Abstract

The turning barrier with drive has a check element (2), movable in down-sloping axis and a single check arm (1) to close the passage (5) in locking position through 360[deg]. It has an access authorization reader (7), a person sensor (8), whereby the check arm turns into release position on valid reading of access authorization by access authorization reader, when the person sensor registers the user (10). The check arm further comes to closing position in a second partial movement in the detection range (9) of person sensor. The drive for the check element is through an electric motor which, however, can also be provided by a pneumatic actuation.

Description

The invention relates to a turnstile after Preamble of claim 1.

Such a turnstile is known from EP 804676 B1. The detection range of the personal sensor is thereafter behind the barrier arm when it is in its locked position located. By a single barrier arm is although compared to a conventional turnstile with three Barrier arms significantly improved the transit comfort, especially when carrying objects such as skis, ski poles, Bags and the like. The disadvantage, however, is that after the first partial rotation of the lock arm in the release position, by a valid access authorization has been triggered, a subsequent person without access authorization with the preceding one Passage can happen before the passage through the second partial rotation of the locking arm is locked again. Around To remedy this is proposed according to EP 804676 B1, the Angle of rotation of the second partial rotation with at most 90 ° quite short form, as well as the rotational speed at to increase the second partial rotation. A small angle of rotation However, from the release position to the locked position has As a result, the locking arm in the release position far into the passage and thus the comfort of passage, which has a single barrier arm, at least partly destroyed again. If the authorized person User when passing the personal sensor too walking slowly or even stopping, has an increase the rotational speed when turning up the locking arm off the release in the blocking position at least one painful blow to the episode.

To ease the passage of a turnstile with only one The locking arm is not affected by AT 6665 U1 suggested that the locking arm in its normal position completely clear the passage, the pass-through reader and but to arrange the personal sensor in front of the barrier arm, so if the person sensor detects a person, however no valid pass-through authorization read is pivoted, the lock arm in the locked position becomes. This requires the pass-through reader and the personal sensor with a correspondingly large distance be arranged in front of the turnstile. A person who Pass-through reader without authorization happened has, then before then blocking the passage Wait for the barrier arm to pass through Person with valid right of passage released becomes. Passing without valid passage authorization is even easier.

The object of the invention is to provide a turnstile with high Passage comfort and reliable separation of persons provide.

This is inventively characterized by the in claim 1 Turnstile reached. In the dependent claims advantageous embodiments of the invention are shown.

According to the invention, the personal sensor is arranged that its detection area is in front of the blocking arm, if this is in its locked position. If the Pass-through authorization of the user has been read, thus pivots the blocking arm in a first partial rotation from the locked position to the release position down and is in a second partial rotation immediately after turned up so that no one for a subsequent person There is room to be illegally together with the person entitled to transit Person to pass the passage.

Although the barrier arm with the user during the second Partial rotation come into contact. When the rotational speed not increased at the second partial rotation However, this does not compromise comfort Episode, even if the user goes very slowly. The Torque is composed of the force and the lever arm. When the locking arm is pointing out of its downward Release position is turned up, he touches the slowly walking person first with a big distance from its axis of rotation, i. with a long lever arm and so only a little. The light touch has as psychological Effect an increase in throughput speed the user and thus a decrease in the power to Follow that on the first slow going user through the locking arm acts.

According to the invention, there is the possibility of the rotational speed lower at the second part turn train to the power of walking on a slow User acting blocking arm, however, to further reduce without compromising the reliability of the person separation.

Furthermore, according to the invention, the angle of rotation in the second Partial rotation 120 or more, in particular about 180 ° be. This prevents the locking arm in the Release position partially protrudes into the passage and thus impaired the passage comfort.

Preferably, the axis of rotation of the locking element is to Horizontally inclined by 30 to 40 °, while the angle of the Locking arm relative to the axis of rotation of the locking element preferably 40 to 50 °. This allows the blocking arm in its down turned release position itself with one Angle of at most 10 ° with respect to the vertical in extend the passage, preferably even from the Passage out, so diagonally away from the passage down. This allows the space at the passage in the release position the turning arm from the axis of rotation down even increase so that a particularly comfortable passage is achieved becomes.

The drive of the blocking element is preferably carried out by an electric motor, but z. B. also a pneumatic Be provided actuation.

The pass-through reader is preferably by a formed non-contact reader, in particular for Reading of RFID transponders with pass-through authorization stored on them. However, the pass-through reader can also a plug-in reader, for example for magnetic, barcode or the like cards. Also, both a contactless acting as a plug reader be provided. The personal sensor can be used, for example, as an optoelectronic Sensor be formed.

An embodiment of the turnstile according to the invention is explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show:

Figure 1 and 2 is a perspective view of a turnstile with the locking arm in the blocking position or release position;

Figure 3 is a plan view of the turnstile in the locked position prior to passing the passage;

Figure 4 and 5 is a plan view of the release position during the passage of the detection range of the personal sensor; and

Figure 6 is a plan view after passing through the passage.

According to Figure 1 and 2, the turnstile has a turned part with a blocking arm 1 formed blocking element 2, that of a motor, not shown, in a housing 3 is driven. The dashed axis of rotation 4 of the locking element 2 is opposite to the horizontal order an angle α of about 35 ° inclined downwards. The angle, which includes the axis of rotation 4 with the locking arm 1, may be slightly larger and for example 45 °.

During the blocking position shown in FIG Barrier arm 1 assumes an approximately horizontal position and thus the passage 5, which blocks in the direction of the arrow 6, he is in the release position shown in Figure 2 pivoted approximately vertically downwards.

The housing 3 also takes the other components, such as Storage and the gearbox and electronics for operation of the engine and the locking element 2. In the housing 3 is also an antenna 7 shown in dashed lines for an RFID reader module, not shown, provided with the pass-through authorization is read without contact can, which is stored in a transponder, the access-authorized user 10 carries.

Furthermore, in front of the blocking element is an optoelectronic Person sensor 8 provided in the housing 3, whose in FIG 3 to 6 shown detection area 9 in the passage direction 6 is located in front of the blocking arm 1, if this in Locking position according to Figure 1, 3 and 6 is located.

The blocking arm 1 projects approximately horizontally in the blocking position across the passage 5. If the user 10 is in accordance with FIG. 3 approaches the antenna 7 of the RFID reading module, is at valid pass authorization of the blocking arm. 1 from its blocking position in the release position according to Figure 4 and Figure 2 in a first partial rotation of about Swiveled 180 ° and thus the passage 5 completely released. According to the arrow 11 in Figure 1 and 2, the Blocking element 2 with the blocking arm 1, of the passage fifth seen from, while clockwise rotated. If the Barrier 1 reaches the release position shown in Figure 2 and 4 the user 10 enters the detection area 9, so immediately after the first partial rotation a second partial rotation of the locking arm by about 180 ° begins (Figure 5), causing the user 10 the passage 5 can happen without getting between him and the Barrier arm 1 can push a person who has no pass-through authorization has.

For this purpose, the drive of the blocking element 2 is activated in such a way that that the locking arm 1 remains in the locked position, if when reading a passage authorization with the Pass-through reader at the same time a second Person in the detection area 9 of the personal sensor 8 is detected.

Since the locking arm 1 after reaching the release position immediately turned up again with the second partial rotation will, does not arise for a subsequent person Place to the passage 5 unauthorized together with the pass-through user 10 to pass.
