Abstract

In order to provide a passage barrier, which allows greater flexibility in terms of design and dimensioning, and in particular with slim side elements, although the locking elements can swing into the side member, with the invention, a passage barrier with two side members forming a passage and at least one between one the passage obstructing and a position releasing the passage movable locking element proposed in which the locking element is formed arcuate about a vertical in the intended installation position axis.

Description

The present invention relates to a passage barrier with two side members forming a passage and at least one blocking member movable between a passage blocking and a passage releasing position.

Such passage barriers are widely known in the art. They are used in the area of access to stations, in swimming pools and other leisure facilities, in stadiums, trade fairs, in building security and the like. One or two locking elements in the form of a door, a gate, a sheet or the like are moved into the passage area and lock it. Upon request, the locking elements move in such a way that the passage area is released. For example, blocking elements can pivot in a door-like manner relative to the side elements or can pivot into the side elements. This is usually done by the locking element pivots transversely in the side member. To release the passage, the side element must be as wide as the blocking element. When door-like pivoting locking elements remain in the open position outside the side element. Thus, the design options are very limited.

When swiveling in the side elements locking elements, the side elements must be correspondingly large.

If you want to adapt such elements to given structural conditions, so are set in terms of sizing limits.

FIG. 14 shows exemplary embodiments for passage barriers according to the prior art. According to Figure 14A the passage barrier 31 has two side members 32 defining a passage 35 therebetween. Door-like pivotable elements 33 are arranged between the side members 32 and secured to the side members 32, respectively. In the plan view according to Figure 14B It can be seen that the door elements 33 pivot down along the pivot arrows 34 to the side members 33. Through this door-like training results in a main passage direction.

According to the prior art example in FIG Figure 15A be laterally wegschwenkende locking elements used. These blocking elements 36 pivot along the arrows 37 into the side elements 32. This can be seen very well in the plan view FIG. 15B , It can be seen that the side members 32 must have a width suitable for receiving the door members 36. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the door elements 36 pivot into the side elements 32 about axes located in the lower region.

Based on the above-described prior art, the present invention seeks to provide a passage barrier, which allows greater flexibility in terms of design and dimensioning. In particular, this comes with slim side elements, although the locking elements can swing into the side member.

For technical solution to this problem, a passage barrier with the features of claim 1 is proposed. Further advantages and features emerge from the subclaims.

According to the invention, the movable blocking element is arc-shaped around a vertical axis in the intended installation position. Thus, this locking element can be pivoted about the vertical axis of rotation. It goes into the side element, without requiring a lot of recording space. In this way, the passage barrier is opened or closed. The guidance and the drive of the blocking element are effected by guide and drive elements in the side elements, so that the axis of rotation is a virtual geometric location. The axis of rotation lies outside of the side element and within the passage area.

The arcuate blocking element may have a variable radius along its circumference, so that the blocking element appears in plan view, for example, as an elliptical segment or the like. Since the blocking element is guided by guide elements in the side elements, in this case, the virtual axis of rotation passes through different geometric locations in the course of the opening or closing movement.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the arcuate blocking element corresponds to the lateral surface of a cylinder segment, so that it appears in the plan view as a circle segment. In this embodiment, the blocking element can be pivoted on a circular path about the vertical axis of rotation. The axis of rotation coincides with the longitudinal axis of the cylinder segment and remains in the course of the opening or closing movement at the same geometric location.

According to a further advantageous proposal of the invention, the passage barrier on two locking elements, which are arcuate. These segments can therefore be bent flat and be retractable in this way in very slim side elements.

For retracting the side elements, which may be technically a retraction, insertion or the like, can be used according to advantageous proposals of the invention non-positive connections, such as friction rollers or the like, form-fitting in the form of tooth rails or the like and power units using linear drives, the retract and push out the elements, cranks, electric motor driven spindles, crank gear or the like.

At the point at which the locking element enters the side element, the side element has a slot. This slot may be large enough to allow the insertion of a hand due to the arcuate design of the locking element under unfavorable conditions. To counteract this, a fuse may be formed in the region of the slot according to an advantageous proposal of the invention. For this purpose, photoelectric sensors or other sensors as well as Blendprofile that are flexible and serve to rejuvenate the slot.

According to an advantageous proposal of the invention, two passage locking units are positioned directly next to each other. In this case, the arcuate locking elements of the respective locking units can be arranged in opposite directions, offset in the longitudinal direction or in height or the like. In an advantageous manner, it can be provided that passage barriers arranged next to each other comprise a common center element which serves to introduce two blocking elements.

According to a further advantageous proposal of the invention, the side element can have two slots, so that the blocking element can be moved through the side element. Thus, the blocking element can optionally be arranged closer or further to the one or the other side of the passage. This has the advantage that you can optimize passage barriers for a passage direction and this optimization can also reverse the operation as required. This mode of operation is particularly desirable when it is known that certain passage directions are preferably required at certain times - e.g. Admission to an event and later leaving the event. The optimization for a passage direction is typically chosen so that the distance is extended from entering the passage barrier until reaching the blocking element (the user runs in the direction of the concave side of the blocking element). Since the command to open the locking element is typically given on entering the passage barrier, the extended distance allows more time to open the locking elements.

With the invention, a passage barrier which can be produced with a manageable economic outlay is proposed, which is extremely flexible in terms of design. It comes with very slim or narrow side elements and can be built almost arbitrarily high, since the locking elements can be performed in doubt in the area of the edges.

In the figures, the same elements are provided with the same reference numerals.

According to Fig. 1 a passage barrier 1 comprises two side elements 2 as well as two blocking elements 3. Between the side elements 2 is a passage 4. The blocking elements 3 move along the arrows 5 from one as in FIG Fig. 1 shown closed position in a as in Fig. 2 shown open position. The locking elements rotate about a virtual axis of rotation 6 Fig. 2 can then be passed in the direction of arrows 7 of the passage.

Examples of the execution of the movement of the locking elements 3 are in the Figures 3 . 4 and 5 shown.

According to Fig. 3 is the blocking element 3 along the arrow 5 back and forth movable. In order to generate the corresponding driving force is in the embodiment according to Fig. 3 a friction wheel 8 is provided as a drive wheel. Other guide wheels 9 serve the stable leadership. Of course, wheels or roller segments can be used instead of wheels. In addition, not shown guides may be provided in the region of the upper and / or lower edge of the blocking element 3.

According to the embodiment in Fig. 4 a gear is provided to allow a frictional driving force transmission. For this purpose, for example, be provided on the locking elements, a toothed rail or corresponding openings, cams, sinks or the like.

At the in Fig. 5 In the embodiment shown, a linear drive 11 moves the one end of a push rod 13 in the direction of the double arrow 12 back and forth and can thus push the blocking element 3 into a closed position or pull it into an open position via the other end of the push rod 13.

In the area in which the blocking element 3, the side member 2 and whose outer skin protrudes, as in Fig. 6 In this case, the area 14 is shown enlarged and shows the slot 15, in the accidentally a hand 16 could penetrate. To prevent this, for example, as in Fig. 7 is shown, a light barrier can be arranged. 17 shows the transmitter / receiver of a light barrier. As soon as a hand or other object penetrates into the slot 15 of the side element 2, for example, a further movement of the blocking element 3 can be stopped.

The FIGS. 8th and 9 show the arrangement of a double passage barrier 20. This comprises two juxtaposed passage barriers 21 and 22. There are the outer side members 23 and the central element 24, which is common to both Durchgangsperperreinheiten 21 and 22. The locking elements 25 are movable in the direction of the movement arrows 26 of a as in Fig. 8 shown closed position in a as in Fig. 9 shown open position to make the passages 28 free. For this purpose, the locking elements rotate about a virtual axis of rotation 27. Depending on the arcuate configuration of the locking elements 25, the side members 23 may be formed correspondingly slim. The two middle locking elements 25 are accommodated in the middle element 24 in parallel. For passage barriers with more than two passes, the structure is according to FIGS. 8th and 9 repeated such that the desired number of passes is achieved by the use of a corresponding number of center elements 24. Middle elements can also be formed by juxtaposed side elements.

In the FIGS. 10 to 13 different embodiments are shown.

According to Fig. 10 is a pair of locking elements rotated by 180 °, that is, the passages act in opposite directions. The axes of rotation 27 lie substantially at the same distance from the ends of the passage barrier.

According to the embodiment in Fig. 11 the axes of rotation 27 are offset from each other, that is, the locking elements 25 are substantially displaced in the same area. In this way, for example, can be effected that the middle element can be slimmer, since the middle locking elements are not adjacent to each other, but are shifted in the longitudinal direction to each other.

At the in Fig. 12 the embodiment shown, the locking elements are arranged rectified, but the axes of rotation 27 also offset from each other, so that the offset 29 results.

In the embodiment in Fig. 13 In turn, the middle locking elements 25 are offset in height with respect to their lower edges, so that the offset 30 results there.

The execution of offset favors the arrangement of drive elements and can be carried out depending on the design and requirement within the scope of the invention.

In the FIGS. 14 and 15 For example, prior art embodiments are shown. The figure A shows the closed front view, the figure B is a top view. According to Fig. 14 the passage barrier 31 is formed of two side elements 32 and two blocking elements 33. These can be door-like swing open along the arrows 34 to release the passage 35.

In Fig. 15 in turn, 32 pivotable plate members 36 are arranged between the two side members, which can be pivoted about an axis, not shown, so that the upper portions along the arrows 37 move away. These pivot in the side members 32 and thus release the passage 38 or lock it.
