In other embodiments of the present disclosure, the conveying member may comprise a plurality of rollers or a timing belt, which may be toothed or may be a belt.

The conveying apparatus 1 for objects according to the present disclosure makes the entire apparatus occupied space small by installing the lifting device 20 obliquely, and the conveying apparatus 1 is made of an aluminum alloy frame, thereby making the entire weight light, facilitating movement, and facilitating processing of materials.

The conveyor apparatus 1 of the present disclosure may be used at airports or test sites to transport empty pallets to free up operating personnel. For example, currently, each set of equipment needs 2 workers to shift to carry empty trays, 1 worker can simultaneously watch 2-3 sets of intelligent passenger inspection systems or more through the tool, and the number of workers is obviously reduced during batch production; in addition, the conveying equipment 1 can realize efficient operation, and compared with the condition that 24 hours are needed for completing the operation of one set of intelligent passenger inspection system in the prior art, the conveying equipment 1 only needs 17 hours; finally, by using the equipment disclosed by the invention, an operator only needs to supervise the running state of the equipment and does not need to carry the equipment manually, so that the operation intensity is reduced.

Hereinafter, the operation of the conveying apparatus 1 of the present disclosure will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 6.

For example, in an airport application, when the conveyor 1 is ready, the conveyor 1 sends a signal to an intelligent passenger inspection system (not shown) which outputs an empty tray 50, a sensor of the horizontal conveyor 30 detects the entry of the empty tray 50, and the drive roller 321 is driven toward the other conveyor sensor and passes over the empty tray 50 via the conveyor 323. When another transport sensor is triggered, the drive roller 321 stops rotating and the empty tray 50 is completely removed from the intelligent passenger inspection system and placed on the horizontal transport device 30.

The motor 23 of the lifting device 20 starts forward movement, the horizontal transfer device 30 is moved upward, stops at the upper position (the upper stop position is also provided with a sensor), and waits for the empty tray 50 to be transferred to the upper position.

The drive roller 321 is operated in the direction of the transport sensor, and the empty tray 50 is fed into the intelligent passenger inspection system by the transport belt 323.

When the conveying sensor detects that the empty tray 50 is separated from the horizontal conveying device 30, the motor 23 rotates reversely to return the horizontal conveying device 30 to the lower position, and the lifting sensor is triggered to indicate that the conveying equipment 1 has a state of receiving the empty tray 50, so that the next conveying task can be completed.
