Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a smart fire response system, and more specifically, to a smart fire response system configured to guide a safe movement path to a fire extinguisher in the early stages of a fire and to guide a safe movement path to an emergency exit when evacuation is necessary. Background Technology

[0002] Suppressing a fire in its early stages is of utmost importance, and a fire extinguisher is the device capable of doing so. Furthermore, as one of the most easily accessible firefighting tools for people inside a building, a fire extinguisher plays a crucial role in suppressing the fire in its early stages.

[0003] If the fire is not extinguished in the early stages, rapid evacuation from the building is required. When evacuating, do not use the elevator; instead, safely reach the ground level via the stairs.

[0004] In this regard, Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 2688749 (hereinafter referred to as the "Prior Art") discloses a voice guidance fire alarm and evacuation system for emergency response in the event of a fire. The voice guidance fire alarm and evacuation system of the Prior Art is characterized by comprising a manual control box for activating firefighting facilities in the event of a fire, firefighting facilities that operate according to the operation of the manual control box, and a voice guidance siren connected to the manual control box and operated according to the operation of the manual control box.

[0005] The voice guidance fire alarm and evacuation system of the prior art converts the conventional simple siren-type alarm into a voice guidance alarm and enables rapid evacuation in accordance with the voice guidance, thereby maximizing the preservation of human lives and enabling the fire to be extinguished early.

[0006] In addition, the timing of delays and activation of fire extinguishing agent systems is appropriately controlled to prevent confusion caused by unnecessary activation during evacuation, and to ensure that the systems are activated at the optimal time.

[0007] However, the voice guidance fire alarm and evacuation system described in the prior art requires the installation of a separate manual control box inside the building. Furthermore, it cannot be used in buildings that are not equipped with separate fire extinguishing agent facilities.

[0008] In addition, the voice-guided fire alarm and evacuation system of the prior art induces evacuation by generating alarms and providing route guidance with voice, but since it simply guides evacuation to a pre-planned evacuation route, there is a risk of casualties if the evacuation route cannot be used due to flames or smoke.

[0066] The seating portion (83) is provided on the opposite side of the ring (81) with respect to the connecting portion (82). The seating portion (83) forms a long bar shape in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion (82). The seating portion (83) extends from the end of the connecting portion (82) to the opposite side.

[0067] When the loop (81) is hooked onto the hook (70), the seating portion (83) is positioned at the very bottom due to gravity. The hanging member (80) can be made of lightweight, high-strength carbon fiber. Thus, the loop (81) is hooked onto the hook (70), and a person can hang from the seating portion (83).

[0068] The ceiling (3) can be connected to the steel beam or reinforced concrete structure of the building by means of a support (3a). Thus, damage to the ceiling (3) caused by the weight of a person hanging from the hanging member (80) can be prevented.

[0069] The control unit (40) moves the vehicle (60) along the path (P2) to the emergency exit (5) when the data from the detector (20) is greater than or equal to a danger value. The danger value refers to a concentration of carbon monoxide that is toxic to the human body. For example, the danger value may refer to 35 ppm.

[0070] For example, a vehicle (60) can be moved along a safe path (P2) from a second room (1B) where a person is located to an emergency exit (5) on the upper surface of the ceiling (3) of the corridor (2) (see FIG. 5).

[0071] A weight sensor (63), such as a load cell, is provided at the bottom of the vehicle (60) to which the hook (70) is connected. The control unit (40) moves the vehicle (60) when the measured value of the weight sensor (63) is greater than or equal to a set value. The set value refers to the weight of a person, such as a young child. For example, the set value may refer to 15 kg.

[0072] Therefore, when a person is hanging from the hook member (80) attached to the hook (70), the vehicle (60) can move along a safe path (P2) to the emergency exit (5) on the upper surface of the ceiling (3).

[0073] According to the present invention, a smart fire response system (100) can be provided in which a control unit (40) analyzes data from a camera (10) and a detector (20) and illuminates a direction light (30) along a safe movement path, thereby guiding a safe movement path to a fire extinguisher (4) in the early stages of a fire, and guiding a safe movement path to an emergency exit (5) when evacuation is required.
