Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of public charging facilities, specifically to charging facility devices for airport terminals. Background Technology

[0002] In the mobile internet era, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices have become essential items for modern travelers. These devices are especially important during long-distance travel, leading to a growing demand for charging these devices while passengers wait in airport terminals.

[0003] However, the charging facilities in most airport terminals currently have many problems and cannot meet the charging needs of passengers. First, airport terminals lack dedicated areas for placing electronic devices, forcing passengers to place their devices haphazardly on the ground while charging. This not only easily damages the devices but also poses a safety hazard due to them being stepped on. Second, most charging facilities in airport terminals are installed at the base of walls. When passengers use their devices while charging, they often have to adopt uncomfortable postures such as squatting or bending over, which not only causes inconvenience but may also lead to physical fatigue and discomfort.

[0004] Furthermore, during peak tourist seasons, the number of charging facilities in airport terminals is insufficient to meet the simultaneous charging needs of numerous passengers. This inadequacy not only inconveniences passengers but also negatively impacts the airport's service quality and the overall travel experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a charging facility device for airport terminals, which can effectively prevent electronic devices from being damaged by being placed on the ground during charging, while improving the comfort of passengers charging and meeting the needs of many passengers charging at the same time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] 1) A charging facility for an airport terminal building, comprising a long, narrow table and a power supply. The upper surface of the table is provided with a charging box extending along its length. The charging box is located at the center of the upper surface of the table. The charging box and the table have an inverted T-shaped cross-section. The side wall of the charging box has several charging holes along its length. Each charging hole is provided with a socket. All sockets are electrically connected to the power supply. The lower surface of the table is provided with a support frame.

[0008] In this invention, the side wall of the charging box has several charging holes along its length, and each charging hole contains a socket. These sockets provide charging interfaces for passengers, allowing them to easily insert the charging plug of electronic devices into the sockets to charge the electronic devices.

[0009] Because of the large number of charging ports, it can simultaneously meet the charging needs of a large number of passengers for their electronic devices. In airport terminals with high passenger density and a high demand for charging, this setup can effectively improve the utilization efficiency of charging facilities and reduce passenger waiting time for charging.

[0010] The charging box and tabletop have an inverted T-shaped cross-section. This design creates a stable connection between the charging box and the tabletop while providing more usable space for passengers. While charging their electronic devices, passengers can place them and other items on either side of the charging box on the tabletop. This avoids potential damage from placing electronic devices directly on the ground, thus better protecting their devices and preventing safety hazards caused by them being stepped on.

[0011] The support frame provides necessary support for the tabletop and charging box, giving them a certain height so that passengers can comfortably charge their devices whether standing or sitting. At the same time, the support frame also stably supports the tabletop and items placed on it, ensuring the charging facility remains stable during use and preventing tilting or collapse due to heavy loads, thus improving safety and comfort.

[0012] 2) The charging facility device for airport terminals as described in 1), wherein:

[0013] The support frame includes a support plate arranged along the length of the lower surface of the tabletop. The support plate is perpendicular to the tabletop. Vertical plates are provided at both ends of the support plate. The two vertical plates are located on the same side of the support plate, and the bottom of the two vertical plates are connected to a base plate.

[0014] In this invention, the support plate is perpendicular to the tabletop and can directly bear the weight of the tabletop and the items placed on it. Vertical plates are provided at both ends of the support plate, and the two vertical plates are located on the same side of the support plate. The support plate and the two vertical plates are connected to form a stable overall structure, which can evenly distribute the weight of the tabletop and the items on it, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire charging facility.

[0015] Meanwhile, the two vertical plates ensure that the weight of the table and its contents is evenly distributed on both sides, preventing imbalance caused by excessive force on one side and thus avoiding tilting or instability during charging. The base plate connects the bottoms of the two vertical plates, further enhancing the stability of the entire support frame. The support plate, vertical plates, and base plate together form a robust support frame structure. This structural design ensures stability during charging, guaranteeing that the table and its contents are not affected by wobbling or tilting.

[0016] 3) The charging facility device for airport terminals as described in 2), wherein:

[0017] The support plate has several partitions along its length on its side, and the partitions are located between two vertical plates, dividing the internal space of the support frame into several box-shaped structures.

[0018] In this invention, several partitions are provided on the side of the support plate along its length, with the partitions located between two vertical plates. The partitions effectively distribute the weight of the tabletop and the items on it, preventing deformation or damage to the tabletop and support frame structure due to excessive local stress, thereby enhancing the stability of this invention.

[0019] In practical applications, this utility model will be equipped with several chairs for passengers to rest while charging their devices. The partition panels divide the internal space of the support frame into several box-like structures. When passengers are sitting on the chairs charging their electronic devices, they can comfortably place their feet in these box-like structures, thereby improving the user experience.

[0020] 4) The charging facility device for airport terminals as described in 1), wherein:

[0021] It also includes a microprocessor and several current sensors corresponding to the sockets. The current sensors are connected to the corresponding sockets via wires. The upper surface of the tabletop has several grooves corresponding to the charging holes. Each groove has a detection mechanism. The detection mechanism and the current sensors are electrically connected to the microprocessor. The top of the detection mechanism has a weighing plate. The upper surface of the weighing plate is flush with the upper surface of the tabletop.

[0022] In this invention, a current sensor is connected to a corresponding socket via a wire. The current sensor can monitor the current flowing through the socket in real time, thereby determining whether an electronic device is connected to the socket and charging. When an item is placed on the placement plate, the detection mechanism monitors the weight of the item, which is taken as the initial weight value, and sends this weight data to the microprocessor.

[0023] Meanwhile, a current sensor continuously monitors the current flowing through the socket. When the current sensor detects current flowing through it, indicating that an electronic device is charging, it sends a signal to the microprocessor. Upon receiving this signal, the microprocessor sends a command to the detection mechanism to pause the real-time monitoring of the weight of items on the placement plate. This measure effectively saves energy, thereby reducing operating costs.

[0024] When the current sensor detects the disappearance of current, it indicates that the electronic device has stopped charging. At this point, the current sensor sends a signal to the microprocessor again. Upon receiving the signal, the microprocessor commands the detection mechanism to restart weight detection and transmits the detected weight data to the microprocessor. The microprocessor analyzes and processes the received weight data. If the detected weight value is between 0 and the initial weight value, it indicates that there are still items left on the placement plate after charging has ended.

[0025] The next step in the process involves further handling of the situation. This setup allows charging facilities to promptly detect items left behind after charging is complete. This intelligent monitoring method improves overall user satisfaction with charging facilities, significantly enhancing the user experience.

[0026] 5) The charging facility device for airport terminals as described in 4), wherein:

[0027] The detection mechanism includes a pressure sensor and a buzzer. Both the pressure sensor and the buzzer are fixed to the bottom of the groove. The top surface of the pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the placement plate. The pressure sensor is connected to a power supply battery via a wire. The buzzer is electrically connected to a power supply. Each socket is connected to a current sensor. The pressure sensor, the buzzer, and the current sensor are all electrically connected to a microprocessor.

[0028] In this invention, when an item is placed on the placement plate, the plate transfers its weight to a pressure sensor below. The pressure sensor detects the weight and sends an initial weight value to the microprocessor. Simultaneously, a current sensor continuously monitors the current flowing through the socket. When the current sensor detects current flow, it sends a signal to the microprocessor. Upon receiving this signal, the microprocessor commands the pressure sensor to pause detection and disconnect from the power supply battery, thereby saving energy and reducing operating costs.

[0029] When the current sensor detects the disappearance of current, it indicates that the electronic device has stopped charging. At this point, the current sensor sends a signal to the microprocessor again. Upon receiving the signal, the microprocessor commands the pressure sensor to restart weight detection and transmits the detected weight data to the microprocessor.

[0030] The microprocessor analyzes and processes the received weight data. If the detected weight value is between 0 and the initial weight value, it indicates that an item has been left on the shelf after charging is complete. The microprocessor then randomly sends a command to the buzzer, which sounds an alarm to remind the passenger that an item has been left behind, thereby improving the user experience and the safety of the items.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, this utility model also has the following technical effects:

[0032] In this invention, the charging box and the tabletop have an inverted T-shaped cross-section. This design not only enhances the stability of the connection between the two but also provides passengers with more usable space. Compared with existing technologies, this invention allows passengers to place charging electronic devices and other items on both sides of the charging box on the tabletop, avoiding potential damage from direct placement on the ground and eliminating safety hazards caused by devices being stepped on. Furthermore, the numerous charging ports allow multiple passengers to charge their electronic devices simultaneously.

[0033] The support frame provides an appropriate height for the table and charging box, allowing passengers to charge comfortably whether standing or sitting. Furthermore, through the coordinated operation of a microprocessor, current sensor, and pressure sensor, items left behind after charging can be detected promptly, and an audible alert will sound to remind passengers that items have been forgotten, thus improving user experience and item security.

[0036] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0037] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: tabletop 1, charging box 2, charging through hole 3, support plate 4, vertical plate 5, bottom plate 6, partition 7, placement plate 8, groove 9, pressure sensor 10, and buzzer 11.

[0038] See the example. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the charging facility device for an airport terminal in this embodiment includes a long table 1 and a power supply. The upper surface of the table 1 is provided with a charging box 2 extending along its length. The charging box 2 is located at the center of the upper surface of the table 1. The charging box 2 and the table 1 have an inverted T-shaped cross-section. The side wall of the charging box 2 is provided with several charging through holes 3 along its length. Each charging through hole 3 is provided with a socket. All sockets are electrically connected to the power supply. The lower surface of the table 1 is provided with a support frame.

[0039] In this embodiment, the side wall of the charging box 2 has several charging holes 3 along its length, and each charging hole 3 has a socket, which is an 86-type socket. These sockets provide charging interfaces for passengers, allowing them to easily insert the charging plug of electronic devices into the sockets to charge the electronic devices.

[0040] Because there are a large number of charging ports 3, it can simultaneously meet the charging needs of a large number of passengers for their electronic devices. In airport terminals with high population density and a high demand for charging, this configuration can effectively improve the utilization efficiency of charging facilities and reduce passenger waiting time for charging.

[0041] The charging box 2 and the tabletop 1 have an inverted T-shaped cross-section. This design creates a stable connection between the charging box 2 and the tabletop 1, while also providing more usable space for passengers. While charging their electronic devices, passengers can place the devices and other items on either side of the charging box 2 on the tabletop 1. This avoids potential damage from placing electronic devices directly on the ground, thus better protecting their devices and preventing safety hazards caused by them being stepped on.

[0042] The support frame provides necessary support for the table 1 and charging box 2, giving them a certain height so that passengers can comfortably charge their devices whether standing or sitting. At the same time, the support frame also stably supports the table 1 and items placed on it, ensuring the charging facility remains stable during use and preventing tilting or collapse due to heavy loads, thus improving safety and comfort.

[0043] The support frame includes a support plate 4 arranged along the length of the lower surface of the tabletop 1. The support plate 4 is perpendicular to the tabletop 1. Vertical plates 5 are provided at both ends of the support plate 4. The two vertical plates 5 are located on the same side of the support plate 4. The bottom of the two vertical plates 5 are connected to a base plate 6.

[0044] In this embodiment, the support plate 4 is perpendicular to the tabletop 1, and the support plate 4 can directly bear the weight of the tabletop 1 and the items placed on it. Vertical plates 5 are provided at both ends of the support plate 4, and the two vertical plates 5 are located on the same side of the support plate 4. The support plate 4 and the two vertical plates 5 are connected to form a stable overall structure, which can evenly distribute the weight of the tabletop 1 and the items on it, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire charging facility.

[0045] Meanwhile, the two vertical plates 5 ensure that the weight of the tabletop 1 and the items on it is evenly distributed on both sides, preventing imbalance caused by excessive force on one side and thus avoiding tilting or instability during charging. The base plate 6 connects the bottoms of the two vertical plates 5 together, further enhancing the stability of the entire support frame.

[0046] The support plate 4, the vertical plate 5, and the base plate 6 together form a stable support frame structure. This structural design ensures stability during charging, guaranteeing that the tabletop 1 and the items placed on it will not be affected by shaking or tilting of the tabletop 1.

[0047] The support plate 4 has several partitions 7 along its length on its side. These partitions 7 are located between two vertical plates 5, dividing the internal space of the support frame into several box-like structures. In this embodiment, the support plate 4 has several partitions 7 along its length on its side, located between two vertical plates 5. The partitions 7 effectively distribute the weight of the tabletop 1 and the items on it, preventing deformation or damage to the tabletop 1 and the support frame structure due to excessive localized stress, thereby enhancing the stability of this embodiment.

[0048] In practical applications, this embodiment will be equipped with several chairs for passengers to rest while charging their devices. The partition panels divide the internal space of the support frame into several box-like structures. When passengers are sitting on the chairs charging their electronic devices, they can comfortably place their feet in these box-like structures, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] It also includes a microprocessor and several current sensors corresponding to the sockets. The current sensors are connected to the corresponding sockets via wires. The upper surface of the tabletop 1 has several grooves 9 corresponding to the charging holes 3. Each groove 9 has a detection mechanism. The detection mechanism and the current sensors are electrically connected to the microprocessor. The top of the detection mechanism has a weighing plate 8. The upper surface of the weighing plate 8 is flush with the upper surface of the tabletop 1.

[0050] In this embodiment, the current sensor is a VCS734 high-precision current sensor. The current sensor is connected to the corresponding socket via a wire. The current sensor can monitor the current flowing through the socket in real time, thereby determining whether an electronic device is connected to the socket and charging.

[0051] After an item is placed on the placement plate 8, the detection mechanism monitors the item's weight, which is the initial weight value, and sends this weight data to the microprocessor. Simultaneously, a current sensor continuously monitors the current flowing through the socket. When the current sensor detects current flowing through it, indicating that an electronic device is charging, it sends a signal to the microprocessor. Upon receiving this signal, the microprocessor sends a command to the detection mechanism to pause the real-time weight monitoring of the items on the placement plate 8. This measure effectively saves energy, thereby reducing operating costs.

[0052] When the current sensor detects the disappearance of current, it indicates that the electronic device has stopped charging. At this time, the current sensor will send a signal to the microprocessor again. After receiving the signal, the microprocessor will command the detection mechanism to restart weight detection and transmit the detected weight data to the microprocessor.

[0053] The microprocessor analyzes and processes the received weight data. If the detected weight value is between 0 and the initial weight value, it indicates that items remain on the placement plate 8 after charging is complete. The process then proceeds to the next step for further processing. This setup allows the charging facility to promptly detect items left behind after charging. This intelligent monitoring method improves overall user satisfaction with the charging facility, significantly enhancing the user experience.

[0054] The detection mechanism includes a pressure sensor 10 and a buzzer 11. Both the pressure sensor 10 and the buzzer 11 are fixed to the bottom of the groove 9. The top surface of the pressure sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the placement plate 8. The pressure sensor 10 is connected to a power supply battery via a wire. The buzzer 11 is electrically connected to a power supply. Each socket is connected to a current sensor. The pressure sensor 10, the buzzer 11, and the current sensor are electrically connected to the microprocessor.

[0055] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 10 is a circular plate force sensor, model CZL208. The buzzer 11 is a surface mount buzzer, model MLT-1032. When an item is placed on the placement plate 8, the placement plate 8 transmits the weight to the pressure sensor 10 below. The pressure sensor 10 detects the weight and sends the initial weight value to the microprocessor.

[0056] Meanwhile, the current sensor continuously monitors the current flowing through the socket. When the current sensor detects current, it sends a signal to the microprocessor. Upon receiving this signal, the microprocessor commands the pressure sensor 10 to pause detection and disconnect from the power supply battery, thereby saving energy and reducing operating costs.

[0057] When the current sensor detects the disappearance of current, it indicates that the electronic device has stopped charging. At this time, the current sensor will send a signal to the microprocessor again. After receiving the signal, the microprocessor commands the pressure sensor 10 to restart weight detection and transmits the detected weight data to the microprocessor.

[0058] The microprocessor analyzes and processes the received weight data. If the detected weight value is between 0 and the initial weight value, it indicates that an item has been left on the placement board 8 after charging is completed. The microprocessor then randomly sends a command to the buzzer 11, which sounds an alarm to remind the passenger that an item has been left behind, thereby improving the user experience and the safety of the items.

[0059] In this embodiment, the charging box 2 and the tabletop 1 have an inverted T-shaped cross-section. This design not only enhances the stability of their connection but also provides passengers with more usable space.
