Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gate assembly having a vertical gate pole, a gate pivotable about and vertically displaceable along said pole, and a mechanism for automatically opening and closing the gate comprising a gate-supporting roller which rests on a stationary cam track having a lowermost point which determines a rest position of the gate corresponding to the closed position thereof, said track climbing on at least one side of said point in order that the gate when swung from the closed position shall be returned by gravity to the closed position by the support roller rolling down the cam track, an abutment which is movable between a position obstructing the path of the support roller along the cam track, in which position it allows movement of the support roller over the abutment in a direction away from the rest position but prevents the support roller from returning to the rest position, and another position in which the abutment to a major part is removed from the path of the support roller in order to allow the support roller to return along the cam track to the rest position.
  • GB-A-481,285 describes a gate assembly of the type referred to wherein the gate is swung to opened position by being pushed out of the way by a vehicle which presses against the gate, and then automatically swings back to the closed position thereof when the vehicle has passed through the gate opening.
  • the abutment comprises a pivoted cam. During the opening movement of the gate the roller moves onto the cam from one side of the pivot axis thereof and then the cam pivots when the gate is substantially in a 45° position to allow the roller to move downwards along the cam at the other side of the pivot axis, the gate thereby moving to opened position. Then, the gate returns to the closed position, the abutment being displaced from the path of the roller.
  • a drawback of this prior art gate is that it returns too rapidly to the closed position thereof so that there is a risk that the vehicle passing through the gate opening rubs the side against the gate whereby the gate can get caught on the vehicle or can cause damage thereon.
  • the invention provides a gate assembly of the type referred to above with the characteristics appearing from claim 1.
  • the gate of Fig. 1 comprises a tube construction 10 which is journalled by means of a vertical tube 11 on a gate pole 12.
  • the gate has vertical tubes 13 suitably spaced in order that a vehicle which moves towards the gate shall hit the gate with the bumper thereof at these tubes and push the gate out of the way from the closed position thereof when the vehicle is moving through the gate opening.
  • the gate tube 11 is journalled on the tubular gate pole 12 by means of bushings 14 which can be provided at top and bottom in the tube 11 and possibly at one or more positions therebetween.
  • the gate tube 11 is not only pivotable but also displaceable vertically on the gate pole 12, and one or more grease fittings 15 are provided for lubricating the bearings between the gate tube and the gate pole so that the gate tube runs easily on the gate pole.
  • the gate tube 11 is closed by a cover 16 which can be secured by means of a lock bolt 17 or the like.
  • a support roller 18 formed as a ball bearing roller with a trunnion 19 secured by a screw connection 20 to the gate tube.
  • the screw connection is covered externally by a metal sheet casing 21.
  • the support roller 18 is received by an opening 22 in the gate pole 12, and the lower edge of this opening forms a cam track 23 climbing progressively in the direction of the arrow 24 from the position of the support roller 18, shown to the right in Fig. 2. Said position of the support roller 18 corresponds to the closed position of the gate 10.
  • a tubular element 25 is mounted for axial displacement, and this element is non-rotatably guided by means of an axially extending rib 26 fixedly arranged inside the gate pole 12.
  • a bracket 27 having a socket 28 at the outer end thereof the element 25 is secured to the piston rod 29 of a hydraulic ram 30 by means of a screw connection 31, and the ram 30 is connected at the upper end thereof to a ring or plate 32 which in turn is secured to the gate pole 12 by means of a screw connection 33.
  • the hydraulic ram 30 is of the type (shock absorber) having a spring which biases the piston of the hydraulic ram in one direction which is assumed to correspond in the present case to displacement of the piston rod 29 in upward direction.
  • the piston of the hydraulic ram 30 has a valve controlled connection between the cylinder spaces filled with hydraulic fluid on each side of the piston, said connection being of the kind allowing fluid to pass between the opposite sides of the piston when the piston is displaced upwardly under the bias of the spring while the flow of the fluid is choked when the piston is displaced downwardly in the cylinder against the bias of the spring.
  • the element 25 forms a crest 34 having a gently sloping ramp 35 and a steeper ramp 36, and under the bias of the spring in the hydraulic ram 30 this crest is located in the path of the support roller 18 along the cam track 23 as is shown in Fig. 2, the crest 34 projecting upwardly from the cam track 23 as a nose.
  • the crest is kept in this position by the spring and it can be depressed from said position by a slow motion only against the bias of the spring because the choked flow of hydraulic fluid between the opposite sides of the piston retards such depression.
  • the piston has a stroke which is large enough for the crest to be depressed sufficiently to a position wherein it is flush with the cam track 23, or at least to a position wherein the crest projects slightly from this cam track.
  • the crest will rapidly return to the position shown under the bias of the spring in the hydraulic ram 30 because the fluid can then pass rapidly from one side of the piston to the other side thereof.
  • the support roller 18 will be caught by the crest 34 at the side of the crest where the ramp 35 is provided, and will now be in the position 18' as indicated by dash and dot lines, in which the gate is fully opened and thus is swung substantially 90° or preferably more than 90° from the position shown in Fig. 1. Having passed the top of the crest 34 the support roller 18 will roll down the ramp 35 under the weight of the gate so that the gate as a consequence thereof will be swung automatically to opened position without the vehicle pushing against the gate. This automatic swinging can begin in a 45° to 60° position of the gate.
  • the support roller 18 Resting against the cam track 23 and against the ramp 35 the support roller 18 will cause a pressure against the crest 34 in the position 18', said pressure being dependent on the weight of the gate, and the crest will then move slowly downwards against the bias of the spring provided in the ram 30, as allowed by the flow of hydraulic fluid between the two sides of the piston through the choked opening therein. Eventually, the crest 34 will reach a position in which the support roller 18 can roll along the cam track 23 back to the position shown by solid lines in Fig. 2.
  • the gate will be swung automatically to the opened position when such movement has been initiated by a vehicle moving against the gate and pushing it out of the way, and the gate will also be securely retained in the opened position thereof in order that the gate shall return after a delay to the closed position thereof. Moreover, it is possible to adapt the delay in such a manner that the gate will be maintained in the opened position long enough for a vehicle of maximum length to pass through the gate opening at a low speed.
  • the arrangement allows the gate to be swung towards one side only, but of course it is possible to provide the element 25 with two diametrically opposite crests 34 and to make the opening 22 in the gate pole sufficiently large so that the gate can be swung towards one side or the other from a rest position in which the gate is closed and will be retained for delayed return independently of the gate being swung towards one side or the other.
  • the same element 25 and the same hydraulic ram 30 can control the delay towards both sides.
  • the invention is not, of course, limited to the embodiment shown but can be designed in other ways within the scope of the accompanying claims. This is true e.g. for the arrangement of the hydraulic ram 30 which is shown in a suspended position but can be arranged also in a standing position inside the gate pole 12. It is also possible to let the ram 30 move together with the element 25 while the piston rod 29 is fixedly secured to the gate pole 12. Moreover, the element 25 can be arranged in different ways but the tubular embodiment shown herein would be preferred considering that the element thereby can be guided in a relatively simple manner.
  • the spring can be arranged outside the cylinder instead of being located inside the cylinder as has been said to be the case in the embodiment shown.
