[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to an evacuation guidance device for hotels, etc. (prior art). There are ways to convey information to evacuees using light and sound.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Conventional evacuation guidance devices in hotels communicate the correct or incorrect direction of evacuation to evacuees using light and sound. It has not always been possible to provide sufficient evacuation guidance instructions when hearing cannot function adequately due to noise or when guiding evacuees who have hearing and visual impairments.

The present invention aims to provide appropriate evacuation guidance to each guest in the hotel even in such a case.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention includes a receiving section that includes an antenna and a receiver that receive code information from a transmitter, a memory that stores the code information, and code information that has been received just before. a memory that stores the location of multiple transmitting devices, and an electronic computer (hereinafter referred to as CPU) that determines the direction of evacuation guidance and outputs a signal based on the information from these memories. a determination unit that receives the signal and drives the sounding body; an output unit that receives the signal and receives the signal and drives the sounding body; a driver that receives the signal and drives the low frequency vibration generating body; and a guide rail. a pickup section that receives signals from the
A driving unit that drives a display unit that displays the evacuation guidance direction based on the same signal, a standing light for the hotel that is equipped with a display unit that displays the evacuation guidance direction, and a hotel lamp that is installed along the evacuation route in the hotel and that provides specific code information. A plurality of transmitters that can identify the location by transmitting a signal, a guide rail that is installed along the evacuation route in the hotel and transmits the setting signal from the setting section, and an evacuation guidance direction is set with respect to the guide rail. This is an in-hotel evacuation guidance device composed of a setting section.

(Function) By carrying a standing light with a guiding device, guests can determine whether the direction of movement is correct as an evacuation direction, and if the guest is in a place where the signal from the transmitter may be blocked. Also, it is determined whether the direction of movement is correct as the evacuation direction by bringing the pick-up part of the standing light with guidance device into contact with a guide rail installed along the evacuation route.

(Example) Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 1 shows a receiving section 2 consisting of an antenna 6 and a receiver 7 that receive code information from a transmitter, a memory 9 that stores code information, and a memory that stores code information that has been received just before. 10, a memory 11 that stores the arrangement positions of a plurality of transmitters according to code information, and a CPU 8 that determines the evacuation guidance direction and outputs a signal based on the information from these memories. , the signal is received by the output unit 4 consisting of the amplifier 12 and the sounding body 13 which drive the sounding body 13, and the driver 25 and the low frequency vibration generating body 26 which receive the signal and driving the low frequency vibration generating body 26. From the standing light 5, which includes a guidance device 1 that is evacuated, a display section 27 that displays the evacuation guidance direction, a drive section 28 that drives the display section 27, and a pickup section 29 that conveys information from the outside to the drive section 28. configured.

The standing light 5 equipped with this guidance device 1 will be referred to as the standing light with guidance device 14 hereinafter. They are installed in each guest room in the hotel so that guests can carry them around in case of an emergency, and they are placed on evacuation routes.
transmitters each transmitting specific code information that can be received within a relatively narrow range;

A guide rail 30 that transmits the evacuation guidance direction to the standing light with guidance device 14 and a setting section 31 that sets the evacuation guidance direction to the guide rail 30 are installed.

The code information received from the transmitter first by the standing light with guidance device 14 is stored in the memory 9 that stores the code information received until just before, and the code information received first is stored in the code information currently being received. It is stored in the memory 10. The CPU 8 compares the code information stored in these memories with the memory 11 that stores the placement position of the transmitter according to the code information, and detects the guest (standing light 14 with guidance device) based on the change in the received code information. determines whether the moving direction is correct as the evacuation direction, sends a judgment signal to the output unit 4, drives the sounding body 13 and the low frequency vibration generator 26, and asks the guest whether the moving direction is correct as the evacuation direction. Notify.

On the other hand, when the standing light 14 with a guidance device is in a situation where it is difficult to guide by radio, the pickup section 29 of the standing light 14 with a guidance device is brought into contact with the guide rail 30 whose evacuation guidance direction is set by the setting section 31. As a result, the drive unit 28 receives the signal from the pickup unit 29, drives the display unit 27, and displays the evacuation guidance direction.

Referring to FIG. 2, an example in which the standing light 14 with a guiding device displays the guiding direction will be described.

It is assumed that the contact point 32 indicating the left guidance direction in the setting unit 31 is closed.

The signal state of the setting section is guided to the drive section 28 via the guide rail 30 and the pickup section 29. The same signal state is
It is assumed that the switching unit 34 switches and connects alternately.

When the switching unit 34 is switched and connected to the battery 35 side, current is supplied from the battery 35 and the LED 37 of the display section 27 lights up to indicate the left guiding direction.

Next, when the switching unit 34 is switched and connected to the battery 34 side, the current from the battery 36 is stopped by the diode 33 of the setting section 31, so that neither the LED 37 nor the LED 38 of the display section 27 lights up.

1 as the switching unit 34 continues switching.
The LED 37 of the display unit 27 repeatedly lights up and continues to indicate the left guidance direction.

In addition, if the pickup part 29 of the standing light 14 with a guiding device is connected in reverse to the guide rail 30, the LE
By lighting up D38, you can indicate the direction of guidance, so you can move in the direction of the arrow shown on the display.

In FIG. 3, an example will be explained in which a guest carrying a standing light 14 with a guide device evacuates.

A guest carrying a standing light 14 with a guidance device entered room 20.
When evacuation is started, the code information of the transmitter 17 is stored in the memory 9 (nothing is stored in the memory 10, and the code information of the transmitter 17 is stored in the memory 11 in advance as the evacuation order.
(positions 17-15-16-19 and 18-16-19 are stored).

When the guest moves and leaves the range of the radio waves of the transmitter 17 and reaches the range of the radio waves of the transmitter 15 and receives the code information from the transmitter 15, the memory 10 stores the contents stored in the memory 9. , the recode information from the transmitter 15 is stored in the memory 9. At this time, the CPU 8 uses the memory 9 and the memory 10.
It is confirmed from the memory contents that the guest has moved from the point where the first transmitter 17 is installed to the point where the transmitter 15 is installed, and the memory 11 determines whether this movement is the correct direction for evacuation. Check with the memory contents of position 17-
Since it matches the evacuation order of 15-16-19, it is determined that the evacuation direction is correct, and the determination result is sent to the output section 4, and the determination result is output by the sounding body 13 and the low frequency vibration generator 26.

If the guest moves and reaches branch point 22 where the radio waves from transmitters 15, 16, and 18 cannot reach, and chooses to turn right as the evacuation direction, the guest has reached the range where the radio waves from transmitter 18 can reach. At this point, the memory 10 contains the stored contents of the memory 9, and the code information from the transmitter 18 is stored in the memory 9. At this time, the CPU8.

It is confirmed from the memory contents of memory 9 and memory 10 that the guest has moved from the point where transmitter 15 is installed to the point where transmitter 18 is installed, and this movement is the correct direction as the evacuation direction. Since there is no evacuation order for positions 15-18, it is determined that the evacuation direction is incorrect, and a 1 determination result is output to the output unit 4.
The judgment result is sent to the sounding body 13 and the low frequency vibration generating body 26.
Output by

The guests realized that they were heading in the wrong direction for evacuation and went to Turnoff 2.
When the evacuation route returns to step 2 and proceeds along the other route, the user receives code information from the transmitter 16 and, through the same process, learns that the evacuation route is correct and continues evacuation. Next, the user receives the code information from the transmitter 19, goes through the same process, learns that the evacuation route is correct, and is finally able to reach the emergency exit 23.

On the other hand, if a guest carrying a standing light 14 with a guidance device starts evacuation from the room 21, the memory 9 stores the transmitter 1.
8 code information is stored (nothing is stored in the memory 10, and the evacuation order is stored in the memory 11 in advance at positions 17-15-16-19, 18-16-
19 is memorized).

If the guest moves and reaches a branching point 22 where the radio waves from any of the transmitters 15, 16, and 18 cannot reach, and chooses to turn left as the evacuation direction, the time when the guest reaches the range where the radio waves from the transmitter 15 can reach. The memory 10 stores the stored contents of the memory 9, and the memory 9 stores code information from the transmitter 15. At this time, the CPU 8 confirms that the guest has moved from the point where the first transmitter 18 is installed to the point where the transmitter 15 is installed based on the stored contents of the memory 9 and the memory 10, and confirms that this movement is Check whether it is the correct evacuation direction with the stored contents of the memory 11, and set the position IE1-
Since there is no evacuation order number 15, it is determined that the evacuation direction is incorrect, and the result of determination 9 is sent to the output section 4, and the result of determination is outputted by the sounding body 13 and the low frequency vibration generator 26.

The guests realized that they were heading in the wrong direction for evacuation and went to Turnoff 2.
Return to step 2 and proceed on the other route.

After receiving the code information from the transmitter 16 and going through the same process, they learn that the evacuation route is correct and continue evacuating.

Next, the user receives the code information from the transmitter 19, goes through the same process, learns that the evacuation route is correct, and is finally able to reach the emergency exit 23.

As can be seen from the above, guests can recognize the evacuation direction by moving within the distance between adjacent transmitters.

In addition, the guest can check the direction in which to evacuate by bringing the pick-up portion 29 of the standing light 14 with a guidance device into contact with the guide rail 30, if necessary.

By being accurately instructed in the correct evacuation direction, guests can evacuate calmly and quickly.

In the standing light 14 with a guidance device, the sounding body 1 is connected to the output part 4.
3 and the low frequency vibration generator 26 have been described, but it is also possible to use the light emitting body 24 instead of the sounding body 13, or to use the sounding body 1
3 and the light emitting body 24@: It is also possible to use it in combination with the low frequency vibration generator 26.

Although we have described an example in which the low-frequency vibration generator 26 is used in the output section 4 for the purpose of generating a guidance signal in the stationary light 14 with a guidance device, adding a signal inverting circuit 27 to the driver 25 can prevent erroneous errors. It is also possible to drive the low-frequency vibration generator 26 only when it moves in the direction and use it for the purpose of generating an alarm signal.

The setting device for setting the evacuation guidance direction for the guide rail 30 can be used to semi-fix the guidance direction using a changeover switch or the like, or to switch it externally using a controller or the like as necessary.

Furthermore, although this example uses an in-hotel evacuation guidance system, similar applications can also be applied to facilities such as hospitals and inns where evacuation routes are relatively simple and where evacuees may not be familiar with evacuation routes. It is possible.

In such a case, the device to which the guidance device 1 is attached should be
It is not limited to the constant light 5, but any light that can be carried at all times may be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

This also applies when your eyesight cannot function properly due to smoke, etc., when your hearing cannot function properly due to noise, and when guiding evacuees with hearing and visual impairments.

Sufficient evacuation guidance instructions can be provided.

By being accurately instructed in the correct evacuation direction, guests are able to evacuate calmly and quickly.
