Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a luggage loading device for mobility capable of improving loading convenience by automating the loading and arrangement of a luggage inside the loading space of the mobility, and a luggage loading method for mobility using the same.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A luggage loading device for mobility, comprising:
a mobility that is provided with a loading space capable of loading luggage;
a first moving module that is installed on a bottom surface of the loading space to move the luggage to be put into or taken out of the loading space on the bottom surface;
a loading panel that is provided on an upper side of the first moving module to expose the first moving module while covering the bottom surface of the loading space, and loads the put luggage; and
a second moving module that is provided in the loading space, is connected to the loading panel and is configured to move the connected loading panel in a vertical direction on the upper side of the first moving module so that the loading panel loaded with the luggage is aligned vertically,
wherein the second moving module includes a plurality of guide rails that are provided on an inner wall forming the loading space of the mobility and extends in the vertical direction, and a plurality of moving modules that are movably installed along the guide rails and are connected to the loading panel.

2. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 1 , wherein the first moving module is composed of a plurality of first moving modules and the first moving modules are arranged spaced apart on the bottom surface of the loading space.

3. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 1 , wherein the first moving module includes a roll housing that extends in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the luggage is put in or taken out of the loading space and has a recessed groove at the top along the extension direction, and a roller that is seated in the recessed groove of the roll housing and moves in a rolling motion in the recessed groove.

4. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 3 , wherein the loading space is provided with a driving module that is connected to an end of the roller and rotates the roller when the driving module operates.

5. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 4 , wherein a plurality of opening holes which are respectively matched to a plurality of the first moving modules and through which the rollers of the respective first moving modules pass are provided on the loading panel.

6. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 3 , wherein the first moving module further includes a roll cover on which a slit hole matched with the recessed groove and opened to surround a portion of the roller is provided so that when coupled to a top, the roller is prevented from being separated from the recessed groove.

7. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 1 , wherein the first moving module is composed of a plurality of first moving modules and the first moving modules are arranged to be spaced apart in the loading space in a direction in which the luggage is put or taken out.

8. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 1 , wherein the loading panel is composed of a plurality of loading panels and the loading panels are stacked in the vertical direction, and the moving module of the second moving module is composed of the plurality of moving modules so as to be connected to the respective loading panels.

9. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 8 , wherein in the mobility, a sensor is provided on an uppermost end of the loading space or on a bottom of each loading panel to measure a distance between the uppermost end and the luggage at a lower side or between the loading panel and other loading panel, and
when the second moving module moves the loading panel in the vertical direction, if the distance between the uppermost end of the loading space and the luggage or the distance between the loading panel and the luggage measured by the sensor is less than a set distance, the second moving module stops the movement of the corresponding loading panel.

10. A luggage loading device for mobility, comprising:
a mobility that is provided with a loading space capable of loading luggage;
a first moving module that is installed on a bottom surface of the loading space to move the luggage to be put into or taken out of the loading space on the bottom surface;
a loading panel that is provided on an upper side of the first moving module to expose the first moving module while covering the bottom surface of the loading space, and loads the put luggage; and
a second moving module that is provided in the loading space, is connected to the loading panel and is configured to move the connected loading panel in a vertical direction on the upper side of the first moving module so that the loading panel loaded with the luggage is aligned vertically,
wherein the first moving module includes a ball housing having a seating groove at a top, and a support ball that is seated in the seating groove of the ball housing and moves in a rolling motion in the seating groove.

11. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 10 , wherein the first moving module further includes a ball cover on which a through hole matched with the seating groove and opened to surround a portion of the support ball is provided so that when coupled to the top of the ball housing, the support ball is prevented from being separated from the seating groove.

12. The luggage loading device for mobility according to claim 10 , wherein the loading panel includes a plurality of opening holes which are respectively matched to a plurality of the first moving modules and through which the support balls of the respective first moving modules pass.

13. A luggage loading method for operating a luggage loading device for mobility, comprising:
a setting step of setting a loading order according to information of luggage;
a loading step of loading each luggage into loading space by a first moving module according to the loading order; and
an arrangement step of controlling a second moving module to move a loading panel loaded with the luggage upward when a bottom surface of the loading space is saturated with the luggage,
wherein the loading panel is provided on an upper side of the first moving module to exposes the first moving module while covering the bottom surface of the loading space, and loads the luggage,
the second moving module is provided in the loading space, is connected to the loading panel and is configured to move the connected loading panel in a vertical direction on the upper side of the first moving module so that the loading panel loaded with the luggage is aligned vertically, and
the second moving module includes a plurality of guide rails that are provided on an inner wall forming the loading space of the mobility and extends in the vertical direction, and a plurality of moving modules that are movably installed along the guide rails and are connected to the loading panel.

14. The luggage loading method according to claim 13 , wherein the setting step comprising: setting the loading order according to a size of the luggage and a delivery order of the luggage.

15. The luggage loading method according to claim 13 , wherein when the loading panel is composed of a plurality of loading panels and the loading panels are stacked in the vertical direction, and
the arrangement step further comprises: if a distance between an uppermost end of the loading space and the luggage or a distance between the loading panel and the luggage is less than a set distance based on information according to the distance between the uppermost end of the loading space and the luggage or the distance between the lo
