Description

DESCRIPTION

CAPACITY CONTROL LIGHT DEVICE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a luminous information device, similar to a traffic light, for the control of capacity in commercial premises and establishments.

With the current health situation and the regulations imposed by the government, it comes to solve the problem of capacity and avoid crowds in a controlled way, limiting the number of people in a place through the corresponding green / red signals, sounds, the indication of the number of people who are currently inside the establishment, including the automatic door lock itself (although it would allow exit from inside the premises).

Another of the main advantages of this invention compared to other more rudimentary or conventional methods, would be to avoid a manual count of people accessing a premises, since the device performs and controls the process automatically, with the consequent cost savings in personnel and increased reliability of the system compared to the manual.

The industrial application of this invention is found within the sector of the manufacture of luminous electronic devices and equipment, and more specifically, luminous device with presence sensors for capacity control.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no invention identical to the one described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related thereto.

Thus, document ES1033661U refers to a passage control lock in premises, which being planned to be mounted in a premises to control and authorize the access or departure of people, all in a self-management regime, comprising one or two cabins independent, one for entry or / and exit, both being equipped with interior and exterior doors, the opening of which is carried out by telescopic lateral movement towards a clear area determined between the two cabins or on one side, with the particularity that this open area is closed both from the inside with a security door, and from the outside with a security and bulletproof glass panel, as well as the side walls of the cabins themselves; having also provided that the corresponding metal detector arch is mounted in the entrance or bidirectional cabin, located between the side walls of such cabin. It is therefore a control lock, while the main invention refers to a control and warning device in the form of a light signal, to limit the capacity in premises and establishments.

ES2009113A6 proposes a self-sufficient traffic light; incorporating in the body of the traffic light a box of electronic components in which a battery powered by transformation of photovoltaic and / or wind energy generated in the traffic light itself is arranged; and whose battery supplies current to: a microprocessor that governs the signals sent or received via antenna by a transmitter-receiver encoded to or from others. In this case it is an autonomous traffic light, but it is not associated with any capacity control as a preventive measure to avoid crowds in premises and establishments, this being the main object of the invention.

ES2155316A1 describes a booth for access control, being of the type of booths, which are arranged at the access entrances to certain places such as offices of banks and public bodies, in which a control is carried out to avoid the passage of people who may carry firearms or bladed weapons, so that the cabin comprises a pair of profiles and generally in an inverted U shape, on its front faces, and on one of its sides a closed cabin is defined accessible by the internal glazed wall that acts door and finger detection means of people who enter the establishment. Here the aforementioned document refers to an access control booth for examining firearms or blades, so once again neither the novelty nor the inventive activity of the main invention is affected.

ES1051392U claims a security and access control device, being of special application for its installation in the access to banking entities, which can be equipped with a compartment for at least one ATM, that the device comprises a pair of automatic doors, that between them define a security and control step according to a cabin for an ATM, between the exterior and the interior of the entity, arranging in relation to the external door some first function means associated with second function means provided in a control console. electronic control of the doors and access controls, while the internal door has third function and safety means of manual operation, both doors presenting, in relation to their two faces, presence detecting means, having provided that, in relation to the external face, both doors and, have means of communication with the control console, also presenting both doors and anti-entrapment means. The security and access control device described in this utility model is aimed at banking entities, and comprises a cabin provided with a pair of automatic doors, however, the main invention uses the entrance and access doors to the establishment or premises , since the purpose of it is to control the capacity from a luminous device with a presence sensor.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems posed as the proposed invention does.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The light capacity control device object of the present invention is made up of a luminous panel, traffic light type with two types of lights, preferably LED type, one green and one red, to allow or deny access to the interior of the premises respectively, depending on whether or not a preset maximum limit of allowed persons is reached. Additionally, they may carry symbols and shapes associated with each light, including indicating in numerical values how many people are inside and the maximum capacity of the establishment, being able to be placed on the side of the entrances, on the top or on pedestals at the entrances to it.

For the control of people, the device has a counting unit based on presence sensors distinguishing entrances and exits, which can be programmed to set a capacity, and thus the luminous sign acts in one way or another, either manually by entering data by keyboard and display, or by remote application or mobile application.

In addition to the light signals, it can incorporate other types of warnings such as sounds, or even actuators that block the doors or deactivate the presence / proximity sensors that make them open from the outside in the case of automatic doors.

On the other hand, it has a LAN or Wi-Fi network connection, in such a way that when the premises have more than one entry / exit point, they all synchronize with each other to maintain real control of the number of people who are inside.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A preferred embodiment of the luminous capacity control device object of the present invention, with reference to the numerical references, may be based on an informational device with a screen (1) with at least two types of lights, preferably of the LED type, one green and another red, to allow or deny access inside the premises respectively, depending on whether or not a preset maximum limit of allowed people is reached, although they may also have symbols and shapes associated with each light, including indicating in numerical values how many people are inside and the maximum capacity of the establishment.

Additionally, it may incorporate loudspeakers (2) and / or actuators (3) that block the doors or deactivate the presence / proximity sensors that make them open from the outside in the case of automatic doors.

For the control of people, the device has a counting unit (4) based on presence / volumetric sensors that distinguish between inputs and outputs, and from a control unit a capacity can be programmed and set, which will be the one that regulates the activation / deactivation of the lights on the device screen (1), as well as the sounds and other elements described above. Said programming can be done manually by entering data by keyboard and display, or by remote application.

On the other hand, it has a network connection (5) LAN or Wifi, in such a way that when the premises have more than one entry / exit point, all are synchronized with each other to maintain real control of the number of people who are inside.
