Abstract

A gearing device for discontinuously moving at least two elements, in particular barrier elements of a passageway device, having a drive axis, a first active axis of rotation, formed for a torque-transmitting operative connection with the first element, in particular barrier element, a first non-uniformly translating gearing stage between the drive axis and the first active axis of rotation, a second active axis of rotation formed for a torque-transmitting operative connection with the second element, in particular barrier element, a second non-uniformly translating gearing stage between the drive axis and the second active axis of rotation.

Claims (41)

1. A passageway device for controlling access and/or singularization of individuals comprising a gearing device for discontinuously moving at least two barrier elements, of a passageway device, the gearing device comprising:

a drive axis,

a first active axis of rotation formed for torque-transmitting operative connection to the first barrier element,

a first non-uniformly translating gearing stage between the drive axis and the first active axis of rotation,

a second active axis of rotation formed for torque-transmitting operative connection to the second barrier element,

a second non-uniformly translating gearing stage between the drive axis and the second active axis of rotation, the passageway device formed as a tripod barrier, wherein the at least two barrier elements formed as barrier stiles, which are rotatably supported about a common output axis and are torque-transmitting connected to a respective one of the active axes of rotation of the gearing device.

2. The passageway device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first gearing stage includes a first translation curve, defined as the translation ratio over the angle of rotation of the drive axis,

wherein the second gearing stage includes a second translation curve, defined as the translation ratio over the angle of rotation of the drive axis,

and wherein the first translation curve of the first gearing stage and the second translation curve of the second gearing stage are the same, however, offset to each other with regard to the angle of rotation of the drive axis.

3. The passageway device according to claim 2 , wherein the first translation curve of the first gearing stage and the second translation curve of the second gearing stage are the same, however, offset to each other by 180° with regard to the angle of rotation of the drive axis.

4. The passageway device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a drive wheel is disposed on the drive axis,

wherein on the first active axis of rotation is disposed a first axis of rotation wheel, which is in torque-transmitting operative connection with the drive wheel for forming the first gearing stage,

and on the second active axis of rotation is disposed a second axis of rotation wheel, which is in torque-transmitting operative connection with the drive wheel for forming the second gearing stage.

5. The passageway device according to claim 4 , wherein the drive wheel and the axis of rotation wheels have respective non-round rolling curves.

6. The passageway device according to claim 5 , wherein the rolling curves of the axis of rotation wheels and the rolling curve of the drive wheel are different or the same.

7. The passageway device according to claim 5 ,

wherein, with regard to a respective symmetry axis, the axis of rotation wheels and the drive wheel are symmetric, and along the respective symmetry axis, have a length and, vertically to the symmetry axis, have a width,

and wherein the active axis of rotation is located on the symmetry axis of the associated axis of rotation wheel and/or the drive axis is located on the symmetry axis of the drive wheel.

8. The passageway device according to claim 4 , wherein both axis of rotation wheels comprise rolling curves, which are the same.

9. The passageway device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the first axis of rotation wheel has a first rotation-based changeable effective radius and, the drive wheel has an associated rotation-based changeable drive radius, wherein the sum of the first effective radius and the drive radius is constant during a rotation of the drive wheel,

and/or wherein the second axis of rotation wheel has a second rotation-based changeable effective radius and the drive wheel has an associated rotation-based changeable drive radius, wherein the sum of the second effective radius and the drive radius is constant during a rotation of the drive wheel.

10. The passageway device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the length of the axis of rotation wheels is respectively greater than the width of the axis of rotation wheels,

and/or wherein the length of the drive wheel is smaller than the width of the drive wheel.

11. The passageway device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a hollow output shaft for a torque-proof connection to the first barrier element, wherein the first active axis of rotation is in torque-transmitting operative connection with the hollow output shaft via a third gearing stage,

and an output shaft, which is at least partially disposed in the hollow output shaft, for a torque-proof connection to the second barrier element, wherein the second active axis of rotation is in torque-transmitting operative connection with the output shaft via a fourth gearing stage.

12. The passageway device according to claim 11 , further comprising:

for transmitting torque, a first idler wheel connected to the first axis of rotation wheel and in torque-transmitting operative connection with the hollow output shaft,

and for transmitting torque, a second idler wheel connected to the second axis of rotation wheel and in torque-transmitting operative connection with the output shaft.

13. The passageway device according to claim 1 , comprising an electric motor connected to the drive axis and/or a damping device connected to the drive axis and/or a coupling connected to the drive axis and/or a brake connected to the drive axis.

14. A passageway device for controlling access and/or singularization of individuals comprising a gearing device for discontinuously moving at least two barrier elements, of a passageway device, the gearing device comprising:

a drive axis,

a first active axis of rotation formed for torque-transmitting operative connection to the first barrier element,

a first non-uniformly translating gearing stage between the drive axis and the first active axis of rotation,

a second active axis of rotation formed for torque-transmitting operative connection to the second barrier element,

a second non-uniformly translating gearing stage between the drive axis and the second active axis of rotation,

the passageway device formed as a turnstile wherein the at least two barrier elements formed as turnstile leaves, which are rotatably supported about a common output axis and are torque-transmitting connected to a respective one of the active axes of rotation of the gearing device.
