, tripod turnstiles can efficiently control and guide the access crowd for certain buildings or locations.

Tripod turnstile is an entry-level pedestrian gate. Its waist-high cabinet comes with three swivel sticks that enforce a one-person entry/exit at a time. Combined with the, tripod turnstiles can efficiently control and guide the access crowd for certain buildings or locations.

 

1.1 what is a tripod turnstile made of?

Compared with other classes of security turnstiles, tripod turnstiles are simpler in structure. It basically consists of 5 parts: cabinet, three sticks, mechanism, control module and auxiliary components.

Cabinet：

Material of tripod turnstile cabinet is often 304 or 316 stainless steel, while the auxiliary materials include plexiglass, tempered glass, resin, stone, or wood. Turnstiles offer enhanced access control by both sensing and When selecting materials, the following qualities should be taken into account: durability, aesthetic appeal, resistance to deformation, anti-scratch and anti-scratch, resistance to rust and corrosion, and ease of processing and repair.

Mechanism

For reliable funcitoning and silent operation, Macrosafe use more expensive electromagnet or motor drive mechanism instead of lower-cost solenoid mechanism. The mature and stable mechanism ensures that tirpod turnstiles can operate at least 5 million times wiith extremely low maintenance.

Three sticks:

The blocking body of  tripod turnstile is composed of three stainless steel sticks. Each time the control system receives an opening signal, it will be unlocked once, and the blocking body can be rotated 120 degrees to allow a person to pass through.

Turnstile control module:

Microprocessors typically employ single-chip microcomputers; however, if the control system is complex or must be integrated with a large number of other systems (including ticketing systems, access control systems, etc.) and the response time is extremely fast, it is necessary to use higher performance. ARM or possibly Cortex-based CPUs.
The basic control circuit is often implemented by the main control board, the motor control board, and the auxiliary control board, but the complicated control circuit (such as the subway ticket gate) requires a specialized industrial computer to implement additional functions.

Auxiliary components:

Including modules for counting, LED indications, voice prompts, optical detectors, and alarm modules, among others.

Counting module:

utilized to record the number of persons passing by, which may be presented through LED digital tube or display screen, allowing managers to intuitively determine if the management area is overcrowded;

LED indicator:

Typically formed of an LED dot matrix or LED display, it is used to signal the passing status and direction of the gate. Additional prompt information, such as text or patterns, may be customized.

Voice prompt module:

mostly used to notify the user to display the pass certificate, pass status, and other pertinent information.

Alarm system:

used to prompt or warn users and managers to stop illegal behavior. These conditions include abnormal gates, illegal passage, power-on self-test, etc. The alarm methods include buzzer (comparatively common), light, voice, etc.

1.3 What are tripod turnstiles used for?

Thanks to the unique mechanical mechanism of tripod turnstiles, it can force only one person to enter or leave at a time, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of tailgating. Therefore tripod turnstiles are perfect for places that require ticket checking, such as scenic spots, amusement parks, cinemas, gyms, sports centers, etc.
In addition, tripod turnstile can used to refuse unauthorized entry, wrong direction entry, etc., then intelligently manage the flow of people and ensure the safety of the building. It is more compatible with the building alarm system. In the event of a fire or other emergency, the tripod turnstile will automatically unlock, allowing users to leave freely and safely.

1.4 What types of tripod turnstiles are there?

Manual tripod turnstile:

manually operated tripod turnstile is one that is entirely mechanical and devoid of any electrical components. It restricts access in one way and only allows entrance or leave in that direction. Automatically find and reset the system with a swipe of the card. The construction is straightforward, and passing requires only a gentle hand press of the brake lever.

Semi-automatic tripod turnstile:

This improved version of the manual tripod turnstile has one motor or two electromagnets to regulate how the in and out direction is locked and unlocked. When the passage has been given the go-ahead, the positioning arm of the movement is opened, the unlocking arm is driven to unlock by an electromagnet, the release lever may be turned 120 degrees in one direction, and the user can then gently press the lever to pass through the opening. The access authority will be revoked if the user does not pass after verifying the information within the allotted time.

Fully automatic tripod turnstile:

Although it goes by a different name, the fully automatic tripod turnstile is essentially an electric tripod turnstile. A motor is a feature of the fully automatic tripod turnstile, and it powers the turnstile's whole functioning. The power is automatically switched on, which is very convenient to use, at the same time that the motor causes the brake lever to revolve.

The brake lever on the fully automatic tripod turnstile will automatically rotate forward at an angle of around 5 degrees once the card has been swiped, and will then automatically spin and reset after being softly touched by the body. This is due to a motor that powers the completely automated tripod turnstile's inside. The fully automatic anti-tailing effect is excellent, so some places that need to strictly regulate the number of people, such as children's playgrounds, theme parks, cinemas, scenic spots, water parks, gymnasiums, etc. , more inclined to install fully automatic type.

4. How to maintain tripod turnstiles?

1. External maintenance of the equipment:

Most tripod turnstiles are made of domestic SU304 stainless steel. Although 304 stainless steel is anti-rust and anti-corrosion, it does not mean that it is 100% rust-free. If it can be maintained regularly, it can ensure the stable operation of the gate and prolong its service life.

Specific maintenance methods: clean the surface every week, remove dust and acid rain, clean the surface of the main box with a thin cloth, and apply rust inhibitor. Hand touch, otherwise it will destroy the actual effect of surface anti-rust treatment. If the surface is painted, wipe the dust on the lower surface, if there is any scratch, repair it with the same color paint.

2. Maintenance of the movement:

Keeping the equipment's movement in good working order is essential. A monthly maintenance is typically required, where the top cover is opened and the power supply is disconnected. Add butter or high-concentration car oil after cleaning up the dust on it and part of the transmission system.
Make sure that none of the parts are damaged. Whenever the distance between the positioning arm and the positioning plate exceeds 3mm, the positioning arm should be tightened in order to achieve a normal gap of 1-1.5mm.
Inspect the standard parts for looseness and tighten them as necessary.
It is advisable to add butter or car oil to the valve core of the relay moderately, in order to reduce frictional resistance and ensure that the relay is properly lubricated during its up and down motion. Be careful not to overdo it.

3. Maintenance of the internal cables:

Using the prior application as a guide, determine if there is an issue with the motor control component. If there is no issue, check whether the switching power supply is wrapped in several ways, whether the cable is brittle, and whether the

Using the prior application as a guide, determine if there is an issue with the motor control component. If there is no issue, check whether the switching power supply is wrapped in several ways, whether the cable is brittle, and whether the cable has been replaced. If there is no issue, refer to the tripod turnstile's instructions for usage and examine the major parameters everywhere.
