Description
Sistema de orientación acústico.Acoustic Orientation System
La presente invención se refiere a un sistema especialmente concebido para proporcionar un medio de orientación que permita a las personas saber qué recorrido han de seguir en condiciones de baja visibilidad, como por ejemplo ante un incendio, en orden a establecer el recorrido de evacuación más óptimo de la edificación de que se trate.The present invention relates to a system specially designed to provide a means of guidance that allows people to know what route they should follow in low visibility conditions, such as in a fire, in order to establish the most optimal evacuation route of the building in question.
La invención es aplicable tanto en sistemas de incendios, como en túneles, así como para su uso en cualquier tipo de edificación orientado a su utilización por parte de personas invidentes, pudiendo formar parte de la preinstalación fija de cualquier sistema de emergencia o instalarse igualmente en el momento que sea preciso.The invention is applicable in both systems of fires, as in tunnels, as well as for use in any type of building oriented to its use by people blind, being able to be part of the fixed pre-installation of any emergency system or be installed equally in the moment that is necessary.
En edificaciones en las que la visibilidad sea reducida o nula, como puede ser debido a la acumulación de humo en el caso de incendios, apagones, túneles, etc, las propias condiciones de baja visibilidad dificultan el que las personas que se encuentran en dichos espacios puedan orientarse a lo largo de los mismos, problema que puede resultar de importante gravedad en el caso de incendios, fugas de gas u otros productos peligrosos, etc, en los que es necesario desalojar el recinto en el menor tiempo posible y a través de los recorridos de emergencia previstos al efecto.In buildings where visibility is reduced or zero, as it may be due to the accumulation of smoke in the case of fires, blackouts, tunnels, etc., their own low visibility conditions make it difficult for people who are in these spaces can be oriented along the same problem that can be of serious gravity in the case of fires, gas leaks or other dangerous products, etc, in which it is necessary to vacate the premises in the shortest time possible and through the emergency routes planned for effect.
Tratando de obviar esta problemática, son conocidos sistemas de orientación, como por ejemplo en el ámbito de la espeleología, basados en la utilización de una cuerda guía, que si bien permite seguir el recorrido de salida en condiciones de baja o nula visibilidad, presenta la problemática de que ante una eventual pérdida del contacto con la cuerda, ésta puede no volverse a encontrar fácilmente, pudiéndose producir la desorientación del individuo, de manera que en el caso hipotético de que la volviera a encontrar, podría incluso desplazarse en sentido contrario al de salida, debido a la citada desorientación generada por la falta de visibilidad.Trying to ignore this problem, they are known guidance systems, such as in the field of caving, based on the use of a guide rope, which although it allows to follow the departure route in low conditions or no visibility, presents the problem that before a eventual loss of contact with the rope, it may not become to find easily, being able to produce the disorientation of the individual, so that in the hypothetical case he returned to find, could even move in the opposite direction of exit, due to the aforementioned disorientation generated by the lack of visibility.
El sistema que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, permitiendo una rápida y fácil orientación del personal aunque las condiciones de visibilidad sean nulas.The system proposed by the invention resolves the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed, allowing quick and easy orientation of staff although visibility conditions are nil.
Para ello, y de forma más concreta, el sistema que se preconiza está constituido por uno o más mandos emisores de radiofrecuencia, (en función del número de usuarios), así como de aparatos receptores de dicha radiofrecuencia, los cuales al recibir dicha señal activan una señal acústica de intensidad moderada, la cual resulte perfectamente audible al portador del mando a una cierta distancia, habiéndose previsto que el alcance de la señal acústica sea ligeramente superior al alcance de la señal de activación.To do this, and more specifically, the system which is recommended is constituted by one or more transmitters of radio frequency, (depending on the number of users), as well as receivers of said radiofrequency, which upon receiving said signal activates an acoustic signal of moderate intensity, the which is perfectly audible to the bearer of the remote certain distance, with the signal range being expected acoustics are slightly greater than the signal range of activation.
Así pues, los dispositivos receptores únicamente se activarán cuando el usuario se encuentre dentro de su radio de acción, para lo cual la señal estará modulada en orden a obtener el alcance deseado.Thus, the receiving devices only will be activated when the user is within their radius of action, for which the signal will be modulated in order to obtain the desired range
El alcance vendrá igualmente impuesto por el número de dispositivos receptores instalados, de manera que cuanto menor sean éstos, mayor tendrá que ser su alcance.The scope will also be imposed by the number of receiving devices installed, so how much The smaller they are, the greater their scope will have to be.
Por último cabe destacar el sistema puede ser implantado en el momento de ser utilizado, en lugares desconocidos, de manera que la persona que vaya abriendo camino puede ir instalando los dispositivos receptores para orientar al resto de personas que vengan detrás.Finally it should be noted the system can be implanted at the time of use, in unknown places, so that the person who makes his way can go installing the receiving devices to guide the rest of people who come behind.
Así pues, y de acuerdo con la estructura descrita, para orientarse el usuario pulsará el correspondiente botón de su mando, activándose en ese momento los receptores que tenga más cercanos, debiéndose acercar a aquel cuya señal resulte más audible.So, and according to the structure described, to orient the user press the corresponding button of his command, activating at that moment the receivers that have closer, must approach the one whose signal is more audible
A partir de esta situación, y en orden a determinar el sentido de avance en la línea de evacuación, se ha previsto que cada receptor emita una señal acústica diferente, en orden a diferenciar los sonidos emitidos y permitir identificar la dirección a seguir.From this situation, and in order to determine the direction of progress in the evacuation line, it has provided that each receiver emits a different acoustic signal, in order to differentiate the sounds emitted and allow to identify the direction to follow.
Como complemento de la estructura descrita, se ha previsto que los dispositivos receptores incorporen medios de fijación al paramento de que se trate, tales como adhesivos de cualquier tipo convencional, dispositivos que en el caso de que la instalación esté por realizarse vendrán empaquetados debidamente ordenados para que no se genere ninguna confusión en cuanto al sentido de avance a través de las señales acústicas.As a complement to the structure described, has planned that the receiving devices incorporate means of fixing to the wall in question, such as adhesives any conventional type, devices that in the event that the installation to be carried out will be packaged properly ordered so that no confusion is generated as to the sense of advance through the acoustic signals.
Opcionalmente dichos dispositivos receptores podrán incorporar testigos luminosos que coadyuven en la localización de los mismos.Optionally said receiving devices may incorporate luminous witnesses that contribute to the location of them.

Tal y como se ha comentado con anterioridad, el sistema podrá implantarse en el momento que se estime conveniente, o bien formar ya parte de un sistema fijo, cuya instalación ya estuviera preconcebida antes de la producción de un siniestro.As previously mentioned, the system may be implemented at the time deemed convenient, or well be part of a fixed system, whose installation already It was preconceived before the production of an accident.
Opcionalmente, el sistema podrá activarse igualmente directamente a través de el sistema de emergencia al que esté asociado, sin necesidad de tener que utilizar los mandos emisores, como puede ser la activación mediante detectores de humos, el sistema de luces de emergencia, o bien mediante la activación de los receptores desde un centro de control y vigilancia existente en el propio edificio.Optionally, the system can be activated also directly through the emergency system to which is associated, without having to use the controls emitters, such as activation by smoke detectors, the emergency lighting system, or by activating the receivers from an existing control and surveillance center in The building itself.
Este sistema se pondría en funcionamiento durante todo el tiempo que durara la situación de emergencia, pudiéndose regular por sectores del edificio o utilizarse en la totalidad del mismo, dependiendo de la magnitud del siniestro.This system would be put into operation. for the entire duration of the emergency situation, being able to regulate by sectors of the building or be used in the all of it, depending on the magnitude of the incident.
Se consigue de esta manera proporcionar un sistema de orientación acústica sumamente eficaz, fácil de usar, y del que no se necesita un entrenamiento específico para su correcto uso.It is achieved in this way to provide a highly efficient acoustic guidance system, easy to use, and which does not need specific training for its correct use.
Para complementar la descripción que se está realizando y con objeto de ayudar a una mejor comprensión de las características del invento, de acuerdo con un ejemplo preferente de realización práctica del mismo, se acompaña como parte integrante de dicha descripción, un único juego de dibujos en donde con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo, se ha representado de forma esquemática un diagrama de bloques de los distintos elementos que participan en un sistema de orientación acústica realizado de acuerdo con el objeto de la presente invención.To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a single set of drawings where with character illustrative and not limiting, it has been represented schematically a block diagram of the different elements that participate in an acoustic orientation system made in accordance with the object of the present invention.
A la vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como el sistema de orientación acústico que se preconiza está constituido por al menos un mando o dispositivo emisor (1) y una pluralidad de dispositivos receptores (2).In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the acoustic orientation system that is recommended it is constituted by at least one command or emitting device (1) and a plurality of receiving devices (2).
Cada mando o dispositivo emisor (1) de radiofrecuencias, destinado a ser portado por los diferentes usuarios de la edificación, estará dotado de un circuito emisor (3) accionable a través de un pulsador o interruptor (4) y alimentado a través de la correspondiente batería (5).Each transmitter or sending device (1) of radio frequencies, intended to be carried by the different Building users will be equipped with an emitter circuit (3) operable through a push button or switch (4) and fed to through the corresponding battery (5).
Por su parte, los dispositivos receptores, los cuales estarán instalados convenientemente distribuidos a lo largo de la línea de evacuación de la edificación de que se trate, incorporarán un circuito receptor (6) de radiofrecuencias, el cual puede estar alimentado indistintamente a través de baterías (7) o mediante la red de alumbrado de emergencia de la edificación, circuito (6) que tras recibir la señal del mando emisor (1) emitirá una señal acústica a través de uno o más altavoces (8), señal que será diferente al menos a la de los dispositivos receptores situados imediatamente anterior y posterior al mismo en la línea de evacuación definida por dichos dispositivos, en orden a permitir diferenciar dichos sonidos e identificar el sentido de avance a través de dicha línea.On the other hand, the receiving devices, the which will be installed conveniently distributed throughout of the evacuation line of the building in question, incorporate a radio frequency receiver circuit (6), which It can be powered either by batteries (7) or through the emergency lighting network of the building, circuit (6) that after receiving the signal from the sending command (1) will emit an acoustic signal through one or more speakers (8), signal that it will be at least different from that of the receiving devices located immediately before and after it in the line of evacuation defined by said devices, in order to allow differentiate these sounds and identify the direction of progress to through that line.
Así pues, el dispositivo emisor tendrá un alcance suficiente como para permitir activar al menos dos dispositivos receptores. A modo de ejemplo, cada dispositivo receptor (2) podrá emitir un número diferente de pitidos al accionar el mando (1), número que irá en ascenso creciente o decreciente según la dirección de la línea de evacuación, y que, cuando el número de dispositivos receptores sea muy elevado dichas señales acústicas podrán ser cíclicas, de manera que llegado a un número de pitidos elevado, el siguiente dispositivo receptor emita únicamente un pitido.Thus, the sending device will have a sufficient range to enable at least two to be activated receiving devices As an example, each device receiver (2) may emit a different number of beeps when activated the command (1), a number that will increase or decrease according to the direction of the evacuation line, and that, when the number of receiving devices is very high said signals acoustics may be cyclic, so that reached a number of beeps raised, the next receiving device emits only a beep
Tal y como se ha comentado anteriormente el sistema es ideal para ser implantado en el momento de su uso, de manera que los dispositivos receptores (2) podrán ser suministrados debidamente empaquetados, con un orden de implantación establecido, de manera que mediante medios de fijación podrán implantarse en cualquier momento sobre la vía de que se trate, habiéndose previsto para ello que los mismos cuenten con medios de fijación, tales como cualquier tipo de adhesivo convencional establecido sobre su carcasa.As previously mentioned on system is ideal to be implanted at the time of use, of so that the receiving devices (2) can be supplied properly packaged, with an established order of implementation, so that through fixing means they can be implanted in any time on the route in question, having been planned for this, they have fixing means, such as any type of conventional adhesive established on its Case.
No obstante el sistema puede formar parte de una instalación de emergencia fija de un edificio, de manera que el mismo pueda activarse directamente a través de líneas eléctricas de emergencia, mediante la señal emitida desde un centro de control o bien a través de distintos dispositivos activadores, como por ejemplo sensores de humo, cámaras de vigilancia, etc, pudiéndose activar de forma selectiva una zona particular de la edificación o la totalidad del edificio, en función de la magnitud del siniestro.However, the system can be part of a fixed emergency installation of a building, so that the it can be activated directly through power lines emergency, by means of the signal emitted from a control center or either through different activating devices, such as by example smoke sensors, surveillance cameras, etc., being able to selectively activate a particular area of the building or the entire building, depending on the magnitude of the Sinister.
Por último cabe destacar el hecho de que opcionalmente los dispositivos receptores podrán contar igualmente con medios de iluminación para los mismos, tales como diodos (9) o haces de láser, aumentando la efectividad del sistema.Finally, the fact that optionally the receiving devices may also count with lighting means therefor, such as diodes (9) or laser beams, increasing the effectiveness of the system.
