Abstract

The gate has a check element (13), which is connected to a control device in connection with an access control (7). A direction recognition sensor is activated and or deactivated, after examination of authorization of passing a passage (18). The check element (13) is a liquid medium, preferably water. At a side of the passage a liquid medium delivering nozzle (2) is arranged, which sprays the liquid medium transverse to the passage direction. Several nozzles are provided one above the other.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Personenschleuse zum Versperren eines Durchgangs mittels eines Sperrelementes, welches durch eine Steuervorrichtung in Verbindung mit einer Zugangskontrolle aktiviert bzw. deaktiviert wird, die nach Prüfung einer Berechtigung das Passieren des Durchgangs ermöglicht, gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a security gate for blocking a passage by means of a blocking element, which is activated or deactivated by a control device in conjunction with an access control, which allows the passage of the passage after checking an authorization, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei solchen bekannten Personenschleuse, besteht das Sperrelement üblicherweise aus einem festen Material, je nach Sicherheitserfordernis, wie zum Beispiel Metall, Glas oder Kunststoff. Solche bekannten Personenschleusen werden daher auch als Drehsperren, Drehkreuze oder Personenschranken bezeichnet. Das diesen Personenschleusen eigene Konstruktionsmerkmal hat jedoch zwangsläufig den Nachteil, dass es zu Verletzungen für den Benutzer kommen kann, indem dieser beispielsweise durch Unachtsamkeit in das geschlossene Sperrelement läuft oder vom schließenden Sperrelement getroffen und in schlimmen Fällen sogar eingequetscht wird. Darüber hinaus stellen derartige Personenschleusen ein erhebliches Sicherheitsrisiko in einem Panikfall dar, da die damit verbundene Mechanik in vielen Fällen keine hundertprozentige Offenstellung gewährleisten kann und der Ausgang daher trotz dem Erfordernis einer schnellen, gänzlichen Öffnung, den Durchgang nur personenweise freigibt. Bei den bekannten Systemen kann es im Falle eines Systemausfalls auch zu einer totalen Blockade der Mechanik des Sperrelementes kommen, wodurch eine Benutzung des Durchgangs unmöglich ist.In such known personal lock, the blocking element usually consists of a solid material, depending on the security requirement, such as metal, glass or plastic. Such known person locks are therefore also referred to as turnstiles, turnstiles or people barriers. However, this personal locks own design feature inevitably has the disadvantage that it can cause injury to the user by running this example by carelessness in the closed blocking element or struck by the closing blocking element and even squeezed in bad cases. In addition, such security locks pose a significant security risk in a panic case, since the associated mechanism in many cases can not guarantee a hundred percent open position and the output therefore, despite the need for a fast, complete opening, the passage releases only in person. In the known systems, it can also come in the event of a system failure to a total blockage of the mechanism of the blocking element, whereby a use of the passage is impossible.

Es sind daher auch Personenschleusen bekannt, die gänzlich auf den Einsatz von Sperrelementen verzichten. In diesem Fall erfolgt lediglich eine Kontrolle des Durchgangs beispielsweise mittels Sensoren, Videokameras und/oder optischen, sowie akustischen Signalgebern, die jedoch der durchtretenden Person kein Hindernis entgegensetzen, welches sie davon abhält den Durchgang zu benutzen. Soll ein solches Hindernis zusätzlich geschaffen werden, muss ein den Durchgang ständig kontrollierendes Wachpersonal bereitstehen, um ein Durchschreiten von unbefugten Personen zu verhindern.There are therefore also known person locks, which completely dispense with the use of locking elements. In this case, only a check of the passage, for example by means of sensors, video cameras and / or optical, as well as acoustic signal transmitters, but the person passing through takes place do not oppose an obstacle that prevents them from using the passage. If such an obstacle is to be additionally created, a guardsman who constantly supervises the passage must be available to prevent the passage of unauthorized persons.

Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und eine Personenschleuse zu schaffen, die einerseits den Durchgang unberechtigt benutzenden Personen eine deutliche Barriere entgegensetzt und andererseits die Gefahr der Verletzung der die Personenschleuse benutzenden Personen gegenüber bekannten Personenschleusen mit Sperrelementen deutlich verringert. Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.The aim of the present invention is therefore to avoid these disadvantages and to provide a personal lock, on the one hand the passage unauthorized persons using a clear barrier and on the other hand significantly reduces the risk of injury to persons using the lock against known people locks with locking elements. This is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1 according to the invention.

Dadurch, dass das Sperrelement ein flüssiges Medium wie vorzugsweise Wasser ist, ist auch in einem Panikfall oder Systemausfall stets ein Durchqueren der Schleuse möglich. Gleichzeitig wird nichtberechtigten Personen ein ausreichendes Hindernis entgegengesetzt, um diese am Durchtritt zu hindern.Because the blocking element is a liquid medium, such as preferably water, a traversal of the lock is always possible even in the case of a panic or system failure. At the same time a sufficient obstacle is opposed to unauthorized persons, in order to prevent them from passing.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 2 ist mindestens eine Düse an einer Seite des Durchgangs angeordnet. Diese Düse versprüht das flüssige Medium quer zur Durchgangsrichtung wodurch eine flüssige Schranke gebildet wird.According to the characterizing features of claim 2, at least one nozzle is arranged on one side of the passage. This nozzle sprays the liquid medium transversely to the passage direction, whereby a liquid barrier is formed.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 3 sind mehrere Düsen übereinander angeordnet wodurch die Schranke "vergrößert" wird. Je mehr Düsen angebracht sind, desto höher ist die Sperreffizienz und desto höher ist auch die psychologische Schranke, diese flüssige Schranke zu überwinden.According to the characterizing features of claim 3, a plurality of nozzles are arranged one above the other whereby the barrier is "enlarged". The more nozzles attached, the higher the sperm efficiency and the higher the psychological barrier to overcome this fluid barrier.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 4 befindet sich gegenüber der Düse bzw. den Düsen eine Auffangvorrichtung für das flüssige Medium, um das flüssige Medium einerseits für eine Wiederverwendung aufzufangen und andererseits das Benässen von unbeteiligten Personen zu verhindern.According to the characterizing features of claim 4 is located opposite the nozzle or the nozzles, a collecting device for the liquid medium to collect the liquid medium on the one hand for reuse and on the other hand to prevent the wetting of uninvolved persons.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 5 ist ein Verschluss vorgesehen, welcher in Abhängigkeit einer Berechtigung die Düse bzw. Düsen verschließt. Auf diese Weise wird der Strahl des flüssigen Mediums bei Vorweisen einer Berechtigung unterbrochen wodurch das Sperrelement den Durchgang freigibt und ein Durchschreiten der Personenschleuse ermöglicht.According to the characterizing features of claim 5, a closure is provided, which closes the nozzle or nozzles depending on an authorization. In this way, the beam of the liquid medium is interrupted upon presentation of a permission whereby the blocking element releases the passage and allows passage through the security gate.

Die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 6 beschreiben eine alternative Ausführungsvariante einer Personenschleuse mit flüssigem Sperrmittel. Dabei befindet sich über dem Durchgang ein Verteiler für das flüssige Medium, auf welchem wiederum gemäß kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 7 mehrere Düsen vorgesehen sind. Die Sprührichtung ist senkrecht zur Durchgangsrichtung. Dadurch bildet sich bei geeigneter Düsenzahl, eine senkrecht verlaufende Wasserwand aus.The characterizing features of claim 6 describe an alternative embodiment of a personal lock with liquid blocking agent. In this case, there is above the passage a distributor for the liquid medium, on which in turn according to the characterizing features of claim 7, a plurality of nozzles are provided. The spraying direction is perpendicular to the passage direction. This forms with a suitable number of nozzles, a vertical water wall.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 8 ist ein elektrisch betätigtes Ventil vor dem Flüssigkeitsverteiler angeordnet, wodurch der Flüssigkeitskreislauf gestoppt wird, und somit das Sperrelement den Durchgang freigibt.According to the characterizing features of claim 8, an electrically operated valve is arranged in front of the liquid distributor, whereby the liquid circuit is stopped, and thus the blocking element releases the passage.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 9 ist im Bereich des Durchgangs mindestens ein Sensor und/oder eine Kamera angebracht, um den Durchtritt einer Person zu detektieren. Durch das Anordnen von mehreren Sensoren kann auch die Bewegungsrichtung der durchquerenden Person detektiert werden. Im Falle der Anordnung einer Kamera kann, in Kombination mit einem Bildverarbeitungssystem, zusätzlich zur Bewegungsrichtung auch die Anzahl der die Personenschleuse durchquerenden Personen festgestellt werden.According to the characterizing features of claim 9, at least one sensor and / or a camera is mounted in the region of the passage in order to detect the passage of a person. By arranging a plurality of sensors, the direction of movement of the person passing through can also be detected. In the case of the arrangement of a camera, in combination with an image processing system, in addition to the direction of movement and the number of persons passing through the airlock are determined.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 10 ist mindestens ein Lichtsignalgeber vorgesehen, welcher in Abhängigkeit der Freigabe bzw. Sperrung des Durchgangs, im Sinne einer Ampel, in verschiedenen Farben leuchtet, um zu verhindern, dass das flüssige Sperrelement übersehen wird und Personen unabsichtlich versuchen gesperrten Durchgang zu benutzen.According to the characterizing features of claim 10, at least one light signal transmitter is provided, which lights in dependence on the release or blocking of the passage, in the sense of a traffic light, in different colors to prevent the liquid blocking element is overlooked and unintentionally people try locked passage to use.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 11 wird das Licht des Lichtsignalgebers, bzw. der Lichtsignalgeber, so auf das Sperrelement gerichtet, dass das Sperrelement selbst als Lichtleiter bzw. Reflexionsfläche dient. Dadurch soll das Risiko eines unbeabsichtigten Hineinlaufens in das Sperrelement weitestgehend minimiert werden.According to the characterizing features of claim 11, the light of the light signal transmitter, or the light signal transmitter is directed to the blocking element, that the blocking element itself serves as a light guide or reflection surface. This should minimize the risk of unintentional running into the blocking element as far as possible.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 12 ist eine Auffangwanne unterhalb des Durchgangs angeordnet, in welcher sich das als Sperrelement verwendete flüssige Medium nach Verwendung sammelt und somit erneut zur Verfügung steht. Somit findet ein ständiger Kreislauf statt.According to the characterizing features of claim 12, a collecting trough is arranged below the passage, in which the liquid medium used as a blocking element collects after use and is thus available again. Thus, a constant cycle takes place.

Gemäß den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 13 wird das flüssige Medium, vorzugsweise Wasser, von der Auffangwanne mittels einer Pumpe wieder zu den Düsen gepumpt.According to the characterizing features of claim 13, the liquid medium, preferably water, is pumped from the sump by means of a pump back to the nozzles.

Die Erfindung wird nun anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigt dabei:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf eine erfindungsgemäße Personenschleuse. Diese besteht aus einer bzw. zwei Zugangskontrollen 7, beispielsweise in Form von Karten- oder Fingerabdrucklesegeräten, die jeweils einem Gehäuse 1 bzw. 4, die beidseitig zum Durchgang 18 einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind, vorgeordnet sind. Das in Fig.1 linke Gehäuse 1 dient zu Aufnahme von Düsen 2 (Fig.2) zur Abgabe des als Sperrmittels 13 dienenden flüssigen Mediums. Das in Fig.3 rechte Gehäuse 4 ist als Auffangvorrichtung 11 für das aus den Düsen 2 abgegebene flüssige Medium ausgebildet.Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a person lock according to the invention. This consists of one or two access controls 7, for example in the form of card or fingerprint readers, which are each a housing 1 or 4, which are arranged on both sides of the passage 18 opposite each other, are arranged upstream. The left housing 1 in FIG. 1 serves to receive nozzles 2 (FIG. 2) for dispensing the liquid medium serving as blocking means 13. The right in Figure 3 housing 4 is designed as a collecting device 11 for the output from the nozzle 2 liquid medium.

Die erfindungsgemäße Personenschleuse umfasst des weiteren einen Lichtsignalgeber 14 sowie mindestens einen Sensor 8, der jeweils in einem Abstand vor dem Gehäuse 1 angeordnet ist, sowie ein in Fig.3 ersichtliches Auffangbecken 3, dass von einer Gitterkonstruktion 9 abgedeckt ist. Im Auffangbecken 3 sind die zum Betrieb der Personenschleuse erforderlichen Aggregate wie Pumpe 5, Filter 6 und Desinfektionseinheit 16, sowie Druckregeleinrichtung 12 angeordnet.The personal lock according to the invention further comprises a light signal transmitter 14 and at least one sensor 8, which is arranged in each case at a distance in front of the housing 1, as well as in Fig.3 apparent catch basin 3 that is covered by a grid structure 9. In the catch basin 3 required for the operation of the personal lock units such as pump 5, filter 6 and disinfection unit 16, and pressure control device 12 are arranged.

Im in den Fig.1 bis 3 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Personenschleuse wird das als Sperrelement 13 dienende flüssige Medium von den Düsen 2 quer zur Durchtrittsrichtung vertikal verlaufend aufgebaut. Das Sperrelement 13 verläuft somit vom Gehäuseteil 1 in Richtung Gehäuseteil 4 wo es von der Auffangvorrichtung 11 in das Auffangbecken 3 umgeleitet wird von wo aus die Flüssigkeit mittels Pumpe 5 wieder zu den Düsen 2 gepumpt wird.In the embodiment of a personal lock according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the liquid medium serving as blocking element 13 is transversely from the nozzles 2 constructed vertically to the passage direction. The blocking element 13 thus extends from the housing part 1 in the direction of the housing part 4 where it is diverted from the collecting device 11 into the collecting basin 3 from where the liquid is pumped by pump 5 back to the nozzles 2.

Befindet sich eine Person 17 an einer der Zugangskontrollen 7 und wird dort als durchgangsberechtigt identifiziert, beispielsweise durch Eingabe eines Codes, Einführen einer Karte oder Scannen des Fingerabdruckes, dann wird das Sperrelement 13, welches den Durchgang 18 ständig versperrt, deaktiviert und der Durchgang wird freigegeben.If a person 17 is located at one of the access controls 7 and is identified as authorized to pass through, for example by entering a code, inserting a card or scanning the fingerprint, then the blocking element 13 which permanently blocks the passage 18 is deactivated and the passage is released ,

Die Deaktivierung erfolgt dabei mittels eines jeder Düse 2 vorgeordneten Verschlussplättchens 10, dass durch einen Schnappmechanismus 15 vor die jeweilige Düse 2 geschoben wird. Das flüssige Medium wird dadurch im Inneren des Gehäuses 1 abgelenkt und in das Auffangbecken 3 geführt. Diese Konstruktion hat den Vorteil, dass für die Freigabe der Personenschleuse der Druck des flüssigen Mediums nicht ab- und wieder aufgebaut werden muss und somit die Aktivierung der Sperre 13 rasch und zuverlässig durch Entfernen des Verschlussplättchens 10 wieder erfolgen kann.The deactivation is carried out by means of each nozzle 2 upstream closure plate 10 that is pushed by a snap mechanism 15 in front of the respective nozzle 2. The liquid medium is thereby deflected in the interior of the housing 1 and guided into the catch basin 3. This design has the advantage that for the release of the personal lock the pressure of the liquid medium does not have to be dismantled and rebuilt and thus the activation of the lock 13 can be done quickly and reliably by removing the closure plate 10 again.

Um zu verhindern, dass unachtsame Personen die Personenschleuse im gesperrten Zustand passieren wollen, ist ein Lichtsignalgeber 14 vorgesehen, der ständig den Status, gesperrt oder offen, der Schleuse anzeigt.In order to prevent inadvertent persons who want to pass the security gate in the locked state, a light signal transmitter 14 is provided which constantly displays the status, locked or open, of the lock.

Die erfindungsgemäße Personenschleuse umfasst des weiteren einen Sensor 8 der sich, in Durchtrittsrichtung gesehen hinter dem Sperrelement 13 befindet. Dieser Sensor 8 dient zum Bestimmen jenes Zeitpunktes, zu welchem die zutrittsberechtigte Person die Personenschleuse verlässlich passiert hat und das Sperrelement 13 in Form einer Flüssigkeitswand wieder aufgebaut werden kann.The personal air lock according to the invention further comprises a sensor 8 which, viewed in the direction of passage, is located behind the blocking element 13. This sensor 8 is used to determine the time at which the person authorized to access the person lock reliably has happened and the blocking element 13 can be rebuilt in the form of a liquid wall.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsvariante der erfindungsgemäßen Personenschleuse wobei das Sperrelement 13 durch senkrecht nach unten verlaufende Flüssigkeitsstrahlen aufgebaut ist. Hierbei besteht die Schleuse neben den Zugangskontrollen 7 und Sensoren 8 aus zwei Portalstehern 21, welche Druckrohre 22 beinhalten. Die Druckrohre 22 führen zu einem direkt über dem Durchgang 18 angeordneten Verteiler 23 auf dem Düsen 2 so angeordnet sind, dass das Sperrelement 13 in Form einer vertikalen Wasserwand aufgebaut wird. Dabei wird das flüssige Sperrelement 13 so von einem Lichtsignalgeber 14 angeleuchtet, dass das Sperrelement 13 das Licht des Lichtsignalgebers 14 reflektiert, wodurch das Sperrelement 13 in der Farbe der Lichtsignalgeber 14 leuchtet. Dies verhindert in gesteigertem Maße, dass jemand unbeabsichtigt in das Sperrelement 13 läuft.Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the personal lock according to the invention wherein the blocking element 13 is constructed by vertically downwardly extending liquid jets. Here, the lock next to the access controls 7 and sensors 8 of two portal pedestals 21, which pressure tubes 22 include. The pressure pipes 22 lead to a distributor 23 arranged directly above the passage 18 on which nozzles 2 are arranged such that the blocking element 13 is constructed in the form of a vertical water wall. In this case, the liquid blocking element 13 is illuminated by a light signal transmitter 14 so that the blocking element 13 reflects the light of the light signal transmitter 14, whereby the blocking element 13 in the color of the light signal transmitter 14 lights up. This prevents to an increased extent that someone unintentionally runs in the blocking element 13.

Das Sperrelement 13 ist so lange als vorzugsweise rote Wand dargestellt, bis eine Person 17 eine gültige Durchgangsberechtigung an einer der Zugangskontrollen 7 vorweist. Dann schalten die Lichtsignalgeber 14 vorzugsweise auf grün um und das Ventil 20 wird aktiviert, wodurch das flüssige Sperrmittel 13 abgebaut wird. Während des Abbauvorgangs ist das flüssige Medium grün angestrahlt, wodurch signalisiert wird, dass der Durchgang freigegeben ist. Durch die zurücksackende Wassersäule in den Druckrohren 22 wird ein Unterdruck im Verteiler 23 erzeugt, wodurch Resttropfen die an den Düsen 2 hängen zurückgesaugt werden, und somit sichergestellt wird, dass die durchschreitende Person 17 nicht durch fallende Wassertropfen nass wird.The blocking element 13 is shown as a preferably red wall until a person 17 has a valid pass authorization at one of the access controls 7. Then, the light signal transducers 14 are preferably switched to green and the valve 20 is activated, whereby the liquid blocking agent 13 is reduced. During the degradation process, the liquid medium is illuminated in green, which signals that the passage is released. By the zurücksackende water column in the pressure pipes 22, a negative pressure in the manifold 23 is generated, whereby residual droplets are hung on the nozzles 2 are sucked back, and thus ensures that the passing person 17 is not wet by falling water droplets.

Nach Verlassen des Schleusenbereichs und Passieren des zuständigen Sensors 8 öffnet das elektrisch betätigte Ventil 20 wodurch das Sperrelement 13 wieder aufgebaut wird. Gleichzeitig schalten die Lichtsignalgeber 14 wieder auf rot wodurch das Sperrelement 13 in roter Farbe erstrahlt.After leaving the lock area and passing through the responsible sensor 8 opens the electrically operated valve 20 whereby the blocking element 13 is rebuilt. At the same time, the light signal transmitters 14 switch back to red, whereby the blocking element 13 shines in red.

Fig.5 zeigt eine alternative Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Personenschleuse, bei welcher anstelle der Sensoren 8 eine Kamera 25 zum Einsatz kommt. Diese ist über Kopf montiert, kann aber auch seitlich im Geländersystem integriert sein. Die Kamera 25 ist mit einem Bildverarbeitungssystem gekoppelt, welches es ermöglicht, die Position der die Personenschleuse durchschreitenden Person zu erkennen bzw. auch die Anzahl der Personen innerhalb der Personenschleuse zu detektieren und demgemäß den Durchgang freigibt oder das Sperrelement aktiviert.5 shows an alternative embodiment of a personal air lock according to the invention, in which instead of the sensors 8, a camera 25 is used. This is mounted overhead, but can also be integrated laterally in the railing system. The camera 25 is coupled to an image processing system, which makes it possible to detect the position of the person passing through the person lock or to detect the number of persons within the security gate and accordingly releases the passage or activates the blocking element.

Im Falle des Einsatzes einer Kamera 25. oder mehrerer Sensoren 8 kann zusätzlich auch die Bewegungsrichtung der die Personenschleuse durchschreitenden Personen detektiert werden. Es ist somit auch möglich das Sperrelement 13 erst dann zu aktivieren, wenn eine Person die Personenschleuse entgegen der erlaubten Richtung passieren will. In einem solchen Fall ergibt sich die Berechtigung somit aus der Richtung, in welcher die jeweilige Person die Personenschleuse durchschreiten will und nicht durch ein zusätzliches Berechtigungselement, wie beispielsweise einer Chipkarte.In the case of the use of a camera 25 or more sensors 8, in addition, the direction of movement of the person sluice passing through people can be detected. It is thus also possible to activate the blocking element 13 only when a person wants to pass the security gate counter to the permitted direction. In such a case, the authorization thus results from the direction in which the respective person wants to pass through the security gate and not by an additional authorization element, such as a chip card.
