Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of emergency drill evaluation technology, specifically to an intelligent evaluation system and method for emergency drills in chemical storage tank areas. Background Technology

[0002] Chemical storage tank areas, as core areas of high-risk industries, store large quantities of flammable, explosive, toxic, and hazardous chemical raw materials, making their safety management crucial. To address potential fire accidents, regularly conducting fire emergency drills is essential for testing the feasibility of emergency plans and improving the practical capabilities of fire brigades.

[0003] Currently, in the field of safety assessment for chemical tank farms, existing technologies primarily focus on constructing static risk assessment index systems and calculating theoretical models. For example, Chinese patent CN104657810A discloses a method for assessing fire and explosion risks in petrochemical terminal tank farms. This technology establishes a multi-dimensional risk assessment index system encompassing hazardous materials, operational safety, personnel, environment, and management. It uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to calculate risk weights and combines a pool fire hazard model (including formulas for combustion rate, flame height, and thermal radiation flux) to determine the theoretical risk value of hypothetical accidents, thereby classifying acceptable risk levels. While this type of technology provides a quantitative risk classification basis for the safety management of tank farms at the theoretical level, helping to prevent accidents, it mainly focuses on risk prediction and classification before accidents occur, making it difficult to monitor and assess the rapidly changing on-site situation during drills.

[0004] In actual fire emergency drills, traditional assessment methods still primarily rely on manual on-site observation and subjective judgment. Evaluators typically stand in a safe area, scoring firefighting tactics and team coordination based on visual observation and experience. However, this traditional method has significant technical limitations: First, the environment at fire drill sites is complex, with abundant smoke, flame radiation, and water mist, easily obstructing human vision and making it difficult to penetrate smoke to accurately capture abnormal temperature distributions around storage tanks, subtle changes in flame patterns, and real-time fluctuations in wind direction and speed. Second, for key tactical indicators in firefighting and rescue, such as whether the thickness and area of ​​foam coverage meet standards and whether the angle and distance of water cannon positions are within the optimal effectiveness range, manual assessment struggles to provide precise quantitative data support, leading to highly subjective and inaccurate assessment results. Finally, manual recording and post-event analysis are time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in long assessment report generation cycles that cannot meet the needs of rapid debriefing and timely revision of emergency plans. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent assessment system and assessment method for emergency fire drills in chemical storage tank areas.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

The report generation module generates an evaluation report containing problem analysis and improvement suggestions based on the results of the quantitative calculation and comparison.

[0011] Furthermore, the intelligent assessment module's quantitative calculations for firefighting tactics include: constructing a dynamic risk area model based on wind direction data collected by the meteorological monitoring unit and fire intensity distribution collected by the thermal imaging monitoring unit; identifying the actual attack route of the fire brigade through the visible light acquisition unit; determining whether the actual attack route avoids high-risk areas in the dynamic risk area model; and calculating the route safety score.

[0013] Furthermore, the intelligent evaluation module's quantitative calculations for the water gun position layout include: identifying the trajectory, angle, and landing point of the water jet; calculating the distance deviation between the water jet landing point and the high-temperature hotspot area; and, in conjunction with the wind speed data, evaluating the deviation of the water jet spray due to wind force, and determining whether the current position is the optimal firing position.

[0014] Furthermore, the emergency response plan benchmark model includes task objectives, standard time nodes, and resource allocation schemes for each stage; the intelligent evaluation module can also track the progress of the exercise in real time, compare it with the standard time nodes, calculate the response speed deviation, and statistically analyze the actual combat forces deployed and their matching degree with the resource allocation scheme.
