Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a gate device installed in a place where it is necessary to control the entry and exit of bicycles, mopeds, etc., such as a bicycle parking lot.

[Conventional technology]

In areas where people pass through with bicycles (including mopeds), such as bicycle parking lots, the flow of people and bicycles must be regulated; Or,
It may be necessary to limit entry and exit directions to specific directions, or it may be necessary to collect a parking fee to prevent unauthorized parking. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 3, a taller version of the automatic ticket gate already used in conventional railway engines is used as a bicycle gate device. That is, the third
As shown in the figure, pillars 8 are arranged on both sides of the passage,
A door 9 is provided at the top of the column 8, and when the user inserts a card or a fee, the door 9 is controlled by a traffic detection section provided on the column 8, allowing or blocking entry and exit. .

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The gate device described above detects people and bicycles without distinguishing between them, so it is very difficult for the machine to distinguish between the person in front and the person behind, and it is difficult to detect accurately. This inevitably results in a very complicated and expensive mechanism. Another problem is that the door is only provided at the top, but the bottom is wide open, making it easy to be tempted to crawl through the bottom.

The present invention was devised in view of these problems of the conventional technology, and its purpose is to provide an inexpensive and simple structure that can accurately detect people passing by. The purpose of this project is to provide a gate device.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the gate device in the present invention has an automatic entrance/exit machine and a handrail, the automatic entrance/exit machine has a rotating bar, the handrail has a restriction part, and the automatic entrance/exit machine has a rotating bar, the handrail has a restriction part, and The entry device and handrails are installed on both sides of the parallel pedestrian path and bicycle path, sandwiching the two paths, and the restricting portion of the handrail protrudes above the bicycle path. .

[Effect]

When passing through the gate device according to the present invention, the user must get off the bicycle, pass the bicycle over the bicycle path on the handrail side (usually on the right side), and pass through the bicycle path on the automatic entry/exit machine side (usually on the left side). pass through. In this case, a person is detected by a detection unit installed in the automatic entrance/exit machine and can pass by pushing the rotating bar, while a bicycle can pass under the handrail regardless of this detection operation. .

If a user attempts to pass through the bicycle without getting off the bicycle, the rotating bar of the automatic entry/exit machine will prevent the bicycle from passing in the case of a pedestrian path, and the restricting part of the handrail will prevent the bicycle from passing in the case of a bicycle path. Passage is blocked;
In both cases, passage through the gate device is impossible.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are a front view and a perspective view, respectively, of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an automatic entry/exit machine, and a rotating bar 2 consisting of three bars is provided on the side. Reference numeral 3 designates a handrail, the upper part of which is bent to protrude inward to form a restricting part 4, the inner height h of which is slightly larger than the height of the bicycle 5, for example 117 cm. The side of the automatic entrance/exit machine 1 is a passageway 6 for people, and the side of the handrail 3 is a passageway 7 for bicycles.

The user gets off the bicycle on the left side and goes to automatic entry/exit machine 1.
Stand on the right side of , that is, on the pedestrian aisle 6. When coins or cards are inserted into the slot provided in the automatic entry/exit machine 1, the detection section of the automatic entry/exit machine operates, the rotation bar 2 is released, and the user pushes the protruding bar 2 with his or her body. You can pass in the direction of the arrow. In that case, the user should hold the bicycle on the left side of handrail 3.
In other words, if the bicycle is placed on the bicycle path 7 and pushed by hand, the bicycle can pass through without any obstruction because the bicycle is shorter than the restriction part 4 of the handrail 3. When one person passes, the rotary bar 2 rotates and one of them
The bar of the book juts out to the side, once again ready to block passage.

If the user attempts to pass through the bicycle without getting off the bicycle, the bicycle 5, which is long in the front and rear, will hit the rotating bar 2 and be blocked from passing through the pedestrian passageway 6.
When a person passes through the bicycle path 7, the restriction part 4 of the handrail 3 prevents a person from passing through, making it impossible.

Note that the automatic entry/exit machine 1 may be controlled not by coins or cards, but by signals operated by the administrator, or not controlled by coins, cards, or external signals at all, but simply by Of course, it is also possible to simply count the number of people coming in and going out.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the gate device consists of only the rotary bar-type automatic entrance/exit machine that has been used in the past and a handrail installed opposite it, so the structure is simple and can be manufactured at an extremely low cost. is possible,
Moreover, in order to pass through the gate device, the user must get off the bicycle, and the person must be on the side of the automatic entry/exit machine.
Bicycles cannot pass unless they come to the handrail side, so automatic entry/exit machines only need to detect people, and since bicycles are not involved in detection control at all, the detection operation is accurate, and conventional automatic entry/exit machines can be used as is. can do. The gate device of the present invention can greatly contribute to the management of abandoned bicycles around stations, which has recently become a major social problem.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] A bicycle entrance/exit control gate device having an automatic entrance/exit machine 1 and a handrail 3, wherein the automatic entrance/exit machine 1 has a rotating bar 2, and the handrail 3 has a restriction part 4. The automatic entry/exit machine 1 and the handrail 3 are provided on both sides of the parallel passageway 6 for people and the passageway 7 for bicycles so as to sandwich the passageways 6 and 7, and the restrictions of the handrail 3 The entry/exit control gate device for bicycles is characterized in that part 4 protrudes above a passageway 7 for bicycles.
