Description

The invention relates to a turnstile for access control and/or isolation.

Turnstiles are used for access control and/or isolation of people in particular. For this purpose, the turnstiles can be located in a building or outside a building, for example to control access to an outdoor area. A turnstile has a vertical, rotatable column. Several turnstile wings extend from this column, for example three or four turnstile wings. When passing through the turnstile, the person passing is located between two turnstile wings, with either the person passing driving the turnstile or a drive unit being provided for rotating the turnstile. In contrast to revolving doors, the wing of turnstiles does not have a closed surface, but is formed by several, essentially vertically extending blocking elements. The locking elements are usually welded to the column.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a turnstile for access control and/or isolation, which is simple to manufacture and easy to assemble and enables safe and comfortable use.

The problem is solved through the features of the independent claim. The dependent claims relate to preferred developments of the invention.

The invention shows a turnstile for access control and/or isolation, especially of people. The turnstile includes a vertical, rotatably mounted column. The column is preferably mounted in a pivot bearing at least at one of its two ends. Particularly preferably, the column is mounted in a pivot bearing at the upper end and at the lower end.

Preferably the turnstile includes a speed manipulation unit. The speed manipulation unit is preferably designed as a drive for accelerating the rotational movement of the turnstile and/or as a brake for decelerating the rotational movement of the turnstile. One of the two rotary bearings can be integrated into this speed manipulation unit. The drive is particularly preferably an electric motor. However, the turnstile can also be designed for manual operation, with the person passing by causing the turnstile to rotate.

In particular, the speed manipulation unit can be at least partially, preferably completely, integrated into the column. This speed manipulation unit is preferably designed as a drive, in particular comprising at least one tubular motor. This allows the height of the turnstile to be reduced.

Furthermore, the turnstile comprises several turnstile wings, each turnstile wing being formed by several blocking element arrangements arranged one above the other. In particular, the turnstile comprises two, three, four or five turnstile wings which are fixed relative to the column and protrude from the column in a star shape. Each turnstile wing is formed by several locking element arrangements. For this purpose, the locking element arrangements are arranged on the column and extend especially vertically away from the column. The locking element arrangements are thus arranged with their inner end on the column; the outer end of the respective locking element arrangement is in particular free.

Particularly preferably, the individual turnstile wing is formed by at least four, preferably at least five, blocking element arrangements arranged one above the other and in particular spaced apart from one another. The relevant height of the turnstile extends from the lowest blocking element arrangement to the highest blocking element arrangement. This relevant height of the turnstile is preferably taller than a man, i.e. preferably at least 2 m high. In an alternative embodiment, the relevant height is between 80 cm and 160 cm.

The turnstile preferably comprises a locking rake which, in contrast to the rotating column or the locking element arrangements rotating with the column, is arranged in a stationary manner. The locking rake preferably comprises a plurality of locking rake elements which extend horizontally between the locking element arrangements. However, the turnstile can also be designed without a barrier, especially if access in both directions of rotation of the turnstile is desired.

According to a preferred embodiment, not a simple tube or a rod, but at least a hollow chamber profile is used for the column. This hollow chamber profile is in particular an extruded profile. The hollow chamber profile is particularly preferably made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. The locking element arrangements are attached to the at least one hollow chamber profile.

The at least one hollow chamber profile enables a very simple and flexible design of the column, especially since a wide variety of geometries are possible for hollow chamber profiles. Furthermore enabled the hollow chamber profile, for example through receiving grooves, a simple and flexible attachment of the locking element arrangements to the hollow chamber profile. This makes it possible to design both the number and the design of the locking element arrangements for the individual purpose.

Furthermore, the use of individual locking element arrangements that are attached to the hollow chamber profile enables assembly at the place of use, for example on the construction site. The individual parts, in particular the hollow chamber profile and the locking element arrangements, can be transported to the place of use relatively easily; With conventional turnstiles with blocking elements welded to the column, this transport is much more complicated due to the bulky format.

The hollow chamber profile used for the column has at least one hollow chamber. This hollow chamber can also be a chamber that is open to the outside, i.e. a groove. In particular, such a groove is described in more detail within the scope of the invention as a “receiving groove”. It is preferably provided that the hollow chamber profile also has at least one inner chamber in addition to the at least one receiving groove. This inner chamber is characterized by the fact that it is closed when looking at the cross section of the hollow chamber profile. Using such an inner chamber results in a stable but at the same time weight-optimized geometry of the hollow chamber profile.

Two variants are preferably provided for constructing the cross section of the column from the at least one hollow chamber profile:
According to a first variant, the cross section of the column is formed by a single hollow chamber profile. The locking element arrangements of all turnstile wings are attached to this one hollow chamber profile.

According to a second variant, the cross section of the column is formed by several hollow chamber profiles arranged in parallel. In particular, a hollow chamber profile is provided for each turnstile wing, so that the locking element arrangements of a respective turnstile wing are attached to a hollow chamber profile. These several hollow chamber profiles can be put together to form a column. The advantage of this second variant is that an assembly consisting of a hollow chamber profile and locking element arrangements attached to it can be transported prefabricated to the site of use. Such a prefabricated assembly is also relatively easy to transport because it is essentially flat and the three-dimensional turnstile with the multiple turnstile wings is only created by assembling the multiple hollow chamber profiles to form a column.

In both variants, i.e. both when using a single hollow chamber profile and when using several parallel hollow chamber profiles, it is preferably provided that the individual hollow chamber profile extends over the entire relevant height of the turnstile. Alternatively, it is provided that several hollow chamber profiles are lined up along the relevant height of the turnstile, but these preferably directly adjoin one another, so that the at least one receiving groove for fastening the locking element arrangements extends continuously over the entire relevant height.

It is preferably provided that each individual locking element arrangement can be released non-positively and/or positively and/or non-destructively the column, in particular on the at least one hollow chamber profile, is attached.

In particular, it is provided that the blocking element arrangements are not cohesively connected to the column, which in particular results in non-destructive detachability.

As already mentioned, it is preferably provided that the column has at least one receiving groove. In particular, the receiving groove is located on an outside of the at least one hollow chamber profile. If only one hollow chamber profile is used for all turnstile wings, this hollow chamber profile preferably has at least one receiving groove for each turnstile wing. If a separate hollow chamber profile is used for each turnstile wing, there is preferably at least one receiving groove for this turnstile wing on each hollow chamber profile.

The individual receiving groove preferably extends over the entire relevant height of the turnstile, i.e. from the lowest locking element arrangement to the highest locking element arrangement.

The respective receiving groove is designed in particular for the positive insertion of the locking element arrangement.

It is preferably provided that the receiving groove has at least one undercut. In particular, the receiving groove has two opposite undercuts and is therefore designed in particular as a dovetail groove.

The respective locking element arrangement can be inserted into the associated at least one receiving groove, preferably from the upper or lower end of the column, and can therefore be received in a form-fitting manner become. In addition, it is preferably provided that the locking element arrangement can be fastened to the column in a non-positive manner by means of at least one screw.

Preferably, the blocking element arrangements each comprised at least one blocking element. The individual blocking element extends in particular vertically outwards from the column and thus extends in particular horizontally. The individual turnstile wing is preferably formed by at least four, preferably at least five, blocking elements arranged one above the other and in particular spaced apart from one another. In particular, one or more blocking elements of the blocking element arrangements can be designed to be rectilinear or wave-shaped or paddle-shaped. This can increase user-friendliness.

Preferably, the individual locking element arrangement comprises only one locking element; This preferably applies to all locking element arrangements. Alternatively, at least one locking element arrangement can have a plurality of locking elements; In particular, it is provided that such a blocking element arrangement is star-shaped and only includes one blocking element arrangement of each turnstile wing.

It is particularly preferably provided that the individual locking element arrangement comprises a support that can be attached to the column and at least one (preferably exactly one) locking element that can be attached to the support. The locking element can be attached to the carrier at one end in an I-shaped configuration and can be free at the other end. In an alternative embodiment, the locking element is, for example, U-shaped, with the free ends of the two legs of the U-shape being connected to the carrier.

The carrier is preferably designed to be inserted into the at least one receiving groove of the column.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the carrier can be screwed onto the column to fix the position. It may be sufficient if the carrier is wedged in the receiving groove using such a screw connection so that it cannot slide down. Additionally or alternatively, spacer elements are preferably provided which are inserted into the receiving groove between two adjacent supports, in particular in the vertical direction, and thus space the supports apart from one another.

The carrier preferably comprises a base for attachment to the column, in particular for insertion into the receiving groove, and an extension projecting from the base. This extension is designed to attach the locking element. Particularly preferably, the extension and the locking element have complementary positive-locking elements which engage one another when the locking element is placed on the extension.

The carrier is preferably cast from metal or injection molded from plastic.

The carrier is particularly preferably made in one piece with the base and extension.

At least one electrical unit can preferably be arranged on or in at least one blocking element arrangement. The individual electrical unit is designed to display information and/or to record the surroundings. At least one, preferably several, particularly preferably all, of the electrical units described here are located on or in the blocking elements.

It is preferably provided that at least one electrical unit is located in several of the blocking element arrangements. In particular, it is provided that each turnstile wing has at least one, preferably several, electrical units.

In a single blocking element arrangement, in particular in the individual blocking element, there can be an electrical unit or there can be several electrical units. When using several electrical units per blocking element arrangement, it is in particular provided that these electrical units have different directions of action, in particular display the information in opposite directions and/or detect the surroundings.

The individual electrical unit, in particular each electrical unit, is preferably connected to a control unit via column cabling. This column cabling preferably runs from the control unit through the column to the individual electrical units in the blocking element arrangements.

In a preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned carrier has a cable channel for guiding cables, in particular the column cabling, from the locking element through the carrier or past the carrier into the column. The cable duct can be located inside the carrier and/or on a surface of the carrier.

The individual locking element is preferably designed as a hollow chamber profile. The at least one electrical unit is preferably inserted, in particular pushed, into a hollow chamber, in particular into an electrical unit groove that is open to the outside, of the locking element. This results in a simple and flexible structure of the locking elements with electrical units.

The individual electrical unit, preferably several, particularly preferably all electrical unit(s), preferably comprises/comprise a lighting unit which is designed to imitate a light signal. The lighting unit has at least one lighting means, for example an LED.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that at least one, preferably several, particularly preferably all electrical unit(s) comprise/comprise at least one sensor unit. The sensor unit of the electrical unit is designed to detect the surroundings of the turnstile. In particular, a person and/or another object in the vicinity of the turnstile can be detected.

The control unit is connected to the individual electrical units in particular via the column cabling described and can thereby control the electrical units individually or in groups.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the control unit is connected to the speed manipulation unit already described in order to thereby brake and/or accelerate the rotational movement of the turnstile.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the turnstile has a central sensor unit which is designed to detect the surroundings of the turnstile. This makes it possible, for example, to detect whether a person is approaching or whether a person or other object is within the rotation area. This central sensor unit is preferably not located on the turnstile wings, but on another non-rotatable part of the turnstile.

Preferably, the control unit is designed to control the rotational speed and/or rotational acceleration and/or the Detecting the rotation angle of the turnstile, for example via your own sensors or through signals from the speed manipulation unit.

The lighting unit of the electrical unit is preferably designed to emit at least two different light colors, in particular red and green light colors. Additionally or alternatively, the lighting unit includes a display that is designed to display text and/or symbols and/or images.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the control unit is designed to control the speed manipulation unit, in particular to brake and/or accelerate the rotational movement of the column and thus of the turnstile, depending on the detected environment. This surroundings detection can take place both with the sensor unit of one of the electrical units and/or with the central sensor unit of the turnstile.

By using the electrical units and the corresponding design of the control unit described here, it is possible, for example, to detect an approaching person at the turnstile then activate the speed manipulation unit to drive the turnstile in rotation.

Furthermore, it is possible, for example, to signal to the user on which side of the turnstile he should pass the turnstile by appropriate use of the lighting units, for example by giving a green light signal in one turnstile wing and a red light signal on the other turnstile wing.

By taking the angle of rotation into account, it can be achieved, for example, that a user enters the correct segment, i.e. between the two correct turnstile wings. For example, the light signal can switch from green to red as soon as the respective segment has rotated too far for a person to enter safely.

There are several turnstile wings 3 on the column 2, in the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 1 Four turnstile wings 3 are provided.

Each turnstile wing 3 is formed by several locking element arrangements 4 arranged one above the other. The individual locking element arrangements 4 are spaced apart from one another in the vertical direction. How Fig. 1 shows, the height 32 of the turnstile 1 relevant here extends from the lowest blocking element arrangement 4 to the highest blocking element arrangement 4.

In all exemplary embodiments, the turnstile 1 can have a speed manipulation unit 6, which is designed to accelerate and/or brake the rotational movement of the column 2 and thus of the entire turnstile 1. The speed manipulation unit 6 is preferably connected to a control unit 7 and can be controlled by the control unit 7. A central sensor unit 8 can be arranged on the control unit 7. Via this central sensor unit 8 it is possible to detect the surroundings of the turnstile 1, in particular people or objects in this surroundings, and report this to the control unit 7. Column cabling 10 leads from the control unit 7 into the interior of the column 2.

In each exemplary embodiment, at least one electrical unit 9 is provided. In particular, it is provided that at least one electrical unit 9 is arranged in several of the blocking element arrangements 4, in particular blocking elements 18. In most figures, the electrical unit 9 is indicated by a dashed line for the sake of clarity Line shown. Each electrical unit 9 is connected to the column cabling 10 and thus also to the control unit 7.

According to the illustration in Fig. 1 The turnstile 1 can have a locking rake 5 which intervenes between the locking element arrangements 4. Such a locking rake 5 can optionally be used in the turnstiles 1 of all exemplary embodiments.

Figs. 2 and 3 show in detail the structure of the locking element arrangements 4 and the connection of the locking element arrangements 4 to the column 2. Accordingly, the column 2 is formed by a hollow chamber profile 11. This hollow chamber profile 11 extends over the entire relevant height 32 and is made in one piece. The hollow chamber profile 11 has four receiving grooves 12, which form hollow chambers of this profile that are open to the outside. A receiving groove 12 is therefore provided for each turnstile wing 3. Furthermore, the hollow chamber profile 11 has several inner chambers 13.

The locking element arrangement 4 has a carrier 14. The carrier 14 includes a base 15, from which an extension 16 extends. At the base 15 there are screw holes 17 for inserting screws, in particular grub screws. The locking element 18 can be plugged onto the extension 16 of the carrier 14. The electrical unit 9 is located in this locking element 18 Fig. 3 is only shown purely schematically. To cover the electrical unit 9, the blocking element arrangement 4 can have an electrical unit cover 19.

Like the detailed presentation in particular Fig. 4 clarified, the carriers 14 with the base 15 are inserted into the associated receiving groove 12. To fix the position of the carriers 14 and thus to space the locking elements 18, corresponding spacer elements 20 can be inserted into the receiving groove 12 between two adjacent carriers 14 become. In addition or as an alternative to the spacer elements 12, the carriers 14 can be wedged using appropriate screws inserted into the screw holes 17.

For a pleasing appearance and to cover the screw holes 17, a column cover 21 can be placed on the receiving groove 12.

Fig. 5 shows the cross section of the hollow chamber profile 11 of the column 2. It can be seen that each receiving groove 12 has two opposite undercuts 24 and is therefore designed like a dovetail.

In each receiving groove 12 there is a cable groove 22 for vertically guiding the column cabling 10. Fig. 6 shows a possible embodiment of the carrier 14 with base 15 and extension 16. The extension 16 here has positive locking elements 25.

Fig. 7 shows a cross section of the locking element 18, here designed as a hollow chamber profile. A hollow chamber with positive locking elements 25 is provided in the locking element 18. The complementary form-fitting elements 25 on the extension 16 and in the locking element 18 can be inserted into one another. Further clarified Fig. 7 that the locking element 18 can have an electrical unit groove 23 into which the electrical unit 9 is inserted, in particular pushed.

Fig. 8 shows a schematic section showing the arrangement of the carrier 14 in the receiving groove 12 and the attached locking element 18 can be clearly seen on the carrier 14. Furthermore clarified Fig. 8 purely schematically, the electrical unit 9 can have both a lighting unit 26 and a sensor unit 27.

From the electrical unit 9, the column cabling 10 runs through a cable duct 29 in the carrier 14 into the column 2 or into the hollow chamber profile 11.

Fig. 9 shows a schematic view of part of the turnstile 1 according to the second exemplary embodiment. Only two of four turnstile wings 3 are shown. Associated detailed views are in the 10 and 11 to see.

In turnstile 1 according to the Fig. 9 to 11 the locking element 18 is not I-shaped as in the first exemplary embodiment, but rather U-shaped. The two ends of this U-shape are connected to the carrier 14.

The design of the carrier 14 for the second exemplary embodiment shows in particular Fig. 10 . This geometry of the carrier 14 can also be inserted into the corresponding receiving groove 12 of the column 2.

Fig. 12 shows a schematic view of the turnstile 1 according to the third exemplary embodiment. Fig. 13 shows an associated detailed view. In the third exemplary embodiment, each blocking element arrangement 4 comprises three blocking elements 18. Each blocking element arrangement 4 has a blocking element 18 of a turnstile wing 3. In the Fig. 12 and 13 only three turnstile wings 3 are provided. In the same design, four turnstile wings 3 can also be provided, for example.

Fig. 13 clarifies in the detailed view that the three locking elements 18 of a respective locking element arrangement 4 are attached to a carrier 14 are. This carrier 14 in turn can be inserted into three receiving grooves 12 of the column 2.

Furthermore clarified Fig. 12 that in addition to or instead of a barrier 5 a barrier wall 28 can be used on the turnstile 1. Such a barrier wall 28 can be used in the turnstiles 1 of all exemplary embodiments.

Fig. 14 shows part of the turnstile 1 according to the fourth exemplary embodiment. Only one of four turnstile wings 3 is shown. Fig. 15 shows a detailed view of this, where in Fig. 15 all four turnstile wings 3 are shown.

In construction according to the Fig. 14 and 15 the column 2 is composed of four hollow chamber profiles 11. In particular Fig. 15 clarifies that the cross section of the column 2 is formed by these four hollow chamber profiles 11. Each hollow chamber profile 11 has a receiving groove 12 into which the respective locking element arrangements 4 of the associated turnstile wing 3 are inserted.

The configurations and features of the turnstile 1 shown in the different exemplary embodiments can be combined and exchanged with one another, as was explained in the general part of the description. Furthermore, it is possible, in particular in the context of all exemplary embodiments, to have several hollow chamber profiles 11 according to Fig. 14 and 15 to use.
