Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of barriers for controlling the passage on a taxiway.
  • the present invention can find many applications.
  • the barriers in accordance with the present invention may, in particular, be used on motorway toll stations, parking access points, etc.
  • the known barriers generally comprise a rail associated with a drive system adapted to selectively move the rail between a horizontal rest position, transverse to the traffic lane, suitable for preventing the passage, and a temporary position releasing said lane for allow passage through the taxiway when authorized access is detected.
  • one of the problems badly solved by the existing barriers according to the state of the art is that of the rapid implementation after an accidental shock, for example when a vehicle hits the rail of a safety barrier .
  • a device when the vehicle hits the rail of a safety barrier, a device is provided so that the rail exits the vehicle path by rotating about a vertical axis during its relative movement relative to the vehicle. crew support.
  • These barriers have the disadvantage of requiring a manual reset by the staff, for example the public, which requires him to leave his local and come on the road, at the risk of being struck by the next vehicle.
  • the document FR-A-2585064 describes an entry or exit barrier device in a fleet of automobiles.
  • This device comprises four main parts: a first part intended to be fixed on a drive means, a first intermediate main part hinged about a horizontal axis on the aforesaid support piece and immobilized thereon by a first latch system ball, a second intermediate main part articulated around a vertical axis on the first intermediate main part and immobilized in the rest position thereon by a second ball catch and a main part forming a smooth door articulated on the second main part intermediate about a vertical axis and immobilized thereon by a third latch system.
  • the first intermediate main piece When an attempt is made to move the beam in a vertical position, the first intermediate main piece is disengaged from the support piece by the first ball catch and pivots about the horizontal axis.
  • the smooth door part rotates relative to the second main intermediate part or the second intermediate main part rotates relative to the first intermediate main part, with disengagement thanks to second and third ball catches.
  • the document FR-A-2800759 discloses a barrier comprising a hinge articulated about a vertical axis on a stirrup support. To avoid bouncing of the beam when the kinetic energy provided by a vehicle on the rail is important, the document proposes to articulate gas cylinders between the support bracket and the part carrying the rail in order to limit the rotational speed smooth door during a possible impact with a vehicle.
  • the document specifically mentions that when the opening of the smooth door reaches an angle greater than the unstable equilibrium opening angle defined by the gas struts, the smooth door and its rail can not return to the closed position without human intervention. .
  • the main objective of the invention is to propose new means enabling a safety barrier bar to be put back into service rapidly after an accidental shock.
  • the invention thus proposes a smoothly rewound automatically for safety barriers.
  • the invention therefore relates to a safety barrier consisting of the combination of the rail and its support crew, as such, outside the connection of this assembly on the drive system.
  • the safety barrier according to the present invention comprises a rail 100 carried by a support crew 200 itself, preferably associated with a drive means placed in a trunk 300.
  • the crew 200 is pivotally mounted about a horizontal main axis 202 on the trunk 300. Specifically, typically, the crew 200 is pivotally mounted back and forth about the axis 202 at a 90 ° angle. .
  • the support crew 200 can thus be moved between a so-called horizontal position illustrated for example on the Figures 1, 2 , 4 and 5 and a so-called vertical position illustrated for example on the figure 3 inclined 90 ° from the anterior position.
  • the boom 100 carried by the support crew 200 is horizontal. It extends transversely to the traffic lane and prohibits passage through it,
  • the rail 100 is capable of displacement relative to the support assembly 200 about a secondary axis 102 transverse to the main axis 202.
  • the rail is thus likely to be "disengaged" from the support crew 200.
  • the secondary axis 102 In the rest position of the support crew 200, as illustrated in the Figures 1 and 2 the secondary axis 102 is vertical. On the contrary, in the vertical temporary position of the support crew 200, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 the secondary axis 102 is horizontal.
  • the rail 100 is maintained on the support assembly 200 by threshold means 110, 210 such that the rail 100 is not displaced with respect to the support crew 200 as long as a force greater than a threshold n ' is not applied to the smooth.
  • these threshold means comprise a magnet 210 on the support assembly 200 and a pole plate 110 carried by the rail 100 (or conversely a polar plate carried by the support crew 200 and a magnet placed opposite on the rail 100).
  • the safety barrier comprises elastic means 220 adapted to return the arm 100 in the rest position on the support crew 200, after unhinging.

  • One end 2220, 2240 of each spring 222, 224, is connected to a tab 240 secured to the stirrup 230, more precisely to its web 232.
  • the tab 240 extends generally parallel to the secondary axis 102.
  • a second end 2222, 2242 of each spring 222, 224 is connected to the intermediate support 130, preferably respectively to one of the flanges 131, 132, and advantageously at a distance from the secondary axis 102 to apply a sufficient return torque on the intermediate crew 130 and the smooth 100 which is linked thereto.
  • the springs 222, 224 are intended to ensure the automatic rerouting of the arm 100 on the support crew 200 in the case where the latter is ejected by pivoting about the secondary axis 102, by a vehicle .
  • the rerouting of the bar 100 on the stirrup 230 is assured regardless of the position of the bar, horizontal or vertical, and its angle of disengagement, from 0 to 90 °.
  • the springs 222, 224 are made of hardened Z10CN18.08 stainless steel and have a capacity of the order of 57Nm at 60 ° C.

  • the safety barrier according to the present invention further comprises means adapted to detect the disengagement of the arm 100 with respect to the stirrup 230, that is to say the pivoting of the arm 100 relative to at the stirrup 230, around the secondary axis 102, outside its normal position of use. It is also preferably provided means adapted to automatically position the mobile assembly 200 in a vertical position, as illustrated on the figure 3 during such a detachment detection of the arm 100 so that the rerun of it on the support crew 200 under the effect of the bias exerted by the springs 222, 224, is operated outside the track of circulation.
  • the aforementioned detection means can be the subject of many embodiments. They are preferably formed of an inductive sensor 260 carried by the core 232 of the stirrup 230 facing a complementary metal index 160 carried by the intermediate support 130.
  • Such a sensor 260 detects the presence of the heald 100 in the normal position.
  • the sensor 260 transmits the dismounting information of the arm 100, in the event of an impact, and in this case gives an order to open the barrier to position the mobile assembly 200 in a vertical position as illustrated on FIG. figure 3 . It also triggers a delay of the closing of the rail, to allow the spring 222, 224 to ensure the rerouting thereof in the open position, out of the way, before allowing the closing of the barrier.
  • the operation of the safety barrier according to the present invention is essentially as follows.
  • the hint presence sensor 260 gives the order to the management electronic card present in the terminal 300 and driving the drive means, d. carry out the mobile assembly 200 in a vertical position as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 . This rise can be timed or not.
