Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A conveyor carousel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of slats 10, partially overlapping, similar to a conventional conveyor carousel, as shown in FIGS. The slats 10 disposed adjacent to each other are arranged so that a part thereof overlaps each other. The slats 10 can be slanted and the baggage 100 placed on the slats 10 is rotated together with the slats 10. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of slats 10 may be arranged to move along a locus having a substantially rectangular shape.

Referring to Figure 3, a support structure 20 is provided. The support structure 20 may be disposed at a lower portion of the plurality of slats 10. The support structure 20 may have a groove 21 having the same locus as the movement locus of the plurality of slats 10. [

A plurality of spine members (30) are disposed movably on the support structure (20). As shown in FIG. 3, the spine member 30 may be disposed obliquely downward as the top surface thereof goes outward, and may be movably supported by the support structure 20 through the rollers 31 and 32.

A plurality of link members 40 are provided and each link member 40 can be fastened to the spine member 30, respectively. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the link member 40 can be fastened to the lower surface of the spine member 30 by the bolt 41. Fig.

The plurality of link members 40 may be disposed adjacent to each other along the moving direction of the slats 10. [ For example, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the link member 40 can be arranged in turn such that its lower portion is disposed within the groove 21 of the support structure 20. [

The adjacent link members (40) are fastened to each other by fastening pins (50). At this time, in order to allow the link members 40 connected to each other to move along the trajectory of a substantially rectangular shape, the link members 40 are fastened to each other so as to be rotatable with respect to the fastening pins 50.

5, the link member 40 includes a body portion 41 and first and second fastening portions 42 and 43 projecting to both sides thereof. The body 41 is a portion for receiving rotational driving force by a contact friction force as will be described later and the first and second fastening portions 42 and 43 are portions for connection with the neighboring link member 40 . 5, the first and second fastening portions 42 and 43 protrude in opposite directions from each other on both sides of the body portion 41. In a state in which the neighboring link member 40 is in close contact with the first fastening portions 42 and 43, (42) is placed on the second fastening portion (43). That is, as shown in Fig. 5, the neighboring link members 40 are disposed adjacent to each other with the first and second fastening portions 42, 43 being vertically overlapped.

At this time, the fastening pins 50 for fastening the adjacent link members 40 to each other are inserted through the first and second fastening portions 42, 43 which are overlapped with each other. 5, a first fastening hole 42a is formed in the first fastening part 42, a second fastening hole 43a is formed in the second fastening part 43, The fastening pin 50 is inserted in the state that the hole 42a and the second fastening hole 43a are vertically overlapped.

On the other hand, on both sides of the movement path of the link member 40, there are provided a pair of guide bars 60 facing each other. A roller (70) disposed between the pair of guide bars (60) is fastened to the upper end of the fastening pin (50). The guide bar 60 is formed to extend along the movement locus of the link member. That is, each of the guide bars 60 is formed so as to have a substantially rectangular shape as shown in FIG. Since the roller 70 is disposed in a state of being bitten between the guide bars 60 disposed on both sides, the coupling pin 50 connected to the roller 70 can move stably along the locus of the link member 40 .

On the other hand, a drive unit 80 for providing a force for moving the link member 40 is provided. The drive unit 80 serves to move the link member 40 by a contact friction method. That is, the drive unit 80 is in contact with the link member 40, and the link member 40 is moved by the contact frictional force at the time of contact.

The drive unit 80 will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 3 and 4. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along a plane perpendicular to the moving direction of the link member 40, and FIG. 4 is a view showing a connection relationship between the drive unit 80 and the link member 40 as viewed from above. The driving unit 80 may be provided in a plurality of units and may be installed in a suitable position.

3 and 4, the drive unit 80 includes an actuator 81 that generates a driving force. For example, the actuator 81 may be a motor. The driving force of the actuator 81 can be outputted through the speed reducing device 82 composed of gears.

A wheel 83 rotatably installed in a state of being separated from each other may be provided and the output shaft of the speed reducing device 82 is connected to any one of the two wheels. Thereby, the wheel 83 is rotated by the driving force of the actuator 81. At this time, the two wheels 83 are connected by the drive belt 84. That is, when the wheel 83 is rotated by the driving force of the actuator 81, the driving belt 84 connected to the wheel 83 rotates.

3 and 4, a part of the outer surface of the drive belt 84 is disposed in contact with the outer surface of the link member 40 arranged in a line. That is, the drive belt 84 is provided so as to be in contact with the link member 40 and rotated to move the link member 40 by the contact frictional force.

At this time, the drive belt 84 may be formed of polyurethane, and the link member 40 may be formed of an aluminum alloy. As a result, a large contact friction force can be obtained while securing the strength of the link member 40.

Meanwhile, the drive unit 80 may further include a bumper 90 that elastically supports the drive belt 84. For example, the bumper 90 includes a plurality of pressure rollers 91 disposed in contact with the drive belt 84, and a resilient force supporting member 84 for elastically supporting the pressure rollers 91 toward the drive belt 84. [ (93). A plurality of pressure rollers 91 can be fastened to the housing 92 and the elastic force providing member 93 can be connected to the housing 92 to provide a force toward the drive belt 84. [ Although not shown explicitly in the drawings, the elasticity force providing member 93 may be composed of a movable rod 95 which is movably disposed and a spring (not shown) for supporting the same. At this time, the housing 92 and the pressure roller 91 provided thereon can be installed so as to be moved toward the driving belt 84 by the force of the elastic force providing member 93.

On the other hand, the opposite surface of the both side surfaces of the link member 40, which surface is in contact with the drive belt 84, can be supported by the support roller 97. The plurality of support rollers 97 may be arranged in the moving direction of the link member 40 and the plurality of support rollers 97 may be connected to each other by the housing 98.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, And all changes and modifications to the scope of the invention.
