A reader (not shown) capable of reading an identification member may be installed in the charging device 10. [ When the baggage is non-standardized baggage, the control unit 7 can operate the closing apparatus 10 after the reader recognizes the tub 100 through the identification member. Accordingly, the tub 100 in which the baggage is stored is put into the baggage handling system by the charging device 10. Meanwhile, the charging device 10 may be configured so that the weight of the tub 100 is not added to the occupant by measuring the weight, excluding the weight of the tub 100, when measuring the weight of the baggage.
When the checking unit 6 confirms that the baggage is standardized baggage, the control unit 7 operates the input device 10. [ Thus, the standardized baggage is put into the baggage handling system by the charging device 10 without being housed in the tub 100.

To this end, the third loading mechanism 5 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a rotational movement mechanism 51. [
The rotary movement mechanism 51 rotates and moves the target tub 110 located at the loading position LP to the supply position SP. The rotation movement mechanism 51 includes a support member 511, a coupling member 512, and a rotation mechanism 513.
The supporting member 511 is coupled to the engaging member 512. The support member 511 is formed to be capable of supporting the target tub 110. For example, the support member 511 may have a rectangular plate shape. The third loading mechanism 5 may include a plurality of the supporting members 511. The support members 511 may contact the different portions of the target tub 110 to support the target tub 110. For example, the third loading mechanism 5 may include two support members 511. In this case, the support members 511 may support opposite sides of the target tub 110. Accordingly, the third loading mechanism 5 can stably support the target tub 110 while maintaining the target tub 110 in a horizontal state.
The support members 511 may support two sides facing each other among four sides of the target tub 110. In this case, the supporting members 41 of the second loading mechanism 4 may be provided with the remaining two of the four sides of the tub 100, which are not supported by the supporting member 511 of the third loading mechanism 5 Can support the sides.
The engaging member 512 supports the supporting member 511. The engaging member 512 is coupled to the rotating mechanism 513. The coupling member 512 may be formed in a rod shape as a whole but is not limited thereto and may be formed in a different shape such as a square bar shape as long as it can support the support member 511. When the third loading mechanism 5 includes a plurality of the supporting members 511, the third loading mechanism 5 may include a plurality of the engaging members 512. In this case, the third loading mechanism 5 may include the same number of the supporting member 511 and the engaging member 512.
The rotating mechanism 513 rotates the engaging member 512. The support member 511 rotates together with the rotation mechanism 513 as the engagement member 512 rotates. Accordingly, the rotating mechanism 513 can transfer the tub 100 supported by the support member 511 from the loading position LP to the supplying position SP.
The rotating mechanism 513 may be coupled to the main body 20 (shown in Fig. 1). The main body 20 may be formed by joining a plurality of frames.

Although not shown, the charging device 10 may be installed such that a part of the charging device 10 is located inside the main body 20 and the remaining part of the charging device 10 is located outside the main body 20.
The rotating mechanism 513 rotates the second loading mechanism 31 between the retracted position RP (shown in FIG. 4), the loading position LP, and the feeding position SP. The retracted position RP is a position where the second loading mechanism 4 does not interfere with the third loading mechanism 5 in the operation of transferring the target tub 110 to the loading position LP. The retracted position (RP) is located on the opposite side of the feed position (SP) with respect to the loading position (LP). That is, the loading position LP is located between the retracted position RP and the supplying position SP. The rotation mechanism 513 can rotate the coupling member 512 by a motor system using a motor that generates a rotational force.
The rotary movement mechanism 51 may include a avoidance mechanism 514 for rotating the support member 511. [
The avoidance mechanism 514 rotates the support member 511 so that the support member 511 is switched between the gripping mode and the non-detaching mode. The support member 511 is located at a position where the support tab 511 can grasp the target tub 110 when the grasping mode is switched to the grasping mode. The support member 511 is located at a position away from the target tub 110 to avoid the target tub 110 when the non-destructive mode is switched. The avoidance mechanism 514 rotates together with the rotation mechanism 513 as the support member 511 rotates. The avoiding mechanism 514 is coupled to the engaging member 512. The support member 511 is rotatably coupled to the avoidance mechanism 514. [ The avoidance mechanism 514 can rotate the support member 511 by a cylinder system using a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, a motor system using a motor generating a rotational force, and the like.
The rotary movement mechanism 51 may include an interlocking mechanism 515 (shown in Fig. 4). The interlocking mechanism 515 is configured to move the engagement member 512 and the escape mechanism 514 such that the escape mechanism 514 rotates in conjunction with the engagement member 512 as the engagement member 512 rotates Connect. In this case, the avoidance mechanism 514 is rotatably coupled to the engaging member 512. [ The interlocking mechanism 515 connects the engagement member 512 and the avoidance mechanism 514 such that the interlocking mechanism 512 and the avoidance mechanism 514 rotate in a direction opposite to the mutually opposing direction. Accordingly, the avoidance mechanism 514 rotates in the direction of rotation opposite to the direction of rotation of the engaging member 512.
4, when the rotating mechanism 513 rotates the engaging member 512 in the clockwise direction, the avoiding mechanism 514 rotates counterclockwise by the interlocking mechanism 515, .
Accordingly, the tub supply device 1 for the baggage handling system according to the present invention is configured such that the target tub 110 supported by the support member 511 is moved from the loading position LP to the supplying position SP It is possible to prevent the target tub 110 from being detached from the support member 511 as the support member 511 is inclined out of a predetermined range. Therefore, the tub supply device 1 for the baggage handling system according to the present invention can stably transfer the target tub 110 to the supply position SP. Further, the tub supply device 1 for the baggage handling system according to the present invention can rotate the engaging member 512 and the avoidance mechanism 514 in cooperation with each other using the rotational force generated by the rotating mechanism 513 The manufacturing cost and the operating cost can be reduced as compared with rotating the engaging member 512 and the avoiding mechanism 514 using separate power sources.
The interlocking mechanism 515 is configured such that in the process of the rotation mechanism 513 rotating the support member 511 between the retracted position RP, the loading position LP, and the feed position SP, The coupling member 512 and the avoidance mechanism 514 may be connected so that the coupling member 512 may be inclined within a range of 0 ㅀ to 6 기준 with respect to the bottom surface. The interlocking mechanism 515 is configured such that when the target tub 110 is seated in the dispensing apparatus 10 at the dispensing position SP, the interlocking mechanism 515 has the same tilt as that of the dispensing apparatus 10 The coupling member 512 and the avoidance mechanism 514 may be connected to each other so as to be seated in the insertion device 10 in a state inclined by the inclination.
The interlocking mechanism 515 includes a driving pulley 5151 coupled to the rotating shaft 512a of the engaging member 512, a driven pulley 5152 coupled to the rotating shaft 514a of the avoiding mechanism 514, And a belt 5153 connecting the pulley 5151 and the driven pulley 5152. [
The driving pulley 5151 is coupled to the rotating mechanism 513. Accordingly, the driving pulley 5151 rotates together with the rotating mechanism 513 as the engaging member 512 rotates.
The driven pulley 5152 is connected to the drive pulley 5151 through the belt 5153. The avoidance mechanism 514 is coupled to the driven pulley 5152. Accordingly, the avoidance mechanism 514 rotates together with the driven pulley 5152 as it rotates. The diameter of each of the driven pulley 5152 and the drive pulley 5151 is determined according to the following equation (1).
[Equation 1]
Here, R A is the radius of the drive pulley 5151, A A is the rotation angle of the engagement member 512, R B is the radius of the driven pulley 5152, and A is the rotation angle of the second avoidance mechanism.
The belt 5153 rotates the driven pulley 5152 while circulatingly moving as the drive pulley 5151 rotates. The belt 5153 is coupled to the drive pulley 5151 and the driven pulley 5152 in the form of a closed loop to enclose the drive pulley 5151 and the driven pulley 5152. When the belt 5153 moves as the drive pulley 5151 rotates, the driven pulley 5152 rotates while the belt 5153 moves, thereby rotating the avoiding mechanism 514. The belt 5153 rotates the driven pulley 5152 in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the drive pulley 5151. Accordingly, the engaging member 512 and the avoiding mechanism 514 are rotated in opposite rotational directions.

In this case, the first loading mechanism 3 may raise the second loading mechanism 3 holding the target tub 110 at the starting position DP to the standby position WP. The vertical movement step S100 will be described in detail as follows.
First, as shown in FIG. 7, the second loading mechanism 4 grips the target tub 110 at the starting position DP (S110). In this case, the second loading mechanism 4 is in a state in which the support member 41 is switched to the gripping mode.
Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the first loading mechanism 3 moves the second loading mechanism 4 holding the target tub 110 from the starting position DP to the standby position WP vertically . Accordingly, the target tub 110 is separated from the tubs 100 stored in the tub storage unit 2 and is raised from the starting position DP to the standby position WP. That is, the second loading mechanism 4 moves only the target tub 110 located at the starting position DP to the standby position WP.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the rotary movement mechanism 51 rotates from the retracted position RP to the loading position LP to grip the target tub 110 located at the loading position LP (S310). As shown in FIG. 12, the rotation movement mechanism 51 grasps the target tub 110 by switching the support member 511 from the non-collision mode to the grasping mode. In this case, the support member 511 of the rotary movement mechanism 51 may be switched from the non-collision mode to the grasping mode while the engaging member 512 rotates at the loading position LP. The support member 511 of the rotary movement mechanism 51 is moved from the non-supported mode to the gripping mode while the second loading mechanism 4 is held in the gripping mode, The tub 110 can be gripped.
Next, as shown in FIG. 13, the second loading mechanism 4 is switched from the holding mode to the non-falling mode (S320). In this case, the support member 41 of the second loading mechanism 4 is separated from the target tub 110 located at the loading position LP by switching from the gripping mode to the non-stop mode.
Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the second loading mechanism 4 moves up to avoid the target tub 110 located at the loading position LP (S330).

Referring to FIGS. 6, 15 and 16, in the moving step S400, the rotary movement mechanism 51 moves the target tub 110 from the loading position LP to the feeding position SP . Accordingly, the target tub 110 rotates from the loading position LP to the supplying position SP and is positioned at the supplying position SP where the occupant can grasp. The location movement step (S400) will be described in detail as follows.
First, as shown in Fig. 15, the rotation movement mechanism 51 rotates from the loading position LP to the feeding position SP (S410). In this case, the rotation movement mechanism 51 rotates from the loading position LP to the supply position SP while the support member 511 is held in the gripping mode.
Next, as shown in Fig. 16, the rotation movement mechanism 51 is switched from the gripping mode to the non-destructive mode (S420). In this case, the support member 511 of the rotary movement mechanism 51 is separated from the target tub 110 located at the supply position SP by switching from the gripping mode to the non-stop mode.
Next, the rotation movement mechanism 51 rotates from the supply position SP to the retraction position RP (S430).

6 and 18 to 23, in the second embodiment where the third loading mechanism 5 includes the vertical moving mechanism 52, the gripping step S300 and the position shifting step S400 ) Is implemented as follows.
The holding step S300 is performed by the vertical movement mechanism 52 holding the target tub 110 at the loading position LP. Accordingly, the target tub 110 is supported by the third loading mechanism 5 at the loading position LP. Hereinafter, the grasping step (S300) will be described in detail.
19, until the second loading mechanism 4 transfers the target tub 110 to the loading position LP, the vertical movement mechanism 52 moves to the retracted position RP). In this case, the support member 521 of the vertical movement mechanism 52 is in the non-propagating mode.
20 and 21, the vertical movement mechanism 52 vertically moves from the retracted position RP to the loading position LP to move the target tub 110 located at the loading position LP (S310). 21, the vertical movement mechanism 52 can grip the target tub 110 by switching the support member 521 from the non-collision mode to the grip mode at the loading position LP . In this case, the support member 521 of the vertical movement mechanism 52 may be switched from the non-collision mode to the gripping mode while being vertically moved to the loading position LP. The support member 521 of the vertical movement mechanism 52 is shifted from the non-supported mode to the gripping mode while the second loading mechanism 4 is held in the gripping mode, The tub 110 can be gripped.
Next, as shown in FIG. 22, the second loading mechanism 4 is switched from the holding mode to the non-falling mode (S320). In this case, the support member 41 of the second loading mechanism 4 is separated from the target tub 110 located at the loading position LP by switching from the gripping mode to the non-stop mode.
6, 23 and 24, in the moving step S400, the vertical movement mechanism 52 moves the target tub 110 from the loading position LP to the feeding position SP . Accordingly, the target tub 110 rotates from the loading position LP to the supplying position SP and is positioned at the supplying position SP where the occupant can grasp. The location movement step (S400) will be described in detail as follows.
First, as shown in FIG. 23, the vertical movement mechanism 52 vertically moves from the loading position LP to the supply position SP (S410). In this case, the vertical movement mechanism 52 descends from the loading position LP to the supply position SP while the support member 521 is held in the gripping mode.
Next, as shown in Fig. 24, the vertical movement mechanism 52 is switched from the gripping mode to the non-stop mode (S420). In this case, the support member 521 of the vertical movement mechanism 52 is separated from the target tub 110 located at the supply position SP by switching from the gripping mode to the non-stop mode.
Next, the vertical movement mechanism 52 vertically moves from the supply position SP to the retracted position RP (S430). In this case, the vertical movement mechanism 52 ascends from the supply position SP to the retracted position RP while the support member 521 is maintained in the non-return mode. Accordingly, the vertical movement mechanism 52 can rise to the retracted position RP by avoiding the target tub 110 located at the supply position SP.
Next, as shown in FIG. 17, the support mechanism 8 raises the tub 100 stored in the tub storage 2 (S440). The tub 100 positioned at the uppermost position among the remaining tubs 100 in the tub storage unit 2 is positioned at the starting position DP and is converted to the target tub 110. [
