Gate structure

An improved gate structure configured to be installed at an entrance and exit of a building and comprising:

• a plurality of gate panels;
• at least two frame bodies disposed at said entrance and exit and spaced apart from each other so that an accommodation space is defined between said frame bodies, each of said frame bodies having a channel, each of said gate panels being put in said accommodation space when two end sections of each of said gate panels are inserted into respective channels of said frame bodies;
• at least one driving portion configured to move said gate panels;
• and
• a storing portion installed at said entrance and exit;
• wherein said storing portion is adjacent to said frame bodies, an interior of said storing portion defining a storage space and being extended in a first direction, said driving portion including a driving assembly, at least two clamping assemblies, and at least two conveyor units, each of said conveyor units being disposed in said storage space and said channel of each of said frame bodies, said conveyor units being each put around said driving assembly so that a conveying operation of said conveyor units is carried out by operating said driving assembly, at least two track regions being formed, with each of said track regions formed in said storage space and said channel, each of said clamping assemblies being connected to one side of each of said conveyor units when each of said clamping assemblies is situated at each of said track regions, each of said clamping assemblies including a clamping portion capable of sticking out to execute an outward jutting operation;
• wherein the outward jutting operation of said clamping portion is triggered by said driving assembly so that respective clamping portions of said clamping assemblies clamp each of said gate panels after said respective clamping portions stick out, said clamping assemblies being moved when said driving assembly is in operation to execute the conveying operation of said conveyor units, thereby conveying each clamped gate panel from said storage space to said accommodation space or from said accommodation space to said storage space, the conveyance to said accommodation space allowing said gate panels to be sequentially stacked in said accommodation space for closing said entrance and exit, the conveyance to said storage space allowing said gate panels to be sequentially stored in said storage space for opening said entrance and exit.
