Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics and transportation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a roller conveyor for luggage transport. Background Technology
[0002] During the operation of the baggage system, the pallets change paths as they pass through the diversion and merging points. The roller conveyors at the diversion and merging points drive the rollers synchronously via a drive motor that drives a synchronous belt.
[0003] Currently, the roller conveyors in the baggage handling system (ICS) use an electric motor to power a drive shaft, which in turn drives the rollers by winding a timing belt around positioning and drive wheels, thus transporting the pallets. This transmission method requires a motor to drive multiple rollers, placing high demands on the motor and timing belt. Prolonged use leads to significant wear on the timing belt and positioning wheels, resulting in a higher failure rate. This is especially true when dealing with large volumes of baggage, as it affects a wider area and increases the likelihood of delays in baggage handling. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a roller conveyor device for baggage transport, which aims to solve the problems of high power requirements, large wear of synchronous belts and positioning wheels, and high failure rate of existing baggage transport systems (ICS) roller conveyor transmission methods.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A baggage conveying roller conveyor includes: a frame, a drive mechanism, and a roller mechanism, wherein the roller mechanism is mounted on the frame, and the drive mechanism is connected to two rollers of the roller mechanism;
[0007] The roller mechanism includes a first driving roller, a second driving roller, and a driven roller. The driven roller is disposed between the driving rollers, and both the first driving roller and the second driving roller are connected to the drive mechanism.
[0008] Optionally, the frame includes several frame units, and the first drive roller and the second drive roller are mounted on the same frame unit.
[0009] Optionally, the first drive roller and the second drive roller are respectively disposed on two adjacent sections of the frame unit.
[0010] Optionally, there are several driven rollers, which are spaced apart between the first driving roller and the second driving roller.
[0011] Optionally, the frame is provided with bearing seats, and both ends of the first drive roller and the second drive roller are adapted to the bearing seats.
[0012] Optionally, the driving mechanism includes: a driving component, a first transmission component, and a second transmission component, wherein both ends of the first transmission component are respectively connected to the first drive roller and the driving component, and both ends of the second transmission component are respectively connected to the second drive roller and the driving component.
[0013] Optionally, both the first transmission component and the second transmission component are synchronous belts. The drive component is provided with a double-groove pulley, and both the first drive roller and the second drive roller are provided with a single-groove pulley. The first transmission component is connected to the double-groove pulley and the single-groove pulley on the first drive roller, respectively, and the second transmission component is connected to the double-groove pulley and the single-groove pulley on the second drive roller, respectively.
[0014] Optionally, both the first transmission component and the second transmission component are flexible belts.
[0015] Optionally, the drive component is an electric motor.
[0016] Optionally, the frame is provided with two guide rails, the roller mechanism is disposed between the two guide rails, and the guide rails are adapted to the tray of the luggage system.
[0017] The technical solution of this utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0018] Reduced power requirements and wear: The first and second drive rollers are connected to the drive mechanism, and the two drive rollers transmit power to the driven rollers through contact, thereby driving the entire roller mechanism to operate, which greatly reduces the power burden on the drive mechanism; at the same time, it reduces the friction contact points between the timing belt and the positioning wheel, reduces the degree of wear under long-term use, and extends the service life of the equipment.
[0019] Improved system stability and reliability: By reducing intermediate links in power transmission, the system operates more smoothly, reducing the failure rate caused by wear of timing belts or positioning wheels. Even with a large amount of luggage, it can maintain high operating efficiency and stability, reducing the risk of luggage check-in delays.
[0020] Easy to maintain and service: Due to its relatively simple structure, it is easier to maintain and service. For example, when it is necessary to replace the timing belt or check the positioning wheel, only the transmission part directly connected to the drive roller needs to be operated, without disassembling the entire roller mechanism.
[0021] Highly adaptable: By adjusting the number and arrangement of driven rollers, it can flexibly adapt to luggage pallets of different sizes and weights, ensuring stable and efficient conveying under various working conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 A baggage conveying roller conveyor includes: a frame 1, a drive mechanism 2, and a roller mechanism. The roller mechanism is mounted on the frame 1, and the drive mechanism 2 is connected to two rollers of the roller mechanism.
[0028] In some embodiments, the roller mechanism includes a first driving roller 3, a second driving roller 4, and a driven roller 5. The driven roller 5 is disposed between the driving rollers 3. These rollers are all mounted on the frame 1, forming a continuous conveying path. The first driving roller 3 and the second driving roller 4 are both connected to the drive mechanism 2. The first driving roller 3 and the second driving roller 4 are located at opposite ends of the roller mechanism (or arranged in appropriate positions according to actual needs), and are powered by the drive mechanism 2. The driven roller 5 is disposed between the first driving roller 3 and the second driving roller 4. The driven roller 5 is not directly driven by the drive mechanism 2, but transmits power through contact with the driving rollers to achieve continuous conveying. The number and arrangement of the driven rollers 5 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure the smoothness and efficiency of the conveying.
[0029] In some embodiments, the frame 1 includes several frame units, with the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4 disposed on the same frame unit. One or more frame units may be provided, each with sufficient length and strength to support the roller mechanism and its load. Bearing seats 101 are installed on each frame unit to support and position the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4. The specific positions of the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4 on the same frame unit are determined according to the layout requirements of the baggage conveying system. The two ends of the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4 are respectively installed into the corresponding bearing seats 101 on the frame unit, ensuring they can rotate smoothly and freely. A suitable drive assembly 201, such as an electric motor, is selected as the power source for the entire device. A first transmission assembly 202 and a second transmission assembly 203 are respectively configured for the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4. The first transmission assembly 202 and the second transmission assembly 203 can be synchronous belts, link belts, or other suitable transmission methods. An appropriate number of driven rollers 5 are arranged between the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4 according to the length of the conveying path and load requirements. These driven rollers achieve continuous conveying by contacting the pallet and transmitting power. Based on the results of the trial run, necessary adjustments and optimizations were made to the tension of the transmission components and the alignment of the rollers to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
[0030] In some embodiments, the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4 are respectively mounted on two adjacent frame units. Corresponding bearing seats 101 are installed on the two adjacent frame units to support and position the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4. The first drive roller 3 is installed on the first frame unit. The second drive roller 4 is installed on the second frame unit. These two frame units should be closely adjacent so that the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4 can work together to drive the roller mechanism. The number and arrangement of the driven rollers 5 should be determined according to the length of the conveying path, load requirements, and conveying efficiency. After installation, necessary adjustments and optimizations are made to the tension of the transmission components, the alignment of the rollers, etc.; a trial run is conducted to check whether the roller mechanism runs smoothly, whether continuous conveying can be achieved, and whether there are any abnormal noises or vibrations; based on the results of the trial run, necessary adjustments and improvements are made to ensure the stability and reliability of the system.
[0031] In some embodiments, there are multiple driven rollers 5, which are spaced apart between the first driving roller 3 and the second driving roller 4. The number of driven rollers 5 required can be determined based on the load requirements, conveying speed, and total length of the roller mechanism of the baggage conveying system. The specific positions of the driven rollers 5 between the first driving roller 3 and the second driving roller 4 are determined. These positions should be adjusted according to the size and shape of the baggage pallet and the curvature of the conveying path to ensure that the pallet can be smoothly transferred from one roller to another. The spacing between the driven rollers 5 should be adjusted according to the size of the baggage pallet and the curvature of the conveying path.
[0032] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism 2 includes a drive component 201, a first transmission component 202, and a second transmission component 203. Both ends of the first transmission component 202 are connected to the first drive roller 3 and the drive component 201, respectively, and both ends of the second transmission component 203 are connected to the second drive roller 4 and the drive component 201, respectively.
[0033] In some embodiments, the first transmission component 202 and the second transmission component 203 are both synchronous belts, the drive component 201 is provided with a double-groove pulley, the first drive roller 3 and the second drive roller 4 are both provided with a single-groove pulley, the first transmission component 202 is connected to the double-groove pulley and the single-groove pulley on the first drive roller 3 respectively, and the second transmission component 203 is connected to the double-groove pulley and the single-groove pulley on the second drive roller 4 respectively.
[0034] In some embodiments, the frame 1 is provided with two guide rails, and a roller mechanism is disposed between the two guide rails. The guide rails are adapted to the trays of the baggage system. The length of the guide rails should be determined according to the overall layout and transport requirements of the baggage system to ensure that the entire transport path is covered. The guide rails should be made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to improve their service life and reliability. The spacing between the guide rails should be determined according to the width of the tray to ensure that the tray can be placed stably between the guide rails without wobbling or tilting.
