{Intelligent firefighting device and system}

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an intelligent fire fighting system, and more particularly, to an intelligent fire fighting system in which a fire extinguishing member is automatically turned to a point where a fire is generated by using a thermal image generated through shooting a thermal camera, .

Since the fire spreads widely over a short period of time, technologies are being developed to minimize the fire damage by detecting and informing the fire in advance. Among these, technologies such as sprinklers and sensors are being developed intensively. There is little knowledge about fire suppression.

Particularly, when a fire occurs, firefighters suppress the fire at the scene of the fire. However, if the firefighter does not enter the building due to the structural nature of the building, or if the firefighter can not enter because of the large size of the fire, Difficult cases often arise.

Furthermore, there is a problem that it is difficult to accurately grasp a fire point due to smoke when a fire occurs.

As a technique for suppressing a fire remotely, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1178927 discloses a video surveillance fire extinguishing system that includes a plurality of surveillance fire extinguishing systems installed in a fire surveillance target area, receives surveillance signals by motion control, A plurality of fire extinguishers installed in the target area to emit the extinguishing agent and transmit status information to the surveillance camera and the fire extinguisher, A control module for selectively applying a control signal to the fire extinguisher according to a processing result, and a monitoring server comprising a disaster prevention module for transmitting topic information to a designated terminal of a manager who manages the target area, The surveillance camera includes a camera module for capturing a moving image and a camera module And an image control module connected to and controlling the camera module, the image motion module, and the image transmission / reception module. The image motion module controls the photographing angle of the fire extinguisher A fire extinguisher which is connected to the fire extinguishing tank and discharges the fire extinguishing agent and a fire extinguishing valve which interrupts opening and closing of the fire extinguishing agent; A drug detection sensor for detecting the amount of the drug in the extinguishing tank, a fire extinguishing transceiver module for transmitting the sensed information to the monitoring server, and a controller connected to the fire extinguishing valve, the medicine detecting sensor and the fire extinguishing transceiver module, And a fire extinguishing control module.

However, this conventional technique is to remotely control the fire extinguisher, and it is not possible to extinguish the fire preferentially according to the degree of danger of the fire, and also to analyze the fire occurrence area automatically, And there is a problem that it is difficult to accurately grasp a fire point due to smoke, heat, and fire when a fire occurs.

As a conventional technique, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1450823 discloses a camera-interlocked remote fire extinguishing system that monitors a fire in a surveillance area and transmits a signal of fire occurrence when a fire is detected, And an application program for generating an alarm by receiving a signal of fire occurrence from the CCTV camera and controlling the CCTV camera and the fire extinguishing device is installed in the fire extinguishing system Wherein the fire extinguishing device is a fire extinguishing fire extinguishing device that fire or extinguish a fire extinguishing material into a surveillance area of the CCTV camera, And the control terminal is able to generate the video signal through the CCTV camera, An interface for displaying an area where the fire extinguishing material is sprayed or emitted and an interface for manually controlling the direction of the fire extinguishing device for spraying or emitting the fire extinguishing material and controlling the pressure of the fire extinguishing device, There is a technology for providing an interface for displaying an image of the CCTV camera including the aiming point and for providing an interface for controlling the aiming point.

However, since the conventional technique is manually operated through the judgment of the manager, the fire can not be suppressed preferentially according to the degree of danger of the fire, and the fire occurrence area is automatically analyzed and the fire extinguishing material is sprayed to the fire area There is a problem that it is difficult to accurately grasp a fire point due to smoke, heat, and fire when a fire occurs.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to spray a fire extinguishing material at a fire point by using a thermal image generated by shooting a thermal camera.

Another purpose is to gradually inject fire extinguishing materials from the point having the highest temperature when the fire temperature is varied on the images generated through the shooting of the thermal camera.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention Hereinafter, a configuration and an operation of a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an intelligent fire fighting system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The intelligent fire fighting system includes a thermal image camera 100, a control device 200, a fire extinguishing member 300, and a driving body 400.

In more detail, the thermal imaging camera 100 generates a thermal image having a first coordinate value, which is a reference coordinate value.

For example, when the first coordinate value, which is a reference coordinate value, is set at the center, the coordinate value setting for the surrounding area is smoothly performed on the basis of the center point, To smoothly collect the second coordinate values for the second coordinate system.

Therefore, it is not necessary to form the first coordinate value at the center point, but it is preferable to configure the first coordinate value at the center point as described above.

The reason why the thermal camera 100 is used instead of the general camera is that the fire occurrence area is expressed as a unique image of the thermal image and thus the second coordinate value can be collected easily. However, This is because it is difficult to identify the fire occurrence area with the naked eye of a general camera or a person, thereby making it difficult to suppress the fire.

The controller 200 receives the thermal image and generates a second coordinate value based on the first coordinate value, which corresponds to an area of a predetermined temperature or more among the received thermal images.

That is, the control device 200 controls to suppress the fire, and it is necessary to analyze the area where the fire has occurred in order to extinguish the fire first, so that the second coordinate value corresponding to the region above the set temperature is referred to as the first coordinate Value basis.

For example, if A in FIG. 2 (a) is a building, and B in FIG. 2 (a) and B in FIG. 2 (b) B is the second coordinate value generated as the thermal camera 100 photographs at a long distance, and the second coordinate value is the second coordinate value generated when the thermal camera 100 photographs from a short distance, B.

In the case of (b) shown in FIG. 2, since the thermal camera 100 has taken a picture at a close range, the point having the highest temperature as the fire occurrence area is widely distributed is set as the second coordinate value.

In particular, the control device 200 generates a plurality of second coordinate values when a plurality of fire regions are included in one row image, sequentially generates a plurality of second coordinate values from the driving point 400, And is driven to sequentially receive the second coordinate value from the driving body 400. [

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, A, B, C, and D are regions in which a fire occurs, and a center point A, B, C, B, C and D are determined to be equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, and the coordinate values of the center points of A, B, C and D are determined as the first coordinate values As a reference.

As a result, the coordinate value at the highest temperature in the fire zone, that is, the second coordinate value, is generated.

More specifically, if the center point temperature of A is 80 ° C, the center point temperature of B is 100 ° C, the center point temperature of C is 60 ° C, and the D center point temperature is 120 ° C, , A, and C, and transmits the generated coordinate values to the driver 400. [0050]

Accordingly, when the driving body 400 faces the D, B, A, and C coordinate values, the extinguishing member 300 is directed in the same direction, and the extinguishing material is sprayed in the order of D, B, A, .

When the thermal imaging camera 100 is rotated, the control device 200 controls the driving unit 400 so that the fire extinguishing unit 300 is directed in the first coordinate value direction, ).

For example, the thermal imaging camera 100 can observe other regions by the administrator using a separate control means. In this case, the fire extinguishing member 300 is moved in the direction of the first coordinate value The control device 200 controls the driving body 400 so as to control the driving force.

When the thermal camera 100 rotates, the driving body 400 is rotated so that the fire extinguishing member 300 is directed in the first coordinate value direction. When the second coordinate value is received, the fire extinguishing member 300 is moved to the second The driving body 400 is repeatedly driven so as to face the coordinate value to sequentially extinguish the entire fire occurrence region.

The fire extinguishing member 300 emits fire extinguishing materials (all materials used for fire suppression including water and chemicals) in the second coordinate value direction.

That is, since the fire extinguishing member 300 is fixed to the driving body 400, the driving body 400 is driven in the second coordinate value direction received from the control device 200, so that the second coordinate value So that the fire extinguishing material is sprayed in the second coordinate value direction.

In addition, the fire extinguishing member 300 is preferably connected to a fire extinguishing facility of a vehicle or a building that provides fire extinguishing material through a fire fighting lake.

For example, the fire extinguishing unit 300 may include fire extinguishing materials. However, since it is necessary to continuously provide fire extinguishing materials when the size of the fire is large, a vehicle having a large amount of fire extinguishing materials, The facility is connected to the inside and outside fire hydrant and the firefighting lake.

The driving body 400 is fixed to the fire extinguishing member 300 so that the fire extinguishing member 300 is initially oriented in the first coordinate value direction and the second coordinate values generated in the controller 200 And when it is received, the fire extinguishing member 300 is driven to face the second coordinate value direction.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the fire extinguishing member 300 is directed to A corresponding to the reference first coordinate value (0, 0), and upon receipt of the B coordinate value (x, y) 400 are driven by the fire extinguishing member 300 in the B direction through the up, down, left, and right driving.

That is, since the driving body 400 is fixed to the fire extinguishing member 300, when the driving body 400 is oriented in the second coordinate value direction, the fire extinguishing member 300 naturally moves the extinguishing material in the second coordinate value direction And is driven to be sprayed.

In particular, as shown in (b) of FIG. 2, when a fire is generated close to a fire occurrence area, a plurality of regions having a temperature higher than a temperature set in the thermal image are generated as shown in A, B, C, When the fire extinguishing member 300 is directed to the coordinate value direction corresponding to the highest temperature and becomes the set temperature or less, the driving body 400 is driven so as to suppress the fire by repeating the direction toward the next higher coordinate value.

For example, when a fire area such as A, B, C, and D shown in FIG. 3 occurs, the driving body 400 has a center point temperature A of 80 ° C, a center point temperature B of 100 ° C, And the D center point temperature is 120 ° C., the control unit 200 receives the respective coordinate values in the order of D, B, A, and C, and is driven according to the received coordinate values.

In addition, the thermal camera 100 and the fire extinguishing unit 300, which generate the thermal image including the first coordinate value, are preferably configured to be fixed to the driving body 400.

That is, when the fire extinguishing member 300 and the thermal imaging camera 100 are configured together, the fire occurrence area is analyzed only by driving the driving body 400 through the vertical movement and the horizontal rotation movement as shown in FIG. 5 (a) 6, A is the first coordinate value, B is the fire region, C is the second coordinate value, and the operation is the same as that shown in Fig. 6 (a) shows a fire area in a thermal image, and (b) in FIG. 6 shows that a second coordinate value of a fire area is shifted to a first coordinate value.

More specifically, the thermal imaging camera 100 generates a thermal image having a first coordinate value serving as a reference. At this time, the fire-fighting camera 100 moves the fire extinguishing member 300 toward the first coordinate value as shown in (a) 6, when the first coordinate value A is driven to the second coordinate value C by using the driving body 400, the first and second coordinate values ( A, C), it acts to more accurately spray the extinguishing material.

Particularly when the fire extinguishing member 300 and the thermal imaging camera 100 are configured in the driving body 400 so as to face the first coordinate value serving as a reference of the thermal image captured by the thermal imaging camera 100, It is preferable that the camera 100, the fire extinguishing member 300, and the driving body 400 are constructed in a vehicle or a robot having mobility.

For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, when the fire is generated in the vehicle, the fire extinguisher automatically extinguishes the entire fire area through the vertical movement and the horizontal movement of the driving body 400.

As shown in (d) of FIG. 5, when a robot having mobility is installed in a fire area where firefighters are difficult to enter, a special fire It acts to suppress the area automatically.

The driving body 400 is fixed to the fire extinguishing member 300. When the thermal imaging camera 100 is separated or configured in another equipment, It is also preferable that the digestion member 300 is configured to face the coordinate value.

That is, when the thermal imaging camera 100 needs to be separated according to the geographical requirement of the fire occurrence area, if the fire extinguishing member 300 is directed to the first coordinate value, the second coordinate value of the fire can be extracted The extinguishing member 300 can inject the extinguishing material in the second coordinate value direction through the up-and-down movement and the left-right rotation movement of the driving body 400.

For example, if only the fire extinguishing member 300 is coupled to the driving body 400 as shown in (c) of FIG. 5 and the thermal imaging camera 100 is separately configured as shown in FIG. 5 (d) The fire extinguishing member 300 is directed to the first coordinate value serving as a reference of the thermal image captured by the fire extinguishing unit 300,

In addition, FIG. 5 (d) is a simplified representation of the robot for entering the room, which allows the fire extinguishing member 300 to inject fire extinguishing material after entering the building and confirming the fire occurrence area with the thermal imaging camera 100 At the same time, a fire-fighting lake is connected to the fire extinguishing member 300 to receive a large amount of fire extinguishing material.

Particularly, the driving unit 400 is fixed to the fire extinguishing unit 300, and when the thermal imaging camera 100 is separated or configured in other equipment, It is preferable that the fire extinguishing member 300 is constructed so as to face the one coordinate value in the vehicle or the robot having mobility.

For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 5, when a vehicle is constructed on a vehicle, a thermal image is collected by a thermal camera 100 combined with a separate tool for an area where it is difficult to collect thermal images in a high- After acquiring the 2 coordinate value, the driving body 400 is driven to inject the extinguishing material into the extinguishing member 300.

(D) shown in Fig. 5, even if it is built in the robot, it acts similar to that attached to the vehicle.

On the other hand, the control device 200 is remotely controlled via wired / wireless communication with the control device 200, and thermal images are received from the thermal imaging camera 100 and the fire extinguishing material injection of the fire extinguishing material 300 is controlled And a remote terminal for controlling the driving of the driving body 400.

That is, the remote terminal is for remote control in order to prevent a person from approaching a fire occurrence area due to a special situation of fire.

In particular, the remote control includes a manual operation of rotating the thermal imaging camera 100 to detect the second coordinate value and a manual operation of driving the driving body 400 to the second coordinate value.

It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to cover further limitations anddisclamping the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. It is not.

Therefore, it is intended that the present invention covers the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
