Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an emergency baggage export device, specifically an airport baggage export device. Background Technology

[0002] Airport construction typically considers fully automated sorting systems to achieve high-efficiency sorting capacity. This approach usually employs dual sorting machines for redundancy and backup. However, when core servers, switches, critical PLCs, or other equipment fail, causing the dual-layer sorting machines to malfunction, the baggage handling system will face significant efficiency reduction or even complete paralysis. Baggage handling system failures and delayed baggage are serious issues that negatively impact passenger travel experience and increase airport complaints. In the event of a complete sorting machine failure, stranded baggage is often manually moved to designated locations for secondary sorting. With the current fully manual process, a large number of personnel must be deployed to move stranded baggage to designated departure carousels / temporary storage areas when all sorting machines fail (considering only intermediate transport).

[0003] The fully manual baggage handling system suffers from the following technical problems:

[0004] 1. The workforce is large, the labor intensity is high, and the processing efficiency is low;

[0005] 2. The space conditions do not meet the operational space requirements for emergency personnel;

[0006] 3. This will inevitably affect the normal check-in process for passengers in the front hall, cause passenger delays, and increase complaints. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention provides an emergency baggage export device for airports, addressing the challenges of quickly and efficiently setting up temporary solutions to handle stranded baggage during airport automated baggage sorting system malfunctions, ensuring normal passenger check-in, and maintaining the basic functions of the baggage transport system. Based on the principles of "back-end interception, emergency direct access, and push-based transport," the device combines multiple roller conveyors and support frames to form the emergency baggage export device. It fully utilizes the weight of the baggage, allowing staff to "push" instead of "carry," significantly reducing labor intensity and improving processing efficiency. The lightweight design allows for cross-functional support between emergency baggage export devices. After setting up an emergency export device at one interception point, each main check-in island at that point can handle 200 pieces of baggage per hour. The number of interception points and emergency export devices can be selected based on peak traffic volume. The emergency export device functionally supplements the original baggage transport system, providing maximum operational and maintenance support. When the baggage transport system malfunctions, the airport baggage emergency export device provided by this invention can be built across the conveyors on all main conveyor lines at the front end of the sorting machine to intercept baggage on the main line and quickly import it into the designated sorting turntable / temporary storage area for secondary sorting. It is easy to disassemble and move, simple to use, widely applicable, highly practical, and has high safety performance.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0009] An airport baggage emergency export device includes a roller conveyor and a support frame, wherein the roller conveyor is connected to the support frame; the roller conveyor includes a frame and a flow strip module, wherein the flow strip module is connected to the frame; the flow strip module includes a track and rollers, wherein the rollers are disposed on the track.

[0010] The airport baggage emergency export device according to (1) includes at least two roller conveyors and at least two support frames, wherein the roller conveyors are interconnected and form a height difference.

[0011] According to the airport baggage emergency export device described in (1) or (2), the support frame includes a cross brace and a support leg, wherein the cross brace and the support leg are connected in a socket-type manner.

[0012] According to any one of (1)-(3), the airport baggage emergency export device is provided with a threaded groove on the support leg. When the cross brace is inserted into the support leg and the height is adjusted, the cross brace is fastened by the cooperation of the top screw and the threaded groove. The cross brace is U-shaped, and the support leg is welded together by two T-shaped tubes and a middle cross beam.

[0013] According to any one of (1)-(4) of the airport baggage emergency export device, the roller conveyor is connected to the support frame by a connecting clamp. The connecting clamp is "U" shaped and includes a circular part, a protrusion and a groove. The circular part is fitted onto a roller conveyor so that the roller conveyor can rotate. The protrusion is connected to the support frame and the groove is connected to another roller conveyor.

[0014] According to any one of (1)-(5), the airport baggage emergency export device shall have at least two connecting clamps on a support frame and at least two flow strip modules on a frame.

[0015] According to any one of (1)-(6), an airport baggage emergency export device is provided with a connecting clamp at intervals of 1-2 flow strip modules.

[0016] According to any one of (1)-(7) of the airport baggage emergency export device, the frame is made of lean pipe and elbow joint spliced ​​together.

[0017] According to any one of (1)-(8) of the airport baggage emergency export device, the elbow joint has a pre-drilled bolt hole in the middle, and the lean tube is fixed by bolts after being inserted into the elbow joint.

[0018] According to any one of (1)-(11) of the airport baggage emergency export device, the flow strip module is connected to the frame by a fixing clip.

[0019] According to any one of (1)-(10) of the airport baggage emergency export device, the roller is embedded in the track and partially protrudes from the track.

[0020] According to any one of (1)-(11), the airport baggage emergency export device is installed on the baggage transport system that has malfunctioned.

[0021] The airport baggage emergency export device provided by this invention is lightweight, simple, and can be quickly set up and respond rapidly. It solves the problem of large-scale baggage delays and passenger congestion caused by the inability to quickly export baggage when the baggage transport system in a fully automated sorting mode fails, leading to delays and complaints. It provides maximum emergency support under the most demanding conditions, improving the redundancy and reliability of the main baggage transport system. Simultaneously, by intercepting the flow before the back-end sorting system, it achieves an emergency mode of seamless passenger check-in, normal baggage transfer, and rapid processing in the back-end area. The back-end area uses "pushing" instead of traditional "carrying," significantly reducing the labor intensity of operations. The airport baggage emergency export device provided by this invention uses flexible materials to avoid sharp or right-angled edges at direct contact points. The main frame's lean pipes and combined elbows are all rounded, and the connecting bolts use flat heads, round heads, and concealed top screws to avoid exposed hook points, comprehensively reducing the possibility of injury to employees during operation. Specifically, the airport baggage emergency export device provided by this invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] Using aluminum profiles reduces the weight of the equipment, making it easy to move, assemble, and use quickly. A single person can handle the moving and assembly. The tilt angle and height are adjustable, providing good flexibility and making it suitable for different spaces.

[0023] By adjusting the tilt angle of the equipment and making full use of the weight of the luggage, the adjustable tilt angle between the equipment rooms enables "pushing instead of moving", which greatly reduces labor intensity.

[0024] Back-of-house flow control: By controlling the flow of passengers through the sorting system in the back-of-house area, seamless passenger check-in, normal baggage transfer, and rapid processing in the back hall are achieved.

[0025] The modular design allows for quick assembly and disassembly, and damaged parts can be quickly replaced without affecting use.

[0026] It takes up little space and can be folded and stored in a designated location on site when not in use. When needed, it can be quickly moved to the interception point, unfolded, and set up.

[0027] With a simple and streamlined appearance, a flexible shape, and high safety, it requires no driving power supply and can be stopped at any time. The splicing sections and main slide rails are smooth with no sharp corners or weld burrs, ensuring high safety for equipment operation and the operating surface. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation Example

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, an airport baggage emergency handling device includes a roller conveyor 10 and a support frame 11, wherein the roller conveyor 10 is connected to the support frame 11. The roller conveyor 10 includes a frame and a flow strip module, the flow strip module being connected to the frame; the flow strip module includes a track 3 and rollers 4, the rollers 4 being disposed on the track 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 As shown). The frame is composed of four lean pipes 2 and four elbow joints 1 (as shown). Figure 1 (As shown); the elbow joint 1 has a pre-drilled bolt hole in the middle, and the lean pipe 2 is fixed by bolts after being inserted into the elbow joint 1.

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown in Figure 5, the roller conveyor 10 is connected to the support frame 11 via a connecting clamp 6. The connecting clamp 6 is U-shaped and includes a circular part 61, a protrusion 62, and a groove 63. The circular part 61 is fitted onto one roller conveyor 10, allowing the roller conveyor 10 to rotate. The protrusion 62 is connected to the support frame 11, and the groove 63 is connected to another roller conveyor 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 2At least two connecting clamps 6 are provided on a support frame 11. Preferably, a connecting clamp 6 is provided every 1-2 flow strip modules 4. At least two flow strip modules are provided on a frame. Preferably, one flow strip module is arranged every 110mm on the frame. The flow strip modules are connected to the lean pipe 2 by fixing clips 5. The rollers 4 are embedded in the track 3 and partially protrude from the track 3, so that the luggage can slide on the roller conveyor 10 by the rollers 4. The staff can "push" instead of the traditional "carrying", which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operation and improves the export efficiency. Preferably, the airport baggage emergency export device includes at least two roller conveyors and at least two support frames. The roller conveyors are connected to each other and form a height difference (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown). Multiple roller conveyors 10 and their supporting frames 11 can be connected by connecting clamps 6 to form an airport baggage emergency export device, thereby achieving the technical effect of quickly exporting baggage.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the support frame includes a cross brace 7 and a support leg 8, with the cross brace 7 and the support leg 8 connected by a socket joint. The support leg 8 has a threaded groove; after the cross brace 7 is inserted into the support leg 8 and its height is adjusted, the cross brace 7 is tightened by the engagement of a top screw and the threaded groove. The cross brace 7 is U-shaped, and the support leg 8 is welded from two T-shaped tubes and a central crossbeam. By adjusting the insertion length of the cross brace 7, the height of the support frame 11 can be adjusted, thereby meeting the requirements for adjusting the tilt angle of the upstream and downstream roller conveyor 10.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, in use, the airport baggage emergency export device 13 is installed on the malfunctioning baggage transport system 12. Because the upstream and downstream roller conveyors have an inclined angle, baggage can slide on the roller conveyors, and the staff can "push" instead of "carrying", which greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operation.

[0040] Since each roller conveyor 10 is equipped with a connecting clamp 6 as an expansion interface, multiple roller conveyors 10 can be quickly connected to form a complete airport baggage emergency export device 13.

[0041] When the length of the roller conveyor 10 is greater than 2.5m, reinforcing ribs can be set on the frame of the roller conveyor 10 to increase the support strength, reduce the deflection of the equipment, and avoid long-distance suspension problems.

[0042] The airport baggage emergency exit device has a load-bearing capacity of 50kg / m or greater, meeting the maximum load requirements for standard baggage transportation. At the same time, the use of aluminum profiles reduces the weight to about 10kg / m, making it more convenient for single-person handling and assembly.

[0043] The width of the roller conveyor 10 is uniformly 750mm-880mm (standard baggage width), and the thickness is less than 50mm. This low thickness reduces the difficulty of setting up and operating the airport baggage emergency delivery device in confined spaces, making it suitable for more demanding environments. The application of the flow strip module allows the airport baggage emergency delivery device to maintain a simple and minimalist appearance while fulfilling its functions. The white electroplated layer on the aluminum profile of the roller conveyor 10 facilitates differentiation and identification in low-light, semi-enclosed spaces, reducing human error. The insertable crossbeam 7 is inserted into the support leg 8 during storage, minimizing space occupation.

[0044] The entire body of the airport baggage emergency exit device is designed with flexible materials to avoid sharp or right-angled edges at direct contact points. The lean pipes and elbows are rounded, and the connecting bolts are flat-headed, round-headed, and concealed top screws to prevent exposed hook points, thus comprehensively reducing the possibility of injury to employees during operation.
