Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an evacuation route guidance system, and more specifically to an evacuation route guidance system that utilizes structures (e.g., bench-type chairs) installed in buildings or underground spaces to guide people to a safe evacuation route in the event of a disaster. [Background technology]

[0002] In general, buildings and underground spaces such as subways are required to be equipped with emergency guidance systems that include guidance lights to guide people to emergency exits when a disaster situation such as a fire or power outage is detected by a sensor. In most cases, the emergency guidance system remains lit for a certain period of time even if the building's power supply is temporarily cut off due to a fire or power outage, thereby allowing people to easily find emergency exits. However, most conventional emergency guidance systems are installed on the ceiling and only mechanically indicate the locations of evacuation routes and emergency exits, which means that visibility is not ensured when a disaster occurs, leaving people isolated in many cases. This creates the problem of secondary damage expanding in isolated situations. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide an evacuation route guidance system that configures an evacuation route guidance unit that guides evacuation routes to structures such as bench-type chairs installed in buildings or underground spaces, and is configured to store a survival toolkit within the structure, thereby customizing and providing the evacuation route required by evacuees and allowing evacuees to use the survival toolkit to ensure safety from disaster areas. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The evacuation route guidance system, which is a means for solving the problems of the present invention, comprises: a seat unit that is fixedly installed in a building or an underground space and includes a housing having a storage space and a seating lid that can be rotated and opened / closed from the housing; an evacuation route guide light formed on the inner surface of the cover and turned on to guide people through an evacuation route when the cover is rotated open; and a control unit housed in the inner bottom surface of the housing and controlling the lighting of the evacuation route guidance lights; the housing is configured to house a survival tool kit in its storage space, and the control unit controls the lighting of the evacuation route guidance lights in response to a disaster detection signal from a disaster detector.

[0005] In addition, the housing and the lid are connected by an opening / closing drive unit, and the control unit controls the on-drive of the opening / closing drive unit so that the lid is rotated open in response to a disaster detection signal from the disaster sensor.

[0006] Furthermore, a warning light is formed on the inner surface of the cover, which is controlled by the control unit and is turned on in response to a disaster detection signal from the disaster detector.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a closed structural diagram of a chair structure to which an evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, FIG. 3 is an open structural diagram of a chair structure to which an evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram of a chair structure to which an evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

[0015] Referring to the accompanying Figures 1 to 4, an evacuation route guidance system according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed in a building and / or underground space and utilizes bench-type chairs that are normally used as rest facilities to guide people to a safe evacuation route in the event of a disaster (e.g., fire, power outage, terrorist attack of unknown cause, etc.), and includes a seat unit (10), an evacuation route guidance light (20), a control unit (30), and a survival tool kit (40), and may further include any or all of an opening / closing drive unit (50), a warning light (60), an audio processing unit (70), and a locking device (80).

[0016] The seat section (10) is fixedly installed in a building or underground space and is composed of a housing (11) having a storage space and a seating lid section (12) that can be rotated and opened from the housing (11). Here, the cover (12) is configured as a seating panel that can be opened and closed by using a hinge or the like attached to the housing (11).

[0017] The evacuation route guide light (20) is an LED module assembly formed on the inner surface of the cover portion (12), and is controlled to light up by the control portion (30) so as to guide the evacuation route when the cover portion (12) is rotated open.

[0018] The control unit (30) is housed in the inner bottom surface of the housing (11) and can control the lighting of the evacuation route guide lights (20), as well as the opening / closing drive unit (50) and the driving of the warning lights (60), the audio output of the audio processing unit (70), and the locking or unlocking of the locking device (80). In other words, when the control unit (30) receives a disaster detection signal from a disaster detector (100), which is one of the safety devices pre-installed in a building or underground space, it controls the lighting of the evacuation route guide light (20), the driving of the opening / closing drive unit (50) and the warning light (60), the audio output of the audio processing unit (70), and the locking or unlocking of the locking device (80).

[0019] The survival tool kit (40) is housed in the housing (11) and can include any or all of a walkie-talkie, a GPS device for tracking location, a radio for listening to disaster broadcasts, a gas mask, and a lighting device.

[0020] Here, the opening / closing drive unit (50) connects the housing (11) and the cover (12), and can be composed of a motor drive unit consisting of a motor, gears, and connecting rods, or a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder drive unit. In other words, the opening of the cover (12) is restricted so that it can be used as a rest facility during normal times, but in the event of a disaster, it can be rotated in the opening direction by the opening / closing drive unit (50) which is driven under the control of the control unit (30), and as a result, the lit status of the evacuation route guidance lights (20) formed on the inside surface of the cover (12) can be shown to evacuees.

[0021] The warning light (60) is formed on the inner surface of the cover portion (12), and is also controlled by the control portion (30) and is turned on in response to a disaster detection signal from the disaster detector (100). The voice processing unit (70) is formed on the inner surface of the cover unit (12), is also controlled by the control unit (30), and includes a speaker that provides voice guidance on the direction of the evacuation route when the evacuation route guide light (20) is turned on in response to a disaster detection signal from the disaster detector (100). The voice guidance on the evacuation route direction processed by the voice processing unit (70) can include the location of the disaster, the evacuation direction, and the distance to the emergency exit. The locking device (80), together with the opening / closing drive unit (50), serves as a safety device to prevent the lid unit (12) from being opened under normal circumstances, and the unlocking thereof is controlled by the control unit (30). In other words, the locking device (80) can be unlocked only by an administrator under normal circumstances, and when the locking device (80) is unlocked, the control unit (30) can turn on the opening / closing drive unit (50) to rotate the lid (12) in the opening direction, which allows the survival tool kit (40) stored in the storage space of the housing (11) to be replaced, etc. On the other hand, the locking device (80) is unlocked only by the control unit (30) in the event of a disaster, and at the same time, the opening / closing drive unit (50) is controlled to be turned on, allowing the lid unit (12) to rotate in the opening direction. The disaster detector 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is a sensor that detects heat or smoke, and can transmit a disaster detection signal to a disaster center 90 that manages a building or an underground space. In this way, in the evacuation route guidance system according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the accompanying Figures 1 to 5, when a disaster (e.g., fire) occurs at a specific point in a building or a specific point in an underground space, the disaster is detected by an adjacent disaster detector (100), and the disaster detection signal detected by the disaster detector (100) is transmitted not only to the disaster center (90) but also to the control unit (30) in the housing (11) constituting the seat part (10). Thereafter, the control unit (30) firstly unlocks the locking device (80), and secondly turns on the opening / closing drive unit (50) so that the lid portion (12) rotates in the opening direction from the housing (11). At this time, by rotating the cover (12) open, not only the control unit (30) controls the lighting of the evacuation route guide lights (20) formed on the inner surface of the cover (12), but also the warning lights (60) are turned on and / or the audio processing unit (70) issues audio guidance through the speaker, thereby guiding the people adjacent to the seat (10) to evacuate quickly.

[0022] On the other hand, if evacuees are unable to escape the disaster area even when the evacuation route guide lights (20) are on, the warning lights (60) are on, or the voice guidance is being output by the voice processing unit (70), the housing (11) constituting the chair part (10) contains a survival toolkit (40) including a walkie-talkie, a GPS terminal, a radio terminal, a gas mask, and lighting equipment, etc., so that evacuees who are unable to evacuate along the evacuation route and are isolated in the disaster area can not only wear a gas mask and check their surroundings using lighting equipment, but also communicate with the outside world through the walkie-talkie, guide their location tracking, listen to disaster broadcasts, etc., thereby minimizing secondary damage caused by the disaster in the disaster area until rescue operations begin.

[0023] The technical concept of the evacuation route guidance system of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this is merely an illustrative description of the best embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific preferred embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains without departing from the gist of the invention as claimed in the claims, and such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the claims.
