Abstract

When an access entitlement is read as valid, a blocking member (1) is placed in an open position. To detect the presence of a wheelchair (15) or pram, a sensor is arranged near the blocking member. The sensor controls an actuator for moving the blocking member from the open position to the closed position, only after the wheelchair or pram has left its detection area.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Zugangskontrollvorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an access control device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen sind bekannt. Das Sperrorgan besteht dabei häufig aus einer Drehsperre mit einem verdrehbaren Drehelement. Nach EP 0 806 676 B1 kann das Drehelement nur einen einzigen sich zwischen den Sperrstellungen jeweils um 360 ° drehbaren Sperrarm aufweisen. Dabei wird nach gültiger Lesung einer Zugangsberechtigung der Sperrarm durch den Aktuator in einer ersten Teildrehung von der Sperrstellung nach unten in die Freigabestellung gedreht. Ferner ist ein Personensensor vorgesehen, der den Aktuator derart ansteuert, dass bei Detektion einer Person im Bereich des Sperrorgans der Sperrarm in einer zweiten Teildrehung wieder in die Sperrstellung übergeführt wird.Such access control devices are known. The blocking member often consists of a turnstile with a rotatable rotary member. To EP 0 806 676 B1 For example, the rotary element can have only one locking arm which can be rotated 360 ° in each case between the locking positions. In this case, after valid reading of an access authorization, the blocking arm is rotated by the actuator in a first partial rotation from the blocking position downwards into the release position. Further, a person sensor is provided, which controls the actuator such that upon detection of a person in the region of the blocking member of the blocking arm is transferred in a second partial rotation back into the blocking position.

Zugangskontrollvorrichtungen werden z.B. bei Stadien, Messen, Bädern, Vergnügungsparks sowie einer Vielzahl weiterer Einrichtungen verwendet, die auch von Rollstuhlfahrern oder von Personen mit Kleinkindern in einem Kinderwagen aufgesucht werden. Da ein Drehkreuz oder dergleichen Drehsperre mit einem Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen nicht passiert werden kann, muss neben dem Drehkreuz als Hauptzugang ein separater Zugang für Rollstuhlfahrer und Kinder vorgesehen werden wie in DE 200 09 698 U1 beschrieben, z.B. eine motorbetriebene Schwingtür. Dafür muss eine Kontrollperson abgestellt werden, die das Sperrorgan für den separaten Zugang manuell betätigt.Access control devices are used for example in stadiums, fairs, baths, amusement parks and a variety of other facilities that are also visited by wheelchair users or people with small children in a stroller. Since a turnstile or the like turnstile with a wheelchair or stroller can not be passed, a separate access for wheelchair users and children must be provided in addition to the turnstile as the main entrance as in DE 200 09 698 U1 described, for example, a motorized swing door. For this purpose, a control person must be turned off, which operates the locking device for the separate access manually.

Während der Hauptzugang mit dem Drehkreuz von den durchgehenden Personen nur passiert werden kann, wenn eine gültige Berechtigung mit dem Zugangsberechtigungsleser festgestellt worden ist, besteht bei dem separaten Zugang keine solche automatische Kontrolle. Abgesehen von dem zusätzlichen Personalaufwand für die Kontrollperson weist ein solcher separater Zugang damit den Nachteil auf, dass er durch Unachtsamkeit oder im Einvernehmen mit der Kontrollperson missbraucht werden kann.While the main access with the turnstile can only be passed by the through persons when a valid authorization has been determined with the access authorization reader, there is no such automatic control in the separate access. Apart from the additional staff costs for the control person, such a separate access thus has the disadvantage that it can be misused by carelessness or in agreement with the control person.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Personen-Zugangskontrollvorrichtung mit einem Sperrorgan bereitzustellen, die ohne größeren zusätzlichen Aufwand auch die Zugangskontrolle mit Rollstühlen und Kinderwägen ermöglicht.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a persons access control device with a locking device, which also allows access control with wheelchairs and strollers without much additional effort.

Dies wird erfindungsgemäß durch die im Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnete Zugangskontrollvorrichtung erreicht. In den Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung wiedergegeben.This is achieved according to the invention by the access control device characterized in claim 1. In the subclaims advantageous embodiments of the invention are shown.

Nach der Erfindung wird das Sperrorgan in die Freigabestellung übergeführt, wenn der Zugangsberechtigungsleser eine gültige Zugangsberechtigung gelesen hat und dann den Aktuator entsprechend ansteuert. Wenn eine Person ohne Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen den Zugang passiert, wird sie vorzugsweise von einem Personensensor erfasst, der den Aktuator derart ansteuert, dass das Sperrorgan in die Sperrstellung erst zurückgeführt wird, wenn die Person das freigegebene Sperrorgan passiert hat.According to the invention, the locking member is transferred to the release position when the access authorization reader has read a valid access authorization and then controls the actuator accordingly. If a person without wheelchair or stroller passes the access, it is preferably detected by a person sensor that controls the actuator so that the locking member is returned to the blocking position only when the person has passed the released locking member.

Ein Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen wird von dem erfindungsgemäß vorgesehenen Sensor zur Rollstuhl- oder Kinderwagendetektion erfasst, der den Aktuator derart ansteuert, dass das Sperrorgan in die Sperrstellung erst übergeführt wird, wenn der Rollstuhl oder der Kinderwagen den Detektionsbereich dieses Sensors verlassen hat.A wheelchair or stroller is detected by the inventively provided sensor for wheelchair or stroller detection, which controls the actuator such that the locking member is first transferred to the blocking position when the Wheelchair or stroller has left the detection range of this sensor.

Damit ist erfindungsgemäß nur ein einziger Zugang erforderlich, um sowohl gehende Personen wie Rollstuhlfahrer oder Kinderwagen schiebende Personen zuverlässig kontrollieren zu können. D.h., es entfällt ein separater Zugang für Rollstühle und Kinderwägen. Zudem kann eine Kontrollperson für den separaten Zugang eingespart werden. Da das Sperrorgan nur bei gültiger Lesung einer Zugangsberechtigung mit dem Zugangsberechtigungsleser den Zugang freigibt, werden Rollstuhlfahrer genauso wie gehende Personen kontrolliert.Thus, according to the invention, only a single access is required in order to be able to reliably control persons walking as well as wheelchair users or pushchairs pushing persons. That is, there is no separate access for wheelchairs and strollers. In addition, a control person for the separate access can be saved. Since the blocking device releases access only when the access authorization is validly read with the access authorization reader, wheelchair users are checked in the same way as walking persons.

Zur Detektion eines Rollstuhls oder Kinderwagens können einer oder mehrere optoelektrische Sensoren, wie Lichttaster oder Lichtschranken, verwendet werden, deren Detektionsbereich so ausgebildet ist, dass sie einen Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen von einer Person in aufrechter Position unterscheiden. Auch kann eine elektronische Bildverarbeitung verwendet werden, die diese Unterscheidung ermöglicht. Da große Teile eines Rollstuhls oder Kinderwagens aus Metall bestehen, wird jedoch ein induktiver Sensor zur Rollstuhl- bzw. Kinderwagendetektion besonders bevorzugt. Der induktive Sensor kann dabei als Induktionsschleife ausgebildet sein, die im Bereich des Sperrorgans in den Boden der Zugangsspur eingelassen ist.For the detection of a wheelchair or pushchair, one or more optoelectric sensors, such as light scanners or light barriers, may be used, the detection area of which is designed to distinguish a wheelchair or stroller from a person in an upright position. Also, an electronic image processing can be used, which allows this distinction. Since large parts of a wheelchair or stroller are made of metal, however, an inductive sensor for wheelchair or stroller detection is particularly preferred. The inductive sensor can be designed as an induction loop, which is embedded in the region of the locking member in the bottom of the access track.

Auch kann das Sperrorgan den Zugang erst freigeben, wenn der Personensensor eine Person, einen Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen erfasst. Wesentlich ist jedoch, dass das Sperrorgan bei einem Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen seine Sperrstellung erst einnimmt, wenn der Rollstuhl bzw. Kinderwagen die Zugangsspur so weit passiert hat, der er nicht von dem sich schließenden Sperrorgan blockiert werden kann. Demgemäß wird erfindungsgemäß der Aktuator von dem Sensor zur Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagendetektion erst zum Überführen des Sperrorgans von der Freigabestellung in die Sperrstellung angesteuert, wenn der Rollstuhl bzw. Kinderwagen den Detektionsbereich des Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagensensors verlassen hat. Damit sichergestellt ist, dass das schließende Sperrorgan den Rollstuhl bzw. Kinderwagen nicht blockiert, können unterschiedliche Maßnahmen getroffen werden. So kann der Detektionsbereich des Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagensensors gegenüber dem Bereich des Sperrorgans so ausgelegt werden, dass der Rollstuhl bzw. Kinderwagen den Bereich des Sperrorgans verlassen hat, bevor das Sperrorgan schließt. Ferner kann eine Zeitsteuerung vorgesehen sein, so dass der Aktuator das Sperrorgan erst nach einer vorgegebenen Zeit nach Austritt des Rollstuhls bzw. Kinderwagens aus dem Detektionsbereich des Sensors schließt. Ferner ist es möglich, in Durchgangsrichtung nach dem einen ersten Sensor zur Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagendetektion einen zweiten Sensor zur Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagendetektion vorzusehen, wobei der Aktuator das Sperrorgan nicht schließt, bevor der Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen den Detektionsbereich des zweiten Sensors erreicht hat.Also, the locking member can release the access only when the person sensor detects a person, a wheelchair or stroller. It is essential, however, that the locking member in a wheelchair or stroller occupies its blocking position only when the wheelchair or stroller has passed the access track so far that he can not be blocked by the closing closure member. Accordingly, according to the invention, the actuator of the sensor for wheelchair and / or stroller detection until the transfer of the locking member of the Release position activated in the locked position when the wheelchair or stroller has left the detection area of the wheelchair and / or pushchair sensor. To ensure that the closing locking member does not block the wheelchair or stroller, different measures can be taken. Thus, the detection range of the wheelchair and / or pushchair sensor relative to the region of the locking member can be designed so that the wheelchair or stroller has left the area of the locking member before the locking member closes. Furthermore, a time control can be provided so that the actuator closes the locking member only after a predetermined time after the wheelchair or stroller has exited the detection range of the sensor. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a second sensor for wheelchair and / or stroller detection in the direction of passage after the first sensor for wheelchair and / or stroller detection, wherein the actuator does not close the blocking member before the wheelchair or stroller reaches the detection area of the second sensor Has.

Häufig kann ein Kinderwagen mit Kleinkind eine Zugangskontrollvorrichtung ohne eigene Zugangsberechtigung für das Kleinkind passieren. Als Erwachsenen wird Rollstuhlfahrern diese Vorzugsbehandlung hingegen meistens nicht zuteil. In manchen Ländern, in denen eine Sonderbehandlung von Behinderten als Diskriminierung angesehen wird, ist es sogar unzulässig, Rollstuhlfahrer einen gebührenpflichtigen Zugang ohne Zugangsberechtigung passieren zu lassen. Es besteht daher das Problem, Personen, die einen Kinderwagen schieben, mit nur einer Zugangsberechtigung die Zugangskontrollvorrichtung passieren zu lassen, hingegen bei Personen, die einen Rollstuhl schieben, den Zugang nur bei gültiger Lesung einer Zugangsberechtigung für den Rollstuhlfahrer und einer Zugangsberechtigung für die Person, die den Rollstuhlfahrer schiebt, freizugeben. Dieses Problem ist in der Praxis jedoch von untergeordneter Bedeutung. Erwachsene Rollstuhlfahrer sind es nämlich gewöhnt, für sich eine Zugangsberechtigung zu erwerben, so dass der Ausnahmefall, dass der Rollstuhlfahrer einmal keine Zugangsberechtigung besitzt, in Kauf genommen werden kann.Frequently, a stroller with toddler pass through an access control device without its own access authorization for the toddler. As an adult wheelchair users, however, this preference treatment is usually not given. In some countries, where special treatment of disabled persons is considered discrimination, it is even inadmissible to allow wheelchair users to pass a paid access without access authorization. There is therefore the problem of allowing persons pushing a stroller to pass through the access control device with only one access authorization, whereas access to access authorization for the wheelchair user and access authorization for the person in possession of wheelchair access is only permitted if the wheelchair user has a valid access authorization. the wheelchair user pushes, release. However, this problem is of secondary importance in practice. Adults wheelchair users are accustomed to acquire an access authorization for themselves, so that the exceptional case that the wheelchair user once has no access authorization, can be accepted.

D.h., wenn ein Kinderwagen oder ein Rollstuhl den Zugang erreicht, wird bei Lesung der Zugangsberechtigung nur einer Person das Sperrorgan in die Freigabestellung übergeführt, wobei es die Freigabestellung so lange einnimmt, bis der Kinderwagen oder Rollstuhl den Detektionsbereich des Sensors zur Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagendetektion und außerdem die schiebende Person den Detektionsbereich des Personensensors verlassen haben. Erst dann wird das Sperrorgan von der Freigabestellung in die Sperrstellung übergeführt.That is, when a stroller or a wheelchair reaches the access, reading the access authorization of only one person, the locking member is transferred to the release position, where it takes the release position until the stroller or wheelchair the detection range of the sensor for wheelchair and / or Baby carriage detection and also the person pushing have left the detection area of the personal sensor. Only then is the blocking member transferred from the release position into the blocking position.

Wenn ausgeschlossen werden soll, dass ein erwachsener Rollstuhlfahrer und die den Rollstuhl schiebende Person im Gegensatz zu einem Kleinkind in einem Kinderwagen und einer den Kinderwagen schiebenden Person mit nur einer Zugangsberechtigung den Zugang passieren können, kann eine Einrichtung zur Klassifizierung zwischen einem Kinderwagen mit einem Kleinkind und einem Rollstuhl mit einem Erwachsenen vorgesehen werden, beispielsweise durch eine in der Zugangsspur angeordnete Waage. Die Klassifizierungseinrichtung kann auch durch eine Bildaufnahmeeinheit mit nachgeschalteter Bildverarbeitung und -auswertung gebildet sein. In gleicher Weise wie die Klassifizierungseinrichtung kann im Übrigen auch der Personensensor ausgebildet sein.If it is to be precluded that an adult wheelchair user and the person pushing the wheelchair may pass through in a stroller and a person pushing the stroller with only one access authorization, a means of classification between a stroller and a toddler may be provided a wheelchair provided with an adult, for example, by a scale arranged in the access track. The classification device can also be formed by an image acquisition unit with downstream image processing and evaluation. Incidentally, in the same way as the classification device, the personal sensor can also be designed.

Der Aktuator ist vorzugsweise ein Motor, insbesondere ein Elektromotor. Jedoch kann er z.B. auch durch einen Elektromagneten, eine durch ein Druckmittel, z.B. Pressluft, betätigbare Kolben/Zylinder-Einheit oder einen anderen Antrieb gebildet werden.The actuator is preferably a motor, in particular an electric motor. However, for example, it can also by an electromagnet, a by a pressure medium, eg compressed air, operable piston / cylinder unit or another drive are formed.

Die erfindungsgemäße Zugangskontrollvorrichtung kann als Drehsperre ausgebildet sein. Beispielsweise wird ein Drehstern mit zwei Sperrarmen, die um etwa 120 ° bzw. 240 ° versetzt sind, verwendet. Vorzugsweise weist der Drehstern jedoch nur einen Sperrarm auf. Die Drehachse der Drehsperre kann dabei senkrecht angeordnet sein, aus Platzgründen wird jedoch vorzugsweise ein Drehstern verwendet, dessen Drehachse gegenüber der Waagerechten um 30 ° bis 60 °, vorzugsweise 40 ° bis 50 °, geneigt ist. Der Winkel des Sperrarms gegenüber der Drehachse des Drehsterns beträgt vorzugsweise 30 ° bis 60 °, insbesondere 40 ° bis 50 °. In seiner nach unten gedrehten Freigabeposition erstreckt sich der Sperrarm mit einem Winkel von höchstens 10 ° gegenüber der Senkrechten in den Durchgang. Falls der Drehstern zwei Dreharme aufweist, schließen die beiden Dreharme miteinander einen Winkel von etwa 120 ° ein.The access control device according to the invention can be designed as a turnstile. For example, a rotary star with two locking arms, which are offset by about 120 ° or 240 °, used. However, the rotary star preferably has only one blocking arm. The axis of rotation of the turnstile can be arranged vertically, but for space reasons, preferably a rotary star is used, the axis of rotation relative to the horizontal by 30 ° to 60 °, preferably 40 ° to 50 °, is inclined. The angle of the blocking arm with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotary star is preferably 30 ° to 60 °, in particular 40 ° to 50 °. In its downwardly turned release position, the locking arm extends at an angle of at most 10 ° to the vertical in the passageway. If the rotary star has two rotating arms, the two pivot arms enclose an angle of approximately 120 ° with each other.

Wenn ein Drehstern mit nur einem Sperrarm verwendet wird, wird der Sperrarm zwischen zwei Sperrstellungen jeweils um 360 ° gedreht. Bei gültiger Lesung einer Zugangsberechtigung wird damit der eine Sperrarm in einer ersten Teildrehung von der Sperrstellung von oben nach unten in die Freigabestellung gedreht. Der Drehwinkel der ersten Teildrehung kann 90 ° bis 270 ° betragen, insbesondere 110 ° bis 250 °. Nach Austritt des Rollstuhls oder Kinderwagens aus dem Detektionsbereich des Sensors zur Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagendetektion wird dann der Sperrarm in einer zweiten Teildrehung weitergedreht, um erneut die Sperrstellung einzunehmen. Eine einen Kinderwagen oder einen Rollstuhl schiebende Person wird durch gleichzeitiges oder kurz hintereinander folgendes Ansprechen des Sensors zur Rollstuhl- und/oder Kinderwagendetektion und des Personensensors festgestellt, so dass der Sperrarm in der Freigabeposition verharrt, bis die schiebende Person zumindest die Position erreicht hat, in der sie der Sperrarm bei der zweiten Teildrehung weiterschieben kann. Es ist nämlich nicht notwendig auszuschließen, dass der Sperrarm mit der schiebenden Person während der zweiten Teildrehung nicht in Berührung kommt, insbesondere wenn die Drehgeschwindigkeit der zweiten Teildrehung begrenzt ist. Ein leichtes Touchieren der schiebenden Person führt nämlich kaum zu einer Komfortbeeinträchtigung, hat jedoch den Vorteil, dass aus psychologischen Gründen die Durchgangsgeschwindigkeit der den Rollstuhl bzw. Kinderwagen schiebenden Person erhöht wird. Aus dem gleichen Grund kann auch ein Rollstuhlfahrer bei der zweiten Teildrehung von dem Sperrarm weitergeschoben werden.If a rotary star is used with only one locking arm, the locking arm is rotated in each case by 360 ° between two locking positions. With valid reading of an access authorization so that a locking arm is rotated in a first partial rotation of the blocking position from top to bottom in the release position. The angle of rotation of the first partial rotation may be 90 ° to 270 °, in particular 110 ° to 250 °. After exiting the wheelchair or stroller from the detection area of the sensor for wheelchair and / or stroller detection then the locking arm is further rotated in a second partial rotation to take again the blocking position. A pushing a stroller or a wheelchair person is determined by simultaneous or in quick succession response of the sensor for wheelchair and / or stroller detection and the person sensor, so that the locking arm in the Release position remains until the pushing person has reached at least the position in which they can push the locking arm at the second partial rotation. Namely, it is not necessary to exclude that the locking arm does not come into contact with the person pushing during the second partial rotation, in particular when the rotational speed of the second partial rotation is limited. A slight touch of the pushing person leads namely hardly to a comfort impairment, but has the advantage that the passage speed of the person pushing the wheelchair or stroller is increased for psychological reasons. For the same reason, a wheelchair user can be pushed by the lock arm at the second partial rotation.

Bei einer gehenden Person, die weder einen Kinderwagen noch einen Rollstuhl schiebt, nimmt der Sperrarm die Freigabeposition so lange ein, bis durch den Personensensor festgestellt worden ist, dass die Person zumindest die Position erreicht hat, in der sie der Sperrarm allenfalls bei der zweiten Teildrehung berührt, um sie weiterzuschieben.In a walking person who pushes neither a stroller nor a wheelchair, the locking arm takes the release position until it has been determined by the person sensor that the person has reached at least the position in which they the locking arm at most during the second partial rotation touched to move on.

Der Zugangsberechtigungsleser kann durch einen berührungslos wirkenden Leser gebildet sein, insbesondere zur Lesung von RFID-Transpondern mit darauf abgelegter Durchgangsberechtigung. Es kann sich jedoch auch um einen Steckleser, beispielsweise für Magnet-, Barcode-, Chip- oder dergleichen Karten handeln. Der Personensensor kann beispielsweise als optoelektronischer Sensor ausgebildet sein.The access authorization reader can be formed by a non-contact reader, in particular for the reading of RFID transponders with pass-through authorization stored thereon. However, it may also be a plug-in reader, for example, for magnetic, barcode, chip or the like cards. The personal sensor can be designed, for example, as an optoelectronic sensor.

Nachstehend ist eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Zugangskontrollvorrichtung anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung beispielhaft näher erläutert. Darin zeigen jeweils schematisch:

An embodiment of the access control device according to the invention is explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing. In each case schematically show:
FIGS. 1 and 2
a perspective view of the access control device in the locking or release position; and
Figure 3a to 3d
a schematic plan view of a wheelchair user approaching the control device (Figure 3a), the wheelchair user when inserting an access authorization ticket in the reader of the access control device (Figure 3b), when passing the access control device (Figure 3c) and after passing in the next Blocking access control device (Figure 3d).

Gemäß Figur 1 und 2 weist die Zugangskontrollvorrichtung ein als Drehstern ausgebildetes Sperrorgan 1 auf, das von einem nicht dargestellten Elektromotor als Aktuator angetrieben wird. Das Sperrorgan 1 ist mit einem Sperrarm 2 zum Sperren des Zugangs 3 versehen, der in Richtung des Pfeils 4 passiert wird.According to Figure 1 and 2, the access control device designed as a rotary star barrier member 1, which is driven by an electric motor, not shown, as an actuator. The locking member 1 is provided with a locking arm 2 for locking the access 3, which is passed in the direction of arrow 4.

Das Sperrorgan 1 weist eine Drehachse 5 auf, die gegenüber der Waagerechten um ca. 45 ° geneigt ist. Der Winkel, den der Sperrarm 2 mit der Drehachse 5 einschließt, beträgt etwa 45 °. Während der Sperrarm 2 in der Sperrposition gemäß Figur 1 etwa in die waagerechte Position verschwenkt ist und damit den Zugang 3 sperrt, ist er in der Freigabeposition nach Figur 2 etwa senkrecht nach unten verschwenkt, so dass der Zugang 3 freigegeben wird.The blocking member 1 has an axis of rotation 5, which is inclined relative to the horizontal by approximately 45 °. The angle which the blocking arm 2 encloses with the axis of rotation 5 is approximately 45 °. While the locking arm 2 is pivoted in the locked position of Figure 1 approximately in the horizontal position and thus blocks the access 3, it is pivoted in the release position of Figure 2 approximately vertically down, so that the access 3 is released.

Die Zugangskontrollvorrichtung weist ein Gestell mit einem Gehäuse 6 auf, in dem der Aktuator oder Drehantrieb, also der Elektromotor und das Antriebsgetriebe, sowie die elektronische Steuerung angeordnet sind. Auf dem Gehäuse 6 ist ein weiteres Gehäuse 7 angeordnet, in dem ein Einsteckleser als Zugangsberechtigungsleser z.B. für Magnetkarten mit darauf abgelegter Zugangsberechtigung vorgesehen ist, welche über das Kartenmaul 8 in den Einsteckleser gesteckt werden. Ein Display 9 in dem Gehäuse 7 liefert dem Benutzer Informationen, z.B. "Zugang frei".The access control device has a frame with a housing 6, in which the actuator or rotary drive, so the electric motor and the drive gear, and the electronic control are arranged. On the housing 6, a further housing 7 is arranged, in which a plug-in reader as access authorization reader eg for magnetic cards with it stored access authorization is provided, which are inserted via the card jaw 8 in the insert reader. A display 9 in the housing 7 provides information to the user, eg "access free".

In dem Gehäuse 6 ist ferner ein optoelektronischer Sensor als Personensensor 11 vorgesehen, dessen Detektionsbereich 12 in Figur 3a, 3c und 3d dargestellt, in Figur 3b aus Übersichtlichkeitsgründen jedoch weggelassen ist.In the housing 6, an optoelectronic sensor is also provided as a person sensor 11, the detection area 12 shown in Figure 3a, 3c and 3d, however, omitted in Figure 3b for reasons of clarity.

In den Boden der Zugangsspur 3 sind eine erste und eine zweite Induktionsschleife als erster Sensor 13 und zweiter Sensor 14 zur Rollstuhl- und Kinderwagendetektion eingelassen.In the bottom of the access lane 3, a first and a second induction loop as the first sensor 13 and second sensor 14 for wheelchair and stroller detection are recessed.

Wenn der Rollstuhlfahrer 15 sich gemäß Figur 3a dem Zugang 3 nähert, befindet sich der Sperrarm 2 in der Sperrposition (Figur 1). Nach dem Einstecken der Karte in das Kartenmaul 8 gemäß Figur 3b wird bei gültiger Lesung der Karte durch die Leseeinrichtung der Motor bzw. das Getriebe so angesteuert, dass der Sperrarm 2 in einer ersten Teildrehung gemäß dem Pfeil 16 nach vorne und nach unten in die Freigabeposition verschwenkt wird (Figur 2). Der Rollstuhlfahrer 15 befindet sich dabei gemäß Figur 3c auf dem ersten Sensor 13 zur Rollstuhl- und Kinderwagendetektion, der den Motor bzw. das Motorgetriebe so ansteuert, dass der Sperrarm 2 in der Freigabeposition bleibt. Wenn der Rollstuhlfahrer 15 gemäß Figur 3d den ersten Sensor 13 verlassen und den zweiten Sensor 14 erreicht, wird das Sperrorgan 1 so angesteuert, dass der Sperrarm 2 in einer zweiten Teildrehung von der Freigabeposition gemäß dem Pfeil 17 nach oben in die neue Sperrstellung gedreht wird.When the wheelchair user 15 approaches the access 3 according to FIG. 3a, the blocking arm 2 is in the blocking position (FIG. 1). After insertion of the card in the card mouth 8 according to Figure 3b is valid reading of the card by the reading device of the engine or the transmission so controlled that the locking arm 2 in a first partial rotation according to the arrow 16 forward and downward to the release position is pivoted (Figure 2). The wheelchair user 15 is in accordance with Figure 3c on the first sensor 13 for wheelchair and stroller detection, which controls the motor or the motor gear so that the locking arm 2 remains in the release position. When the wheelchair user 15 according to FIG. 3d leaves the first sensor 13 and reaches the second sensor 14, the blocking member 1 is activated such that the blocking arm 2 is rotated in a second partial rotation from the release position according to the arrow 17 upwards into the new blocking position.

Wenn der Rollstuhlfahrer 15 von einer (nicht dargestellten) Person geschoben wird, wird diese durch den Personensensor 11 erfasst, dessen Detektionsbereich 12 so ausgelegt ist, dass der Sperrarm 2 in der Freigabeposition verharrt, bis die schiebende Person zumindest die Position erreicht hat, in der sie der Sperrarm 2 bei der zweiten Teildrehung weiterschieben kann. Bei einer (nicht dargestellten) gehenden Person (ohne Rollstuhl oder Kinderwagen) bleibt der Sperrarm 2 nach gültiger Lesung der Zugangsberechtigung so lange in der Freigabestellung, bis die Person zumindest die Position erreicht hat, in der sie der Sperrarm 2 bei der zweiten Teildrehung weiterschieben kann.When the wheelchair user 15 is pushed by a person (not shown), this is detected by the personal sensor 11 detected, the detection area 12 is designed so that the locking arm 2 remains in the release position until the pushing person has reached at least the position in which they can push the locking arm 2 at the second partial rotation. In a (not shown) going person (without wheelchair or stroller) the locking arm 2 remains after valid reading the access authorization in the release position until the person has reached at least the position in which they can push the locking arm 2 at the second partial rotation ,
