A Review on Design and Fabrication of Mechanically Operated Gate System

Abstract

Entryways have become increasingly common in private settings, serving as entrances to enclosed spaces or gaps in fences to regulate passage. Nowadays, many entry gates are operated by automated systems, boasting various advanced features. The demand for automated or mechanically operated doors has been steadily rising. The described automatic gate system is designed to automate entrances to parking lots of residential properties, businesses, and public car parks. It utilizes a mechanically controlled mechanism comprising a base plate connected to an L-shaped rod, which is in turn attached to a pulley fixed on the gate's main body. This setup enables the gate to be raised by spinning the pulley, and it gradually descends with the assistance of a car boot shock absorber when the vehicle's load is removed. This system ensures continuous gate opening and closing without the need for an external power source. While operating the gate manually reduces the burden on individuals, it is designed to function automatically through mechanical movements without requiring external control.
