Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an emergency alarm device installed, for example, inside a building or an underground mall.

(Conventional technology) For example, in the case of a disaster such as a fire or gas explosion in a building or underground mall, if the fire or gas leak is detected at an early stage and an appropriate warning is issued, the damage can be minimized. . Therefore, emergency alarm devices using temperature sensors, gas sensors, etc. have been put into practical use. In this type of device, when an emergency situation is detected, an alarm is sounded by an emergency bell or the like.

However, an emergency bell alert does not provide specific information about where and what type of emergency has occurred.
It was impossible to inform the people at the scene.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) This invention solves the problem in large places such as inside buildings and underground malls.
For example, when an emergency bell rings, it is possible to know that some kind of emergency is occurring, but it is not possible to know specific information about where and what type of emergency is occurring. This was done to solve the problem of not being able to do so, and it allows people on the scene to instantly know where and what kind of emergency situation is occurring, allowing them to take appropriate evacuation actions quickly. It becomes easier to take,
The purpose is to provide an emergency warning device that can minimize damage.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) The emergency alarm device of the present invention includes a plurality of detection means for detecting the occurrence of an emergency situation, and a notification means for notifying the occurrence of an emergency situation by voice. and a storage means in which audio information corresponding to the contents of the emergency situation is stored, and audio information corresponding to the contents of the emergency #1 state detected by the detection means is read from the storage means and notified by the notification means. $IJ
It consists of 4111 means.

(Operation) When the occurrence of an emergency situation is detected, this invention instantly and safely alerts people at the scene by issuing an alarm using audio that corresponds to the content of the detected emergency situation. And it is designed to provide reliable guidance.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the emergency alarm system of the present invention installed in an underground mall, for example. This underground mall 11 is, for example, shaped like an abbreviated letter, and has a structure that makes it impossible to see everything depending on the location. The inside of the underground mall 11 is divided into five zones (floors), for example, A, B, C, D, and H, and each zone A, B, C,
The walls, pillars, etc. of D and H are displayed and divided by the letters A, B, C, D, H or colors so that it is possible to determine which zone they belong to just by looking at them.

”-Registered zones A, B, C, D, and E include each zone A,
As a detection means for detecting the occurrence of an emergency situation in B, C, D, and H, for example, a sensor 12 that detects a rise in temperature is used.
a, 12b, 12c, 12d.

12e, - a sensor 13 for detecting an increase in carbon oxide concentration;
a, 13b, 13c, 13d, 13e, and sensors 14a, 14b that detect the occurrence of smoke.

14c, 14d, and 14e are provided. Each of these sensors 12a to 12e, 13a to 13e114a to 1
All of 4e are generally well-known, and are, for example, those described in "Technological Development of New Sensors and How to Optimize Their Selection and Usage" (published by Management Development Center).

Further, for example, each zone A, B, C, D, and E is provided with a speaker (notification means) 15a, respectively.

15b, 15c, 15d, and 15e are provided.

FIG. 1 shows the configuration of an emergency alarm device according to the present invention. Each of the above sensors 12a to 12e113a to 13e
s14a to 14e are CPUs as control means
(Central Processing Unit) 16. A memory 17 as a storage means is connected to the CPU 16, and the speakers 158 to 15e are connected to the CPU 16 via a D/A converter 18 and an amplifier 19.
is connected.

The memory 17 stores the sensors 12a to 12e% 1
Corresponding to the contents of the emergency situation detected by 3a to 13e and 14a to 14e, for example, "× in the OO zone"
× occurred. Warning messages (audio information) such as "" are stored in advance. In this case, human voices corresponding to, for example, the location and type of emergency (contents of the emergency) are A/D converted, compressed, and registered.

Next, the operation in the above configuration will be explained. For example, if an increase in the concentration of carbon monoxide due to incomplete combustion occurs in the B zone, this is detected by the sensor 13b arranged in the B zone that detects the increase in the carbon monoxide concentration.

Then, the CPU 16 determines that carbon monoxide is abnormally occurring in the B zone, and based on this determination, a message corresponding to the above situation, for example, is generated from the alarm messages stored in advance in the memory 17. A message such as "-carbon oxide is generated in zone B" is read out.

Then, this read message is sent to the D/A converter 1.
After being D/A converted at step 8, the signal is amplified by an amplifier 19 and then broadcast from each speaker 15a to 15 to the entire underground 111.

In response to this audio guidance (warning), people in Underground Mall 11 can take quick and safe evacuation actions by knowing their current location (which zone they are in) from the surrounding pillars and walls. becomes possible.

That is, when the generation of carbon monoxide is detected in zone B, for example rB/
- Carbon oxide is generated in -.

Please evacuate immediately. ' will be broadcast.

As a result, people in the underground mall 11 are directed to move as far away from Zone B as possible, where the emergency situation has occurred, for example, people near A'l/-n are directed towards the first entrance/exit.
Additionally, people near Zones C, D, and E can be guided to evacuate toward the second entrance. Therefore, it is possible to quickly evacuate people in the underground mall 11 to a safe place.

In addition, in the same way, it is possible to detect the generation of carbon monoxide in zones A and C-E, as well as the rise in temperature and generation of smoke in each zone A-H, and issue an appropriate alarm by voice. It has become.

As mentioned above, non-77;! :When the occurrence of a 4# situation is detected, by issuing a warning using audio that corresponds to the details of the detected emergency situation, people on the scene can be guided safely and reliably in an instant. That's what I do.

In other words, when an emergency situation occurs, it is possible to notify people at the scene of what type of emergency situation is occurring and in what location by using audio that corresponds to the content of the emergency situation. We make it possible to provide specific information. This makes it possible to accurately and instantaneously transmit specific information to people near the site. Therefore, it becomes possible to take appropriate evacuation actions as quickly as possible, thereby making it possible to minimize damage caused by disasters in buildings, underground malls, etc.

In addition, in the two-legged embodiment, the warning message was registered in advance using the human voice, but since various types of warning messages can be generated depending on the combination of sensors, for example, the warning message may be changed to the content of the emergency It would be more effective if the images were automatically synthesized according to the situation.

In addition, we have installed sensors that detect increases in temperature, increases in the concentration of carbon oxide, and generation of smoke, but this is not limited to.
For example, it can also be applied when sensors that detect shaking caused by earthquakes, sensors that detect water leaks, etc. are installed.

Further, the storage means is not limited to memory, but may be a disk device using an optical disk, a magnetic disk, or the like.

Further, the warning message may include evacuation methods such as prohibiting the use of elevators, guidance to a safe exit, and the like.

It goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

[Effects of the Invention] As described in detail, according to this invention, it is possible to instantly inform people on the scene of what type of emergency situation is occurring, and therefore It is possible to provide an emergency warning device that makes it easy to take quick and appropriate evacuation actions and minimizes damage.
