Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cargo loading technology, and in particular to a conveying mechanism and a bulk cargo loader. Background Technology

[0002] Bulk cargo loaders (BCLs) are special equipment used in civil airport areas for loading and unloading baggage and parcels from aircraft. The key component of a bulk cargo loader is its conveying mechanism. Currently, there are two main types of conveying mechanisms for BCLs on the market: roller mechanisms and sliding plate mechanisms. In roller mechanism BCLs, the contact between the rollers and the belt is line contact; during baggage or parcel handling, external impacts can easily damage the inner layer of the belt. In sliding plate mechanism BCLs, the contact area between the sliding plate and the belt is too large, which can easily cause premature wear of the inner layer of the belt during baggage or parcel transport, severely affecting the belt's lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main objective of this application is to provide a conveying mechanism with a simple structure, high reliability, and long conveyor belt life.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] According to one aspect of this application, a conveying mechanism for transporting goods is provided, comprising a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt, a drive roller, at least one sliding plate, and a support roller. The conveyor belt is disposed on the conveyor frame and is movable around the conveyor frame to transport the goods. The drive roller is disposed at one end of the conveyor frame and drives the conveyor belt. The sliding plate is disposed on the end of the conveyor frame corresponding to the end where the conveyor belt receives the goods. The support roller is disposed on the portion of the conveyor frame where the sliding plate is not located, and serves to support the conveyor belt.

[0006] According to one embodiment of this application, the conveying mechanism further includes an auxiliary roller disposed at the other end of the conveyor frame to assist the movement of the conveyor belt.

[0007] According to one embodiment of this application, there are two slides, one of which is located near the drive roller and the other is located near the auxiliary roller.

[0008] According to one embodiment of this application, the support roller is disposed on the portion of the conveyor frame located between the drive roller and the auxiliary roller.

[0009] According to one embodiment of this application, when the conveyor belt transports the goods from the drive roller to the auxiliary roller, the slide plate is positioned close to the drive roller.

[0010] According to one embodiment of this application, when the conveyor belt transports the goods from the auxiliary roller to the drive roller, the slide plate is positioned close to the auxiliary roller.

[0011] According to one embodiment of this application, the skateboard includes a skateboard frame and a mounting member, the mounting member being mounted on the skateboard frame for mounting the skateboard onto the conveyor frame.

[0012] According to one embodiment of this application, the skateboard frame includes two oppositely arranged side beams and a plurality of support beams disposed between the two side beams, the support beams being staggered.

[0013] According to one embodiment of this application, the side beam is provided with mounting holes, the mounting component includes a mounting shaft and a fixing plate, the mounting shaft passes through and protrudes from the mounting holes, and the fixing plate is fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two side beams.

[0041] See Figure 1 The conveying mechanism 1 for transporting goods according to this application includes a conveyor frame 10, a conveyor belt 20, a drive roller 100, at least one slide plate 200, and a support roller 300. The conveyor belt 20 is disposed on the conveyor frame 10 and is capable of moving around the conveyor frame 10 to transport goods. The drive roller 100 is disposed at one end of the conveyor frame 10 and drives the conveyor belt 20. The slide plate 200 is disposed at the end of the conveyor frame 10 corresponding to the end where the conveyor belt 20 receives goods. The support roller 300 is disposed on the portion of the conveyor frame 10 where the slide plate 200 is not located, and is used to support the conveyor belt 20.

[0042] The conveying mechanism 1 of this application has a sliding plate 200 at the end of the conveyor frame 10 corresponding to the end of the conveyor belt 20 that receives goods, and support rollers 300 at other positions of the conveyor frame 10 to support the conveyor belt 20 and complete the goods conveying. This can avoid the problem that the inner layer of the conveyor belt 20 is easily damaged by external impact during the placement of luggage or packages in the roller conveyor mechanism 1; it can also avoid the problem that the contact surface between the sliding plate 200 and the conveyor belt 20 is too large during the transportation of luggage or packages in the sliding plate conveyor mechanism 1, which can easily cause the inner layer of the conveyor belt 20 to wear too quickly.

[0043] The conveyor belt 20 can be a belt or a chain, etc. The belt can be a flat belt, a V-belt, or other types of belt. The conveyor belt 20 can also be any other type of conveyor belt capable of bearing weight and transporting goods through movement. The support roller 300 can be a roller or similar structure.

[0044] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 1 further includes an auxiliary roller 102, which is disposed at the other end of the conveyor frame 10 to assist the movement of the conveyor belt 20. The auxiliary roller 102 enables the conveyor belt 20 to move relatively smoothly during the conveying of goods. The auxiliary roller 102 may or may not be the same size as the drive roller 100. Both the drive roller 100 and the auxiliary roller 102 may be made of stainless steel, or other lightweight and high-strength materials, such as PC plastic, ABS plastic, PVC plastic, PP plastic, PE plastic, etc.

[0045] In this embodiment, the surface of the conveyor belt 20 that contacts the drive roller 100 is defined as the inner side of the conveyor belt 20, and the surface opposite to the inner side of the conveyor belt 20 is defined as the outer side of the conveyor belt 20. Therefore, in this embodiment, a connecting roller 400 is also provided on the outer side of the conveyor belt 20, near the drive roller 100, to connect multiple conveying mechanisms 1 for long-distance conveying. In other embodiments, the connecting roller 400 may also be located on the outer side of the conveyor belt 20, near the auxiliary roller 102. Alternatively, connecting rollers 400 may be provided at both ends of the outer side of the conveyor belt 20.

[0046] In this embodiment, there are two slide plates 200, one located near the drive roller 100 and the other near the auxiliary roller 102. The slide plates 200 are positioned at both ends of the conveyor belt 20, allowing goods to be placed on the conveyor belt 20 from either end without causing damage to the inner side of the conveyor belt 20 due to impact from the goods. In this configuration, the conveying direction of the goods can be from the drive roller 100 to the auxiliary roller 102, or from the auxiliary roller 102 to the drive roller 100.

[0047] In this embodiment, a support roller 300 is provided on the portion of the conveyor frame 10 located between the drive roller 100 and the auxiliary roller 102. The support roller 300 on the conveyor frame 10 in the middle portion of the conveyor belt 20 provides support for the conveyor belt 20 carrying the goods, preventing wear on the inner surface of the conveyor belt 20 caused by the sliding plate 200 support, extending the service life of the conveyor belt 20, reducing conveying costs, and improving economic efficiency.

[0048] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, and in combination Figure 1The skateboard 200 includes a skateboard frame 201 and a mounting member 202. The mounting member 202 is mounted on the skateboard frame 201 for mounting the skateboard 200 onto the conveyor frame 10. The mounting member 202 facilitates the mounting of the skateboard 200 onto the conveyor frame 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, the slide frame 201 includes two oppositely arranged side beams 2011 and a plurality of support beams 2012 disposed between the two side beams 2011, with the support beams 2012 arranged in an alternating manner. The side beams 2011 can be used to install the mounting components 202 and also provide fixation for the support beams 2012. The alternating arrangement of the support beams 2012 can expand the support area and provide more comprehensive support for the conveyor belt 20. The alternating arrangement can be 90 degrees or other degrees. The support beams 2012 can be parallel or perpendicular to the side beams 2011, or they can be inclined at a certain angle to the side beams 2011.

[0050] Among them, the skateboard frame 201 is made of stainless steel. The surface of the stainless steel skateboard frame 201 is smoother, which can effectively reduce the friction between the skateboard 200 and the conveyor belt 20, and further improve the service life of the conveyor belt 20.

[0051] In this embodiment, the side beam 2011 is provided with mounting holes 2013. The mounting component 202 includes a mounting shaft 2021 and a fixing plate 2022. The mounting shaft 2021 passes through and protrudes from the mounting hole 2013, and the fixing plate 2022 is fixed to the opposite surfaces of the two side beams 2011. The fixing plate 2022 is fixed to the side beam 2011, and the mounting shaft 2021 protrudes from the mounting hole 2013, making the installation of the slide plate 200 and the conveyor frame 10 secure and convenient. The setting of the fixing plate 2022 makes the fixing of the mounting shaft 2021 and the side beam 2011 simple and convenient.

[0052] The conveying mechanism 1 of this application also has a second embodiment, wherein the conveying mechanism 1 of the second embodiment is related to... Figures 1 to 3 Compared to the conveying mechanism 1 of the other embodiment, it has a substantially similar structure in its basic construction. Therefore, in the following description of the conveying mechanism 1 of this other embodiment, it will not be described again. Figures 1 to 3 The structure has already been described in the implementation method. Additionally, regarding... Figures 1 to 3 The conveying mechanism 11 described in the embodiments has the same structure and is labeled with the same reference numerals. Therefore, in the following description of this embodiment, the structure of the conveying mechanism 11 is mainly described. Figures 1 to 3 The differences between this embodiment and the conveying mechanism 1 will be explained. Specifically, the main difference in this other embodiment of the conveying mechanism 1 lies in the number and position of the sliding plates 200. Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment, there are two slide plates 200, which are respectively located near the drive roller 100 and the auxiliary roller 102. In the second embodiment, the conveyor belt 20 transports goods from the drive roller 100 to the auxiliary roller 102. In this case, there can be only one slide plate 200, and the slide plate 200 is located near the drive roller 100.

[0053] The conveying mechanism 1 of this application also has a third embodiment, wherein the conveying mechanism 1 of the third embodiment is related to... Figures 1 to 3 Compared to the conveying mechanism 1 of the other embodiment, it has a substantially similar structure in its basic construction. Therefore, in the following description of the conveying mechanism 1 of this other embodiment, it will not be described again. Figures 1 to 3 The structure has already been described in the implementation method. Additionally, regarding... Figures 1 to 3 The conveying mechanism 11 described in the embodiments has the same structure and is labeled with the same reference numerals. Therefore, in the following description of this embodiment, the structure of the conveying mechanism 11 is mainly described. Figures 1 to 3 The differences between this embodiment and the conveying mechanism 1 will be explained. Specifically, the main difference in this other embodiment of the conveying mechanism 1 lies in the number and position of the sliding plates 200. Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, there are two slide plates 200, which are respectively located near the drive roller 100 and the auxiliary roller 102. In the third embodiment, the conveyor belt 20 transports goods from the auxiliary roller 102 to the drive roller 100, and there is one slide plate 200, which is located near the auxiliary roller 102.

[0054] In fact, in both the second and third embodiments of the conveying mechanism 1 of this application, a sliding plate 200 is provided at the end of the conveyor belt 20 that receives goods, which can prevent damage to the conveyor belt 20 caused by the impact of luggage or other goods when they are placed on the conveyor belt 20. After the goods have been placed on the conveyor belt 20, a support roller 300 can be provided at the position where the conveyor belt 20 moves to transport the goods, so as to provide support for the conveyor belt 20.

[0055] The bulk cargo loader of this application includes the conveying mechanism 1 as described above. In the bulk cargo loader including the conveying mechanism 1, a sliding plate 200 is provided at the end of the conveyor belt 20 that receives cargo, and a support roller 300 is provided in the middle of the conveyor belt 20. This design ensures that the inner layer of the conveyor belt 20 is less likely to be damaged after being impacted by cargo at the cargo receiving point; that the inner layer of the conveyor belt 20, which is mainly used for transporting cargo, does not wear out too quickly; and that the service life of the conveyor belt 20 is extended.

[0056] The above is a detailed description of several exemplary embodiments of the conveying mechanism 1 proposed in this application. The following will describe in detail the usage process of the conveying mechanism 1 proposed in this application.

[0057] Combined with appendix Figures 1 to 3 The process of using the conveying mechanism 1 proposed in this application is as follows:

[0058] Start the drive roller 100 so that the drive roller 100 rotates around its own axis. The drive roller 100 drives the conveyor belt 20 to move and places the goods at the end of the setting slide plate 200 of the conveyor belt 20. The goods are transported along the conveyor belt 20 under the drive of the conveyor belt 20.

[0059] As can be seen from the above usage process of the conveying mechanism 1, the conveying mechanism 1 proposed in this application provides a sliding plate 200 at the end of the conveyor frame 10 corresponding to the end of the conveyor belt 20 that receives goods, and provides support rollers 300 at other positions of the conveyor frame 10 to support the conveyor belt 20 and complete the goods transportation. This can avoid the problem that the inner layer of the conveyor belt 20 is easily damaged by external impact during the placement of luggage or packages in the roller conveyor mechanism 1; it can also avoid the problem that the contact surface between the sliding plate 200 and the conveyor belt 20 is too large during the transportation of luggage or packages in the sliding plate conveyor mechanism 1, which can easily cause the inner layer of the conveyor belt 20 to wear too quickly.

[0060] In addition, the conveying mechanism 1 of this application is provided with a connecting roller 400 on the outer side of the conveyor belt 20, which can connect multiple conveying mechanisms 1 end to end to realize long-distance transportation of goods. The connecting roller 400 can be provided near the drive roller 100, or at the auxiliary roller 102, or at both of the above locations.

[0061] In summary, the conveying mechanism proposed in this application includes a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt, a drive roller, at least one sliding plate, and a support roller. The conveyor belt is mounted on the conveyor frame and can move around the conveyor frame to transport goods. The drive roller is located at one end of the conveyor frame and drives the conveyor belt. The sliding plate is located at the end of the conveyor frame corresponding to the end where the conveyor belt receives goods. The support roller is located at the portion of the conveyor frame without the sliding plate and is used to support the conveyor belt. The conveying mechanism of this application, by providing a sliding plate at the end of the conveyor frame corresponding to the end where the conveyor belt receives goods and providing support rollers at other positions on the conveyor frame to support the conveyor belt, completes the goods transport. This avoids the problem of roller-type conveyors where the inner layer of the conveyor belt is easily damaged by external impacts during the placement of luggage or packages; it also avoids the problem of sliding plate-type conveyors where the contact area between the sliding plate and the belt is too large, easily causing premature wear of the inner layer of the belt during the transport of luggage or packages. The conveying mechanism of this application has a longer conveyor belt service life, a more stable and reliable transport process, high transport efficiency, and low transport cost.
