Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus and a method for controlling and / or monitoring a barrier system, which barrier system comprises a pivotable barrier arm and a drive motor, by means of the drive motor of the barrier arm between a passive position and an active position is pivotally.
  • the present invention relates to such a device, or such a method for controlling and / or monitoring a barrier system, in which a secure and reliable closure or opening of the barrier in emergency situations is ensured at any time, and in which minimizes the energy and material consumption become.
  • Barriers are mechanical devices by means of which traffic routes can be blocked.
  • barriers at the border crossings are used to prevent unauthorized transits.
  • barriers, often in conjunction with a control mechanism are used where the entry or exit of vehicles or persons is to be controlled (such as in car parks and similar facilities).
  • a barrier usually comprises one or more so-called barrier arms, ie transverse rods, which can be pivoted by a drive mechanism between the open and closed positions.
  • the barrier arm is often supported in the closed position by a support post or similar device.
  • some barriers also have a so-called suspension (Schkriechschutz) or a safety gate (Übersteigschutz).
  • the barrier arm can be designed either as a solid rod or as an articulated arm, whereby the barriers in tight Space (eg in the underground parking garages) can be used.
  • barrier systems An important aspect in the realization of barrier systems is the safe opening or closing of the barrier in extraordinary situations, for example in the event of a power failure or in the event of a major control failure. It is of course important from the safety standpoint that the barrier in such situations occupies the position which guarantees a minimal endangering of human lives and material goods.
  • this safety position can vary depending on the type or area of application of the barrier. For example, in the case of a parking garage barrier, it is desirable that it occupies the open position in an exceptional situation. In this way it can be guaranteed that, for example, in a fire or other disaster the parked cars are not prevented from leaving.
  • the situation is different at railroad or border crossings, where the barrier has to be brought into the closed position in the event of a fault, so that possible collisions with approaching trains or unauthorized border crossings are prevented.
  • Conventional barrier systems basically use either mechanical elements (such as springs) or hydraulic means to secure a barrier return to the emergency position.
  • mechanical elements such as springs
  • hydraulic means to secure a barrier return to the emergency position.
  • these conventional means have the disadvantage that they are susceptible to defects to a relatively high degree.
  • the regular drive and this emergency drive ie the return in emergency situations
  • the conventional barrier systems usually require relatively high electrical voltages in order to be able to be driven correctly at all.
  • the power lines leading to the barrier systems must be specially insulated and secured so that the risk of accidents can be minimized. If the supply voltage is reduced, also increases the power consumption in such conventional systems. Not least, therefore, the energy supply lines in the conventional barrier systems must have a relatively large cross-section, so that the electrical energy required by the engine can actually be made available at any time.
  • the device for controlling and / or monitoring a barrier system which barrier system comprises a pivotable barrier arm and a drive motor, wherein by means of the drive motor of the barrier arm between a passive position and an active position is pivotally, a chargeable energy storage for supplying energy to the drive motor and at least one control module, wherein the energy storage means of an external power supply is chargeable, and wherein by means of the control module, the direction of the energy flow from the external power supply to the energy storage and / or energy storage is controllable to the drive motor.
  • the advantage of this invention is, in particular, that in the barrier system an energy storage device for supplying energy to the drive motor is provided in such a way that the energy required for the operation of the motor is present at any time directly on site.
  • the control module by means of the control module, the current direction can be easily controlled, so that in particular the energy storage can be loaded in any position.
  • the energy storage can now be charged directly, without the barrier system taken apart, or that the energy storage must be physically replaced.
  • the external power supply a sufficient energy supply can always be guaranteed for the energy storage device, which always ensures that there is at least enough energy in the energy storage device to safely bring the barrier into the emergency position in the event of a power failure or other problem.
  • the inventive control module the necessary balance between Energy storage (ie, charging) and energy use (ie, engine operation) can be found in a simple and very efficient way.
  • the drive motor is a DC motor.
  • DC motors basically have very good properties (for example, good controllability, good starting behavior, etc.), which qualify them particularly well for use in a barrier system.
  • these DC motors have the advantage that the direction (or rotation) change can be easily made by the voltage reversal.
  • the use of a DC motor in combination with the inventive control module allows, for example, the switching of the movement of the barrier arm from the passive position to the active position and vice versa, without additional elements and means.
  • the external voltage supply is a DC protective extra-low voltage (SELV).
  • SELV DC protective extra-low voltage
  • SELV is common in the art and refers to the English term "Safety Extra Low Voltage”. From a safety extra-low voltage one speaks at very small electrical voltages, which offer special protection against electric shock due to their low height and the isolation from circuits with higher voltages. In this case, the voltage is so small that electrical currents in the human body normally remain without consequences.
  • This embodiment variant has the advantage, among other things, that generally harmless and safe voltage lines can be used for the voltage supply of the energy store and the entire system (or the barrier system). Therefore, no special insulation measures are needed, so that the entire system can be built cheaper. In addition, much less powerful lines are needed for the lower voltages, so that the cross-section of the supply lines can be kept very small.
  • the energy store is designed as a supercapacitor.
  • the supercapacitors also called double-layer capacitors
  • the supercapacitors are electronic components with a very high capacity (in some cases several thousand F), which is based in principle on the dissociation of ions in the liquid electrolyte.
  • This embodiment variant has the particular advantage that, thanks to a supercapacitor, DC currents with very high current intensities can be provided relatively quickly.
  • the energy can be stored in the supercapacitor, which can be supplied very quickly to the drive motor of the barrier system, so that even in emergency situations a very fast opening or closing of the barrier is guaranteed. Thanks to the very high capacity, these currents are quite sufficient to realize the movement of the barrier arm in a required quality.
  • the energy storage is designed as a battery and / or an accumulator.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is the very reliable operation of a battery or a rechargeable battery. Batteries and accumulators are also universally applicable and require a relatively low maintenance. Also, a battery or a rechargeable battery can be taken out relatively easily and replaced by a new element, which can often be of great advantage, in particular in rear-end collisions (where drivers drive into the barriers). Last but not least, the batteries or accumulators are capable of supplying electrical energy for a relatively long time. Finally, the energy density of batteries or accumulators is very high, which favors the construction of lighter systems.
  • control module comprises at least one switch by means of which the energy flow to the energy store and / or from the energy store to the drive motor can be controlled.
  • This embodiment variant has, inter alia, the advantage that the energy flow can be controlled very precisely.
  • the switches can be used to ensure that the switching between the energy storage state (ie, charging of the energy storage device) and the plant operating state (ie movement of the barrier arm) can be efficiently controlled.
  • the switches can be used to control the correct direction of rotation of the drive motor.
  • the at least one switch can be actuated by at least one remote control.
  • the advantage of this embodiment lies in the fact that the switchover between the various operating states (charging energy storage, moving the barrier arm from the passive to the active position, moving the barrier arm from the active to the passive position) not only on site but also from a remote location Place can be performed. Thus, no personnel on site must be engaged for the control or the monitoring of the barrier system, without the safety or operability of the barrier system would suffer. Thus, the operating costs of such a barrier system compared to other conventional barrier systems can be significantly reduced again.
  • At least one sensor is provided for position detection of the barrier arm, by means of which sensor the energy flow to the energy store and / or from the energy store to the drive motor can be controlled.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is, in particular, that the control or monitoring of the barrier system can be completely automated. Thanks to such a sensor, the position of the barrier arm can be detected, so that the barrier system can be controlled based on this information.
  • a sensor can detect that the barrier arm has reached the desired position (e.g., the active position) and automatically change the barrier's operating mode from "move" to "stop".
  • a plurality of sensors can also be provided which, in interaction with the other elements of the device according to the invention, enable optimum detection and thus precise and reliable control and / or monitoring of the barrier system.
  • FIG. 1 schematically a barrier system 20 is illustrated.
  • the barrier system 20 basically consists of a barrier arm 25, which is pivotally mounted on a support post 21.

  • barrier systems 20 are conceivable, which have no support post, but in which the barrier arm 25 is otherwise held exactly in the desired height.
  • special fluorescent markers 26 ', 26 "are often attached to the barrier arm 25 (often in the combination of red-white or black-yellow), which are intended to help improve the visibility of the barrier barrier 20.
  • the barrier arm 25 can (as in FIG. 1 shown) are pivoted in particular about a pivot point 22 on the support post 21 between a lying position P1 and an upright position P2.
  • the barrier arm 25 in the lying position P1 obstructs the passage for the cars or persons, while this passage is possible at the barrier arm 25 in the upright position P2.
  • the barrier arm 25 In the position P1, the barrier arm 25 is mostly passive, that is without any help from the drive mechanism, while a drive force has to be applied for the movement and holding of the barrier arm 25 in the upright position P2. So the lying position P1 becomes too as the "passive" position, while for the upright position P2 partially the name "active" position is used.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows the structure of the support post 21 of the barrier system 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the reference numeral 22 in FIG. 2 refers to a pivot point about which the barrier arm 25 can rotate by means of the drive motor 30 between the passive position P1 (as shown) and the active position P2 (not shown).
  • this drive motor 30 can therefore rotate in two different directions, wherein in a first direction of rotation movement of the barrier arm 25 is reached from the position P1 to the position P2, while the drive motor 30 for moving the barrier arm 25 from the position P2 back in must move the position P1 in an opposite second direction.
  • the drive motor 30 is therefore advantageously an electric motor, for example a DC electric motor.
  • the drive motor 30 is also an AC electric motor or is realized in a completely different way.
  • the drive motor 30 could basically be replaced by a hydraulic or similar drive.

  • the movement (ie, rotation) of the drive motor 30 is transmitted to the barrier arm 25 via the rotation transmitting member 31 so that the barrier arm 25 is pivoted in the desired direction.
