Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application pertains to the field of residential buildings and relates to a safe residential building and a socially functional community. Background Technology
[0002] For a long time, residential buildings (especially high-rise buildings) have lacked interconnected staircases or elevators between units, and there are no passageways between units on the same floor. The entire building is residential (with underground parking), resulting in two major drawbacks: significant safety hazards and a severe lack of social functions. First, if a fire breaks out in a unit, floor, or apartment, residents in the same unit, on the same floor, and above are in grave danger and have difficulty escaping. Second, in the event of a serious crime, neighbors cannot be informed in time, cannot provide timely assistance, and cannot effectively stop the crime. Third, the lack of public spaces leads to fewer opportunities for residents (especially those in different units) to meet, visit, or chat with other residents, resulting in a lack of harmony and interpersonal relationships. Fourth, with all floors dedicated to residential use, the lack of social functions means residents rely on the outside world for many daily needs, such as shopping, dining, accommodation, elderly care, early childhood education, cultural activities, entertainment, minor illnesses, disasters, repairs, and maintenance, making life extremely inconvenient. If the community is located in a remote area, its value is even more limited. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This application proposes a safe residential building that effectively solves various problems associated with existing residential buildings and communities. While significantly improving the fire prevention, escape, and crime prevention capabilities of high-rise residential buildings, it also enables them to easily possess comprehensive social service functions. By integrating these functions into the residential building, the community can enjoy various social services without relying on surrounding facilities, greatly improving the quality of life for residents and significantly increasing the economic value of the residential building and community. The specific technical solution is described below.
[0004] The technical solution is as follows: A safe residential building includes residential units, residential floors, and staircases or staircases and elevators. The feature is that it further includes at least one safe floor, which is provided with a safe passageway connecting all residential units in the same floor with the staircases or staircases and elevators. The safe residential building includes at least two residential units, and each residential unit has the staircases or staircases and elevators.
[0005] In a preferred embodiment, fireproof partition doors are provided at both ends of the safety passage. The fireproof partition doors are normally kept open, but switch to a conditionally automatic closing state in case of fire. That is, the fireproof partition doors open when pushed by a force in the event of a fire and close when the force disappears.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the area outside the safe floor and safe passageway is provided with safe floor residences or facilities and buildings that provide social services.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the safe floor of the building, which houses the social service facilities, is located near or on the ground floor.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the safe floor near the ground, which houses the social service facilities and buildings, is provided with a separate dedicated pedestrian staircase or dedicated vertical elevator.
[0009] A type of social functional community is characterized by having multiple safe residential buildings as described above.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, some or all of the entrances and exits of the safe residential building are provided with rain- and sun-protected walkways.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this application are that it completely changes the situation in traditional residential buildings where each household only has one evacuation or escape route—a staircase or elevator within their own unit. The establishment of safe floors and safe passageways provides multiple evacuation or escape routes for each household, greatly improving their safety. Although the safe passageway occupies a small area of the safe floor, it can house fire-fighting equipment, while the remaining area can still be used for residential or other social facilities or buildings, greatly increasing the functionality of the residential building, increasing public spaces within the building, forming a residential building community or neighborhood community, and improving the quality and value of the commercial housing. At the same time, this application is highly operable and low-cost. Since the key to this application is the establishment of safe passageways, it does not involve the building's load-bearing structure. This application can be implemented in any reinforced concrete building, suitable for both new buildings and the conversion of old floors into safe floors. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0014] The technical solution of this application is: a safe residential building 1, including residential units, residential floors 2, and staircases 3 or staircases 3 and vertical elevators 4, characterized in that: it further includes at least one safe floor 5, the safe floor 5 being provided with a safe passageway 6 connecting all residential units on the same floor with the staircases 3 or staircases 3 and vertical elevators 4, the safe residential building 1 including at least two of the aforementioned residential units and each of the aforementioned residential units having the staircases 3 or staircases 3 and vertical elevators 4. See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This application's safe residential building 1 allows residents of any residence in the same building to reach any other residence in the same building via the safety passageway 6 and the staircase 3 or the vertical elevator 4 on one or more of the safe floors 5. It also allows residents of any residence in the same building to exit the safe residential building 1 via the safety passageway 6 and the staircase 3 or the vertical elevator 4 on one or more of the safe floors 5, choosing an exit 11 from any other residence in the same building. The safe floors 5 can be constructed simultaneously with the safe residential building 1, or they can be converted from existing residential floors 2. The number of safe floors 5 or the number of residential floors 2 between two safe floors 5 should be determined based on the actual situation; this application does not specify this, but it is recommended that there be three or four residential floors 2 between two safe floors 5. It should be noted that the highest floor of the safe residential building 1 must be the safe floor 5. If the highest floor of the safe residential building 1 is not the safe floor 5 but the residential floor 2, then all the staircases 3 must be able to connect to the roof and the roof must serve as a safe passageway 5 so that people in the residential floors 9 near the roof can use this passageway to enter the staircases 3 of other residential units for evacuation or escape. Of course, people in the residential floors 9 near other safe floors 5 or people in the safe floors 10 can enter the staircases of the safe residential units for evacuation or escape through the nearest safe passageway 5.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, fire-resistant partition doors 7 are provided at both ends of the safety passageway 6. These fire-resistant partition doors 7 are normally open but automatically close under certain conditions in the event of a fire; that is, they open when pushed by a force during a fire and close when the force disappears. For safety floors 5 that are high or relatively tall, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 Outside of the safety passageway 6, there are safe residential floors 10. If a fire breaks out on a certain floor of a unit in the safe residential building 1, flames or smoke may enter the safety passageway 6, injuring the residents of the safe residential floors 10 with entrance doors in the safety passageway 6, and even causing further harm through the safety passageway 6. Therefore, it is necessary to install fire-resistant partition doors 7 on both sides of the safety passageway 6, and to install automatic sensing and control devices. The automatic sensing and control devices keep the fire-resistant partition doors 7 open when there is no fire, thus keeping the safety passageway 6 unobstructed. However, in the event of a fire, the fire-resistant partition doors 7 switch to conditional automatic closing; that is, the fire-resistant partition doors 7 open when pushed by a person to allow passage, and automatically close when the pushing force disappears to cut off smoke and flames. This can both ensure that people can evacuate through the safety passageway 6 in the event of a fire and prevent smoke and flames from entering the safety passageway 6.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the area outside the safe floor 5 and the safe passageway 6 is provided with safe floor residences 10 or facilities and buildings providing social services, such as cultural, early childhood education, elderly care, sports, medical, shopping, non-motorized vehicle parking, fire protection, security, property management, public welfare, and community management facilities or buildings. See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 The purpose of safety passageway 6 is to ensure the evacuation and escape of relevant personnel. Its width and area do not need to be too large. The area outside safety passageway 6 should be fully utilized to reduce the economic losses caused by the reduction of conventional commercial housing due to the establishment of safety floors 5. In areas outside safety passageway 6 of high-rise, high-rise, or all safety floors 5, appropriately sized safety floor residential buildings 10 can be constructed as much as possible. In areas outside safety passageway 6 of low-rise safety floors 5, facilities or buildings with social service functions such as culture, early childhood education, elderly care, sports, medical care, commerce, non-motorized vehicle parking, fire protection, security, property management, public welfare, and community management can be constructed. These facilities or buildings are managed by the owners' committee or its entrusted property management company to provide more services to the owners, facilitate their lives, and thus improve the functionality and commercial value of the safety residential building and the residential community.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the safe floor 5, which includes social service facilities and housing, is located near or on the ground floor. See also Figure 3Most homeowners want to keep their neighborhood quiet and peaceful, and do not want a noisy or chaotic environment. Therefore, the safe floor 5, which has social service facilities and buildings, should be as far away from the residential floor 2 as possible, and preferably close to or located on the ground floor. In other words, the entire safe residential building 1 can form an upper residential area and a lower service area.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the safe floor 5, which is located near the ground floor and houses social service facilities, is provided with a separate dedicated staircase or elevator. The safe floor 5, which houses social service facilities and houses, generally experiences high pedestrian traffic and a large volume of material transport, and should not be shared with the residential unit's staircase 3 or elevator 4, to avoid disturbing the residents' peace and quiet. It is best to have a separate dedicated staircase and elevator, which can be located within the safe residential building 1 or at the rear of the building, opposite to the entrance 8 of the safe residential building 1.
[0019] A type of socially functional residential community, characterized by having multiple safe residential buildings 1 as described above. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 While social service facilities and housing can be provided on the ground floor or lower floors (5) of a single safe residential building, human social needs are numerous and will only increase with societal progress. A single safe residential building can only provide limited and costly social services, making it difficult to adequately meet the needs of its residents. However, when a community comprises multiple safe residential buildings (1), the community's owners' committee or its entrusted property management company can uniformly allocate, furnish, utilize, and manage all the safe floors (5) on the ground floor or lower floors of each safe residential building (1) according to their different social functions. This provides more and more satisfactory social services to all residents, maximizing the community's social service capabilities. Furthermore, by concentrating various social functions within the safe residential buildings (1), more space within the community can be freed up for green spaces, landscaping, and other suitable outdoor areas. In this way, the community can meet the diverse social needs of its residents without relying on the surrounding community, thus possessing strong survivability and a high level of community quality and value.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, rain- and sun-protected walkways are provided between some or all of the entrances 8 of the safe residential buildings 1. These walkways facilitate movement between residents of different safe residential buildings 1 and access to public places with various social functions. The rain and sun protection ensures residents' movement is unaffected by wind, rain, snow, or scorching sun. When the walkways encounter roadways, they can cross over bridges or underground tunnels, ensuring that the pedestrian walkways and roadways do not interfere with each other.
[0021] The aforementioned safe residential building 1 or social functional community can also utilize modern monitoring, big data, and artificial intelligence information technologies to achieve more reliable or intelligent security management: It connects to the public security system externally, allowing for timely intervention in the event of fires or criminal cases; it can also connect to administrative service centers or relevant departments, essentially establishing branches of relevant social departments within the community, enabling residents to access social or governmental services without leaving the community; internally, it provides comprehensive management, with seamless monitoring of each building, floor, corridor, and the entire community, establishing a community monitoring center and emergency response center to promptly detect and handle various emergencies; relying on big data, scanning detection technology, and artificial intelligence technology, it accurately identifies and handles various security threats such as knives, firearms, batteries, explosives, fuel, and poisons, promptly detecting fires and serious crimes, and promptly alerting relevant residents with voice prompts to take escape or avoidance measures or to deter crime, while simultaneously notifying the emergency response center and relevant personnel to immediately participate in emergency response and restore safety and order.
[0022] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will be able to make various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, all of which are within the scope of protection of this application, defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
