Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric retractable gate technology, specifically relating to an electric gate motor head integrating a barrier gate and an electric retractable gate using the same. Background Technology

[0002] In modern access control systems, electric retractable gates and automatic barriers are two widely used basic pieces of equipment. Electric retractable gates can achieve large-span closure by unfolding multiple gate sections, providing significant anti-theft and isolation effects. However, their opening and closing process requires driving multiple gate sections in a coordinated manner, resulting in slow response and longer waiting times for passage. In contrast, automatic barriers have the advantage of rapid response, with the raising / lowering action completed within 3-5 seconds, significantly reducing vehicle passage time. However, the barrier's lifting arm structure has obvious defects: its interception height is limited, leaving a large gap below the arm, which cannot effectively prevent pedestrians or small objects from crossing, creating blind spots in security control.

[0003] To meet the dual requirements of "strict sealing" and "efficient passage", the industry currently generally adopts a combination of "electric retractable gate + independent barrier gate". Although this solution can achieve both functions, it brings significant drawbacks: the two sets of equipment are installed independently, and the machine heads (drive mechanism, control unit and power supply line, etc.) need to be deployed separately. The cost of equipment procurement, installation, commissioning and subsequent maintenance increases exponentially. In addition, the construction is highly complex, occupies a large space, and is difficult to implement in narrow spaces. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in existing technologies, this utility model aims to provide an integrated electric gate operator and an electric retractable gate using the same, thereby optimizing entrance and exit solutions, simplifying equipment types, and reducing post-maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an electric gate operator with an integrated barrier gate, comprising an operator and a barrier gate integrated on the operator; the operator includes an operator housing and a power mechanism mounted on the bottom of the operator housing, the power mechanism being used to realize the translation of the operator housing on the ground; the barrier gate includes a barrier gate motor fixed in the operator housing but with its power output end extending to the outside, and a barrier gate arm mounted on the power output end of the barrier gate motor, the barrier gate arm extending to the front of the operator housing, the barrier gate motor being used to control the barrier gate arm to lift or lower.

[0006] As a limitation of this utility model, it also includes a control mechanism mounted on the machine head housing, the control mechanism being electrically connected to the power mechanism and the barrier gate motor;

[0007] It also includes a barrier detection radar mounted on the machine head housing for detecting whether a vehicle has passed through, the barrier detection radar being electrically connected to the control mechanism.

[0008] As another limitation of this utility model, the power mechanism has traveling wheels mounted on the bottom of the head housing;

[0009] It also includes a protective cover for shielding the wheels; the inner sides of both ends of the protective cover are fixed with partitions, and multiple rivet nuts are pre-set on the partitions;

[0010] The head housing has a mounting surface that matches the partition plate, and the mounting surface is provided with a plurality of through holes corresponding to the positions of the rivet nuts;

[0011] It also includes bolts that pass through the through hole and are fastened to the rivet nut, the bolts cooperating with the rivet nut to achieve the assembly and fixation of the protective cover on the machine head housing.

[0012] As a further limitation of this utility model, the protective cover includes a panel, side plates fixed on both sides of the panel, and a cover plate fixed on the top of the panel, and the bottom contour of the panel is adapted to the walking wheel.

[0013] The partition is fixed to the side plate, and the connection angle between the partition and the side plate is an acute angle.

[0014] As a third limitation of this utility model, the power mechanism includes a base plate fixed to the bottom of the machine head housing, a drive component mounted on the base plate, and a traveling wheel rotatably mounted on the bottom of the machine head housing, wherein the drive component is connected to the traveling wheel in a transmission manner.

[0015] As a further limitation of this utility model, both the drive component and the traveling wheels include two sets symmetrically arranged, wherein the two sets of traveling wheels are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the bottom of the machine head housing;

[0016] Each set of traveling wheels includes a first traveling wheel and a second traveling wheel that are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the machine head housing, with the first traveling wheel located in front of the second traveling wheel.

[0017] As a further limitation of this utility model, both the first and second traveling wheels are cast aluminum wheels; the driving component is a drive motor.

[0018] As a further limitation of this utility model, the driving component in each group is connected to the walking wheel via a sprocket and a transmission chain.

[0019] This utility model also discloses an electric telescopic gate, including a telescopic gate body and a motor head connected to one end of the telescopic gate body, wherein the motor head is an electric gate motor head of an integrated barrier gate as described above.

[0020] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0021] (1) This utility model innovatively integrates the automatic barrier gate into the electric retractable gate motor head, so that the electric retractable gate motor head also has the function of a barrier gate. Therefore, when choosing the combination scheme of "electric retractable gate + barrier gate" in the modern access control system, there is no need to deploy a separate motor head for the barrier gate, which simplifies the equipment structure, reduces the footprint, and is more conducive to installation in narrow spaces. At the same time, only one motor head needs to be maintained in the later stage, which effectively reduces the later product maintenance cost, enhances product competitiveness, and improves customer satisfaction.

[0022] (2) Currently, electric gate motors on the market are generally composed of a main structure consisting of a main material and a sealing plate. Since the main material occupies internal space, it is impossible to add other structures. This utility model designs the main structure of the motor as a shell structure, which greatly increases the internal space and creates structural space conditions for adding a barrier gate motor.

[0023] (3) In the prior art, the protective cover for the walking wheel is usually installed by drilling self-tapping screws from the outside. It is not easy to accurately position during installation and the product is not aesthetically pleasing. This utility model innovatively adopts a hidden installation method. A partition structure is added to the inner side of both ends of the protective cover, and rivet nuts are pre-set on the partition. The original installation method of drilling self-tapping screws from the outside is optimized to the installation method of bolts from the inside. This installation method first improves the aesthetics of the product. Secondly, the rivet nuts can be smoothly screwed into the bolts only after they are aligned with the through holes on the machine head housing. This achieves accurate positioning and installation of the protective cover, thereby avoiding the problem of friction on the walking wheel caused by improper installation position of the protective cover.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] This embodiment discloses an electric gate operator for an integrated barrier gate, such as... Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment includes a machine head 1 and a barrier gate integrated on the machine head 1.

[0038] The nose cone 1 includes a nose cone housing 4 and a power mechanism 5 assembled within the nose cone housing 4. The nose cone housing 4 is a hollow structure with a removable sealing plate on its front side for future maintenance of the power mechanism 5 inside. The power mechanism 5 is mounted at the bottom of the nose cone housing 4 and is used to enable the nose cone housing 4 to translate horizontally on the ground, such as... Figure 3As shown, the power mechanism 5 includes a base plate 6, a drive component 7, and traveling wheels. The base plate 6 is fixed to the bottom of the machine head housing 4; the drive component 7 is mounted on the base plate 6; the traveling wheels are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the machine head housing 4 and are connected to the drive component 7 via a transmission connection. Driven by the drive component 7, the traveling wheels rotate to achieve forward or backward movement of the machine head 1. In this embodiment, the drive component 7 uses a conventional drive motor, and the traveling wheels are cast aluminum wheels.

[0039] Furthermore, both the drive component 7 and the traveling wheels include two sets arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. The two sets of traveling wheels are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bottom of the head housing 4, and the two sets of drive components 7 are fixedly mounted side by side on the aforementioned base plate 6. In this embodiment, each set of traveling wheels includes a first traveling wheel 8 and a second traveling wheel 9 rotatably mounted on the bottom of the head housing 4. The diameter of the first traveling wheel 8 is larger than the diameter of the second traveling wheel 9, and the first traveling wheel 8 is located in front of the second traveling wheel 9.

[0040] The drive component 7 in each group is connected to the first traveling wheel 8 and the second traveling wheel 9 in that group via a sprocket 11 and a transmission chain 10. The arrangement of the sprocket 11 and the transmission chain 10 is as follows: Figure 4 .

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment... Figure 3 The sprocket 11 and drive chain 10 are not shown in the diagram. In this embodiment, "front," "rear," "left," and "right" are all indicated by... Figure 1 The identifiers in the text are reference benchmarks and are used only for illustration and understanding of this embodiment, and are not intended to limit this embodiment.

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, protective covers 12 are also installed at the bottom of the left and right sides of the machine head housing 4 to cover the traveling wheels, in order to solve the problems of foreign object intrusion, safety protection, and aesthetic concealment. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the protective cover 12 includes a panel 13, side plates 14 fixed on both sides of the panel 13, and a cover plate 15 fixed on the top of the panel 13. The bottom edge contour of the panel 13 is an arc shape adapted to the first traveling wheel 8 and the second traveling wheel 9. In this embodiment, the protective cover 12 adopts a hidden installation method on both sides of the machine head housing 4. Specifically, a partition plate 16 is fixed on each of the side plates 14 at both ends of the protective cover 12. The angle between the partition plate 16 and the side plate 14 is an acute angle. (Refer to...) Figure 8 Multiple rivet nuts 17 are pre-installed on the partition 16; the head housing 4 has a mounting surface 18 that matches the partition 16, such as... Figure 6As shown, the mounting surface 18 is a chamfered bevel on the head housing 4. The mounting surface 18 has multiple through holes 19 corresponding to the positions of the rivet nuts 17. After the protective cover 12 is fastened to the bottom of the head housing 4, aligning the rivet nuts 17 with the through holes 19, bolts are inserted from the inside to secure the bolts to the rivet nuts 17, thus achieving the assembly of the protective cover 12 onto the head housing 4. After assembly and fixing, the outer surface of the protective cover 12 has no exposed screws, bolts, or other fasteners, resulting in a better aesthetic appearance.

[0043] The barrier gate includes a barrier gate motor 3 fixed inside the head housing 4 but with its power output end extending to the outside, and a barrier gate arm 2 mounted on the power output end of the barrier gate motor 3. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the barrier arm 2 extends from the middle of the machine head housing 4 to the front of the machine head housing 4. Under the control of the barrier motor 3, the barrier arm 2 can be raised or lowered.

[0044] This embodiment also includes a control mechanism for controlling the movement of the gate 1 and the barrier gate. The control mechanism is mounted on the gate housing 4 and is electrically connected to the aforementioned power mechanism 5 and barrier gate motor 3. The control mechanism uses a conventional controller (such as a microcontroller or ARM chip) from the prior art. It is used to receive and process various sensor / switch signals, control the start, stop, direction, and speed of the motor, execute preset logic (such as half-open mode, delayed closing, obstacle detection rebound, fire alarm linkage, etc.), and coordinate the timing and interlocking logic of the gate movement and the lifting and lowering of the barrier gate.

[0045] This embodiment also includes a barrier gate detection radar mounted on the machine head housing 4 for detecting whether a vehicle has passed. The barrier gate detection radar is electrically connected to the control mechanism mentioned above. Only after the barrier gate detection radar detects that the vehicle has completely passed will it give a signal and the barrier gate arm will drop to prevent the barrier gate arm 2 from hitting the passing vehicle or pedestrian, thus ensuring high safety.

[0046] This embodiment also discloses an electric retractable gate, including a retractable gate body 20 and a motor head connected to one end of the retractable gate body 20. The retractable gate body 20 is an existing structure, and its structure will not be described in detail in this embodiment. The motor head adopts the electric gate motor head of the integrated barrier gate as described above.

[0047] like Figure 9 As shown, for the opening and closing of frequently used channels, it is only necessary to start the barrier gate motor 3 to control the barrier gate arm 2 to raise / lower; as Figure 10 As shown, for situations requiring large-sized passageways, the barrier gate motor 3 must be started first to raise the lever, and then the drive component 7 must be run to retract the motor head 1, thereby retracting the telescopic gate body 20.

[0048] It should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
