Abstract

In a security revolving door assembly for persons, comprising one blocking sector (13) and one passage sector (12) or two passage sectors (12), a motor-driven revolving door (10), which can be blocked by means of a braking device controllable by an electronic control unit, is arranged in the door housing. Peripheral identification devices (46, 47) are connected to the electronic control unit. To ensure reliable entry and exit control, blocking, which cannot be overcome at certain angular positions of the revolving door (10), but which always makes it possible to leave the door housing, is provided. This is achieved by means of a blocking disk (23) which is in a rigid rotating connection with the revolving door (10) and has, in a blocking plane, at least one stop face pair (26/1-26/2, 27/1-27/2, 28/1-28/2) with two stop faces (26/1 through 28/2), each acting in one reaction direction. Two stationary locking bolts (24 and 25), which can be brought into blocking position between two stop faces (26/1 through 28/2), are associated with the blocking disk (23). Due to their special arrangement relative to the distance between two stop faces (26/1 through 28/2), the revolving door (10) is freely rotatable through half the sector angle of the passage sector (12) when the locking bolt (24, 25) has dropped in.

Claims

1. A security revolving door assembly, comprising:

a cylindrical door housing including two wall shells which define one blocking sector and one passage sector and leave open two opposite passage openings;

a revolving door passage release member that can be revolved on a vertical central axis of the door housing from defined resting positions and can be driven by a motor, the revolving door including one of plural door flaps and a revolving cylinder with at least a passage opening;

a blocking disk including a circular arc provided around the central axis of the door housing and including at least one pair of stop faces on each side of a bolt receiving region, one stop face acting in a forward direction of said bolt receiving region and one stop face acting in a reverse rotation direction of said bolt receiving region, said blocking disk being in a rigid rotary connection with the revolving door passage release member via one of a gear mechanism and a direct connection two stationary locking bolts which may be selectively individually placed between two stop faces of said pair of stop faces of the blocking disk, the distance between the two stop faces in the bolt receiving region of each stop face pair corresponding to a free wheeling angle which is at least large enough to allow said blocking disk to revolve approximately through half a sector angle defined by the passage sector, when the locking bolt has been placed into the blocking disk; and

, control means for controlling the position of said locking bolts.

2. A security revolving door assembly according to claim 1, wherein said stop faces are formed by the ends of one or more arc-shaped openings of the blocking disk.

4. A security revolving door assembly according to claim 1, wherein said locking bolts provided spaced an angular distance from each other which is greater than the distance angle of between the two stop faces of a stop face pair by at least so much that only one of the two blocking bolts can be placed between two stop faces of one or more stop face pair, at a time.

5. A security revolving door assembly according to claim 1, wherein for each passage release member having more than two defined resting positions, two locking bolts are arranged such that in each defined resting position of the passage release member one of the locking bolts can drop into the blocking disk immediately behind a stop face acting in said reverse rotation direction.

6. A security revolving door assembly according to claim 1, wherein for each revolving door with three or more flaps, the wall shell defining the passage sector extends symmetrically to the resting position of a door flap through a sector angle that is smaller than the door flap angle by at most so much that a maximum difference gap (S) of 20 cm will be obtained.

3. A security revolving door assembly according to claim wherein a member of stop face pairs of one blocking disk corresponds to the number of defined resting positions of the passage release member, the angular distance between individual stop face pairs corresponding to the angular distance of the passage release members.

7. A security revolving door assembly, comprising:

a cylindrical door housing including two wall shells;

a rotatable passage release member that can be revolved on a vertical central axis of the door housing from defined resting positions and can be driven by a motor the passage release member including a revolving door with plural door flaps, said rotatable passage release member cooperating with said wall shells to define a blocking sector and a passage sector;

a blocking disk including a circular arc provided around the central axis of the door housing and including at least one pair of stop faces, one stop face acting in a forward direction and one stop face acting in a reverse rotation direction, said blocking disk being in a rigid rotary connection with the rotatable passage release member to act as an additional blocking device;

two stationary locking bolts which may be selectively individually placed between two stop faces of said pair of stop faces of the blocking disk, the distance between the two stop faces of each stop face pair corresponding to a free wheeling angle which is at least large enough to allow said rotatable passage release member to revolve approximately through half a sector angle defined by the passage sector, when the locking bolt has been placed into the circular arc of the blocking disk; and

, control means for controlling the position of said locking bolts.

8. Security revolving door assembly, comprising:

a cylindrical door housing including two wall shells;

rotatable door means positioned within said cylindrical door housing and cooperating with said wall shells to define movable sectors including a blocking sector in which the door and wall shells prevent ingress and egress from said cylindrical door housing and a passage sector in which one of ingress or egress are possible through one of two opposite passage openings defined by said two wall shelves;

blocking means connected to said door means for rotation therewith, said blocking means including a first stop element and a second stop element;

blocking bolt means including a bolt element selectively positionable between said first stop element and said second stop element for engaging one of said first stop element and said second stop element, said stop elements being positioned allowing rotation of said door by a free wheeling angle which is at least large enough for said rotatable door means to revolve approximately through half a sector angle defined by said passage sector when said blocking bolt means has been selectively positioned between said first and second stop elements; and

, control means for controlling a position of said locking bolt.
