ES2261089A1 - Wrist band reader/collector for controlling access to enclosed spaces, has storage box for receiving wrist bands not reused and collection tray for receiving reused wrist bands - Google Patents

Abstract

The wrist band reader/collector has a module (1) consisting of three levels (n1-n3) containing a read device. The bottom level (n3) contains a storage box (31) not accessed by the user and receiving wrist bands (2) not reused and a collection tray (32) accessed by the user and receiving reused wrist bands.

Description

Addition to patent P200402584: "Wristband reader-recuperator, for control of Access".

The present invention is about a wristband reader-recuperator, for control of Access. Said reader is external to any control element of accesses and with it what can be activated are elements such as turnstiles, door locks or any item that is Can control by electrical signals.

Access controls with readers are already known of wristbands or cards. EP0555303; W099 / 14456 and EP1236182, among many others, are examples of this technology.

In the current state of the art, or the reader and the access lathe itself form an inseparable unit (as, for example, in EP1236182) or based on a only reading, which is clearly detrimental to security system integral; since the user never stops having the real possibility of accessing the wristband (which makes it easily manipulated).

The object of the invention overcomes this limitation, since that:

a) presents independent modular configuration of the access itself with which it relates. The same module can be used successively to control different accesses;

b) has several levels of security, with several successive phases of work during at least one of the which the user does not have the possibility of accessing the wristband (and therefore can not manipulate or alter the process without being detected and indicated the process failure).

The reader-recuperator of wristbands, for access control, according to the invention, presents independent configuration of the access itself and consists of a module with at least three levels and in them at least one reading and various position sensors:

a) having a first level on the first level cavity to insert the wristband; with means to carry out the reading on it and admit it by directing it to the second level if it has inserted the right wristband and is in the correct position, or reject it and return it to the user otherwise;

b) having a second level on the second level cavity, which is accessed by the correct wristband in the correct position, activating the corresponding device to allow or block user access; and means to check the type and status of Wristband reuse and send it to

c) a third level (n_ {3}), in which It has a warehouse, inaccessible to the user, to which the wristband if it is no longer reusable; and a collection tray, accessible to the user, which the wristband arrives in case contrary.

It is also characterized because:

- there are, on the said first level, about position sensors to prevent fraudulent extraction of the wristband, a monobasculant unidirectional trapdoor through which access the correct wristband in the correct position, from the aforementioned first level until the aforementioned second level, after a reading correct;

- a second level is provided unidirectional polibasculant hatch by which, depending on its pivot angle and after the corresponding order issued by a PC or a controller, access the wristband from the said second level either to the aforementioned warehouse or to the aforementioned collection tray, both located on said third level;

- all information generated in the reading is send to a PC or controller to manage it and, depending on the programming, decide what to do with the wristband and with the control of access, generating, in any of the phases, the corresponding information to the user, using optical and / or acoustic means;

- in case of attempted fraudulent extraction of the wristband, this will be detected by the sensors and indicated by acoustic media

To better understand the purpose of this invention, a preferred form of practical realization, susceptible to accessory changes that do not distort its foundation.

Figure 1 schematically represents a general view of a reader-recuperator of wristbands, for access control according to the invention.

Figure 2 represents a block diagram of the wristband reader-recuperator, for control of Access object of the invention.

An example of practical, non-limiting embodiment of the present invention.

The object of the invention is a wristband reader-recuperator, for control of accesses, structured in a module (1) independent of its own access and presenting at least three different levels (n_ {1}), (n_ {2}), (n_ {3}) in which at least one reading is made and checked with at least four position sensors (S_ {1}), (S_ {2}) the situation of the wristband (2).

According to the invention -see figure 1-, it is arranged in the first level (n_ {1}) of the module (1) a first cavity (11), freely accessible, where the user deposits the wristband (2) and means (m_ {1}) for reading the wristband (2) and discriminate if a correct wristband (2) has been inserted in correct position, to admit or reject it, indicating the user the reason for rejection: incorrect wristband (2) (so that insert another) or wristband (2) badly positioned (so that the positions correctly). Furthermore said cavity (11) has the position sensors (S_ {1}) necessary to prevent extraction fraudulent wristband.

According to the invention -see figure 1- is arranged in the module (1) a second cavity (21) located in the second level (n_ {2}) and accessible exclusively through the first cavity (11) and of a consequent unidirectional trapdoor (T_ {1}) located on the first level (n_ {1}). The above means (m_ {1}) to make the reading can be a reading antenna arranged in the trapdoor (T_ {1}). In said second cavity (21) is deposited the wristband (2) if (and only if) is the wristband (2) correct and is in the right position As soon as the wristband (2) is detected in the said second cavity (21) closes the trapdoor (T1) and It makes it impossible for the user to remove the wristband (2).

Said second cavity (21) has associated means (m_ {2}), (m'2) for, depending on the orders received by the PC or controller, discriminate whether the wristband (2) is or not reusable, as well as whether or not its reuse is exhausted before and / or after activating the corresponding device (22) to allow or not a next access to the user. The situation of the wristband is detected by a sensor (S_ {2}).

According to the invention -see figure 1- is arranged in the module (1) a warehouse (31) and a collection tray (32) both located on a third level (n_ {3}), with accessible entrance exclusively, through the second cavity (21) and a unidirectional hatch (T2) consequently, both located in the second level (n_ {2}). The tray (32) has a free exit accessible to the user and the warehouse (31) is inside (accessible only to authorized personnel by key (31a) when the system is not working).

The unidirectional trapdoor (T2) is polibasculante and, after the order of a PC or a controller, drive the wristband (2) to the output tray (32) if it is reusable and not sold out or to the warehouse (31) in case contrary. All information (which is generated in the reading) is sends to said PC or controller to manage it and, according to its programming, decide what to do with the wristband (2) and with the access control (22), generating (in any of the phases) the corresponding information (i) using optical means (viewfinder) and / or acoustic (beeps or alarms).
