[0002] With the acceleration of modernization and the continuous improvement of economic level, the number of airport passengers has increased year by year, the cargo throughput has continued to increase, and the service speed requirements of many airports have also been further enhanced. However, the loading of outbound luggage at airports still relies on manual labor. Every year, airports invest a lot of manpower to ensure the normal operation of outbound luggage loading business. However, the faster the development speed, the more prominent the problem of human resource shortage is. There is an urgent need to solve the problem through intelligent and automated methods.

[0003] In order to solve the problem of loading outbound luggage at airports, this application will propose an automatic loading system to meet the growing needs. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems of the high-speed development of airports and the shortage of human resources, this application proposes an automatic loading system for airport outbound baggage based on a chute, which adopts the following technical solutions: An automatic loading system for airport outbound baggage based on a chute type includes a chute port of a sorting system, outbound baggage, an automatic docking trolley, an automatic loading baggage trolley and a communication module. After the outbound baggage is checked in from a check-in counter, it is sorted by the sorting system to a chute port designated by the flight. The head of the automatic docking trolley docks with the chute port of the sorting system, and the height difference therebetween is within plus or minus 10 centimeters; the tail of the automatic docking trolley docks with the automatic loading baggage trolley, and the height is not lower than that of the automatic loading baggage trolley.

[0005] The head of the automatic docking trolley is docked with the chute of the sorting system, and the tail is docked with the automatic loading luggage trolley. The head is higher than the tail and has a certain angle. An angle adjustment drive is provided, and the angle can be adjusted according to different cargo compartment heights. It communicates with the automatic loading luggage trolley through the communication device using a wireless network. A manual separate control button is also provided, which can be started manually with one button and run independently. One automatic docking trolley can simultaneously carry out docking and transportation work of multiple automatic loading luggage trolleys.

[0006] The communication device is installed in the automatic loading luggage trolley, can control the operation logic and start and stop of the automatic loading luggage trolley, and can communicate with the remote service terminal and the automatic docking trolley through the wireless transmission module.

[0007] When the system is running, the automatic docking trolley identifies the entrance of the automatic loading baggage trolley and the chute of the sorting system through visual sensing; the outbound baggage slides to the head position of the automatic docking trolley, and the automatic docking trolley is equipped with a power device, which can transport the outbound baggage from the head to the tail and send it to the entrance position of the automatic loading baggage trolley. Then, due to the influence of inertia and gravity, the outbound baggage can fall to the entrance position of the automatic loading baggage trolley in an orderly manner from its tail, and the automatic loading baggage trolley then loads the goods in an orderly manner according to the operation logic.

[0008] The automatic loading luggage cart adopts a loading logic of loading layer by layer. The automatic loading luggage cart is equipped with a horizontal driving device and a vertical driving device, and a gravity sensing device is installed on each driving part in the car to sense whether there is a luggage position, and visual sensors are installed from bottom to top at the luggage entrance to detect the appearance information of the luggage. After the luggage enters the automatic loading luggage cart, the gravity sensing device on the device detects the best loading position of the luggage, and the visual sensor at the entrance automatically judges the size, angle and height of the luggage and other luggage appearance information, and the outbound luggage is sent to a suitable position through the horizontal driving device; after a layer of outbound luggage is full, the vertical driving device will drive the shelf of the layer to rise to a suitable position, and the next layer starts to work until all layers are full and stop working after outputting a full load signal.

[0009] The layer shelf of the automatic loading luggage vehicle adopts a hollow structure, and a luggage identity reader can be installed inside. The luggage identity reader can read the identity of the luggage, realize self-checking of the luggage in the vehicle, and upload the information to the remote service terminal through the communication device.

[0015] The following is combined with Figure 1 This application is described in further detail.

[0016] The embodiment of the present application discloses a luggage handling and positioning system. Example

[0017] An automatic loading system for airport outbound baggage based on a chute type, comprising a sorting system chute opening (1), an automatic docking trolley (2), an automatic loading baggage trolley (3), a communication module (4) and outbound baggage, wherein the outbound baggage is checked baggage of passengers. After the passengers have completed the check-in formalities, the outbound baggage is sorted by the sorting system in the chute opening (1) of the sorting system designated by the flight. The head position of the automatic docking trolley (2) docks with the platform of the chute opening (1) of the sorting system, and the height is flush. The tail position docks with the baggage entrance position of the automatic loading baggage trolley (3), and the height is higher than the baggage entrance position of the automatic loading baggage trolley (3).

[0018] The automatic docking trolley (2) is equipped with a linear conveying device, which can convey the outbound baggage from the head to the tail. The head has an inclination angle compared to the tail, and the inclination angle can be adjusted according to the height of the platform of the chute opening (1) of the sorting system.

[0019] The automatic loading luggage cart (3) uses a layer-by-layer stacking logic for stacking; it contains a horizontal drive device and a vertical drive device, the horizontal drive device can move forward, backward, left and right, and can transport the luggage to any position in the horizontal space of the car; the vertical drive device can drive the layer space to move up and down; each layer space uses a hollow aluminum material as a layer bracket, and each hollow aluminum material is installed with a luggage identity reader for reading the identity information of the luggage; each horizontal drive device in the automatic loading luggage cart (3) is installed with a gravity sensor to detect the empty position of the horizontal layer space, and a visual sensor is installed from the bottom to the top of the entrance to detect the angle, outer contour and other external dimensions of the outbound luggage; The communication module is arranged in the automatic loading luggage trolley (3), is connected to the control mainboard of the automatic loading luggage trolley (3) via a wire, and can send wireless signals, and can connect the automatic docking trolley (2) and the remote service terminal.

[0020] When the system is working, the outbound baggage is sorted by the sorting system according to the flight sorting designated sorting system chute (1), and then slides to the head position of the automatic docking trolley (2) under the action of gravity. The automatic docking trolley (2) transports the outbound baggage from the head to the tail, and then drops from the tail to the entrance of the automatic loading baggage trolley (3). After the visual sensor at the entrance of the automatic loading baggage trolley (3) detects the baggage, it starts the internal operation logic, calculates the vacant position of the horizontal layer space, and then starts the horizontal drive device to transport the baggage horizontally to the designated position until the first horizontal layer space is full of baggage, and then starts the vertical drive device to raise the first layer of full baggage to the designated height, and starts the stacking of the next horizontal layer space; after the three horizontal layers are full, a full load signal is output, and the automatic loading of baggage on an automatic loading baggage trolley (3) is completed.
