Description

Den foreliggende oppfinnelse vedrører en lysanordning for plassering i et antall, fortrinnsvis samtlige, rom i en bygning for lokalisering av personer, dyr og verdier ved brann eller annen krisesitasjon i bygningen. The present invention relates to a lighting device for placement in a number, preferably all, of rooms in a building for locating people, animals and valuables in the event of a fire or other emergency in the building.

De fleste mennesker som omkommer ved branner i bygninger omkommer ikke som følge av selve brannen og varmen som utvikles, men av røykutviklingen. Av den grunn er det aller viktigste ved bekjempelse av branner å raskt lokalisere hvor i bygningen det befinner seg mennesker for deretter raskest mulig å få reddet dem ut. Det er selvfølgelig også viktig å lokalisere hvor det befinner seg dyr og andre verdier som kan reddes ut. Most people who die in fires in buildings do not die as a result of the fire itself and the heat that develops, but from the development of smoke. For that reason, the most important thing when fighting fires is to quickly locate where people are in the building and then get them out as quickly as possible. It is of course also important to locate where animals and other valuables are located that can be rescued.

Det finnes flere forskjellige hjelpemidler for mennesker som befinner seg i bygninger som brenner, som for eksempel brannvemdokumentasjon, rømningsplan, røykvarslere, brannalarm, sprinkleranlegg og pulverapparater, men det finnes ikke et tilstrekkelig effektivt hjelpemiddel som gjør at redningsmannskaper raskt kan finne ut hvor i bygningen det mest sannsynlig befinner seg mennesker, dyr og andre verdier under en brann, og da særlig et lysbasert hjelpemiddel. Sistnevnte ut fra den kjensgjerning at mennesker raskest oppfatter ting visuelt, at lys kan sees gjennom røyk og at det ved branner og andre katastrofer ofte vil være en kakofoni av lyder som vanskeliggjør lydbasert lokalisering på åstedet. There are several different aids for people who are in burning buildings, such as fire documentation, escape plans, smoke detectors, fire alarms, sprinkler systems and powder devices, but there is not a sufficiently effective aid that allows rescue teams to quickly find out where in the building the people, animals and other valuables are most likely to be under a fire, and in particular a light-based aid. The latter based on the fact that people perceive things most quickly visually, that light can be seen through smoke and that during fires and other disasters there will often be a cacophony of sounds that makes sound-based localization at the scene difficult.

Av tidligere kjent teknikk kan nevnes US 4.640.278 og US 5.325.279, der førstnevnte Of prior art, US 4,640,278 and US 5,325,279 can be mentioned, where the former

publikasjon beskriver en lysanordning som er fast montert i et vindu og som kan tennes manuelt for å gjøre redningsmannskap oppmerksom på at det befinner seg mennesker i vedkommende rom, mens sistnevnte publikasjon beskriver en liknende, ikke fastmontert lysanordning. Fordi begge disse lysanordningene må tennes manuelt av en person som befinner seg i rommet må denne personen være ved bevissthet og kunne handle rasjonelt for at lysanordningen skal kunne fungere etter hensikten. publication describes a lighting device which is permanently mounted in a window and which can be switched on manually to make rescuers aware that there are people in the room in question, while the latter publication describes a similar, non-fixed lighting device. Because both of these lighting devices must be switched on manually by a person in the room, this person must be conscious and able to act rationally in order for the lighting device to function as intended.

Av ytterligere kjent teknikk skal også nevnes US 6.114.948, hvor det er beskrevet en lysanordning for plassering i et antall rom i en bygning for lokalisering av personer ved brann. Lysanordningen kan tennes ved utløsning av en alarm, og lyset fra anordningen er kodet etter hvor mange personer som vanligvis befinner seg i rommet. Dette antallet er forhåndsinnstilt uten at det er nærmere forklart. Of further prior art, US 6,114,948 should also be mentioned, where a lighting device for placement in a number of rooms in a building for locating people in the event of a fire is described. The lighting device can be switched on when an alarm is triggered, and the light from the device is coded according to how many people are usually in the room. This number is preset without further explanation.

For å overvinne ulempene med den ovennevnte, tidligere kjente teknikk, og eventuelt å supplere denne, er det i henhold til oppfinnelsen tilveiebrakt en lysanordning kjennetegnet ved at lysanordningen tennes ved utløsning av en alarm og at lyset som avgis fra lysanordningen er kodet etter hvor sannsynlig det er at nevnte formål for lokalisering befinner seg i det aktuelle rommet. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the above-mentioned, previously known technique, and possibly to supplement this, according to the invention, a lighting device is provided, characterized in that the lighting device is switched on when an alarm is triggered and that the light emitted from the lighting device is coded according to how likely it is is that said purpose for localization is located in the room in question.

Sannsynligheten kan fordelaktig bestemmes ut fra en forekomstmåling av nevnte formål for lokalisering. Alternativt kan kodingen være basert på en forventet sannsynlighet uten at målinger utføres. The probability can advantageously be determined based on an occurrence measurement of the aforementioned purpose for localization. Alternatively, the coding can be based on an expected probability without measurements being performed.

Lysanordningen og alarmen kan fordelaktig være anordnet i avstand fra hverandre og lysanordningen utløses av alarmen ved hjelp av ledningsbaserte signaler, eller ved hjelp av trådløse signaler, fortrinnsvis lydbaserte. Lysanordningen og alarmen kan alternativt utgjøre en integrert enhet, for eksempel ved at lysanordningen utgjør en del av en røykvarslerenhet. The light device and the alarm can advantageously be arranged at a distance from each other and the light device is triggered by the alarm by means of wire-based signals, or by means of wireless signals, preferably sound-based. Alternatively, the lighting device and the alarm can form an integrated unit, for example in that the lighting device forms part of a smoke alarm unit.

På et for redningspersonell kjent sted i bygningen, fortrinnsvis i bygningens inngangsparti, kan det fordelaktig være anordnet en plantegning over bygningen hvor kodingen for hvert av antallet rom fremgår. Alternativt kan en slik oversikt forefinnes hos redningspersonellet som bringer denne med seg ved utrykning. In a place in the building known to rescue personnel, preferably in the building's entrance, a floor plan of the building can advantageously be arranged showing the coding for each of the number of rooms. Alternatively, such an overview can be found with the rescue personnel who bring this with them when called out.

Rom med høy sannsynlighet er fordelaktig kodet med gult eller hvitt stroboskopisk lys, rom med middels sannsynlighet er kodet med grønt lys og rom med liten sannsynlighet er kodet med rødt lys, idet gult eller hvitt stroboskopisk lys antas å være best synlig under mange forhold. Hvilke som helst tre lett fraskillbare lys eller farger er imidlertid tenkelig, og som et av mange alternativer kan rom med høy sannsynlighet være kodet med rødt lys, rom med middels sannsynlighet være kodet med gult lys og rom med liten sannsynlighet være kodet med grønt lys. Det overordnet viktige er imidlertid at lyset fra lysanordningene kan sees godt av redningspersonell og er lett fraskillbare som nevnt ovenfor, samt at redningspersonellet kjenner til den aktuelle fargekodingen. Rooms with high probability are advantageously coded with yellow or white stroboscopic light, rooms with medium probability are coded with green light and rooms with low probability are coded with red light, as yellow or white stroboscopic light is believed to be best visible under many conditions. However, any three easily distinguishable lights or colors are conceivable, and as one of many alternatives, high-probability rooms could be coded with red light, medium-probability rooms could be coded with yellow light, and low-probability rooms could be coded with green light. The overall important thing, however, is that the light from the lighting devices can be seen clearly by rescue personnel and is easily separable as mentioned above, and that the rescue personnel know the relevant color coding.

Lysanordningen kan fordelaktig innbefatte en tidsstyring hvor kodingen av lyset endres etter tidspunkt og ukedag. Dette fordi særlig forekomsten av personer vil være forskjellig ved ulike tidspunkter og ukedager. Som eksempler vil det generelt være mer sannsynlig at personer befinner seg i soverom om natten enn om dagen, og i næringsbygninger vil det generelt være mer sannsynlig at personer befinner seg på hverdager enn på helligdager. The light device can advantageously include a time control where the coding of the light changes according to the time and day of the week. This is because the number of people in particular will be different at different times and days of the week. As examples, it will generally be more likely that people will be in bedrooms at night than during the day, and in commercial buildings it will generally be more likely that people will be there on weekdays than on holidays.

Lysanordningen i henhold til oppfinnelsen kan være utformet og tilknyttet en alarm på et utall måter, og dette vil ikke beskrives detaljert her da slike detaljerte utforminger anses å være innlysende for fagmannen i lys av den foreliggende beskrivelse. Som et eksempel kan imidlertid lysanordningen innbefatte en vanlig lyspære med en farge valgt i overensstemmelse med fargekoden for det aktuelle rom. Likeledes vil det finnes mange måter å aktivere lysanordningen på, og som eksempler kan nevnes utløsning ved hjelp av røykvarsler montert i bygningen, ved hjelp av hovedboks for sprinkleranlegg, ved hjelp av brannalarm montert i bygningen eller ved hjelp av brannalarm aktivert fra brannstasjon. Selv om anordningen i henhold til oppfinnelsen primært er tenkt benyttet i forbindelse med brann kan den også ha anvendelse ved andre krisesituasjoner, som for eksempel jordskjelv. Som en ytterligere anvendelse kan lysanordningen være tilknyttet en innbruddsalarm, og slik at lysanordningen tennes ved utløst alarm for å avskrekke tyvene eller tyvene. The lighting device according to the invention can be designed and connected to an alarm in a number of ways, and this will not be described in detail here as such detailed designs are considered to be obvious to the person skilled in the light of the present description. As an example, however, the lighting device may include an ordinary light bulb with a color chosen in accordance with the color code for the room in question. Likewise, there will be many ways to activate the lighting device, and examples include triggering using smoke alarms installed in the building, using a main box for sprinkler systems, using a fire alarm installed in the building or using a fire alarm activated from a fire station. Although the device according to the invention is primarily intended to be used in connection with a fire, it can also be used in other crisis situations, such as an earthquake. As a further application, the light device can be associated with a burglar alarm, and so that the light device is turned on when the alarm is triggered to deter the thieves or thieves.

Siden lysanordningen i henhold til oppfinnelsen er tenkt benyttet ved krisesituasjoner i en bygning, og da primært brann, der strømbrudd lett vil kunne inntre er lysanordningen fordelaktig anordnet med en nødstrømtilførsel, fortrinnsvis batteri. Since the lighting device according to the invention is intended to be used in crisis situations in a building, and then primarily fire, where power cuts can easily occur, the lighting device is advantageously provided with an emergency power supply, preferably a battery.
