Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fire emergency response, and in particular to a manual fire alarm and broadcast dispatching system and method for tunnel operations. Background Art
[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the growing demand for infrastructure construction, the application of tunnels and underground engineering in the construction sector continues to expand. However, such projects generally face problems such as complex construction environments, low visibility, and severe noise interference. Some tunnels also pose the risk of accumulation of flammable or explosive gases, posing a serious threat to personnel safety and equipment operation. In the event of a fire or other emergency, existing emergency communication and alarm systems have the following technical deficiencies: 1. Insufficient wireless communication reliability: Existing technologies rely on wireless communication devices such as mobile phones and walkie-talkies to transmit alarm information. However, in confined tunnels or complex geological environments, these devices are susceptible to signal attenuation and electromagnetic interference, leading to communication delays or interruptions. This makes it difficult to provide the dispatch center with real-time and accurate alarm information, delaying emergency response. 2. Limited on-site warning methods: Traditional manual fire alarm systems lack a linkage mechanism with audible and visual alarm devices. Once the alarm is triggered, they are unable to quickly generate a strong and perceptible audible and visual warning signal. This makes it difficult to effectively alert nearby personnel to evacuate in noisy and low-visibility environments, posing a risk of secondary accidents.
[0003] 3. Limited communication equipment functions: The existing fire telephone system only supports single-point communication with the dispatch center, and extensions cannot be interconnected. The equipment lacks an explosion-proof design and is difficult to adapt to flammable and explosive or harsh construction environments. At the same time, there is no continuous alarm prompt function when the call is not answered, which may lead to the omission of key information. Summary of the Invention
