Abstract

In a turnstile with a housing (2), a drive shaft and barrier arms (4) projecting therefrom at offset angles, after the right of entry of a passing user (18) has been checked, a drive motor is started up contactlessly in order to rotate the turnstile from the blocking position of a barrier arm (4) to a subsequent narrow-angle stop position. The approach of the user (18) to the barrier arm in the stop position is recognised by an electro-optical sensor (5) which is arranged behind the barrier arm (4) in the direction of passage when in the blocking position in order to rotate the turnstile contactlessly into the next blocking position.

Description

Drehkreuz Turnstile
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Drehkreuz mit einem Gehäuse, einer Antriebswelle, und davon winkelversetzt abstehen¬ den Sperrarmen, von denen sich jeder in der Sperrstel¬ lung annähernd rechtwinklig zur Durchgangsrichtung er¬ streckt, mit einem Antriebsmotor, der insbesondere nach Überprüfung der Zutrittsberechtigung eines passierenden Benutzers berührungslos in Bewegung setzbar ist, um den nächsten Sperrarm des Drehkreuzes in die Sperrstellung zu verdrehen sowie ein Verfahren zu seiner Steuerung.The invention relates to a turnstile with a housing, a drive shaft, and locking arms protruding from it at an angle, each of which extends in the locked position approximately at right angles to the direction of passage, with a drive motor, which in particular after checking the access authorization of a passing user can be set in motion without contact in order to turn the next locking arm of the turnstile into the locking position and a method for its control.
Ein derartiges Drehkreuz ist beispielsweise der AT-B 389 736 zu entnehmen. Nicht näher erläuterte Annähe¬ rungs-sensoren mit einem Schaltabstand von ca. 5 cm er¬ kennen die Anwesenheit und Geschwindigkeit der passie¬ renden Person und setzen den Antriebsmotor in Bewegung, sodaß das Drehkreuz mit einer der Durchgangsgeschwin- digkeit angepaßten Geschwindigkeit angetrieben wird. Da jeder Sperrarm mit einem Annäherungssensor ausgestattet werden muß, und die vom jeweiligen Sensor abgegebenen Signale über die drehende Welle ins Gehäuse übertragen werden müssen, ist der Aufbau verhältnismäßig kompli- ziert und auch störungsanfällig.Such a turnstile can be found, for example, in AT-B 389 736. Proximity sensors (not explained in more detail) with a switching distance of approx. 5 cm recognize the presence and speed of the passing person and set the drive motor in motion, so that the turnstile is driven at a speed adapted to the passage speed. Since each locking arm must be equipped with a proximity sensor, and the signals emitted by the respective sensor must be transmitted into the housing via the rotating shaft, the structure is relatively complicated and also prone to failure.
Aus der SU-A 1 476 507 ist ein Drehkreuz bekannt, bei dem unterhalb des von den Sperrarmen beschriebenen Ke¬ gels ein Lichtstrahlennetz ausgebildet ist, das das Drehkreuz ergänzt. Das Drehkreuz weist eine Bremse auf, durch die das Drehkreuz in jeder beliebigen Position sperrbar ist, wobei keine bestimmte Sperrstellung fest¬ gelegt werden muß, da das Lichtstrahlennetz eine uner¬ laubte Passage in jedem Fall erkennt. Die Erfindung hat es sich nun zur Aufgabe gestellt, bei einem sich bei Annäherung eines berechtigten Passanten einschaltenden Drehkreuz einen einfacheren Aufbau sowie eine höhere Funktionssicherheit zu erzielen.A turnstile is known from SU-A 1 476 507, in which a light beam network is formed below the cone described by the blocking arms, which network supplements the turnstile. The turnstile has a brake, by means of which the turnstile can be locked in any position, with no particular locking position having to be determined, since the light beam network recognizes an unauthorized passage in any case. The invention has now set itself the task of achieving a simpler structure and greater functional reliability in the case of a turnstile which intervenes when an authorized passerby approaches.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß dem Be¬ reich der Sperrstellung ein optoelektronischer Sensor zugeordnet ist.This is achieved according to the invention in that an optoelectronic sensor is assigned to the area of the blocking position.
Sobald der Benutzer in den Detektionsbereich des optoelektronischen Sensors eintritt, der bevorzugt einen Winkel von maximal 20° umfaßt, wird der Antrieb des Drehkreuzes eingeschaltet. Der Sensor ist unterhalb oder oberhalb der Antriebswelle im Gehäuse installiert, sodaß die Signalübertragung zur Motorsteuerung in übli¬ cher Weise über feste Leitungen erfolgen kann.As soon as the user enters the detection area of the optoelectronic sensor, which preferably comprises an angle of at most 20 °, the drive of the turnstile is switched on. The sensor is installed below or above the drive shaft in the housing, so that the signal can be transmitted to the motor control in the usual way via fixed lines.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist vorgesehen, daß der optoelektronische Sensor zumindest einen auf Reflexionsänderungen eines ausgesendeten Lichtstrahles ansprechenden Lichttaster umfaßt, der mit einer Fremd¬ licht- und Hintergrundausblendung ausgestattet ist. Der ausgesendete Detektionsstrahl wird vom passierenden Benutzer reflektiert. Das reflektierte Licht trifft auf einen ersten Lichtempfänger, der den empfangenenIn a preferred embodiment it is provided that the optoelectronic sensor comprises at least one light scanner which is responsive to changes in reflection of an emitted light beam and which is equipped with an external light and background suppression. The transmitted detection beam is reflected by the passing user. The reflected light strikes a first light receiver, which is the one received
Lichtanteil mit jenem Lichtanteil vergleicht, der auf einen zweiten Lichtempfänger von dem im größeren Ab¬ stand liegenden Hintergrund reflektiert wird. Da die Positionen beider Lichtempfänger justierbar ist, ermög- licht dies die Begrenzung der Reichweite des Detekti- onsstrahles durch Festlegung des Abstandes seines Schnittpunktes mit dem Reflexionsstrahl des zweiten Lichtempfängers. Dieses Differenzverfahren ist weitge¬ hend unabhängig von den Reflexionseigenschaften. Bevor- zugt ist dabei vorgesehen, daß der Lichttaster Infra- rotlicht aussendet.Comparing the light component with that light component which is reflected on a second light receiver from the background which is at a greater distance. Since the positions of both light receivers can be adjusted, this makes it possible to limit the range of the detection beam by specifying the distance of its intersection with the reflection beam of the second light receiver. This difference method is largely independent of the reflection properties. Before- it is envisaged that the light sensor emits infrared light.
Eine erste Ausführung des Drehkreuzes sieht vor, daß die Sperrstellung des Sperrarmes mittig im Detektions- bereich des optoelektronischen Sensors liegt. In diesem Fall umfaßt der optoelektronische Sensor zwei Lichttaster, deren Detektionsstrahlen in einem kleinen Winkel zu beiden Seiten des Sperrarmes liegen. Diese Ausführung besitzt den zusätzlichen Vorteil, daß dieA first embodiment of the turnstile provides that the blocking position of the blocking arm lies in the center in the detection area of the optoelectronic sensor. In this case, the optoelectronic sensor comprises two light scanners, the detection beams of which are at a small angle on both sides of the blocking arm. This version has the additional advantage that the
Durchgangsrichtung leicht umkehrbar ist, sodaß ein der¬ artiges Drehkreuz durch einfache Umstellung der Steue¬ rung sowohl für Ein- als auch für Ausgänge verwendbar ist. In jedem Fall wird der Drehkreuzantrieb nur dann in Betrieb gesetzt, wenn der in Durchgangsrichtung er¬ ste Lichttaster anspricht; spricht hingegen der zweite Lichttaster zuerst an, so kann eine Bremse aktiviert werden.Direction of passage is easily reversible, so that such a turnstile can be used for both inputs and outputs by simply changing the control. In any case, the turnstile drive is only put into operation when the first light switch in the direction of passage responds; however, if the second light button responds first, a brake can be activated.
Ein aufgrund einer positiven Kontrolle freigegebenes Drehkreuz sollte vom Benutzer in Drehung gesetzt wer¬ den, sobald er zum Durchgang bereit ist, sodaß der nachfolgende Motorantrieb im erwarteten Augenblick er¬ folgt. Beim Drehkreuz nach der WO-A 93/03251 erfolgt daher nach Druck auf den Sperrarm des freigegebenenA turnstile released on the basis of a positive control should be set in rotation by the user as soon as it is ready for passage, so that the subsequent motor drive takes place at the expected moment. In the turnstile according to WO-A 93/03251, the released arm is released after pressure on the locking arm
Drehkreuzes zuerst nur eine Verdrehung um einen kleinen Winkel in eine nachfolgende Anhaltestellung, wobei ein Rastwiderstand überwunden werden muß. Der Benutzer rückt dann vor, und eine weitere äußere Beaufschlagung des Sperrarmes läßt dann den Antriebsmotor das Dreh¬ kreuz weiterdrehen, bis der nächste Sperrarm in der Sperrstellung liegt.Turnstile first only a small angle to a subsequent stop position, whereby a latching resistance must be overcome. The user then advances, and a further external action on the locking arm then allows the drive motor to continue rotating the turnstile until the next locking arm is in the locking position.
Eine derartige Steuerung läßt sich auch beim erfin- dungsgemäßen Drehkreuz erzielen, wenn das Drehkreuz eine in einem Winkel nach der Sperrstellung liegende Anhaltestellung aufweist, und wenn der optoelektroni¬ sche Sensor in der Durchgangsrichtung hinter dem in der Sperrstellung stehenden Sperrarm im Winkel zwischen der Sperrstellung und der Anhaltestellung angeordnet ist.Such a control can also be achieved with the turnstile according to the invention if the turnstile has a stopping position lying at an angle after the blocking position, and if the optoelectronic sensor is arranged in the passage direction behind the blocking arm standing in the blocking position at an angle between the blocking position and the stopping position.
Da bei einer derartigen Anordnung eines einzigen Lichttasters hinter dem in der Sperrstellung stehenden Sperrarm der Sperrarm das Ansprechen des Lichttasters auf einen vor dem Sperrarm stehenden Benutzer verhin¬ dert, sieht ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren für die Steuerung des Drehkreuzes vor, daß ein positives Kon¬ trollergebnis den Antriebsmotor in Betrieb setzt, sodaß der Sperrarm aus der Sperrstellung in die nachfolgende Anhaltestellung verdreht wird, in der der Detektions- strahl des Lichttasters den Benutzer erfassen kann, und daß der Sperrarm aufgrund eines Erkennungssignales des Lichttasters aus der Anhaltestellung weitergedreht wird, bis der nächste Sperrarm in der Sperrstellung liegt. Da damit weder in der Sperrstellung noch in der Anhaltestellung eine Beaufschlagung des Sperrarmes er¬ forderlich ist, kann das Drehkreuz auch auf Skiern und bei leicht steigendem Boden von kleineren Kindern ebenso wie von Erwachsenen passiert werden, ohne daß sich Schwierigkeiten ergeben.Since in such an arrangement of a single light button behind the blocking arm in the blocking position the blocking arm prevents the light button from responding to a user standing in front of the blocking arm, a method according to the invention for controlling the turnstile provides that a positive control result The drive motor is put into operation so that the blocking arm is rotated from the blocking position into the subsequent stopping position, in which the detection beam of the light button can detect the user, and that the blocking arm is rotated further from the stopping position based on a detection signal of the light button until the next blocking arm is in the locked position. Since this means that it is not necessary to apply the locking arm either in the locked position or in the stopping position, the turnstile can also be passed on skis and on slightly rising floors by smaller children as well as adults, without causing difficulties.
Für den Antrieb des Drehkreuzes dient insbesondere ein Gleichstrommotor, der in der Anhaltestellung kurzge¬ schlossen werden kann. Weiters ist bevorzugt vorgese- hen, daß auf der Antriebswelle ein Schneckenrad ange¬ ordnet ist, in das eine nichthemmende Schnecke ein¬ greift, auf deren Welle eine Magnetbremse und eine Drehrichtungserkennungseinrichtung vorgesehen ist, und die vom Motor über einen Zugmittel angetrieben wird. Die Magnetbremse kann insbesondere in der Sperrstellung aktiviert sein.A DC motor, which can be short-circuited in the stopping position, is used in particular to drive the turnstile. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that a worm wheel is arranged on the drive shaft, into which a non-locking worm engages, on the shaft of which a magnetic brake and a direction-of-rotation detection device are provided, and which is driven by the motor via a traction means. The magnetic brake can be activated in particular in the locked position.
Nachstehend wird nun die Erfindung an Hand der Figuren der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher beschrieben, ohne darauf beschränkt zu sein.The invention will now be described in more detail below with reference to the figures of the accompanying drawings, without being limited thereto.

Auf einem Gestell 1 ist das Gehäuse 2 eines Drehkreuzes 3 höhenverstellbar angeordnet. Das Drehkreuz ist einer Durchgangsspur zugeordnet, und weist drei Sperrarme auf, von denen der nach oben gerichtete Sperrarm 4 sich in einer Sperrstellung befindet, die in einem Winkel von etwa 10° vor einer strichliert gezeichneten Mittel- linie liegt. Wie Fig. 7 zeigt, ist auf der Welle des Drehkreuzes 3 ein Schneckenrad 11 befestigt, in die eine nicht hemmende Schnecke 12 eingreift, die von einem elektrischen Antriebsmotor 16 über ein Zugmittel 13 angetrieben wird. Das Drehkreuz 3 wird in der Sperr- Stellung jedes Sperrarmes 4 durch eine elektromagneti¬ sche Bremse 8 gehalten, die an der Welle der Schnecke 12 angreift. An dieser Welle ist auch eine Drehrich- tungs- und Drehwinkelerkennungsscheibe 14 angeordnet, der ein Detektor 15 zugeordnet ist. Das Drehkreuz ist weiters mit einem optoelektronischen Sensor 5, über den der Antriebsmotor 16 geschaltet wird, und in der Aus¬ führung nach Fig. 1 bis 4 mit einer Kontrolleinrichtung 7 versehen, der eine in die Umgebung abgeschirmte Sende-Empfangseinheit 8, ein Magnetkartenleser 9 mit einem Display 10 sowie eine entsprechende Steuerschal¬ tung zugeordnet sind. Die Sperrstellung des Drehkreuzes zeigt Fig. 2. Ein vor dem Sperrarm 4 stehender Benutzer 18 kann vom Detektionsstrahl nicht erfaßt werden, da dieser hinter dem Sperrarm liegt. Gewährt die dem Dreh- kreuz 3 zugeordnete Kontrolleinrichtung 7 die Erlaubnis für die Passage der Durchgangsspur, wird die Bremse 17 gelöst und der Antriebsmotor 16 verdreht den jeweiligen Sperrarm 4 aus der Sperrstellung in eine Anhaltestel¬ lung, in der der Motor 16 wieder stillgesetzt wird. Das Drehkreuz dreht hiebei nur um wenige Grade, um den De¬ tektionsstrahl freizugeben (Fig.3). In der Anhaltestel¬ lung bleibt dabei die Bremse 17 gelöst. Rückt der Benutzer 18 diesen geringen Weg nach vorne weiter, so wird er, wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist, vom Detekti- onsstrahl 6 erfaßt, der wiederum den Motor 16 des Dreh¬ kreuzes einschaltet. Dieser verdreht unter Freigabe des Durchgangs das Drehkreuz 3, bis dessen nächster Sperrarm 4 in die Sperrstellung gelangt, in der die Bremse 17 wieder aktiviert wird. Eine exakte Position der Sperrarme 4 in der Sperrstellung und in der Anhal¬ testellung ist von untergeordneter Bedeutung. So könn¬ ten auch die Sperrstellung oder die Anhaltestellung senkrecht zur Durchgangsrichtung liegen. Selbstver¬ ständlich sind auch Zwischenstellungen denkbar.The housing 2 of a turnstile 3 is arranged on a frame 1 so that it can be adjusted in height. The turnstile is assigned to a through lane and has three locking arms, of which the upward locking arm 4 is in a locking position which lies at an angle of approximately 10 ° in front of a center line drawn in broken lines. As shown in FIG. 7, a worm wheel 11 is fastened on the shaft of the turnstile 3, into which a non-inhibiting worm 12 engages, which is driven by an electric drive motor 16 via a traction means 13. The turnstile 3 is held in the locked position of each locking arm 4 by an electromagnetic brake 8 which engages the shaft of the worm 12. A direction of rotation and angle of rotation detection disk 14, to which a detector 15 is assigned, is also arranged on this shaft. The turnstile is also equipped with an optoelectronic sensor 5 the drive motor 16 is switched, and in the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4 is provided with a control device 7, to which a transceiver unit 8 shielded from the environment, a magnetic card reader 9 with a display 10 and a corresponding control circuit are assigned . FIG. 2 shows the locked position of the turnstile. A user 18 standing in front of the locking arm 4 cannot be detected by the detection beam, since this is behind the locking arm. If the control device 7 assigned to the turnstile 3 grants permission for the passage of the through lane, the brake 17 is released and the drive motor 16 rotates the respective blocking arm 4 from the blocking position into a stopping position in which the motor 16 is stopped again. The turnstile only rotates by a few degrees in order to release the detection beam (FIG. 3). In the stop position, the brake 17 remains released. If the user 18 moves this short way forward, he is, as can be seen from FIG. 4, detected by the detection beam 6, which in turn switches on the motor 16 of the turnstile. The latter rotates the turnstile 3, releasing the passage, until its next blocking arm 4 reaches the blocking position in which the brake 17 is activated again. An exact position of the locking arms 4 in the locking position and in the stopping position is of secondary importance. The blocking position or the stopping position could also be perpendicular to the direction of passage. Of course, intermediate positions are also conceivable.
In der Ausführung nach Fig. 5 und 6 ist das Drehkreuz ohne Kontrolleinrichtung 7 gezeigt. Ein derartiges Drehkreuz 3, das nur eine Sperrstellung, jedoch keine Anhaltestellung kennt, wird gerne an Ausgängen von Sportanlagen verwendet, um den unerlaubten Zutritt zu verwehren. Das Drehkreuz 3 ist mit zwei opto¬ elektronischen Sensoren 5 in Form von Lichttastern ver¬ sehen. Deren Detektionsstrahlen 6 erstrecken sich bei¬ derseits des mittig dazwischen liegenden Sperrarmes 4. Nähert sich der Benutzer dem Drehkreuz von der richti¬ gen Seite, so spricht zuerst der erste Detektionsstrahl 6 auf den Benutzer an, und das Drehkreuz 3 wird in Dre¬ hung versetzt. Der Motor stoppt, wenn der zweite Lichttaster 5 nicht in einer einstellbaren Zeit auf den Durchgang des Benutzers anspricht. Nähert sich bei der vorgegebenen Durchgangsrichtung der Besucher von der zweiten, also falschen Seite, so reagiert der zweite Lichttaster 5 zuerst. Da dies falsch ist, bleibt der Motor unterbrochen und das Drehkreuz 3 gesperrt. Die Durchgangsrichtung kann in einfacher Weise vertauscht werden, sodaß das Drehkreuz abwechselnd in beide Rich¬ tungen verwendet werden kann. 5 and 6, the turnstile is shown without control device 7. Such a turnstile 3, which only knows a blocking position, but no stop position, is often used at the exits of sports facilities to prevent unauthorized access refuse. The turnstile 3 is provided with two opto-electronic sensors 5 in the form of light sensors. Their detection beams 6 extend on both sides of the locking arm 4 located in between. If the user approaches the turnstile from the correct side, the first detection beam 6 first responds to the user, and the turnstile 3 is set in rotation . The motor stops if the second light switch 5 does not respond to the passage of the user in an adjustable time. If, in the given direction of passage, the visitor approaches from the second, ie wrong, side, the second light switch 5 reacts first. Since this is wrong, the motor remains interrupted and the turnstile 3 is locked. The direction of passage can be exchanged in a simple manner, so that the turnstile can be used alternately in both directions.
