It relates to a pedestrian turnstile with a passage between a turnstile housing and a guide and limiting barrier as well as an at least one-leaf blocking element in the passage and an access-side reading device, the front panel of which is fitted into an opening in a wall of the lock housing and that after an access badge has been read out and brings the blocking element into a position that releases the passage.
The pedestrian turnstiles are known in half-height or full-high versions as access turnstiles and revolving doors. Often several High entry-exit 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 about 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, there is a display and control panel with indicator lights for the operating status of the lock, possibly a display for reproducing the data of an access badge read by the reader and switches or buttons for locking and unlocking the lock, for reversal the approved direction of passage, etc.
The reading devices, particularly in full height pedestrian turnstiles in the access area of sports stadiums and other areas for major events, are increasingly exposed to damage from vandalism. A damaged reading device leads to the failure of the personnel lock in question and causes high costs for repair or replacement. The same applies in the event of deliberate damage to the display and control panel.
It is based on the object of protecting a modern security gate of the type specified in the introduction against failure due to vandalism.
This object is achieved in that the reading device can be completely retracted into the turnstile housing when the personnel lock is not in use.
The opening in the housing wall can preferably be closed with a cover.
In particular, the reading device can be displaceable into the interior of the lock housing.
The reading device can expediently be moved on guides between the recessed non-use position and the use position.
In a preferred embodiment of the outdoor turnstiles, the reading device is arranged on a carriage, which in turn can be moved on carriage guides. The carriage can be designed so that any type of reading device can be mounted on it. Only the size of the opening in the turnstile housing then needs to be adapted to the type of reading device.
In principle, the reading device can be moved by hand between its recessed non-use position and its extended use position, if necessary supported by mechanical springs or gas pressure springs. Alternatively, a pneumatic or hydraulic drive is also possible.
However, the reading device can preferably be moved between its non-use position and its use position by means of an electric drive.
For example, the electric drive can include a geared motor and a threaded spindle for moving the reading device. At the same time, the threaded spindle can be equipped with a square, a hexagon socket or another profile at its end pointing outwards, towards the housing wall of the lock, with which a tool inserted via a hole in the housing wall can be brought into engagement If the electric drive fails, for example, to bring the reading device into the recessed, protected non-use position.
The electric drive can expediently be actuated via a switch arranged on the so-called safe side of the passenger lock. The safe side of the turn style door is the side opposite the access side.
Alternatively, the electric drive can also be switched on and off via a switch that is concealed on the access side or otherwise secured against unauthorized operation.
The switch can be mounted inside the turnstile gate housing and can be switched from outside using a key.
The panel with which the opening in the housing wall of the access control turnstile can be closed in the recessed non-use position of the reading device 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 be locked in the latter position by means of a lock is. Preferably, the panel can be moved in the vertical direction. It can be equipped with a handle bar. The pedestrian turnstile barrier can be locked using a key or electromagnetically, in the latter case from the display and control panel located on the secure side of the barrier turnstile.
The turnstile gates with card reader in operation are usually monitored by operating personnel, who are then also responsible for opening and closing the cover and for moving the reading device between its use and non-use positions. In principle, however, these tasks can also be carried out remotely from a control room. In this case, the panel is also designed to be movable by an electric motor.
Sensors such as limit switches or fork light barriers can detect and report the position of the reading device and the position of the aperture. An electrical lock can be used to ensure that the reading device can only be moved into the position of use when the cover is open and, conversely, only when the reading device is in its recessed non-use position can the cover be brought into its position closing the opening in the housing wall.
Further improved vandalism protection is achieved if the display and control panel is set back from the opening in the housing wall and the opening in the housing wall can be completely closed with a cover when the personnel lock 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 turnstile gate, are arranged on the back of the display and control panel (with the exception of the reading device on the access side, possibly the light barrier or light barriers for detecting the presence of a person in the area of the locking device of the lock and the position sensors and drives 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 security turnstile housing, be pivotable about a horizontal axis in the area of the lower edge of the opening of the lock 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.

Figures 1 and 2 show a double lane full height turnstile. The left-side lock 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, of which only an access-side column with a housing wall 4a can be seen is. The right-side lock b is constructed symmetrically and accordingly has an access-side housing wall 4b. Both locks have a common upper cross member 5 and a common upper cover plate 6.
The housing wall 4a of the left-side lock a has an opening which is closed by a panel 7a. As will be described in more detail below, there is a retracted reading device behind this panel 7a. In the housing wall 4b of the right-hand lock b, its reading device 8b can be seen in the extended position of use.
Figure 3 shows a simplified view of this double lock a, b with the cover plate 6 removed. Behind the housing wall 4b of the left lock b is the retracted reading device 8a. The reading device 8b of the right-hand lock b, which has been extended into the position of use, protrudes with its front side over the housing wall 4b. This protrusion is due to the design of the reading device. In the case of readers of other types, the front side can have a smaller protrusion over the housing wall 4a, 4b or can even fill the opening essentially flush with this housing wall.
On the opposite side, the so-called safe side of the full height double turnstile, there is a display and control panel for the functions of the locks a, b.
Figure 4 illustrates a side view of the reading device 8a in the retracted or recessed position behind the housing wall 4a. The opening for the reading device 8a is covered essentially flush with the housing wall 4a by the cover 7a, which has an upper handle strip 7al. In this upper position, the panel 7a is secured by a lock 10. The lock 10 sits on the housing wall 4a and has a locking pin that can be operated using a key and which fits into a corresponding opening the aperture 7a engages near its upper edge.
Figure 5 shows the reading device 8b in its extended position of use, i.e. passing through the opening in the housing wall 4b with the cover 7b lowered.
The reading devices 8a and 8b can be moved electrically between their positions shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. For this purpose, electric motors 11a and 11b with a reversible direction of rotation and gearboxes are used, which drive threaded spindles 12a and 12b, which are rotatably mounted in bearing brackets such as 13 and 14 and have a spindle nut which is in engagement with a carriage, not shown, on which the reading device 8a or .8b is mounted. The electric motors 11a and 11b and their direction of rotation are controlled via key switches (not shown) with z. B. three positions switched either directly or preferably indirectly via the known control and monitoring circuit for the other functions of the reception turnstile in question as well as the display and control panel. The apertures 7a, 7b and the reading devices 8a, 8b are expediently assigned position sensors (not shown), which are connected to sequence controls which prevent collisions between the reading device and the apertures.
The threaded spindles 12a, 12b have an internal hexagon at their end facing the housing wall 7a or 7b and the housing walls 7a, 7b have a hole at the same height for inserting a tool 20, indicated by dashed lines in Figure 5, by means of which the respective threaded spindle and thus the relevant one The reader can be moved manually in the event that the electric drive fails.
Figures 6 and 7 show schematic top views of the reading device 8a and the reading device 8b in Figures 4 and 5. The threaded spindle 12 and its drive are arranged centrally between slide rods 15 and 16 as guides for the carriage, not shown, of the reading device in question.
Figure 8 shows the same double full height canopy turnstile as Figure 1, but seen from the so-called safe side. The left-hand lock a is therefore the right-hand lock b in Figure 1, the right-hand turnstile b is the lock a in Figure 1. The locks a and b have a column 24 in common, which is part of the lock housing.
The column 24 has a wall with an opening which is closed by a panel 27 in FIG. Behind this panel 27 there is a display and control panel 28 according to Figure 9. 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 28 essentially consists of a front panel on which the lock electronics and its power supply are mounted on the back and which can be swung out about a lower horizontal axis.
In Figure 10, this display and control panel 28 is shown in a 90° swiveled 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 11 shows the aperture 27 in the closed position. It can be moved laterally and vertically in guides (not shown) behind the wall of the column 24. Near its upper edge, the panel 27 has a handle strip 27a, in the middle of which a lock 29 sits.
Figure 12 shows the display and control panel 28 with displays, key switches, “emergency stop” or stop buttons, etc., which is accessible after lowering the panel 27 in Figure 11 and is installed behind the panel 27. For the locks a and b.
Figure 13 illustrates that the panel 27 is located behind the wall 24a of the column 24. In the position shown, the opening is in the wall 24a
Display and control panel 28 sits, closed by the panel 27 pushed upwards and the panel 27 and secured by means of the lock 29, which has a locking bolt 29a that can be advanced and retracted using a key. In the position shown, this locking bolt 29a engages in an opening in a cross rail 30 in the column 24.
