[0022] In the following description of the present invention, if a detailed description of a known function or structure is judged to obscure the main purpose of the present invention, its detailed description will be omitted. Furthermore, the terms used in the following description are defined taking into account the functions of the present invention and may vary depending on the intentions or practices of users and users. Therefore, the relevant meanings should be defined based on the entire content of this specification.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent fire alarm of the present invention includes: a fire alarm unit 10, which is arranged in the room 1 of each floor for alarming a fire; a balcony side alarm unit 20, which is arranged on the balcony 2 of each floor for reminding people that a fire has occurred downstairs; an indoor alarm unit 30, which is arranged around the fire alarm unit 10 for reminding people that a fire has occurred downstairs; and a controller 40, which controls the fire alarm unit 10, the balcony side alarm unit 20 and the indoor alarm unit 30 when a fire occurs, and controls the indoor alarm unit 30 to temporary lighting when it is confirmed that the indoor light 3 is not on.

[0024] 1. Fire Alarm Department 10

[0025] The fire alarm unit 10 is installed on the ceiling of the room 1 separated from the balcony 2, and directly detects the fire in the room and alarms through the alarm unit, or activates the alarm unit and alarms the fire through control based on detection of a separate fire detector. It is a ready-made product.

[0026] 2. Balcony side alarm unit 20

[0027] The balcony 2 set up on each floor of the building is composed of a combination of a flashing light (for example, a light emitting diode (LED)) that receives power from a power supply unit (one or more of a secondary battery and a commercial one) to flash and a speaker that outputs a prompt sound. The above-mentioned flashing light and speaker are activated by the control of the controller 40.

[0028] The above-mentioned flashing lights are used to remind indoor residents that a fire has occurred downstairs, so there are multiple flashing lights arranged vertically along the up and down directions, preferably flashing from bottom to top with a time difference, that is, residents upstairs can know that a fire has occurred downstairs by looking at the flashing lights of the alarm unit 20 on the balcony side indoors and judge that the smoke generated by the fire may be coming up from downstairs.

[0029] The balcony side alarm unit 20 also outputs a prompt sound through a speaker. Since the prompt sound is emitted from the outside balcony 2, the residents upstairs will not feel the discomfort caused by the sudden sound. However, preferably, the prompt sound is different from the prompt sound of the fire alarm unit 10.

[0030] 3. Indoor alarm unit 30

[0031] The indoor alarm unit 30 is used to alert residents of fires downstairs. It consists of a number of flashing lights and does not include a speaker. The flashing lights are formed on a fixing belt and fixed indoors by the fixing belt. They are arranged in a direction from the indoors to the balcony. They receive power from the power supply unit and are controlled by the controller 40. Figure 3 As shown, multiple flashing lights 321 are in the shape of arrows or the fixing belt 32 is in the shape of arrows, so that indoor residents can look toward the balcony. In this case, since the balcony-side alarm unit 20 is in a flashing state, it is possible to quickly confirm that a fire has occurred downstairs.

[0032] The indoor alarm unit 30 is installed on the fire alarm unit 10 and includes a rail 33 formed in a strip shape surrounding the fire alarm unit 10 and fixing bolts screwed to the rail 33 to fix the indoor alarm unit 30 to the surrounding area of ​​the fire alarm unit 10 .

[0033] In this case, the fixing belt 32 can be formed as a whole with the track 33 or fixed to the track 33, but can also be connected to the track 33 in a movably manner so as to be set in the direction pointing to the balcony side alarm unit 20 in a manner consistent with the various positions of the fire alarm unit 10.

[0034] The track 33 may include a plurality of lighting lamps in a circular shape according to the shape of the fire alarm unit 10 , and the lighting lamps are controlled by the controller 40 so as to light up together when the indoor alarm unit 30 is used as an auxiliary indoor light.

[0035] The track 33 has a track groove formed around its periphery along the circumference. One end of the fixing belt 32 in the longitudinal direction is slidably inserted into the track groove of the track 33 and secured by a bolt 34. In order to allow the fixing belt 32 to be secured at multiple locations, the track 33 is provided with multiple bolt holes along the circumference.

[0036] Additionally, an escape guide strip 35 may be included. This strip is arrow-shaped and consists of multiple guide lights. One side of the strip is movably connected to the track 33 and secured in the same manner as the fixed strip 32. This strip is positioned toward the emergency exit to guide residents. In this case, the indoor alarm unit 30 and the escape guide strip 35 should not be confused. For example, the flashing light 31 of the indoor alarm unit 30 may emit red light, while the escape guide strip 35 may emit cyan light.

[0037] In the drawings, the interval between the indoor alarm unit 30 and the escape guide tape 35 is 180 degrees, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0038] As another method of moving the indoor alarm unit 30, a rotatable circular rotating ring may be formed around the fire alarm unit 10 of the indoor alarm unit 30. Of course, the same method can be used for the escape guide 35. In this case, the rotating ring can be fixed by fastening a component to the rotating ring and the ceiling, or by fastening bolts around the rotating ring to the fire alarm unit 10.

[0039] 4. Controller 40

[0040] When a fire occurs, the controller 40 performs alarm control of the fire alarm unit 10 downstairs where the fire occurs and prompt control of the balcony side alarm unit 20 and the indoor side alarm unit 30 upstairs. Therefore, residents living in the place where the fire occurs will know that a fire has occurred through the alarm of the fire alarm unit 10 installed in their room, and residents upstairs will know that a fire has occurred downstairs through the balcony side alarm unit 20 and the indoor side alarm unit 30 when a fire occurs.

[0041] Furthermore, the controller 40 can control the indoor alarm unit 30 to temporarily serve as a supplementary indoor light when the indoor light 3 (ceiling light) installed around the fire alarm unit 10 has reached the end of its life or is not illuminated due to a wiring error. To this end, the controller 40 detects the operation of the switch 4 that turns the indoor light 3 on and off (confirms the switch contact) and detects whether the indoor light 3 is illuminated (detects the light and illumination sensor).

[0042] When switch 4 is turned on, controller 40 determines whether the switch is turned on and confirms whether indoor light 3 is on. In this case, if indoor light 3 is not on, it controls the lighting installed on indoor alarm unit 30 and / or track 33 to light up. In this case, to distinguish it from the fire alarm downstairs, indoor alarm unit 30 is lit instead of flashing.

[0043] The intelligent fire alarm of the present invention has the following effects.

[0044] 1. Set up balcony side alarm unit and indoor side alarm unit

[0045] The balcony side alarm unit 20 is provided on the balcony 2. In this case, if the balcony side alarm unit 20 is configured to be ventilated, the exhaust unit 24 is provided outdoors.

[0046] The fire alarm unit 10 is installed in accordance with fire regulations, and a track 33 is installed around the fire alarm unit 20. The indoor alarm unit 30 is then installed, in this case, so that it faces the previously installed balcony alarm unit 30. Furthermore, an escape guide 35 is installed so that it faces the emergency exit.

[0047] Furthermore, a controller 40 is provided and connected to the room lamp 3 and the switch 4 .

[0048] 1. Fire detection and alarm

[0049] When a fire occurs, the fire alarm unit 10 detects the fire and issues an alarm through an alarm unit. The alarm in this case is an alarm for the occupants living in the downstairs where the fire occurs to escape.

[0050] 2. Remind the upstairs

[0051] The fire detection information of the fire alarm unit 10 downstairs will link the balcony side alarm unit 20 and the indoor side alarm unit 30. The controller 40 starts the balcony side alarm unit 20 to control the flashing of the flashing light 21 and outputs the prompt sound through the speaker, while controlling the flashing light of the indoor side alarm unit 30 upstairs to flash.

[0052] The residents upstairs know that a fire has occurred downstairs by confirming that the balcony-side alarm unit 20 and the indoor-side alarm unit 30 have been activated, and thus can quickly escape.

[0053] 3. Indoor alarm lighting

[0054] Normally, the actions of the switch 4 and the indoor light 3 are detected. When the switch 4 is turned on, the controller 40 detects the illumination around the indoor light 3. If there is no illumination change, it is determined that the indoor light 3 is faulty. By controlling the indoor alarm unit 30 to light up and illuminate the area around the indoor light 3, the resident will confirm that the indoor light 3 is faulty. Before repairing the indoor light 3, the light from the indoor alarm unit 30 is used as lighting for living and repairing the indoor light 3.

[0055] On the other hand, Figure 4 As shown, according to the present invention, the flashing light 21 of the balcony side alarm unit 20 is not normally visible. The flashing light 21 is exposed to the outside only when a fire occurs downstairs and causes the flashing light 21 to flash. In addition, the balcony side alarm unit 20 is also included to ventilate the room.

[0056] The flash light 21 is set on one side of the ventilation duct 25. The ventilation duct 25 has a flow path 22 formed inside, an inlet part 23 and an outlet part 24 respectively connected to the indoor and outdoor areas, and a cover 26 is set around the ventilation duct 25.

[0057] by Figure 4 As a reference, the ventilation duct 25 is formed into a cylindrical structure with a straight surface on the right side, the flash lamp 21 is provided on the straight surface on the right side, the discharge part 24 is provided on the left side, and the inflow part 23 is provided on the upper side.

[0058] The cover 26 is formed into a curved or cylindrical shape surrounding the ventilation duct 25. If a curved shape is adopted, it forms a size that can open one of the flash lamp 21 and the discharge part 24. If a cylindrical shape is adopted, it forms a structure that includes the open part that can open one of the flash lamp 21 and the discharge part 24.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, the cover 26 is bidirectionally rotated by a driving unit driven by the controller 40 . The driving unit includes a driving motor 27 and a ring gear 28 formed on the cover 26 and meshing with the driving gear of the driving motor 27 to rotate.

[0060] The ventilation duct 25 exhausts indoor air to the outside by natural convection, and forcibly exhausts indoor air by a fan that receives power and starts when the detection value of a pollution sensor that detects indoor pollution level exceeds a reference value based on user operation or detection.

[0061] According to the present invention, the cover 26 may be provided only for exposing and hiding the flasher light 21 without ventilating the indoor air.

[0062] According to the structure described above, the flashing light 21 is usually hidden and does not cause discomfort to the residents. When a fire occurs downstairs, the cover 26 will rotate to expose the flashing light 21 and make it flash, thereby quickly reminding the residents of the fire downstairs.

[0063] Furthermore, when the flash light 21 is exposed, the exhaust portion 24 will be naturally shielded, thereby preventing the smoke generated by the fire from rising from the downstairs and entering the room upstairs.
