Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire safety equipment technology, and in particular to a luminous fire safety indicator sign. Background Technology

[0002] Fire safety signs are an important component of fire emergency systems, primarily used to provide clear directional guidance for evacuation in emergencies such as fires. These signs are typically installed in prominent locations in public areas such as fire exits, stairwells, and corridors, and use luminous or reflective technology to ensure they remain clearly identifiable even in smoke-filled or power-outage environments.

[0003] In current scenarios involving multiple intersections such as cross-shaped and T-shaped fire lanes in buildings, traditional directional signs have significant drawbacks: First, each direction requires a separate sign, resulting in a large number of signs and a cluttered layout in the same area, increasing construction costs and potentially causing visual overload that can interfere with people's judgment. Second, fixed unidirectional signs cannot flexibly adapt to the multi-directional evacuation needs of intersections; if the building's function is adjusted or the lane layout changes later, the signs must be dismantled and replaced, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Third, multiple signs installed at high altitudes increase maintenance difficulty; lighting malfunctions or wiring problems are difficult to diagnose quickly, easily creating blind spots. Therefore, we propose a luminous fire safety directional sign to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings in the above-mentioned background technology and to propose a luminous fire safety indicator sign.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A luminous fire safety indicator sign includes a power supply control body, and an indicator mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the power supply control body;

[0007] The indicating mechanism includes multiple mounting plates fixedly installed on the outer wall of the power supply control body. The outer wall of the mounting plate has a concave slot, and an indicator sign is slidably connected to the inner wall of the concave slot. Mounting slots are provided on both the front and back sides of the indicator sign, and an illuminated indicator sign is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting slot. The power supply control body and the illuminated indicator sign are electrically connected through a power-conducting component.

[0008] Preferably, the power supply control unit includes a housing, a battery, and a fire control center board. The power supply component includes a fixed contact fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the concave slot, a sliding contact fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the indicator sign, adjacent fixed contacts and sliding contacts being slidably connected, the fire control center board and the fixed contacts being electrically connected through a first wire, and the luminous indicator sign and the sliding contacts being electrically connected through a second wire.

[0009] Preferably, a power supply wire electrically connected to the fire control center control board is fixedly installed on the top of the power supply control unit.

[0010] Preferably, an auxiliary directional light sign is fixedly installed on the outward-facing side of the sign.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of arc-shaped lifting rings are fixedly installed on the top of the power supply control body.

[0012] Preferably, the illuminated indicator sign includes a font-shaped luminous area, which includes the outline shape of Chinese characters, letters, or numbers, and the outline shape is made of a light-transmitting material and has an embedded light strip.

[0013] Preferably, the luminous indicator sign includes an arrow-shaped luminous area, which includes at least two different contour shapes among straight arrows, left-turning arrows, right-turning arrows, and bidirectional arrows. The contour shape is made of a light-transmitting material and has an embedded luminous light strip.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Through the interaction of the power supply control unit, the indicator mechanism, and the auxiliary directional signs, the combined design of the power supply control unit and the indicator mechanism allows for multi-directional guidance with only one set of equipment at multi-way intersections. The signs are slidably connected via the concave slots of the mounting plate and can be flexibly arranged in various directions at crossroads and T-shaped intersections. The double-sided illuminated indicator signs and auxiliary directional signs can provide clear guidance to multiple directions simultaneously. The power supply components ensure stable power supply, eliminating the need for distributed wiring, reducing the risk of failure, and effectively solving problems such as messy layout, blind spots, and difficult maintenance of traditional multi-sign layouts, significantly improving evacuation efficiency and emergency reliability.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 A luminous fire safety indicator sign includes a power supply control body 1, an indicator mechanism on the outer wall of the power supply control body 1; the indicator mechanism includes multiple mounting plates 2 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the power supply control body 1, a concave groove 3 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting plate 2, an indicator sign 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the concave groove 3, mounting grooves 5 are provided on both the front and back sides of the indicator sign 4, and a luminous indicator light 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 5, and the power supply control body 1 and the luminous indicator light 6 are electrically connected through a power-conducting component.

[0022] To further explain, the power supply control unit 1 is designed separately from the indicator mechanism, which facilitates centralized management of power and signals; the mounting plate 2 and the concave slot 3 enable the sliding quick installation and removal of the indicator sign 4, which is convenient for later replacement and maintenance; the indicator sign 4 is equipped with luminous indicator signs 6 on both sides, which can provide fire guidance in two directions at the same time and expand the coverage area; the power supply components ensure stable transmission of power and control signals, and ensure that the indicator sign continues to work in emergency situations.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the power supply control unit 1 includes a housing, a battery, and a fire control center board. The power supply components include fixed electrical contacts 7 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the concave slot 3, and sliding electrical contacts 8 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the indicator 4. Adjacent fixed electrical contacts 7 and sliding electrical contacts 8 are slidably connected. The fire control center board and the fixed electrical contacts 7 are electrically connected through a first wire, and the luminous indicator 6 and the sliding electrical contacts 8 are electrically connected through a second wire.

[0024] To further explain, the power supply control unit 1 integrates the outer casing, battery, and fire control center board to achieve independent power supply and remote control, thereby improving emergency response capabilities. The sliding connection between the fixed contact 7 and the sliding contact 8 eliminates the need for rewiring during the installation and removal of the indicator 4, simplifying the maintenance process and ensuring stable and reliable circuit connections, thus avoiding indicator failure caused by poor contact.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the power supply control unit 1 is fixedly equipped with a power supply wire that is electrically connected to the fire control center board.

[0026] To further explain, the power supply wire is connected to the fire control center control panel, enabling external power supply and centralized management to ensure the stable operation of the indicator signs for a long time; when the battery power is insufficient, the external power supply can be seamlessly switched to prevent indicator interruption; at the same time, it supports remote monitoring and unified control of the working status of multiple indicator signs by the fire control center.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an auxiliary directional sign 9 is fixedly installed on the outward-facing side of the sign 4.

[0028] To further explain, the auxiliary directional sign 9 provides additional escape direction guidance, which is especially suitable for complex building layouts or scenarios where visibility is obstructed, helping people quickly identify evacuation routes; working in conjunction with the luminous indicator sign 6, it enhances the guidance and recognizability of the signage system, reducing the risk of getting lost or misjudging directions during evacuation.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple arc-shaped lifting rings 10 are fixedly installed on the top of the power supply control main body 1.

[0030] To further explain, the curved hanging ring 10 facilitates the hanging and installation of directional signs on ceilings or high walls, flexibly adapting to different building structures; its curved structure avoids sharp edges from causing scratches or damage to personnel or cables, while enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the hanging structure, ensuring that the signs are firmly installed and not easily fall off.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the illuminated indicator sign 6 includes a font-shaped luminous area, which includes the outline shape of Chinese characters, letters, or numbers. The outline shape is made of a light-transmitting material and has an embedded light strip.

[0032] To further explain, the illuminated areas of the font shape adopt the outline design of Chinese characters, letters or numbers, and the light strip embedded in the light-transmitting material clearly displays key information such as "safety exit" and "evacuation route", which complies with fire protection signage standards; the high brightness and high recognition of the illuminated text can still effectively transmit information in extreme environments such as dense smoke and darkness, ensuring that personnel can quickly identify it.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the illuminated indicator sign 6 includes an arrow-shaped luminous area, which includes at least two different contour shapes among straight arrows, left-turning arrows, right-turning arrows, and bidirectional arrows. The contour shapes are made of a light-transmitting material and have embedded light strips.

[0034] To further explain, the arrow-shaped luminous area provides multiple directional indicators (straight, left turn, right turn, and two-way). Through the combination of light-transmitting material and luminous light strips, the outline is clear and the direction is obvious. It is suitable for places with multiple exits or complex passage layouts, helping people to quickly determine the escape route, reduce evacuation decision time, and improve emergency escape efficiency.

[0035] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0036] 1. Equipment suspension installation

[0037] In the indoor ceiling at the cross or T-shaped intersection of the fire lane, find the preset installation point (usually at the load-bearing structure of the ceiling), align the multiple arc-shaped lifting rings 10 on the top of the power supply control unit 1 with the expansion bolts or hooks on the ceiling, slowly lift the equipment so that the arc-shaped lifting rings 10 are fully fitted into the bolts or hooks, ensuring that the equipment is suspended stably and the center of gravity is centered to avoid tilting.

[0038] 2. Connect external power supply and control lines

[0039] Lift the protective cover on the top of the power supply control unit 1 to expose the power supply wire interface that is electrically connected to the fire control center board. Insert the plug of the external power supply line (such as the fire emergency power supply line) into the power supply wire interface and rotate the locking buckle clockwise until it is locked to ensure a firm electrical connection. At the same time, according to the construction drawings, connect the control signal line (if any) to the corresponding port of the fire control center board. After completion, close the protective cover.

[0040] 3. Install indicator sign 4 to power supply control unit 1

[0041] Take out the sign 4 and observe the position of the sliding contact 8 on both sides (located at the edge of the sign 4, corresponding to the fixed contact 7 in the concave slot 3). Align the sign 4 with the concave slot 3 on the outside of the mounting plate 2, so that the sliding contact 8 initially contacts the fixed contact 7 in the slot. Then slide the sign 4 horizontally along the slot direction until the sign 4 is fully embedded in the slot. Ensure that the sliding contact 8 and the fixed contact 7 are tightly fitted without loosening or shifting. Repeat this step to install multiple signs 4 onto the mounting plates 2 around the power supply control body 1 (e.g., signs 4 for 4 directions need to be installed at a crossroads, and signs 4 for 3 directions need to be installed at a T-shaped intersection).

[0042] 4. Adjust the illuminated indicator sign 6 and the auxiliary directional sign 9.

[0043] Connect the fire emergency power supply or start the battery power supply, and observe whether the luminous indicator lights 6 in the mounting slots 5 on both sides of the front and back of the sign 4 are lit. The luminous areas of the font shape of the luminous indicator lights 6 (such as the Chinese characters for "Safety Exit" and arrow symbols) should be clearly displayed. The arrow-shaped luminous areas (straight, left turn, right turn, and bidirectional arrows) need to be adjusted according to the actual layout of the intersection (such as four directional arrows to be displayed simultaneously at a crossroads, and corresponding directional arrows to be displayed at a T-shaped intersection). If a sign 4 is found to be not lit, gently push and pull the sign 4 to ensure that the sliding contact 8 and the fixed contact 7 are in good contact. If it is still not lit, disconnect the power supply and remove the sign 4. Check whether the connection between the second wire and the sliding contact 8 is loose. Tighten it again and try again.

[0044] 5. Calibrate the direction and angle of the indicator.

[0045] According to the intersection structure, fine-tune the installation angle of the sign 4: Hold both sides of the sign 4 with both hands and slide it slightly up and down or left and right along the concave groove 3 so that the outward side of the sign 4 (including the auxiliary directional light sign 9) is aligned with the directions of each exit of the fire lane (such as the four directions of east, west, south and north of a crossroads, and the three directions of traffic of a T-shaped intersection). Ensure that the arrow tip of the illuminated indicator sign 6 points to the nearest safe exit and the font is facing the line of sight of evacuees to avoid unclear indication due to angle deviation.

[0046] 6. Testing of the fire alarm control panel in the fire alarm control center

[0047] The fire control center remotely sends commands to test whether the fire control panel in the main power supply control unit 1 can receive signals normally. For example, when simulating a fire alarm, the control panel should switch the luminous indicator 6 to a high-brightness flashing mode, and the auxiliary directional indicator 9 should simultaneously enhance the arrow direction indication. The battery should automatically switch to power supply mode after power failure to ensure that the indicator signs work continuously for no less than 90 minutes. During the test, observe whether the brightness, color switching and arrow dynamic changes of each indicator 4 are consistent. If there is a delay or abnormality, check whether the connection between the first wire and the fixed power contact 7 is secure, or reconfigure the parameters through the control panel interface.

[0048] 7. Routine maintenance and replacement procedures

[0049] If the damaged indicator 4 needs to be replaced, first disconnect the power supply, slide the indicator 4 outward along the concave slot 3 until it is completely removed, remove the old indicator 4 and install the new one (ensure that the sliding contact 8 of the new one matches the fixed contact 7 of the slot). If the light strip of the luminous indicator 6 is faulty, use a screwdriver to loosen the fixing screws on the edge of the mounting slot 5 of the indicator 4, remove the light-emitting area module made of light-transmitting material, replace the internal light strip and re-fix it. After maintenance, repeat steps 4-5 to calibrate the indicator direction and test the power-on effect.

[0050] Through the above steps, the sign can form a 360° fire guidance without blind spots at crossroads or T-shaped intersections. The illuminated text and arrows clearly point to the safety exits, and the auxiliary directional light sign 9 enhances directional guidance, ensuring that people can quickly identify evacuation routes in emergency situations.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
