Description

  The present invention relates to a gate device for restricting human traffic such as preventing, allowing or guiding human traffic.

  In general, a gate device that restricts the passage of people blocks or allows passage of people by horizontally turning a restricting body (stopper) to block or open the passage. Appearance extending long along the line. In other words, the passage is constituted by an elongated shape in plan view. There are cases where the restriction bodies are arranged at two places in the front and rear, and cases where only one restriction body is arranged at the front and rear intermediate portions.

  In any case, the gate device has a front surface portion that extends in a substantially vertical direction (substantially vertical direction) when viewed from the person's entry direction, and an upper surface portion that extends in a substantially front-rear direction along the direction of passage of the person. In addition, a display unit and a card reading unit are provided on the front surface and the upper surface. The card reading part is provided on the upper surface part, and the display part indicating whether or not entry is possible is provided on one or both of the upper surface part and the front surface part.

  The front part and the upper part of the gate device are configured by a cover. Conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example, the front part is configured by a front cover and the upper part is an upper part. The front cover and the upper cover are attached to the main body by means such as screws and hinges, so that various devices appear when the front cover and the upper cover are removed or opened. It has become.

  In many cases, the gate device removes a cover or pivots to maintain, inspect, repair, or replace devices and parts such as a card reader and a sensor. In this case, the gate device has a method using a contact card such as a magnetic card as a passage card and a method using a non-contact card such as an IC card. The latter method does not require a card transport mechanism. Therefore, it can be said that the frequency of maintenance / inspection and repair is lower than that of the former method, but there are still maintenance inspections of sensors associated with companionship and illegal intrusion, etc., and maintenance inspections must be carried out quite frequently.

And if the front part and the upper surface part of the gate device are configured with separate covers as in the prior art, not only will it take time to assemble the gate device, but also in both the front part and the upper surface part. There is also a problem that it takes time even when the main body must be exposed. Further, when the front cover and the upper cover are separated , the sense of unity may be lowered and the aesthetics may be inferior.

Furthermore, equipment for identification and display that the first card reader, often are arranged in terms of functionality on top of the gate device, therefore, the frequency or open or remove the upper cover is high, In this case, as a matter of course, a means for attaching the upper cover to the main body is necessary, and there is a problem that the structure becomes complicated when viewed as the entire cover device.

  In addition, when the upper cover is attached to and detached from the main body, there is a problem that the upper cover removed during maintenance or the like may become an obstacle, and the upper cover can be freely opened and closed by connecting it to the main body with a hinge. For example, when the gate device is installed near the wall of a building, there is a problem that the wall may become an obstacle and the upper cover may not be opened, and the form is specified so that it can be rotated by hinge connection. There is a problem that the freedom of design is easily lost.

  The present invention has been made to improve the current situation.

The present invention provides a gate device located on one or both sides of the passing path of the human, the gate device includes a front cover having a front cover portion of the upper and lower longitudinal viewed from the approach direction to the passage, the front And a support unit for holding the front cover in the raised position in the main body in a configuration in which equipment can be maintained by raising the front cover. Is arranged so as to be able to tilt forward, and the front cover is held in the raised position by tilting the support means forward.

In the invention of claim 2, the upper cover portion extending in the front-rear direction is integrally connected to the upper end of the front cover portion of the front cover, and at least the portion of the main body portion covered with the upper cover portion of the front cover Is an upper space opened upward, and devices for controlling the passage of people are arranged in the upper space .

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the support means is biased by a spring so as to fall into a forward tilted posture.

  Now, since the gate device is installed in a state protruding from the floor, it has a front and a rear surface in the direction of human traffic (one-way direction), but it is symmetrical in front and back so that the direction of human traffic can be switched. Since it is often shaped, it is difficult to distinguish the front surface from the rear surface, so it may be reasonable to understand that it has two front surfaces. Moreover, the length of the gate device (measured in the direction of human traffic) varies, and there is no necessity of covering the entire upper surface with one cover.

  After all, in view of the variety of gate devices, the present invention is a mode in which the upper cover portion extends in a series throughout and one front cover portion is continuous at one end, and the upper cover portion extends over the entire length. A mode in which the front cover part is integrally connected to both front and rear ends, a mode in which the upper cover part is separated into two front and rear parts, and a front cover part is integrally continuous to the end part of each upper cover part, It can be said that the upper cover part is divided into two parts in the front and rear, and includes four aspects, in which the front cover part is integrally continuous only with one upper cover part.

In the invention of claim 2 of the present application, since the front cover portion and the upper cover portion are integrally and continuously configured, the gate device is assembled as compared with the case where the front cover portion is configured separately as in the prior art. In addition to reducing labor, it is possible to achieve a clean design with high unity and uniformity. Further, since the front surface and the upper surface of the main body are exposed by removing one front cover, it is possible to suppress the trouble of attaching and detaching the cover when maintaining the equipment provided on the front and upper surfaces of the main body.

  When a non-contact card such as an IC card is used as a pass card, the card touches (or holds over) the upper cover part, so a card reader is placed on the upper part of the main body part covered with the upper cover part. In other words, it is often sufficient to expose a portion covered with the upper cover of the front cover during maintenance and inspection.

Therefore, in the present invention, the front cover is mounted on the main body portion so as to be slidable up and down. Therefore, when the devices are concentrated on the upper portion of the main body portion, the front cover is not removed from the main body portion one by one. However, by sliding upward, it becomes possible to perform operations such as maintenance of equipment and devices, thereby eliminating the trouble of reattaching the front cover. Further, in the method of rotating the upper cover to the outside of the passage, the upper cover may not be able to be rotated when the gate device is installed near the wall. However, in claim 2, the upper portion of the front cover is a space. Thus, there is no problem in raising the front cover, so that even when the gate device is installed near the wall, maintenance of the equipment can be performed reliably.

Further, in the present invention, since the front cover can be held at a height position where maintenance can be performed without using any object, the labor of the operation can be reduced accordingly. In the invention of claim 3, front cover not only automatically, stably supported by the struts alone lifted to a predetermined height, a front cover which is supported by struts by raising slightly the struts on the rear side By rotating, the front cover can be slid downward, and therefore, there is an advantage that the front cover can be lifted and lowered with one touch.

It is a vertical side view of the principal part in the state which raised the front cover. It is the schematic which shows other embodiment.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description (and the invention of the claims), front / rear / left / right words are used to specify the direction, but the front / rear direction refers to the direction in which a person's passage extends (the direction in which a person passes), Means the direction across the passage in plan view. Front view refers to a state viewed from the front-rear direction, and side view refers to a state viewed from the left-right direction.

(1) Overall overview First, the overall overview will be explained. In the present embodiment has through passage 2 is constituted by two left and right gate device, as can be understood from FIG. 3, the gate device includes a center unit 3 constituting the front and rear intermediate portion, front and rear sides of the center unit 3 It is comprised by the 1st front unit 4 and the 2nd front unit 5 which are arrange | positioned. The left and right gate devices are connected by a floor member 6. The gate device as a whole is set to the height of a general adult's waist.

The front / rear length (width dimension) of the center unit 3 is less than half of the front / rear length of the front units 4, 5. Further, the overall length of the gate device including the center unit 3 and the front and rear front units 4 and 5 is larger than the height. It is also possible to configure the passage with only one gate device. It is also possible to form a large number of through path 2 by arranging a plurality of gate devices in parallel. The floor member 6 is composed of a floor plate 6a whose front and rear ends are inclined, and a spacer 6b that supports the floor plate 6a at a position excluding the inclined portion. Needless to say, the floor member 6 may be omitted.

The center unit 3 has a substantially elliptical planar shape in plan view, and the left and right thickness is smaller than the front and rear width. Therefore, the center unit 3 has a pole shape (columnar shape) as a whole. On the side facing the center unit 3 sac Chi through path 2, regulatory bodies through path 2 a cross passage blocking position and a through passage 2 an open passage acceptable posture and the horizontal pivotable plate (shaped flaps) ( A flapper 7 is attached.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (B), a recess 8 facing the passage 2 is formed at a position slightly above the middle height in the center unit 3, and a rotating shaft provided at the position of the recess 8. The restricting body 7 is attached to. Accordingly, the restricting body 7 is hidden in the recess 8 when it is allowed to pass, so that a bag held by a person is not caught.

The upper end portion of the center unit 3 is a center display portion 9 having a horizontal stripe appearance. The outer periphery of the center display unit 9 is made of a translucent resin, and light is emitted brightly by turning on an LED lamp provided inside. For example, red and blue (green) can be selected as the emission color. For example, the center display unit 9 can keep a remote person informed of a passable state and a non-passable state by always lighting red or green, for example. It is also possible to make the color of the center display unit 9 recognize whether or not the touched card is appropriate. A diffuser plate such as a resin translucent plate is disposed on the inner periphery of the center display unit 9 to achieve uniform brightness while using an LED lamp as a point light source.

It is possible to provide two regulating bodies 7 in one center unit 3. Moreover, when arrange | positioning a gate apparatus in multiples, the regulation body 7 will be attached to the center unit 3 of each gate apparatus, respectively. Center unit 3 has a structure of mounting the cover to the frame member, the inside, but such as motors and control devices for activating the regulating member 7 is arranged, directly related to the present application is not Therefore, explanation is omitted.

  The first front unit 4 and the second front unit 5 are basically the same, and the only difference is whether or not the display panel 11 is provided on the front cover 10. When the gate devices are arranged in multiples and can be passed from both, the display panels 11 are attached to the front covers 10 of the first front unit 4 and the second front unit 5, respectively. That is, the front unit may be configured by only the first front panel 4 having the display panel 11, or may be used in combination with the second front panel 5 without the display panel 11.

  Since the present embodiment is a unit system, it is possible to use only one first front unit 4 as a gate device or only the center unit 3 as a gate device.

(2). Front Unit Next, the structure of the first front unit 4 will be described. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the first front unit 4 has a main skeleton composed of an L-shaped main frame 13 that forms a front portion and an upper portion thereof, and a lower frame 14 that forms a lower portion. The decorative panel 15 is arranged in a space surrounded by the main frame 13 and the lower frame 14. In the present embodiment, the main body 13, the lower frame 14, and the decorative panel 15 form the exterior of the main body described in the claims.

Decorative panel 15 is held in the holder 16 which is fixed to the main frame 13 and lower frame 14. In addition, the decorative panel 15 can use various things, such as a glass plate, a resin board (acrylic board), a metal plate, and a wooden board. The lower frame 14 is fixed to the center unit 3 with bolts (not shown).

The main frame 13 includes a front portion 13a in a vertical posture and an upper portion 13b extending in the front-rear direction continuously to the upper end thereof, and the upper portion 13b is inclined at a gentle angle so as to become higher toward the center unit 3. . What thus tilting the top 13b is a for combing easier against the cards, (or for ease held up), or may be a horizontal posture naturally.

  For example, as clearly shown in FIG. 4, the main frame 13 has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape (a bowl shape) that opens outward, and thus includes a substrate 17 and left and right side plates 18. In addition, a front space that opens forward is vacant at a position of the front portion 13a of the main frame 13, and an upper space that is open upward is vacant at a position of the upper portion 13b of the main frame 13. The place is continuous.

An upper and lower longitudinal inward flange 19 is formed on the side plate 18 of the front portion 13a of the main frame 13 by bending. As shown in FIG. 4, a front wall is formed by extending left and right side plates 18 at the tip of the upper portion 13b of the main frame 13, and a joint 13c fixed to the front wall with a bolt is fixed to the center unit 3. Yes.

The front cover 10 is a metal plate or a resin plate such as stainless steel, ceramic boards like stony system board can be produced by a variety of materials such as wood board. It is also possible to have a laminated structure of different materials. In any case, the front cover 10 has a vertically long front cover portion 10a and an upper cover portion 10b continuous to the upper end of the main frame 13 so as to overlap and close the front and top surfaces of the main frame 13. The front cover 10 is slightly wider than the main frame 13, so that the left and right side edges of the front cover 10 slightly protrude outward from the left and right side surfaces of the main frame 13.

  4 and 6C, the vertically long auxiliary member 20 entering the inside of the main frame 13 is fixed to the inner surface of the front cover portion 10a of the front cover 10, and the auxiliary member 20 is Guide brackets 21 are fixed to both end portions and upper and lower intermediate portions, and guide pieces 21 a located on the inner surface side of the inward flange 19 in the main frame 13 are bent and formed on the guide bracket 21. Therefore, the front cover 10 is held slidable up and down without being able to move forward by the guide action of the inward flange 19 and the guide piece 21a. Needless to say, the front cover 10 can be removed from the main frame 13 upward.

The auxiliary member 20 is in close contact with or close to the end face of the inward flange 18, and thus the front cover 10 is smoothly guided in a state in which it cannot be rattled from side to side. Since the corner of the upper end of the inward flange 19 is cut obliquely, the guide piece 21a can be smoothly fitted. The auxiliary member 20 may be integrated without being separated into left and right. Further , the guide bracket 21 may be directly fixed without using the auxiliary member 20. The middle and upper guide brackets 21 extend to the left and right in series, but the lower guide bracket 21 is separated to the left and right. As can be understood from FIG. 4, this is to avoid interference with the support column 22 that holds the front cover 10 in a state where the front cover 10 is lifted to the maintenance possible position.

  The support column 22 is an example of the support means described in the claims, and is disposed in a lower space of the front portion 13 a of the main frame 13. As shown in FIG. 7, the column 22 has a U-shape having left and right side plates 22 a as a basic shape. As shown in FIG. 7, the lower end of the substrate is connected to the bottom plate 25 of the main frame 13 by a hinge 23 having left and right long pins 24. Yes. The hinge 23 is a double type having two pairs of flaps that rotate relative to each other, and a torsion type coil spring 26 is fitted in an intermediate portion of the pin 24, and a direction in which the column 22 is tilted forward by the spring 25. Is energized.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the column 22 has a forward tilt angle regulated by the lower end of the side plate 22 a coming into contact with the bottom plate 25 of the main frame 13, and the upper end surface is outside the front surface of the main frame 13 in a fully tilted state. Thus, the front cover 10 lifted to the maintenance possible position can be supported. At the upper end of the left and right side plates 22a of the support column 22, a notch (engagement portion) 27 having an upward opening into which the lower end of the front cover 10 is fitted is formed. For this reason, even if a person's foot or an object hits the front surface of the column 22 with the front cover 10 supported, the column 22 does not return to the inside of the main frame 13, and an unexpected situation where the front cover 10 slides down can be prevented. .

Further, projecting a stopper piece 22b on extending upwardly to the upper end of the back plate in the strut 22, the upper end of the upper stopper 22b, to form bent upper guide piece 22c which is inclined toward the inside of the main frame 13 Yes. Due to the presence of the upper stopper 22b, even if the support column 22 tilts forward beyond the set value, the support column 22 does not come off from the front cover 10, and the presence of the upper guide piece 22c causes the front cover 10 to move to the main frame 13. Even if the upper stopper piece 22b partially protrudes in front of the main frame 13, the lowering movement of the front cover 10 can be guided.

  In FIG. 7, there is a gap between the front cover 10 and the support column 22, but actually, the upper end of the support column 22 contacts the front cover portion 10 a of the front cover 10 when the front cover 10 is lowered.

As shown in FIG. 3, the main frame 13 and the center unit 3 are provided with sensors S that detect people. These sensors S are arranged inside the main frame 13 and the center unit 3. In this case, by providing the three sensors S before and after the upper portion 13b of the main frame 13, tailgating (i.e., to unauthorized entry stick behind those who have authorized card) to be able to detect the I have to. It is possible to provide the sensor S also at the upper end of the center unit 3.

(3) Display structure etc. The front cover 10 has a window hole 29 in a state of being continuous with the front cover portion 10a and the upper cover portion 10b, and the display panel 11 is fitted and attached to the window hole 29. . For this reason, the display panel 11 has a vertical longitudinal portion 11a and a longitudinal longitudinal portion 11b, both of which are smoothly continuous. The display panel 11 has translucency and radio wave transmissivity, and a pair of left and right accessible display sections 30 and a pair of left and right entry prohibition display sections 31 are provided vertically on the upper and lower longitudinal portions 11a. In addition, a card pass display part 32 is provided in the longitudinal longitudinal part 11b.

  The approachable display unit 30 displays that the vehicle can pass, and either one or both of the left and right lights up. The entry prohibition display unit 31 displays that the vehicle cannot pass, and either one or both of the left and right lights up. The left approachable display section 30 and the entry prohibition display section 31, and the right entry enable display section 30 and the entry prohibition display section 31 are in a set. Lights up selectively.

The card pass display unit 32 displays whether or not the card is proper. When the card is correct, blue (green) is lit. When the card is not correct or reading failure, the card pass display unit 32 flashes in red. Each of the display units 30, 31, and 32 is formed by printing directly on the inner surface of the display panel 11 or pasting a printed film on the inner surface or surface of the display panel 11. The card pass display part 32 of the front and rear longitudinal part 11 b of the display panel 11 is a card touch part 33. Card touch section 33 is to be able to view the range and the like you or change the color or put a seal.

  As shown in FIG. 6B, as a fixing means of the display panel 11, a support plate 34 is disposed on the inner surfaces of the left and right side portions of the display panel, and the display panel 11 and the front cover 10 are fastened together on the support plate 34. It is fixed with. In this case, the inner surface of the window hole 29 and the side surface of the support plate 34 are stepped and fitted. For this reason, the display panel 11 and the front cover 10 are held in a state where they are exactly flush with each other.

  In the embodiment shown in the drawing, a screw is provided on the front cover 10 so that the display panel 11 and the support plate 34 are fastened together with nuts. Therefore, the support plate 34 holds the front cover 10 so that it cannot be displaced from side to side. It has a function. On the other hand, the support plate 34 can be fixed to the inner surface of the main frame 13 by welding or the like, and the front cover 10 and the display panel 11 can be supported by the support plate 34. In this case, no screw is required. Alternatively, the support plate 34 may be fixed to the display panel 11 with screws and the front cover 10 may be bonded to the display panel. Needless to say, the display panel 11 can be attached to the front cover 10 by other means. It is also possible to separate the window hole 29 into two front and rear (or upper and lower) and fit the display panel 11 into each window hole.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, inside the main frame 13, an entry control device unit 35 corresponding to the entry enable display unit 30 and the entry prohibition display unit 31, and a reading device unit 36 corresponding to the card touch unit 33. A traffic control device unit 37 corresponding to the card pass display unit 32 is provided. A group of LED lamps is arranged in the entry control device unit 34 and the traffic control device unit 36, and a card reader is provided in the reading device unit 35.

As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a lock 39 into which the key 38 can be inserted from below is attached to a portion of the main frame 13 near the front end of the upper cover portion 10b. The lock 39 is arranged so as to be shifted to one side across the decorative panel 15, and the dead bolt 40 that is rotated by the operation of the key 38 is located inside the main frame 13. The front cover 10 is secured with a locking body 41 to which the dead bolt 40 is engaged and disengaged. When the front cover 10 is locked in a set state, the dead bolt 40 is in a state of pressing the locking body 41 from above, and the front cover 10 is held so as not to move upward.

(4) Summary Although overlapping with the above description, the front cover 10 can be lifted when the lock 39 is unlocked, and maintenance and inspection of the reading device unit 35, the card path display unit 32, and the upper sensor S can be performed. When the front cover 10 is lifted, the support 22 is released from contact with the inner surface of the main frame 13 and tilted forward, whereby the front cover 10 can be held at a maintenance-possible position.

When lowering the front cover 10, the front cover 10 is lifted slightly to release the fitting between the notch 27 of the support column 22 and the front cover 10, and then the foot 22 is pushed and rotated to the back side with the foot. Then, the front cover 10 may be lowered. When the lower end of the front cover 10 is below the upper end of the support 22, the support 22 can not be tilted forward, so there is no problem even if the foot is removed from the support 22. If you want to maintenance, etc. of the passage control equipment unit 36, can you the front cover 10 Remove from the main frame 13.

  The front cover 10 can be fixed to the main frame 13 with a fastener such as a screw. However, when the lock 39 is used as in the present embodiment, it has excellent security and can be easily fixed and released. There is. Further, in this embodiment, the lock 39 is attached to the substrate (bottom plate) 17 of the upper cover portion 10b in the main frame 13 and the key 38 is inserted and removed from below. However, when this configuration is adopted, the lock 39 is inconspicuous. There is an advantage that it is excellent in safety and beauty.
