically arranged in the first direction X. A locking mechanism 200 is arranged at the lower interval between the two track segments, and a locking mechanism 600 is arranged at the upper interval. The conveying surface F of the conveying device 300 passes through the space enclosed by the locking track. The lower parts of the locking mechanism 200 and the locking track 510 are both located below the conveying surface F of the conveying device 300. When locking, the strap 113 can move from below the conveying surface F to above the conveying surface F through the gap between the first conveying segment 310 and the second conveying segment 320, thus avoiding the solid parts of the conveying device 300, as the two lock bodies 111 and 112 move.

[0156] In this embodiment, each of the two track segments includes a U-shaped bend 511 and two support plates 512 and 513 located at the two free ends of the U-shaped bend 511. The two support plates 512 and 513 are respectively used to cooperate with the locking mechanism 200 and the locking mechanism 600 to smoothly transfer the lock bodies 111 and 112 between the locking mechanism 200 and the locking mechanism 500, and between the locking mechanism 500 and the locking mechanism 600. The shapes of the two support plates 512 and 513 can be set according to the configuration requirements of the locking mechanism 200 and the locking mechanism 600.

[0157] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the lock body conveying mechanism includes a plurality of friction wheels 520 arranged along a lock track. The friction wheels 520 are configured to frictionally engage with lock bodies 111 and 112 to drive the lock bodies 111 and 112 to move. Setting the lock body conveying mechanism to include a plurality of friction wheels 520 allows for a more flexible setting of the conveying path of the lock bodies 111 and 112, i.e., the lock track, facilitating better adaptation to environmental changes or the selection of shorter conveying paths.

[0158] The operation of multiple friction wheels can be driven entirely by a single actuator, or they can be divided into multiple wheel groups driven by multiple actuators. The actuator and the friction wheels it actuates can be connected via a synchronous belt. Multiple friction wheels can all belong to one lock body conveying unit, or they can belong to two lock body conveying units with opposite conveying directions. For example, in this embodiment, if one lock body conveying unit conveys a corresponding lock body counterclockwise, then the other lock body conveying unit conveys another lock body clockwise. Multiple friction wheels belonging to the same lock body conveying unit can be a single row of friction wheels used in conjunction with a slide rail, with the lock body positioned between the single row of friction wheels and the slide rail during conveying. Multiple friction wheels belonging to the same lock body conveying unit can also be configured as double rows of friction wheels at intervals, with the lock body positioned within the intervals between the double rows of friction wheels during conveying.

[0159] The form of the lock body transmission mechanism is not limited to setting multiple friction wheels. For example, the lock body can be moved by relaying multiple electric or hydraulic push rods that can clamp the lock body, or by using a combination of multiple transmission methods to transmit the lock body.

[0160] In this embodiment, the lock body conveying mechanism has two lock body conveying sections corresponding to the two track segments. The lock body conveying mechanism includes multiple friction wheels 520 mounted on the lock track 510. The multiple friction wheels 520 are divided into two groups corresponding to the two track segments, and each group of friction wheels 520 belongs to one lock body conveying section. Each lock body conveying section also includes one or more actuators. In this embodiment, the multiple friction wheels 520 of each lock body conveying section are arranged in two rows along the second direction Y, i.e., the conveying direction of the luggage 400. The interval between the two rows of friction wheels 520 is used for the passage of the lock body. The two rows of friction wheels 520 are divided into four groups of friction wheels. Each lock body conveying section includes four rotary motors 530, and each rotary motor acts as an actuator to drive one group of friction wheels to rotate. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the axles of the friction wheels in the same group are connected to the corresponding rotary motors via a conveyor belt 540.

[0161] In this embodiment, each friction wheel 520 engages with the wheel groove 1112A of the first lock body 111 or the wheel groove 1122A of the second lock body 112 to drive the lock body 111 or 112 to move. The surfaces of the wheel grooves 1112A and 1122A can be knurled to increase the friction with the friction wheel 520. Setting the lock body transmission mechanism to include multiple friction wheels allows for a more flexible transmission path (i.e., the track around the lock) to better adapt to environmental changes or to select a shorter transmission path.

[0162] like Figure 8As shown in this embodiment, the locking mechanism 600 mainly includes a locking track 610, a locking element, and a locking drive mechanism 620. The locking element is movably disposed along the locking track 610 and is used to carry the lock body 111 or 112 to move so that the two lock bodies 111 and 112 move closer to each other. The locking drive mechanism 620 is drivenly connected to the locking element and is configured to drive the locking element to move along the extension direction of the locking track 610. In this embodiment, the locking track 610 is configured to extend along a first direction X.

[0163] like Figure 8 As shown, the locking mechanism 600 includes two locking elements 630 and 640, which are configured to carry two lock bodies 111 and 112 in opposite directions, respectively. A locking drive mechanism 620 is drivenly connected to the two locking elements 630 and 640 and is configured to drive the two locking elements 630 and 640 in opposite directions.

[0164] When the locking mechanism 600 includes two locking elements, the locking drive mechanism 620 can drive the two locking elements to operate separately through two actuating parts, or it can drive the two locking elements to operate simultaneously through one actuating part and a transmission mechanism.

[0165] like Figure 8 As shown, the locking drive mechanism 620 includes a locking screw and two locking nuts. The locking screw includes two threaded sections with opposite directions of rotation. The two locking nuts are connected to two locking elements 630 and 640 respectively and engage with the two threaded sections respectively. This arrangement allows the two locking elements 630 and 640 to move synchronously in opposite directions by driving the locking screw with the same actuator, which simplifies the structure and improves working efficiency.

[0166] like Figure 8 As shown, locking elements 630 and 640 each include a push plate. The first end of the push plate engages with the locking track 610 and is connected to the locking drive mechanism 620. The side of the push plate is used to engage with the lock bodies 111 and 112 to carry the lock bodies 111 and 112 to move.

[0167] The structure of the locking element can be configured in various forms. In order for the locking element to cooperate with the lock body to carry the lock body to move, the locking element can be a single structure or it can include multiple parts that can move relative to each other.

[0168] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this disclosure, the locking device includes a locking mechanism 600, but the locking mechanism is not necessary. In embodiments not shown, the lock body transmission unit can directly drive the two lock bodies to a mutually locked position to achieve the locking state.

[0169] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figures 9 to 13As shown, the sealing device also includes a locking device 700, which includes a lock body conveying mechanism configured to receive two lock bodies 111 and 112 in a locked state from the locking device and place the two lock bodies 111 and 112 on the surface of the luggage 400. The locking device 700 facilitates the accurate placement of the two lock bodies in a locked state on the surface of the luggage 400, improving the success rate of sealing the object.

[0170] like Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the locking device 700 mainly includes a conveying rod 710, a connecting member 720, and a clamping part.

[0171] The conveyor rod 710 includes a movable end movably disposed from the locking track 510 toward the arrangement space S and from the arrangement space S toward the locking track 510. Figures 9 to 12 In this configuration, the movable end is the lower end of the conveyor rod 710. The connecting member 720 is connected to the movable end via an elastic connecting device. A clamping part is mounted on the connecting member 720 and coupled to the movable end to switch between a clamping state and a released state depending on the relative position of the connecting member 720 and the movable end. In the clamping state, the clamping part is configured to engage with the two locking bodies 111 and 112, which are in a locked state, to clamp the two locking bodies 111 and 112. In the released state, the clamping part disengages from the two locking bodies 111 and 112.

[0172] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the connecting member 720 is, for example, made in the shape of a box.

[0173] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic connecting device includes springs 725 and 726. The connecting member 720 includes a core rod 724 arranged along the moving direction of the conveying rod 710. Both springs 725 and 726 are fitted onto the core rod 724, and both ends of the core rod 724 have limiting structures to prevent the springs 725 and 726 from detaching from the core rod 724. In this embodiment, the core rod 724 is disposed between the top and bottom walls of the box-shaped connecting member 720, thus forming part of the aforementioned limiting structure. The bottom of the conveying rod 710 is hollow and has an end plate 714. The end plate 714 is fitted onto the core rod 724 and slidably connected to it. The two springs 725 and 726 are respectively disposed on both sides of the end plate 714, thereby enabling the connection between the conveying rod 710 and the connecting member 720 through the elastic connecting device. Figure 10 As shown, spring 25 is located below end plate 714 of conveying rod 710, and spring 26 is located above end plate 714.

[0174] When the conveyor rod 710 conveys the lock bodies 111 and 112 to the surface of the luggage 400, the free end of the conveyor rod 710 and the connecting member 720 will move relative to each other along the direction of movement of the conveyor rod 710 due to the reaction force of the lock bodies.

[0175] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying rod 710 includes a drive rod 711 and a drive rod drive mechanism, which is drivenly connected to the drive rod 711 to drive the drive rod 711 to move. The drive rod drive mechanism may include, for example, an electric push rod or a rotary motor drivenly connected to the drive rod 711 via a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism may include, for example, a gear and rack mechanism, a lead screw and nut mechanism, etc. The connecting member 720 includes a first sliding sleeve 722 slidably connected to the drive rod 711.

[0176] By setting up an active rod 711, a first sliding sleeve 722 slidably connected to the active rod 711, and an active rod drive mechanism driven by the active rod, the connecting member and its clamping part can move along the extension direction of the first sliding sleeve 722. This allows the two lock bodies held by the clamping part in a locked state to be moved, which helps to improve the success rate of the clamping part in holding the two lock bodies in a locked state, thereby improving the success rate of baggage sealing.

[0177] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying rod 710 further includes a guide rod 712, which is fixedly connected to the driving rod 711 in parallel at a distance. The connecting member 720 includes a second sliding sleeve 723 that slides in cooperation with the guide rod 712.

[0178] By setting the guide rod 712 and the second sliding sleeve 723, the movement direction of the push rod 710 can be made more accurate and stable, which is conducive to further improving the success rate of the clamping part clamping the two lock bodies in the locked state, and to ensuring that the two lock bodies fall accurately to the corresponding positions of the luggage 400, thereby further improving the success rate of sealing the object being sealed.

[0179] In this embodiment, the hollow structure at the bottom of the push rod 710 is formed by the gap between the bottoms of the active rod 711 and the guide rod 712. To make the relative position between the active rod 711 and the guide rod 712 more stable, a connecting plate 713 connecting the active rod 711 and the guide rod 712 is also provided above the connecting member 720.

[0180] like Figures 9 to 12As shown, in some embodiments, the clamping part includes a hook 740 and a first linkage mechanism 730. The hook 740 is disposed on the connecting member 720 and has a hook position that matches the surface shape of the lock bodies 111 and 112 in the clamping state and a hook release position that disengages from the lock bodies 111 and 112 in the release state. In this embodiment, when in the clamping state, the two hooks 740 engage with the slots 1112B on the first lock body 111 or the slots 1122B on the second lock body 112, respectively.

[0181] A first linkage mechanism 730 is mounted on a connecting member 720. A first end of the first linkage mechanism 730 is configured to couple with a movable end of a conveying rod 710 so that a second end of the first linkage mechanism 730 switches between a pressing position and a pressing-out position depending on the relative position of the conveying rod 710 and the connecting member 720. In the pressing position, the second end of the first linkage mechanism 730 presses against a hook 740 to hold the hook 740 in a hooked position. In the pressing-out position, the second end of the first linkage mechanism 730 is spaced from the hook 740 to release the positional constraint on the hook 740, allowing the hook 740 to be in a hook-out position. In this embodiment, two first linkage mechanisms 730 are correspondingly arranged with two hooks 740.

[0182] In some embodiments, the clamping part further includes a first reset mechanism that applies a force to the hook 740 to tend it into a hook position.

[0183] In some embodiments, the clamping part further includes a second reset mechanism that applies a force to the first linkage mechanism 730 to cause its second end to be in a pressing position.

[0184] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the hook 740 is a plate-shaped member pivotally connected relative to the connecting member 720. The first reset mechanism is, for example, a torsion spring disposed between the hook 740 and the connecting member. In embodiments not shown, the first reset mechanism may also include a tension spring or compression spring connected between the hook 740 and the connecting member 720. The cross-sectional shape of the hook 740 is, for example, L-shaped.

[0185] like Figures 9 to 12As shown, in this embodiment, two clamping parts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting member 720. Each clamping part includes a first linkage mechanism 730 and a corresponding hook 740. The first linkage mechanism 730 includes a first rod 731, a second rod 732, and a third rod 733. The first end of the first rod 731 is the first end of the first linkage mechanism 730. The middle part of the first rod 731 is hinged to the connecting member 720 through a first pin 730A. The second end of the first rod 731 and the first end of the second rod 732 are hinged through a second pin 730B. The second end of the second rod 732 and the first end of the third rod 733 are hinged through a third pin 730C. The middle part of the third rod 733 is hinged to the connecting member 720 through a fourth pin 730D. The second end of the third rod 733 is the second end of the first linkage mechanism 730.

[0186] In this embodiment, the second reset mechanism may include, for example, a torsion spring disposed between the first rod and the connecting member 720, or a torsion spring at the hinge point between the third rod and the connecting member 720. In embodiments not shown, the second reset mechanism may also be configured to include a tension spring or a compression spring connected between the first linkage mechanism 730 and the connecting member 720.

[0187] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the locking device 700 also includes a strap tightening mechanism 760, which is configured to tighten the strap 113 so that the strap 113 is tightly attached to the luggage 400. The strap tightening mechanism 760 is adapted to tighten the strap 113 by engaging with the insertion port 1114A at the end of the tightening shaft 1114 of the electronic lock 110 after the two lock bodies in the locked state are placed on the surface of the luggage 400, thereby tightening the strap 113 so that the strap 113 is tightly attached to the surface of the luggage 400 and the electronic lock 110 is bound to the luggage 400, thus completing the sealing of the object.

[0188] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the strap tightening mechanism 760 includes a rotary motor, an adapter rod 762, a screwing rod 764, and a second linkage mechanism 780. The rotary motor includes a motor output shaft 761. The adapter rod 762 is arranged along the axial direction of the motor output shaft 761, and its first end is fixedly connected to the motor output shaft 761. The screwing rod 764 is slidably connected to the second end of the adapter rod 762 along the axial direction of the motor output shaft 761 and is non-rotatably connected to the second end of the adapter rod 762 along the circumferential direction of the motor output shaft 761.

[0189] The screw rod 764 has a locking head and a screw-in position and a screw-out position. In the screw-in position, the locking head is away from the motor output shaft 761 to engage with the strap locking structure of the electronic lock 110. In the screw-out position, the locking head is close to the motor output shaft 761 to disengage from the strap locking structure of the electronic lock 110. The strap locking structure includes, for example, a tightening shaft 1114.

[0190] The first end of the second linkage mechanism 780 is configured to couple with the movable end of the conveying rod 710 so that the second end of the second linkage mechanism 780 switches between a first working position and a second working position. The second end of the second linkage mechanism 780 is relatively fixed to the screwing rod 764 along the axial direction of the motor output shaft 761 and relatively movable along the circumferential direction of the motor output shaft 761. In the first working position, the locking head is in the screwing position, and in the second working position, the locking head is in the screwing-out position.

[0191] In this embodiment, the strap locking structure includes a tightening shaft 1114 of the first lock body 111. In the tightening position of the screw rod 764, the locking head extends into the insertion port 1114A at the end of the tightening shaft 1114, thereby rotating the screw rod 764 to drive the tightening shaft 1114 to rotate and tighten the strap 113.

[0192] In some embodiments, the second end of the adapter rod 762 is, for example, a square rod, and the screw rod 764 includes a square hole that slides with the square rod. The locking head is, for example, a hexagonal head, and the socket 1114A is, for example, a hexagonal blind hole that matches the shape of the hexagonal head.

[0193] In some embodiments, the clamping portion further includes a third reset device configured to apply a force to the second linkage 780 to tend its second end to its second working position. The third reset device includes, for example, a spring 763 disposed between the adapter rod 762 and the screw rod 764.

[0194] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the second linkage mechanism 780 includes a fourth link 781, a fifth link 782, and a sixth link 783. The first end of the fourth link 781 is the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780. The middle part of the fourth link 781 is hinged to the connecting member 720 via a fifth pin 780A. The second end of the fourth link 781 and the first end of the fifth link 782 are hinged via a sixth pin 780B. The second end of the fifth link 782 and the first end of the sixth link 783 are hinged via a seventh pin 780C. The middle part of the sixth link 783 is hinged to the connecting member 720 via an eighth pin 780D. The second end of the sixth link 783 is the second end of the second linkage mechanism 780.

[0195] like Figure 9 As shown, when the connecting member 720 of the locking device 700 is not subjected to external force, the hook 740 of the locking device 700 is in the hook position, the second end of the first linkage mechanism 730 is in the pressing position, and the second end of the second linkage mechanism 780 is in the second working position. Figure 9 The left and right directions are consistent with the direction of the second direction, Y.

[0196] like Figures 9 to 13As shown, the end plate 714 at the bottom of the conveying rod 710 has a main plate 7141 and a side plate 7142 located on the outer edge of the main plate 7141. The free end of the conveying rod 710 is coupled to the first end of the first linkage mechanism 730 and the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780 through the side plate 7142. In this embodiment, during the upward movement of the conveying rod 710 relative to the connecting member 720, its side plate 7142 can trigger the first end of the first linkage mechanism 730 to move, causing the second end of the first linkage mechanism 730 to switch from the pressing position to the pressing release position, releasing the force on the hook 740. Under the action of the first reset device, the hook 740 switches from the hooking position to the hook release position, releasing the electronic lock 110.

[0197] During the downward movement of the conveyor rod 710 relative to the connecting member 720, its side plate 7142 can trigger the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780 to move, causing the second end of the second linkage mechanism 780 to switch from the second working position to the first working position, thereby driving the screwing rod 764 to move along the axial direction of the motor output shaft 761 toward the electronic lock 110, so that the locking head on the screwing rod 764 engages with the socket 1114A on the first lock body 111, so as to drive the tightening shaft 1114 to rotate and tighten the strap 113.

[0198] After the two lock bodies 111 and 112 of the electronic lock 110 circle the suspected luggage 400 once under the action of the locking device, they move to the bottom of the connecting member 720. The electronic lock 110 is driven by the locking mechanism 600 to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state. During the switching process, the two lock bodies 111 and 112 move along the first direction X and approach each other. The slots 1112B and 1122B on the two lock bodies 111 and 112 respectively engage with the two hooks 740 and hook onto the clamping part of the locking device 700.

[0199] To facilitate the driving of the first linkage mechanism 730 and the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780 by the side plate 7142, the upper and lower parts of the side plate 7142 are respectively provided with inclined surfaces 714A and 714B facing the first end of the first linkage mechanism 730 and the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780. Meanwhile, the first end of the first linkage mechanism 730 and the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780 are spherical in shape.

[0200] After the two lock bodies 111 and 112 are locked, the electric push rod in the conveyor rod 710 of the locking device 700, which is driven by the drive rod 711, actuates. Under the action of the electric push rod, the drive rod 711 and the conveyor rod 710 move downward, causing the connecting member 720 and its connected clamping part to move downward together with the electronic lock 110 until the top of the suspected luggage 400 contacts the bottom of the electronic lock 110. The connecting structure 720, its clamping part, and the electronic lock 110 stop moving downward due to the obstruction of the suspected luggage 400. Then, the conveyor rod 710 continues to move downward, thereby generating relative movement with the connecting structure 720, and pushing the spring 725 located at the lower part of the conveyor rod 710 in the elastic connecting device located in the connecting member 720 to have a certain amount of compression. The conveyor rod 710 stops after compressing the lower spring to a certain length. During the downward movement of the side plate 7142 of the end plate 714 of the conveying rod 710, it contacts and presses down the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780. The movement of the first end is transmitted to the second end through each rod of the second linkage mechanism 780, causing the working position of the second end of the second linkage mechanism 780 to switch from the second working position to the first working position. The locking head on the screwing rod 764 engages with the socket 1114A on the first lock body 111 (see reference). Figure 11 ).

[0201] The rotary motor of the strap tightening mechanism 760 is activated, causing the motor output shaft 761 to rotate. This rotation drives the adapter rod 762, the screwing rod 764, and the tightening shaft 1114 to rotate, thereby further tightening the strap 113. The rotary motor stops after the motor output shaft 761 receives a set torque. At this point, the lock bodies 111 and 112 are secured to the suspected luggage 400.

[0202] The electric push rod drives the active rod 711 to move upward, causing the conveying rod 710 and its bottom end plate 714 to rise. The side plate 7142 disengages from the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780. Under the action of the third reset device, the second end of the second linkage mechanism 780 switches to the second working position, and the locking head disengages from the socket 1114A (see reference). Figure 12 ).

[0203] As the conveyor rod 710 continues to move upward, the spring 725 located at the lower part of the end plate 714 releases its force, while the spring 726 located at the upper part of the end plate 714 is compressed until it reaches its limit position. During the upward movement of the conveyor rod 710 relative to the connecting member 720, the side plate 7142 contacts the first end of the first linkage mechanism 730 and pushes the first end upward, causing the second end of the first linkage mechanism 730 to move outward (away from the connecting member 720), switching to the pressure release position (see reference). Figure 12 Under the action of the first reset mechanism, the hook 740 switches from the hook position to the hook release position (see reference). Figure 12Since the electronic lock 110 is already attached to the suspected luggage 400, as the conveyor rod 710 moves upward, the electronic lock 110 will also exert force on the hook 740, causing the hook 740 to move towards the hook release position.

[0204] The electric push rod continues to drive the conveyor rod 710 and its connecting member 720 upwards. Under the action of springs 725 and 726, the relative positions of the side plate 7142, the first end of the first linkage mechanism 730, and the first end of the second linkage mechanism 780 are restored to their original positions. Figure 9 As shown, the second end of the first linkage mechanism 730 returns to the pressing position under the action of the second reset mechanism. After the locking device 700 and its components return to their default positions, they can receive the next electronic lock 110.

[0205] In some embodiments, the strap of the electronic lock can be configured to automatically tighten. For example, a torsion spring can be provided between the tightening shaft and the housing, and the strap can be automatically tightened by the force of the torsion spring without external force. In this case, the locking device 700 or the strap tightening mechanism 760 of the locking device 700 is not necessary.

[0206] The automatic sealing system of this disclosure includes a sealing device and a conveying device 300. The arrangement space S of the sealing device is located on the conveying channel P of the conveying device 300.

[0207] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying device 300 includes a first conveying section 310 and a second conveying section 320 spaced apart along the conveying direction of the conveying channel P, and a sealing device is disposed at the interval between the first conveying section 310 and the second conveying section 320, the interval being for passage of the electronic lock (110).

[0208] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking track and the locking rail 510 are perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying channel P. In embodiments not shown, as long as automatic sealing of the luggage 400 can be achieved without affecting the passage of the luggage 400, the locking track and the conveying channel P can be set to other angles; for example, the locking track can be parallel to the conveying channel P.

[0209] The automatic sealing system can connect to the back-end monitoring system to automatically identify and monitor suspected baggage 400. After suspected baggage 400 passes through the automatic sealing system on the Baggage Handling System (BHS) branch line, the system automatically locks it (identifies it as under surveillance), and the back-end monitoring system immediately begins monitoring the suspected baggage 400. After the passenger retrieves suspected baggage 400 from the BHS, they cannot open the electronic lock themselves. The electronic lock will only be opened by staff after the passenger has made a personal declaration or been cleared of suspicion.

[0210] The automatic sealing system and sealing device of this disclosure are mainly used to bind an electronic lock with an information identifier to suspected luggage 400. The main process of binding the electronic lock is as follows:

[0211] Lock bodies 111 and 112, which are in the unlocked state, fall from the lock chamber 160 onto the receiving plate 131. The electric push rod 132 pushes the electronic lock 110 to the transfer chamber 170, and sends the lock into the split lock device 200 through the transfer chamber 170.

[0212] When it is detected that the suspected baggage 400 has been conveyed by the conveyor 300 along the conveyor channel P to the entry arrangement space S and has reached the designated position, the conveyor 300 stops and the suspected baggage 400 remains at the designated position.

[0213] The locking device 200 is activated, separating the lock bodies 111 and 112. The strap 113 connecting the two lock bodies 111 and 112 is pulled out as the two lock bodies 111 and 112 separate.

[0214] Lock bodies 111 and 112 respectively enter between the two rows of friction wheels 520 of the locking mechanism 500, and are driven by the friction wheels 520 to move in opposite directions along the locking trajectory. Figure 1 The movement is manifested by the two locking bodies moving to the upper left and upper right respectively, while the strap 113 is pulled out further.

[0215] The locking mechanism 500 feeds lock bodies 111 and 112 into both sides of the locking mechanism 600. At this time, the locking mechanism 600 actuates and feeds lock bodies 111 and 112 into the locking device 700, locking the two lock bodies 111 and 112. At this time, the strap 113 is pulled out to its maximum length and has wrapped around the suspected luggage 400 once, but there is a certain distance between the two lock bodies 111 and 112 and the upper surface of the suspected luggage 400.

[0216] The locking device 700, along with the locked lock bodies 111 and 112, descends to the upper surface of the suspect luggage 400, tightening the strap 113. At this point, the lock bodies 111 and 112, equipped with positioning chips, are bound to the suspect luggage 400. After the locking device 700 rises to a certain height, the conveyor device 300 activates, transporting the suspect luggage 400, secured with the electronic lock 110, to the next stage.

[0217] After a passenger retrieves suspected baggage 400 from BHS and is secured by electronic lock 110, the passenger is unable to open the suspected baggage 400 by themselves. After the passenger makes a personal declaration or is cleared of suspicion, staff will open the electronic lock 110.

[0218] The automatic sealing system of this disclosure has the advantages of the sealing device of this disclosure.

[0219] As described above, the automatic sealing system and sealing device of this disclosure can, through a series of actions such as locking, wrapping, locking, and locking, wrap the lock body 111 and 112 with the strap 113 and positioning chip around the suspected luggage 400 and bind it to the suspected luggage 400, so that the suspected luggage 400 is bound to the electronic lock 110 and can only be opened and separated under specific conditions. Thus, it can automatically lock and seal the suspected luggage 400 according to the scanning inspection results, which helps to reduce manual operation, increase the sealing speed of luggage 400, reduce operating costs, and improve security.

[0220] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and not to limit them; although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this disclosure or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features, all of which should be covered within the scope of the technical solutions claimed in this disclosure.
