Description

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY TO WHICH A USEFUL MODEL IS

The utility model relates to the field of fire-fighting equipment, equipment for emergency situations, to systems for centralized, early detection of emergency situations, warning and evacuation of people.

BACKGROUND

A comprehensive warning system for emergencies, illumination of escape routes and fire-fighting equipment, as well as the organization and distribution of people’s flows during evacuation is known, comprising a power supply unit and light annunciators included in the fire alarm system, characterized in that it contains at least at least on the ceiling of the room light sirens emitting light spots along the entire route of evacuation of people and fire extinguishing means, communications, alarms, electrical panels, etc., while The light source used in optical signaling LEDs. (RF patent for utility model No. 63092).

A disadvantage of the known technical solution that impedes the achievement of the aforementioned technical result is that the functional units of the system are made in separate buildings installed at a distance from each other. This not only increases the consumption of materials, but also reduces the survivability of the system under the action of adverse factors characteristic of an emergency. In addition, in the known system does not apply a wireless channel for transmitting a signal about the appearance of factors characteristic of an emergency. This makes the known system vulnerable to factors affecting the signal lines (flame, explosions, wiring breaks).

DISCLOSURE OF A USEFUL MODEL

The objective of this utility model is to create a device with a combination of the following qualities:

1) the ability to detect and notify the operator’s remote control about the occurrence of factors specific to emergency situations of various kinds (such as smoke, fire, gas leak, disturbance of public order, etc.), various types of sensors;

2) the inclusion of emergency and evacuation lighting in the room;

3) fault tolerance and uninterrupted operation under the action of adverse factors characteristic of emergency situations (disconnection of the AC electric network, burnout of electrical and signal wires).

The technical result of the utility model is to reduce the weight and dimensions of the equipment, providing the detection of many different warning signs / signs immediately indicating an emergency, alerting people and safe evacuation from the premises.

It also saves resources and materials due to the absence of the need for duplication of auxiliary systems of many devices for various purposes (such as power, signal wiring, cases, etc.) and the need for their separate installation.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A USEFUL MODEL

The proposed detector comprises a housing with at least two power supplies installed inside it, one of which provides power from an alternating current electric network, and the other contains an electric battery, and a controller configured to receive and process signals, at least from a smoke sensor, as well as from at least one means of telemetry selected from the group including a temperature sensor, a gas composition analyzer, a carbon monoxide sensor, a domestic gas sensor, an ow sensor gi, an electric voltage sensor, an electric current sensor, a vibration sensor, a motion sensor, a video camera and a microphone, and also with the possibility of notifying that the signals from said sensors go beyond predetermined limits by means of at least one wired and one wireless communication channel, wherein said controller is configured to turn on emergency lighting sources including at least directional lights mounted on said housing.

The above lights turn on automatically when interruptions or lack of constant lighting can cause:

- injury or death of staff and visitors;

- fire, explosion and other man-made emergency situations;

- leakage of toxic substances;

- violation of the operation of strategic facilities;

- termination of emergency television and radio broadcasting.

The detector provides two main types of lighting: emergency lighting and security lighting.

Evacuation lighting is able to ensure the visibility of workers' passageways in the event of an accident, fire or natural disaster, if the main power is disconnected as a result of the incident. This type of lighting must be used in cramped rooms and narrow corridors, and in other rooms that have poor natural light, or are completely devoid of it. Emergency lighting devices should be installed on stairwells and stairs in tall buildings with more than six floors. Stairs should be lit if more than 50 workers are planning to go through one emergency exit. If more than a hundred people work in the administrative building or in the production workshop, then evacuation lighting is organized at all traumatic and industrial places, and in other rooms through which the evacuation takes place.

Safety lighting is used to de-energize the main lighting devices in industrial production halls and other rooms where darkness can contribute to fire, accident and other serious incidents. When working with safety lighting, workers should be able to continue working without disrupting the process. Safety lighting is mandatory organized in child care facilities, regardless of the number of children there. Important strategic sites are also necessarily provided with security coverage. These may include cleaning and pumping stations, call points, control rooms and other rooms where a lack of light can interrupt important mechanisms.

Both types of emergency lighting operate from a power source independent of and from each other.

The module provides emergency detection, identification, notification of the operator and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, as well as provides sufficient autonomous lighting for evacuating people, highlighting the exit signs, the ability to turn on smoke control projectors, which even in dense smoke are visible as green poles showing the exit directions. The information collected by the detector from the mentioned sensors can be visually displayed in a remote control center on a two- or three-dimensional layout / plan of the building, which makes it possible to identify the nature of an emergency state with an accuracy of 5 meters, visually observe it using a camera, and quickly take measures to managed evacuation.

During operation, the detector collects and processes telemetry from the aforementioned sensors via wired or wireless communication channels, processes it through the aforementioned controller, and transmits it via a wired or wireless communication channel to the operator’s console. In the event of a power outage, the detector automatically switches to battery power. In case of damage to the wired communication channel - the detector receives telemetry and transmission via wireless communication channels. In the event that the signals from the sensors exceed the predefined values, the above controller automatically, or by command from the operator’s console, activates the executive bodies of the fire fighting system and / or emergency prevention.

In one preferred embodiment, the detector and the operator’s remote computer exchange messages at fixed intervals, for example, every 30 seconds. If the detector response to the operator’s computer message comes within the usual waiting time, this indicates the integrity of the communication channel, the health of the detector and the computer. The detector can be configured in such a way that in the case of a long absence of computer messages (due to freezing, breakdown, power outage), it notifies (for example, via a wireless communication channel) the Ministry of Emergencies, the head of the security service, the owner of the building, etc. Thus, the detector provides continuous monitoring of the operator’s computer operability, increased fault tolerance and uninterrupted operation of the system as a whole.
