Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of airport intelligent equipment, in particular to an airport baggage automatic handling system, and more particularly to a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a baggage material transfer mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of next-generation information networks and artificial intelligence, intelligentization and automation gradually innovate people's production and living ways. As an indispensable means of transportation in people's production and life, aircrafts such as airplanes should be positioned as a fast, safe and efficient transportation hub in the future. The complex relationship between people flow, material flow and information flow should be solved to provide a safe, convenient, fast and accurate service environment for passengers. A perfect intelligent system solution is urgently needed to ensure the normal operation of the airport, especially the baggage handling system of the three key operation systems of the airport. Daily, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of pieces of luggage of departing, transferring and arriving passengers need to be handled. The transportation speed of the luggage determines the service quality, experience and satisfaction.

[0003] In the process of implementing the present application concept, the inventors found that in the related art, there are at least the following problems: the shapes of the luggage carried by passengers are different, and the same luggage is placed in various poses on the luggage conveyor belt. For luggage with different shapes and luggage placed in various poses on the luggage conveyor belt, if the gripper of the baggage material transfer mechanism grasps the luggage in the same pose, it is often difficult to grasp, and the luggage often falls off during the grasping and handling process.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a gripper of a baggage material transfer mechanism that can grasp and handle luggage in different poses according to the shape and pose of the luggage. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application aims to solve the technical problem of providing a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a baggage material transfer mechanism, which solves the problem of the baggage material transfer mechanism in the related art grasping different shapes and poses of luggage in the same pose, often causing difficulty in grasping, and the luggage falling off during the grasping and handling process.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the specific embodiment of the present application provides a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism, comprising: a base plate arranged at the end of the luggage material transfer mechanism; a first driving rod having one end rotatably arranged on the base plate, wherein the first driving rod clamps the luggage from front to back when in a retracted state, and clamps the luggage from top to bottom when in an extended state; a 7-shaped member comprising a first part and a second part perpendicular to each other, one end of the first part being rotatably arranged on the base plate, the other end of the first driving rod being rotatably arranged at the other end of the first part, the one end of the first part being away from the second part, and the other end of the first part being close to the second part; and a moving plate arranged on the first part and used to move on the first part so as to clamp or release the luggage in cooperation with the second part, wherein the moving plate clamps the luggage when moving towards the second part, and releases the luggage when moving away from the second part.

[0007] According to the above embodiment of the present application, the luggage material transfer mechanism clamps the luggage in different postures according to the shape of the luggage on the luggage conveyor belt and the placing posture of the luggage, which can at least partially solve the problem that the luggage material transfer mechanism in the related art often has difficulty in grabbing different shapes and postures of the luggage in the same posture, and the luggage falls off during the grabbing and carrying process, and thus can achieve the technical effects that the luggage material transfer mechanism effectively clamps the luggage in different postures according to the shape of the luggage and the placing posture of the luggage, and the luggage is not easy to fall off during the clamping and carrying process.

[0046] Figure 1 A front and rear clamping structure of a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism. Figure 2 A top and bottom clamping structure of a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 A multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism can include a base plate 1, a base plate driving rod 2, a 7-shaped member 3, and a moving plate 4.

[0048] Specifically, the substrate 1 is arranged at the end of the luggage material transfer mechanism. One end of the substrate driving rod 2 is rotatably arranged on the substrate 1, wherein the substrate driving rod 2 is in a retracted state to hold the luggage front and back, and the substrate driving rod 2 is in an extended state to hold the luggage up and down. The 7-shaped member 3 includes a first part 3-1 and a second part 3-2 perpendicular to each other, one end of the first part 3-1 is rotatably arranged on the substrate, the other end of the substrate driving rod 2 is rotatably arranged on the other end of the first part 3-1, and the one end of the first part 3-1 is away from the second part 3-2, and the other end of the first part 3-1 is close to the second part 3-2. The moving plate 4 is arranged on the first part 3-1, and the moving plate 4 is used to move on the first part 3-1 to cooperate with the second part 3-2 to hold or release the luggage, wherein the moving plate 4 moves to the direction close to the second part 3-2 to hold the luggage, and the moving plate 4 moves to the direction away from the second part 3-2 to release the luggage.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, in the process of air passenger transportation, the maximum weight of the luggage is 50 kg, and the maximum size of the luggage is 1000 mm x 800 mm x 600 mm. The actual luggage carried by the passenger includes but is not limited to ordinary pull rod box, child-shaped pull rod box, handbag, backpack, carton, round bag wrapped in plastic film, irregular-shaped luggage (golf club, flat file bag, two handbags tied together with one luggage number), etc. For ordinary pull rod box, carton, backpack, etc., the multidirectional clamping mechanism can hold front and back or up and down. For child-shaped pull rod box, handbag, round bag wrapped in plastic film, flat file bag, two handbags tied together with one luggage number, etc., up and down clamping is more effective, and the luggage is not easy to slip during clamping and transferring. For golf club, baseball club, racket, etc., the length and width of the luggage are seriously unequal, the multidirectional clamping mechanism clamps in the width direction, which is more effective in clamping the luggage, and the luggage is not easy to slip during clamping and transferring.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , the multidirectional clamping mechanism can hold the luggage front and back when the substrate driving rod 2 is in a retracted state. As shown in Figure 2 , the multidirectional clamping mechanism can hold the luggage up and down when the substrate driving rod 2 is in an extended state. The luggage material transfer mechanism can control the multidirectional clamping mechanism to effectively clamp the luggage in different postures according to the shape and posture of the luggage on the luggage conveyor belt, and the luggage is not easy to fall off during clamping and transferring.

[0051] Figure 3A A sponge suction cup structure diagram of a multidirectional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism is provided for a specific embodiment of the present application.

[0052] As shown in Figure 3A , the second part 3-2 and the moving plate 4 are provided with sponge suction cups S near the side of the luggage.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the sponge suction cups S can effectively prevent the luggage from falling off during the clamping and carrying process of the multi-directional clamping mechanism.

[0054] Figure 3B A structural schematic diagram of the moving plate of the multi-directional clamping mechanism of the luggage material transfer mechanism moving towards the second part to clamp the luggage is provided for the specific embodiment of the present application.

[0055] As shown in Figure 3B , the moving plate 4 moves towards the direction close to the second part 3-2 to clamp the luggage. The moving plate 4 moves away from the second part 3-2 to release the luggage.

[0056] Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the first telescopic plate and the second part of the multi-directional clamping mechanism of the luggage material transfer mechanism clamping the luggage is provided for the specific embodiment of the present application.

[0057] As shown in Figure 4 , the length of the second part 3-2 is greater than the length of the moving plate 4. The multi-directional clamping mechanism can further include a first telescopic plate 5 and a first driving rod 6.

[0058] Specifically, the first telescopic plate 5 is arranged on the moving plate 4, and the first telescopic plate 5 is used for telescopic movement in the direction parallel to the moving plate 4, so as to cooperate with the second part 3-2 to clamp the luggage. One end of the first driving rod 6 is arranged on the moving plate 4, and the other end of the first driving rod 6 is arranged on the first telescopic plate 5. The first driving rod 6 is used for driving the first telescopic plate 5 to make telescopic movement on the moving plate 4.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the length of the second part 3-2 is greater than the length of the moving plate 4, and the length of the second part 3-2 is approximately equal to the sum of the length of the moving plate 4 and the length of the first telescopic plate 5. When the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps the luggage from front to back, the moving plate 4 moves towards the second part 3-2 at the same time, and the first telescopic plate 5 extends downwards. Since the second part 3-2 directly moves down to the position close to the luggage conveyor belt, and the first telescopic plate 5 slightly delays to reach the position close to the luggage conveyor belt, the second part 3-2 can block the luggage from being taken away by the luggage conveyor belt, while avoiding the first telescopic plate 5 pressing the upper side of the luggage, so as to finally realize the front and back clamping of the luggage by the first telescopic plate 5 and the second part 3-2.

[0060] Figure 5A structure diagram of a first telescopic plate and a second telescopic plate of a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] As shown in Figure 5 the multi-directional clamping mechanism of the luggage material transfer mechanism can further include a second telescopic plate 7 and a second driving rod 8.

[0062] Specifically, the second telescopic plate 7 is elastically arranged on the second part 3-2, and the second telescopic plate 7 is in elastic contact with the luggage conveyor belt so as to reduce the friction. One end of the second driving rod 8 is arranged on the second part 3-2, and the other end of the second driving rod 8 is arranged on the second telescopic plate 7, and the second driving rod 8 is used to drive the second telescopic plate 7 to perform telescopic movement on the second part 3-2.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, when the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps the luggage, if the thickness of the luggage is small, the first telescopic plate 5 and the second telescopic plate 7 are retracted, and the moving plate 4 and the second part 3-2 cooperate to clamp the luggage; if the thickness of the luggage is large, the first telescopic plate 5 and the second telescopic plate 7 are extended, and the first telescopic plate 5 and the second telescopic plate 7 cooperate to clamp the luggage. The luggage can be effectively clamped according to the different thicknesses of the luggage, and the luggage can be prevented from falling off during the clamping and transfer process.

[0064] Figure 6 A micro wheel structure diagram of a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0065] As shown in Figure 6 the multi-directional clamping mechanism of the luggage material transfer mechanism can further include at least one micro wheel 9.

[0066] Specifically, the at least one micro wheel 9 is arranged on the edge of the second part 3-2 or / and the side away from the luggage, and the micro wheel 9 is used to roll when the second part 3-2 contacts the luggage conveyor belt, so as to reduce the friction.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, one or more micro wheels 9 are arranged on the edge of the second part 3-2, and when the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps the luggage forwardly, rearwardly, leftwardly or rightwardly, the friction between the lower edge of the second part 3-2 and the luggage conveyor belt can be reduced. When the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps the luggage upwardly or downwardly, the friction between the outer side of the second part 3-2 and the luggage conveyor belt can be reduced, and the clamping effect of the multi-directional clamping mechanism can be improved.

[0068] In embodiments of the present invention, one or more micro-wheels 9 may also be provided on the edge of the movable plate 4. When the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps luggage in the front and back or left and right, it can reduce the friction between the second part 3-2 and the lower edge of the movable plate 4 and the luggage conveyor belt, thereby improving the clamping effect of the multi-directional clamping mechanism.

[0069] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an L-shaped claw structure of a multi-directional clamping mechanism for a baggage and material transfer mechanism, provided as a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, the multi-directional clamping mechanism of the baggage and material transfer mechanism may also include: an L-shaped claw 10, a third drive rod 11, and a push rod 12.

[0071] Specifically, one end of the L-shaped claw 10 is rotatably mounted on the first telescopic plate 5. The L-shaped claw 10 is used to rotate inward to support the luggage when the first telescopic plate 5 and the second part 3-2 are clamping the luggage. The L-shaped claw 10 includes a rotating plate 10-1 and a claw 10-2, which are connected in an L-shape. One end of the rotating plate 10-1 is rotatably mounted on the first telescopic plate 5. One end of the third drive rod 11 is rotatably mounted on the first telescopic plate 5. One end of the push rod 12 is rotatably connected to the other end of the third drive rod 11, and the other end of the push rod 12 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating plate 10-1. The push rod 12 is used to rotate the claw 10-2 inward to support the luggage or rotate the claw 10-2 outward to release the luggage under the drive of the third drive rod 11.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the first telescopic plate 5 and the second part 3-2 clamp the luggage, the third drive rod 11 drives the push rod 12 to rotate inward and the claw 10-2 supports the luggage, preventing the luggage from falling off during the multi-directional clamping mechanism's handling of the luggage, and ensuring the reliability of the airport's automatic luggage handling.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the first telescopic plate 5 and the second telescopic plate 7 clamp the luggage together, the third drive rod 11 drives the push rod 12 to rotate inward and the claw 10-2 supports the luggage, preventing the luggage from falling off during the multi-directional clamping mechanism's handling of the luggage, and ensuring the reliability of the airport's automatic luggage handling.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present invention, after the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 clamp the luggage, the third drive rod 11 drives the push rod 12 to rotate inward and the claw 10-2 supports the luggage, preventing the luggage from falling off during the multi-directional clamping mechanism's handling of the luggage, and ensuring the reliability of the airport's automatic luggage handling.

[0075] Figure 8AA hinge structure diagram of a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism is provided for specific embodiments of the present application. Figure 8B A latch structure diagram of a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism is provided for specific embodiments of the present application.

[0076] As shown in Figure 8A , Figure 8B , the first part 3-1 and the second part 3-2 are rotationally connected by a hinge G, the shaft cylinder T of the hinge G has a first hole H1, the middle shaft A of the hinge G has a second hole H2, and the first hole H1 and the second hole H2 correspond to each other when the first part 3-1 and the second part 3-2 are perpendicular to each other. The multi-directional clamping mechanism can also include a latch 13.

[0077] Specifically, the latch 13 is arranged on the first part 3-1 near the second part 3-2. When the moving plate 4 moves towards the second part 3-2 to clamp the luggage, the latch 13 penetrates the first hole H1 and the second hole H2, and the second part 3-2 cannot rotate relative to the first part 3-1. When the moving plate 4 moves away from the second part 3-2 to release the luggage, the latch 13 moves out of the first hole H1 and the second hole H2, and the second part 3-2 can freely rotate relative to the first part 3-1.

[0078] In the embodiments of the present application, when the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps the luggage, the latch 13 penetrates the first hole H1 and the second hole H2, and the shaft cylinder T of the hinge G and the middle shaft A of the hinge G cannot rotate relative to each other, i.e. the second part 3-2 cannot rotate relative to the first part 3-1, and the moving plate 4 and the second part 3-2 effectively clamp the luggage. When the multi-directional clamping mechanism releases the luggage, the latch 13 moves out of the first hole H1 and the second hole H2, and the shaft cylinder T of the hinge G and the middle shaft A of the hinge G can rotate relative to each other, i.e. the second part 3-2 can rotate relative to the first part 3-1, and the multi-directional clamping mechanism can quickly release the luggage.

[0079] Figure 9 A blocking protrusion structure diagram of a multi-directional clamping mechanism of a luggage material transfer mechanism is provided for specific embodiments of the present application.

[0080] As shown in Figure 9 , the moving plate 4 is obliquely arranged on the first part 3-1, the free end of the moving plate 4 is inclined towards the second part 3-2, and the side of the moving plate 4 facing the second part 3-2 has a plurality of blocking protrusions 4-1.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present invention, the movable plate 4 is tilted toward the second part 3-2. When the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 clamp the luggage left and right or front and back, the movable plate 4 will apply an upward force to the luggage, effectively preventing the luggage from falling off during the clamping and handling process of the directional clamping mechanism; when the movable plate 4 is tilted toward the second part 3-2, and the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 clamp the luggage up and down, the movable plate 4 will apply an inward force to the luggage, effectively preventing the luggage from falling off during the clamping and handling process of the directional clamping mechanism.

[0082] Figure 10 This invention provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a baggage material transfer mechanism that clamps baggage on the left and right sides, for a specific embodiment of the invention.

[0083] like Figure 10 As shown, the base plate 1 is rotatably disposed at the end of the baggage material transfer mechanism. When the base plate drive rod 2 is in the retracted state, the base plate 1 rotates 90 degrees relative to the end of the baggage material transfer mechanism, and the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 clamp the baggage from left to right.

[0084] In embodiments of the present invention, when the base plate drive rod 2 is in the retracted state, the base plate 1 rotates 90 degrees relative to the end of the baggage material transfer mechanism, and the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 can clamp the baggage from the left and right. For example, when long strips of baggage are placed along the conveying direction of the baggage conveyor belt, the baggage material transfer mechanism controls the base plate drive rod 2 to retract and rotates the base plate 1 by 90 degrees, so that the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 can clamp the baggage from the left and right, thereby effectively clamping the baggage. When long strips of baggage are placed perpendicular to the conveying direction of the baggage conveyor belt, the baggage material transfer mechanism controls the base plate drive rod 2 to retract, so that the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 can clamp the baggage from the front and back, thereby effectively clamping the baggage. When encountering flat baggage, the baggage material transfer mechanism controls the base plate drive rod 2 to extend, so that the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 can clamp the baggage from the top and bottom, thereby effectively clamping the flat baggage.

[0085] Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the retractable baffle of the baggage and material transfer mechanism is provided for a specific embodiment of the present invention.

[0086] like Figure 11 As shown, the multi-directional clamping mechanism of the baggage and material transfer mechanism also includes a retractable baffle 14.

[0087] Specifically, the retractable baffle 14 is disposed on one side of the first part 3-1. The retractable baffle 14 is used to prevent the luggage from being taken away by the luggage conveyor belt when the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 clamp the luggage from the left and right. When the movable plate 4 and the second part 3-2 clamp the luggage from the front and back or from the top and bottom, the retractable baffle 14 retracts above the first part 3-1, so as not to affect the effective clamping of the luggage by the multi-directional clamping mechanism.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, when the moving plate 4 moves towards the second part 3-2, the luggage is clamped from left and right, and the luggage conveyor belt is still moving with the luggage, the moving plate 4 moves towards the second part 3-2, and it takes a certain time for the moving plate 4 and the second part 3-2 to clamp the luggage. If the multi-directional clamping mechanism cannot move synchronously relative to the luggage along the conveying direction of the luggage conveyor belt while the moving plate 4 moves towards the second part 3-2, the moving plate 4 and the second part 3-2 may not be able to clamp the luggage in the middle, which will inevitably increase the risk of luggage falling when the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps the luggage. The extendable baffle 14 arranged on one side of the first part 3-1 can prevent the luggage from moving with the luggage conveyor belt when the moving plate 4 moves towards the second part 3-2, so that the moving plate 4 and the second part 3-2 can clamp the luggage in the middle, effectively reducing the risk of luggage falling when the multi-directional clamping mechanism clamps the luggage, and further reducing the complexity of the luggage material transfer mechanism.
