Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely detect fire of a racing stable at an early stage, to promptly start fire fighting and to immediately evacuate race horses. SOLUTION: A flame sensor 3 using an artificial retina LSI is provided to each horse chamber 2 of the racing stable 1. When the flame sensor 3 detects flame, an alarm and video are transmitted to a fire prevention center 8 via a racing stable controller 5 and racing stable ratio equipment 6. In the fire prevention center 8, the video from the flame sensor 3 is displayed on a fire prevention system table 10. When a security guard confirms the fire by observing the video, the race horses are evacuated by opening doors of the horse chambers by remote control and the fire is extinguished by starting a sprinkler 11. The flame at an early stage of the fire is detected by the artificial retina LSI and a false alarm is surely excluded since the fire is confirmed by an image.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stable disaster prevention system, and more particularly to a stable disaster prevention system for detecting a fire in a stable by a flame sensor and protecting a racehorse from the fire.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a normal building disaster prevention system, a fire alarm and a surveillance camera detect a fire and issue an alarm. In the event of a malfunction, the alarm cancellation is broadcast to resume normal activities. However, in a disaster prevention system for buildings where animals such as race horses are raised, it is meaningless to cancel the broadcast of the false information, and the false alarm is found after the door of the breeding room is automatically opened. However, the animals cannot be put back into the enclosure. Therefore, stables and the like require a disaster prevention system different from that of office buildings.

In the stables of race horses, about 20 horses are kept in one building. When a fire occurs in the stable, a smoke alarm, a temperature sensor, a flame sensor, or other fire alarm detects the fire and notifies the management room. In response to an alarm, a security guard rushes to the fire site and directly visually confirms the fire, then opens the door of the cabin to evacuate the racehorse and extinguishes it with a sprinkler, fire hydrant and fire extinguisher. There is.

[0004]

However, the conventional fire alarm cannot detect the early flame of the fire, and the fire is not detected in a place where straw is spread around the fire early like a stable. It is often too late when a fire is detected by an alarm. In the conventional stable management system, it is difficult to detect a fire early, and it takes time to start evacuation and fire extinguishing activities, and there is a high possibility that the racehorse will be burnt to death.

It is an object of the present invention to solve the problems of the prior art, to reliably detect an early fire, immediately evacuate a racehorse, and quickly start fire fighting activities.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, a stable disaster prevention device of a stable disaster prevention system including a stable disaster prevention device, a disaster prevention center device, and a wireless LAN device is provided for each stable. A flame sensor installed in each stable, a sprinkler installed in each stable in each stable, a remote control door installed in each stable in each stable, a stable wireless device installed in each stable, and a stable installed in each stable It is equipped with a stable control means for transmitting the signal of the flame sensor to the disaster prevention center device via the stable radio equipment and receiving instructions from the disaster prevention center device to control the sprinkler and the remote opening / closing door. Wireless devices, means for receiving a signal from the flame sensor via the center wireless device and issuing an alarm, means for displaying the image from the flame sensor, and instructions for opening the remote door. Means that, a means for activating remotely the sprinkler, the wireless LAN device, and the stables wireless device, and center the wireless device, a configuration that includes a wireless relay device.

With this configuration, a fire can be reliably detected, and fire-extinguishing activities can be started quickly.
The racehorse can be evacuated immediately.
