Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of access control technology, specifically to an access control machine. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, public security has become a major concern. Traditional security measures such as passwords, personal identification codes, magnetic cards, and keys are no longer sufficient. Access control systems can control personnel entry and exit, as well as their behavior in sensitive areas. Card readers, fingerprint readers, and keypads require a card, a correct password, or a specific finger to grant access. Access control systems effectively manage door opening and closing, ensuring authorized personnel have free access while restricting unauthorized personnel from entering.

[0003] Currently, most access control machines on the market are equipped with displays. However, these displays are often directly exposed to the external environment, especially in rainy or snowy weather. Rainwater or melting snow may seep into the equipment through gaps, causing the display and other electronic components to become damp, short-circuited, or damaged, seriously affecting the normal use and lifespan of the access control system.

[0004] To address this issue, the common approach in existing technologies is to install a simple rain cover above the access control machine in an attempt to block some of the direct impact of rainwater. However, this simple rain cover has a relatively basic design and limited protection range. When faced with heavy rain, continuous snowfall, or strong winds carrying rain, snow, or dust, its shielding effect is clearly insufficient.

[0005] Therefore, we proposed an access control machine to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Example like Figure 1-6 As shown in the figure, an access control machine according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an access control device 1 and a turnstile device 3. The access control device 1 is connected to the front side of the turnstile device 3, and a protective structure 2 is provided on the outer side of the access control device 1.

[0017] The access control device 1 includes an access control panel 101, the surface of which is provided with a mounting recess 102, and an access control display screen 103 is rotatably connected inside the mounting recess 102. The top of the access control panel 101 is provided with an insertion slot 111. The protective structure 2 includes a horizontal plate 201, a protective cover 202 is installed on the front side of the horizontal plate 201, the back side of the protective cover 202 is in contact with the front side of the access control display screen 103, and an insertion rod 203 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the horizontal plate 201. The surface of the insertion rod 203 has two limiting holes 207.

[0018] The design of two limiting holes 207 allows the horizontal plate 201 to have two lifting positions. When it is necessary to adjust the tightness of the fit between the protective cover 202 and the access control display screen 103 to adapt to different environmental needs, the insertion rod 203 can be inserted into the insertion slot 111 to the depth corresponding to different positions, and then the limiting pin 205 can be inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 207 to achieve stable positioning. For example, in windy and dusty weather, the protective cover 202 can be lowered to a position closer to the access control display screen 103 to enhance the shielding effect. When maintenance is required on the access control display screen 103, it can be adjusted upwards to a slightly higher position for easy operation.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a cooling fan 104 is provided inside the mounting recess 102. The cooling fan 104 is located behind the access control display screen 103, and dustproof nets 105 are provided on both the air inlet side and the air outlet side of the cooling fan 104.

[0020] Specifically, the cooling fan 104 forms an effective air circulation channel behind the access control display screen 103. When the access control machine works for a long time, the access control display screen 103 and its internal electronic components will generate heat. After the cooling fan 104 is started, it can accelerate the air flow, draw in the heat from the air inlet side and then expel it from the air outlet side, thereby effectively reducing the internal temperature of the access control machine and preventing the performance and lifespan of the electronic components from being affected by excessive temperature.

[0021] Meanwhile, the dustproof nets 105 installed on the air inlet and outlet sides can block external dust from entering the installation recess 102, preventing dust from adhering to the access control display screen 103 and electronic components, affecting their normal operation and heat dissipation, and further ensuring the stable operation of the access control machine.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, an alarm 106 is provided on the side of the access control panel 101, and a fingerprint reader 107, a numeric keypad 108, a card reader 109 and a speaker 110 are provided on the surface of the access control panel 101.

[0023] Specifically, the alarm 106 can promptly sound a loud alarm when the access control machine encounters abnormal situations. For example, when unauthorized personnel forcibly enter or multiple incorrect passwords are entered, the alarm 106 will quickly activate, attracting the attention of surrounding personnel and serving as a warning and deterrent, effectively enhancing the security of the access control system.

[0024] The fingerprint reader 107 verifies the user's identity by collecting and recognizing the user's fingerprint information. Only users whose fingerprints have been pre-registered and successfully matched can be allowed to pass. This identification method is unique and convenient, improving the security and user experience of the access control system.

[0025] The numeric keypad 108 provides users with another way to enter passwords. Users can open the access control system by entering a preset password on the numeric keypad 108, which increases the diversity of identity verification and meets the usage habits and needs of different users.

[0026] The card reader 109 can read specific card information, such as access cards and employee cards. Users only need to bring the card close to the card reader 109, and the system can quickly identify the card information and determine whether passage is allowed.

[0027] Speaker 110 is used to play voice prompts, such as when a user performs fingerprint recognition, enters a password or swipes a card, speaker 110 can play corresponding operation prompts to guide the user to use the access control machine correctly; Meanwhile, in the event of a malfunction or abnormal situation in the access control system, the speaker 110 can also promptly play an alarm voice to remind relevant personnel to handle the situation.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a connecting plate 204 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insertion slot 111. A limiting pin 205 is provided inside the connecting plate 204. The front end of the limiting pin 205 extends to the outer side of the access control panel 101. A reset damping spring 206 is provided between the back side of the limiting pin 205 and the connecting plate 204. The back side of the limiting pin 205 passes through the connecting plate 204 and extends into the limiting hole 207 opened inside the insertion rod 203.

[0029] Specifically, the limit pin 205 can be firmly locked in the limit hole 207 to prevent the insertion rod 203 from accidentally sliding out of the insertion slot 111, thereby ensuring that the protective cover 202 effectively shields and protects the access control display screen 103, so that the access control machine can operate stably and reliably under various harsh weather conditions.

[0030] When the protective structure 2 needs to be installed on the access control device 1, simply insert the insertion rod 203 at the bottom of the horizontal plate 201 into the insertion slot 111 at the top of the access control panel 101. During the insertion process, the insertion rod 203 will squeeze the tail end of the limiting pin 205, causing the limiting pin 205 to extend to the outside of the access control panel 101, while compressing the reset damping spring 206.

[0031] When the insertion rod 203 is fully inserted into the insertion slot 111 and the limiting hole 207 on the surface of the insertion rod 203 is aligned with the limiting pin 205, the reset damping spring 206 will release elastic potential energy, pushing the limiting pin 205 to move backward, so that its back side passes through the connecting plate 204 and extends into the limiting hole 207, thereby realizing a quick and stable connection between the protective structure 2 and the access control device 1.

[0032] When the protective structure 2 needs to be disassembled for routine maintenance or repair, simply pull the limit pin 205 outward to disengage it from the limit hole 207, and then lift the horizontal plate 201 upward to pull the insertion rod 203 out of the insertion slot 111, thus completing the disassembly of the protective structure 2. The operation is convenient and quick, improving the maintenance efficiency of the access control machine.

[0033] When in use, the user first approaches the access control machine according to their own needs. If the fingerprint recognition method is selected, the user places the pre-recorded finger on the fingerprint reader 107. The fingerprint reader 107 quickly collects the fingerprint information and compares it with the fingerprint data stored in the system. If the match is successful, the system determines that the user is an authorized user. At this time, the speaker 110 will play a voice prompt, and the gate device 3 will open, allowing the user to pass smoothly. If the fingerprint does not match, the speaker 110 will issue an error alarm. If multiple attempts still fail, the alarm 106 will sound an alarm to attract the attention of people nearby.

[0034] If the user chooses to enter a password, they can enter the preset password on keypad 108. After entering the password, the system will verify it. If the verification is successful, the gate will open and a welcome voice will be played. If the password is incorrect, the user will be prompted to re-enter it. Multiple incorrect attempts will trigger an alarm.

[0035] When a user has an access card or employee card, they simply need to bring the card close to the card reader 109. The card reader 109 quickly reads the card information and transmits it to the system for judgment. Authorized cards can open the gate, while unauthorized cards cannot pass through, and a corresponding prompt will be displayed.

[0036] When the access control display screen 103 needs to be repaired, the staff first pulls the limit pin 205 outward to make the limit pin 205 retract from the limit hole 207, thereby releasing the limit on the insertion rod 203.

[0037] Then, lift the horizontal plate 201 upwards and pull the insertion rod 203 out of the insertion slot 111. In this way, the protective structure 2 is removed, and the access control display screen 103 is fully exposed, making it convenient for staff to conduct a comprehensive and detailed inspection to check for problems such as loose wiring or damaged components. If any problems are found, the damaged parts can be repaired or replaced in a timely manner.

[0038] After the maintenance is completed, following the steps of installing the protective structure 2, insert the insertion rod 203 at the bottom of the horizontal plate 201 into the insertion slot 111, and use the limit pin 205 and the reset damping spring 206 to achieve a quick and stable connection, so that the protective cover 202 is reattached to the front of the access control display screen 103 to continue to provide protection for it.

[0039] In summary, by setting up the protective structure 2 and using the protective cover 202 to completely shield the access control display screen 103, the direct invasion of external harsh environmental factors such as rain, snow, and sand is effectively blocked, avoiding access control system failures caused by moisture, short circuits, or damage to the display screen. This improves the stability and durability of the access control machine under harsh weather conditions. At the same time, the insertion rod 203 cooperates with the insertion slot 111 and the limit pin 205 on the access control panel 101 to achieve quick and stable installation and disassembly, facilitating daily maintenance and repair, and further enhancing the practicality and convenience of the access control machine.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the access control display screen 103, cooling fan 104, alarm 106, fingerprint reader 107, numeric keypad 108, card reader 109, and speaker 110 in the access control machine need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0041] Furthermore, the power supply and operating principles of the access control display screen 103, cooling fan 104, alarm 106, fingerprint reader 107, numeric keypad 108, card reader 109, and speaker 110 in the access control machine are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Furthermore, the working principles and wiring methods of the access control display screen 103, cooling fan 104, alarm 106, fingerprint reader 107, numeric keypad 108, card reader 109, and speaker 110 in the access control machine are commonplace and belong to conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0043] It should be noted that parts have a lifespan and can be replaced during regular maintenance when they no longer meet performance requirements. Deterioration in performance due to prolonged use of parts is not a design defect of this application.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
