Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fence technology, specifically a queuing fence device for scenic spots. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the tourism industry, the number of tourists in various scenic spots, theme parks, museums and other public places continues to grow. Especially during holidays or popular attractions, it is common for tourists to queue to enter. In order to ensure the safety of tourists, maintain good order and improve the visitor experience, it is particularly important to set up a scientific and reasonable queue management system. Among them, queue guidance fences, as the core facility for organizing the flow of people, are widely used in various scenic spot entrances and exits, ticket check channels, waiting areas for popular attractions and other scenarios.

[0003] Currently, most queuing barriers used in scenic areas are fixed or modular structures, typically consisting of multiple straight or curved sections connected sequentially to form S-shaped or other winding passages to extend queuing paths and control pedestrian density. However, these traditional barrier systems have several limitations: First, their fixed structure makes it difficult to dynamically adjust the passage's direction and length according to real-time visitor flow, leading to insufficient queuing space during peak hours and wasted passage resources during off-peak hours (the reason for adjustment is that when visitor flow is low, tourists need to walk through a longer passage); second, there is a lack of effective means to monitor the number of people entering and exiting, making it difficult for managers to roughly grasp the current number of people queuing and the passage efficiency; third, the connection between barriers mostly relies on manual disassembly and assembly or bolt fixing, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and has a slow response speed. Therefore, a scenic area queuing barrier device is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a queuing fence device for scenic spots. By setting entry and exit sensors at the entrance and exit of the curved passage, the approximate number of people in the queuing fence is monitored. A rotating fence is set in the main fence, and the length of the curved passage can be adjusted according to the corresponding number of people, so as to realize the flexible configuration of the flow passage.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A queuing fence device for scenic spots, comprising multiple rows of main fences and multiple end fences, with a curved channel with entrances and exits formed between the main fences and the end fences, and further comprising:

[0012] Furthermore, the rotary drive mechanism includes a fixed toothed ring fixed to the outside of the upright, a drive device is mounted on the rotating body, and a rotary gear that meshes with the fixed toothed ring is mounted on the output shaft of the drive device.

[0013] Furthermore, the fences at the cross ends of the rotating fence are all fixed fences, with a horizontal fixing mechanism installed on one of the fixed fences on the X-axis and a vertical fixing mechanism installed on one of the fixed fences on the Y-axis.

[0014] Furthermore, both the horizontal and vertical fixing mechanisms include mounting seats on the fixed fence. The side of the mounting seat is provided with an abutment seat that can abut against the rotating fence body. An automatic pin that can move through the mounting seat is installed on the mounting seat. A contact sensor is embedded in the side of the abutment seat that abuts against the rotating fence body.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-7As shown in this embodiment, a scenic area queuing fence device includes a main fence 1, end fences 2, a curved passage 3, an entry sensor 4, and an exit sensor 5. There are multiple main fences 1 and end fences 2 to accommodate different shapes and lengths of curved passages 3. The main fences 1 and end fences 2 are connected in sequence to form a curved passage 3 with entrances and exits, which guides tourists to queue in an orderly manner. The curved passage 3 is S-shaped or multi-zigzag, and can be flexibly arranged according to the actual site and passenger flow needs.

[0031] Furthermore, the entry sensor 4 is installed at the entrance of the curved passage 3 to monitor the number of tourists entering the passage in real time, and the exit sensor 5 is installed at the exit of the curved passage 3 to monitor the number of tourists leaving the passage. This allows for a general assessment of the range of tourists inside the passage, providing scientific data support for scenic area managers. It also helps to achieve visitor flow early warning, rational allocation of service resources, and improve management efficiency and tourist experience. In this embodiment, the entry sensor 4 and the exit sensor 5 are preferably infrared sensors or visual cameras, installed close to the ground to reduce ambient light interference and adapt to the accuracy of detecting people passing through at different heights.

[0032] This design allows the backend system to calculate the number of people remaining in the passage in real time by comparing the difference between the number of people entering and leaving, and transmit the data to the scenic area management platform to achieve visitor flow monitoring and early warning. It should be noted that the backend system and the scenic area management platform are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Furthermore, the inner main fence 1 is composed of a fixed fence 10 and a rotating fence 11. In this embodiment, the outermost two rows of main fences 1 and the end fences 2 are all composed of fixed fences 10. With this design, the rotating fence 11 can be set inside the curved channel 3, thereby changing the length of the curved channel 3 by rotating it.

[0034] In addition, the rotating fence 11 includes a rotating fence body 110 that can rotate from the center. The length of the rotating fence body 110 is adapted to the length of the two fixed fences 10, and the spacing between the main fences 1 is adapted to the length of the fixed fences 10.

[0035] This design allows the width of the curved channel 3 to adapt to the rotation requirements of the rotating barrier 110, and the rotation of the rotating barrier 110 can achieve the effects of opening in the curved channel 3 and blocking the original path.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating fence 11 further includes a pole 111 fixed to the ground, a rotating groove 112 provided on the pole 111, and a mounting hole 113 for rotating the rotating fence body 110 onto the rotating groove 112 at the center, so that the rotating fence body 110 can rotate on the pole 111. A bearing can be provided between the rotating groove 112 and the rotating fence body 110 to improve the smoothness of rotation.

[0037] In addition, pulleys 117 are provided at the bottom of both ends of the rotating fence 110. The pulleys are in contact with the ground and roll as the fence rotates.

[0038] In addition, a rotation drive mechanism is provided between the rotating fence body 110 and the upright post 111. The rotation drive mechanism includes a fixed toothed ring 114 fixed outside the upright post 111, a drive device 115 is installed on the rotating fence body 110, and a rotating gear 116 that meshes with the fixed toothed ring 114 is installed on the output shaft of the drive device 115.

[0039] With this design, when the drive device 115 is started, it drives the rotating fence 110 to rotate around the upright 111 through gear transmission. In this embodiment, the drive device 115 is composed of a motor and a reducer. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the rotating fence 110 is ninety degrees.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the fences at the cross ends of the rotating fence 11 are all fixed fences 10. One of the fixed fences 10 on the X-axis is provided with a horizontal fixing mechanism 12, and one of the fixed fences 10 on the Y-axis is provided with a vertical fixing mechanism 13, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotating fence 110 in both state angles.

[0041] The horizontal fixing mechanism 12 and the vertical fixing mechanism 13 have the same structure, both including a mounting base 120 set on the fixed fence 10. The side of the mounting base 120 is provided with an abutment seat 121 that can abut against the rotating fence body 110. An automatic pin 122 that can move through the mounting base 120 is installed on the mounting base 120, which can be an electric push rod. A contact sensor 123 is embedded in the side of the abutment seat 121 that can abut against the rotating fence body 110, for detecting whether it is in contact with the rotating fence body 110.

[0042] In addition, a fixing seat 118 corresponding to the horizontal fixing mechanism 12 and the vertical fixing mechanism 13 is provided on the top of one end of the rotating gate body 110. The fixing seat 118 is provided with a pin hole that matches the automatic latch 122.

[0043] With this design, when the rotating fence 110 is rotated to a horizontal or vertical position and aligned with the corresponding fixed fence 10, the abutment 121 first contacts the fixed seat 118, triggering the contact sensor 123. The control system then controls the automatic latch 122 to extend and insert into the pin hole, thus achieving mechanical locking.

[0044] It should be noted that, since the horizontal fixing mechanism 12 and the vertical fixing mechanism 13 are installed in different positions, the specific connection shape between the abutment seat 121 and the mounting seat 120 is determined according to the effect to be achieved in the specific installation position.

[0045] Furthermore, a ring proximity sensor 119 is provided on the through side of the pin hole to detect whether the automatic latch 122 is fully inserted, ensuring reliable locking. This signal can be fed back to the central control system to realize status monitoring and remote management.

[0046] In summary, the device can be described as follows:

[0047] Initially: After assembly, the device has an "S-shaped" or "multi-zigzag" curved channel 3;

[0048] Passenger flow monitoring: Ideally, the number of people staying should equal the number of people entering and the number of people leaving. The system can then issue warnings about peak passenger flow or idle resources. Furthermore, visitors are prohibited from moving back and forth between the entry sensor 4 and the exit sensor 5 to avoid errors.

[0049] The scenario requirements are as follows:

[0050] Peak passenger flow: The passageway needs to be extended; this device, for example... Figure 1 As shown;

[0051] During off-peak hours: The passageway needs to be shortened; the rotating barrier 110 should be rotated 90°. This device... Figure 2 As shown;

[0052] The operation steps are as follows:

[0053] Start the drive device 115. The drive device 115 drives the rotating gear 116 to rotate along the fixed gear ring 114, so that the rotating fence 110 rotates 90° around the upright 111. During rotation, the pulley 117 assists in smooth rotation. Subsequently, locking is completed by the horizontal fixing mechanism 12 or the vertical fixing mechanism 13.

[0054] Safety mechanisms: When the rotating barrier 110 is being adjusted, visitors are prohibited from entering the adjustment area through means such as manual monitoring or notification.

[0055] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
