Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of home protection and rescue equipment, specifically relating to an earthquake disaster reduction and refuge bed. Background Technology
[0002] An earthquake, also known as a seismic event or ground shaking, is a vibration phenomenon caused by the rapid release of energy in the Earth's crust, generating seismic waves. As a natural phenomenon, earthquakes primarily originate from the compression and collision between tectonic plates on Earth. This geological activity causes faulting and fracturing at plate edges and within the plates, thus triggering earthquakes. Due to their suddenness and devastating power, earthquakes have become a major geographical hazard. When an earthquake occurs, if people are buried in the rubble without necessary protective equipment and supplies, it often leads to the deaths of many trapped individuals. Especially when earthquakes occur at night, people are often awakened from their sleep, with almost no time to escape from buildings.
[0003] Given the above, establishing a safe shelter indoors is of paramount importance. Such a shelter can not only offer some protection against the threat of building collapse but also provide valuable time for waiting for rescue.
[0004] The information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background art of the art described herein. Therefore, the background art may contain certain information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art in this country. Utility Model Content

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] This embodiment provides an earthquake disaster mitigation and refuge bed, designed based on the core principle of providing safe shelter for people during an earthquake. See details for structural specifications. Figure 1-5 The bed frame 1 comprises a headboard 5 and a bed board 6. A refuge capsule 2 is cleverly integrated beneath the bed board 6 to support it. The refuge capsule 2 is manufactured using a casting process, resulting in high structural strength and ensuring the stability of the bed frame 1 during daily use. Several escape hatches 3 leading to the refuge capsule 2 are located on the side of the bed frame 1. Each escape hatch has a door 11, allowing evacuees to quickly enter the refuge capsule 2 through the side doors 11 when an earthquake strikes and evacuees cannot escape outdoors in time. The refuge capsule 2 employs a steel frame structure, assembled from at least two frame units 4. This structure possesses high strength and stability, effectively resisting the impact of building collapses caused by earthquakes and preventing evacuees from being directly crushed by collapsing structures, providing a relatively safe shelter environment. Simultaneously, food and water, such as long-lasting compressed biscuits and bottled water, are regularly stored and replenished within the refuge capsule 2 to provide necessary dietary support for evacuees while awaiting rescue.
[0029] Beneficial effects:
[0030] Providing a safe refuge space: When an earthquake occurs and it is impossible to escape to the outdoors in time, refugees can quickly enter refuge cabin 2 to avoid being directly injured by collapsed buildings, providing important protection for life safety and significantly reducing the risk of injury or death due to being trapped under buildings during an earthquake.
[0031] Ensuring basic survival needs: Food and water are regularly stored and replaced in refuge pod 2, especially using compressed biscuits and mineral water that can be stored for a long time, which meets the basic dietary needs of refugees while waiting for rescue, prolongs the waiting time for refugees, and increases the chances of survival.
[0032] Structural strength and stability: The steel frame structure of the refuge cabin 2 has sufficient structural strength to withstand the impact of the collapsing building, providing a stable shelter environment for refugees, reducing the damage caused by the collapse of the building, and buying precious time for waiting for rescue.
[0033] Practicality and Flexibility: This refuge bed can be used as a regular bed in daily life without affecting normal living, and can be quickly transformed into a refuge place in the event of an earthquake, demonstrating its practicality and flexibility and meeting the needs of use in different scenarios.
[0034] In conclusion, this earthquake refuge bed, through its reasonable design and structure, provides a safe and reliable shelter space for people during earthquakes, effectively protecting their lives and demonstrating significant benefits.
[0035] In one specific implementation, to further enhance the ease of use and safety of the refuge cabin 2 in emergency situations, two hatches 11 are carefully arranged on the front side of the refuge cabin 2, and one hatch 11 is arranged on each side. This layout allows refugees to flexibly choose the nearest hatch 11 to enter the refuge cabin 2 based on their location, effectively shortening entry time and improving the efficiency of responding to emergencies. Each hatch 11 is rotatably connected to the cabin through a high-strength, wear-resistant hinge shaft. This connection method not only ensures the smooth opening and closing of the hatch 11, but also has excellent stability and reliability, ensuring that the hatch 11 can be opened and closed normally in extreme situations such as earthquakes, providing a reliable entry and exit channel for refugees and avoiding refugees being trapped or other safety hazards due to hatch 11 malfunction.
[0036] In one specific implementation, see Figure 4 The frame unit 4 has an overall rectangular structure, and its design balances structural strength and functionality. The frame unit 4 mainly consists of a skeleton 7 and panels 8. The panels 8 can be made of steel, iron, or other metal materials with high strength and good toughness to meet the protection requirements of the refuge compartment 2 in extreme situations such as earthquakes. The panels 8 are fixedly connected to the skeleton 7 using bolt assemblies. Alternatively, depending on actual needs and process conditions, other reliable connection methods such as welding and riveting can be used to ensure a firm and stable connection between the panels 8 and the skeleton 7, together forming the robust structure of the frame unit 4.
[0037] Furthermore, the panel is equipped with several ventilation holes to ensure internal air circulation and prevent oxygen deficiency; filters are installed inside the ventilation holes to prevent dust and other contaminants from entering the cabin.
[0038] Furthermore, the frame 7 is designed as a rectangular frame structure with optimized spatial layout to achieve better functionality and safety. Specifically, three adjacent sides are set as hatches 11. This design fully considers the needs of evacuees entering the refuge cabin 2 from different locations, allowing evacuees to enter the cabin from the most convenient direction according to the actual situation, improving emergency response efficiency. The other three adjacent sides are provided with cross-shaped and straight support grids 9. For example, the bottom, side, and top sides are set as hatches 11, and the other three sides are set with support grids 9. The support grids 9 can effectively enhance the overall structural strength of the frame unit 4, improve its ability to resist external impacts, provide more reliable support and protection for the refuge cabin 2, and ensure that the refuge cabin 2 can remain stable during disasters such as earthquakes, providing a safe shelter space for evacuees.
[0039] In another preferred embodiment, to further enhance the structural strength of the refuge cabin 2 in order to cope with the enormous impact forces generated by extreme situations such as earthquakes, and to ensure that the refuge cabin 2 can provide more reliable safety protection for evacuees during disasters,
[0040] Triangular reinforcing ribs 10 are carefully provided at the corners of the frame 7. The unique design of the triangular reinforcing ribs 10 utilizes the geometric principle of stability of triangles, which can effectively disperse and bear stress from different directions, preventing the frame 7 from deforming or being damaged when subjected to strong external forces, thereby significantly improving the overall structural strength and stability of the frame 7.
[0041] Meanwhile, triangular reinforcing ribs 10 are also provided at the corners where the support grid 9 connects to the frame 7. This design further strengthens the connection between the support grid 9 and the frame 7, allowing them to be more closely integrated into an organic whole structure, jointly resisting external impacts and enhancing the refuge compartment 2's resistance to deformation and damage under extreme conditions.
[0042] Furthermore, the support grid 9 adopts an arched structure with an arched cross-section. The arched structure possesses excellent load-bearing capacity, distributing the load evenly across the supporting structures on both sides, reducing localized stress concentration, and effectively improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the support grid 9. This design not only enhances the structural strength of the refuge compartment 2 but also allows for more rational use of the internal space, providing refugees with a relatively spacious and comfortable refuge environment.
[0043] In summary, by providing triangular reinforcing ribs 10 at the corners of the frame 7 and at the corners where the support grid 9 connects to the frame 7, and by using an arched support grid 9, this preferred embodiment further increases the structural strength of the refuge cabin 2 in multiple aspects, significantly improves the safety and reliability of the refuge cabin 2, and provides more solid protection for refugees in the event of disasters such as earthquakes.
[0044] In another, more optimized implementation, given that after an earthquake, the bunk beds are often buried under building rubble, if evacuees use conventional methods to call for help, not only may rescuers have difficulty hearing their cries due to the rubble obstructing their view, but it will also excessively deplete their energy. Therefore, this implementation specifically adds an automatic alarm device inside the bunk bed.
[0045] The automatic alarm device comprises a robust housing, which is securely mounted on the inner wall of the bed compartment. The housing integrates several key electronic components, including: a power supply module, a vibration sensor, a motherboard, a GPS positioning module, an alarm module, and a wireless communication module.
[0046] The power supply module, as the core of the entire device, is responsible for providing stable and reliable power to all electronic components. It uses batteries to ensure continuous power supply during prolonged waiting periods for rescue. The vibration sensors act as the front end of earthquake monitoring, accurately capturing the P-wave signals generated during an earthquake and rapidly transmitting these signals to the motherboard. The motherboard, as the central microprocessor, undertakes the crucial tasks of signal processing and command transmission, determining whether an earthquake has occurred based on the signals from the vibration sensors. The GPS positioning module provides real-time, precise location information for those seeking refuge, offering critical positioning support for subsequent rescue efforts.
[0047] Once the mainboard detects an earthquake, the alarm module will immediately activate, rapidly transmitting the evacuees' location information to the public security alarm system via wireless communication. This series of automated processes ensures that the evacuation pods can automatically sound an alarm after an earthquake, providing rescuers with accurate location information of the evacuees, thereby significantly improving rescue efficiency and shortening the evacuees' waiting time for rescue.
[0048] It should be emphasized that the motherboard controller and its automatic control program involved in this utility model are implemented based on the principles of similar control programs in the prior art, and are not the innovation of this utility model. Furthermore, the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model all fall within the scope of existing technology, and those skilled in the art are fully capable of implementing their functions, requiring no further explanation. The protection scope of this utility model does not cover improvements to the software and methods.
[0049] In another preferred embodiment, considering the physiological needs that refugees may face during earthquake entrapment, a sealed container for collecting urine and feces is further added inside the refuge pod 2. This design aims to provide refugees with a more humane emergency solution, meeting their basic physiological needs during prolonged waits for rescue.
[0050] Specifically, to ensure ease of use and hygiene, disposable containers are preferred for collecting urine and feces. These containers are rationally designed and easy to operate; refugees can easily dispose of them outside the shelter after use, effectively preventing contamination of the interior environment and maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of Shelter 2. This creates a relatively comfortable and healthy environment for refugees awaiting rescue. This design detail fully reflects meticulous care for the actual needs of refugees, further enhancing the practicality and humanization of Shelter 2.
[0051] In another preferred embodiment, given that water and power outages often occur during earthquakes, if the hatch 11 is controlled by an electronic lock, it is highly likely that it will be unable to open or close properly due to power failure, which would pose a significant safety hazard and inconvenience to evacuees. Therefore, this embodiment specifically adds a mechanical locking device inside the hatch.
[0052] This mechanical locking mechanism follows the principles of simplicity and reliability, featuring a concise and clear structure and intuitive operation. Refugees do not require any external power source or complex tools; they can easily lock and open hatch 11 manually. This design ensures that in extreme situations such as earthquakes, refugees can quickly and smoothly enter the cabin and lock hatch 11 quickly and securely after entering, effectively protecting their safety and preventing them from falling into danger due to hatch 11 malfunction.
[0053] In another preferred embodiment, considering that the interior of the refuge cabin 2 may become dark after an earthquake, which would not only cause inconvenience to the evacuees but also exacerbate their negative emotions such as tension and fear, making it difficult for them to remain calm and wait for rescue, lighting is further added to the refuge cabin 2.
[0054] The lighting is directly connected to the power supply module in the automatic alarm system, providing a stable power source to ensure continuous illumination even in the event of an external power outage caused by an earthquake, offering a reliable light source for refugees. This design allows refugees to see clearly inside the evacuation chamber, facilitating necessary activities such as checking their physical condition and searching for supplies. It also helps alleviate their anxiety, providing a sense of security and hope in the darkness, allowing them to face the situation more calmly while awaiting rescue. The addition of lighting undoubtedly adds a touch of human touch to evacuation pod 2, improving the refugees' survival experience and chances of rescue.
[0055] In another preferred embodiment, the cabin is also equipped with a thermal insulation sponge pad to improve comfort and provide insulation to prevent evacuees from suffering hypothermia in cold environments.
