[0005]

[0001] The present invention relates to a building structure safety self - inspection system, and particularly to a building structure safety self - inspection system that can actively detect and notify the presence or absence of abnormalities in the building structure.

Background Art

[0002] When an old building is subjected to an earthquake or an external impact, structural damage is likely to occur. Therefore, to ensure the safety of the building, it is necessary to rely on manual inspections by experts such as structural engineers. For this reason, it is difficult for general building owners and residents to immediately grasp the structural safety of the building after a disaster occurs, and it is necessary for the owners and residents to arrange experts themselves and request on - site inspections, which takes a considerable amount of time.

[0003] Also, when the damage to the building is serious and rescue is required, if there is no notification to the rescue agency by others, the rescue agency cannot grasp the location of the building and dispatch personnel to conduct rescue activities.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a device or system that can actively inspect and notify the structural safety of a building.

[0013] Each electronic device 30 is signal-connected to the cloud platform 20 and receives notifications from the cloud platform 20 so that the user can confirm them.

[0014] The coupling portion 11 of the small sensor module 10 is installed on the building's wall surface S1, column S2, or beam S3 by magnetic attraction or adhesive method. Furthermore, the small sensor module 10 includes at least a 3-axis accelerometer unit 12, which can detect information on the vibration intensity and frequency response of the building.

[0016] The transmission unit 13 includes at least one of a SIM card 131 and a WIFI module 132, and the transmission unit 13 transmits the detection information by the wireless signal of the SIM card 131 or the WIFI module 132.

[0017] The cloud platform 20 includes at least a database 21, and the database 21 can back up and record the detection information of the small sensor module 10 and the calculation and analysis results of the cloud platform 20.

[0018] The cloud platform 20 includes at least a calculation and analysis unit 22, and the calculation and analysis unit 22 receives the detection information of the small sensor module 10 and can calculate and analyze whether there are abnormalities or damages in the structure of the building based on the detection information.

[0019] The cloud platform 20 includes at least a notification unit 23, and the notification unit 23 can notify the electronic device 30 of the result of the calculation and analysis.

[0020] The user of the electronic device 30 is at least one of the resident, owner of the building, rescue agency, and appraisal agency.

[0021] The electronic device 30 is any one of a smartphone, a landline phone, and a computer.

[0022] When using the building structure safety self-inspection system, the small sensor module 10 is coupled to the wall surface S1, column S2, and beam S3 of the building using the coupling part 11 (shown in FIGS. 2 to 4). The small sensor module 10 detects information on the vibration intensity and frequency response of the building, transmits the detected information to the cloud platform 20, and the cloud platform 20 performs calculations and analyzes on whether there are any abnormalities or damages in the structure of the building based on the detected information of the small sensor module 10, and notifies one or more electronic devices 30 so that the user can confirm the results of the calculations and analyzes. Preferably, the user of the electronic device 30 may be the resident, owner, and / or rescue agency, or appraisal agency of the building. By enabling the resident, owner, and / or rescue agency, or appraisal agency to immediately grasp the safety status of the building, the purpose of proactive building structure safety inspection can be achieved.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, when the owner or resident receives a notification of the calculation and analysis results from the cloud platform 20 through the electronic device 30, the owner or resident can immediately evacuate from the building. When the rescue agency receives a notification of the calculation and analysis results from the cloud platform 20 through the electronic device 30, the rescue agency can immediately dispatch personnel to the building for rescue. If the calculation and analysis results received by the rescue agency include structural abnormalities or damages in multiple buildings, the rescue agency can immediately dispatch personnel to those buildings simultaneously, or determine the rescue priority order of those buildings according to the degree of structural abnormalities or damages in each building and then conduct the rescue. When the appraisal agency receives a notification of the calculation and analysis results from the cloud platform 20 through the electronic device 30, the appraisal agency can actively contact the owner or resident and adjust the schedule of the on-site investigation.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple small sensor modules 10 can be installed on a part of a building's wall surface S1, column S2, or beam S3. For example, they can be installed on the structure of a relatively vulnerable floor within the building, allowing for immediate detection of any abnormalities or damage to the structure of that relatively vulnerable floor. For example, if the third and fourth floors are relatively vulnerable in a ten-story building, installing small sensor modules 10 on the walls S1, columns S2, and beams S3 of the third and fourth floors respectively allows the small sensor modules 10 to detect vibration intensity and frequency response information of the building's walls S1, columns S2, and beams S3. The cloud platform 20 receives the detection information from the small sensor modules 10 and performs calculations and analyses to determine whether there are any abnormalities or damage in the structure of the relatively vulnerable floors of the building. This allows the building owner, residents, and / or the relief or appraisal agency to respond immediately and prevent the spread of structural abnormalities or damage to the building. However, these small sensor modules 10 may also be installed at other structural locations in the building.

[0025] Furthermore, in the best embodiment of the present invention, multiple small sensor modules 10 can be installed on each wall surface S1, column S2, and beam S3 of the building, and preferably, the coupling portion 11 of the small sensor module 10 is installed on the wall surface S1, column S2, or beam S3 of the building by magnetic attraction or adhesive method, the small sensor module 10 detects information on the vibration intensity and frequency response of each wall surface S1, column S2, and beam S3 of the building, the cloud platform 20 receives the detection information from the small sensor module 10 and performs calculations and analyses regarding the overall structure of the building and whether or not abnormalities or damage have occurred in each structure, and notifies the electronic device 30 of the calculation and analysis results so that the user can check them.

[0026] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the miniature sensor module 10 may further include a 3-axis acceleration sensor unit 12 (as shown in Figure 1), which accurately detects information on the vibration intensity and frequency response of the building. Preferably, the 3-axis acceleration sensor unit 12 is in standby mode under normal conditions, and when a certain amount of instantaneous movement occurs in the building, the 3-axis acceleration sensor unit 12 activates to detect information on the vibration intensity and frequency response of the building. This reduces the power consumption of the small sensor module 10, allows the small sensor module 10 to have a built-in power supply, eliminates the need for wiring, and achieves convenience and the effect of rapid installation.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the miniature sensor module 10 may further include a transmission unit 13 (as shown in Figure 1), which transmits the detection information to the cloud platform 20 via a wired or wireless signal.
