Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of transportation, in particular to a luggage buffer device. Background Art

[0002] In modern large aviation hubs, the efficiency and safety of baggage handling systems are crucial to passenger satisfaction and airport operational efficiency. Although most large airports have adopted advanced baggage handling systems, such as belt conveyor systems and high-speed tray systems, these systems integrate automatic barcode recognition, RFID and other technologies to achieve accurate and efficient baggage delivery. However, there is still a problem that needs to be solved in the final link of baggage delivery, especially when the baggage is transferred from the high-speed conveyor system to the circular conveyor where passengers pick up their baggage.

[0003] When the luggage is transferred from the high-speed transmission system to the ring conveyor, since the luggage itself has a certain mass and speed, it will convert its gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy during the falling process. When the luggage finally hits the bottom of the ring conveyor, this kinetic energy will be released in the form of impact force, which may not only cause damage to the luggage itself, such as edge wear and shell deformation, but also damage the conveyor belt of the ring conveyor, shortening its service life. Currently, there is a way for staff to hold a soft cushion to catch the falling luggage, which is manpower-consuming.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an effective buffer mechanism in the final link of baggage transfer to reduce the impact force between the baggage and the conveyor belt and protect the baggage and the conveyor belt from damage has become an important issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the current design of aviation baggage handling systems.

[0032] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the utility model provides a luggage buffer device, comprising: a frame 1, a baffle assembly 2, a power assembly 3 and a buffer assembly 4.

[0033] The frame 1, as the basic supporting structure of the entire buffer mechanism, ensures that all components are stably installed and maintain the correct relative positions. The design of the frame 1 needs to consider strength and stability to withstand the impact force generated when the luggage falls.

[0034] The baffle assembly 2 is a core part, directly involved in the luggage buffering process, and is arranged in the frame 1. A guide mechanism 5 is arranged between the frame 1 and the baffle assembly 2. The baffle assembly 2 can move forward relative to the frame 1 to block the falling luggage and prevent the luggage from being damaged.

[0035] The baffle assembly 2 includes: a telescopic box 21 and a front baffle 22. The front baffle 22 is arranged at the front of the telescopic box 21; the lower part of the telescopic box 21 is arranged on the longitudinal beam of the frame 1 through a guide mechanism 5. The telescopic box 21 provides a mechanical structural basis for the forward and backward movement of the baffle, and controls the extension and retraction of the front baffle 22 through the internal mechanical design.

[0036] The front stopper 22 is usually made of silicone and installed at the front end of the telescopic box 21. The softness and elasticity of the silicone are used to absorb the impact energy of the luggage, thereby protecting the luggage from damage and reducing noise generation.

[0037] The guide mechanism 5 includes a slider 51 and a track 52, wherein the slider 51 is fixed to the lower part of the baffle assembly 2, and the track 52 is fixed to the frame 1. This ensures that the baffle assembly 2 can move smoothly and accurately along a predetermined path, thereby increasing the stability and reliability of the system.

[0038] The power assembly 3 provides the power for the baffle assembly 2 to move forward and backward. The power assembly 3 includes a screw 31, a motor 32 and a reduction box 33. The motor 32 drives the reduction box 33 to rotate, and the reduction box 33 cooperates with the screw 31; the motor 32 and the reduction box 33 are fixedly arranged on the baffle assembly 2, and the two ends of the screw 31 are arranged on the frame 1 through bearings; the motor 32 rotates, driving the motor 32 and the reduction box 33 to move on the baffle assembly 2. In this embodiment, a nut that cooperates with the screw 31 is arranged in the reduction box 33, and the motor 32 and the reduction box 33 are fixed together at the bottom of the box body. Compared with the traditional motor 32 that directly drives the screw 31 to rotate, this design saves installation space in the length direction. Its internal specific structure is an existing design and is not described in this embodiment.

[0039] Power assembly 3 (screw 31, motor 32 and reduction box 33): key components for driving the baffle assembly 2 to move forward and backward. The motor 32 provides power, the reduction box 33 is used to reduce the speed and increase the torque, and the screw 31 converts the rotational motion into linear motion, ensuring that the movement of the baffle assembly 2 is both accurate and powerful.

[0040] Buffer components 4 are also provided on both sides of the baffle assembly 2. The buffer component 4 includes a stopper 41 and a hydraulic press 42; the stopper 41 is fixed on the baffle assembly, and the hydraulic press 42 is provided at the front and rear parts of the frame 1. The baffle assembly 2 is installed on both sides of the baffle assembly 2, and its main function is that when the baffle assembly 2 moves forward and backward to the limit position, the stopper 41 hits the hydraulic press 42, and the hydraulic press 42 stops slowly through the damping effect of the hydraulic press 42, thereby reducing the impact and noise when moving into position.

[0041] The lower part of the baffle assembly 2 is provided with a first sensor 23 and a second sensor 24. The first sensor 23 is used for detecting the baffle assembly 2 stopping when it advances to the designated position, and the second sensor 24 is used for detecting the baffle assembly 2 stopping when it retreats to the designated position. The first sensor 23 and the second sensor 24 are used to monitor the forward and backward positions of the baffle assembly 2, respectively, to ensure that the baffle stops at the correct position, and to provide necessary safety control and automatic feedback.

[0042] The middle of the telescopic box 21 is provided with a support plate 211, and holes are provided on the support plate 211 for weight reduction. The support plate 211 provided in the middle of the telescopic box 21 is provided with holes, mainly to reduce weight while maintaining structural strength, which is conducive to the efficient operation of the power system.

[0043] The lower part of the frame 1 is provided with an adjustable foot support 11 for adjusting the height of the mechanism, so that the height of the entire mechanism can be adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring perfect docking with the ring conveyor and adapting to different installation environments.

[0044] When airline luggage slides down from the high-speed conveyor to the circular conveyor belt, in the existing mechanism, the luggage will hit the circular conveyor belt, and the luggage will rotate in a circle on the circular conveyor belt, waiting for passengers to take it from the circular conveyor belt. Sometimes, in order to prevent the luggage from being damaged, the staff needs to take a soft cushion to catch the luggage. This device is set to the position where the circular conveyor belt will be hit. During the falling process of the luggage, the sensor set on the high-speed conveyor receives the signal of the luggage falling, and the signal is sent to the controller. The controller controls the power component 3 to work, thereby driving the telescopic box 21 of the baffle component 2 to extend and catch the falling luggage. The telescopic box 21 retracts again, and the luggage is transported by the circular conveyor belt. The working process of this device is equivalent to the process of the staff taking a soft cushion to catch the luggage, which saves human resources.

[0045] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
