Description

Fire detection system verifing for malfunctions}

The present invention relates to a fire detection system, and more particularly to a fire detection system capable of confirming whether or not a malfunction has occurred.

In general, a fire detection system is essential to deliver accurate information about the occurrence of fire in order to guide evacuation without damage to life and property within a short period of time. In particular, in residential complexes, large, high-rise buildings, etc., it is essential to cope with the risk of fire occurrence and to provide accurate and prompt fire alarm notification.

In a conventional fire detection system, fire detection sensors are installed at each location in a building, and when a fire occurs, it is detected by the fire detection sensor. When the fire detection sensor informs the fire alarm, the fire alarm sounds a fire alarm and controls various evacuation guidance lights and emergency lighting to induce people in the building to evacuate.

That is, in a conventional fire detection system, when a fire occurs, the sensor automatically detects heat, smoke, flame, or combustion products generated in the event of a fire and transmits them to a fire receiver, and the fire receiver detects the occurrence of a fire through an alarm sound such as a siren. tells

That is, the fire receiver is a device that displays the occurrence of a fire and sounds an alarm by directly receiving a signal emitted from a detector or transmitter or receiving a signal through a repeater.

Although a fire receiver is a device that plays an important role in minimizing damage from fire and preventing fires, the manager of a fire receiver is responsible for the reason that a fire alarm may be falsely sounded due to a malfunction of a detector or transmitter. In some cases, the power of the receiver is intentionally cut off.

Deliberately shutting off the power of the fire receiver, even when a fire actually occurs, causes the fire receiver to fail to indicate the occurrence of a fire or sound an alarm, resulting in a large-scale fire and human casualties.

1 is a block diagram schematically showing a fire detection system capable of confirming whether or not there is a malfunction according to an embodiment of the present invention. The fire detection system according to this embodiment includes a fire receiver 20, a control server 40, and a communication panel.

First, a multi-unit dwelling will be described. The multi-unit dwelling may be, for example, an apartment. That is, in an apartment house, at least one house may exist for each of a plurality of floors.

The security office is located adjacent to the apartment house, and security personnel who manage the public housing are stationed there.

The control situation room is located in an apartment complex and is a place that performs comprehensive management such as CCTV monitoring in the apartment complex. For example, the control situation room may be installed with a control server 40, a communication board, and the like.

The fire detectors 10 may be provided in each house or floor to detect whether there is a fire and transmit a fire detection signal to a fire receiver 20 to be described later. For example, the fire detector 10 may include a heat detector, a smoke detector, a heat/smoke complex detector, and a thermal imaging camera.

Also, the fire detectors 10 are installed on each of a plurality of floors of an apartment building. Here, the fire detector 10 may be installed in each floor of the apartment house or installed in the common area of the floor. Hereinafter, what is installed in each house will be described as an example.

The fire receiver 20 may receive a common signal from the fire detector 10 . That is, the fire receiver 20 receives a fire detection signal from the fire detector 10 . The fire receiver 20 is provided in a guard room located adjacent to an apartment building. Of course, it is not limited thereto, and the fire receiver 20 may be provided in a common space such as a basement of an apartment house.

And the fire receiver 20 can be largely divided into a P-type fire receiver 20 and an R-type fire receiver 20 according to the signal method. The P-type fire receiver 20 receives the signal emitted from the fire detector 10 as a common signal directly or through the repeater 30, and the R-type fire receiver 20 receives the signal emitted from the detector or transmitter directly or It is received as a unique signal through the repeater 30. Since the R-type fire receiver 20 can individually check whether a fire has occurred or whether there is a failure, the fire receiver 20 will be described below as a P-type fire receiver 20 of an analog type.

The control server 40 receives a fire detection signal from the fire receiver 20 with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 . And the control server 40 is provided in the integrated control room, and includes a control unit and a database. The control unit makes judgments about signal reception and various conditions, and commands or controls each component. The database may hold previously stored data or store new data. A detailed description of this will be given later.

Meanwhile, a repeater 30 may be further included between the fire receiver 20 and the control server 40 . The relay 30 is located between the fire receiver 20 and the control server 40 and connects them. Then, the relay 30 receives the fire detection signal from the fire receiver 20, converts it into a format that the control server 40 can recognize, and transmits it to the control server 40. For example, since the P-type fire receiver 20 is of an analog type, the repeater 30 converts the received fire detection signal into a digital type and transmits it to the control server 40 .

The communication board can communicate with the interphone 53 provided in each house. For example, multi-unit dwellings have an integrated intra-premises communication system providing intra-office communication. That is, an interphone 53 is installed in each house, and a communication board communicating with the intercom 53 of the house is installed in the security room or the integrated control room. The control room communication team 51 is installed in the integrated control room, and the guard room communication team 52 is installed in the security room. Then, the household member and the security guard or manager mutually communicate through the interphone 53 and the communication panel.

In addition, the communication board can automatically transmit and receive guide messages to the interphone 53. In particular, the control room communication panel 51 can transmit a predetermined comment to the interphone 53 according to the instructions of the control server 40, and transmit whether or not the residents of the house have responded and a response signal to the control server 40.

Meanwhile, the fire receiver 20 may malfunction due to deterioration of the apartment house or due to environmental influences such as humidity and temperature. Alternatively, the fire detector 10 may malfunction due to aging or environmental influences.

At this time, the P-type fire receiver 20 cannot know which floor or which household the fire detection signal was received from the fire detector 10 installed on. Therefore, when the fire receiver 20 receives a fire detection signal and sounds an alarm, a security guard has to visit each floor and each household to determine whether there is a malfunction or determine whether there is a fire.

According to this embodiment, the fire detection system can accurately and quickly determine whether a fire occurs or malfunctions using a premises communication system, thereby preventing waste of manpower and loss of property.

Referring to FIG. 3 , when the control server 40 receives a fire detection signal from the fire receiver 20, it can communicate with each house through a communication panel to check whether a fire has occurred. That is, since the control server 40 automatically checks whether a fire occurs through the premises communication system when receiving a fire detection signal, a security guard does not need to personally visit. It is explained in more detail below.

The fire receiver 20 receives a fire detection signal, which is a common signal, from any one of the plurality of fire detectors 10 . At this time, the fire receiver 20 may receive the fire detection signal regardless of whether or not a fire actually occurs. That is, it cannot be determined at this point whether it is a fire or a malfunction. Also, the fire receiver 20 transmits a fire detection signal to the control server 40 or the repeater 30 . In this case, the fire detection signal received from the fire detector 10 and the fire detection signal transmitted may have different formats, but for convenience, a fire detection signal will be described.

The repeater 30 receives the fire detection signal transmitted by the fire receiver 20, converts it, and transmits it to the control server 40. At this time, the fire detection signal received by the repeater 30 and the transmitted fire detection signal may have different formats, but for convenience, a fire detection signal will be described.

When the control server 40 receives the fire detection signal, the control server 40 communicates with each house through a communication panel to check whether a fire has occurred. That is, upon receiving the fire detection signal, the control server 40 commands the communication board to perform confirmation communication for each house. At this time, the communication panel may be, for example, the control room communication panel 51.

The communication panel has an automatic telephone function and a response function, and when a command is received from the control server 40, a call is automatically made to check whether a fire has occurred through the interphone 53 provided in each house. For example, the communication board includes an Automated Response System (ARS) function.

The communication unit automatically makes a call to the interphone 53 for each house to see if a fire has been automatically issued to a plurality of houses connected to the fire receiver 20 that has received the fire detection signal according to the command of the control server 40 .

The communication team automatically transmits a call asking whether there is a fire to the interphone 53 of each house according to the command. A resident living in the house receives a call from the communication board through the interphone 53, and responds according to the current situation (whether or not there is a fire). Here, the response may be a button or voice.

Then, the communication board communicates through the interphone 53 and transmits the result to the server. In more detail, the communication team transmits to the control server 40 whether or not each house has responded or whether a fire has occurred.

In addition, the control server 40 may control the operation of the alarm according to whether or not there is a response and transmit whether or not a fire has occurred to the guard room communication panel 52 through the control room communication panel 51. That is, the control server 40 controls to maintain or stop the operation of an alarm such as a siren notifying the house according to the response result. In this case, the siren may be a separate facility installed inside or outside the house, or may be a broadcast transmitted through a speaker inside or outside the house.

As an example, a series of processes will be described with a case in which a fire does not occur.

When the control server 40 receives the fire detection signal, it transmits a command to the control room communication panel 51 . The control room communication panel 51 automatically tries to communicate with the interphone 53 of the house according to the command. At this time, a call is attempted to each of a plurality of houses connected to the fire receiver 20.

If the control room communication panel 51 does not receive a response through the interphone 53, it may transmit a phone call or message to a pre-registered emergency contact. Here, the emergency contact information is pre-stored in the communication panel, and is mainly a contact information of a personal communication terminal (eg, smart phone).

If the call to the intercom 53 of the house is successful, the control room communication panel 51 transmits an announcement asking whether a fire has occurred and receives a response thereto. For example, the control room communication panel 51 receives whether a fire breaks out by clicking a button on the intercom 53 or recognizes a resident's voice to receive whether a fire breaks out. And the control room communication board 51 transmits the result to the control server 40.

When the control server 40 receives fire occurrence from the control room communication panel 51, it maintains the operation of an alarm such as a siren and transmits a fire occurrence to the guard room communication panel 52 through the control room communication panel 51.

When the communication panel receives that there is no fire, the control server 40 stops the operation of alarms such as sirens. In addition, the control server 40 may transmit non-fire to the guard room communication unit 52 through the control room communication unit 51.

Due to this, it is possible to prevent waste of manpower due to malfunction of the fire alarm or fire receiver 20 .

Meanwhile, the control server 40 may manage a history of the fire detection signal. The control server 40 may store in the database together the reception time of the fire detection signal and whether or not a fire has occurred confirmed through the communication panel with respect to the fire detection signal.

As the history is managed in this way, the fire detector 10 or the fire receiver 20 of the line that frequently malfunctions can be checked.

On the other hand, when the fire receiver 20 receives a signal for each floor, the control room communication board 51 communicates with the intercom 53 of the house located on the n floor and the n+1 floor from which the fire detection signal was transmitted. You can try. Due to this, it is possible to prevent inconvenience to residents of the house by not making a confirmation call to the house where the fire and alarm have not been activated.

In this way, the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, but this is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible therefrom. . Therefore, the true technical scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
