Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of baggage handling robot technology, and in particular to an intelligent airport large baggage handling robot. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous growth of air passenger traffic, airport baggage handling systems face multiple challenges in terms of efficiency, automation, and flexibility. Among these challenges, the handling of large and oversized baggage is particularly difficult. Due to their large size, heavy weight, and irregular shape, such baggage cannot be transported through standard baggage conveyor systems. Currently, it mainly relies on manual operation of forklifts or trailers for handling, which is not only inefficient but also poses a high risk of baggage damage and personnel safety, while labor costs are also increasing.
[0003] To improve the automation level of baggage handling, some intelligent handling devices have been gradually applied in airport environments. For example, Chinese patent "CN110667877B" discloses "An Airport Baggage Self-Service Check-in Vehicle Group," which can realize the automatic check-in of airport baggage, eliminating the cumbersome procedures of manual check-in at the counter. It can also interface with baggage check-in stations to automatically complete baggage unloading, efficient transfer, and subsequent security checks, saving workload for airport staff. While it can free up manpower and improve efficiency to a certain extent, it lacks the ability to adjust its working mode according to baggage type and size, and can only realize the automatic transfer of ordinary baggage, resulting in poor adaptability when handling baggage of different sizes. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent airport large baggage handling robot, which solves the problem of poor adaptability of existing baggage handling devices.

Two rollers at both ends of each mounting plate are connected by a drive belt, and the mounting plate is provided with a driver connected to the rollers to drive the drive belt to transport luggage along the length of the rectangular frame.
[0009] The load-bearing unit, located at the bottom of the rectangular frame, is used to drive the rectangular frame to move.
[0010] Preferably, there are two transport units and three mounting plates.
[0011] Preferably, the transport unit also includes multiple connecting beams, each connecting beam being connected between the mounting plates.
[0012] Preferably, multiple support blocks are provided between each connecting beam, and support plates are provided on the multiple support blocks.

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] This utility model embodiment proposes an intelligent airport large baggage handling robot, including:
[0035] Rectangular frame 3;
[0036] At least two transport units are arranged along the length of the rectangular frame 3. Each transport unit includes at least three mounting plates 202 arranged along the width of the rectangular frame 3 and multiple rollers 203 rotatably arranged between adjacent mounting plates 202. The two rollers 203 at both ends of each mounting plate 202 are connected by a transmission belt 2. The mounting plate 202 is provided with a driver connected to the rollers 203 for driving the transmission belt 2 to transport luggage along the length of the rectangular frame 3.
[0037] The supporting unit is located at the bottom of the rectangular frame 3 and is used to drive the rectangular frame 3 to move.
[0038] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, multiple conveying units are arranged along the length of the rectangular frame 3. Each mounting plate 202 of each conveying unit is distributed at intervals along the width of the rectangular frame 3. Two rollers 203 are arranged between every two mounting plates 202. The two rollers 203 are respectively installed at both ends of the mounting plate 202 and connected by a transmission belt 2. The two rollers 203 and the transmission belt 2 sleeved on them form a transmission unit. The conveying unit is composed of multiple transmission units. In terms of driving the transmission unit, a driver can be set on one roller 203 in a transmission unit, or a driver can be set on each roller 203. The driver is preferably a motor. All motors are controlled to open and close by a controller. When the motor rotates, it drives the transmission belt 2 to move between the two rollers 203.
[0039] Each transmission unit's transmission belt 2 can be driven independently. That is, when all the handling units are driven, oversized luggage can be loaded, handled, and unloaded. Multiple handling units are set along the length of the rectangular frame 3 to accommodate the length of large luggage, while the handling units formed by multiple mounting plates 202 can accommodate the width of large luggage.
[0040] To reduce the size of the handling robot and accommodate the size of regular luggage, preferably, there are two handling units and three mounting plates 202. When there are three mounting plates 202, one handling unit contains two drive belts 2, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the two drive belts 2 of one handling unit are A and C, and the two drive belts 2 of the other handling unit are B and D. When handling oversized luggage, the two handling units can be controlled simultaneously, that is, the drive belts 2 at positions A, B, C, and D can be driven, so that each drive belt 2 can load and transfer the oversized luggage synchronously. When handling long and thin luggage, the two handling units can be controlled simultaneously, but unlike when loading oversized luggage, only the drive belts 2 at positions A and B or positions C and D of the two handling units need to be controlled to load and transfer the long and thin luggage. When handling ordinary luggage, loading and transfer can be carried out by only one or two drive belts 2 of one handling unit. It is not only widely applicable, but when handling long and thin luggage and ordinary luggage, the other drive belts 2 that are not involved in the handling stop working, reducing power consumption.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the handling unit also includes multiple connecting beams 201, each connecting beam 201 being connected between each mounting plate 202. The multiple mounting plates 202 are fixed to each other through the connecting beams 201, forming a sturdy integral frame. This effectively prevents individual mounting plates 202 from deforming, shifting, or twisting due to uneven stress when bearing heavy luggage, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire handling unit.
[0042] Secondly, the drive belt 2 will sag in the non-roller supported section due to the pressure of the luggage weight, so, Figure 4 As shown, multiple support blocks 5 are provided between each connecting beam 201, and support plates 501 are provided on the multiple support blocks 5, providing uniform support for the entire working surface of the transmission belt 2, thereby improving transmission efficiency and service life. However, since the support plate 501 is a component with a large area, its mass has a significant impact on the overall weight of the robot's upper structure. Therefore, the support plate 501 is provided with several weight-reduction holes 502, which can effectively reduce the material used in the support plate 501, thereby reducing the overall weight.
[0043] Specifically, the connection between the rectangular frame 3 and the mounting plate 202 can be fixed by welding, but for ease of disassembly and maintenance later, such as Figure 5 As shown, L-shaped plates 4 are provided on both sides of the rectangular frame 3. Two mounting plates 202 located on both sides of the handling unit abut against the two L-shaped plates 4 respectively and are connected to each other by bolts. By fixing the L-shaped plates 4 to both sides of the rectangular frame 3, a mounting base structure is formed, allowing the entire handling unit to be limited between the two L-shaped plates 4 by the mounting plates 202 on both sides and rigidly connected by bolts. This not only facilitates the initial assembly and subsequent disassembly and maintenance, but also effectively transfers and disperses the load of the handling unit and the impact force during operation to the rectangular frame 3, enhancing stability.
[0044] Secondly, both mounting plates 202 on both sides of the transport unit are equipped with positioning pins 401, and both L-shaped plates 4 are equipped with positioning grooves 402. The positioning pins 401 are engaged with the positioning grooves 402. Before installing the bolts, by engaging the positioning pins 401 with the positioning grooves 402, the transport unit can be quickly guided to the accurate installation position without repeated adjustments to the alignment, which simplifies the assembly process and reduces the installation time.
[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side of the L-shaped plate 4 is also provided with a mounting shell 6. The mounting shell 6 is provided with mounting holes 601 for mounting sensors. In actual use, photoelectric sensors can be installed on the mounting holes 601 to form a photoelectric detection system for detecting the position and status of luggage, thereby realizing the positioning and detection function of luggage. The installation and application of photoelectric sensors are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail.
[0046] Specifically, because a single rectangular frame 3 is prone to bending deformation when subjected to concentrated loads in the middle (such as heavy luggage), therefore, as Figure 3As shown, the rectangular frame 3 has a main beam 301 along its length. Several distribution beams 302 are provided on the sides of the main beam 301. The ends of each distribution beam 302 are connected to the sides of the rectangular frame 3. The distribution beams 302 connect the main beam 301 to the sides of the rectangular frame 3, and distribute and transfer the load borne by the main beam 301 evenly to the entire frame structure, avoiding stress concentration and enhancing the torsional stiffness of the rectangular frame 3.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the supporting unit includes a base 1, the top of which is connected to the main beam 301 and each distribution beam 302. The base 1 is provided with several rollers 101 for movement. Under the action of the rollers 101, the entire handling robot can be moved through the supporting unit. At the same time, a navigation system, scheduling system and control system can be installed on the base 1. The rollers 101 have a power source, preferably a motor. Combined with the navigation system, scheduling system and control system, automated walking is achieved. The navigation system, scheduling system and control system, as well as the transmission connection between the power source and the rollers 101 are all existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail.
[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
