FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a level crossing blocking device according to the present invention. FIG. 3 is a front view of a crossing blocking device according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a front view showing a blocking cane attached to a rotary driving machine whose front portion is bent downward, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the front part of the barrier can be grounded to the ground and bent horizontally. FIG. 5 shows the front part of the barrier of the crossing barrier of the present invention bent horizontally at a predetermined height from the ground. It is a perspective view which shows a state.

  1 to FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a shut-off can that cuts off the railroad crossing, and reference numeral 2 denotes a rotary drive machine that rotates the shut-off can 1 in a lowering direction or a raising direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the blocking can 1 is divided into two via a hinge (not shown) attached to a position about half the total length of the blocking can 1. In addition, the division | segmentation location of the breaking can 1 is not limited to the position of the half length of the full length of the breaking can 1. The rear part 1a of the shut-off can 1 is attached to the rotation drive unit 2, and the front part 1b of the shut-off can 1 can be bent upward with respect to the rear part 1a.

  The rotation drive unit 2 slightly rotates the blocking cane 1 in the downward direction in accordance with the operation command for the stay avoidance function issued to the rotation drive unit 2 to ground the front portion 1b of the blocking cane 1 to the ground, Bend horizontally.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the passerby can easily and surely leave the railroad crossing in a short time across the front portion 1 b of the blocking can 1 that is bent horizontally.

  The operation command for the stay avoidance function issued to the rotation drive unit 2 is generated by an impact force applied by the passerby to the blocking cane 1, for example, by manually pushing the blocking cane 1 downward a plurality of times.

  As another method, the operation command may be issued from a passer-by detector (not shown) installed at the railroad crossing, or both the manual operation and the passer-by detector may be used in combination.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the first embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when a railroad crossing alarm sounds, the barrier 1 is lowered and the railroad crossing is interrupted. At this time, if a passerby stays in the railroad crossing, the passerby manually applies the impact force to the barrier 1 by pushing the barrier 1 1 a plurality of times, for example, downward. This impact force is sent to the rotary drive machine 2 as an operation command for the stay avoidance function. The rotation driving device 2 slightly rotates the shut-off can 1 in the lowering direction in accordance with this operation command.

  As a result, the front portion 1b of the shut-off can 1 is grounded and bent horizontally. A passerby can easily and reliably leave the railroad crossing in a short time across the front portion 1b of the blocking can 1 that is bent horizontally.

  After confirming the safety within the railroad crossing, the rotary driving machine 2 is driven to return to the state where the blocking can 1 is lowered.

  When the train passes the railroad crossing, a command to lift the crossing rail 1 and release the crossing of the railroad crossing is sent to the rotary drive 2.

  On the other hand, if an operation command for the stay avoidance function is not sent to the rotary drive unit 2, it is determined whether or not the crossing of the crossing can be canceled by raising the crossing can 1 and canceling the crossing of the crossing. If this is acceptable, the barrier 1 is lifted to cancel the railroad crossing barrier. If it is not necessary to release the crossing of the level crossing, the control unit waits until an operation command for the stay avoidance function is sent to the rotary drive unit 2.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the second embodiment of the present invention.

  In this method, the operation command of the stay avoidance function sent to the rotation drive machine 2 is replaced with manual and a detection signal from a passer-by detector installed at the level crossing.

  According to this method, even if the passerby does not manually apply an impact force to the barrier 1, if the passerby stays in the railroad crossing, the passerby immediately and automatically avoids staying in the rotary drive unit 2. A function activation command is issued.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the third embodiment of the present invention.

  This method is a case where both a manual operation and a passer-by detector are used in combination, and an operation command for the stay avoidance function is more reliably issued to the rotational drive unit 2.

  The above is a case where the front part 1b of the barrier can 1 is bent horizontally by being grounded to the ground. As shown in FIG. 3, the front part 1b of the barrier can 1 is hinged (not shown). The turning drive 2 can slightly bend in the upward direction in accordance with the operation command so that the front part 1b of the shut-off can 1 is moved at a predetermined height position from the ground. It may be bent horizontally.

  According to this method, as shown in FIG. 5, a passerby can easily and reliably exit from the crossing in a short time by diving under the front portion 1 b of the blocking can 1 that is bent horizontally.

  As described above, according to the present invention, if the shielding can 1 whose front portion 1b is bent upward is slightly rotated in the downward direction, the front portion 1b of the shielding can 1 is brought into contact with the ground. Since it bends horizontally, a passerby can easily and reliably exit from the railroad crossing in a short time across the front portion 1b of the barrier 1 bent horizontally.

  Further, according to the present invention, if the blocking can 1 whose front portion 1b bends downward is rotated slightly in the upward direction, the front portion 1b of the blocking can 1 is bent horizontally at a predetermined height from the ground. Therefore, the passerby can easily and surely exit from the crossing in a short time by diving under the front portion 1b of the barrier 1 bent horizontally.

  In addition, according to the present invention, by increasing the length of the front portion 1b of the barrier 1, for example, by making it half the total length of the barrier 1, a plurality of passers-by can be removed from the level crossing at the same time. It becomes possible to leave.

  In addition, according to the present invention, for example, by setting the length of the front portion 1b of the barrier can 1 to be half the total length of the barrier 1, the outside of the level crossing of a passerby riding a car or bicycle can be obtained. You can leave.

  Further, according to the present invention, the barrier can 1 only needs to have a structure that can be bent, so that the cost of the barrier can 1 is low.

  In addition, according to the present invention, an operation command for the stay avoidance function issued to the rotation driving machine 2 is applied to the impact force applied by the passerby to the barrier 1, for example, the passerby manually lowers the barrierer 1 several times. If the impact force is generated by pressing, the passerby immediately issues an operation command for the stay avoidance function to the rotational drive unit 2.

  In addition, according to the present invention, when a passerby stays in the crossing by issuing an operation command of the stay avoidance function issued to the rotary drive 2 from a passer detector installed in the crossing, immediately, and An operation command for the stay avoidance function is automatically issued to the rotational drive unit 2.
