Abstract

In a through lock (1), the blocking element (7) is designed in the form of a ring segment (8) and is mounted in a blocking element holder (4) so that it can rotate horizontally, with at least one drive element (11, 12) in the blocking element holder (4) being connected to the ring segment ( 8) is in operative connection (Figure 1).

Description

The invention relates to a passage lock for a passage delimited by blocking or guiding elements according to the preamble of claim 1 and to methods for using such a passage lock with the features of claims 13 and 14.

A large number of transit locks are known. The simplest embodiment is that of a swing door, which can be found in almost every supermarket, for example. An example of such a barrier in the EP 0 643 189 A1 shown and described. A door leaf is arranged on a pillar, which can be pivoted about its vertical axis and thus opens or blocks the passage. The pivoting movement can be carried out manually or with an electric motor.

In the DE 10 2011 012 341 A1 it is proposed that in such a device for closing the pedestrian passage the energy supply and/or the information transmission should be carried out with contact and/or without contact.

Another design is in the EP 3 334 888 B1 shown and described. The version there is equipped with an electric motor and various sensors, which allows access control to be automated.

A similar device is in CA 2 267 394C shown and described. There, several barriers arranged linearly one behind the other are proposed for a passage lock.

Furthermore, in the DE 20 2011 051 222 U1 shown and described a passage lock, which should be used in particular at airports. The main focus of this document is on the automation for the so-called self-boarding. In this case, the locking device is realized by a double wing lock.

A relatively elaborately designed passage barrier can be found in DE 20 2017 000 978 U1 , in which a turnstile is arranged in a turnstile, through which the passage through the turnstile is alternately released or blocked.

Another device for separating people is in the 20 2007 009 322 U1 shown and described. There, a rotation unit comprises a plurality of barrier bars, which each block the passage after sweeping over a rotation section.

A similar device is in the DE 20 2005 012 659 U1 as well as in the NL 9201749 shown as a turnstile. With these turnstiles, after one person has passed through, the subsequent blocking arm prevents the passage of another person.

Such a device is also in the DE 196 12 328 A1 shown and described. The special feature of this turnstile is that the locking arms are curved.

This prior art, which is presented as an example, has disadvantages. It is often difficult for people with luggage or strollers and the like to overcome such barriers.

The present invention is based on the object of creating a device for separating people and allowing them to pass through or blocking their passage, as well as specifying a method for using such a device.

A device according to the invention is in the form of a. Created a passage lock, with a passage limited by blocking or guide elements, with a blocking element that can be rotated about a vertical axis between a blocking position and a passage position, in which the blocking element is designed in the form of a ring segment and is mounted in a blocking element holder so that it can rotate horizontally, and in which at least one drive element in the locking element holder is in operative connection with the ring segment.

Such a passage sluice is advantageous if the blocking element holder consists essentially of a pillar, the one at its free end Carrying drive cage, the interior of which is penetrated by the ring segment, and when the drive element corresponds to the contour of the ring segment.

A pass-through lock is designed particularly advantageously if the ring segment is driven by a frictional connection between its contour and the drive element, in particular if the drive is realized by opposite, electrically operated friction wheels, between which the contour is accommodated and the ring segment can be moved by friction, where several pairs of opposing friction wheels can be present.

However, a passage lock can also be designed advantageously if the ring segment is driven by a positive fit between its contour and the drive element.

A passage lock is particularly advantageous when the ring segment is elliptical or in the special elliptical shape of a torus segment.

In the case of a passage lock, it is also advantageous if the drive cage, including the blocking element, and the standing column are connected by means of a joint.

A transit lock is also advantageously designed if it has sensors and/or display elements and/or interfaces for wireless information transmission. As a result, the transit lock and/or the ring segment can be used as an advertising medium, information medium and the like and also display warnings. Through an interface, maintenance, control and other settings can be simplified.

A passage lock is equipped particularly advantageously if the ring segment contains sensors and/or display elements and/or interfaces for wireless information transmission, as explained above.

• In einem ersten Verfahrensschritt ist die Durchgangsschleuse geschlossen, die Person erhält Zutritt und die Durchgangsschleuse öffnet;
• im zweiten Verfahrensschritt öffnet die Durchgangsschleuse weiter und die Person beginnt die Durchgangsschleuse zu verlassen; nach vollständiger Öffnung hat die Person die Durchgangsschleuse verlassen und sie schließt wieder;
• nun ist die Durchgangsschleuse geschlossen und die nächste Person erhält Zutritt um im weiteren Verlauf beim Öffnen der Durchgangsschleuse den Durchgang zu beginnen.

When using a passage lock according to the invention, the following methods are advantageous:

• In a first method step, the passage lock is closed, the person is granted access and the passage lock opens;
• in the second method step, the passage lock opens further and the person begins to leave the passage lock; after full opening, the person has left the passage lock and it closes again;
• now the passage lock is closed and the next person gets access to start the passage later when opening the passage lock.

• Der erste Schritt beginnt mit dem Warten vor der geschlossenen Durchgangsschleuse;
• danach beginnt die Öffnung und der Eintritt in die Durchgangsschleuse; anschließend findet weiteres Öffnen und Beginn des Durchschreitens der Durchgangsschleuse statt;
• danach wird die Durchgangsschleuse verlassen, es beginnt das Schließen und das Sperren der Durchgangsschleuse.

However, a passage cycle that deviates somewhat from this can also be implemented in an advantageous manner with the passage barrier according to the invention.

• The first step begins with waiting in front of the closed gate;
• after that, the opening and entry into the passage lock begins; then further opening and beginning of passing through the passage lock takes place;
• after that the passage lock is left, the closing and blocking of the passage lock begins.

With the help of an embodiment, the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawings

At an in figure 1 passage lock 1 shown, the passage is limited by means of two blocking or guiding elements 2 and 3 . The through lock 1 has a blocking element holder in the form of a vertical column 4 . At the free end of the sand column 4 there is a drive cage 5 whose interior space 6 is penetrated by a blocking element 7 . This blocking element 7 consists of a ring segment 8 which is mounted in the drive cage 5 so as to oscillate horizontally in rotation, with the oscillating movement of the blocking element 7 essentially taking place on a horizontal circular path. Depending on the current position of the blocking element 7, the passage through the passage lock 1 is released or blocked.

In figure 2 is shown schematically in a spatial plan view of the interior 6 of the drive cage 5. The path of the oscillating ring segment 8 runs through this interior space 6 . Two electric motors 9 and 10 synchronized with one another each drive a drive unit 11 and 12 . Each drive unit 11 and 12 has a pair of friction wheels 13, 14 and 15, 16, between which the ring segment 8 is guided and transported with as little slippage as possible.

In figure 3 is supplementary to figure 2 the drive cage 5 is shown in plan view with a view of the interior 6 . Both electric motors 9 and 10 with the drive units 11 and 12 assigned to them can be seen: The friction wheel pairs 13, 14 and 15, 16 clearly hold the ring segment 8 between them. Set in rotation by the two electric motors 9 and 10, the friction wheel pairs 13, 14 and 15, 16 drive the latter due to their friction with the contour 17 of the ring segment 8, so that it is moved on a circular path. At the ends of the ring segment 8, the electric motors 9 and 10 are reversed so that the friction wheel pairs 13, 14 and 15, 16 of the drive units 11 and 12 change their direction of rotation and move the ring segment 8 back on its circular path.

In the Figures 4a to 4d different views and positions of the passage lock 1 are illustrated in a highly schematic manner. Figure 4a shows a passage lock 1 in plan view and in the "closed" state. The pillar 4 with the drive cage 5 is arranged between two blocking or guiding elements 2 and 3 . The ring segment 8 is "locked" in its end position, as a result of which passage between the locking or guiding elements 2 and 3 is prevented. Figure 4b shows the same state of the passage lock 1 in front view.

Another significant advantage of the passage lock 1 according to the invention is its behavior in the event of a fault. This is from the Figures 4c and 4d apparent. Analogous to Figure 4a indicates Figure 4c a plan view of the passage lock 1, but here in an emergency position. Since in an emergency the passage between the blocking or guiding elements 2 and 3 must be released, the drive cage 5 tilts into a vertical position in such a situation, which is made possible by a joint 18 between the support column 4 and the drive cage 5 . The ring segment 8 as a blocking element 7 follows the tilting movement of the drive cage 5 and lies parallel to the vertical column 4, so that the passage between the blocking or guiding elements 2 and 3 can be passed largely unhindered. It does not matter which pendulum position the ring segment 8 is currently occupying when the emergency occurs. By tilting the complete drive cage 5, the free passage between the blocking or guide elements 2 and 3 is always reliably given, regardless of the position of the blocking element 7, i.e. regardless of the current pendulum position of the ring segment 8.

The emergency message can be triggered manually, automatically or remotely. Even in the event of a power failure, the aforementioned necessary steps to release the passage are triggered. When the emergency situation or the power failure has been resolved, that is to say is over, the drive cage 5 with the blocking element 7 is automatically returned to its normal working position.

Figure 4d Figure 1 shows the front view of the passage lock 1 in the emergency position. The vertical position of the blocking element 7 parallel to the pillar 4 can be seen.

• Gemäß Figur 5a ist in einem ersten Verfahrensschritt die Durchgangsschleuse 1 geschlossen, die Person erhält Zutritt und die Durchgangsschleuse öffnet;
• im zweiten Verfahrensschritt gemäß Figur 5b öffnet die Durchgangsschleuse 1 weiter und die Person beginnt die Durchgangsschleuse zu verlassen;
• gemäß Figur 5c hat nach vollständiger Öffnung die Person die Durchgangsschleuse 1 verlassen und die Durchgangsschleuse 1 schließt gemäß Figur 5d wieder;
• gemäß Figur 5e ist die Durchgangsschleuse 1 geschlossen und die nächste Person erhält Zutritt um im weiteren Verlauf gemäß Figur 5a beim Öffnen der Durchgangsschleuse 1 den Durchgang zu beginnen.

In the Figures 5a to 5e a passage cycle of a person through the passage lock 1 is shown graphically. The following process steps are provided in a preferred application of the passage lock 1:

• According to Figure 5a in a first method step, the access lock 1 is closed, the person is granted access and the access lock opens;
• in the second step according to Figure 5b further opens the passage lock 1 and the person begins to exit the passage lock;
• according to Figure 5c after full opening, the person has the passage lock 1 leave and the passage lock 1 closes according to Figure 5d again;
• according to Figure 5e the passage lock 1 is closed and the next person is granted access in accordance with the further course Figure 5a when opening the passage lock 1 to begin the passage.

• Der erste Schritt gemäß Figur 6a beginnt mit dem Warten vor der geschlossenen Durchgangsschleuse 1;
• Mit Figur 6b beginnt die Öffnung und Eintritt in die Durchgangsschleuse 1;
• Bei Figur 6c findet weiteres Öffnen und Beginn des Durchschreitens der Durchgangsschleuse 1 statt;
• Gemäß Figur 6d wird die Durchgangsschleuse 1 verlassen, es beginnt das Schließen und
• nach Figur 6e folgt das Sperren der Durchgangsschleuse 1.

In the Figures 6a to 6e a passage cycle that deviates somewhat from this is shown, but which can also be implemented with the passage barrier according to the invention.
According to figure 6 Another procedure for using a passage sluice1 with the following steps is advantageous:

• The first step according to Figure 6a starts waiting in front of the closed passage lock 1;
• With Figure 6b begins opening and entry into passage lock 1;
• at Figure 6c further opening and beginning of passing through the passage lock 1 takes place;
• According to Figure 6d the passage lock 1 is left, the closing begins and
• after Figure 6e Followed by the locking of passage lock 1.

It is clear from the above description that, at least in one position, the closing or opening movement describes a ring segment on a circular path around the longitudinal axis of the body of the respective person who is passing through the passage lock.
