Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a trolley for storing and inspecting items. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, bus stations, train stations, airports, and ferry terminals all have separate security checkpoints for baggage and personal identification. When traveling, people need to place all their belongings on a baggage conveyor belt and pass them through a security scanner. To ensure travelers are not exposed to unnecessary X-rays, they then go through a separate personal identification checkpoint. Throughout this process, travelers and their belongings are separated. After passing through security, travelers then search for their items at the baggage conveyor belt exit. The whole process is rushed and chaotic, and incidents of people taking the wrong bags or items frequently occur. For solo travelers entering waiting areas, shopping, using restrooms, or even taking a nap can be very inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: designing and manufacturing a security box or a security cart specifically for passing through security checkpoints. Because the security box also needs to be equipped with small wheels for convenience, it will be referred to as a security cart from now on. To meet the needs of security checks, the six sides of the security cart are sealed with materials that do not interfere with X-ray inspection, and the door is locked by the traveler to ensure that the items placed inside the cart cannot be mistakenly taken. The width of the security cart must be compatible with the width of the security scanner, and the length can be in various specifications to accommodate the different numbers of bags carried by travelers. The bags carried by the traveler are placed horizontally inside the security cart for easy passage through the security scanner.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a trolley for storing items for security inspection, including a vehicle body with an internal cavity for accommodating items for security inspection; a door is provided on the surface of the vehicle body, one end of the door is rotatably connected to the vehicle body via a hinge, and the end of the door away from the hinge is closed and connected to the vehicle body via a buckle and detachably connected to the vehicle body via a lock; the non-door portion of the vehicle body is sealed with a material that does not affect X-ray inspection.

[0005] Security check trolleys can have two different structures depending on the loading method.

[0006] Side-loading trolley: Doors include side doors, which can be one or two. If there is one side door, it is located on one side of the trolley; if there are two side doors, they are located on opposite sides. Hinges are located on the side of the trolley near the bottom, while latches and locks are located on the side near the top. The security trolley has side doors on both sides that fold down. When folded down, travelers can place all their bags and belongings horizontally inside the trolley. After loading, travelers close the side doors and secure them with the latches. The locks on the trolley also lock the side doors, ensuring that belongings will not be lost even if the traveler leaves the trolley for a short time.

[0007] The loading trolley features a top-opening door located at the top of the trolley. This top door can be split into two parts, connected by a central hinge. The top door can be folded open, allowing travelers to place all their bags and belongings horizontally inside. Once loaded, the traveler lays the top door flat and closes it with the latches, securing it with a lock to ensure items are not lost even if briefly out of sight.

[0008] The security check cart is clearly marked with its serial number, and the keychain also has the same serial number for easy identification and retrieval.

[0009] Security check carts can be equipped with the same recognition and alarm system currently used for car keys. When the person holding the key leaves the cart at a certain distance, if someone touches or moves the cart, the cart can sound an alarm to prevent others from moving it.

[0010] The security check trolley can be equipped with a child seat in a suitable position, so that single travelers with children do not have to push the trolley and take care of the child at the same time, and will not be overwhelmed.

[0011] Four wheels are mounted on the bottom of the vehicle body, arranged separately. There are two front wheels and two rear wheels. The front wheels are connected to the vehicle body via wheel brackets, which protrude from the front of the vehicle body. A rear door is rotatably connected to the rear of the vehicle body, opposite the front. When several vehicles are stacked, the front of the rear vehicle passes through the rear door of the adjacent vehicle in front and enters the receiving cavity of the front vehicle. The fronts of adjacent vehicles are spaced apart by wheel brackets. The security check cart resembles a supermarket shopping cart, with tapered top, bottom, and sides. The front is fixed, and the rear door is designed to lift upwards and forwards. When not in use, the front of the rear security check cart can be inserted into the front security check cart, allowing multiple carts to be folded for storage, saving space.

[0012] The security check cart can be placed on all four sides without affecting the security check position, and advertising can be developed to increase the value of the security check cart.

[0013] To pass through security, travelers first place all their belongings in a security trolley, lock it, and push the trolley to the baggage claim conveyor belt entrance. Travelers only need to carry the key (and children if traveling with children) through the human screening lane. Then, they locate their trolley at the baggage claim conveyor belt exit and can push it into the waiting area. The key remains with the traveler, so even if they doze off, go to a kiosk, or use the restroom, they don't need to constantly carry their belongings; their items remain safe. Just before boarding, they can open the trolley to retrieve their items. Throughout the entire process, even short periods without supervision, travelers can ensure the safety of their belongings and maintain a relaxed and unhurried attitude.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are: throughout the entire station entry process, the security check trolley ensures that even though travelers are no longer under supervision of their belongings, the items are locked inside the trolley, and the relevant keys are in the traveler's possession, thus guaranteeing the safety of the items. Travelers can ensure the safety of their belongings throughout the entire station entry and waiting / flight process, and the entire process can be relaxed and unhurried. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the present invention provides a trolley for storing items for security inspection, including a body 7, the interior of which is provided with a receiving cavity for storing items for security inspection; a door is provided on the surface of the body 7, one end of the door is rotatably connected to the body 7 by a hinge 4, the end of the door away from the hinge 4 is closed and connected to the body 7 by a buckle 2, and is detachably connected to the body 7 by a lock 1; the non-door portion of the body is sealed with a material that does not affect X-ray inspection. When using the system, before going through security, the traveler first places all their belongings in the compartment inside the vehicle body 7, and controls the door to rotate around the axis of hinge 4, ensuring the door fits snugly against the vehicle body 7. The door is then closed and connected to the vehicle body 7 via latch 2, and locked using lock 1. After locking, the security trolley is pushed to the baggage screening conveyor belt entrance. The traveler, carrying only the key (and children if traveling with children), passes through the human body security checkpoint. They then locate the security trolley containing their belongings at the baggage screening conveyor belt exit and can push it into the waiting area or departure lounge. The key remains with the traveler, allowing them to remain secure even if they doze off, go to a kiosk, or use the restroom. The trolley is opened again just before boarding to retrieve their belongings. Throughout the entire process, even short periods without supervision, the traveler's belongings remain safe, and the waiting time is relaxed and unhurried.

[0025] Security check carts can have two structures depending on the loading method:

[0026] The above loading method uses a security inspection trolley: (Refer to the above method) Figure 1The vehicle body 7 has two doors, one at the top and one at the bottom. The two doors are connected by a central hinge 5. The rear of the security trolley has a lift-up door 3 that allows the next trolley to be pushed inwards. The lift-up door 3 has a folding seat attached to it; this structure is identical to the rear of a supermarket shopping cart and its seat, so it will not be explained further. The vehicle body 7 also has a lift-up door 6. Because the door is wide, it is composed of two parts connected by a central hinge 5. One side of the lift-up door 6 is mounted on the upper part of the vehicle body 7 using a hinge 4. Lifting the lift-up door 6 allows passengers to place their belongings inside. After lifting, the lift-up door 6 lies flat on the vehicle body 7 and is secured by a latch 2 and a lock 1. The bottom, sides, and head of the trolley are completely enclosed, providing sufficient strength without interfering with X-ray examination. As shown in diagram AA, the latch 2 is a hook-and-loop structure, mounted on the reinforcing rib 13 of the top-opening door 6, and mechanically and elastically locked to the upper rib 10 of the body 7. As shown in diagram BB, the latch 9 of the lock cylinder 1 mounted on the top-opening door 6 is moved to the position below the upper rib 10 by the key, preventing the top-opening door 6 from being lifted upwards. The trolley handle is omitted from the drawing.

[0027] Side-mounted vehicle inspection trolley: Refer to Figure 2The vehicle body 7 has a side door 20, which can be one or two. When there is one side door 20, it is located on one side of the vehicle body 7; when there are two side doors 20, they are located on opposite sides of the vehicle body 7. A hinge 4 is located on the side of the vehicle body 7 near the bottom, and a latch 2 and a lock 1 are located on the side of the vehicle body 7 near the top. The rear of the security check cart has a rear door 3 that can be lifted upwards to allow other security check carts to be pushed inwards. The rear door 3 has a folding seat attached to it; this structure is identical to that of a supermarket shopping cart seat and will not be explained further here. One side of the vehicle body 7 has a side door 20 that can be lowered. The side door 20 is hinged to the side of the vehicle body 7. When lowered, items can be placed into the cart from the side. When raised, the side door 20 is securely closed to the vehicle body 7 by the latch 2 and locked by the lock 1. The bottom, top, head, and the other side of the trolley (without a door) are completely sealed, providing sufficient strength without interfering with X-ray examination. As shown in the CC diagram, the latch 2 is a hook-and-loop structure, mounted on the upper reinforcing rib 13 of the side door 20, and mechanically and elastically locked to the upper rib 10 of the body 7. As shown in the DD diagram, the latch 9 of the lock cylinder 1 mounted on the side door 20 is turned inward by the key to the inner position of the upper rib 10, preventing the side door 20 from being lowered outward. The other side of the body 7 may also have a side door 20, or it may remain unopened, depending on the testing results.

[0028] Figure 3 In this design, four wheels are mounted on the bottom of the vehicle body 7, and these four wheels are installed separately at the bottom of the vehicle body 7. To ensure the trolley can pass through security checks without obstruction, the four wheels are installed separately from the trolley, and the wheel brackets should not obstruct the middle part of the trolley as much as possible. In some embodiments, the wheels are divided into front wheels 31 and rear wheels 32, with two of each. The front wheels 31 are connected to the vehicle body 7 via wheel brackets, which protrude from one side of the head 33 of the vehicle body 7. The vehicle body 7 has a rotatable rear door 3 at its rear end, opposite the head 33. When several vehicle bodies 7 are stacked, the head 33 of the rear vehicle body 7 passes through the rear door 3 of the adjacent and front vehicle body 7 and enters the receiving cavity of the front vehicle body 7. The heads 33 of adjacent vehicle bodies 7 are spaced apart by wheel brackets. The two front wheels can be either straight wheels or swivel wheels. These two front wheels should protrude a certain distance from the front of the trolley so that, when multiple trolleys are stacked, the head of the rear trolley is within the rising space of the front trolley. The rear wheels are swivel wheels, located on either side of the rear of the trolley.

[0029] Based on actual trial experiments, better trolley solutions may emerge, leading to the core idea of ​​this patent application: to provide travelers with a solution for temporarily storing their personal belongings; convenient for security checks; easy to push; and a lockable container to ensure the safety of the items, or in other words: to provide travelers with a trolley solution for storing items for security checks.
