[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an airworthiness inspection device for aviation container pallets, including a lifting assembly 2 for placing cargo 1 to be scanned, an installation platform 3, a transport assembly 4, at least two scanning assemblies 5, and a processing unit (not shown in the figure). The installation platform 3 has a lifting port 31, which is located on one side of the feed end of the transport assembly 4 and is used to cooperate with the operation of the lifting assembly 2. The transport assembly 4 and the scanning assembly 5 are installed on the installation platform 3, and the two scanning assemblies 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the lifting port 31 so that the scanning plane of the scanning assembly 5 covers the lifting port 31. The lifting assembly 2 is located under the installation platform 3, and the lifting assembly 2 is correspondingly arranged with the lifting port 31. The lifting assembly 2 can move up and down along the extension direction of the lifting port 31 so that when exposed in the lifting port 31, it is aligned with the feed end of the transport assembly 4 to accommodate cargo 1 of different heights. At the same time, when not in use, the lifting assembly 2 can be placed under the installation platform 3 to save space.

[0024] Based on the above structure, the scanning assembly 5 of the embodiment is arranged on both sides of the lifting opening 31 respectively, so as to ensure that when the lifting assembly 2 rises and exposes in the lifting opening 31, the scanning plane of the scanning assembly 5 covers the whole area of the lifting opening 31, thereby achieving comprehensive scanning of the goods 1 passing through this position, and transporting the scanned goods 1 by the transportation assembly 4 to the designated position. The embodiment realizes compact design while maintaining high inspection efficiency by the interaction between the lifting assembly 2 and the mounting platform 3, solves the problem of large space occupation of traditional large fixed devices, and improves the inspection efficiency and accuracy.

[0025] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting assembly 2 includes a first base 21, a lifting platform 22 and a driving structure 23. The first base 21 is used to provide stable support and bear the weight of the whole lifting assembly 2. In addition, the first base 21 is fixed below the mounting platform 3 to ensure the safety and stability of the lifting operation. The first base 21 is connected with the lifting platform 22 through the driving structure 23, so that the lifting platform 22 moves up and down along the extension direction of the lifting opening 31. When the lifting platform 22 rises, it will pass through the lifting opening 31 on the mounting platform 3, and finally align with the feeding end of the transportation assembly 4, so that the goods 1 to be scanned can be smoothly transferred to the transportation assembly 4. The lifting platform 22 can be completely retracted under the mounting platform 3 when not in use, and the height of the whole device is significantly reduced, saving a lot of vertical space.

[0026] Based on the above structure, the driving structure 23 of the embodiment is started after receiving the instruction from the processing unit, and makes the lifting platform 22 rise or fall smoothly along the predetermined path through the internal mechanical transmission or hydraulic system, so as to ensure that the lifting platform 22 can accurately reach the designated position even under load conditions.

[0027] It should be noted that the goods 1 can be placed on the lifting platform 22 by an aviation pallet, or directly placed on the lifting platform 22. The embodiment is described by taking the placement on the aviation pallet as an example.

[0028] Further, the driving structure 23 of the embodiment comprises two support members 231, a first driving member (not shown in the figure) and a motion speed encoder (not shown in the figure). The two support members 231 are arranged in a cross shape, one end of each support member 231 is hinged to the first base 21, and the other end is hinged to the lifting platform 22. At least one support member 231 is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member, forming a scissors-like structure. The first driving member is responsible for providing power to drive the support member 231 to rotate relative to the first base 21 through the rotation of its output shaft, and to drive the lifting platform 22 to move up and down. The motion speed encoder is installed on the support member 231 to monitor the rotation angle of the support member 231 in real time, so as to detect the lifting height of the lifting platform 22, ensuring that the lifting platform 22 can accurately reach the predetermined height position. The motion speed encoder, the first driving member and the processing unit are electrically connected, so that the processing unit can receive real-time data and make corresponding control instructions accordingly.

[0029] The support member 231 of the embodiment serves as a medium for force transmission, converting the power from the first driving member into vertical movement of the lifting platform 22. Through the cross-hinged structure, the support member 231 can achieve a larger stroke change in a smaller space, thereby effectively saving space. The first driving member of the embodiment can be a device capable of producing rotary motion, such as a motor or a hydraulic motor. Understandably, the motion speed encoder of the embodiment can also measure the rotation speed of the support member 231, helping to adjust the working state of the first driving member to maintain stability and safety during lifting.

[0030] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the driving structure 23 can also use, for example, a hydraulic cylinder, an electric push rod, a screw elevator or other driving structures 23.

[0031] Further, the lifting platform 22 comprises a platform body 221 and a plurality of first rollers 222. The platform body 221 serves as a bearing and support platform, which is directly connected to the driving structure 23 and moves vertically through the movement of the support member 231. The plurality of first rollers 222 are arranged in sequence and at intervals along the length direction of the platform body 221, ensuring that the support points are evenly distributed on the entire platform surface, thereby providing stable support for the air cargo pallet placed thereon. When the air cargo pallet is placed on or removed from the lifting platform 22, the first rollers 222 can significantly reduce the friction between the two, making the loading and unloading process smoother and reducing the damage to the surface of the pallet. In addition, the presence of the rollers allows the air cargo pallet to easily slide in the horizontal direction, especially during the process of transferring the pallet from the lifting platform 22 to the transport assembly 4, or vice versa, which not only improves the operation efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity of the workers.

[0032] As Figure 4As shown, the scanning assembly 5 comprises a bracket 51, a scanning unit 52 and a mounting seat 53, the bracket 51 is responsible for supporting the entire scanning unit 52 and ensuring its stability and accuracy, it is mounted on the mounting platform 3, the scanning unit 52 is mounted on the bracket 51 through the mounting seat 53, and is used to obtain the physical characteristic data of the air cargo pallet, such as size and shape, etc. When the lifting platform 22 lifts the goods 1 to be scanned to the transportation assembly 4 and aligns with the scanning area, the scanning unit 52 starts to work, generates detailed images or data models by emitting signals and receiving reflected information. It can be understood that the scanning modeling method adopted in the embodiment can be realized by the existing scanning modeling method, and the implementation thereof will not be particularly limited here.

[0033] For your reference Figure 5 The scanning assembly 5 further comprises a second driving member 54 and a connecting frame 55, the connecting frame 55 is mounted on the bracket 51 and serves as a bridge between the mounting seat 53 and the bracket 51, providing an additional support structure, the mounting seat 53 and the connecting frame 55 are connected through the second driving member 54 to drive the mounting seat 53 to rotate relative to the connecting frame 55, so that the scanning unit 52 can change the angle within a certain range to adapt to different scanning requirements.

[0034] Based on the above structure, when the second driving member 54 is started, it will drive the mounting seat 53 to rotate around the axis on the connecting frame 55, so that the scanning unit 52 covers a wider angle range, ensuring comprehensive detection of the air cargo pallet. The second driving member 54 of the embodiment can be a motor or other equipment capable of providing rotary motion, and can receive instructions from the processing unit through the control system to realize precise control of the rotation angle of the mounting seat 53.

[0035] Further, a first included angle is formed between the connecting frame 55 and the bracket 51, so that the scanning planes of the scanning units 52 cover the position of the lifting port 31, and the scanning planes of the two scanning units 52 intersect to help the scanning units 52 to be at a suitable detection angle, improve the detection accuracy and reliability, and the first included angle is preferably 110-150°.

[0036] Further, the scanning unit 52 comprises a line laser 521 and a camera 522, the line laser 521 and the camera 522 are arranged at the mounting seat 53, ensuring that the camera 522 will not be disturbed by the strong light directly emitted by the line laser 521, while clearly capturing the reflected laser lines, and the camera 522 is arranged towards the scanning plane of the line laser 521, ensuring that the camera 522 can always track and record the laser lines generated by the line laser 521 when the scanning unit 52 moves or rotates.

[0037] The line laser 521 of the embodiment emits an elongated laser beam (usually red or green), forming a linear light strip, which is projected onto the surface of the object to be detected (such as the cargo 1) and reflected by the scanning object surface. According to the ups and downs of the object surface, the reflected laser lines will be deformed accordingly. The camera 522 is used to capture the laser line image generated by the line laser 521, which is installed on the mounting seat 53, and the lens thereof is aligned with the scanning plane of the line laser 521, ensuring that the reflected laser lines can be accurately captured. By using existing image processing algorithms, the image data can be analyzed to extract information about the surface characteristics of the object, such as size, contour, etc.

[0038] Further, the transportation assembly 4 comprises a second base 41, a third driving member (not shown in the figure), a plurality of second rollers 42 and a chain structure (not shown in the figure). The second base 41 provides a bearing and supporting function. The plurality of second rollers 42 are arranged along the length direction of the second base 41 and are sequentially and spacedly arranged on the second base 41, ensuring that the support points are uniformly distributed on the entire transportation path, providing stable support for the air cargo pallet placed thereon. The chain structure is connected between the second rollers 42, ensuring coordinated movement between all the rollers. When one roller is driven, the other rollers will also rotate, ensuring smoothness during transportation. The third driving member is connected with the chain structure to drive all the second rollers 42 to rotate, thereby pushing the air cargo pallet to move forward along the second base 41. The third driving member of the embodiment can be a motor or other equipment capable of providing driving force.

[0039] Further, the transportation assembly 4 further comprises a plurality of support bars 43, which are arranged along the length direction of the second base 41 and are sequentially and spacedly arranged on the second base 41, ensuring that continuous support is provided on the entire transportation path, reducing the pressure borne by a single roller, thereby reducing the risk of roller wear and prolonging the service life of the equipment. The support bars 43 are arranged alternately with the second rollers 42, ensuring that there is sufficient support even at the gap between the rollers, preventing the transported cargo 1 from sinking or becoming unstable.

[0040] In summary, the aviation pallet airworthiness inspection device provided by the embodiment of the present application has the scanning assembly 5 arranged on both sides of the lifting opening 31, ensuring that when the lifting assembly 2 rises and is exposed to the lifting opening 31, the scanning plane of the scanning assembly 5 covers the entire area of the lifting opening 31, thereby achieving comprehensive scanning of the cargo 1 passing through this position. The cargo 1 scanned by the transportation assembly 4 is transported to the designated position. The embodiment utilizes the interaction between the lifting assembly 2 and the mounting platform 3, achieving compact design while maintaining high efficiency of inspection. The problem of large space occupation of traditional large fixed devices is solved, and the inspection efficiency and accuracy are improved.

[0041] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and replacements can be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
