Fire detection device including portable emergency light and stand
[0001] The present invention relates to a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand, and more particularly, to a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand, wherein a portable emergency light is attached or detached to a stand that determines whether a fire has occurred based on gas concentration and temperature and outputs fire occurrence information, and when the portable emergency light receives fire occurrence information, fire alarm information is output to accurately and early notify of the occurrence of a fire.
[0002]
[0003] Emergency lighting is installed inside buildings or structures to illuminate darkened interiors so that people can quickly escape or evacuate in the event of an emergency such as a fire or earthquake, or in the event of a power outage.
[0004] A conventional emergency light includes a light body having a battery compartment that is installed inside and can be opened to the side, a light collecting lens installed at the front of the light body, a protective cap detachably attached to the front of the light body to protect the light collecting lens, a circuit board installed inside the light body and to which a lamp is connected, a connection terminal connected to the circuit board and to which a battery is selectively connected and short-circuited, an elastic member installed at the battery compartment that elastically presses the battery toward the connection terminal, and a stand on which the light body is detachably mounted.

[0039] FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a drawing for explaining a process in which a stand of a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand according to an embodiment of the present invention performs communication with a sensor device.
[0040] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “fire detection device”) may include a stand (100) and a portable emergency light (200).
[0041] The stand (100) is installed and fixed to one side of a wall or structure of a building, and determines whether a fire has occurred in the area where it is installed, and if it is determined that a fire has occurred, fire occurrence information can be generated and output to a portable emergency light (200).
[0042] Specifically, the stand (100) senses at least one of gas concentration and temperature, and can determine whether a fire has occurred based on the sensing result of sensing at least one of the gas concentration and the temperature.
[0043] More specifically, when the stand (100) senses the gas concentration in the installed area, if the sensed gas concentration exceeds the reference gas concentration, it can be determined that a fire has occurred in the installed area, and when the stand (100) senses the temperature in the installed area, if the sensed temperature exceeds the reference temperature, it can be determined that a fire has occurred in the installed area.
[0044] To this end, the stand (100) may include a sensing unit (110) having a gas sensor module for sensing gas concentration and a temperature sensor module for sensing temperature.
[0045] Thereafter, if the stand (100) determines that a fire has occurred, it can generate fire occurrence information by including fire occurrence location information indicating the location where the fire occurred in the fire occurrence information, and output the generated fire occurrence information to a portable emergency light (200).
[0046] Here, the location indicated by the fire occurrence location information generated by the stand (100) may be the location where the stand (100) is fixedly installed.
[0047] Meanwhile, when a fire occurrence signal is received from a sensor device (S) located at a distance from the stand (100), the stand determines that a fire has occurred, and when it determines that a fire has occurred, the stand can generate the fire occurrence information and output it to the portable emergency light (200).
[0048] Specifically, the sensor device (S) is installed spaced apart from the stand (100), senses at least one of gas concentration and temperature, and can determine whether a fire has occurred based on the sensing result of sensing at least one of the gas concentration and the temperature.
[0049] More specifically, when the sensor device (S) senses a gas concentration in an installed area, if the sensed gas concentration exceeds a reference gas concentration, it can be determined that a fire has occurred in the installed area, and when the sensor device (S) senses a temperature in the installed area, if the sensed temperature exceeds a reference temperature, it can be determined that a fire has occurred in the installed area.
[0050] Afterwards, if the sensor device (S) determines that a fire has occurred, it can transmit a fire occurrence signal to the stand (100) to notify of the fire occurrence.
[0051] At this time, the sensor device (S) can include fire occurrence location information indicating the location where the fire occurred in the fire occurrence signal and transmit the fire occurrence signal to the stand (100).
[0052] Here, the location indicated by the fire occurrence location information generated by the sensor device (S) may be the location where the sensor device (S) is fixedly installed.
[0053] To this end, the sensor device (S) may include a gas sensor module, a temperature sensor module, a communication module for transmitting a signal, and a processor for controlling the communication module to determine whether a fire has occurred and transmit a signal based on the sensing result, and for controlling the gas sensor module and the temperature sensor module for sensing.
[0054] As described above, when a fire occurrence signal is received from the sensor device (S), the stand (100) determines that a fire has occurred at the location where the sensor device (S) is fixedly installed, and when it is determined that a fire has occurred at the location where the sensor device (S) is fixedly installed, it can generate fire occurrence information and output it to the portable emergency light (200).
[0055] At this time, if the stand (100) determines that a fire has occurred at a location where the sensor device (S) is fixedly installed, it generates fire occurrence information by including the fire occurrence location information indicating the location where the sensor device (S) is fixedly installed and the location where the fire occurred in the fire occurrence information, and outputs the generated fire occurrence information to a portable emergency light (200).
[0056] To this end, the stand (100) may include a communication unit (120) that receives signals and information and outputs or transmits information (fire occurrence information).
[0057] At this time, the stand (100) may include a first connection terminal (130) that outputs information output from the communication unit (120) to the outside.
[0058] The first connection terminal (130) is electrically and communicatively connected to the second connection terminal (210) of the portable emergency light (200) so that information can be output to the second connection terminal.
[0059] This first connection terminal (130) can output power as well as information.
[0060] Additionally, the stand (100) may include a processor (140) that determines whether a fire has occurred and controls a communication unit (120) and other components.
[0061] Meanwhile, the stand (100) is formed with a structure in which a portable emergency light (200) can be detached, and may include a housing (150) that accommodates components such as a sensing unit (110), a communication unit (120), a first connection terminal (130), a processor (140), etc.
[0062]
[0063] FIG. 3 is a drawing for explaining a process in which a portable emergency light of a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand according to an embodiment of the present invention is removed from a stand, FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining a process in which a fire escape mask accommodated in a portable emergency light of a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand according to an embodiment of the present invention is taken out, and FIG. 5 is a drawing for explaining a process in which a portable emergency light of a fire detection device including a portable emergency light and a stand according to an embodiment of the present invention outputs high temperature notification information.
[0064] Referring further to FIGS. 3 to 5, the portable emergency light (200) can be mounted on the stand (100) or removed from the stand (100) to which it was mounted.
[0065] In addition, the portable emergency light (200) can receive the fire occurrence information output from the stand (100), and when the fire occurrence information is input, can output fire alarm information notifying the occurrence of a fire.
[0066] Here, the fire alarm information may be information output through sound or light.
[0067] That is, when fire occurrence information is input from the stand (100), the portable emergency light (200) can output sound or light indicating the occurrence of a fire as fire alarm information.
[0068] Meanwhile, the portable emergency light (200) can receive the fire occurrence information output from the stand (100) and can also receive the fire occurrence information transmitted from the communication unit (120) of the stand (100).
[0069] To this end, the portable emergency light (200) may include a second connection terminal (210) that is electrically and communicatively connected to the first connection terminal (130) of the stand (100) when mounted on the stand (100).
[0070] Additionally, the portable emergency light (200) may include a communication unit (220) that communicates with the communication unit (120) of the stand (100).
[0071] Meanwhile, the portable emergency light (200) includes a button (not shown) that is pressed by an evacuee, and when the button is pressed, fire alarm information can be output.
[0072] These portable emergency lights (200) can output evacuation route guidance information that guides an evacuation route based on the fire occurrence location information included in the fire occurrence information when fire occurrence information is input from the stand (100).
[0073] To this end, the portable emergency light (200) can confirm the location of the fire occurrence indicated by the fire occurrence information from the fire occurrence information included in the input fire occurrence information, set an evacuation route in a direction away from the location of the fire occurrence, and output evacuation route guidance information that allows evacuees to move along the set evacuation route.
[0074] Here, the evacuation route guidance information may be information output through sound or light.
[0075] For example, evacuation route guidance information may be a sound that indicates the direction to move along the evacuation route.
[0076] Meanwhile, the portable emergency light (200) can determine whether to be removed from the stand (100) based on at least one of connection information indicating whether there is an electrical connection with the stand (100) and stand separation distance information indicating the distance from the stand (100).
[0077] Specifically, when the portable emergency light (200) determines whether to be removed from the stand (100) based on the connection status information, it generates connection status information on whether the second connection terminal (210) is electrically connected to the first connection terminal (130), and if the second connection terminal (210) is not electrically connected to the first connection terminal (130), it can be determined that it has been removed from the stand (100).
[0078] In addition, when determining whether the portable emergency light (200) has been removed from the stand (100) based on the stand separation distance information, the distance from the position of the portable emergency light (200) to the position of the stand (100) is generated as stand separation distance information, and when the distance indicated by the stand separation distance information exceeds the reference distance, it can be determined that the portable emergency light (200) has been removed from the stand (100).
[0079] To this end, the portable emergency light (200) can be generated as stand separation distance information by pre-storing the position of the installed stand (100) and using the sensed position of the portable emergency light (200) and the pre-stored position of the stand (100).
[0080] When the portable emergency light (200) is determined to have been removed from the stand (100) after fire occurrence information is input, the portable emergency light (200) periodically calculates the change in distance between the location of the fire occurrence location information included in the fire occurrence information and the current location of the portable emergency light (200), and when the change in distance decreases (when the distance from the location of the fire occurrence location information to the current location of the portable emergency light (200) decreases), the portable emergency light (200) can output fire proximity information notifying that the location of the fire has been approached.
[0081] Meanwhile, the portable emergency light (200) can output fire separation information indicating that the distance from the location where the fire occurred is increasing when the above-described distance change increases (when the distance from the location of the fire occurrence location information to the current location of the portable emergency light (200) increases).
[0082] Fire proximity information and fire separation information can be output by one or more of sound, light, and vibration.
[0083] A portable emergency light (200) can output fire proximity information and fire separation information at a predetermined cycle.
[0084] Specifically, the portable emergency light (200) can output fire proximity information in a first cycle and fire separation information in a second cycle.
[0085] At this time, the first cycle may be shorter than the second cycle.
[0086] For example, when a portable emergency light (200) outputs fire proximity information and fire separation information as vibrations, it can output fire proximity information as vibrations in a first cycle and output fire separation information as vibrations in a second cycle.
[0087] In addition, when the portable emergency light (200) outputs fire proximity information and fire separation information as sound, it can output fire proximity information as sound in the first cycle and output fire separation information as sound in the second cycle.
[0088] When the portable emergency light (200) outputs fire proximity information and fire separation information as vibrations, it can output fire proximity information as lighting (light) in the first cycle and fire separation information as lighting (light) in the second cycle.
[0089] Such portable emergency lighting (200) may include a communication unit (220) that receives signals and information and outputs or transmits information.
[0090] Additionally, the portable emergency light (200) may include a sensing unit (230) having a position sensing module that senses the position of the portable emergency light (200).
[0091] In addition, the portable emergency light (200) may include a lighting unit (240) for outputting various information as light and irradiating light to increase the surrounding illuminance, an audio unit (250) for outputting various information as sound, and a vibration unit (260) for outputting various information as vibration (haptic).
[0092] Here, the lighting unit (240) can be implemented as an LED module, the sound unit (250) can be implemented as a speaker, and the vibration unit (260) can be implemented as a vibration module.
[0093] Meanwhile, if the portable emergency light (200) is determined to have been removed from the stand (100) after fire occurrence information is input, the light can measure the irradiation area temperature (R'), which is the temperature of the light irradiation area (R) where light is irradiated, and if the irradiation area temperature (R') exceeds the reference temperature, high temperature notification information can be output to notify of danger due to high temperature.
[0094] High temperature alert information may be output by one or more of sound, light, and vibration.
[0095] For example, when an evacuee irradiates light on a fire door while holding a portable emergency light (200), the temperature (R') of the irradiated area (R) of the fire door irradiated with light is measured, and when the temperature (R') of the irradiated area exceeds the reference temperature, high temperature notification information indicating danger due to high temperature can be output.
[0096] Through this, the portable emergency light (200) can prevent accidents in which evacuees are burned by coming into contact with high-temperature objects during fire evacuation.
[0097] To this end, the portable emergency light (200) may include a processor (270) that performs various operations and judgments, such as determining whether to remove, and controls other components.
[0098] Meanwhile, the portable emergency light (200) may include a housing (280) that accommodates the components of the portable emergency light (200) described above inside.
[0099] A receiving space (H) is formed inside the housing (280), and a fire escape mask (M) can be received in this receiving space.
[0100] Through this, the evacuee can remove the portable emergency light (200) mounted on the stand (100) from the stand (100) and take out and wear the fire escape mask (M) housed inside the portable emergency light (200).
[0101] Such fire escape mask (M) may be a wet mask capable of filtering out harmful gases caused by fire.
[0102]

In addition, the processor (140) may be implemented in the form of a system on chip (SoC) that includes at least one of a graphics processing unit, RAM, and ROM.
[0113] The storage unit (160) can store programs (one or more instructions) for processing and controlling the processor (140). The programs stored in the storage unit (160) can be divided into multiple modules according to function.
[0114] The communication unit (120) can communicate with the sensor device (S) and the portable emergency light (200). In particular, the communication unit (120) can include various communication chips such as a Wi-Fi chip, a Bluetooth chip, a wireless communication chip, an NFC chip, a low-power Bluetooth chip (BLE chip), etc. At this time, the Wi-Fi chip, the Bluetooth chip, and the NFC chip perform communication in the LAN method, the Wi-Fi method, the Bluetooth method, and the NFC method, respectively. When using a Wi-Fi chip or a Bluetooth chip, various connection information such as an SSID and a session key are first transmitted and received, and then communication is established using this, and then various information can be transmitted and received. The wireless communication chip refers to a chip that performs communication according to various communication standards such as IEEE, Zigbee, 3G (1st Generation), 3GPP (1st Generation Partnership Project), LTE (Long Term Evolution), 5G (1st Generation), etc.

[0127] Hereinafter, an IoT fire alarm system in which a plurality of portable emergency lights are interconnected according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0128] FIG. 7 is a connection diagram of an IoT fire alarm system in which a plurality of portable emergency lights are interconnected with each other according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0129] Referring further to FIG. 7, an IoT fire alarm system in which a plurality of portable emergency lights are interconnected according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of fire detection devices and a manager device (300).
[0130] As described above, each of the plurality of fire detection devices may include a stand (100) and a portable emergency light (200).
[0131] In this IoT fire alarm system in which a plurality of portable emergency lights are interconnected according to an embodiment of the present invention, the portable emergency lights (200) communicate with the management device (300) and the portable emergency lights (200) communicate with each other, thereby enabling fire detection through IoT.
[0132] Specifically, when fire occurrence information is input from the stand (100), the portable emergency light (200) can transmit fire occurrence information to the management device (300).
[0133] Through this, the manager device (300) can display on the screen that a fire has occurred and display on the screen the location where the fire has occurred, so that the manager can quickly recognize the occurrence of a fire and enable the manager to quickly respond to the occurrence of a fire.
[0134] At this time, the portable emergency light (200) can transmit fire occurrence information to the management device (300) via a server (not shown). That is, when fire occurrence information is input from the stand (100), the portable emergency light (200) transmits the fire occurrence information to the server, and the management device (300) can receive the fire occurrence information from the server.
[0135] At this time, when the server receives fire occurrence information from the portable emergency light (200), it can transmit the fire occurrence information to the manager device (300) that is matched in advance to the portable emergency light (200) that transmitted the fire occurrence information.
[0136] Meanwhile, when fire occurrence information is input, the portable emergency light (200) can transmit the fire occurrence information to another portable emergency light (200).
[0137] Through this, even if a fire breaks out in one place, a portable emergency light (200) located in the area where the fire broke out can transmit fire occurrence information to another portable emergency light (200) located in a location away from the area where the fire broke out, thereby notifying a location away from the area where the fire broke out of the fire.
[0138] Meanwhile, if the portable emergency light (200) is determined to have been removed from the stand (100) after the fire occurrence information is input, the portable emergency light (200) can transmit removal notification information notifying that the portable emergency light (200) has been removed from the stand to the management device (300). In addition, if the portable emergency light (200) is determined to have been removed from the stand (100) after the fire occurrence information is input, the portable emergency light (200) can periodically generate location information of the portable emergency light (200) and transmit the location information to one or more of the management device (300) and other portable emergency lights (200).
[0139] Through this, the manager device (300) can provide the manager with the location of the evacuee in real time by displaying the location of the portable emergency light (200) in a removed state on the screen.
[0140] Here, the manager can be a building manager or a fire official.
[0141] More specifically, a fire official may mean one or more of an occupant, manager, or owner of a specific fire object (e.g., a building in which a fire detection device according to the present invention is installed).
[0142] In addition, the portable emergency light (200) transmits location information to other portable emergency lights (200) and receives location information from other portable emergency lights (200), thereby enabling the location of other portable emergency lights (200) that are being moved by evacuees in the vicinity to be identified.
[0143] Using this, when it is determined that the portable emergency light (200) has been removed from the stand after the fire occurrence information is input, density information for each unit area can be generated based on the location information of other portable emergency lights (200) received from other portable emergency lights (200), and an evacuation route can be set to pass through only unit areas with a density lower than the standard density.
[0144] Afterwards, the portable emergency light (200) can output evacuation route guidance information that guides the evacuation route.
[0145] Through this, the portable emergency light (200) can guide evacuees to an evacuation route while avoiding areas where evacuees are crowded, thereby enabling evacuees to evacuate safely.
[0146] FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a manager device included in an IoT fire alarm system in which a plurality of portable emergency lights are interconnected according to one embodiment of the present invention.
