Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of sensor detection technology, and in particular to a safety detection device for an unmanned boarding bridge and a stop triggering method. Background Art

[0002] A boarding bridge is a device used at an airport to connect the terminal building and aircraft, providing passengers with a convenient passage directly from the terminal building to the aircraft, avoiding the inconvenience of waiting and boarding in the open air. A boarding bridge usually consists of a fixed part and a movable part. The movable part can be adjusted according to the height and parking position of different aircraft models to ensure that passengers can get on and off the aircraft safely and comfortably.

[0003] The boarding bridge can automatically adjust the height and distance according to the position of the aircraft to ensure accurate docking with the aircraft door. The boarding bridge is equipped with an automated unmanned driving system to ensure docking accuracy. Its key technologies include sensors, image recognition, automatic control and precise mechanical design. Existing boarding bridges have image recognition and positioning equipment that can identify and locate the aircraft's cabin door. When the aircraft is docked, the camera captures the image of the aircraft's cabin door and determines the exact position and angle of the aircraft's cabin door through image analysis. LiDAR and ranging sensors are used to measure distance and environmental obstacles, and provide relative position information between the aircraft and the boarding bridge. These data help the system adjust the movement path of the boarding bridge in real time to ensure safe and accurate approach to the aircraft. In order to ensure the safety of the pick-up, contact sensors and emergency stop buttons are set up. Once an abnormal situation is detected or an obstacle is encountered, the system will stop moving immediately to prevent damage. For example, Asia's first fully automatic boarding bridge is used at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport. It is equipped with a door visual positioning system that can accurately identify and lock the aircraft door, transmit information to the central control system in real time and complete the docking operation, breaking the previous limitation of manual operation by staff and realizing an automated and intelligent docking process. At the same time, the patent with application number CN201710262227.7 was retrieved and disclosed a boarding bridge anti-collision system and a boarding bridge anti-collision control method. The detection device is used to detect the distance information between the boarding bridge and the aircraft engine, so that the control system controls the operating status of the boarding bridge drive mechanism, lifting mechanism and receiving port of the boarding bridge according to the above distance information, so as to prevent the boarding bridge from colliding with the aircraft engine and ensure the safety and reliability of the boarding bridge when docking with the aircraft. The patent with application number CN201711464137.2 discloses a boarding bridge receiving port anti-collision mechanism and a boarding bridge containing the mechanism, including a telescopic floor, which can move forward and backward along a fixed frame to adjust the extension length of the boarding bridge. When picking up an aircraft, the boarding bridge stops moving at a certain distance from the aircraft, and controls the telescopic floor to extend and contact the aircraft, avoiding the overall structure from contacting the aircraft and reducing the risk of collision when picking up an aircraft. Patent application number CN202221962926.5 discloses a boarding bridge close-range pick-up control system, which is equipped with a distance sensor and a trigger stop mechanism to avoid collisions caused by sensor failure. However, the following problems still exist:

[0004] (1) Although the prior art has a trigger stop mechanism, it operates at a low speed and has a buffer pad for cushioning, but the inertial impact will also cause impact on the aircraft. A single-position distance sensor is used for detection, which has low detection accuracy and poses a safety hazard.

[0005] (2) The surface curves of different models are also different. The telescopic rain cover is deployed after docking, which is inefficient and cannot be adapted to all models. Summary of the invention

[0020] Based on the above-mentioned stop triggering method of the unmanned boarding bridge safety detection device, the specific steps are as follows:

[0021] Step S1: The management machine sends the data of the aircraft to be docked to the control terminal, and the aircraft data includes the aircraft size information;

[0022] Step S2: the control terminal controls the PTZ according to the aircraft size information so that the camera collects aircraft images and identifies the door position;

[0024] Preferably, in step S3,

[0025] The calculation formula for sliding distance is as follows:

[0026]

[0027] Among them, S is the sliding distance, V is the current travel speed, μ is the sum of the ground friction factor related to rainfall and the friction factor of the boarding bridge itself, and g is the gravitational constant;

[0028] When d1 = S*sinθ + d0, the boarding bridge drive mechanism stops running, and the telescopic part of the boarding bridge continues to slide under the action of inertia;

[0029] Where d1 is the distance between the boarding gate and the cabin door, θ is the angle between the running direction of the boarding bridge and the centerline of the aircraft, and d0 is the set safety distance;

[0030] When d2=S*cosθ+d0, the boarding bridge driving mechanism stops moving, and after the fixed part and the receiving port of the boarding bridge rotate to the set angle, the boarding bridge driving mechanism drives the telescopic part to move;

[0031] The control terminal determines the door height and the engine height according to the aircraft size information, controls the boarding bridge driving mechanism according to the door height so that the height of the boarding bridge is consistent with the door height, and adjusts the height of the L-shaped rack lifting plate according to the engine height;

[0032] In the stop component, the extension length of the trigger threaded rod is adjusted by adjusting the motor according to the set safety distance.

The unmanned boarding bridge stops using a double trigger mechanism, making the boarding bridge safer and more reliable, and improving the safety margin of airport operations.

The second distance detection modules are connected to the electric push rod. The telescopic end of the electric push rod is connected to the telescopic rain cover through a connecting plate, so that the shape of the telescopic rain cover can be adjusted during the operation and docked at the last moment, so that the telescopic rain cover fits the fuselage better and will not cause impact to the aircraft.

[0056] A stop triggering method for an unmanned boarding bridge safety detection device, the specific steps are as follows:

[0057] Step S1: The management machine sends the data of the aircraft to be docked to the control terminal, and the aircraft data includes the aircraft size information.

[0058] Step S2: The control terminal controls the gimbal 11 according to the aircraft size information so that the camera 12 collects aircraft images and identifies the door position.

[0059] Step S3: The control terminal controls the operation of the boarding bridge drive mechanism of the boarding bridge according to the door position and aircraft size information, and performs safety distance detection, rainfall detection and speed detection at the same time; calculates the taxiing distance according to the rainfall detection data and the speed detection data, and determines whether to trigger the boarding bridge drive mechanism to stop operating according to the detected distance data and the taxiing distance.

[0060] In step S3,

[0061] The calculation formula for sliding distance is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] Among them, S is the sliding distance, V is the current travel speed, μ is the sum of the ground friction factor related to rainfall and the friction factor of the boarding bridge itself, and g is the gravitational constant;

[0064] When d1 = S*sinθ + d0, the boarding bridge drive mechanism stops running, and the telescopic part of the boarding bridge continues to slide under the action of inertia;

[0065] Where d1 is the distance between the boarding gate and the cabin door, θ is the angle between the running direction of the boarding bridge and the centerline of the aircraft, and d0 is the set safety distance;

[0066] When d2=S*cosθ+d0, the boarding bridge driving mechanism stops moving, and after the fixed part and the receiving port of the boarding bridge rotate to the set angle, the boarding bridge driving mechanism drives the telescopic part to move;

[0067] The control terminal determines the door height and the engine height according to the aircraft size information, controls the boarding bridge driving mechanism according to the door height so that the height of the boarding bridge is consistent with the door height, and adjusts the height of the L-shaped rack lifting plate 33 according to the engine height;

When the first distance detection assembly and the second distance detection assembly fail and the rubber contact head 41 contacts an obstacle, the trigger threaded rod 42 drives the adjustment limit sleeve 43 to move inward, so that the trigger part triggers the trigger switch and the boarding bridge drive mechanism stops running.

[0069] When the boarding bridge moves toward the cabin door, the control terminal determines the fuselage curve according to the aircraft size information, and a number of electric push rods 232 extend a corresponding distance according to the fuselage curve and drive the retractable rain cover to unfold. When the distance detected by the second distance detection module 231 is equal to the set threshold, a number of electric push rods 232 simultaneously extend outward to a set length, so that the retractable rain cover fits the fuselage.
