It includes a power supply (8) that provides energy to the system. The system works on the following principle: 25 The system includes an angle adjustment module (4). This module allows the user to adjust the opening angle. It allows the system to define it. Angle adjustment module (4); a potentiometer, a in the form of a button combination or a digital interface (e.g., a menu system with a display) It is configurable. The angle information entered by the user acts as the brain of the system. 30 a permanent memory, preferably of the EEPROM type, on a microcontroller (2) It is saved in the field. This ensures that the angle information is preserved even if the system power is cut off. 7 A sensor (1) is included in the system to detect the emergency. This sensor (1) It is designed modularly and includes an earthquake sensor (e.g., a MEMS-based accelerometer). or it can be of different types, such as a fire sensor (for example, a temperature or gas sensor). Ideally, the system can trigger an artificial emergency via a test button located on it. It can generate a signal, allowing the system's functionality to be tested. 5 When the sensor (1) detects an emergency, it transmits the signal it generates to the microcontroller (2). The microcontroller (2) first checks whether the door (9) is locked. This process, The unlocking is performed via the unlocking mechanism (3) in the system. The mechanism (3) not only performs the mechanical opening operation; it also locks 10 It reports its status ("active" – locked, or "passive" – open) to the microcontroller (2). If the door (9) is locked, the microcontroller (2) triggers the unlocking mechanism (3) and the door It mechanically retracts the lock. If the door (9) is not locked, the microcontroller (2) locks It skips the opening step. 15 Then the system, according to the angle information stored in the microcontroller (2) memory, opens the gate (9) It calculates the angle at which the door needs to be opened. For example, when the rope (6) is pulled 60 cm, the door is approximately It is opened 60°. Based on this information, the motorized rope mechanism (5) is activated. This The mechanism is preferably designed to include a geared motor; thus, the low 20 High torque is obtained at speed and precise opening can be achieved. The mechanism is a rope (6) It applies force to the door by means of the rope (6) preferably steel wire mesh, durable and It is made of a non-stretchable material. The connection of the rope (6) to the door (9) is a rope connection. This is achieved with point (7). This connection point is directly connected to the door (9) by the pulling force. It enables the transmission of the rope (6) to the door (9) by pulling it by a specified amount. It opens at an angle determined by the user. During all these processes, the energy needs of the system are met by a power supply (8) The power supply (9) normally operates with mains electricity, but in case of emergencies If mains power is unavailable, the system continues to operate via the integrated battery. 30 This feature enhances the system's function in disaster scenarios where power outages are frequent. It is critically important for its sustainability. The system can provide both automatic emergency response and manual test mode. It is configured to be operated. For manual testing, the sensor (1) is located on it. When the test button is pressed, the system activates the entire trigger chain, mechanically and 35 8 It performs an electrical verification process. This test process takes place after installation or to verify the system is functioning correctly during periodic maintenance times It is used. In conclusion, this invention enables the doors (9) to open automatically in emergency situations, opening 5 the angle can be predetermined by the user, depending on whether it is locked or not. ensuring that appropriate action is taken and that the system remains operational in the event of power outages. It offers an integrated, modular and testable system. 15
