Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a shock absorber 1 installed in a carousel according to an embodiment will be described. For reference, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a carousel C in which a shock absorber is installed according to an embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the shock absorber 1 according to an embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a carousel C according to an embodiment. This is a schematic diagram showing the baggage 10 colliding with the shock absorber 1.

Referring to the drawings, the shock absorber 1 installed in the carousel includes a carousel C, a frame 100, a shock absorber 110, and a support portion 120.

The carousel (C) is installed at the airport, accommodates the falling baggage (10), and moves the baggage (10). The carousel (C) defined in this embodiment may be in the form of accommodating the collided baggage (10) and rotating it in a closed loop. For convenience of explanation, hereinafter, among the baggage (10) that is falling or immediately after falling, only It is defined as first baggage (11), and after being dropped, rotating in a closed loop and circulating on the carousel (C) is defined as second baggage (12).

Meanwhile, the components of the carousel C according to one embodiment may be configured in various technical forms and can be understood from known technologies, so detailed descriptions are omitted.

The frame 100 consists of a plurality of pieces.

The plurality of frames 100 are respectively coupled to both ends of the plurality of axes 20 so that the plurality of axes 20 are aligned and rotatable, and the axes ( The side of 20) is installed to face the baggage 10. By having a plurality of axes 20 in parallel, the frame 100 can maximize the area where the shock absorbing unit 110, which will be described later, can contact the first baggage 11. The plurality of frames 100 are spaced apart from each other through the axis 20, and the frame facing the bottom of the carousel (C) is the lower frame 100a, and the frame provided on the opposite side of the lower frame 100a is the upper frame ( It can be defined as 100b). In the frame 100, the upper frame 100b and the lower frame 100a are spaced apart, thereby maximizing the area of the buffer unit 110 coupled to the shaft 20 to increase the buffering effect. However, the shape of the frame 100 and the combined form of the shaft 20 are merely illustrative descriptions according to an embodiment, and a falling point 30 is provided to the first baggage 11 and a buffer unit 110 and Various combinable configurations can be applied.

The shaft 20 is provided with an elastic member S on a portion facing the opposite side of the falling point 30. The shaft 20 can prevent the baggage 10 from being damaged when it collides with the baggage 10 through the elastic member S. In addition, the shaft 20 is provided with a reinforced elastic member (S), thereby increasing its impact fracture strength.

The frame 100 is bent to form a plurality of inclined surfaces 101 of different lengths and a convex bent portion 102 toward the first baggage 11.

The frame 100 is formed on the inclined surface 101, where the short first inclined surface 101a is formed as a downward inclined surface with respect to the direction of movement of the first baggage 11, and the long second inclined surface 101b is formed to move the second luggage 11. It is formed as an upward slope with respect to the direction of movement of (12). The bent portion 102 may be bent at a slope such that the slope of the second slope 101b is gentler than that of the first slope 101a. The frame 100 has the bent portion 102 having a different inclination of the first inclined surface 101a and the second inclined surface 101b, so that the first baggage 11 that starts circulating in the carousel C after being dropped has an inclination. A steep first slope 101a can be provided, and a gentle second slope 101b can be provided to the second baggage 12 approaching the falling point. That is, based on the direction of movement of the baggage 10, the frame 100 has a first slope 101a that provides a downward slope to the first baggage 11, and a second slope 101b that provides a downward slope to the first baggage 11. By providing an uphill slope to 12), the speed at which the first baggage (11) leaves the dropping point (30) is fast, and the speed at which the second baggage (12) reaches the falling point is slowed, so that the first baggage (11) and the second baggage (11) are 2Collision of baggage (12) can be prevented.

The buffer unit 110 is coupled to a plurality of axes 20 and collides with the baggage 10, and is covered with a buffer member to cushion the impact force when colliding with the baggage 10.

The buffer unit 110 is installed in a carousel C including a plurality of first and second rotating members 111 and 112 in the form of rollers. The shock absorbing unit 110 converts the impact force into rotational force by coupling the first rotating member 111 and the second rotating member 112 to the shaft 20, transmits it to the baggage 10, and creates a curved travel path. Since it is provided to the baggage 10, it is possible to facilitate the movement of the baggage 10, and the moving baggage 10 is caught in the shock absorber 1, preventing other baggage 10 circulating in the carousel C. Prevents obstruction of movement.

The buffer unit 110 has a diameter of the first rotating member 111 so that the speed difference between when the baggage 10 moves along the first rotating member 111 and when moving along the second rotating member 112 increases. It is formed larger than the diameter of the second rotating member 112. The first rotating member 111 is coupled to the first axis 21 coupled to the first slope 101a, and the second rotating member 112 is coupled to the second axis 22 coupled to the second slope 101b. is combined with In the buffer unit 110, the first rotating member 111 is located on a downhill side and the second rotating member 112 is located on an uphill side, so that the second baggage 12 falls at a lower point 30 than the first baggage 11. It is possible to prevent collision with the first baggage 11 that arrives first and falls.

The buffer unit 110 may be formed in such a way that the first rotating member 111 and the second rotating member 112 do not contact the shaft 20 and the baggage 10. For example, the buffer unit 110 has a first rotating member 111 and a second rotating member 112 having a length adjacent to the gap between the upper frame 100b and the lower frame 100a, and the axis 20 One rotating member (111, 112) may be coupled to each other, or a plurality of rotating members (111, 112) may be coupled to each shaft (20).

In various embodiments, the first rotating member 111 and the second rotating member 112 may be provided with a plurality of elastic members (S) between the inner surface and the shaft 20. Specifically, the first rotating member 111 and the second rotating member 112, each elastic member (S) is installed radially, so as to buffer the impact force acting from all directions when colliding with the baggage 10. ) and damage to the shaft 20 can be prevented, and the effect derived from this configuration may be the same as the effect derived from the configuration of the shaft 20 provided with the elastic member (S) described above.

The support portion 120 is coupled to the frame 100 on the opposite side of the falling point 30 and is formed to support the frame 100 against the floor or wall. The support portion 120 may be formed so that the frame 100 can be fixed to the floor or wall. For example, the support part 120 may be formed in a form that can be coupled to the floor or wall. Alternatively, the support portion 120 may be formed in a form that can be coupled to the carousel (C) so that the frame 100 is fixed to the carousel (C) instead of the floor or wall. By fixing and supporting the frame 100, the support unit 120 can prevent the frame 100 from being separated from its installed position or falling over due to a collision with the baggage 10.

The support portion 120 is a buffer support portion ( 121). The shock support portion 121 buffers the impact force exerted by the elastic member (S) toward the frame 100 and the shaft 20, thereby protecting the frame 100 and the shaft 20 when the baggage 10 collides with the buffer unit 110. ) and baggage (10) can be prevented from being damaged.

In this embodiment, the shock absorber 1 installed in the carousel as described above includes a shock absorber unit 110 including rotating members 111 and 112 coated with a shock absorber to protect the baggage 10. By cushioning the impact, converting the impact force into rotational force and transmitting it to the baggage 10, the movement of the baggage 10 is facilitated, and the moving baggage 10 is caught in the shock absorber 1, causing the carousel C. It is possible to prevent the movement of other baggage 10 circulating through the baggage system.

Although the embodiments have been described with limited drawings as described above, those skilled in the art can apply various technical modifications and variations based on the above. For example, the described techniques are performed in a different order than the described method, and/or components of the described system, structure, device, circuit, etc. are combined or combined in a different form than the described method, or other components are used. Alternatively, appropriate results may be achieved even if substituted or substituted by an equivalent.
