[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Embodiment

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , which is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a technical solution: a laser ranging docking mechanism for a passenger boarding bridge, including

[0024] The docking mechanism 1 installed on the side of the inclined ladder 2 of the passenger boarding bridge and aligned with the aircraft cabin 3. The docking mechanism 1 includes a bracket 11 welded and fixed on the side of the inclined ladder 2 of the passenger boarding bridge, a movable support column 12 movably penetrating the bracket 11, an installation base plate 13 welded and fixed at the bottom end of the movable support column 12, a laser light source 14 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the installation base plate 13, and a laser rangefinder 15 fixedly installed on the top surface of the installation base plate 13. The laser light source 14 is used to emit a laser beam towards the aircraft cabin 3 to facilitate the docking between the driver of the passenger boarding bridge and the aircraft cabin 3, and this part of the content is already disclosed in the existing patent. For details, please refer to the existing patent with the publication number CN213800231U, and will not be elaborated here. The laser rangefinder 15 performs real-time laser ranging during the docking process, so that the passenger boarding bridge can be adjusted to an appropriate height at a reasonable distance to facilitate the smooth docking with the aircraft cabin 3;

[0025] The docking mechanism 1 further includes an adjustment component 16 disposed between the support base 11 and the movable support column 12, which includes an inner sliding groove 162 opened inside the support base 11, an inner slider 163 and a spring 164 installed in the inner sliding groove 162, a side clamping block 166 welded and fixed to the right surface of the spring 164, a plurality of side clamping grooves 167 opened on the left surface of the movable support column 12, and a connecting rod 165 welded and fixed to the left surface of the inner slider 163. The left end of the connecting rod 165 penetrates through the left surface of the support base 11 and is fixed with a side pulling plate 161. The right end of the side clamping block 166 penetrates into one of the side clamping grooves 167. Subsequently, when it is necessary to adjust the installation heights of the laser light source 14 and the laser rangefinder 15, only need to laterally pull the side pulling plate 161, so that the connecting rod 165 drives the inner slider 163 to laterally move and gradually compress the spring 164, causing the end of the side clamping block 166 to move out of the side clamping groove 167, and the limit on the movable support column 12 can be quickly released. At this time, sliding the movable support column 12 up and down can change the heights of the laser light source 14 and the laser rangefinder 15. When the two are adjusted to appropriate heights, release the side pulling plate 161. Under the pushing of the spring 164, the inner slider 163 rebounds and resets, and the right end of the side clamping block 166 is inserted into the side clamping groove 167 at other positions, and the movable support column 12 can be limited again, realizing the rapid adjustment of the installation heights of the laser light source 14 and the laser rangefinder 15.

[0026] Among them, the inner slider 163 slides in the inner sliding groove 162. The side pulling plate 161 is L-shaped. A rectangular movable opening 112 adapted to the movable support column 12 is penetrated and opened on the surface of the support base 11 for the smooth penetration and subsequent up and down sliding of the movable support column 12.

[0027] Among them, one end of the spring 164 abuts against the inner wall of the inner sliding groove 162, and the other end of the spring 164 abuts against the left surface of the inner slider 163. Under the pushing of the spring 164, the side clamping block 166 can be stably clamped in one of the side clamping grooves 167 during daily use, ensuring the limiting stability of the movable support column 12.

[0028] Among them, a rod hole communicating with the inner sliding groove 162 is opened on the left surface of the support base 11, and the rod hole is adapted to the connecting rod 165 for the smooth penetration of the connecting rod 165.

[0029] Among them, an anti-detachment stop block 17 is slidably installed on the top surface of the movable support column 12. A strip-shaped disassembly and assembly opening 111 corresponding to the anti-detachment stop block 17 is opened on the inner wall of the rectangular movable opening 112. Later, the anti-detachment stop block 17 can be slid to the right to align with the strip-shaped disassembly and assembly opening 111, then the side pulling plate 161 is laterally pulled, and the movable support column 12 is continuously slid downwards, so that the anti-detachment stop block 17 passes through the strip-shaped disassembly and assembly opening 111, and the movable support column 12 can be smoothly disassembled from the support base 11, facilitating the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the laser light source 14 and the laser rangefinder 15 in the later stage.

[0030] Among them, a T-shaped slider 171 is fixedly welded to the bottom surface of the anti-disengagement stopper 17. A T-shaped top groove 121 corresponding to the T-shaped slider 171 is formed in the top surface of the movable support column 12. The T-shaped slider 171 is slidably located in the T-shaped top groove 121, so that the anti-disengagement stopper 17 can slide smoothly left and right on the top of the movable support column 12.

[0031] Among them, a rubber bottom block 172 is embedded and installed at the right bottom of the anti-disengagement stopper 17. Both of them are made of rubber material and will undergo elastic deformation when being squeezed. And an integral arc-shaped positioning protrusion 173 is provided on the bottom surface of the rubber bottom block 172. The arc-shaped positioning protrusion 173 is embedded in the T-shaped top groove 121, which can assist in limiting the position of the anti-disengagement stopper 17 during daily use. And when it is necessary to slide the anti-disengagement stopper 17 to the right subsequently, only need to push the anti-disengagement stopper 17 forcefully to the right, so that the arc-shaped positioning protrusion 173 is squeezed and undergoes elastic deformation, and then the arc-shaped positioning protrusion 173 can be smoothly extruded out of the T-shaped top groove 121. At this time, the anti-disengagement stopper 17 can be smoothly slid to the right.

[0032] Among them, an elliptical cavity is formed inside the rubber bottom block 172, and the position of the elliptical cavity corresponds to the arc-shaped positioning protrusion 173, so that the arc-shaped positioning protrusion 173 has sufficient deformation space when being squeezed.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described (see the above detailed description), for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
