Description

Barrier station for vehicles

The invention relates to a barrier station for vehicles, in particular two-wheeled vehicles, with at least one barrier rope for looping around and securing the vehicle and with a housing, with a first end of the barrier rope being connected to at least one roller for rolling up the barrier rope in the housing and the housing having a locking unit and the barrier cable, preferably in the area of the second end, has a coupling section which can be connected to the locking unit.

Such a barrier station is disclosed in US 2011/209508 A1, which has a flexible barrier rope for wrapping around the bicycle, scooter, other vehicle or object. After looping and/or threading, one end of the barrier rope is fixed in a station lock. In this way, many differently constructed and differently sized vehicles or other objects such as backpacks can be protected against unauthorized removal and theft. For this purpose, the barrier rope is designed to be particularly long so that it can also be used with objects of different sizes and designs. A disadvantage, however, is that the locked object can be movable even after locking due to the slack rope, which was pulled out of the station too much. The fixing can also be insufficient if the barrier rope is too long, the object is only wrapped around and the barrier rope is not passed through openings. This leads to reduced security.

The task is therefore to provide a versatile but nevertheless secure barrier station.

According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the rotation of the roller is blocked by at least one pawl in a first direction of rotation.

Locking the pulley in one direction of rotation prevents the locking rope from being pulled out further when the object or vehicle is already secured. This means that there is only as much barrier rope outside the barrier station as is necessary for the user to wrap around the vehicle. An unauthorized third party cannot manipulate the object or even detach it from the entanglement by pulling more barrier rope out of the station.

It is preferably provided that the pawl blocks the rotation of the roller in a fixed position in the first direction of rotation and in a positioning position does not block. While an object such as a vehicle is being placed and locked at the locking station, the pawl can assume the docking position in which the roller is preferably free to rotate. The user can thus pull the barrier rope out of the barrier station, as a result of which the roller can preferably be rotated in the first direction of rotation and makes the barrier rope available. When the object is successfully secured, the pawl can be placed in the locked position, preventing further extension of the cordon.

The pawl can preferably be actuated magnetically. In other words, the pawl is magnetically moveable between the locked position and the applied position.

The first rotational position is preferably that direction of rotation in which the barrier cable is unwound from the roll.

The pawl preferably engages a part of the reel or a part fixed to the reel and can thus prevent rotation of the reel in one direction of rotation. The roller has at least one receiving area, which extends around the axis of rotation and is used to roll up the barrier cable. The roller may further include a portion engageable by the pawl to lock the first direction of rotation. In the simplest case, the roller has a body on which both the receiving area and, alongside it along the axis of rotation, at least one such part or area for at least one locking pawl are provided. Alternatively, these parts of the roller can also be spatially separated from one another and connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner—directly or indirectly via a transmission.

It can be provided that a rotation in the second direction of rotation, ie in the direction opposite to the first direction of rotation, is possible both in the application position and in the fixed position.

The locking unit fixes the coupling section in the connected position, so that it can only be released by opening the locking unit. Preferably, the locking unit can only be opened by an authorized user, while it cannot be opened operationally and/or non-destructively by unauthorized users. Authorized users can either be the user who uses the locking station to lock an object--that is, usually connects the coupling section to the locking unit himself--and/or a person authorized by this user. The authorization can be given, for example, by handing over a key - for example a physical key or in the form of a password or as an authorization that can be transmitted by a program to an electronic terminal - be passed from user to person. Provision can also be made for personnel to be authorized users for the operation, maintenance and repair of the barrier stations, either continuously or under special conditions.

It is particularly advantageous if the pawl can be released so that the rotation of the roller is no longer blocked in the first direction of rotation and the pawl can preferably be released magnetically. In this way, as described above, the pawl can be brought into a positioning position, through which it is possible to pull out the barrier cable from the barrier station.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the roller has at least one guide surface for guiding the pawl about an axis of rotation of the roller and the guide surface has at least one first flank pointing in the second direction of rotation and a second flank, which is steeper than the first flank and points in a first direction of rotation has and that the pawl is biased towards the guide surface. In this way, rotation in the first direction of rotation is prevented in a simple manner, while it remains possible in the second direction of rotation when the pawl is in the fixed position described.

In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the roller has a gear wheel with at least one tooth, that at least one guide surface is arranged on the gear wheel and at least one first flank is arranged on the tooth, and that the pawl engages the gear wheel in at least one rotational position of the roller intervenes. A large number of teeth can be arranged around the circumference of the gear wheel.

Provision can furthermore be made for the pawl to have at least one sliding surface which is in contact with the guide surface in at least one rotational position and which is inclined in relation to the first flank and points in the first direction of rotation. The tooth or the teeth of the gear wheel can thus be designed symmetrically and have first and second flanks with the same angular amounts.

In order to prevent the barrier rope from escaping unintentionally and/or to enable excess barrier rope to be automatically pulled in, provision can be made for the roller to be pretensioned in a second direction of rotation, preferably by means of at least one spiral spring. A tighter entanglement of the object can also be achieved in this way, since after connection to the locking unit has taken place the barrier cable is pulled in again until the barrier cable is taut. This also prevents excess cordoning off from being left outside the cordoning off station when the item is finished is fixed. It can be provided that the roller is not prestressed in the application position and/or that the roller is only prestressed in the fixed position. This makes it easier for the user to pull out the barrier cable while it is being attached to the object.

It is preferably provided that the spring is prestressed in a starting position of the barrier cable, in which the barrier cable is rolled up furthest in the operating position. In this way, the force that you have to exert to roll off and increases with further rolling off can be made a little flatter. This simplifies operation.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the spring is dampened, which further improves operation. In this case, the damping can be arranged, for example, directly on the spring, the roller and/or the barrier cable.

Provision can also be made for the roller to be pretensioned in the first direction of rotation, preferably via at least one spiral spring.

It can further be provided for support that the roller can be rotated by means of at least one motor, preferably at least one electric motor. It can be provided, for example, that the roller can be rotated by the motor in the second direction of rotation, in particular after the coupling section has been fixed by the locking unit, excess shut-off rope can be drawn in automatically. Alternatively or additionally, it can also be provided that the roller can be rotated in the first direction of rotation by the motor, which can make it easier for the user to pull it out while the barrier rope is being attached to the vehicle or other object. This makes sense in particular if the roller is prestressed in the direction of the second direction of rotation.

In order to make unauthorized manipulation of the barrier cable even more difficult, it can be provided that the rotational position of the roller can be fixed in at least one position by at least one locking pin in at least the second direction of rotation and that the locking pin can preferably be actuated magnetically.

It is preferably provided that the locking unit has at least one lock for fixing the coupling section and the locking unit can preferably be at least partially electrically connected to the coupling unit. The lock is preferably a bolt bolt lock with at least one bolt, which is movable to close the lock and thus fix the coupling section and fixes the coupling section in the closed state. At least part of the locking unit is preferably connected to at least one electrically conductive part of the barrier cable in the connected state. This enables electronic status monitoring of the barrier rope and unauthorized manipulation or cutting of the barrier rope can be monitored.

It is also advantageous if the barrier cable has at least one electrical line which extends along the barrier cable and is preferably insulated from an outside of the barrier cable.

It is particularly advantageous if the barrier station has at least one access authorization unit which is electrically connected to the barrier cable in the region of the first end and to the locking unit. Alternatively, the access authorization unit can also be connected to the barrier rope in the area of the first end and also at least when the barrier rope is in a connected state with a locking unit in the area of the second end. Electrical signals can thus be passed through the barrier cable and during the connection of the coupling section to the locking unit this connection and the condition of the barrier cable can be monitored.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the barrier station has at least two barrier ropes, which are each connected to a roller and that the rollers can preferably be rotated independently of one another and that the rollers are preferably separated from one another by at least one partition. This means that each barrier station can be used independently for at least two vehicles or other objects. The partition wall can provide mechanical stabilization and support for the rollers and prevent the barrier ropes from getting tangled or interfering with one another.

It is particularly advantageous if the rollers are arranged next to one another, preferably coaxially, along a width axis of the shut-off station. This achieves a space-saving design in which the shut-off station can be designed to be as small as possible.

It is particularly advantageous if a first roller is arranged on a first side of the housing, with the axis of rotation of the first roller preferably being perpendicular to the first side of the housing, and that a first shut-off cable, which is connected to the first roller, is on a second side of the housing, opposite the first side of the housing, from the Housing is performed. An opening is preferably provided for this purpose on the second side of the housing. This prevents the cordoning off from having to be bent in a radius that is too tight to be led out of the cordoning station, even if the cordoning station is narrow. Since barrier ropes are preferably particularly robust and resistant to unauthorized manipulation such as pinching, sawing or cutting through, they can have increased flexural rigidity and can only be bent in larger radii. This is so annoying but not, because the execution is possible without any problems and a small version with a stable barrier rope is achieved.

In order to enable flexible and simple guidance of the barrier rope through the housing, it can be provided that the first barrier rope is guided over at least one guide roller from the first roller to the second side of the housing.

It is preferably provided that a second pulley is arranged along a second side of the housing, the axis of rotation of the second pulley preferably being normal to the first side of the housing, and that a second barrier cable, which is connected to the second pulley, extends from a first side of the housing opposite the second side of the housing the housing is guided. This means that two barrier ropes can be easily routed out of the housing if the housing is particularly narrow.

In this sense, it is also advantageous if the second shut-off cable is guided over at least one guide pulley from the second pulley on the first side of the housing.

In order to prevent the barrier station from being manipulated by unauthorized persons, it is advantageous if at least one barrier cable is guided out of the housing via at least one outlet opening in the housing.

In order to achieve a stable but nevertheless flexible barrier cable, it can be provided that the barrier cable preferably comprises a steel cable and at least one sheath made of aramid fibers.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the barrier station can be operated electronically, preferably via portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, smartphones, tablets and the like. The barrier station may be permanently or temporarily connected or connectable to a network for exchanging information, such as the Internet.

The barrier station can preferably be operated via an app on an electronic terminal device. A place at the barrier station can be booked via the app and the barrier station can preferably also be controlled. For example, upon arrival at the barrier station, the pawl of a roller or all pawls of this roller can be brought into a docking position and a bicycle can be docked, for example, and finally the coupling section can be connected to the locking device. A command via the app or an interface of the barrier station can be used to signal that the application is complete, which brings the pawl or pawls into the fixed position. This can also take place automatically and/or after a certain time has elapsed. When returning to the barrier station, the connection between the coupling section and Locking device can be released again through the app or the interface and the bike can be used again.

The barrier station can have at least one identification device for identifying a user. This can include, for example, a biometric identification device, in particular: a camera, fingerprint sensor, a visual field recognition device and/or an eye recognition device. It can be provided that the shut-off station is connected or can be connected to a database on which data from authorized users, ie users and maintenance personnel, and their authorizations are stored. This database can be arranged or stored locally in the barrier station and/or outside of the barrier station. For example, there can be a central database for several barrier stations.

The housing of the shut-off station is preferably permanently connected to the ground or underground in order to prevent unauthorized dismantling.

The barrier station can have various sensors to monitor the status of the barrier station or its components or to recognize a user. For example, at least one cable pull-out length sensor and/or end position sensor can be provided for detecting at least one position of the barrier cable, in particular for detecting the maximum pull-out position and the complete roll-up position. Position sensors can also be provided for the roller, for example Hall sensors.

Sensors for detecting and/or preventing unauthorized manipulation can also be provided, for example a temperature sensor or a gas sensor. In this case, it can also be provided that alarm devices for outputting an alarm in the event of unauthorized manipulation, such as an optical or acoustic output unit, for example a horn, are provided.

The barrier station can be fixed to the ground or can be removed from the ground - preferably only by authorized personnel. In the second case, it is advantageous if the barrier station has an energy store such as one or more batteries and preferably sensors for identifying the location.

The barrier station can have at least one communication module for the preferably wireless connection to other barrier stations and/or a control center. A few more preferred features are presented below, which can be provided individually or in combination in preferred embodiments: a) GPS sensor: for local monitoring of the station if it is a mobile station in the course of a short-term station set up. b) Telecommunications modules: Modules for clear key identification and connection to a data processing center. This can send a unique identification code to the custody station, which confirms it. c) Biometric identification of the user and maintenance staff - for example via camera, fingerprint, visual field recognition, eye (iris) recognition, etc. d) INTERNAL for the technology:

End position sensor for the rope extension and rope return (end position) rope extension - length measurement via optical sensors;

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the non-limiting embodiment of the invention shown in the figures. Show it:

Figure 3 is a side view of the invention, taken normal to the view of Figure 2, with the housing partially removed;

Figure 4 shows an enlarged detail of Figure 2;

5 shows a section through a coupling section and a locking device in one embodiment.

In Fig. 1 it can be seen how a vehicle designed as a bicycle 1 is locked and secured at a barrier station according to the invention. A barrier rope 2 is wound and passed around the bicycle 1 and through its openings in the frame, saddle and wheels, and the second end 4 of the barrier rope 2, on which a coupling portion 5 is arranged, is inserted into a locking unit 6 on a housing 3 of the barrier station and connected to her. The excess barrier rope 2 is pulled back into the barrier station and tightly fixes the bicycle 1 to the barrier station. This represents, for example, a situation in which a pawl is in a locking position and the locking device is locked. The bike is then locked and can only be removed from the locking station by an authorized user.

The internal structure of the shut-off station is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, which is why the respective frontal parts of the housing 3 are not shown in the figures, with the exception of a small part in FIG. 2, for a better view. The housing 3 is designed as a flat column, which has a wider first housing side 6 and a second housing side 7 and two narrower flank sides 8 . A partition wall 9 is arranged between the first and second housing sides 6, 7, which extends parallel to these housing sides 6, 7 and divides the majority of the interior space into two preferably essentially equal-sized areas. A roller 11 , 12 is arranged on each side of the partition wall 9 , with a first roller 11 being arranged between the partition wall 9 and the first housing side 6 and a second roller 12 being arranged between the partition wall 9 and the second housing side 7 . Both rollers 11, 12 are parallel to the housing sides 6, 7, whose axes of rotation D, which are coaxial, are therefore transverse to the housing sides 6, 7. Both rollers 11, 12 are of the same design, for a better view the second roller 12 is only partially shown. Each roller 11, 12 has a receiving area 13 in the form of a spindle 10, on which a barrier cable 2 can be wound up and stored. The axis of rotation D is parallel to the width axis B of the shut-off device. The rollers 11, 12 also each have a gear wheel 14 on the sides of the rollers 11, 12 facing the partition wall 9, each gear wheel 14 being rotationally connected to the respective roller 11, 12 via common shafts on which they are mounted. The rollers 11, 12 can be rotated independently of one another.

Each of the gears 14 has teeth 15 with a guide surface 38 with a first flank 16 and a second flank 17, the two flanks 16,

17 have the same steepness with different signs in relation to the circumference. A pawl 18 engages in the teeth 15 of each gear wheel 14, which pawl extends radially from the respective gear wheel 14 and in the plane of the respective gear wheel 14 and has a sliding surface 19 in the direction of a first direction of rotation 21, which is inclined in relation to the radius. For better understanding, only one pawl 18 and one gear 14 are shown, which will now be described in more detail. The second pawl and gear wheel can be designed in the same way, preferably rotated about the vertical extent of the partition. In other words, the first direction of rotation 21 of the first gear wheel 14 preferably corresponds to the second direction of rotation of the second gear wheel. The pawl

18 has, on the side opposite the sliding surface 19 and pointing to a second direction of rotation 22 , a blocking surface 37 which is essentially parallel to the radius of the gear wheel 14 and normal to the circumference of the gear wheel 14 . The shown pawl 18 is shown in a fixed position in which it projects between the teeth 15 . The pawl 18 is biased in this position and is pressed in the direction of the gear 14. If the gear wheel 14 is rotated in the first direction of rotation 21, the blocking surface 37 contacts the second flank 17 of a tooth 15 and prevents further rotation of the roller 11. Since the blocking surface 37 is essentially normal to the circumference of the gear wheel 14 and essentially parallel to the second edge 17 is, the pushing back of the pawl 18 is prevented against their bias.

If the roller 11 and thus the gear wheel 14 rotate in the second direction of rotation 22 , the sliding surface 19 rests against the first flank 17 . Due to its oblique orientation to the first flank 17 in the direction of the roller 11, the pawl 18 is pressed out of the gap between the gear wheels against its pretension and enables the further rotation of the roller 11 in this direction of rotation. After passing the second flank 17 of the tooth 15, the pawl 18 is pressed back into the space between the passed tooth and the next tooth by its preload.

In addition to the pawl 18, a locking pin 20 is provided which, like the pawl 18, can be brought magnetically into a contact position or a fixed position. The locking pin 20 is constructed like the pawl 18, but mirror-inverted along the circumference of the gear 14, so its sliding surface shows the second flank. She is shown in the locked position. It thus acts like the pawl 18, but it prevents rotation in the second direction of rotation 22. Alternatively, the locking pin 20 can also have no sliding surface, but two locking surfaces on both sides facing the directions of rotation 21, 22, which are essentially parallel to the two flanks 16.17 standing.

A detail from FIG. 2 is shown enlarged in FIG. 4 for better illustration. Both the locking pin 20 and the pawl 18 are arranged to be movable along a movement axis A, which is essentially radial to the roller 11 . On the opposite side of the gear 14, a pull magnet 26 is arranged for the parts, whereby the pawl 18 and locking pin 20 are movable independently. If one of the pulling magnets 26 is electrically activated, the locking pawl 18 or locking pin 20 associated with this pulling magnet 26 is moved away from the toothed wheel 14 along the movement axis A into the contact position. Upon deactivation or alternatively upon activation of the pull magnet 26 with the opposite polarity, the locking pawl 18 or the locking pin 20 is returned to the fixed position.

A barrier rope 2 is wound on the spindle 10 of the pulley 11 with a first end connected to the spindle 10 and the barrier rope 2 substantially is guided vertically upwards in the direction of a guide roller 23. A side part of the spindle 10 is designed as a gear wheel 14 . For this purpose, a sleeve, preferably made of aluminum, is arranged at the first end and can be arranged in a receiving opening provided for this purpose in the roller 11, preferably on the drum of the roller 11 for the barrier cable 2. The guide roller 23 guides the barrier cable 2 out of the housing 3 via a discharge opening 24 on the second side 7 of the housing, where the second end of the barrier cable 2 hangs out.

A coupling section 5 is provided at the second end. If this barrier rope 2 of the barrier station is not in use, the second end preferably hangs out of the housing, while the remaining part of the barrier rope 2 remains in the housing 3 .

A small part of the first housing side 6 is shown in FIG. 2 for better understanding. Here, the exit opening 24 for the second barrier rope (not shown) is visible, through which the second end of the second barrier rope is passed. A locking device 25 is arranged directly next to the ejection opening 24, into which the coupling section 5 can be inserted in order to be connected to it. For this purpose, the coupling section 5 is, for example, cylindrical and has one or more indentations or grooves on the casing, into which the bolts of the locking device 25 can engage in order to produce a firm connection.

On the second side of the housing 7, the same arrangement is provided for the first barrier cable.

A schematic section through a locking unit 25 and a coupling section 5 is shown in FIG. 5 . It can be seen here that the coupling section 5 has a cylindrical base body 27 which can be arranged as a sleeve at the second end of the barrier cable 2 . On its jacket, at a distance from the end facing away from the shut-off cable 2 , it has a notch 36 encompassing the circumference.

The locking unit 25 has a lock with an outer part 29 and an inner part 30 arranged in a recess of the outer part 29 . The inner part 30 has a receiving opening for receiving the coupling section 5 . The outer part 29 is prestressed in relation to the inner part 30 and the housing 3 in the direction of the interior of the housing 3 via a spring 33 and has three embedded bolt elements 34 in its jacket, which are designed as balls and are connected to the outer part 29 via openings in the inner part 30 and the receiving opening communicate. In the figure, the outer part 29 is in a locked NEN position to see in which the bolt elements 34 are in a region of the recess in which they are pressed by the outer part 29 in the direction of the receiving opening. In order to connect the coupling section 5 to the locking unit 25 , the inner part 30 is pushed in the direction of the outer area, so that the bolt elements 34 are at the level of a radial recess 35 in the outer part 29 . This radial recess 35 has a larger diameter than the receiving opening in the area on which the bolt elements 34 rest in the closed position. If the coupling section 5 is now inserted into the receiving opening, the bolt elements are pressed radially outwards into the radial recesses 35 and allow the coupling section 5 to slide in. At the end of the insertion movement, the outer part 29 moves with the coupling section 5 towards the interior of the housing 3 and towards the closed position. As a result, the bolt elements 34 are pressed into a radial notch 36 in the base body 27 of the coupling section 5 and further movements of the coupling section 5 relative to the inner part 30 are prevented. The outer part 29 can be moved back and forth by an electromagnetic guide element which is preferably arranged on the side of the inner part 30 which is remote from the housing.

Inner part 30 is electrically connected to housing 3 , preferably via outer part 35 . Furthermore, the inner part 30 is electrically connected to at least a part of the coupling section 5 in the closed position. This can be achieved by the inner part, outer part and coupling section being produced at least partially, preferably entirely, from an electrically conductive metal and the outer part 30 being electrically connected to the housing 3 . The housing 3 is preferably grounded. Alternatively, the locking device 25 can also be grounded directly.

The barrier cable 2 preferably has a core made of a galvanized steel cable, particularly preferably of 6 strands, and very particularly preferably of 30 to 40 strands or, for example, 37 strands. The core preferably has a plastic core. The core is encased in a braiding made of PES (polyethersulfone), which electrically insulates the core from the outside of the barrier rope 2 . The core thus forms an electrical line. An access authorization unit is preferably electrically connected to the core of the first barrier rope 2 at the first end. This access authorization unit is preferably also grounded and is therefore able to conduct current through the barrier cable 2 in the closed position. If the contact is opened without permission, this is detected and an alarm is triggered.

At least one roller 11, 12 is connected to at least one vibration sensor. Is shaken in fixed position on a roller 11, 12 with vibration sensor increased or drawn, this sensor can send a signal to an output unit connected to it, such as a siren, and trigger it. The shaking sensor is preferably deactivated during the docking position in order to prevent false alarms.
