In-depth analysis of the tripod turnstile: characteristics, advantages and disadvantages and applicable places

In modern public security management and personnel access control systems, the tripod turnstile is widely used for its different designs, convenient use methods and high safety performance. It is a common gate machine. It is like a rigorous doorman, which not only ensures the safety and order of the place, but also optimizes the management of the flow of people. This article will deeply explore the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, applicable places and common faults that may occur of the tripod turnstile, and make a detailed analysis of it.

1. Characteristics of the tripod turnstile

As the name suggests, the main part of the tripod turnstile is composed of three rotatable gate rods, and the motor controls the rotation of the gate rods to achieve traffic control. Each roller can rotate with the center axis as the base point to achieve control of the passing personnel. When the ticket verification is passed, the roller rod is automatically released to allow one person to pass; otherwise, the roller rod is locked and passage is prohibited. Its characteristics are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. High security: The gap between the gate rods of the tripod turnstile is small, which can effectively prevent unauthorized personnel from passing, and can effectively ensure the safety of the installation site.

2. High traffic efficiency: The gate rod rotates quickly, can quickly respond to traffic requests, and reduce waiting time.

3. High degree of intelligence: The tripod turnstile can be connected with various intelligent devices such as card readers and access control systems to achieve automatic identification and control.

4. Strong durability: Made of high-strength materials, the structure is sturdy and can withstand long-term use and various harsh environments.

5. Anti-tailing: The structure of the tripod turnstile determines that it is difficult to be illegally crossed, effectively avoiding the occurrence of tailing.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of the tripod turnstile

Advantages:

1. Simple structure and easy maintenance.

2. High traffic efficiency, suitable for places with large traffic flow.

3. High security, can effectively prevent illegal passage.

4. Low maintenance cost: Due to the simple structure, daily maintenance and cleaning are more convenient than other types of gates.

Disadvantages:

1. The tripod turnstile has a small channel, which is inconvenient for pedestrians carrying large luggage or special items.

2. The gate rod may generate a certain amount of noise when it turns.

3. Relatively low traffic efficiency: Only one person is allowed to pass at a time, which is not suitable for scenes where a large number of people need to be released quickly.

3. Places where tripod turnstiles are used.

Due to their fast and safe characteristics, tripod turnstiles are widely used in the following places:

1. Transportation hubs such as railway stations and airports are used to control the passage of entrances and exits.

2. Public places such as office buildings, schools, and hospitals are used to manage the entry and exit of managers.

3. Entertainment venues such as exhibition halls, gymnasiums, and amusement parks are used to control the entry and exit of spectators.

4. Factories, construction sites, and other places are used to manage workers to open records when they go to work.

4. Vulnerable failures and countermeasures of tripod turnstiles

During use, tripod turnstiles may encounter the following vulnerable failures:

1. Motor failure: The motor is the core component of the tripod turnstile. Once a failure occurs, the gate rod may not rotate normally. The countermeasure is to regularly check the working status of the motor and replace damaged parts in time.

2. Card reader failure: The card reader is a key device connecting the tripod turnstile and the access control system. If a failure occurs, the pass card may not be recognized normally. The countermeasure is to regularly check the operating status of the card reader and clean and replace the damaged card reader in time.

3. Gate lever failure: The gate lever may be damaged due to wear or external impact during long-term use. The countermeasure is to regularly check the status of the gate lever and replace the damaged gate lever in time.

4. Sensor failure: If the sensor fails, the gate lever may not accurately respond to the opening and closing instructions. Solving this problem usually requires adjusting or replacing the sensor.

5. Circuit board damage: Once the circuit board fails, the entire system may be paralyzed. At this time, stop using it immediately and repair or replace the circuit board.

6. Mechanical jamming: Mechanical jamming may occur due to the intervention of foreign objects or wear of internal parts, and strange objects need to be cleaned or worn parts need to be replaced.
