Description

  The present invention relates to a gate, and more particularly, to a gate of an automatic ticket gate or the like that prevents a passer-by from colliding with a closed passage-preventing door.

  There are automatic ticket gates and security gates as gates. For example, an automatic ticket gate is installed at a ticket gate of a station, and in the automatic ticket gate, a ticket gate is formed in the center by a pair of left and right passage wall portions (cases of the ticket gate body). Passage openings are formed at both ends of the ticket gate passage of the automatic ticket gate. Either the outer side (concourse side) or the inner side (home side) passage opening can be an entrance or an exit depending on the direction of traffic. On the entrance side of the ticket gate, a ticket or magnetic card slot and a non-contact IC card reader / writer touch unit (antenna, etc.) are provided at the end of the passage wall that is normally located on the right side. On the other hand, on the exit side of the ticket gate passage, an end portion of the passage wall portion is provided with a display portion, a discharge portion such as a ticket, and an openable / closable door. The openable / closable door is provided on each of the passage side wall surfaces of the left and right passage wall portions, and has a pair of structures. There are two types of doors that can be opened and closed: normally open and normally closed. Normally, the door is normally open, and when it is judged that the ticket used by the processing judgment unit built in the automatic ticket gate is inappropriate, it operates to close the ticket gate passage. It has the function of restricting and preventing traffic.

  Regarding a conventional automatic ticket gate related to the present invention, as a method for controlling the operation of an automatic opening / closing door provided on the entrance side and the exit side on the inner wall surface of the ticket gate main body, for example, an automatic disclosed in Patent Document 1 is disclosed. The door control system of a ticket gate can be mentioned.

  If it is determined that the ticket used by the passenger on the automatic ticket gate is inappropriate, the door on the exit side will be closed after that, so the current automatic ticket gate will pass through the ticket gate passage. The door closed state is notified to the person by voice guidance (as auditory information) and display guidance (as visual information). However, such guidance alone is not sufficient, and the door in the closed state is not noticed or delayed, and may collide with the door, or the balance may be lost after the collision and the vehicle may fall over. No prior art has been found to solve such problems.

  In view of the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide guidance notification by tactile information in addition to the current visual information and auditory information regarding the closed state of the door, and more reliably inform the passerby of the door closed state. It is to provide a gate of an automatic ticket gate or the like that can reliably eliminate the risk of collision with the vehicle.

  In order to achieve the above object, the gate according to the present invention is configured as follows.

The first gate (corresponding to claim 1) is an automatic opening / closing type passage prevention door provided on the exit side of the gate passage, and the passage prevention door is opened or closed based on the determination of the passage condition. allow or a gate and a control means for controlling the prohibition, notice the door for notifying the front position of the passage blocking doors, in advance the passerby through tactile passer by contacting that traffic blocking door is closed It is comprised so that it may provide.

  In the above gates, when a passerby who is a passenger, such as an automatic ticket gate, tries to pass through the gate passage relatively quickly, it is determined that the ticket is inadequate due to a lack of tolls, etc. For example, a normally-open (normally open) passage blocking door closes, and as a result, a passer may collide. By arranging it, it is possible to give a notice of notice when the notice door touches the leg of the passerby, etc., making it possible to make sure that the notice door is closed, which may cause a collision with the sign. Can be reliably eliminated.

  In the above configuration, the second gate (corresponding to claim 2) is preferably configured so that the warning door is automatically opened and closed by being provided with a mechanism that can be opened and closed and is mounted with an openable and closable mechanism. The opening / closing operation of the warning door is automatically performed together with the opening / closing operation of the traffic blocking door by a control means for controlling the opening / closing operation of the traffic blocking door. In this configuration, the automatic opening / closing notice door is automatically opened and closed so as to be interlocked with the passage blocking door by the control means for controlling the opening / closing operation of the passage blocking door.

  In the above configuration, the third gate (corresponding to claim 3) is preferably configured such that the passage prevention door and the warning door are normally open (normally open), and the warning door is closed. The door is sometimes closed and operates to contact a passerby through the gate passage. In this configuration, the gate passage is normally in an open state, and when the passage prohibition determination is made, the passage blocking gate is rapidly closed, so that the warning door is also closed accordingly. . This makes it possible to give a prior notice based on the sense of touch.

  In the above configuration, the fourth gate (corresponding to claim 4) is preferably configured such that the passage prevention door and the notice door are normally closed (normally closed), and the notice door is closed by the passage prevention door. Both of them are in a closed operation state and in contact with a passerby passing through the gate passage.

  In the above configuration, the fifth gate (corresponding to claim 5) is preferably characterized in that the passage blocking force of the notice door is set to be weaker than the passage blocking force of the passage blocking door.

  In the above configuration, the sixth gate (corresponding to claim 6) is preferably characterized in that the gate is an automatic ticket gate and the gate passage is a ticket gate.

  According to the present invention, in an automatic ticket gate or the like equipped with a passage blocking door that automatically opens or closes on the exit side of a ticket gate passage or the like based on the determination of a traffic condition, and blocks or allows a passer-by. When the door is in a closed state, a notice door is provided to notify the passerby of the closed state of the passage prevention door by tactile sense at the position on the gate passage in front of the passage prevention door. The passerby can be surely noticed that the blocking door is closed, and the risk of a passerby's collision with the blocking door can be reliably eliminated. The above effects of the present invention can be generally exhibited in a gate having a passage prevention door similar to that of an automatic ticket gate.

  Reference numerals 24 and 25 denote doors for opening and closing the ticket gate passage 12. Of these doors 24, 25, the door 24 is provided on the exit side of the ticket gate passage 12, and the door 25 is provided on the entrance side thereof. The door 24 is a door that is normally open (normally open), and is closed when it is determined that a boarding ticket or the like is inappropriate for a passerby who passes in the direction of the arrow 14 (NG determination). It becomes a traffic blocking door to block traffic. The door 25 is a door that is closed when the ticket gate body 10 stops operating. Further, when the ticket gate main body 10 is a bidirectional type, the door 25 functions as an exit side door when the direction of the ticket gate 12 is opposite to the direction of the arrow 14. The opening and closing operations of the doors 24 and 25 are driven and controlled by a control unit 26 that controls the ticket gate main body 10 in an integrated manner. The other door (not shown in FIG. 1) is also provided with the same door at a position corresponding to the doors 24 and 25 of the housing 11. The other two corresponding doors are indicated by the same reference numerals 24 and 25 in FIG.

  In the case 11 of the ticket gate main body 10, an automatic opening / closing notice door 31 is further provided on the inner wall surface of the case 11 corresponding to the substantially central position of the ticket gate passage 12. The notice door 31 is arranged on the front side of the existing door 24 for preventing passage provided on the exit side for a passerby who moves in the direction of the arrow 14 in the direction of the arrow 14 to pass through the ticket gate main body 10. Has been. The notice door 31 is in a state of being housed in a door housing recess formed on the inner wall surface of the housing 11 in FIG. In this state, the notice door 31 is open and the ticket gate passage 12 is open. When the closing signal is received from the control unit, the driving device 31a is rotated to the side of the ticket gate passage 12 based on the driving operation of the driving device 31a and protrudes to close the ticket gate passage 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the notice door 31 is preferably provided in the same shape and configuration so as to be paired with the inner wall surface of the other housing 11 that is disposed to face the housing 11. It is arranged in front of the door 24 of the other housing 11. The pair of left and right notice doors 31 is an automatic opening / closing type door similar to the existing pair of left and right doors 24 for blocking passage, and the opening / closing operation of the pair is controlled by the control unit 26. As described above, when it is determined that the boarding ticket or the like is inappropriate, the pair of doors 24 are closed to block the passage of the passerby. At that time, the pair of notice doors 31 are also closed at the same time to the passerby. By making contact with the body, it is notified in advance that the door 24 has been closed through the sense of touch of the passerby. The fact that the door 24 has been closed has been conventionally provided with display guidance (visual notification) by the display unit 18 and voice guidance (auditory notification) by the speaker 19. Notify passers by stimuli. The opening / closing operation of the automatic opening / closing notice door is desirably interlocked with the existing door 24 for preventing passage of traffic, but it is not necessarily required to be interlocked as long as the notice notification function can be realized. In addition, since the purpose of the notice door 31 is to notify the notice that the passage prevention door 24 provided on the exit side is closed, a material having a relatively weak material strength is used. Further, compared with the passage blocking force of the door 24, the passage blocking force of the notice door 31 is set to be relatively weak.

  A system configuration of a control system in the ticket gate main body 10 will be described with reference to FIG. The control unit 26 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 32 and a memory 33. The memory 33 has a ROM 34 and a RAM 35.

The central processing unit 32 includes a card handler 37 that processes a ticket taken from the insertion slot 15 via the I / O unit 36, and a door drive mechanism 38 that drives and controls the pair of left and right doors 24 (or 25). A door driving mechanism 39 for driving and controlling the pair of left and right notice doors 31; a display driving unit 40 for driving and controlling the display unit 18; a voice driving unit 41 for driving and controlling the speaker 19; and sensors for the human detection sensors 22 and 23 An amplifier 42 and a reader / writer 44 for reading data recorded on the non-contact ticket 13 and writing new data via the antenna 43 in the touch unit 16 are connected.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the control operation of the existing door 24 for preventing traffic and the warning door 31 in the ticket gate main body 10 having the above-described configuration will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the door 24 for preventing passage and the notice door 31 are normally opened (normally open). At the initial stage, the door 24 and the notice door 31 are in an open state. In this control operation, it is determined whether or not the boarding ticket has been used in the first determination step S11. When it is determined in the determination step S11 that the ticket is not used (in the case of NO), it is determined whether or not a human has entered the ticket gate passage 12 of the ticket gate body 10 (determination step S13). When the determination is NO in determination step S13, the process returns to determination step S11. Conversely, when the determination is YES, the process proceeds to the next process step S14, and process step 14 is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the boarding ticket is used in the determination step S11 (in the case of YES), the determination of the boarding ticket (determination of appropriateness or inappropriateness) is performed in the next determination step S12. When it is determined in the determination step S12 that the boarding ticket is appropriate (in the case of YES), the passage is determined to be appropriate, and the processing is ended, and the door 24 and the notice door 31 are left open. When it is determined in the determination step S12 that the boarding ticket is inappropriate (in the case of NO), the next processing step S14 is executed. In processing step S14, the existing pair of doors 24 for preventing passage provided at the exit are closed, and at the same time, the pair of notice doors 31 existing before the installation position of the door 24 are also closed. As described above, when trying to pass through the ticket gate passage 12 without using a ticket, or when trying to pass through the ticket gate passage 12 using an improper ticket, the ticket gate body 10 is blocked. The pair of doors 24 are closed, and at that time, the pair of notice doors 31 are also closed. Thus, when the door 24 is closed, the notice door 31 in front of the door 24 is closed, so that the notice of the notice can be given in advance through the sense of touch of the passerby that the door 24 is closed.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the door 24 for preventing passage and the warning door 31 are normally closed (normally closed). At the initial stage, the door 24 and the notice door 31 are closed. In this control operation, it is determined whether or not the boarding ticket has been used in the first determination step S21. When it is determined in the determination step S21 that the ticket is not used (in the case of NO), it is determined whether or not a human has entered the ticket gate passage 12 of the ticket gate body 10 (determination step S23). When the determination is NO in determination step S23, the process returns to determination step S21, whereas when the determination is YES, the process ends with the door 24 and the notice door 31 being closed. On the other hand, when it is determined in the determination step S21 that the ticket is being used (in the case of YES), the determination of the ticket (determination of appropriateness or inappropriateness) is performed in the next determination step S22. When it is determined in the determination step S22 that the boarding ticket is not appropriate (in the case of NO), the ticket is illegally used, so that the door 24 and the notice door 31 are closed and the process ends. When it is determined in the determination step S22 that the boarding ticket is appropriate (in the case of YES), the processing step S24 is executed. In the process step S24, the existing pair of doors 24 for preventing passage in the closed state are opened, and at the same time, the pair of notice doors 31 existing in front are opened. As described above, when the door 24 is closed, the notice door in front of the door 24 is also kept closed so that the notice of the door 24 being closed can be notified in advance by touch.

  In the drive for opening / closing the warning door 31 described above, the door drive mechanism 40 uses a motor or the like as an actuator (drive device 31a). As a driving method, it is desirable that the notification door 31 is opened by the external force while having a holding force when an external force is applied to the notification door 31 by the contact of a passerby. In addition, it is possible to adopt a system in which the notice door 31 opens without holding force when an external force exceeding a certain level is applied to the notice door 31.

  Next, a modified example of the door shape of the notice door 31 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 shows five examples (A) to (E), and is a front view of the notice door in a closed state as viewed from the entrance side of the ticket gate body 10. FIG. 6A shows a basic type, and the pair of left and right notice doors 31 is inherently weak in function of blocking passage and is provided so as to be in contact with a part of the passer's body. When the pair of left and right notice doors 31 are in a closed state, the gap between them is formed to be wide. A notice door 31-1 shown in FIG. 6B is based on the basic type of notice door 31 and has a shorter vertical width. The notice door 31-2 shown in FIG. 6C is formed of a plurality of rod-like members arranged in the vertical direction, and each of the plurality of rod-like members is configured to be independently movable. . The notice door 31-3 shown in FIG. 6D has a shape in which the lengths in the horizontal direction are different between the left and right notice doors. Furthermore, the notice door 31-4 shown in (E) of FIG. 6 is configured such that, for example, only the left notice door is provided and the right notice door is eliminated. The various types of notice doors described above can be appropriately combined.

  In the above embodiment, the example of a typical automatic ticket gate has been described. However, the notice door 31 which is a characteristic configuration of the present invention is generally used for a gate having a similar door for preventing passage on the exit side. Can be applied to.

  The configurations, shapes, sizes, and arrangement relationships described in the above embodiments are merely schematically shown to the extent that the present invention can be understood and implemented. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the technical idea shown in the claims.

  The gate according to the present invention provides a warning door that is closed when a pair of passage-preventing doors provided on the exit side are in a closed state. By giving a notice of advance notice, it is used to prevent collisions with the door for blocking traffic.
