Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fire safety monitoring devices, and in particular to a high-rise building cable shaft fire safety monitoring device and method based on multi-modal fusion AI technology. Background Art

[0002] In the fire safety monitoring of high-rise building cable shafts, the data obtained by single-type sensors may have large deviations due to reasons such as equipment failures and insufficient sensitivity. That is, when single-type parameters have data errors due to electromagnetic, communication, and measurement reasons, when only relying on single-type error data for perception at this time, the perception accuracy will decrease or even become unable to perceive. For example, since there is no fire separation layer set between the cable shaft floors, the smoke will rise along the cable shaft all the way to the top floor without reaching the concentration that triggers the alarm. At this time, relying solely on the smoke alarm for fire safety monitoring cannot detect fire hazards in time, which may cause serious losses of life and property.

[0003] Therefore, the research focuses on the cause monitoring, prediction, isolation, traceability, and responsibility identification of electrical fires in high-rise buildings, masters the key technologies of sensing, monitoring, and boundary traceability of typical electrical fire characteristic quantities, and is an urgent common need to achieve the goals of effective monitoring, timely warning, scientific isolation, and responsibility traceability, and enhance the ability to obtain, implement, feedback, and control fire hazards at any time, so as to effectively improve the fire safety index of the high-rise living environment and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the power system.

To avoid interference from human factors, the weight factor is used as a network parameter and obtained by training;

[0012] The AI chip module can communicate with the Beidou positioning / time service module, notify the Beidou positioning / time service module to send down data with spatio-temporal attributes, provide accurate position guidance for fire rescue, and provide a basis for time series tags for electrical accident analysis and traceability;
