Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of turnstile technology, and more specifically, to a gantry turnstile. Background Technology

[0002] One approach in the industry is to use traditional turnstiles with underground cable routing, resulting in high construction costs. These turnstiles are also very wide and long, occupying a large area. Using traditional 16-24 pairs of through-beam sensors to identify people entering and exiting can easily lead to missed people, people getting trapped, people walking side-by-side, and people and bags separating. Another approach involves independent vertical columns on both sides with external vision systems, while yet another uses a vision module suspended from the top, resulting in an unsightly overall appearance. Furthermore, future adjustments to the turnstiles involve additional ground construction and costly ground filling, and destructive repairs require significant time and disrupt subway operations. Therefore, further improvements to subway turnstiles are necessary. Summary of the Invention

Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the gantry gate structure in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] The annotations in the attached figures are explained as follows: The gate body 10, fixed base plate 11, gantry top beam 20, crossbeam 21, LED guide warning display screen 22, column 30, knocking gate 40, display and interaction device 50, 3D visual logic access module 60, NFC card swiping module 70, and edge gateway wiring module 80. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention is a gantry gate, which, importantly, includes at least two gate bodies 10 arranged in sequence. The outermost two gate bodies 10 are fixedly provided with C-shaped gantry top beams 20 that span the upper side of all the gate bodies 10. A fixed base plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the gate body 10. The gate body 10 can be fixed to the ground by screws or other fixing devices through the fixed base plate 11. The number of turnstile bodies 10 can be set as needed. For example, four turnstile bodies 10 can be set up and arranged in sequence to form a wide entrance and exit and two standard narrow entrances and exits to facilitate the passage of different pedestrians. The number of columns 30 corresponds to the number of gate bodies 10. The lower end of each column 30 is fixedly installed on the side of the corresponding gate body 10, and the upper end of the column 30 is vertically fixed to the lower side of the gantry top beam 20. Each set of flap gates 40 includes two doors, left and right, which are respectively set on two opposite sides of two turnstile bodies 10 by DC brushless servo motors. There is one flap gate 40 between every two turnstile bodies 10. The flap gate 40 has an integrated door motor reducer and brake, and an integrated driver and main control. The design adopts an external motor suspension, which is easy to maintain and replace. The turnstile passage rate reaches 30-50 people / minute. The ticket gate body 10 is electrically connected to the main line in the gantry top beam 20 through a wire routed inside the column 30. The main line of the gantry top beam 20 is electrically connected to an external power supply through a wire. The cable arrangement becomes an upper layout mode through the gantry top beam 20 and no longer routes through the ground at the bottom of the ticket gate, which can prevent the problem of damage to the electrical equipment of the ticket gate caused by rainwater backflow into the station and groundwater problems, solve the problem of the construction of the wire trough for the cross-over line between ticket gates, and thus reduce the construction cost; The upper cross beam 21 of the gantry top beam 20 is set in multiple segments. The length of each segment of the cross beam 21 corresponds to the distance between two columns 30 on every two ticket gate bodies 10. The segments of the cross beam 21 are detachably connected in sequence. The cross beam 21 is set in multiple segments, which is coordinated with the modular setting of components such as the ticket gate body 10 and the column 30. When the equipment is migrated or the scenario is increased or decreased and replaced, the demolition does not affect the ground. The increase or decrease can modularly increase or decrease the channels, and there is no need to damage the ground at the bottom of the ticket gate again, and the installation is convenient.

[0019] The main point of the present invention is that the ticket gate body 10 of the ticket gate is integrally connected through the C-shaped gantry top beams 20 on both sides, and then the entire gantry structure is evenly supported by each ticket gate at the lower end. With the blessing of the "Feng" character mechanical structure design, the ticket gate body 10 can become "as stable as Mount Tai" without being fixed; and the wire routed inside the column 30 of the ticket gate body 10 is electrically connected to the main line in the gantry top beam 20, making the entire gantry and the ticket gate become an integral body, eliminating the need for wire threading through the ground trough, solving the problem of the construction of the wire trough for the cross-over line between ticket gates, and thus reducing the construction cost; and the upper cross beam 21 of the gantry top beam 20 is set in multiple segments, which is coordinated with the modular setting of components such as the ticket gate body 10 and the column 30. When the equipment is migrated or the scenario is increased or decreased and replaced, the demolition does not affect the ground. The increase or decrease can modularly increase or decrease the channels, and there is no need to damage the ground at the bottom of the ticket gate again, and the installation is convenient.

[0020] Further, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, in order to facilitate the disassembly, assembly and modular combination of the gantry top beam 20, both ends of the lower side of the gantry top beam 20 are fixed on the outer-facing surfaces of the two outermost ticket gate bodies 10 by screws, snap fasteners or buckles. The gantry top beam 20 can be easily disassembled and assembled from the ticket gate body 10, which is convenient for construction combination.

[0021] Further, in some embodiments, as Figure 1 shown, in order to facilitate the disassembly, assembly and modular combination of the column 30, the lower end of the column 30 is fixed on the upper side of the corresponding ticket gate body 10 by screws, snap fasteners or buckles, and the upper end of the column 30 is vertically fixed on the lower side of the gantry top beam 20 by screws, snap fasteners or buckles correspondingly. The column 30 can be easily disassembled and assembled from the ticket gate body 10 and the gantry top beam 20, which is convenient for construction combination.

[0022] Furthermore, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the movement and assembly of the gate body 10, rollers are provided on the underside of the fixed base plate 11, so that the gate body 10 can be quickly moved and changed in position, making it convenient for handling.

[0023] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to help people quickly identify and use the device easily, and improve the passage experience, an LED directional warning display screen 22 is installed on the outer side of the upper crossbeam 21 of the gantry top beam 20. The LED directional warning display screen 22 is connected to the main power line inside the gantry top beam 20 through wires. With rich color status, clear voice prompts and local information broadcasts, it helps people quickly identify and use the device easily, and improves the passage experience.

[0024] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate interaction with passengers, each of the columns 30 is fixedly equipped with a display interaction device 50 in the middle. The display interaction device 50 is electrically connected to the main line inside the gantry top beam 20 through a wire.

[0025] More specifically, the display interaction device 50 includes a display screen, a camera face recognition module, and a speaker, which are disposed on the outside of the display interaction device 50 and facing the entrance of the gate body 10. The display screen, camera face recognition module, and speaker are electrically connected to the internal control board of the display interaction device 50 through wires, which can better perform interaction and integrate face recognition, QR code scanning, passenger display, and maintenance touch screen. It can also directly perform voice broadcast, making it more convenient to interact with pedestrians and more convenient for pedestrians to use.

[0026] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent people from being missed or trapped, the upper crossbeam 21 of the gantry top beam 20 is equipped with a downward-facing 3D visual logic passage module 60 at the center of each flap door 40. The visual passage logic is enhanced, and the 3D visual recognition can identify up to 8 targets. The passage logic is enhanced by a high-precision camera, which can accurately identify children's height, distinguish between objects and people, identify adults carrying multiple children, distinguish between people passing side by side, and distinguish between close-range tailgating, which significantly reduces the incidence of accidents such as people being trapped or missed by the flap doors.

[0027] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, to facilitate passenger card swiping for entry, each gate body 10 is equipped with an NFC card swiping module 70. The lower section of the column 30 facing the NFC card swiping module 70 is equipped with a passage indicator light to display the card swiping status. The upper section of the column 30 facing the NFC card swiping module 70 is equipped with a constantly lit LED light to display the usage status of each channel, with green indicating availability and red indicating unavailability. The passage indicator light and the constantly lit LED light are electrically connected to the gate body 10 via wires and are controlled by the gate body 10 to activate and change color.

[0028] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, for ease of installation and maintenance, an edge gateway wiring module 80 is installed on the lower side of one end of the gantry beam 20. The edge gateway wiring module 80 can connect to the cloud. The cloud-integrated IoT software supports standardized processing of the end-side component drivers, providing standardized interfaces and OTA upgrades. It bypasses the end-side component data collection for automatic background analysis and work order assignment. It directly provides an access interface to the cloud, achieving integrated cloud-to-end convergence. Furthermore, the edge gateway wiring module 80 is equipped with a standing touch-screen integrated PAD, and the integrated distribution box integrates network and power circuit breaker and leakage protection functions for centralized control.
