Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a firefighting and evacuation system that is capable of detecting the presence of fire and trapped individuals, identifying safe pathways and assessing fire hazard levels and accordingly developing the evacuation plans and strategies for enhancing safety measures.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Firefighting and evacuation assistance are crucial for ensuring safety and minimizing damage during fire emergencies. Rapid response and effective evacuation strategies save lives, reduce injuries, and prevent extensive property loss. Providing timely firefighting support helps contain fires quickly, limiting their spread and impact. Additionally, organized evacuation assistance ensures that people exit hazardous areas safely and efficiently, preventing chaos and panic. Overall, these measures are essential for protecting individuals, safeguarding property, and maintaining safety in emergency situations.

[0003] Traditional autonomous firefighting and evacuation assistance rely on static sensors, manual remote controls, and pre-programmed robotic arrangements. These include fire-resistant robots equipped with thermal imaging, smoke detection sensors, and basic navigation capabilities. Human operators oversee operations, guiding robots to locate fires and assist in evacuations. Such methods depend heavily on predefined protocols, limited adaptability, and manual intervention, often requiring significant human oversight for effective fire suppression and safe evacuation. Traditional autonomous firefighting and evacuation methods have notable drawbacks, including limited adaptability to dynamic and complex fire scenarios. They often rely on pre-programmed routines, making them less effective in unpredictable environments. Additionally, heavy dependence on human oversight reduces efficiency, and sensor limitations lead to missed hazards. These methods also struggle with navigation in cluttered or unfamiliar spaces, hindering timely and effective fire suppression and rescue efforts.

[0004] KR101725774B1 discloses a smart fire evacuation system, in which a location of a resident terminal located in a building where a fire occurs in the event of a fire is detected through a detection analysis unit connected to a fire detection terminal installed in a fire- An unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with lifesaving equipment approaches the current location of the resident and provides lifeline equipment to the user, thereby reducing fire damage.

[0005] US10796582B1 relates to emergency evacuation. An emergency can be detected at an emergency location. A type of the emergency can be determined. Prospective safe locations proximate to the emergency location can be identified. A safety rating of each prospective safe location can be determined based on the type of emergency. A number of at-risk individuals at the emergency location can be determined. A subset of drop-off locations of the prospective safe locations that have a safety rating that satisfies a safety threshold can be selected, the subset of drop-off locations satisfying a size limit required for the number of at-risk individuals. A set of autonomous vehicles required for the number of at-risk individuals can then be determined. The set of autonomous vehicles can be deployed to the emergency location.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems have been developed for firefighting and evacuation assistance, but these existing systems lack in deploying the protective barrier around evacuees for shielding the evacuees from heat and fire hazards during the evacuation process. Additionally, these existing devices also fail in projecting real-time visual guidance to individuals during evacuation for offering step-by-step instructions for safe exit procedures.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of deploying the protective barrier around evacuees for shielding the evacuees from heat and fire hazards during the evacuation process. Additionally, the developed system also needs to be capable of projecting real-time visual guidance to individuals during evacuation for offering step-by-step instructions for safe exit procedures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting.

[0019] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0020] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0021] The present invention relates to a firefighting and evacuation system that is capable of projecting real-time visual guidance to individuals during evacuation, thereby offering step-by-step instructions for safe exit procedures.

[0022] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a body of a firefighting and evacuation system is illustrated, comprising a plurality of mobile bodies 101, a plurality of AI (Artificial-intelligence) cameras 102, a microphone 103 on the mobile bodies 101, a cavity 105 carved within each body 101 housing cascading ladders 106 attached to motorized sliders 107 with pneumatic vertical plates 108, a platform 109 comprising horizontal sliding rails 110 and scissor arrangement 111, a compartment 112 in the bodies 101, a plurality of motorized rollers 113 wrapped with fire-resistant sheets 114, robotic gripper 115 provided on the body 101, a plurality of folding panels 116 mounted on the top periphery of the bodies 101, a holographic projection unit 104.

[0023] Referring to Figure 2, an isometric view of a flying unit associated with the system is illustrated, comprising a detachable autonomous flying unit 201, a portable fire extinguisher 202 housed within the flying unit 201, a motorized C-shaped clipper 203 provided with the flying unit 201, a pair of pneumatic inverted U-shaped clamps 204.

[0024] The system disclosed herein employs a plurality of mobile bodies 101 each equipped with a detachable autonomous flying unit 201. The mobile bodies 101 are attached to the multiple wheels for providing movement. The flying units 201 are linked to the bodies 101 via magnetic linkages to enable independent operation and facilitate real-time surveillance and assistance during emergency scenarios.

[0025] For activating the system, the user needs to press a push button which is arranged on the body 101 which in turn activates all the related components for performing the desired task. After pressing the button, a closed electrical circuit is formed and current starts to flow that powers an inbuilt microcontroller to allow all the linked components to perform their respective task upon actuation.

[0026] On both the flying unit 201 and the mobile bodies 101, a plurality of AI (Artificial-intelligence) cameras 102 is mounted. The cameras 102 working collaboratively to analyze fire-related emergencies in real-time, detecting trapped individuals, identifying safe pathways and assessing fire hazard levels. The camera 102 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images in vicinity of the flying unit 201 and the mobile bodies 101 and the captured images are stored within a memory of the camera 102 in form of an optical data. The camera 102 also comprises of the processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the received data and analyze fire-related emergencies in real-time, detecting trapped individuals, identifying safe pathways and assessing fire hazard levels.

[0027] A smoke sensor is attached with a microphone 103 on the mobile bodies 101. Upon detection of fire, the microcontroller linked with the smoke sensor automatically detaches the flying unit 201 from the bodies 101 and triggers an analysis process to develop evacuation plans and strategies. The smoke sensor designed for fire detection typically operates based on optical (photoelectric) principles. In an optical smoke sensor, a light source such as an LED and a photodetector are housed within a chamber. When smoke particles enter the chamber, they scatter the emitted light, causing some of the light to reach the photodetector even when the path is normally clear. This increase in scattered light results in a higher electrical signal, which the sensor's circuitry interprets as the presence of smoke.

[0028] On the flying unit 201, a pair of pneumatic inverted U-shaped clamps 204 is mounted via motorized ball and socket joints. The clamps 204 configured to lift water pipes or water-filled buckets for firefighting purposes. The clamp 204 works by using an electric motor connected to a sliding jaw. The pneumatic unit pushes or pulls the sliding jaw towards or away from the fixed jaw depending on the direction of rotation. The pneumatic unit for extension and retraction operates using compressed air to drive a piston inside a cylinder. When air is supplied to one side of the piston, it creates pressure that pushes the piston rod outward, causing extension. To retract, air is supplied to the opposite side while the initial chamber is vented, pulling the piston rod back. This movement allows the clamp 204 to lift water pipes or water-filled buckets for firefighting purposes.

[0029] A portable fire extinguisher 202 is housed within the flying unit 201. The fire extinguisher 202 is operable by a motorized C-shaped clipper 203 provided with the flying units 201 and monitored by a weight sensor to detect when replacement is needed. The motorized C-shaped clipper 203 within the flying unit 201 is designed to securely hold and release the portable fire extinguisher 202. When activated, the motor drives a gear that moves the C-shaped clipper 203 arms inward or outward, allowing it to grip or release the extinguisher 202 securely. The motorized C-shaped clipper 203 assists in the operation of the fire extinguisher 202 in the time of requirement.

[0030] The weight sensor, integrated into the flying unit 201 functions by continuously monitoring the mass of the portable fire extinguisher 202 housed within the C-shaped clipper 203. Typically, this sensor employs load cell, where strain gauges are attached to a deformable element that flexes under weight. When the extinguisher 202 is in place, the load cell detects a specific resistance corresponding to the known weight. As the extinguisher 202 is used and the weight decreases, the strain gauges measure the reduction in force exerted on them, converting this mechanical deformation into an electrical signal. The sensor's circuitry processes these signals to determine whether the weight remains within an acceptable range or has fallen below a preset threshold, indicating that the extinguisher 202 needs replacement.

[0031] A cavity 105 carved within each body 101, housing cascading ladders 106 attached to motorized sliders 107 with pneumatic vertical plates 108 serving as barriers. The ladders 106 extend to form a bridge between the bodies 101 for safe evacuation and crossing between buildings during a fire emergency. The sliders 107 consist of a sliding rail and a motorized slidable member connected to the sliding rail. The motorized slidable member is attached to the body 101 and sliding rail on both sides to make the ladders 106 slide. The slidable member is attached to a motor which provides movement to the member in a bi-directional manner. The pneumatic vertical plates 108 are attached to the cascading ladders 106 are capable of adjusting in height to accommodate various building elevations and ensure a stable and safe crossing for evacuees. The pneumatic vertical plates 108 work by utilizing the pneumatic unit as explained above.

[0032] Within a compartment 112 in the bodies 101, a platform 109 comprising horizontal sliding rails 110 and scissor arrangement 111 is mounted. The microcontroller is configured to actuate the sliding rails 110 and scissor arrangement 111 to extend and retract the platform 109, forming a stable platform 109 for the safe transfer or evacuation of individuals. The scissor arrangement 111 within the platform 109 operates through a series of interconnected arms configured in a crisscross pattern, which are pivotally linked at central joints. When the microcontroller receives an extension command, electric motors drive the movement of the scissor arms, causing them to pivot thereby pushing the connected platform 109 surfaces to extend the platform 109.

[0033] For projecting real-time visual guidance to individuals during evacuation, a holographic projection unit 104 is mounted on the mobile bodies 101 and flying units 201. This offers step-by-step instructions for safe exit procedures. The holographic projection unit 104 creates three-dimensional image that appear to float in space by utilizing principles of light diffraction and interference which begins with a coherent light source splits into two beams which illuminates the recording medium. When these beams intersect, they create an interference pattern that encodes the light's amplitude and phase information on a medium like holographic film. To visualize the hologram, this recorded pattern is illuminated again with coherent light, recreating a light field that mimics the original object’s light field, allowing viewers to see a 3D image from various angles thereby guiding individuals during evacuation.

[0034] A plurality of motorized rollers 113 is wrapped with fire-resistant sheets 114 that are installed on the bottom periphery of the bodies 101. The sheets 114 are deployed by robotic gripper 115 that is provided on the body 101 to form a protective barrier around evacuees, shielding the evacuees from heat and fire hazards during transport. The motorized roller 113 integrates an electric motor within the cylindrical body to facilitate automated fire-resistant sheets 114 handling. When powered, the motor generates rotational force, which drives the roller 113. They operate using direct current (DC) motor and controlled individually for precise movement and speed regulation for unwrapping the sheets 114 for deploying to form a protective barrier around evacuees. Hence, shielding the evacuees from heat and fire hazards during transport.

[0035] The fire-resistant sheets 114, deployed by the mobile body 101 are equipped with temperature sensors that trigger automatic extension when excessive heat is detected in the surrounding environment. The temperature sensor functions based on the core sensing method, which typically involves a thermally responsive element such as a thermistor. When the surrounding environment's temperature rises beyond a predefined threshold, the sensor's temperature-sensitive material experiences a change in the electrical properties, such as a variation in resistance. In the thermistor, an increase in temperature causes a decrease or increase in resistance depending on whether it is NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) or PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient). This change alters the electrical signal sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller monitors these signals continuously and once it detects that the temperature exceeds the set limit, it triggers the extension of the fire-resistant sheet for mitigating the fire hazard.

[0036] A plurality of folding panels 116 is mounted on the top periphery of the bodies 101. The panels 116 extend outward to form a sliding unit for the safe evacuation of individuals, from middle floors of a building, with real-time holographic guidance provided to instruct evacuees on safe usage. The folding panels 116 are designed to deploy and retract dynamically to facilitate safe evacuation. Internally, these panels 116 are connected via a series of hinges and powered by motor that enable precise folding and unfolding movements. The folding panels 116 on the top of the mobile body 101 are capable of independently extending to different lengths depending on the building's floor structure and individual evacuation requirements. A database is connected to the microcontroller for storing and updating critical emergency data, including initial firefighting strategies, evacuation procedures and detailed maps of the affected area and the data is continuously updated to ensure real-time operational accuracy.

[0037] A user-interface inbuilt in a remote computing unit allows authorized personnel to access real-time updates on the evacuation process, including information on which floors remain accessible, enabling efficient coordination of the evacuation efforts. The user interface allows authorized personnel to access real-time updates by use of the computing unit that is transmitted to the microcontroller through a communication module. The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the microcontroller. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing systems to exchange information over short or long distances.

[0038] For navigating around debris or structural hazards during evacuation operations, the mobile bodies 101 are equipped with dynamic obstacle detection and avoidance modules. The obstacle detection and avoidance modules within the mobile bodies 101 operate through a combination of sensor and intelligent processing protocols. These modules typically utilize a suite of sensors such as LiDAR to continuously scan the environment around the system, generating real-time spatial data about nearby objects and hazards. LiDAR operates by emitting rapid pulses of laser light toward surrounding objects and measuring the time taken for each pulse to reflect back to the sensor. This time-of-flight measurement allows the LiDAR to calculate the precise distance to objects with high accuracy. As the sensor continuously spins or scans across the environment, it collects a dense array of distance data points, creating a detailed three-dimensional point cloud map of the surroundings. The microcontroller processes this data to identify obstacles, determine their size, shape, and position, and track their movement over time. The sensor data is processed by the microcontroller, which constructs a dynamic map of the surroundings, identifying the position, distance, and movement of obstacles.

[0039] The microcontroller uses advanced AI (artificial-intelligence) protocols to optimize flying unit 201 navigation and movement coordination of the bodies 101, ensuring the most efficient and safe evacuation paths are selected during a fire emergency. The AI protocols utilize machine learning, path planning, and real-time data analysis to optimize the navigation and coordination of the flying units 201. These protocols continuously process data from various sensor to build a comprehensive understanding of the surroundings, including obstacles, fire hotspots, and the positions of evacuees. Using this data, the AI employs advanced path planning protocols, combined with predictive modeling, to identify the safest and most efficient evacuation routes. This dynamically adjusts the flight paths of the units in response to changing conditions, avoiding hazards and congestion while ensuring timely evacuation.

[0040] For supplying power to electrical and electronically operated components, a battery is associated with the system. The battery powers electrical and electronic components by converting stored chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery’s terminals provide a voltage difference, allowing current to flow through circuits that supplies consistent energy to actuate and operate components like motors, sensors and microcontroller, ensuring seamless functionality.

[0041] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the plurality of mobile bodies 101 as disclosed in the invention, each equipped with the detachable autonomous flying unit 201. The flying unit 201 enables independent operation and facilitate real-time surveillance and assistance during emergency scenarios.

The pair of pneumatic inverted U-shaped clamps 204 lifts water pipes or water-filled buckets for firefighting purposes. The portable fire extinguisher 202 operable by the motorized C-shaped clipper 203 provided with the flying units 201 and monitored by the weight sensor detects when replacement is needed. The cavity 105 carved within each body 101, housing cascading ladders 106 attached to motorized sliders 107 with pneumatic vertical plates 108 serving as barriers where the ladders 106 extend forming the bridge between the bodies 101 for safe evacuation and crossing between buildings during the fire emergency. The pneumatic vertical plates 108 attached to the cascading ladders 106 are capable of adjusting in height for accommodating various building elevations and ensure the stable and safe crossing for evacuees. The platform 109 comprising horizontal sliding rails 110 and scissor arrangement 111 mounted within the compartment 112 in the bodies 101, the microcontroller actuates the sliding rails 110 and scissor arrangement 111 for extending and retracting the plates 108 forming the stable platform 109 for the safe transfer or evacuation of individuals.
