Abstract

A control method according to the invention for operating a turnstile arrangement, in which there are provided blocking means which are arranged about an axis of rotation and which, during normal operation, can be actuated successively, after the opening of a passage for a person, into a position blocking this passage and, when an event disturbing normal operation, such as a power failure, occurs, can be moved at least out of their blocking position into a position of non-use allowing the unchecked passage of persons, provides, after the movement of a blocking arm into its position of non-use, when the triggering event lapses, for returning this blocking means as a result of the action of return forces into its normal operating position and for locking it releasably in this. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Steuerungsverfahren zum Betreiben einer der Personendurchgangskontrolle dienenden Drehkreuzanlage mit einem um eine anlagenfeste Anlenkachse drehbarem Sperrelement, das unter Einschluß vorzugsweise gleicher Winkel sich von der Anlenkachse forterstreckende Sperrmittel besitzt, die aus ihren normalen Betriebsstellungen in Nichtgebrauchsstellungen bewegbar und im übrigen infolge Drehung des Sperrelements um seine Anlenkachse nacheinander aus einer einen Personendurchgang sperrenden in eine letzteren freigebende Drehstellung betätigbar sind, wobei jeweils beim Fortschalten eines Sperrmittels aus seiner Sperrposition in eine den Personendurchgang freigebende Stellung das in Drehrichtung folgende Sperrmittel in Sperrposition bewegt wird und beim Eintreten eines den Normalbetrieb störenden Ereignisses, wie Stromausfall, zumindest das in Sperrposition stehende Sperrmittel aus einer den Personendurchgang sperrenden Lage in eine den unkontrollierten Durchgang von Personen ermöglichende Nichtgebrauchsstellung bewegbar ist.The invention relates to a control method for operating a turnstile system serving the passage of persons with a locking element which can be rotated about a fixed articulation axis and which, including preferably the same angle, has locking means extending from the articulation axis, which can be moved from its normal operating positions into non-use positions and, moreover, as a result of rotation of the locking element about its articulation axis can be actuated one after the other from a rotary position blocking a passage of the person into a releasing position, wherein when a blocking means is advanced from its blocking position into a position releasing the passage of the person, the blocking means that follows in the direction of rotation is moved into the blocking position and when an event disturbing normal operation occurs, such as a power failure, at least the blocking means in the blocking position from a position blocking the passage of people into an uncontrolled passage from P enabling non-use position is movable.

Aus der DE-PS 28 25 787 ist bereits eine Drehkreuzanlage für die Durchgangskontrolle von Personen mit einem um eine unter 45° gegenüber einer Lotrechten geneigte Drehachse drehbaren Drehkreuz als Sperrelement bekannt. Das Drehkreuz besitzt drei sich trigonal von einem Lagerteller forterstreckende Sperrarme, die beim Drehen des Drehkreuzes um seine Lagerachse nacheinander in eine im wesentlichen horizontale Sperrlage bzw. den Personendurchgang freigebende Stellungen bewegbar sind. Diese Sperrarme stehen normalerweise unter einem vorbestimmten Winkel zur Drehachse von dem Lagerteller vor, sind an letzterem aber abklappbar angelenkt und mittels lösbarer Verrastungen in ihren normalen Betriebsstellungen gehalten.From DE-PS 28 25 787 a turnstile system for the passage control of people with a turnstile which is rotatable about an axis of rotation inclined at 45 ° with respect to a vertical is known as a locking element. The turnstile has three locking arms extending trigonally from a bearing plate, which arms can be moved one after the other into a substantially horizontal locking position or positions that release the passage of people when the turnstile is rotated about its bearing axis. These locking arms normally protrude from the bearing plate at a predetermined angle to the axis of rotation, but are hinged to the latter and held in their normal operating positions by means of releasable catches.

Drehkreuzanlagen dieser Art haben sich als Mittel zur Personendurchgangskontrolle bestens bewährt, und zwar insbesondere auch deshalb, weil beispielsweise bei einer Halterung der Sperrarme in ihren normalen Betriebsstellungen, in denen sie durch Drehung des Sperrelementes nacheinander in eine einen Personendurchgang absperrende Sperrposition gelangen, mittels einer elektromagnetischen Verrastung bei Stromausfall oder beabsichtigter Stromabschaltung die in Sperrposition stehenden Sperrarme unter Schwerkraftwirkung in den jeweiligen Personendurchgang freigebende Abklapplagen verschwenken. Im Falle von Betriebsstörungen ist mithin sichergestellt, daß in einem mittels derartiger Drehkreuzanlagen gesicherten Areal etwa im Gefahrenfalle Mitarbeiter nicht eingeschlossen werden, sondern ein derartiges Areal über die dann als Fluchtweg nutzbare Drehkreuzanlage im wesentlichen ungehindert verlassen können.Turnstile systems of this type have proven their worth as a means of controlling the passage of people, in particular because, for example, when the locking arms are held in their normal operating positions, in which they come into a blocking position blocking a passage of people by rotating the locking element, by means of electromagnetic latching in the event of a power failure or intended power cut-off, pivot the locking arms that are in the blocking position under the action of gravity into the respective passage of people. In the event of operational disruptions, it is thus ensured that employees are not trapped in an area secured by means of such turnstile systems, for example in the event of danger, but can leave such an area essentially unhindered via the turnstile system which can then be used as an escape route.

Unbefriedigend ist indessen, daß nach einem das Abklappen der Sperrelemente bewirkenden Ereignis, wie beispielsweise Stromausfall, es eines umständlichen und zeitaufwendigen Wiedereinrichtens der Drehkreuzanlagen bedarf, indem die zuvor aus ihren Sperrpositionen beim Auftreten des störenden Ereignisses abgeklappten Sperrarme von Hand in ihre normalen Betriebsstellungen zurückgeführt werden müssen. Dies ist besonders lästig dann, wenn beispielsweise ein größeres Betriebsgelände mittels einer Vielzahl derartiger Drehkreuzanlagen gesichert ist.It is unsatisfactory, however, that after an event causing the locking elements to fold down, such as a power failure, the turnstile systems need to be laborious and time-consuming to be re-installed, in that the locking arms, which had previously been folded out of their locking positions when the disruptive event occurred, must be returned to their normal operating positions by hand . This is particularly troublesome when, for example, a larger company site is secured by means of a large number of such turnstile systems.

Eine ganz ähnliche Drehkreuzanlage ist auch aus dem DE-Gebrauchsmuster 69 37 378 vorbekannt; bei der ebenfalls an einer um eine geneigt zur Lotrechten verlaufende Drehachse drehbaren Lagerscheibe drei Sperrarme angeordnet sind, die infolge Drehung der Lagerscheibe nacheinander in eine horizontale Sperrstellung gelangen und in dieser einen Personendurchgang sperren. Auch bei dieser Drehkreuzanlage sind die Sperrarme nach dem Lösen der sie in ihren Normalstellungen haltenden Verrastungen abklappbar mit der Folge, daß beim Auftreten eines derartigen Ereignisses der jeweils in Sperrstellung befindliche Sperrarm unter Schwerkraftwirkung in eine den betreffenden Durchgang freigebende Lage verschwenkt.A very similar turnstile system is also known from DE utility model 69 37 378; in which three locking arms are also arranged on a bearing disc that is rotatable about an axis of rotation that is inclined to the vertical. In this turnstile system too, the locking arms can be folded down after releasing the latches holding them in their normal positions, with the result that when such an event occurs, the locking arm in the locking position is pivoted under gravity into a position releasing the passage in question.

Auch bei dieser vorbekannten Drehkreuzanlage ist unbefriedigend, daß bei Wegfall des das Abklappen des jeweils in der Sperrposition stehenden Sperrarmes bewirkenden Ereignisses, also bei Wiederaufnahme des Normalbetriebs, dieser Sperrarm manuell in seine bestimmungsgemäße Lage zurückgeklappt werden muß.Also with this known turnstile system it is unsatisfactory that if the event causing the folding of the blocking arm standing in the blocking position, ie when normal operation is resumed, this blocking arm has to be manually folded back into its intended position.

Schließlich ist auch schon aus der DE-OS 40 36 878 eine Drehkreuzanlage bekannt, bei der radial um eine Führungssäule mit vertikaler Drehachse angeordnete Sperrflügel als Sperrmittel vorgesehen und zur Schaffung von Fluchtwegen im Gefahrenfalle wenigstens zwei Sperrflügel jeweils um zur Drehkreuz-Drehachse parallele Achsen verschwenkbar bzw. aus ihren Sperrlagen abklappbar sind. Durch das Abklappen der Sperrflügel wird auch bei dieser Drehkreuzanlage ein unkontrollierter Personendurchgang freigegeben.Finally, a turnstile system is also known from DE-OS 40 36 878, in which locking wings arranged radially around a guide column with a vertical axis of rotation are provided as locking means and to create escape routes in the event of danger, at least two locking wings can be pivoted or pivoted about axes parallel to the turnstile axis of rotation can be folded down from their blocked positions. By folding down the locking wing, an uncontrolled passage of people is also released with this turnstile system.

Während bei den oben behandelten Drehkreuzanlagen mit in der Sperrposition in einen Personendurchgang vorstehenden Sperrarmen letztere in Abhängigkeit von einem definierten Ereignis selbsttätig in eine den Personendurchgang freigebende Lage abklappen, bedarf es bei der zuletzt behandelten Drehkreuzanlage eines Verschwenkens der abklappbaren Sperrflügel um ihre parallel zur Drehachse des Sperrelements verlaufenden Anlenkachsen und nach Wegfall des genannten Ereignisses müssen die abgeklappten Sperrflügel manuell in ihre bestimmungsgemäßen Normallagen zurückgeklappt werden. Dies ist umständlich und zeitraubend.While the turnstile systems with the locking arms protruding into the passage of a person in the locked position fold the latter automatically into a position allowing the passage of people depending on a defined event, the turnstile system discussed last requires the hinged locking wings to be pivoted about their parallel to the axis of rotation of the locking element extending articulation axes and after the mentioned event ceases to exist, the folded-off locking sashes must be manually folded back into their normal normal positions. This is cumbersome and time consuming.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Steuerungsverfahren zu schaffen, bei dem ein aus seiner Sperrstellung in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung bewegtes Sperrmittel einer Drehkreuzanlage zwangsweise und ohne manuelle Betätigung in seine bestimmungsgemäße Normallage rückgestellt wird. Es soll somit ein Steuerungsverfahren angegeben werden, das ein selbsttätiges Rückkehren der Drehkreuzanlage in den betriebsfähigen Normalzustand ermöglicht.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a control method in which a blocking means of a turnstile system which is moved from its blocking position into a non-use position is forcibly returned to its intended normal position without manual actuation. A control method is thus to be specified which enables the turnstile system to automatically return to the operational normal state.

Gelöst ist diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß bei einer Drehkreuzanlage der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Art nach dem Wegfall eines die Bewegbarkeit zumindest des in Sperrposition stehenden Sperrmittels in die Nichtgebrauchsstellung auslösenden Ereignisses dieses Sperrmittel durch die Einwirkung von Rückstellkräften in bezug auf die Anlenkachse des Sperrelements in seine normale Betriebsstellung rückgestellt und in dieser Betriebsstellung lösbar verrastet wird.This object is achieved in that in a turnstile system of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1 after the elimination of an event that triggers the mobility of at least the blocking means in the non-use position, this blocking means by the action of restoring forces with respect to the articulation axis of the blocking element in its normal operating position is reset and releasably locked in this operating position.

Charakteristisch für das erfindungsgemäße Steuerungsverfahren ist somit, daß nach Wegfall eines den Normalbetrieb störenden Ereignisses, welches die Bewegung zumindest des in Sperrposition stehenden Sperrmittels in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung bewirkt hat,auf ein in seiher Nichtgebrauchslage stehendes Sperrmittel Rückstellkräfte zur Einwirkung gebracht werden und daß dadurch dieses Sperrmittel in seine normale Betriebsstellung zurückgeführt, mithin also die Drehkreuzanlage für die Wiederaufnahme des Normalbetriebes eingerichtet wird.It is characteristic of the control method according to the invention that after an event disturbing normal operation, which has caused the movement of at least the blocking means in the blocking position into a non-use position, restoring forces are brought into effect on a blocking means that is not in use and this blocking means is thereby brought into effect returned to its normal operating position, thus setting up the turnstile system for resuming normal operation.

Eine sinnvolle Weiterbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Steuerungsverfahrens sieht vor, daß bei einer Drehkreuzanlage, deren Sperrelement mit einem elektrischen Fortschaltmotor in Antriebsverbindung steht, nach Wegfall des die Bewegbarkeit zumindest des in Sperrposition stehenden Sperrmittels in dessen Nichtgebrauchsstellung auslösenden Ereignisses die das Rückstellen eines in einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung stehenden Sperrmittels in seine normale Betriebsstellung bewirkenden Rückstellkräfte durch Fortschalten des Sperrmittels um wenigstens einen Fortschaltschrtt zur Einwirkung auf das abgeklappte Sperrmittel gebracht werden.A sensible development of the control method according to the invention provides that in a turnstile system, the locking element of which is connected to an electric indexing motor in drive connection, after the event that triggers the mobility of at least the locking means in its non-use position in its non-use position, the resetting of a locking means in a non-use position in restoring forces causing its normal operating position can be brought into effect by advancing the locking means by at least one advancing step on the folded locking means.

Bei dieser Weiterbildung der Erfindung handelt es sich somit darum, daß die das Rückstellen eines aus seiner normalen Betriebsstellung in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung bewegten Sperrmittels bewirkenden Rückstellkräfte in Abhängigkeit vom Fortschalten des Sperrelements zur rückstellenden Einwirkung auf das in der Nichtgebrauchslage stehende Sperrmittel gebracht werden.This further development of the invention is therefore that the restoring forces which cause the resetting of a locking means which is moved from its normal operating position into a non-use position, depending on the advancement of the locking element, are brought to restoring action on the locking means in the non-use position.

Bei einer Drehkreuzanlage mit einer gegenüber einer Horizontalen geneigten Drehachse des Sperrelements und in ihren Sperrpositionen zumindest annähernd horizontal stehenden sowie bei Eintritt des die Bewegbarkeit des in Sperrposition stehenden Sperrmittels in eine Nichtgebrauchslage auslösenden Ereignisses unter Schwerkraftwirkung abklappenden Sperrarmen als Sperrmittel kann, gemäß einer anderen Weiterbildung der Erfindung, die Rückstellung eines abgeklappten Sperrmittels unter Schwerkraftwirkung erfolgen, wenn beim Fortschalten des Sperrelements die Anlenkachse dieses Sperrmittels an das Sperrelement einen unteren Bereich ihrer Umlaufbahn beim Drehen des Sperrelements um dessen Drehachse durchläuft. In diesem Drehbereich des Sperrmittels wirken die in dessen Schwerpunkt angreifenden Gewichtskräfte im Sinne einer Rückstellung in eine dem Normalbetrieb entsprechende Position des Sperrmittels.In a turnstile system with an axis of rotation of the locking element that is inclined with respect to a horizontal and in its locking positions at least approximately horizontally, and when the locking arm that folds the mobility of the locking position into a non-use position under gravity can act as locking means, according to another development of the invention , the return of a folded locking means under the action of gravity when when pivoting the locking element the articulation axis of this locking means to the locking element passes through a lower region of its orbit when the locking element is rotated about its axis of rotation. In this area of rotation of the locking means, the weight forces acting in its center of gravity act in the sense of a return to a position of the locking means corresponding to normal operation.

Mit besonders großer Sicherheit erfolgt die Rückstellung eines in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung abgeklappten Sperrmittels in seine normale Betriebsstellung, wenn bei einer Drehkreuzanlage mit drei etwa trigonal zur Achse des Sperrelements angeordneten Sperrarmen das Rückstellen beim Fortschalten des Sperrelements um wenigstens zwei aufeinanderfolgende Schaltschritte durchgeführt wird, also der in Abklapplage befindliche Sperrarm mit seinem Anlenkpunkt am Sperrelement den unteren Kulminationsbereich seiner Umlaufbahn durchläuft.A locking device folded down into a non-use position is returned to its normal operating position with a particularly high degree of security if, in the case of a turnstile system with three locking arms arranged approximately trigonal to the axis of the locking element, the reset is carried out by advancing the locking element by at least two successive switching steps, that is to say in the folded-down position located Lock arm with its articulation point on the locking element passes through the lower culmination area of its orbit.

Schließlich sieht eine andere sehr wichtige Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Steuerungsverfahrens vor, daß die in ihre Nichtgebrauchsstellungen bewegten Sperrmittel nach Wegfall des diese Bewegbarkeit auslösenden Ereignisses beim Weiterschalten des Sperrelements infolge dabei auftretender und auf diese Sperrmittel wirkender Fliehkräfte in ihre Normalstellungen rückgestellt werden.Finally, another very important embodiment of the control method according to the invention provides that the locking means which are moved into their non-use positions are reset to their normal positions after the event triggering this mobility has ceased when the locking element is switched on as a result of centrifugal forces which occur and act on these locking means.

Während bei den weiter oben erörterten Weiterbildungen das Rückstellen eines Sperrmittels aus seiner abgeklappten Nichtgebrauchsstellung in die normale Betriebsstellung beim Umlaufen des Sperrelements unter Schwerkraftwirkung durchgeführt wurde, werden bei der zuletzt erörterten Weiterbildung die Rückstellkräfte in Form von Fliehkräften auf die abgeklappten Sperrmittel aufgebracht. Diese Fliehkräfte greifen immer im Schwerpunkt der abgeklappten Sperrmittel an und sind radial zur Rotationsachse gerichtet, haben aber regelmäßig in eine senkrecht zur Abklappachse verlaufende Richtung fallende Komponenten, die rückstellend und im Sinne eines Wiedereinrichtens in den normalen Betriebsstellungen wirken.While in the further developments discussed above, the resetting of a locking means from its folded non-use position into the normal operating position was carried out when the locking element rotated under the action of gravity, the restoring forces in the form of centrifugal forces were applied to the folded locking means in the last-discussed further development. These centrifugal forces always act on the center of gravity of the folded-off locking means and are directed radially to the axis of rotation, but regularly have components falling in a direction perpendicular to the axis of folding, which have a resetting effect and in the sense of re-setting in the normal operating positions.

Bei der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Drehkreuzanlage 10 ist auf einer Ständersäule 11 eine Antriebseinheit 12 mit einem Drehkreuz 13 aufgenommen, das drei jeweils um 120° zueinander versetzt angeordnete Sperrarme 14 aufweist und um eine gegenüber einer - gedachten - Horizontalen um etwa 45° geneigte Drehachse 15 drehbar an der Antriebseinheit 12 gelagert ist. Die Sperrarme sind ihrerseits um rechtwinklig zur Drehachse des Drehkreuzes verlaufende Anlenkachsen aus ihren insbesondere in Fig. 1 gezeigten Normalstellungen in Nichtgebrauchsstellungen abklappbar an einem Lagerteller 16 angelenkt, der seinerseits mit einem in der Antriebseinheit 12 aufgenommenen - nicht gezeigten - Fortschaltmotor in direkter Antriebsverbindung steht und mithin beim Fortschalten um die genannte Drehachse 15 drehbar ist. Die Sperrarme 14 erstrecken sich trigonal von dem Lagerteller 16 fort, und zwar auf dem Mantel eines gedachten, sich nach der vom Lagerteller wegweisenden Seite öffnenden Kegelmantels liegend.In the turnstile system 10 shown in the drawing, a drive unit 12 with a turnstile 13 is accommodated on a column 11, which has three locking arms 14 which are each offset by 120 ° and about an axis of rotation inclined by about 45 ° with respect to an imaginary horizontal 15 is rotatably mounted on the drive unit 12. The locking arms are in turn hinged about articulation axes running at right angles to the axis of rotation of the turnstile from their normal positions shown in particular in FIG. 1 in non-use positions on a bearing plate 16, which in turn is in direct drive connection with a stepping motor accommodated in the drive unit 12 - not shown - and therefore is rotatable when advancing about said axis of rotation 15. The locking arms 14 extend trigonally from the bearing plate 16, specifically on the surface of an imaginary cone shell that opens towards the side facing away from the bearing plate.

Im Normalbetrieb steht jeweils einer der drei Sperrarme 14 in einer Horizontalen, in einen Personendurchgang hineinragenden Sperrstellung, während die übrigen beiden Sperrarme 14 aus dem Durchgang in schräg nach unten weisende Lagen verschwenkt sind, wie dies insbesondere die Fig. 1 und 3 zeigen. Wenn eine Person die Drehkreuzanlage 10 betritt, wird der in Sperrstellung stehende Sperrarm infolge Auslösung durch diese Person mittels des Fortschaltmotors durch Drehung des Lagertellers 16 und damit des Drehkreuzes 13 aus seiner Sperrstellung bewegt und mithin der Personendurchgang freigegeben. Gleichzeitig gelangt der in Drehrichtung folgende Sperrarm 14 in eine den Durchgang hinter einer letzteren passierenden Person sperrende Sperrlage.In normal operation, one of the three locking arms 14 is in a horizontal locking position protruding into a person passage, while the other two locking arms 14 are pivoted out of the passage into obliquely downward positions, as shown in particular in FIGS. 1 and 3. When a person enters the turnstile system 10, the locking arm which is in the locked position is moved out of its locked position as a result of being triggered by this person by means of the indexing motor by rotating the bearing plate 16 and thus the turnstile 13, and consequently the passage of people is released. At the same time, the blocking arm 14 following in the direction of rotation reaches a blocking position blocking the passage behind a person passing the latter.

Bei der gezeigten Drehkreuzanlage 10 mit jeweils um 120° gegeneinander versetzt angeordneten Sperrarmen 14 entspricht einem Drehtakt des Drehkreuzes 13 eine Drehung von 120° und es steht jeweils ein Sperrarm im Normalbetrieb in einer den Personendurchgang sperrenden Sperrposition. Dabei sind, wie unten noch im einzelnen erläutert wird, die am Lagerteller 16 um eine Anlenkachse abklappbaren Sperrarme 14 in den insbesodere aus Fig. 1 ersichtlichen normalen Betriebsstellungen lösbar verrastet und in diesen Verrastungslagen durch Elektromagnete gehalten, was unten in Verbindung mit Fig. 5 noch näher erläutert wird. Wenn nun infolge Stromabschaltung oder Netzausfall die elektromagnetische Halterung der Sperrarme in den genannten Verratungslagen wegfällt, klappt der jeweils in seiner im wesentlichen horizontalen Sperrposition stehende Sperrarm 14 unter Schwerkraftwirkung aus dieser Sperrposition, die der normalen Betriebsstellung entspricht, in eine den zugeordneten Personendurchgang freigebende Nichtgebrauchsstellung ab, wie dies Fig. 3 zeigt. Da angesichts der Darstellung des Drehkreuzes 13 die beiden anderen Sperrarme den Durchgang ebenfalls freigeben, ist nach dem Abklappen des ursprünglich in der Sperrstellung stehenden Sperrarms ein unkontrollierter Personendurchgang möglich.In the turnstile system 10 shown, each with locking arms 14 arranged offset by 120 ° relative to one another, one turn of the turnstile 13 corresponds to one Rotation of 120 ° and there is a locking arm in normal operation in a blocking position blocking the passage of people. Here, as will be explained in more detail below, the locking arms 14 which can be folded down about a pivot axis on the bearing plate 16 are releasably locked in the normal operating positions shown in particular in FIG. 1 and are held in these locking positions by electromagnets, which in connection with FIG. 5 below is explained in more detail. If, as a result of a power cut or a power failure, the electromagnetic holding of the locking arms in the above-mentioned betrayal positions ceases, the locking arm 14, which is in its essentially horizontal locking position, folds out of this locking position, which corresponds to the normal operating position, under gravity into a non-use position which releases the assigned passage of people, as shown in Fig. 3. Since, in view of the representation of the turnstile 13, the other two locking arms also release the passage, an uncontrolled passage of people is possible after the locking arm originally standing in the blocking position has been folded down.

Nach Wegfall des das Abklappen des jeweils in Sperrposition stehenden Sperrarms auslösenden Ereignisses erfolgt erfindungsgemäß das Wiedereinrichten der Drehkreuzanlage 10 in ihren normalen Betriebszustand dadurch, daß der Fortschaltmotor das Drehkreuz 13 in solcher Weise durch Drehung um die Drehachse 15 weiterschaltet, daß der in Nichtgebrauchsstellung abgeklappte Sperrarm 14 beim Fortschalten unter Schwerkraftwirkung um seine Anlenkachse am Lagerteller 16 in seine normale Betriebsstellung zurückverschwenkt und dort verrastet. Dieses Zurückverschwenken eines abgeklappten Sperrarms in seine normale Betriebsstellung wird in besonders sicherer Weise dann erreicht, wenn bei einem Drehkreuz mit drei unter jeweils 120° gegeneinander versetzt angeordneten Sperrarmen nach Wegfall des das Abklappen eines Sperrarmes auslösenden Ereignisses das Drehkreuz um wenigstens zwei Fortschaltschritte weitergeschaltet wird, so daß die Anlenkachse des aus seiner Nichtgebrauchslage in die normale Gebrauchslage zurückzustellenden Sperrarms 14 am Lagerteller 16 den unteren Kulminationspunkt ihrer Umlaufbahn durchläuft.After the event that triggers the folding of the blocking arm, which is in the blocking position, is eliminated, the turnstile system 10 is restored to its normal operating state according to the invention in that the indexing motor switches the turnstile 13 through rotation about the axis of rotation 15 in such a way that the blocking arm 14 folded down in the non-use position when shifted under the action of gravity about its articulation axis on the bearing plate 16 pivoted back into its normal operating position and locked there. This swiveling back of a folded-out locking arm into its normal operating position is achieved in a particularly safe manner if, in the case of a turnstile with three locking arms arranged at 120 ° to one another, the turnstile is switched on by at least two incremental steps after the event that triggers the folding arm is removed that the articulation axis of the locking arm 14 to be returned from its non-use position into the normal use position on the bearing plate 16 passes through the lower culmination point of its orbit.

In Fig. 5 ist bei Weglassung der übrigen Sperrarme die aus der gezeigten Betriebsstellung in eine Nichtgebrauchsstellung abklappbare Anlenkung eines Sperrarms 14 am Lagerteller 16 der Antriebseinheit 12 veranschaulicht. Dieser Anlenkung dienen rechtwinklig zur Drehachse 15 des Drehkreuzes 13 verlaufende Lagerzapfen 20. Diese Lagerzapfen sind in hier nicht weiter interessierender Weise am Lagerteller 16 aufgenommen, der seinerseits drehfest an einem mit der Antriebswelle des Fortschaltmotors in Antriebsverbindung stehenden Blockkörper 21 befestigt ist. Auf dieser Lagerzapfen ist jeweils eine am Ende des betreffenden Sperrarms 14 angeordnete Lagerzunge 22 schwenkbar aufgenommen. Auf der vom eigentlichen Sperrarm abgewandten Seite vom Lagerzapfen 20 besitzt die jeweilige Lagerzunge eine Riegelschulter 23, die von einer Riegelnase 24 eines Drehriegels 25 hintergriffen wird. Dieser Drehriegel ist um einen parallel zur jeweiligen Anlenkachse des betreffenden Sperrarms an den Lagerteller 16 angeordneten Lagerstift 26 in einer Ausnehmung des drehfest mit dem Lagerteller 16 verbundenen Blockkörpers 21 schwenkbar gelagert, und zwar gegen die Wirkung einer Rückstellfeder 27.In FIG. 5, when the remaining locking arms are omitted, the articulation of a locking arm 14 on the bearing plate 16 of the drive unit 12, which can be folded down from the operating position shown into a non-use position, is illustrated. This articulation is used at right angles to the axis of rotation 15 of the turnstile 13 bearing journals 20. These bearing journals are accommodated in a manner of no further interest on the bearing plate 16, which in turn is fixed in a rotationally fixed manner to a block body 21 which is in drive connection with the drive shaft of the indexing motor. A bearing tongue 22, which is arranged at the end of the respective locking arm 14, is pivotably received on this bearing journal. On the side facing away from the actual locking arm of the bearing journal 20, the respective bearing tongue has a locking shoulder 23 which is engaged behind by a locking lug 24 of a rotating lock 25. This rotary latch is rotatably fixed about a bearing pin 26 arranged parallel to the respective articulation axis of the respective locking arm on the bearing plate 16 in a recess in the with the bearing plate 16 connected block body 21 pivotally mounted against the action of a return spring 27th

An ihrem vom jeweiligen Lagerstift abgewandten Ende besitzt der zugeordnete Drehriegel 25 eine radial nach außen gerichtete Nase 28, die von einem auf die Drehachse gerichteten Vorsprung 29 eines Schiebers 30 untergriffen ist. Dieser Schieber wird von einem Elektromagneten 31 in seiner in Fig. 5 gezeigten Stellung gehalten.At its end facing away from the respective bearing pin, the associated rotary latch 25 has a radially outwardly directed nose 28, which is gripped by a projection 29 of a slide 30 directed towards the axis of rotation. This slide is held by an electromagnet 31 in its position shown in FIG. 5.

Bei einem zu einer Betriebsstörung führenden Ereignis wird die Strombeaufschlagung des Elektromagneten 31 unterbrochen mit der Folge, daß eine an dem genannten Schieber 30 angreifende Rückstellfeder 32 den Schieber aus der in Fig. 5 ersichtlichen Halteposition anzieht und dabei den Drehriegel 25 um die von dem Lagerstift 26 gebildete Anlenkachse an dem Blockkörper 21 verschwenkt. Dadurch gelangt die Riegelnase 24 des Drehriegels außer Eingriff mit der Riegelschulter 23 der Lagerzunge 22 und danach verschwenkt der Sperrarm 14 unter der Wirkung seines Eigengewichtes aus seiner horizontalen Sperrlage in eine Vertikalstellung.In the event of an event that leads to a malfunction, the current supply to the electromagnet 31 is interrupted, with the result that a return spring 32 acting on the said slider 30 pulls the slider out of the holding position shown in FIG. 5 and thereby the rotary latch 25 by the bearing pin 26 formed pivot axis pivoted on the block body 21. As a result, the locking lug 24 of the rotary bolt disengages from the locking shoulder 23 of the bearing tongue 22 and then the locking arm 14 pivots out of its horizontal locking position into a vertical position under the effect of its own weight.

Die in Fig. 5 nicht veranschaulichten beiden Sperrarme sind in identischer Weise wie der dargestellte Sperrarm gelagert und in ihren normalen Betriebsstellungen gehalten bzw. aus diesen entriegelbar.The two locking arms, not shown in FIG. 5, are mounted in an identical manner to the locking arm shown and are held in their normal operating positions or can be unlocked from them.
