The indicator module 315 can be activated by the control unit 33 to generate a faint light that penetrates the indicator panel 312 so that the escape indicator 313 can be seen. The illuminating light module 316 can be driven by the control unit 33 to generate high-intensity illumination light that penetrates the indicating panel 312, and can be used to illuminate the front object. After the lighting unit 31 is normally energized, the indicating mode is taken as its normal state. At this time, the indicator module 315 is driven to emit light, so that the lighting unit 31 only has the function of indicating the direction of escape, when the lighting unit 31 is controlled. When the unit 33 drives the change to the illumination mode, the illumination module 316 is driven to emit light, so that the illumination unit 31 has both an escape direction indication and an illumination function.

The sensing unit 32 includes a pedestrian sensor 321 embedded in the housing 311, and a smoke sensor 322 installed in the housing 311. The pedestrian sensor 321 is in infrared sensing mode. The sensing pedestrian can continuously send a first signal to the control unit 33 when the person enters the lighting unit 31 within a predetermined distance range, and drives the control unit 33 to activate the lighting module 316, so that the lighting unit 31 The normal indication mode is switched to the illumination mode, and to illuminate the approaching pedestrian, the control unit 33 turns off the illumination module 316 after the pedestrian sensor 321 stops outputting the first signal, so that the illumination unit 311 switches back to the indication. mode.

The smoke sensor 322 can output a second signal to the control unit 33 when the fire smoke concentration is sensed to be higher than a predetermined value, and drive the control unit 33 to switch the illumination unit 31 to the illumination mode and drive the alarm unit. 34 an alarm sounds to alert the surrounding personnel through the alarm sound, and to provide sufficient illumination to facilitate the person to view the scene in front of the lighting unit 31.

The central control unit 43 can drive the tracking unit 42 to collect the first signals when the communication unit 41 receives the first signal sent by the emergency escape direction indicator lights 3, and according to the order of sending the first signals, Establish a storage path of action.

The central control unit 43 can prompt the communication unit 41 to send a fire alarm to the remote fire protection system 100 when the communication unit 41 receives the second signal, so that the relevant fire protection unit can take immediate action and drive the alarm recording unit. 44. The location of the emergency escape indicator 3 that sends out the second signal and the time when the second signal is sent, and the storage of a fire smoke distribution path information is established.

In addition, the central control unit 43 also drives the communication unit 41 to send an alarm signal to the emergency escape direction indicator 3 that sends out the second signal, and all emergency escape direction indicators 3 sent around the emergency escape direction indicator 3 to drive The emergency escape direction indicator 3 immediately activates the alarm unit 34 to emit an alarm sound, and intermittently activates the illumination mode of the illumination unit 31, and the high-brightness flash of the illumination unit 31 indicates the escape route, thereby achieving a more effective indication of escape. The effect of refuge.

When the emergency escape direction indicating system is used normally, each emergency escape direction indicator 31 can automatically switch from the indication mode to the illumination mode when sensing the approaching of the person, as the illumination, and then switch after the personnel leaves. Back to the indicator mode that produces weak light to save energy. And the emergency escape direction indicator light 3 sent by the sensed personnel respectively sends the first signal to the servo device 4, and the servo device 4 collects and establishes a motion path data, and in the event of a theft, the servo device 4 can be utilized. Record the action path data, quickly access the images recorded on the monitor (not shown) on the action path, help to quickly find suspicious candidates, no need to blindly read and filter all monitor data, so significant savings Survey time.

When a fire alarm occurs, in addition to the emergency escape direction indicator 3 that senses the smoke of the fire, the alarm device will immediately sound an alarm. After receiving the second signal, the servo device 4 will immediately notify the signal-connected fire protection system 100 and drive The other emergency escape direction indicator 3 around the emergency escape direction indicator 3 also sounds an alarm, and intermittently switches to the illumination mode, and the high-brightness flash is used to guide the escape route, and the emergency escape indicator that emits the second signal is recorded. The location of 3 and the time when the second signal is sent, the fire smoke distribution path information is established, so that the fire smoke distribution path information can be read later to help clarify the cause of the fire. However, when implemented, the emergency escape direction indicator lights 3 are not limited to flashing by intermittently switching to the illumination mode, and can also be maintained in a high-brightness illumination mode.

In summary, the emergency escape direction indicator 3 can automatically switch between the indication mode and the illumination mode when sensing the approach and departure of the person, and can sound an alarm and generate high-intensity illumination when the smoke is sensed. Designed to allow these emergency escape direction indicators 3 to be used directly to replace the traditional individual set of escape lights, smoke alarms and inductive lights, with the functions of escape indication, emergency lighting, sensing and alarm, and then In addition, wireless communication with the servo device 4 is possible, and the servo device 4 can control the activation of the emergency escape direction indicator 3, and can record the design of the storage action path data and the fire smoke distribution path data, so that the creation emergency escape In addition to providing a more effective escape and evacuation effect, the direction indicating system also has personnel monitoring and anti-theft functions, and can be used as a reference for judging the fire point of fire. Therefore, the object of the present invention can be achieved.
