[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a fire monitoring platform for ships, and the fire alarm sensors and water level detectors installed in the ship are connected to the main control module of the fire monitoring platform through the communication module. In a specific embodiment, the internal network communication architecture of the ship is as follows Figure 2 As shown, several sensors are connected to a data acquisition box, which forms an internal LAN through several switches and serial port servers. The data acquisition box sends collected data to industrial computers and workstations through the intranet.

[0030] In the existing technology, ship alarm systems can basically only prompt simple alarm signals on the interface, such as fire alarms, but cannot directly identify the exact alarm location. It is necessary to manually or in the background to query the installation location of the sensor in the database or record book according to the alarm sensor number to obtain the specific location of the alarm, which delays the golden rescue time. The main reason is that the installation location of the sensor cannot be directly associated and prompted.

[0031] The present invention aims at this problem in the prior art. The fire fighting platform developed by the present invention can directly associate the position of the sensor (i.e., the alarm) with the spatial position of the ship in the interface. When a certain alarm sounds, the cabin area associated with the alarm can be directly displayed in the general layout of the ship. The entire cabin area will sound an alarm, so that it can be intuitively seen which cabin on which floor of the ship has sounded the alarm. At the same time, the alarm will also flash in the cabin to sound the alarm, and it can be directly known which position of the alarm is sounding, because the installation position of the alarm in the figure is associated with the actual position in the cabin. At the same time, the alarm information will also be displayed on the platform interface, so that the alarm position can be directly known, which is convenient for effective disposal at the first time.

[0032] At the same time, when the fire alarm and the water alarm sound, the alarm-related cabin area will be highlighted in different colors, such as red for the fire alarm and blue for the water alarm, to distinguish them, so that you can know what the alarm is more directly. Figure 6 shown.

[0033] Specifically, the ship's general layout drawing is usually in CAD file format. The general layout drawing file is imported into the fire monitoring platform and converted into a bitmap by a graphic conversion unit to obtain the plan drawings of each floor of the ship, for example Figure 3 The plane bitmaps of the ceiling, driving layer, main deck layer and cabin bottom layer are shown, and then vector division is performed in the plane bitmap according to the actual cabin position and area, and the vector area position of each cabin area on each layer is divided, and the vector area position corresponds to the actual cabin area position one by one. Figure 7 shown.

[0034] Through vector area division, the spatial position relationship of the cabin in the system diagram is established in the system to facilitate data association operations. Otherwise, it can only be similar to the prior art, with general alarms and inability to achieve direct alarm information display.

[0035] After vector division is performed in the system diagram, the data of the divided vector area position can be associated with each module in the background. In a specific implementation method, if the ship is small, the number of cabins is small, and the number of installed sensors is not large, the fire sensor marking points and the water level detector marking points can be marked manually. Specifically, the alarm can be set in the vector area position through software such as Kingview. At this time, the vector area position where the alarm is located is directly associated. At the same time, the setting position of the alarm in the diagram is the actual installation position, and the alarm information and the cabin information corresponding to the alarm are marked and associated in the background for easy display and query, such as Figure 8 shown.

[0036] If there are a large number of sensors, the sensors connected to them can be bound to the marking points through the CAN bus node ID in each cabin. Finally, the sensors (alarms) set in the diagram can be directly associated with the vector area location, and there is also specific association information in the background.

[0037] In the event of an emergency, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when a certain alarm sounds, since the alarm is directly associated with the position of the vector area where it is located, the cabin area where the alarm occurs is covered by a solid color block, and the entire cabin area is highlighted in color in the system diagram. The cabin where the alarm is located can be intuitively known on the interface, and the corresponding sensor mark point that issues the alarm flashes at a fixed frequency, so that the specific alarm sensor position can be known, and the alarm position can be obtained at the first time, which is convenient for quickly eliminating hidden dangers.

[0038] Furthermore, when an alarm occurs in the entire vector area, in order to display it more intuitively, you can click on the vector area, and then the vector area will be expanded and displayed in the interface. That is, the interface can enlarge and display the vector area separately, making it easier to intuitively see which specific alarm is sounding, avoiding confusion caused by many alarms in the vector area.

[0039] In the prior art, most of the interfaces display the alarm signal - the number of the alarm sensor, but the specific alarm location is unknown. The specific alarm location can only be found through background query, which delays the golden rescue time. In addition, there are flashing alarm prompts in the prior art, but the ship's floor plan is very large and has many floors, while the sensor icon is relatively small, and there may be many sensors installed in the same area. It is basically as difficult as finding an ant on the entire interface. At this time, even if the sensor icon flashes and the alarm is alarmed, it cannot be observed immediately. It takes a lot of time to find it, and it is even more impossible to know which sensor is alarming.

[0040] As described above, the present invention establishes a vector position area and sets an alarm in the vector position area. The vector position area corresponds one-to-one to the cabin area in reality, and the installation position of the alarm in the vector position area also corresponds one-to-one to the position of the alarm in the cabin area in reality, thereby constructing an entire system association platform. When an alarm occurs, the entire vector position area where the alarm sensor is located will highlight the alarm in color, and the alarm sensor will also flash continuously in the vector position area to alarm. Through the fire monitoring platform provided by this embodiment, the crew can quickly learn the type of alarm from the human-computer interaction interface and locate the deck area or cabin area where the alarm occurs.

[0041] At the same time, because the alarm number location information, vector location area information, and actual cabin information are all associated in the background, when an alarm occurs, a fire alarm or water alarm graphic alarm prompt will appear in the blank area of ​​the interface, and the vector location area can be further highlighted in color. The vector location area will be enlarged and displayed in the interface, making it easier to observe the specific alarm location and type more intuitively, so as to make corresponding processing in time, respond to the alarm quickly, improve rescue efficiency, and reduce economic losses.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope defined by the appended claims.
