Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barrier gate technology, and in particular to a barrier gate system. Background Technology

[0002] A barrier gate (also known as a vehicle barrier or barrier gate) is a very common and important piece of equipment whose core function is to manage and control the entry and exit of vehicles.

[0003] In the current parking fee collection industry, toll evasion is a common problem. Because the barrier gate itself has anti-collision features, when a vehicle enters under the gate, the ground induction coil or radar installed under the gate will detect the vehicle and trigger the controller to raise the gate, preventing damage to the vehicle. Normally, vehicles pass through the gate one by one, paying in an orderly manner. However, some drivers deliberately exploit the barrier's anti-collision features to forcibly pass through and evade payment, causing significant problems for parking lot operators. Furthermore, if a vehicle follows another to evade payment, and the barrier doesn't rise but instead falls, even if the following vehicle is at fault, disputes can still arise. If a pedestrian or cyclist follows another vehicle through the barrier gate, it's harder to detect, and the barrier may fall and injure them. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a barrier gate system that aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] A barrier gate system includes a base, a rotating mechanism disposed within the base, a barrier gate arm rotatably disposed on the rotating mechanism, and a buffer mechanism disposed below the barrier gate arm. The rotating mechanism is equipped with a first angle sensor. The buffer mechanism includes a buffer rod located below the barrier gate arm, a connecting rod assembly connecting the barrier gate arm and the buffer rod, and a pressure wave rubber pad disposed on the side of the buffer rod away from the barrier gate arm. The buffer rod includes a fixed section fixedly connected to the connecting rod assembly and a deformable section disposed between adjacent fixed sections. The deformable section includes a first fixed rod and a second fixed rod rotatably connected to the two fixed sections respectively, and a rotating block slidably sleeved on the second fixed rod. The rotating block is rotatably connected to the first fixed rod.

[0007] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the rotating block is rotatably connected to the first fixed rod via a rotating shaft, a first torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft, a protrusion is provided at the free end of the second fixed rod, a telescopic rod is provided between the protrusion and the rotating block, a telescopic spring is provided on the telescopic rod, and a second angle sensor is provided on the rotating block.

[0008] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the pressure wave rubber pad is segmented, and multiple segments of the pressure wave rubber pad are respectively disposed on the fixed segment, the first fixed rod, and the second fixed rod.

[0009] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the linkage assembly includes a first hinge seat disposed on the barrier arm, a second hinge seat disposed on the fixed section, a linkage body rotatably disposed between the first hinge seat and the second hinge seat, and a limit switch disposed on the first hinge seat. The limit switch has a trigger tab, and the linkage body is used to trigger the limit switch.

[0010] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, a second torsion spring is provided between the connecting rod body and the first hinge seat, and a limiting boss is also provided on the first hinge seat.

[0011] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating structure disposed in the base and a mounting plate connected to the rotating structure, the barrier arm is fixed to the mounting plate, and the first angle sensor is disposed on the mounting plate.

[0012] According to one aspect of the above technical solution, an extension rod is provided at one end of the connecting rod body near the first hinge seat, and the extension rod is used to contact the trigger paddle.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] By installing a first angle sensor on the rotating mechanism and a buffer mechanism below the barrier arm, which includes a buffer rod, a connecting rod assembly, and a pressure wave rubber pad, when the preceding vehicle passes through the barrier and the following vehicle has paid, the barrier arm will not descend but will continue to open. However, when the following vehicle attempts to follow the preceding vehicle through the barrier without paying, the barrier arm will continue to descend. The first angle sensor will detect that the angle of the barrier arm is very small, meaning that the following vehicle has not paid. Thus, even if the front of the following vehicle has reached below the barrier arm, the signal from the first angle sensor will still control the main control system not to open the arm but to continue lowering it. The pressure wave rubber pad will not cause scratches to the front of the vehicle, while simultaneously causing the connecting rod assembly to shift, preventing the barrier arm from directly contacting the front of the vehicle. Contact with the vehicle in front can damage the front of the car, causing unnecessary disputes and forcing the following vehicle to pay the toll. When a pedestrian or cyclist follows the vehicle through the barrier gate, if the sensor does not detect the pedestrian or cyclist, the barrier gate arm will fall. The pedestrian will be the first to come into contact with the pressure wave rubber pad. The flexible pressure wave rubber pad can buffer the force of the fall to a certain extent. Then, the first and second fixed rods rotate and rise relative to each other, forming a triangle. This ensures that when the barrier gate arm falls, the pedestrian will not bear too much pressure. Instead, the relative rise between the first and second fixed rods will offset part of the force. The rotating block can constrain the movement direction of the second fixed rod, thus preventing the following vehicle from evading the toll and the pedestrian from being damaged by the falling barrier gate arm.

[0025] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0027] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 7The diagram shows a barrier gate system according to a first embodiment of the present invention, including a base 10, a rotating mechanism disposed within the base 10, a barrier gate arm 20 rotatably disposed on the rotating mechanism, and a buffer mechanism disposed below the barrier gate arm 20. The rotating mechanism is provided with a first angle sensor 22. The buffer mechanism includes a buffer rod located below the barrier gate arm 20, a connecting rod assembly 30 connecting the barrier gate arm 20 and the buffer rod, and a pressure wave rubber pad 50 disposed on the side of the buffer rod away from the barrier gate arm 20. The buffer rod includes a fixed section 41 fixedly connected to the connecting rod assembly 30, and a deformable section 42 disposed between adjacent fixed sections 41. The deformable section 42 includes a first fixed rod 421 and a second fixed rod 422 rotatably connected to the two fixed sections 41 respectively, and a rotating block 4222 slidably sleeved on the second fixed rod 422. The rotating block 4222 is rotatably connected to the first fixed rod 421.

[0030] Understandably, by setting a first angle sensor 22 on the rotating mechanism and a buffer mechanism below the barrier arm 20, which includes a buffer rod, a connecting rod assembly 30, and a pressure wave rubber pad 50, when the preceding vehicle passes through the barrier and the following vehicle has already paid, the barrier arm 20 will not descend but will continue to open. However, when the following vehicle attempts to follow the preceding vehicle through the barrier without paying, the barrier arm 20 will continue to descend. The first angle sensor 22 will detect that the angle of the barrier arm 20 is very small, meaning that the following vehicle has not paid. Thus, even if the front of the following vehicle has reached below the barrier arm 20, the signal from the first angle sensor 22 will still control the main control system not to open the arm but to continue lowering it. The pressure wave rubber pad 50 will not cause scratches to the front of the vehicle when it comes into contact with it, and at the same time, it will cause the connecting rod assembly 30 to shift, preventing the barrier arm 20 from directly contacting the barrier. If the front of the vehicle makes contact with the barrier gate, it can damage the front of the vehicle, causing unnecessary disputes and forcing the following vehicle to pay the toll. When a pedestrian or cyclist follows the vehicle through the barrier gate, if the sensor does not detect the pedestrian or cyclist, the barrier gate arm 20 will fall. The pedestrian will first come into contact with the pressure wave rubber pad 50. The flexible pressure wave rubber pad 50 can buffer the force of the fall to a certain extent. Then, the first fixed rod 421 and the second fixed rod 422 rotate and rise relative to each other, forming a triangle. This ensures that when the barrier gate arm 20 falls, the pedestrian will not bear a large pressure. Instead, the relative rise between the first fixed rod 421 and the second fixed rod 422 will offset part of the force. The rotating block 4222 can constrain the movement direction of the second fixed rod 422, so that the following vehicle that evades the toll and the pedestrian following through will not be damaged by the falling barrier gate arm 20.

[0031] It should be noted that this utility model can only ensure that pedestrians located in the deformable section 42 are not harmed. However, the deformable section 42 occupies a larger area than the entire buffer bar. Therefore, the device can cover a large number of emergencies. If the pedestrian is located in the fixed section 41, the linkage assembly 30 will be displaced, which can also effectively reduce the pressure of the impact. Since the front of the vehicle has a large area, when the buffer bar hits the front of the vehicle, the first fixed rod 421 and the second fixed rod 422 will not produce a large angle change. Instead, the entire buffer bar will drive the linkage assembly 30 to move.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating block 4222 is rotatably connected to the first fixed rod 421 via a rotating shaft 4226. A first torsion spring 4227 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 4226. A protrusion 4221 is provided at the free end of the second fixed rod 422. A telescopic rod 4223 is provided between the protrusion 4221 and the rotating block 4222. A telescopic spring 4224 is provided on the telescopic rod 4223. A second angle sensor 4225 is provided on the rotating block 4222.

[0033] Understandably, when the buffer bar strikes a pedestrian, the first fixed bar 421 rotates and rises relative to the fixed section 41 on the left, thereby causing the rotating block 4222, along with the second fixed bar 422, to rise. The rotating block 4222 rotates adaptively to accommodate the sliding of the second fixed bar 422. At this time, both the telescopic spring 4224 and the first torsion spring 4227 deform. After the pedestrian passes through the buffer bar, the first fixed bar 421 and the second fixed bar 422 return to their original positions under the reset action of the telescopic spring 4224 and the first torsion spring 4227. The function of the second angle sensor 4225 is to record the rotation angle of the rotating block 4222. When the rotation angle reaches a preset threshold, it indicates that the pedestrian has been hit by the buffer bar, and the main control system controls the barrier gate 20 to quickly lift to avoid causing greater harm to the pedestrian.

[0034] Furthermore, the pressure wave rubber pad 50 is segmented, with multiple segments of the pressure wave rubber pad 50 respectively disposed on the fixed segment 41, the first fixed rod 421, and the second fixed rod 422.

[0035] Understandably, the pressure wave rubber pad 50 is segmented because the first fixing rod 421, the second fixing rod 422 and the fixing segment 41 rotate relative to each other.

[0036] Furthermore, the linkage assembly 30 includes a first hinge seat 31 disposed on the barrier arm 20, a second hinge seat 32 disposed on the fixed section 41, a linkage body 33 rotatably disposed between the first hinge seat 31 and the second hinge seat 32, and a limit switch 311 disposed on the first hinge seat 31. The limit switch 311 has a trigger paddle 312, and the linkage body 33 is used to trigger the limit switch 311. A second torsion spring 332 is disposed between the linkage body 33 and the first hinge seat 31, and a limiting boss 313 is also disposed on the first hinge seat 31. An extension rod 331 is disposed at one end of the linkage body 33 near the first hinge seat 31, and the extension rod 331 is used to contact the trigger paddle 312.

[0037] Understandably, when the buffer bar hits the front of the car, it will cause the connecting rod body 33 to rotate, bringing the buffer bar closer to the barrier gate arm 20. The displacement of the buffer bar will offset part of the pressure. When the extension rod 331 on the connecting rod body 33 touches the trigger paddle 312, the limit switch 311 will send a signal, and the main control system will control the barrier gate arm 20 to lift up, preventing the barrier gate arm 20 from hitting down further. The function of the limit boss 313 is to prevent the trigger paddle 312 from deforming too much due to the instantaneous impact force, which could cause damage.

[0038] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating structure disposed within the base 10 and a mounting plate 21 connected to the rotating structure. The barrier arm 20 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 21, and the first angle sensor 22 is disposed on the mounting plate 21.

[0039] The rotating structure is located inside the base 10 and consists of a motor, gears, connecting rods, etc. It is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The mounting plate 21 is connected to the rotating structure, and the barrier arm 20 is connected to the mounting plate 21. If the barrier arm 20 is damaged, it can be directly removed from the mounting plate 21 for easy replacement.

[0040] In summary, the barrier gate system described in the above embodiments of this utility model can prevent vehicles evading tolls and pedestrians following behind from being damaged by the falling barrier gate.
