Solution Overview

Problem

Existing elevator defibrillator systems face challenges in ensuring safe and timely use of defibrillators, as they often require additional steps in emergency situations, can be difficult to operate correctly, and may not allow for rapid elevator movement to the ground.

Innovation Solution

The elevator defibrillator system synchronously controls the defibrillator with the elevator control panel, allowing the elevator to rapidly move to the ground, and includes features such as automatic notification to related institutions, guidance for users, and a defibrillator case designed as a footrest for convenient operation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the defibrillator storage case is installed in the inner surface of the elevator, then the defibrillator is accessible, but the internal space of the elevator is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccessibility of defibrillatorVSAvoidinternal space of elevator

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The defibrillator storage case is integrated into the elevator structure by nesting it within the ceiling space. The case is installed in the ceiling panel area, utilizing the nested space between the ceiling and the defibrillator storage compartment, thereby providing accessibility without reducing the main internal space of the elevator cabin.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Speed

If the elevator moves to the ground rapidly, then the response time is reduced, but safety control becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveelevator movement speedVSAvoidsafety control

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically notifying relevant institutions and preparing emergency protocols before the elevator reaches the ground. The synchronous control system pre-coordinates the elevator's rapid descent with emergency response preparations, ensuring safety control is maintained even during high-speed movement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The synchronous control system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring the elevator's position, speed, and operational status during rapid movement to the ground. This real-time feedback ensures safety control is maintained while enabling rapid response.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If the defibrillator is operated manually, then the user has control, but the operation accuracy is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser controlVSAvoidoperation accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The defibrillator is designed with self-service capabilities including automatic patient analysis, automated shock delivery decisions, and step-by-step verbal guidance. This allows the device to perform critical functions autonomously while maintaining simple manual operation for the user, thereby achieving both user control and high operation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual judgment and decision-making with automated electronic analysis and control. The defibrillator's microprocessor automatically analyzes cardiac rhythms and determines appropriate treatment, substituting human mechanical decision-making with precise electronic systems while keeping the interface simple for users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Ease of manufacture

If the defibrillator case is removed from the ceiling, then the installation is simpler, but the accessibility in emergency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinstallation simplicityVSAvoidemergency access time

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The defibrillator case is merged with the elevator ceiling structure, creating an integrated assembly that is installed as a single unit. This combination maintains simple installation procedures while ensuring the defibrillator is permanently positioned for optimal emergency accessibility within the elevator cabin.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

The present invention relates to an elevator defibrillator system in which a defibrillator, which is an automated external defibrillator, is installed inside an elevator, and a controller of the defibrillator is synchronously controlled with an elevator control panel. In addition, when the defibrillator is operated, the elevator control panel stops the driving function and floor stops and allows operation only to the first floor. Also, a CCTV camera is installed inside the elevator or inside a defibrillator storage case. Furthermore, when the defibrillator is operated, a control unit transmits a signal to a server of a defibrillator management institution, and the present invention has the remarkable effects of enabling safe use of the defibrillator, and increasing the probability of saving a life by rapidly reaching the ground by means of synchronous-control with the elevator. Moreover, when the defibrillator is operated, a related institution is automatically contacted and necessary measures are provided, thereby having a remarkable effect of saving a patient by facilitating accurate operation the defibrillator. Besides, a defibrillator case may be used as a footrest, or the like, and it is possible to open a cover with one hand and take out the defibrillator, and accordingly, the present invention has a remarkable effect of convenient operation.
