Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stopping rod of a gate apparatus which stopping rod reduces injury on impact to cut down repairing costs. <P>SOLUTION: Usually, a stopping rod rotates with a stopping rod holding unit that is coupled to a stopping rod driving rotating shaft via a supporting shaft and a bearing, thus opens and closes in vertical rotation move. At this time, the stopping rod holding unit supported by the bearing via the supporting shaft is locked with a locking member, which prevents rotation move around the supporting shaft from arising, thus allows the stopping rod to carry out normal gate action. When an impact greater than a given impact is applied to the stopping rod, the stopping rod comes to rotate around the supporting shaft. As a result, a force from the support bearing is applied to the locking member to release the stopping rod holding unit and bearing from their locked state, thus causes the stopping rod holding unit to rotate around the support bearing. This prevents transmission of a large impact to the stopping rod driving rotating shaft. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gate device used for a toll road.

In the past, for example, a vehicle equipped with an ETC device, due to inadequate setting of an ETC card, the gate block of the gate device on the toll road collides with the block bar even if it is blocked at the toll gate, and breaks through as it is. There is no end to the situation.
In the gate device, for example, the end of the blocking rod is held by a blocking rod holding portion, and the blocking rod holding portion is coupled to the rotating shaft for driving the blocking rod and rotated to perform the gate action by moving the blocking rod up and down by rotation. If the blocking rod is destroyed, it is sufficient to replace the blocking rod. However, if the impact at the time of collision is severe, the driving force is applied not only to the blocking rod but also to the rotating shaft for driving the blocking rod that rotates the blocking rod. The drive source to be applied is also adversely affected, and it is sometimes necessary to repair the block for driving the blocking rod and the system of the drive source.

  One of the problems to be solved by the present invention is to reduce damage to the blocking rod when it is hit and to reduce repair costs.

  The invention according to claim 1 for solving the above-described problem is a gate device, which is coupled to a rotating shaft for driving a blocking rod and rotates by rotation of the rotating shaft for driving the blocking rod while holding a terminal end of the blocking rod. A block having a blocking rod holding portion, and a support shaft provided on the blocking rod holding portion so as to be orthogonal to the blocking shaft driving rotation shaft and the blocking rod, and connected to the blocking rod driving rotation shaft. It comprises a bearing portion that rotatably supports the blocking rod holding portion via the support shaft, and a locking member that locks and connects the blocking rod holding portion and the bearing portion.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the gate device according to claim 1, wherein the locking member releases the locking connection between the blocking bar holding portion and the bearing portion by a predetermined impact or more via the bearing portion. The blocking rod holding portion rotates around the support shaft.

  According to the gate device of the first aspect, the blocking bar normally rotates together with the blocking bar holding part coupled to the rotating shaft for driving the blocking bar through the support shaft and the bearing part, and rotates up and down to open and close. At this time, the blocking rod holding portion is supported by the bearing portion via the support shaft, but is locked by the locking member and does not rotate around the support shaft, and can normally perform the gate action.

  According to the gate device of the second aspect, when the blocking rod is subjected to a predetermined impact or more, the blocking rod rotates around the support shaft, and the force from the support receiver is applied to the locking member to hold the blocking rod. It is possible to release the locking connection between the bearing portion and the bearing portion, so that the blocking rod holding portion rotates around the support shaft so that a large impact is not transmitted to the blocking rod driving rotation shaft.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 (a) is an assembled perspective view, FIG. 1 (b) is a front view of the main part, and FIG. 1 (c) is a right side view of the main part. is there. In FIG. 1, 101 is a gate device main body, 102 is a blocking rod driving rotary shaft connected to a drive source (not shown) of the gate device main body 101, 103 is coupled to the blocking rod driving rotary shaft 102, and its surface is the rotating shaft. A coupling plate that rotates in an orthogonal plane, 104 is a bearing portion provided above and below the coupling plate 103, 105 is a blocking rod holding portion, and 106 is provided on each of the upper and lower side surfaces of the blocking rod holding portion 105. 104 is a support shaft supported by 104, 107 is a holding portion side locking hole provided on one of the surfaces on which the support shaft 106 is provided, 108 is a bearing side locking hole, and 109 is near the support shaft 106. A locking member that is arranged so as to be parallel and locks and connects both the holding portion side locking hole 107 and the bearing side locking hole 108, 110 is the support shaft of the blocking rod holding portion 105. 06 to the surface is provided holding rod insertion opening provided in the middle of the side, 111 denotes a blocking rod which is held by inserting end into the retaining rod insertion port 110.
Inside the blocking bar holding part 105, a holding mechanism (not shown) for inserting and holding the end of the blocking bar 111 is provided.
The blocking rod holding portion 105 can rotate around the support shaft 106 when the locking member 109 is not stopped, and the support shaft 106 is orthogonal to the rotation shaft 102 for driving the blocking rod. The blocking rod 111 held by the blocking rod holding portion 105 is connected to the blocking shaft driving rotary shaft 102 when the blocking rod holding portion 105 is stopped by a locking connection such as screwing by the locking member 109. It is orthogonal to the support shaft 106. That is, the position of the holding part side locking hole 107 and the bearing side locking hole 108 is such that the blocking bar 111 supports the rotating shaft 102 for driving the blocking bar when the locking member 109 is fixedly connected. It is set so as to be orthogonal to the axis 106.
The locking member 109 is made of metal or synthetic resin, and has a strength that can be deformed or broken by shearing of the blocking rod holding portion 105 and the bearing portion 104 due to the rotation of the blocking rod 111 around the support shaft 106.

For example, in a toll gate on a toll road, the gate device controls and rotates the blocking rod driving rotary shaft 102 according to the arrival of the vehicle and the ETC mounting state under the control of the control unit, and the blocking rod 111 is moved up and down. Open and close. Since the locking member 109 restrains the blocking rod holding portion 105 and the bearing portion 104 from each other and restricts the rotation of the blocking rod holding portion 105 around the support shaft 106, the blocking rod 111 is the rotation shaft 102 for driving the blocking rod. Rotating motion can be performed. (See Figure 2)
For example, when a vehicle equipped with an ETC device but having insufficient ETC card settings tries to pass through the gate device without knowing it and collides with the blocking rod 111, the force applied to the blocking rod 111 supports the blocking rod 111. Try to turn around 106. This force further gives a rotational force to the blocking rod holding portion 105, and applies a shearing force to the locking member 109 that holds the blocking rod holding portion 105 and the bearing portion 104 together, and when it becomes a predetermined magnitude, It is destroyed (Figure 3). Due to this deformation and breakage, the locking connection between the blocking rod holding portion 105 and the bearing portion 104 is released, and the impact on the blocking rod 111 of the vehicle does not significantly affect the rotating shaft 102 for driving the blocking rod.
