Abstract

The invention discloses an integrated security inspection system, comprising: a server, an information input unit in an information input area, a tray distributing and associating unit and a security inspection imaging and sorting unit in a baggage check area. The tray distributing and associating unit distributes a tray with an identifier to a piece of baggage. The information input unit obtains and sends information of a person to the server. The tray distributing and associating unit obtains and sends information of the person and the identifier of the tray to the server, which processes them to generate a first association information. The security inspection imaging and sorting unit checks the baggage to obtain a security image, read the identifier, and send them to the server, which processes them to generate a second association information. The server matches and stores the information of the person with information of the security image.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An integrated security inspection system, comprising:
a server,
an input device in an information input area,
a tray distributing and binding unit comprising an automatic conveyor, and
a security inspection imaging and sorting unit in a baggage check area, wherein the security inspection imaging and sorting unit comprises at least one of an X-ray security inspection device and a trace explosive detector;
wherein the tray distributing and binding unit is provided in front of the security inspection imaging and sorting unit, and is adapted to distribute a security inspection tray with an identifier to a piece of baggage to be inspected;
wherein the input device, the tray distributing and binding unit and the security inspection imaging and sorting unit are connected with the server, respectively; the input device is adapted to obtain information of a person to be inspected and send the information to the server; the tray distributing and binding unit is adapted to obtain information of the person to be inspected and the identifier of the security inspection tray and sending them to the server, which is adapted to bind the information of the person to be inspected and the identifier of the security inspection tray to generate a first binding information;
wherein the security inspection imaging and sorting unit is adapted to check the baggage to be inspected to obtain a security image, read the identifier of the security inspection tray in which the baggage to be inspected is loaded, and send the security image and the identifier of the security inspection tray in which the baggage to be inspected is loaded to the server, which is adapted to bind the security image and the identifier to generate a second binding information; and
wherein the server is adapted to match and store the information of the person to be inspected with information of the security image according to the first binding information and the second binding information.

2. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the X-ray security inspection device is any one of a dual-view security inspection machine, a single-view security inspection machine and a CT security inspection machine.

3. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 2 , wherein the security inspection imaging and sorting unit also comprises a baggage sorting device;
the baggage sorting device is provided at the exit of a security inspection channel of the X-ray security inspection device;
when the X-ray security inspection device detects a piece of suspect baggage, a suspect baggage delivery device will be actuated to deliver the suspect baggage to a suspect baggage conveying device; and
when the X-ray security inspection device detects a piece of normal checked baggage, the suspect baggage delivery device will not be actuated and the normal baggage will be delivered to a normal baggage conveying device.

4. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a re-check unit comprising an X-ray security inspection device in the baggage check area, wherein the re-check unit is provided after the security inspection imaging and sorting unit and is adapted to re-check the inspected baggage containing suspect objects after the inspected baggage is sorted by the security inspection imaging and sorting unit.

5. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a human-body machine-check unit and a human-body manual-check unit in a body check area; the human-body machine-check unit is provided in front of the human-body manual-check unit; wherein the system is arranged and configured such that, after being designated as suspicious by the human-body machine-check unit, the inspected person is checked at the human-body manual-check unit.

6. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 5 , wherein the human-body machine-check unit comprises at least one of a human-body security inspection device and a portal-type metal detection device, and the human-body manual-check unit is a hand-held metal detection device.

7. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 6 , wherein one or more automatic security portals are provided in front of the human-body machine-check unit, and are adapted to restrict the number of persons to be inspected that enter the body check area.

8. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 7 , further comprising:
an empty tray identification and collection system comprising an automatic conveyor in the baggage check area, wherein the empty tray identification and collection system and the security inspection imaging and sorting unit are connected by the automatic conveyor and transfer the inspected baggage and the security inspection trays through the automatic conveyor; and
wherein the empty tray identification and collection system identifies the security inspection trays, and then collects and conveys the empty security inspection trays to the tray distributing and binding unit for reuse.

9. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 8 , wherein the security inspection tray comprises an RFID identifier that is associated with the person and baggage to be analyzed via the server.

10. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 9 , wherein the input device includes a device to scan a boarding pass of the person to obtain first information including personal identification information and/or flight information.

11. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 10 , wherein automatic control of the integrated security inspection system is performed via the server as a function of one or both of the RFID identifier and the first information, including automatic distribution of the security inspection tray as a function of a user instruction.

12. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 1 , wherein the security inspection imaging and sorting unit also comprises a baggage sorting device;
the baggage sorting device is provided at the exit of a security inspection channel of the X-ray security inspection device;
when the X-ray security inspection device detects a piece of suspect baggage, a suspect baggage delivery device will be actuated to deliver the suspect baggage to a suspect baggage conveying device; and
when the X-ray security inspection device detects a piece of normal checked baggage, the suspect baggage delivery device will not be actuated and the normal baggage will be delivered to a normal baggage conveying device.

13. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 1 further comprising a re-check unit comprising an X-ray security inspection device in the baggage check area, wherein the re-check unit is provided after the security inspection imaging and sorting unit and is adapted to re-check the inspected baggage containing suspect objects after the inspected baggage is sorted by the security inspection imaging and sorting unit.

14. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 1 , further comprising a human-body machine-check unit and a human-body manual-check unit in a body check area; the human-body machine-check unit is provided in front of the human-body manual-check unit; wherein the system is arranged and configured such that, after being designated as suspicious by the human-body machine-check unit, the inspected person is checked at the human-body manual-check unit.

15. The integrated security inspection system according to claim 14 , wherein the human-body machine-check
