Intelligent safety accident prevention system and intelligent safety accident prevention method using the same

[0001] The present invention relates to an intelligent safety accident prevention system and an intelligent safety accident prevention method using the same. Specifically, it relates to an intelligent safety accident prevention system and an intelligent safety accident prevention method using the same that establishes physical standard procedures for worker safety rules during electrical equipment work in high-voltage and low-voltage sections through a panel unit and an image sensor unit, and connects to a control unit of a central management server via a wired or wireless internet network to systematically ensure the safety of workers.

[0002] Public institutions and general workplaces conduct safety training prior to electrical equipment work to ensure the safety of workers during high-voltage and low-voltage electrical equipment operations. These training methods vary, including work rule pledges and audiovisual education. Generally, safety rules prior to electrical equipment work require workers to wear safety equipment (safety helmets, safety vests, safety gloves, and safety shoes) to prevent serious industrial accidents such as electric shock and entrapment when working on live electrical equipment.

[0003] Due to the nature of electrical equipment, live-line accidents are often fatal to the human body, and while lives are fortunately saved, it is not uncommon for individuals to suffer lifelong disabilities. Although safety training is being strengthened and workers are strictly enforcing the use of safety equipment to prevent this, live-line electric shock accidents, which are serious industrial accidents, continue to occur frequently.

[0004] Among the types of electrical equipment accidents, electric shock accidents caused by worker negligence frequently occur. Furthermore, electric shock accidents are occurring when workers open dangerous equipment due to a misunderstanding caused by the lack of locking devices on the electrical equipment. To prevent such accidents, live line alarm devices are installed inside the electrical equipment to generate a live line alarm, thereby warning workers of danger when opening the electrical equipment.

[0005] While such conventional safety training and live-line warning devices instill safety awareness in workers and generate audiovisual alerts, they cannot prevent serious industrial accidents, such as live-line electric shocks, as they rely on worker accidents. Therefore, there is a need for a system capable of systematically managing worker safety.

[0006] The present invention has been devised to address the requirements described above, and aims to provide an intelligent safety accident prevention system and an intelligent safety accident prevention method using the same, which establish physical standard procedures for worker safety rules during electrical equipment work in high-voltage and low-voltage sections through a panel unit and an image sensor unit, and connect to a control unit of a central management server via a wired or wireless internet network to systematically ensure worker safety.

[0007] An intelligent safety accident prevention system according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a panel unit having an image capturing module that captures an image of a worker before work approval; and a control unit that receives the image captured by the image capturing module from the panel unit, analyzes the image to determine whether the worker has worn safety equipment in accordance with a predetermined standard, and approves the work if the worker has worn safety equipment in accordance with the predetermined standard.

[0008] In addition, it is preferable to include an image sensor unit installed inside the device that is the subject of the above operation, which acquires images of the internal state of the device and the working situation of the operator.

[0012] In addition, it is preferable that the panel unit, the image sensor unit, and the control unit are spaced apart from each other and connected by a communication network.

[0013] In addition, it is preferable that the image acquisition unit of the image sensor unit starts operation when the door of the device is opened.

[0014] In addition, the device status information includes whether the door of the device is open or closed and whether there is a fire risk of the device, and the control unit checks whether power is supplied to the device and can remotely control the opening or closing of the door of the device, and when a fire risk of the device is detected, it is preferable to display the fire risk warning signal on the screen display module and transmit the door open signal to the panel unit.

[0015] In addition, the control unit includes a determination module that determines whether the worker has worn safety equipment in accordance with a predetermined standard, and the determination module is learned by a predetermined deep learning, and it is preferable that the safety equipment includes a safety helmet, safety vest, safety gloves, or safety shoes.

[0016] In addition, it is desirable that the panel part be operable to spray the extinguishing liquid through the extinguishing liquid discharge part.

[0017]

[0018] Meanwhile, an intelligent safety accident prevention system according to another aspect of the present invention preferably comprises: a step of capturing an image of a worker by an image capturing module provided in a panel unit before approving work on a work target device; a step of receiving the image captured by the image capturing module from the panel unit and analyzing the image through a predetermined discrimination module learned by deep learning to determine whether the worker has worn safety equipment in accordance with a predetermined standard; and a step of approving work on the work target device by the control unit when it is determined that the worker has worn the safety equipment in accordance with a predetermined standard.

[0019] Here, it is preferable to include a step of acquiring an image of the internal state of the device and the working situation of the operator by means of an image sensor unit installed inside the device that is the subject of the above operation.

[0020] Here, the step of acquiring an image by the image sensor unit preferably includes an image acquisition unit that photographs the interior of the device and the operator when the door is opened, and a thermal image acquisition unit that acquires a thermal image of the interior of the device.

[0021] Here, it is preferable that the panel unit and the control unit are located at a remote location and connected by a communication network, and that the step of capturing an image of the worker and the step of the control unit approving the operation on the target device are performed at a remote location.

[0022] Here, the control unit can check whether power is supplied to the device and remotely control the opening and closing of the device's door, and it is preferable to transmit a warning signal regarding the fire risk or an open signal of the door to the panel unit when a fire risk is detected in the device.

[0023] The intelligent safety accident prevention system and the intelligent safety accident prevention method using the same according to the present invention utilize a panel unit and an image sensor unit to determine whether a worker is wearing safety equipment when working on electrical facilities, and if it meets predetermined standards, the control unit approves the work, thereby providing the effect of effectively preventing safety accidents of workers.

[0024] Furthermore, when accessing and working on the target equipment after work approval, images of the equipment's interior and the operator's working status can be acquired for continuous observation. Since the interior of the equipment is managed through the acquisition of thermal images, this provides the effect of effectively preventing live-line accidents and fires.

[0059]

[0060] Hereinafter, the operation of the intelligent safety accident prevention system (1000) of the present invention according to the above configuration will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7.

[0061]

[0062] FIG. 3 schematically illustrates the concept of an intelligent safety accident prevention system (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The screen display module (130) of the panel unit (100) may display the power status of the work target device (10) (e.g., a power distribution box), the device number of the work target device (10), the door status of the work target device (10) (whether the door is open or closed), the video recording status during work of the work target device (10), a fire event of the work target device (10), the activation of the log window, and the current time (synchronized with the control unit (300) and the video sensor unit (200)).

[0063] The above power status may indicate whether power is on or off, and may be expressed in a manner such as power risk and off safety. The device number of the above work target device (10) may be registered and modified in the panel unit (100) or the control unit (300). The door status of the above work target device (10) may be indicated as open or closed or guided by voice, and such status may be displayed or guided not only in the panel unit (100) but also in the control unit (300). The door of the above work target device (10) may be opened manually, and a password may be set for opening the door. In preparation for emergency situations, the door may be made capable of being forcibly opened.

[0064] The image acquisition unit (210) of the above image sensor unit (200) can record video of the work target device (10) and the worker when the door of the above work target device (10) is opened. The panel unit (100) can indicate that recording is in progress, for example, by activating an icon. When the above fire event occurs, a visual or voice guidance may be output to the panel unit (100). The time recording of the activated log window can be linked with the control unit (300).

[0065] The image capturing module (120) of the panel unit (100) captures the appearance of a worker wearing safety equipment, and the information captured by the image capturing module (120) is transmitted to the control unit (300), and work approval is granted under predetermined conditions. The panel unit (100), the image sensor unit (200), and the control unit (300) may be connected to each other using a wireless communication network or a TCP / IP LAN. The communication network may include the Internet or a mobile communication network. Additionally, the panel unit (100), the image sensor unit (200), and the control unit (300) are implemented to transmit and receive connection maintenance signals to and from each other.

[0066]

[0067] FIG. 4 illustrates the process of the control unit (300) approving a work based on an image of a worker transmitted from the panel unit (100). FIG. 4 shows that when an image of a worker obtained from the panel unit (100) is transmitted to the control unit (300), the judgment module (330) of the control unit (300) can determine whether the worker satisfies a predetermined standard regarding the wearing of clothing or safety equipment through image analysis using AI, such as AI AUTO image scanning. If the image of the worker meets the predetermined standard, the control unit (300) can transmit a work approval signal to the panel unit (100).

[0068] Of course, the manager can manually transmit a signal of work approval or rejection to the panel unit (100). Specifically, the worker initiates the work registration procedure by clicking the [Start Work Registration / Approval Procedure] button in the device menu of the panel unit (100), and after selecting the [Shoot] button, captures an image of the worker wearing safety equipment (safety helmet, safety vest, safety gloves, safety shoes, etc.). After confirming the captured image in the panel unit (100), the [Request Approval] button is selected, and the control unit (300) proceeds with a procedure to automatically scan the transmitted image using AI to check whether the work is approved. If the work is approved, a door open signal is transmitted to the panel unit (100) along with the work signal, allowing the worker to open the door and perform the work. In this state, the screen display module (130) may display "Door Open." The door open signal can be transmitted automatically by the control unit (300) or manually by the manager. If the worker's safety equipment is not worn according to the standards, the video recording module (120) may be instructed to attempt a re-recording, and the above work approval process may be performed again after the re-recording.

[0069]

[0070] FIG. 5 illustrates the process of checking the status of a work target device (10). As shown in FIG. 5, the intelligent safety accident prevention system (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention displays whether the power is on (power on / off) and the door opening / closing status (open / closed) of the work target device (10) on the panel unit (100). The status information of the work target device (10) is transmitted to the control unit (300), and a manager can identify the status information of the work target device (10) at the control unit (300). Additionally, the opening of the door of the work target device (10) through the panel unit (100) can be controlled by a worker through the panel unit (100) or by a manager assigned to the control unit (300). As illustrated in FIG. 5, regarding the door open status indication of the work target device (10), the embodiment of the present invention may be performed by a procedure of checking the power status of the work target device (10), checking the device number of the work target device (10), and indicating the door status of the work target device (10).

[0071]

[0072] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the recording process when a work is performed by a worker after the work on the target device (10) is approved. First, when the work is approved and the door is opened, the door open state is displayed on the panel unit (100), and the video recording start state by the image acquisition unit (210) of the image sensor unit (200) is displayed. The door open state information and the recording start signal by the image acquisition unit (210) are transmitted to the control unit (300). During the door open state, the recording by the image acquisition unit (210) continues, and when the door is closed, the video recording stops, the panel unit (100) displays that the video recording has stopped, and a video recording stop signal is transmitted to the control unit (300).

[0073] As described above, the control unit (300) may display the closed or open state of the door, and the recording state and recording stop state by the image acquisition unit (210) in a pop-up form. The start and stop of recording by the image acquisition unit (210) are implemented automatically, but may be configured to allow manual operation by an operator.

[0074] According to the present embodiment, the image acquisition unit (210) may be set to perform automatic recording for a predetermined time, e.g., 10 seconds, when the door is closed, and may be implemented to have a recording speed of 10 FPS (frames per second) or higher, a basic period of 30 days, and a sequential automatic deletion function. For example, it may be implemented to automatically delete the initial recordings when 80% of the storage capacity of the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is used. However, the automatic recording time after the door is closed, the recording speed, and the basic period of 30 days may be appropriately adjusted according to the working environment.

[0075] Additionally, when it is detected that the worker is not wearing safety equipment or is wearing it improperly while the worker is performing work, the control unit (300) may generate a warning signal and transmit it to the panel unit (100), and the panel unit (100) may generate a visual or auditory warning of improper wearing of safety equipment. Additionally, if no movement is detected from the worker for a certain period of time, the control unit (300) may generate a visual or auditory worker status check alarm to help the manager check the worker's status, or transmit the worker status check alarm to the mobile device of the relevant supervisor.

[0076]

[0077] FIG. 7 illustrates the fire monitoring and fire suppression process by an intelligent safety accident prevention system (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, a thermal image acquisition unit (220) provided inside the work target device (10) transmits temperature information to a control unit (300) at all times, and the control module (320) generates a fire event signal, a video recording start signal, a door opening signal, and a fire extinguishing liquid discharge signal when the temperature of the thermal image monitoring area of ​​a predetermined work target device (10) deviates from a set range.

[0078] The above thermal imaging monitoring zone and temperature can be set and adjusted differently for each work environment. The fire event signal and door opening signal can be transmitted to the panel unit (100) and displayed visually or audibly so that they can be recognized externally, and the panel unit (100) can open the door of the work target device (10) upon receiving the door opening signal. The video recording start signal is transmitted to the image acquisition unit (210), and the image acquisition unit (210) can start recording.

[0079] The control unit (300) can receive feedback from the panel unit (100) and the image acquisition unit (210) regarding whether the door is opened and whether recording by the image acquisition unit (210) has started after transmitting the fire event signal, video recording start signal, and door opening signal. According to the present embodiment, the automatic fire extinguishing liquid discharge signal of the control unit (300) is transmitted to the panel unit (100), and the operator can operate the panel unit (100) that received the fire extinguishing liquid discharge signal to spray the fire extinguishing liquid through the fire extinguishing liquid discharge unit.

[0080] The control unit (300) can remotely suppress a fire by transmitting the fire extinguishing liquid discharge signal to the fire extinguishing liquid discharge unit and directly discharging the fire extinguishing liquid. When the temperature of the thermal imaging detection zone reaches a predetermined fire hazard temperature and a fire event signal is generated by the control unit (300), the fire extinguishing liquid can be automatically discharged by the fire extinguishing liquid discharge unit and the door can be automatically opened. Additionally, the status of the fire extinguishing liquid spraying or door opening following the occurrence of the fire event signal can be transmitted to the supervisor's mobile device, etc. A series of such fire event signals, video recording start signals, door opening signals, fire extinguishing liquid discharge signals, etc. are recorded as event log information in the storage module (310).

[0081] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the panel unit (100) may be implemented to incorporate a plurality of DI / DO ports and perform a self-diagnosis on whether the interconnected input / output signals of the DI / DO ports are operating normally, and to transmit an equipment malfunction signal to the control unit (300) when an abnormality occurs.
