Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aviation technology, and more specifically to a baggage check-in system that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, after passenger baggage passes through the check-in and security screening conveyor, issues such as baggage jamming and malfunctions in the transition conveyor system are often difficult to address due to the small gap between the transition conveyor and the security screening conveyor. This limited space hinders timely handling of baggage jams and other conveyor malfunctions, leading to baggage congestion and reducing the efficiency of baggage system operation and maintenance. Furthermore, the transition conveyor is difficult to remove from the rear for repairs; currently, it is embedded in the side panel notch of the collection conveyor, requiring manual lifting for maintenance. This necessitates the involvement of multiple maintenance personnel, sometimes four to five or more, resulting in high labor intensity and significant inconvenience.

[0003] Therefore, developing a convenient and easy-to-maintain baggage check-in system with a transfer conveyor is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a baggage check-in system with a convenient and easy-to-maintain transition conveyor.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An easy-to-maintain baggage check-in system includes:

[0007] Security inspection and conveying mechanism

[0008] A transition side plate, located at the conveying end of the security inspection conveying mechanism;

[0009] A transition conveyor is detachably connected to the side of the transition side plate away from the security inspection conveying mechanism; the transition conveyor includes: a first base plate and a first side plate, the first side plate being fixed to both sides of the first base plate; a sliding member is provided at the bottom of the first base plate;

[0010] A guide rail assembly, comprising a transverse guide rail and a longitudinal guide rail, wherein the sliding member is disposed within the transverse guide rail or the longitudinal guide rail.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are that the transition side plate and the transition conveyor in this invention are detachably connected, which makes it convenient to disassemble the transition side plate and leave a certain space for the movement of the transition conveyor. At the same time, the transition conveyor can move on the guide rail assembly, which makes it convenient to remove the transition conveyor for maintenance.

[0012] Preferably, the transition side plate includes: a second side plate and a second bottom plate, wherein the cross-section of the second bottom plate along the luggage movement direction is arc-shaped; the second side plate is fixed to both sides of the second bottom plate.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the second base plate is connected to multiple omnidirectional balls. The omnidirectional balls and the arc-shaped second base plate can reduce the sliding resistance of passenger luggage and reduce the risk of passenger luggage getting caught on bags or tangled.

[0014] Preferably, the second side plate has a positioning hole at the end where it connects to the first side plate. The positioning hole is gourd-shaped, and a positioning pin is provided on the first side plate at the position corresponding to the positioning hole. The positioning pin is placed inside the positioning hole. The positioning pin enters through the larger lower hole of the gourd-shaped positioning hole and is placed in the smaller upper hole. When it is necessary to remove the transition side plate, the transition side plate is lifted upwards and the positioning pin is placed in the larger lower hole of the positioning hole, so the transition side plate can be removed. The disassembly and assembly process is simple.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the first base plate is also provided with a pin, and the transverse guide rail is provided with a plug hole. The pin is plugged into the plug hole, which can limit the position of the transition conveyor in the guide rail assembly, making the transition conveyor more stable and secure during use.

[0016] Preferably, the security screening and conveying mechanism includes a security screening machine and a weighing conveyor; the end of the weighing conveyor is connected to the security screening machine. The security screening machine and the weighing conveyor can perform security screening and weighing operations on luggage respectively.

[0017] Preferably, a protective cage assembly is provided above the transition conveyor and the transition side plate. The protective cage assembly includes a frame, a movable door, a fixed door, and a door lock. The bottom end of the frame is placed on the ground, and the movable door and the fixed door are both hinged to the frame and located above the transition conveyor. The movable door and the fixed door are connected by the door lock. The door lock facilitates the closing of the protective cage and also facilitates its opening to handle passenger baggage malfunctions in the event of baggage jamming.

[0018] Preferably, a gap is left between the bottom ends of both the movable door and the fixed door and the top of the first side plate of the transition conveyor. The existence of the gap facilitates moving the transition conveyor a certain distance for maintenance.

[0019] Preferably, the top of the frame is equipped with an industrial control computer and a safety door. The safety door is used to close the passage between the security inspection machine and the transition conveyor; the industrial control computer is connected to the safety door. The safety door is controlled by the industrial control computer to prevent personnel from entering through the security inspection machine, ensuring air defense security.

[0020] Preferably, the transition conveyor is equipped with a collection conveyor at its end, and a partition is provided at the connection between the collection conveyor and the transition conveyor, the partition spanning the transition conveyor. The partition can separate the landside and airside of the airport to ensure air defense security.

[0021] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a baggage check-in system that is easy to maintain, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0022] (1) In this invention, after the passenger baggage passes through the security inspection machine, it is connected to the transition conveyor through the transition side plate. The setting of the transition side plate can reduce the risk of baggage transfer card, and at the same time reduce the window period of passenger baggage transfer delay, thus ensuring the efficiency of baggage transfer.

[0023] (2) The transition conveyor can move on the guide rail assembly and can be moved laterally out for maintenance, making maintenance easier and more convenient;

[0024] (3) The protective cage assembly is locked by a door lock, which makes it safer; the safety door is installed after the security inspection machine and is controlled by the industrial control computer to prevent personnel from entering through the security inspection machine and ensure air defense security.
