Turnstile

Turnstile

A turnstile, also known as a turnstile, is a channel blocking device or channel management device. The following is a detailed introduction to the gate machine

一、Basic functions and features

Managing the flow of people: the gate machine is mainly used to manage the flow of people and regulate the pedestrian access, and control the flow of people by controlling the switch status of the turnstile or baffle in the gate machine.

One person at a time: The most basic and core function of the gate is to achieve only one person at a time, which can effectively prevent illegal entry and trailing phenomenon.

Wide application scenarios: Gates are widely used in all kinds of places that need to control access, such as subways, railway stations, airports, shopping malls, office buildings, schools, factories, etc.

二、Working principle

The working principle of the gate is mainly realized through the collaborative work of the sensor and the control system. The specific process is as follows:

Sensing: The gate detects the presence and position of personnel through sensors (such as infrared sensors, weight sensors, etc.).

Trigger: When the sensor detects the passage of personnel, it will trigger the control system and send instructions to the actuator of the gate.

Execution: After the actuator (such as the motor, transmission device, etc.) receives the instruction, it will drive the turnstile or baffle of the brake machine to switch on and off.

Control: The control system will accurately control the switching state of the gate according to the preset working mode and rules to ensure the smooth and safe passage.

三、Classify

Classification according to shape and structure: three-roll gate, swing gate, wing gate, Pan-Tilt gate, Speed  gate and so on.

五、Application and examples

Gates play an important role in different application scenarios, the following are some specific examples:

Transportation hub: the import and export control of subway, railway station, bus station and other transportation hubs, for passenger ticket inspection and traffic management.

Public buildings: Entrance management of office buildings, schools, factories, etc., for identity verification and access control of employees, students and visitors.

Commercial places: large shopping malls, supermarkets, exhibition centers and other places with large traffic flow are used for the control and management of customer flow to improve the management efficiency of business sites.

Members-only places: gym, swimming pool and other members-only places, through the gate to achieve automatic identification and access management of members.

Places with high safety requirements: banks, power stations, government agencies and other places with high safety requirements are used to control personnel access and maintain the safety of the place.

六、Sum up

In summary, as an efficient channel management equipment, the gate plays an important role in all kinds of places. The working principle and circuit design take into account the factors such as personnel safety, traffic efficiency and equipment stability to ensure the reliability and safety of the gate.
