Description

The present invention relates to, for example, an automatic proper packing style holding system capable of stably and surely carrying baggage into and / or carrying out an X-ray inspection box by an X-ray baggage inspection device (EDS) of a passenger baggage transport facility (BHS) at an airport.

Conventionally, the BHS at an airport is often a conveyor belt system. Due to the recent tightening of security on this transport line, a tunnel-shaped EDS will be installed as a device that can automatically inspect dangerous materials such as explosives and swords so that they will not be brought into the cargo space inside the aircraft. In many cases (the one in which the EDS is incorporated in the transport line is called an in-line screening system).

nothing special

By the way, in order for baggage to pass through the EDS, it must pass through a heavy lead-containing curtain provided at the entrance / exit of the EDS to prevent X-ray leakage. Therefore, when the BHS is operated by a belt conveyor system, if the user's baggage is a heavy suitcase, it can pass through this curtain without any trouble, but for example, when the baggage is lightweight in a paper bag. , I can't pass through the EDS because of the curtain.

That is, in the case of a belt conveyor, individual loads that are light are not stable in appearance and may be blown off by a heavy curtain containing EDS lead.

Recently, airlines operating at low fares such as LCCs have emerged, and airport operations are being significantly automated and labor-saving. In particular, the check-in counter method of admission was a method in which baggage was manually flowed to the transport line, but with the advent of Self-Backdrop (SBD), passengers have changed to a method in which they deposit their baggage on the transport line. However, when baggage is checked in using SBD, there are cases where light bags are put in in addition to heavy baggage such as suitcases, so the bags are carried as they are on the transport line and transported to EDS, where the EDS curtains are used. In many cases, it is repelled and the items inside are damaged, or it cannot pass through the curtain and stays as it is.

Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of various existing circumstances as described above. Not only is the tall size small (light weight), but the tall luggage is a lead curtain or curtain. It is possible to prevent the inspection result from being pushed by the vehicle and collapsing with other luggage and losing the reliability of the inspection result, and it can be additionally installed in the already installed X-ray baggage inspection device (EDS). The purpose is to provide a retention system.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the automatic proper packing style holding system according to the first aspect of the present invention can reliably carry baggage into and / or carry out the X-ray baggage inspection device by a belt conveyor in the X-ray baggage inspection. As described above, an automatic measuring means for detecting the baggage placed on the belt conveyor and automatically measuring the baggage and an automatic weight measuring means for automatically measuring the weight of the baggage placed on the belt conveyor are provided. The control unit, the measured weight and tall size of the baggage, and the appropriate reference value that can pass through the load of the X-ray shielding curtain and the X-ray shielding warmth hung at the entrance of the X-ray baggage inspection device. When it is determined by the comparison means that the measured weight of the baggage is smaller and / or the tall size is higher than the appropriate reference value, the baggage is the X-ray shielding curtain or the said. An appropriate packing style holding means is provided behind the baggage so that the load of the X-ray shielding warmth can be overcome and pushed away to be carried in and / or carried out, and the proper packing shape holding means is transferred from the accumulation storage position. Is activated by the control unit.

As a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, when the X-ray baggage inspection device is carried in, the transfer means takes out the proper package shape holding means from the accumulation storage position by a robot arm. Transfer to the belt conveyor.

As a third aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect or the second aspect, the transfer means is hung at the exit of the X-ray baggage inspection device at the time of carrying out from the X-ray baggage inspection device. The proper packaging holding means placed behind the baggage carried out by pushing away the X-ray shielding curtain and the X-ray shielding curtain is taken out from the belt conveyor by the robot arm and returned to the original storage position. I tried to put it back.

As a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the first to third aspects, the proper packaging holding means uses an anchor or a tray.

As a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the first to third aspects, the anchor lowers the position of the center of gravity, and the baggage overcomes the load of the X-ray shielding curtain and the X-ray shielding curtain. It is arranged in a shape that allows it to be placed, and a flat surface that is attracted by the robot arm is provided on the upper side, and an adsorption method is adopted in which the anchors taken by rotation are aligned and loaded, or the degree of freedom in placement is increased. I decided to do it.

As a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the fifth aspect, the anchor is arranged with a substantially triangular prism sideways, and a suction method for suction by the robot arm is provided on the upper side thereof.

As a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the first to third aspects, it is assumed that the X-ray baggage inspection device is installed in a passenger baggage transport facility (BHS) including an in-line screening system at an airport.

According to each aspect of the present invention, it is possible to prevent small weight, small tall baggage, baggage in a tray, etc. from being pushed back by a lead curtain or a curtain, and it has already been introduced. It makes it possible to construct an automatic proper packing style holding system that can be additionally installed in the X-ray baggage inspection device (EDS).

It is a perspective view which looked at the X-ray inspection box of the automatic proper packing form holding system which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention from the front. It is an overall side view of the vicinity of the X-ray inspection box of the automatic proper packing style holding system which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is a block block diagram of the automatic proper packing style holding system which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. It is an overall side view of the vicinity of the X-ray inspection box of the automatic proper packing style holding system which concerns on another embodiment of this invention.

Hereinafter, the automatic proper packing style holding system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The automatic proper baggage handling system of the present embodiment is additionally introduced into the X-ray baggage inspection device (EDS) of the passenger baggage handling system (BHS) including the in-line screening system at the airport, and the belt conveyor 1 ensures that the baggage P is lengthened. It can be carried in and out of the X-ray inspection box 2 (X-ray inspection device) of about 5 m.

As shown in FIG. 1, the X-ray inspection box 2 as an X-ray baggage inspection device (EDS) on the transport path of the belt conveyor 1 is provided with, for example, lead so that X-rays do not leak to the outside at each of its entrance and exit. X-ray shielding curtains such as curtains and curtains 3 are hung, but the measured weight of baggage P is smaller than the curtains and curtains 3, and / or the baggage P is taller. An anchor 4 is provided to prevent P from being pushed back by the curtain or the curtain 3. In other words, by increasing the number of self-backdrop systems, the weight and size (volume) at the check-in counter can be used (data linked to the tag attached to the bag), and the weight and talent (volume) upstream of this mechanism. Prepare a mechanism to measure and judge the necessity of anchor just before EDS.

As shown in FIG. 3, an automatic measuring means 6 in which a sensor (not shown) detects the baggage P placed on the belt conveyor 1 and automatically measures the baggage P, and the baggage P placed on the belt conveyor 1 A control unit 10 including an automatic weight measuring means 7 for automatically measuring the weight is provided.

The measured weight and tall size of the baggage P and the appropriate reference value that can pass through the X-ray shielding curtain hung at the entrance of the X-ray inspection box 2 and the load of the curtain 3 are compared by the comparison means 8. Compare.

Then, when it is determined by the comparison means 8 that the measured weight of the baggage P is smaller and / or the tall size is higher than the appropriate reference value, the baggage P is the X-ray shielding curtain or the curtain 3. The transfer means 9 is activated by the control unit 10 so that the load can be overcome and pushed away to carry in and / or be carried out, and the proper packing shape holding means, for example, the anchor 4 is transferred from the accumulation storage position before and after the baggage P. Let me. Then, after being carried out from the X-ray inspection box 2, the transfer means 9 takes out the anchors 4 from the front and back of the baggage P and transfers them to the accumulation storage position.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, at least the X-ray inspection box 2 is carried into the X-ray inspection box 2 by pushing away the X-ray shielding curtain and the curtain 3 before and after the baggage P. The anchor 4, which has the same weight as the line shielding curtain and the curtain 3, is sucked and transferred from the accumulation storage position (not shown) by the robot arm 5 which is the transfer means 9.

The anchor 4 is arranged in a shape in which the position of the center of gravity is lowered and the baggage P can overcome the load of the curtain or the curtain 3, and a flat surface attracted by the robot arm 5 is provided on the upper side thereof to rotate. Adopt a suction method that arranges and loads the anchors taken in the process and increases the degree of freedom in how to place them. For example, the anchor 4 is arranged with a triangular prism sideways in front of and behind the baggage P placed on the belt conveyor 1, and a flat surface portion 4A to be attracted by the robot arm 5 is provided on the upper side thereof. In this case, when the baggage P is tall, the anchor 4 having a large vertical width is transferred onto the belt conveyor 1 by the robot arm 5 from the accumulation storage position, and the baggage P is moved to the inclined surface 4B of the triangular prism of the front and rear anchors 4. Is retained. The shape of the anchor may be a method of forming a hole in the anchor and hooking it with a robot to transfer the anchor, in addition to the structure in which the flat portion to be attracted is provided as described above.

At the time of carrying out from the X-ray inspection box 2, the baggage P carried out by pushing away the X-ray shielding curtain and the curtain 3 hung on the exit of the X-ray inspection box 2 is placed before and after the baggage P. The anchor 4 is taken out from the belt conveyor 1 by the robot arm 5 which is a transfer means 9, and is returned to the original accumulation storage position.

Next, an example of use and operation of the form configured as described above will be described.

The baggage P is weighed in advance by the automatic weight measuring means 7. The baggage P placed on the belt conveyor 1 by the automatic measuring means 6 is detected by a sensor and automatically measured to measure the height size. When the measured weight of the baggage P is smaller than the X-ray shielding curtain or the curtain 3, and / or when the baggage P is tall, the corresponding anchors 4 are accumulated by the robot arm 5 which is the transfer means 9. It is transferred from the storage position to the front and back of the baggage P on the belt conveyor 1.

At this time, if the height is large, the baggage P is held on the inclined surface 4B of the triangular prism of the anchor 4, and the X-ray shielding curtain and the curtain 3 hung at the entrance of the X-ray inspection box 2 are pushed away and carried into the inside. , There is an X-ray baggage inspection.

The baggage P carried out by pushing away the X-ray shielding curtain and the curtain 3 hung at the exit of the X-ray inspection box 2 moves the anchors 4 placed before and after the anchor 4 from the belt conveyor 1 by means of transferring the anchors 4. It is taken out by the barrel robot arm 5 and returned to the original storage position.

In addition, as another example of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lightweight and small volume baggage P is checked in at the check-in counter, the baggage transport belt conveyor above by the transfer means 9 is used. At the same time as transferring to 41, the ship-shaped tray 40 dedicated to the heavy baggage P is transferred to the lower tray transport belt conveyor 42. Then, the baggage is dropped and accommodated in the tray 40 below the baggage transport belt conveyor 41, and then transferred to the belt conveyor 1 by separation by a branching device and carried into the X-ray baggage inspection device. Further, after passing through the X-ray inspection box 2, the tray 40 and the baggage P are separated. In other examples as well, the same effects as those of the present embodiment are exhibited.

As described above, in the present embodiment, it is possible to prevent the small weight and the small tall baggage P from being pushed back by the X-ray shielding curtain and the curtain 3.
