Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a barrier for controlling entrances to restricted access areas, provided with a safety system acting in case of an impact. More in particular, the present invention relates to a barrier comprising a lifting bar designed to be released from its support when a given external force is applied to said bar, so as to prevent damage to the barrier and the movement system thereof in case of an impact.
  • the access control barriers are very common for controlling traffic and access to areas where entrances need to be filtered. These barriers are usually employed in places such as parking lots, toll lanes, private areas, and commercial areas.
  • the arm or bar of access control barriers is anchored to a support and movement column and elongated in the crosswise direction with respect to the regulated access route.
  • the bar is usually operated by a control system, often inside the support and movement column, in which an electromechanical actuator is appropriately controlled by an electrical signal from an operator or a magnetic or optical card reader or even from a proximity or presence detector.
  • the barrier bar is activated when a vehicle preauthorized for access approaches and is then lowered after the vehicle has passed.
  • the available automatic barriers of the most advanced type are adapted to detect a possible impact of the bar on the vehicle and to react by lifting again the bar automatically.
  • the response times often do not allow avoiding considerable damage, both to the vehicle and the bar. This is even more true when breakable type bars are used, characterized by high replacement costs.
  • the barrier is associated with heavy traffic routes, such as the freeway access toll lanes, for example, the operating speed to repair a bar damaged by an impact becomes crucial to avoid the formation of potentially dangerous queues and traffic jams.
  • a barrier with a safety release device is known from CN 202 073 054 U .
  • the aforementioned safety systems should be able to allow a quick repair intervention to avoid long interruptions of the traffic circulation regulated by the barrier and preferably be independent of the type, shape, and size of the bar used.
  • the present invention relates to a barrier for controlling entrances to restricted access areas.
  • the barrier is provided with a bar and a safety release system associated with said bar which acts in case of an impact.
  • Said safety release system is adapted to minimize the damage caused by any impact between the barrier itself and a vehicle attempting to force its way through the controlled access point, and is further adapted to allow a quick repair of the damaged barrier temporarily out of service.
  • the barrier preferably comprises a bar and a support and movement column to which said bar is connected.
  • the support and movement column comprises suitable means for moving the bar according to known and commonly used embodiments.
  • said movement means can comprise a manual-type drive comprising a rotating shaft connected to one end of the barrier bar so as to control the lifting and lowering thereof with respect to the road surface.
  • said movement means can comprise an electromechanical drive comprising an electric motor driven by a control system controlled, in turn, by an electrical signal from an operator or a magnetic or optical card reader or a proximity or presence detector.
  • the shaft of the electric motor is connected to one end of the barrier bar so as to control the lifting thereof with respect to the road surface when a vehicle preauthorized for access approaches, and then the lowering after the vehicle has passed.
  • connection between the aforementioned shafts and one end of the barrier bar is achieved by a pair of flanges hinged to each other on one side.
  • a first flange is provided with a through-hole adapted to engage a pin which is integral with a second flange.
  • the first flange is provided with an elastic element anchored to the first flange and arranged around the through-hole so as to narrow the useful diameter thereof when at rest.
  • the pin being integral with the second flange is shaped so as to have a narrowing with a smaller diameter than the pin head diameter, which in turn is smaller than the diameter of the through-hole of the first flange.
  • said first flange and said second flange are connectable to the manual or electric actuating shaft of the bar, or to the end of the barrier bar, or both, according to usual methods of the art.
  • a sheet metal cover which contains and supports the end part of the bar and is secured to one of the two flanges by means of screws, can be used to secure the bar.
  • a counter-flange which can be either directly welded to the shaft or butt-connected by means of screws, can be used to secure the shaft.
  • the first flange is connected to the drive shaft while the barrier bar is connected to the second flange.
  • the pin which is integral with the second flange engages the through-hole and the elastic element associated therewith.
  • the insertion of the pin into the through-hole causes the initial spreading of the elastic element associated with the hole, which spreading is due to the action of the pin head.
  • the elastic element itself will return to its resting dimensions by reversibly engaging the narrowing present on the pin body.
  • the barrier bar for controlling entrances to restricted access areas can be normally moved by the support and movement column according to the usual functions, because it is appropriately anchored, by means of the two flanges hinged together, to the shaft of the manual or electric drive of the aforementioned support and movement column.
  • the force applied to the bar during the impact will be such as to cause the displacement of the pin of the second flange which will spread the elastic element, protrude from the through-hole of the first flange, and thus allow the bar to open by rotating horizontally about the joint hinge of the aforementioned two flanges.
  • This horizontal movement of the bar will allow preserving the integrity of the bar and the actuation system thereof, as well as limiting any damage to the body of the vehicle which caused the impact.
  • the release force of the bar can be easily programmed and set by means of the aforesaid elastic element associated with the first flange.
  • the minimum force required to cause the bar to be released can be precisely established by appropriately choosing the material of the elastic element and its stiffness.
  • a further degree of freedom in programming the minimum release force of the bar can be provided by the arrangement of different points for anchoring the elastic element to the aforementioned first flange.
  • anchoring points By appropriately choosing these anchoring points, it is possible to ensure that said elastic element can be positioned in different manners so as to reduce the useful diameter of the through-hole of the first flange to a different extent, and thus ultimately to achieve different minimum release forces of the bar.
  • the described system has a minimal impact on the barrier, also allowing possible retrofitting of existing barriers. Furthermore, the described system can be advantageously used with bars of different sizes and with sections of different shapes and dimensions, it will be sufficient to suitably size the two flanges and the mutual coupling means therebetween.
  • the barrier for controlling entrances to restricted access areas comprises a bar 10, a support and movement column 11, and mutual connecting means between said bar 10 and said column 11.
  • the support and movement column 11 is adapted to lift and lower the bar 10 to allow the passage of vehicles, for example, authorized to access areas or traffic lanes subject to narrowings and filterings.
  • said column 11 is internally provided with a manual or electromechanical drive system comprising a shaft connected, directly or indirectly, to one end of bar 10.
  • the electric motor inside the column 11 is driven by a control system controlled, in turn, by an electric signal produced by an operator or a magnetic or optical card reader, or a camera, or a proximity or presence detector, etc.
  • the electric signal gives consent to operate the electric motor which lifts the bar, rotating it about an axis passing through one end of said bar and substantially parallel to the ground.
  • the rotation applied to the bar 10 is generally limited to an angle which is either smaller than or equal to a quarter of a turn.
  • the mutual connection means between said bar 10 and said support and movement column 11 comprise, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a first flange 12 and a second flange 13 mutually hinged on one side.
  • the first flange 12 is provided with a through-hole 17 adapted to engage a pin 14 which is integral with the second flange 13.
  • the pin 14 is shaped so a to have a narrowing 15 with a smaller diameter than the maximum diameter of the pin head, which in turn is smaller than the diameter of the through-hole 17 of the first flange 12.
  • the first flange 12 is provided with an elastic element 16 arranged around the through-hole 17 and adapted to narrow the useful diameter thereof when at rest.
  • said first flange 12 and said second flange 13 are connectable to the manual or electric actuating shaft of bar 10, or to the end of the bar 10 of the barrier, or both, according to usual methods of the art.
  • a sheet metal cover 23 which contains and supports the end part of the bar and is secured to one of the two flanges by means of screws, can be used to secure the bar, as shown in accompanying Figs. 3 and 5 .
  • a counter-flange which can be either directly welded to the shaft or butt-connected by means of screws, can be used to secure the shaft, as shown in the accompanying Figs. 9 and 10 .
  • the pin 14 which is integral with the second flange 13 engages the through-hole 17 and the elastic element 16 associated therewith.
  • the insertion of pin 14 through the through-hole 17 causes the initial spreading of the elastic element 16, which spreading is due to the action of the head of pin 14.
  • the elastic element will return to the resting dimensions by reversibly engaging the narrowing 15 present on the body of pin 14.
  • the reversible engagement force between the elastic element 16 and the pin 14 will be such that the first flange 12 and second flange 13 are kept facing each other during normal operation of the barrier, thus ensuring the lifting and lowering of bar 10 by the support and movement column 11.
  • the force applied to the bar 10 by the impact in a transverse direction substantially parallel to the ground is such as to cause the disengagement of the pin 14 of the second flange 13 from the elastic element 16 of the first flange 12 and the consequent separation of the free ends of the two flanges.
  • This allows the bar which is integral with the second flange 13 to rotate around the hinge 18 in a direction substantially parallel to the ground so as to "accommodate" the received impact, thus minimizing the damage to the bar 10, the support and movement column 11, and the vehicle responsible for the impact.
  • the release force of bar 10 can be easily programmed and set by means of the elastic element 16 associated with the first flange 12. Indeed, the minimum force required to cause the release of the bar can be accurately determined by appropriately choosing the material of the elastic element and its stiffness. Furthermore, the first flange 12 can be provided with various securing points for the elastic element 16, said securing points being configured to obtain different resistive forces of the spring itself.
  • the elastic element 16 can be obtained by means of a spring of the bending type, such as of the clip or fork type, and said securing points comprise, for example, pairs of through-holes 19, 20, 21 made in the first flange 12 and adapted to house the ends of spring 16.
  • the spring 16 can be secured to the first flange 12 by means of a shell 22 adapted to be anchored to the first flange 12 and comprising a seat capable of containing the spring 16 both at rest and when spread, and positioning said spring 16 around said hole 17.
  • Securing points obtained in different manners can be provided, of both removable and non-removable types such as welding, riveting, etc.
  • the spring 16 can be positioned in different manners such as to reduce the useful diameter of the through-hole 17 of the first flange 12 to a different extent, and thus ultimately to obtain different minimum release forces of the bar.
  • Figs. 7 and 8 two embodiments of the different release forces of bar 10 are shown.
  • the ends of spring 16 are connected to a first pair of holes 20, 21 to obtain a first release resisting force.
  • Fig. 8 the ends of spring 16 are connected to a second pair of holes 19, 20 to obtain a second release resisting force.
  • the second release resisting force will be greater than the first release resisting force because the distance between the holes of the second pair of holes 19, 20 is lesser than the distance between the holes of the first pair of holes 20, 21.
  • the spring 16 will be more closed, thus promoting a greater narrowing of the through-hole 17 of the first flange 12, and therefore a greater force against the crossing by the head of pin 14.
