Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of air conditioning, specifically to a boarding bridge air conditioner based on flight dynamic information control. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial passageway connecting airport terminals and aircraft, the comfort of the boarding bridge's interior environment directly impacts the travel experience for passengers and the operational efficiency of staff. Maintaining a suitable temperature and air quality within the boarding bridge is especially vital under extreme weather conditions (such as extreme cold, heat, rain, and snow).
[0003] During the operation of specific embodiments, the inventors discovered the following defects:
[0004] The system turns the air conditioning on or off in advance based on a preset flight schedule (such as estimated departure / arrival times). This method heavily relies on the accuracy of the flight schedule. When flights are delayed, advanced, canceled, or the gate is changed at the last minute, the air conditioning system cannot respond in time, resulting in:
[0005] Energy waste: The air conditioning continues to run even after the aircraft has not docked at the bridge or has already departed (significant "empty waste"), resulting in a large amount of ineffective energy consumption.
[0006] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0015] Furthermore, the air conditioning structure includes an air conditioning body, an air conditioning chamber inside the air conditioning body, an air inlet on one side of the air conditioning body, and a rotating barrel rotatably connected inside the air conditioning chamber.
[0016] Furthermore, the outer wall of the rotating barrel is provided with an air inlet groove, the interior of the air inlet groove is provided with a water absorption plate, the outer wall of the rotating barrel is provided with a guide groove, and the outer wall of the rotating barrel is provided with an inclined strip.
[0017] 3. Beneficial effects:
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:
[0019] This utility model uses a controller installed in the air conditioning structure to control the start and stop of the air conditioning, and is connected to the flight dynamic information control device. The start and stop of the air conditioning can be controlled according to the real-time flight information of the flight dynamic information control device. Its core is to make full use of the existing high-precision flight dynamic information of the airport to achieve intelligent, precise and on-demand control of the air conditioning system.

[0031] See attached document Figure 1-4 An air conditioning system for a boarding bridge based on flight dynamic information control includes an air conditioning outlet structure 1. An air conditioning structure 2 is installed on one side of the air conditioning outlet structure 1. A controller is installed inside the air conditioning structure 2. The controller is electrically connected to the air conditioning structure 2 and to a flight dynamic information control device, as shown in the figure below. The controller consists of a local PLC controller for the boarding bridge and an edge computing controller, which are electrically connected. The local PLC controller for the boarding bridge is connected to the network management system, aircraft parking controller, etc. The aircraft parking controller is located on the aircraft apron. The central gateway accesses the airport AODB in real time through the OPCUA protocol or RESTful API to obtain real-time information on flight number, aircraft type, planned / actual docking time, docking time, and parking position number.

[0044]
[0045] Furthermore, the air conditioner outlet structure 1 includes an outlet housing 101. A positioning plate 106 is provided on one side of the outlet housing 101. Positioning holes 107 are provided at the four corners of the positioning plate 106. The positioning plate 106 on one side of the outlet housing 101 is attached to the top of the boarding bridge. Then, the positioning holes 107 are aligned with the pre-drilled holes. Bolts are then inserted into the positioning plate 106 and the holes to fix the outlet housing 101, thereby completing the installation of the outlet housing 101.
[0046] Furthermore, mounting chambers 103 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the air outlet housing 101. Mounting grooves 102 are provided at the connection positions between the mounting chambers 103 and the air outlet housing 101. Rotating fan blades 104 are rotatably connected between the two mounting grooves 102. The number of rotating fan blades 104 is set to multiple. Synchronous transmission devices 105 are provided between the multiple rotating fan blades 104. A motor is provided inside the mounting chambers 103. The motor is connected to the rotating fan blades 104 through the synchronous transmission devices 105. During the operation of the air conditioning structure 2, the motor is started, and the motor drives the synchronous transmission devices 105 to rotate. The synchronous transmission devices 105 drive the rotating fan blades 104 to rotate inside the air outlet housing 101, so that the interior of the air outlet housing 101 is opened, so that the air discharged by the air conditioner can be discharged through the gaps of the rotating fan blades 104. Conversely, the rotating fan blades 104 are perpendicular to each other to seal the air outlet housing 101. The reciprocating rotation of the motor can adjust the angle of the rotating fan blades 104 and adjust the position of the air outlet.
[0047] Furthermore, side plates 108 are provided on the top and bottom of both sides of the air outlet housing 101, and a mounting plate 112 is provided between the two side plates 108. The mounting plate 112 and the side plates 108 are connected by a snap-fit connection. Synchronous wheels 109 are rotatably connected to both sides inside the air outlet housing 101. A filter screen 110 is provided between the two synchronous wheels 109. A synchronous belt 111 is provided on the top and bottom of the filter screen 110. When gas is discharged from the air conditioning structure 2, the gas first passes through the filter screen 110. The filter screen 110 filters dust, lint, etc. inside the gas. After the filter screen 110 has been used for a long time, it will affect the gas flow. Later, the surface of the filter screen 110 needs to be cleaned. The mounting plate 112 is removed by the snap-fit structure, and then the synchronous wheel 109 is rotated manually. The synchronous wheel 109 drives the filter screen 110 to move to one side of the side plate 108, so that the filter screen 110 is exposed. Then the surface of the filter screen 110 is cleaned.
[0048] Furthermore, the air conditioning structure 2 includes an air conditioning body 201. A water vapor chamber 202 is formed inside the air conditioning body 201. An air inlet is formed on one side of the air conditioning body 201. A rotating barrel 203 is rotatably connected inside the water vapor chamber 202. An air inlet groove 204 is formed on the outer wall of the rotating barrel 203. A water-absorbing plate is provided inside the air inlet groove 204. A guide groove 205 is formed on the outer wall of the rotating barrel 203. An inclined strip 206 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating barrel 203. After external air enters the water vapor chamber 202, it first passes through the water-absorbing plate inside the air inlet groove 204. The water-absorbing plate can circulate the air. The system performs a first filtration, drawing moisture from the air as it passes through the water-absorbing plate, thus increasing humidity. A motor is located on one side of the air conditioner body 201, with its output connected to the rotating drum 203. Purified water is placed at the bottom of the water-air chamber 202. When the motor is started, it rotates the rotating drum 203, causing the water-absorbing plate and inclined strip 206 to pass through the water at the bottom of the inner wall of the water-air chamber 202 and store the water inside the guide groove 205. As the rotating drum 203 rotates, it causes the opening of the inclined strip 206 to face downwards, allowing the water inside the guide groove 205 to flow out, thus performing secondary humidification and dust removal of the air.
[0049] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
