All You Need To Know About Biometric Turnstile Manufacturer
Turnstile, a channel blocking device (channel management equipment), is mainly used in urban rail transit management for managing the flow of people and regulating pedestrian access, mainly used in subway gate system, toll check gate system, so the formation of a paid area and non-paid area. Its most basic and core function is to realize only one person passing at a time, which can be used at the entrance channel of various charging and access control occasions.
How Biometric Turnstile Work
There are mechanical, semi-automatic and fully automatic types, depending on the way the movement is controlled. Some manufacturers will refer to the semi-automatic type as electric type and the fully automatic type as automatic type.
1. mechanical type is to control the operation of the blocking body (connected to the movement) by human power, and the mechanical limit controls the stopping of the movement.
2. the semi-automatic type is to control the operation and stopping of the movement by electromagnet.
3. fully automatic type is to control the operation and stop of the movement by the motor.
By controlling the operation and stopping of the movement, it further controls the opening and closing of the blocking body.
According to the number of movement and blocking body contained in the same gate, the gate can be divided into single movement (containing 1 movement and 1 blocking body) and double movement (containing 2 movements and 2 blocking bodies, in a symmetrical form).
According to the different blocking body and blocking way, it can be divided into three roller gates, swing gates, wing gates, panning gates, turn gates, one-way gates, etc.

Parts of turnstile
The basic components of the gate include the box, blocking body, movement, control module and auxiliary module.
Box body
Protects internal components such as movement and control module and plays a supporting role.
The main body material usually adopts 304 or 316 stainless steel, and the auxiliary materials include plexiglass, tempered glass, resin, stone or wood, etc. Selection of materials generally need to consider strong, beautiful, not easy to deformation, anti-scratch and anti-scratch, anti-rust and anti-corrosion, easier to process fixed.
Blocking body
When pedestrians are not allowed to pass, it will be opened and released when pedestrians are allowed to pass. It is generally realized in the form of gate or bar.
Selection of materials generally need to consider strong, can withstand a certain impact, but their own impact on people can not be harmed, weight as small as possible, beautiful, rust and corrosion prevention, easy to process fixed, damage does not hurt people.
Movement
By a variety of mechanical components to form a whole (including drive motors, reducers, etc.), the use of mechanical principles to control the opening and closing action of the blocking body.
The key factors affecting the performance and service life of the movement include the processing technology and material of mechanical components, as well as the most important drive motor and matching reducer.
The drive motor usually adopts DC brush motor or DC brushless motor. DC brush motor cost is lower and the control technology is simpler, but the carbon brush is a wearable part and needs regular maintenance and replacement. DC brushless motor has no carbon brush, there is no such loss, and the service life is longer. If you want to improve the performance and service life of the movement, it is a good choice to use the DC brushless motor with better performance and longer service life, especially the DC brushless motor of the first-tier European brand, whose reliability and durability are beyond the reach of ordinary motors, but the cost is high and the control technology is complicated.
Control Module
The use of microprocessor technology to achieve the control of various electrical components and drive motors.
Microprocessors are generally used microcontrollers, but if the control system is complex, or when it needs to be integrated with many other systems (including ticketing systems, access control systems, etc.), and in the case of high response time requirements, a higher performance ARM processor or even a Cortex processor is required.
Simple control circuits are generally realized by the main control board, motor control board and auxiliary control board, while complex control circuits (such as subway ticketing machines) require the configuration of a special industrial control machine to achieve.
Auxiliary modules
Including LED indication module, counting module, pedestrian detection module, alarm module, permission input module, voice prompt module, etc.
LED indication module
generally consists of LED dot matrix or LED display, which is used to indicate the passage status and direction of the gate, and some also contain text or patterns and other hint information and welcome information.
Counting module
used to record the number of passers, which can be displayed by LED digital tube or display, and can be cleared and set the upper limit of counting.
Pedestrian detection module
used to identify the passage status of pedestrians, determine whether the pedestrians pass legally, and can determine whether the pedestrians are in the range of blocking body movement to protect the personal safety of pedestrians. The performance of the detection module is very critical, affecting the effectiveness and safety of the gate, mainly determined by two factors: hardware – sensors and software – recognition algorithm. Sensors generally use infrared photoelectric switch (more common) or infrared light curtain, infrared photoelectric switch is divided into pairs of the use of the pair of reflective (more common) and a single use of the reflective type.
High-end gates will use more than 10 pairs of imported infrared photoelectric switches, special occasions will use high-performance infrared light curtain or other special sensors. In addition, the recognition algorithm is also very important, different pedestrian height, pace, speed varies, carrying luggage size and location are also varied, but also take into account the continuous passage of multiple people before and after the spacing (anti-trailing), some occasions also consider the situation of bicycle passage, high-end gate manufacturers will generally establish the corresponding mathematical model based on a large number of experimental data, the development of their own recognition algorithm, can effectively identify pedestrians, Luggage and bicycles and other common passage target, and anti-trailing distance can reach 20mm, the indicator depends on the sensor recognition accuracy and algorithm, the ordinary gate anti-trailing distance can only reach 100mm.
Alarm module
the gate will trigger an alarm in various non-normal use conditions, used to prompt or warn pedestrians, managers and maintainers, these conditions include illegal passage, gate abnormalities, power-on self-test, etc. Alarm methods include beeping (more common), lights, voice, etc. (can be used in combination).
Permission input module
pedestrians need to let the gate “know” whether they have legal access before passing, that is, “input” permission for the gate to determine whether it can be released. There are many ways to input, such as non-contact IC card swipe, biometric identification, enter the password, coin, etc., and the simple one is direct button access. The module is generally combined with access control system or ticketing system. In the occasion of free passage there is no need for this module.
Voice prompt module
The voice prompt here is different from the voice alarm in the previous alarm module, mainly used to assist in prompting pedestrian-related information, such as prompting the type of pass tickets, welcome information, etc.. This module is less commonly used and needs to be customized by the user to the manufacturer.
Types of Turnstile
Swing gate
Swing gate, generally known as beat gate in the rail transportation industry, the form of its blocking body (gate pendulum) is a plane with a certain area, perpendicular to the ground, through the rotation of swing to achieve blocking and release. The material of the blocking body is commonly used stainless steel, plexiglass, tempered glass, and some also use metal plates wrapped with special flexible materials (to reduce the impact of pedestrian injury).
From the movement control method is divided into mechanical, fully automatic type. From the form is divided into vertical, bridge, cylindrical, vertical and cylindrical smaller, easy to install, but the channel length is shorter, pedestrian detection module function is limited; bridge swing gate channel is longer, pedestrian detection module function is stronger, security is higher.
