Definitions

• the invention relates to a door device with at least one door, for opening and closing a passage according to the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
• Such door devices are widely known in various embodiments. They are used to close the door opening of a passage e.g. Warehouses, specialty shops, airports, public buildings and the like.
• the door device mentioned also contains a vertical air curtain device which extends essentially over the entire height of the passage and which generates an emerging air curtain, so that the passage is shielded by the air curtain when the door is open becomes.
• This air curtain device serves to keep the energy losses caused by the open door as low as possible. The energy losses when the door is open are based on the different temperature and climate values in the exterior and interior of the door.
• the invention is therefore based on the object to develop a door device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, which not only enables the passage of objects and people, but also identifies people, objects or the like.
• the handling should be as simple and uncomplicated as possible, so that the identification is achieved solely by passing through the passage of the door device.
• the door device is provided with at least one additional identification system.
• This identification system contains at least one sensor unit, a control unit and an output unit, the individual units being connected to one another.
• This connection does not have to be realized with each other, but can be achieved through a series connection respectively.
• the connection itself does not necessarily have to be made by an electrical line, but can be realized by an infrared, radio connection system or the like.
• at least one sensor unit of the identification system is integrated in the housing of the air curtain device. It does not matter whether the sensor unit is arranged inside the housing of the air curtain device or on the outside of the housing. It is also irrelevant whether the housing of the air curtain device is actually filled with such a device or not.
• the air curtain device with the integrated sensor unit is arranged as a door jamb from the door holder.
• the air curtain does not move with the door when it is opened or closed.
• complex wiring of the air curtain device and the integrated sensor unit can be dispensed with. It is therefore a particularly stable and low-maintenance technical embodiment of the door device.
• no particularly light materials have to be used, since the air curtain device, as already mentioned, is arranged as a door jamb.
• the air curtain device with the integrated sensor unit is arranged on the movable door itself.
• the efficiency of the air curtain device is particularly high, since the air curtain has a particularly strong shielding effect when the door is opened and closed, and the energy losses can thus be reduced further.
• the special arrangement of the air curtain device on the door is irrelevant, since the air curtain is so strong that it covers the entire width of the passage can shield.
• the effect of the air curtain device when the door is open is the same as in the previously described embodiment.
• the reliability of the identification system is also increased in the exemplary embodiment described here.
• the door device is designed with a one-part or multi-part sliding door and the door holder holds at least one movable door in a longitudinally displaceable manner.
• the air curtain device with the integrated sensor unit can be arranged on the longitudinally displaceable door, which results in the advantages described above.
• the air curtain device should be particularly light so that the total mass of the door with the air curtain device is not too high.
• the door device is designed with a single or multi-part wing door and the door holder holds at least one movable door so that it can rotate.
• the air curtain device with the integrated sensor unit is arranged as a door jamb from the door bracket.
• this embodiment is a particularly stable and maintenance-free variant. Part of the sensor unit can also be directly integrated in the wing door.
• An additional variant of the door device provides that it is designed as a revolving door, the moveable door being present as an at least two-leaf revolving carousel that rotates about a central axis of rotation in use and the circular cylindrical door holder rotatably accommodates the revolving door.
• This variant in itself ensures that there is never a direct air exchange between the inside and outside of the door, since the revolving door itself is always in between.
• the air curtain device with the integrated sensor unit is provided as a door jamb by the circular cylindrical door bracket.
• the sensor unit in the door jamb available. The entire passage through the identification system is thus recorded.
• Air curtain device / sensor unit / door jamb or sensor unit / door jamb can be provided in the entrance area as well as in the exit area of the revolving door. As a result, it is impossible for people, goods or the like to go from outside to inside or vice versa without bypassing the identification system.
• the door (regardless of its embodiment) can also be automatically movable by an additional drive unit, so that it opens and closes the passage independently.
• this enables further energy costs to be saved, since the door only has to be open when people or goods actually want to pass the passage, and on the other hand, the passage through the door device is made easier, e.g. an adult with a pram or a disabled person does not have to laboriously open the door with their own muscular strength.
• the drive unit in the case of a sliding door moves the door in a longitudinally displaceable manner. In the case of a double door, the drive unit turns the door automatically, just as the drive unit turns the carousel on a revolving door.
• the drive unit of the automatic door can be controlled by the output unit of the identification system, whereby the door can be opened or closed depending on the application.
• This measure makes it possible, for example, to stop the automatically driven carousel of a revolving door and to block the passage as soon as goods that are still provided with an anti-theft device have been recognized by the identification system. It is also possible for people who have been recognized by the identification system but who are not allowed to pass through the door device to remain blocked.
• the sensor unit of the identification system can contain a multiplicity of sensors which are arranged in sections over the height of the passage in the air curtain device.
• This measure can ensure, for example, that children who play in the passage area of the door device can be recognized by the sensor unit, so that the door is not accidentally closed.
• an infrared sensor is usually arranged in the upper region of the passage, which very often cannot detect children and animals because they are too far away from the sensor. As a result, there is a great risk of accidents in the conventional systems.
• this sensor unit is equipped with at least one antenna-like sensor, which is arranged essentially over the entire height of the passage in the air curtain device.
• Such a sensor is generally used in an anti-theft system because it can detect the anti-theft goods according to the radio frequency principle.
• the signal forwarded by the antenna-like sensor is then detected and evaluated by the control unit, which can trigger various functions, such as Alarm signal, closing the door, control of a video camera, radio signal to the guards or the like.
• the sensor unit contains different sensors which record different measured variables and forward the resulting signals to the control unit for evaluation and processing.
• This measure also significantly increases the area of application of the door device, since the identification system can not only be used to open and close the automatic door as soon as people or goods want to pass through the passage area, but also at the same time to identify the people and goods passing through are.
• goods that are provided with a bar code can be recognized by so-called laser diodes, which in this case are used as sensors.
• a person passing through the passage who has an identification card can be recognized by the identification system.
• video sensors ie small video cameras
• the identification system is designed as a goods security system, in which secured goods in the passage area of the door are recognized by the sensor unit and a signal is passed on to the control unit, which evaluates this signal and sends a corresponding alarm signal to the output unit.
• the goods are provided with an anti-theft device, which is removed when the goods are purchased.
• the sensors unit This supplies a corresponding signal to the control unit, which then has the output unit take appropriate actions, such as alarm signals, close the door, call the security personnel or the like.
• the identification system can be configured as an inventory system, in which the incoming and outgoing goods in the passage area of the door are recognized by the sensor unit, and the signals generated are passed on to the control unit, which evaluates and processes these signals. So that the sensor unit can clearly recognize the goods, the goods must be provided with a bar code, for example. For very special goods that differ in their outer shape, it is also conceivable that these can be recognized by video sensors based on their outer shape.
• the identification system is available as a time recording system, in which the time of incoming and outgoing people in the passage area of the door is recorded depending on the sensor unit people, and the signals generated are passed on to the control unit, which evaluates these signals and further processed. For this purpose, the incoming and outgoing person must carry, for example, a special identification card that is clearly recognized by the sensor unit. This can ensure that the misuse of the time recording system is made significantly more difficult.
• the identification system can be a person control system, which identifies incoming and outgoing people in the passage area of the door by the sensor unit and the signals generated are passed on to the control unit, which evaluates and processes these signals. This allows special people to pass through the door device and prevents others from doing so.
• the people can also be equipped with an identification card that is clearly identified by the sensor unit.
• the identification system also contains an input unit which is connected to the control unit, as a result of which an additional security or identification code for the detected signals of the sensor unit can be passed on to the control unit.
• an additional security or identification code for the detected signals of the sensor unit can be passed on to the control unit.
• the control unit of the identification system is networked with the air curtain device via a data transmission system and can thereby transmit and receive data, as a result of which active elements, in particular the blower, heater and nozzle of the air curtain device can also be controlled.
• the air curtain device does not have to be provided with its own control device, but it is sufficient that the data recorded by the air curtain device is forwarded to the control unit of the identification system for further processing. This enables a simple technical structure to be implemented by dispensing with a further control device.
• the identification system also records climate data from the area of the door by means of further sensors and on the
