Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an evacuation route guidance system. More specifically, the present invention relates to an evacuation route guidance system that can utilize structures (for example, bench-type chairs) installed in buildings and underground spaces to guide a safe evacuation route in the event of a disaster.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, in underground spaces such as buildings and subways, when a disaster situation such as a fire or a power outage is detected by a sensor, an emergency guidance system including a guidance light for guiding people to an emergency exit is essentially installed. In most cases, the emergency guidance system lights up for a certain period of time even when the power supply of the building is temporarily interrupted due to a fire or a power outage, so that people can easily find the emergency exit. However, most of the conventional emergency guidance systems are installed on the ceiling surface and only mechanically indicate the positions of the evacuation route and the emergency exit. Therefore, the visibility cannot be ensured during a disaster, and people are often isolated. For this reason, there is a problem of expanding to secondary damage in an isolated state.

[0014] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of the evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a closed structural diagram of a chair structure to which the evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, Figure 3 is an open structural diagram of a chair structure to which the evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, and Figure 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a chair structure to which the evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

[0015] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 attached, an evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed in a building and / or underground space and uses bench-type chairs, which are normally used as rest facilities, to guide people to safe evacuation routes in the event of a disaster (e.g., fire, power outage, terrorist attack of unknown cause, etc.). The system includes a chair (10), an evacuation route guidance light (20), a control unit (30), and a survival toolkit (40), and may further include one or all of the following: an opening / closing drive unit (50), a warning light (60), an audio processing unit (70), and a locking device (80).

[0016] The chair section (10) is fixedly installed in a building or underground space and consists of a housing (11) having a storage space and a seating lid (12) that can be rotated open and closed from the housing (11). Here, the lid (12) is configured to function as a seating panel and can be opened, closed, and rotated on the housing (11) using hinges or the like.

[0017] The evacuation route guidance light (20) is an LED module assembly formed on the inner surface of the cover (12), and is controlled by the control unit (30) to light up in order to guide the evacuation route when the cover (12) is rotated open.

[0018] The control unit (30) is housed in the bottom interior of the housing (11) and can control not only the illumination of the evacuation route guidance lights (20), but also the operation of the opening / closing drive unit (50), the warning lights (60), and the audio output of the audio processing unit (70) and the locking or unlocking of the locking device (80). That is, when the control unit (30) receives a disaster detection signal from the disaster detector (100), which is one of the safety devices pre - constructed in a building or underground space, it controls the lighting of the evacuation route indicator light (20), the driving of the opening / closing drive unit (50) and the warning light (60), the voice output of the voice processing unit (70), and the locking or unlocking of the locking device (80).

[0019] The survival tool kit (40) is housed in the accommodation space of the housing (11) and can include any one or all of a wireless device, a GPS terminal for position tracking, a radio terminal for listening to disaster broadcasts, a gas mask, and a lighting device.

[0020] Here, the opening / closing drive unit (50) connects the housing (11) and the lid portion (12) and can be composed of a motor drive body composed of a motor, gears, and connecting rods, or a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder drive body. That is, the lid portion (12) is restricted from opening so as to be utilized as a rest facility during normal times, but can be rotated in the opening direction by the opening / closing drive unit (50) driven under the control of the control unit (30) when a disaster occurs. As a result, the lighting state of the evacuation route indicator light (20) formed on the inner surface of the lid portion (12) can be shown to the evacuees.

[0021] The warning light (60) is formed on the inner surface of the lid portion (12), is also controlled by the control unit (30), and is driven on in response to the disaster detection signal of the disaster detector (100). The voice processing unit (70) is formed on the inner surface of the lid portion (12), is also controlled by the control unit (30), and includes a speaker that guides the direction of the evacuation route by voice when the evacuation route indicator light (20) is lit in response to the disaster detection signal of the disaster detector (100). The voice guidance of the evacuation route direction processed by the voice processing unit (70) can include the disaster occurrence position, the evacuation direction, and the moving distance to the emergency exit. The locking device (80), together with the opening / closing drive unit (50), acts as a safety device to prevent the lid (12) from being opened under normal circumstances, and its unlocking is controlled by the control unit (30). In other words, the locking device (80) is normally unlocked only by the administrator, and when the locking device (80) is unlocked, the control unit (30) turns on the opening / closing drive unit (50) to rotate the lid (12) in the opening direction, which allows for the replacement of the survival tool kit (40) housed in the housing space of the enclosure (11). On the other hand, the locking device (80) is released only by the control unit (30) when a disaster occurs, and at the same time the ON drive of the opening / closing drive unit (50) is controlled, so that the lid (12) can rotate in the opening direction. Furthermore, the disaster detector (100) according to the embodiment of the present invention is a sensor that detects heat or smoke and can transmit a disaster detection signal to a disaster center (90) that manages the building or underground space. As described above, in the evacuation route guidance system according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the attached Figures 1 to 5, if a disaster (e.g., fire) occurs at a specific point in a building or a specific point in an underground space, the disaster is detected by an adjacent disaster detector (100), and the disaster detection signal detected by the disaster detector (100) is transmitted not only to the disaster center (90) but also to the control unit (30) in the housing (11) that constitutes the chair section (10). Subsequently, the control unit (30) first unlocks the locking device (80) and second turns on the opening / closing drive unit (50) so that the lid (12) rotates in the opening direction away from the housing (11). In this case, the opening and rotating of the lid (12) not only causes the evacuation route guidance light (20) formed on the inner surface of the lid (12) to be illuminated by the control unit (30), but also activates the warning light (60) and / or provides voice guidance through the speaker via the voice processing unit (70), thereby guiding the rapid evacuation of people adjacent to the chair (10).

[0022] On the other hand, even if the evacuation route guidance lights (20) are lit, the warning lights (60) are turned on, or voice guidance is output by the voice processing unit (70), if evacuees are unable to escape the disaster area, the housing (11) that constitutes the chair section (10) contains a survival toolkit (40) which includes a radio, GPS terminal, radio terminal, gas mask, and lighting device. Therefore, evacuees who are unable to evacuate according to the evacuation route and become isolated in the disaster area can wear a gas mask, use the lighting device to check their surroundings, communicate with the outside world via the radio, have their location tracked, listen to disaster broadcasts, and take other actions to minimize secondary damage caused by the disaster in the disaster area until rescue efforts progress.

[0023] The technical concept of the evacuation route guidance system of the present invention has been described above with reference to the attached drawings. This is merely an illustrative description of the best embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the particular preferred embodiments described above, and various modifications can be carried out by a person with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed in the claims, and such modifications are included within the scope of the claims.
