It relates to an axess turnstile with a passage between a turnstile housing and a guide and physical barrier as well as an at least one-leaf locking element in the passage and a display and control panel on the safe side of the security turnstile, which is fitted into an opening in a wall of the turnstile housing.
Axess turnstiles of this type are known in waist high turnstile or full-height turnstiles and revolving doors. Often several passenger access turnstiles are combined to form systems. The blocking element can consist of a swivel wing, a two- or three-armed rotating star or a barrier grille that can be rotated around a vertical axis. On the access side there is a reader for an access badge with individual features that can be read optically, magnetically, electrically or wirelessly. On the so-called safe side opposite the access side is the display and control panel with indicator lights for the operating status of the access control gates, if necessary a display for reproducing the data of an access badge read by the reader and switches or buttons for locking and unlocking the turnstile mechanism, for reversal the approved direction of passage, etc.
The display and control panels, particularly of passenger locks in the access area of sports stadiums and other areas for major events, are increasingly exposed to damage from vandalism either by visitors at the end of an event or by people who have entered the secured area without authorization. A damaged display and control panel leads to the failure of the path turnstile in question and causes high costs for repair or replacement. The same vandalism problem also exists for the reading device on the access side.
It is based on the object of creating an industrila turnstile of the type specified in the introduction with improved protection against vandalism.
This object is achieved in that the display and control panel is set back from the opening in the housing wall and in that the opening in the housing wall can be completely closed with a cover when the axess turnstile is not in use.
The panel can consist of a sheet metal that can be moved between a position that exposes the opening in the housing wall and a position that covers this opening and can preferably also be locked in the latter position.
In a preferred embodiment, all components of the electrical control including the power supply of the automatic turnstile gates are arranged on the back of the display and control panel (with the exception of the reading device arranged on the access side, possibly the light barrier or light barriers for detecting the presence of a person in the area of the locking element of the lock and the position sensors assigned to the locking element).
In a particularly preferred development of this embodiment, the display and control panel can, in addition to its displaceability or retractability in the turnstile housing, be pivotable about a horizontal axis in the area ofthe lower edge of the opening of the turnstile housing into an at least approximately horizontal position. This embodiment is particularly service-friendly because all essential components of the electrical control are easily accessible at a comfortable working height when the display and control panel are swung out.
The drawing shows an exemplary embodiment of an axess turnstile and its details. It shows:
Fig.1: an isometric view of an controlled access turnstile with two passages and a hidden display and control panel
Fig.2: the same entry access control system with exposed display and control panel
Fig.3: the controlled entry system with the control panel folded out into the service position
Fig.4: a section in the area of the display and control panel with the panel closed
Fig.5: the same detail as Figure 4, but with the aperture open
Fig.6: an enlarged and sectioned partial side view of the closure area of the aperture
Figures 1 and 2 show a full height double turnstile, seen from the so-called safe side. The left-side turnstile a comprises an outer guide and boundary grille 1, a passage with a blocking element in the form of a rake or barrier grille 3 with four wings that can be rotated about a vertical axis 2, and a lock housing that includes a column 4. The right-hand lock b is constructed symmetrically and shares column 4 with the left-hand lock a. Both locks have a common upper cross member 5 and a common upper cover plate 6.
The column 4 has an opening which is closed by a panel 7 in FIG. Behind this panel 7 there is a display and control panel 8 according to Figure 2. It includes the usual, known display and control elements, here in a double version, namely both for the lock a and for the lock b.
The display and control panel 8 essentially consists of a front panel on which the lock electronics are mounted on the back and which can be swung out about a lower horizontal axis.
In Figure 3, this display and control panel 8 is shown in a 90 ° swung or unfolded service position, in which the indicated electrical and electronic assemblies and components of the controls of the locks a and b are freely accessible.
Figure 4 shows the aperture 7 in the closed position. It can be moved vertically in guides (not shown) behind the wall of the column 4, guided laterally. Near its upper edge, the panel 7 has a handle strip 7a, in the middle of which a lock 9 sits.
Figure 5 shows the display and control panel 8 with displays, key switches, “emergency stop” or stop buttons, etc., which is accessible after lowering the panel 7 in Figure 4 and is installed behind the panel 7, with displays, key switches, “emergency stop” or stop buttons, etc. for the locks a and b.
Figure 6 illustrates that the panel 7 is located behind the wall 4a of the column 4. In the position shown, the opening in the wall 4a, behind which the display and control panel is located, is closed by the panel 7 pushed upwards and the panel 7 is secured by means of the lock 9, which has a locking bolt 9a that can be advanced and retracted using a key . In the position shown, this locking bolt 9a engages in an opening in a cross rail 10 in the column 4.
Of course, each of the turnstiles a and b could also be assigned its own display and control panel, as is the case with a single passage.
Claims
1. Axess turnstile (a or b) with a passage between a turnstilehousing (4, 5, 6) and a guiding and limiting barrier (1) as well as an at least one-leaf blocking element (2, 3) in the passage and a display and control panel (8) on the safe side of the turnstile solutions, which is fitted into an opening in a wall (4) of the turnstile housing, characterized in that the display and control panel (8) is set back from the opening in the housing wall (4) and that the opening in the housing wall (4) can be completely closed with a cover (7) when the building turnstile is not in use.
