Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a fire safety system for buildings that ensures real-time detection of hazardous conditions and facilitates a guided evacuation process for individuals within the building by providing a safe and efficient escape route while minimizing exposure to potential threats.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Fire incidents can cause severe casualties and property damage if not controlled in a timely manner. In case of such emergencies, individuals inside the building must be guided efficiently toward a safe exit to minimize risks. However, in large or complex structures, people may face challenges in locating the nearest escape routes, leading to panic and increasing the chances of injury or fatalities.

[0003] In many cases, individuals trapped inside a burning building may not be able to navigate through dense smoke or may become disoriented due to extreme conditions, making self-evacuation difficult. Additionally, traditional fire alarm provide only auditory alerts without offering clear directional guidance to the occupants. Moreover, emergency responders often face difficulties in locating individuals who require immediate assistance, especially in multi-story buildings where mobility-impaired persons may be unable to escape without external aid.

[0004] Fire emergencies also pose significant challenges in maintaining air quality, as the spread of toxic gases can lead to suffocation and severe health issues for individuals within the building. While ventilation solutions exist in modern infrastructure, they are not always optimized for emergency situations, resulting in the accumulation of harmful fumes. Furthermore, conventional evacuation methods lack an approach for rescuing individuals who are unable to escape on their own, leading to delays in rescue operations.

[0005] US5263543A discloses a fire prevention system is disclosed herein for external installation on a dwelling having an extended conduit closed at one end and detachably coupled to a source of pressurized water at its opposite end. A portion of the conduit is disposed along the highest part of the roof and is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart fluid discharge nozzles such as sprinklers. A smoke detector and sprinkler activator are operably connected to the conduit and is critically mounted on the exterior of the dwelling on the side thereof most likely to detect the presence of smoke. The windward side is an example. The activator includes solenoid operated valves responsive to the detector and further, a deactivate circuit is operably included for automatic shut-off.

[0006] US20230191175A1 discloses a fire suppression system according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a detection unit for detecting a particular change due to a fire and transmitting a particular change value as a measurement value; a fire extinguishing unit for spraying a fire extinguishing substance; a control unit for receiving the measurement signal and transmitting an execution signal to the fire extinguishing unit; and a management unit enabling a user or a manager to confirm whether or not there is a fire, and for remotely, operating the fire extinguishing unit, wherein the control unit transmits a notification signal to the management unit only when a measured measurement data value exceeds a threshold value, and transmits the execution signal only when an operation command is received from the management unit, thereby enhancing convenience and safety and reducing the initial cost.

[0007] As per the discussion in the above-mentioned prior arts, various fire safety systems have been developed to detect fire and alert building occupants. However, these conventional systems do not provide a guided evacuation strategy, real-time hazard assessment, and an automated rescue solution for individuals who are trapped. Additionally, these existing fire control solutions do not focus on the removal of hazardous gases to ensure a safer breathing environment during evacuation.

[0008] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to provide real-time hazard detection means and automated guidance for safe evacuation, to assist individuals who are unable to escape independently. Additionally, the developed system also needs to be capable of managing air quality by reducing exposure to toxic gases and providing continuous monitoring of environmental conditions to enhance safety during fire emergencies.

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. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

[0023] 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.

[0024] 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.

[0025] The present invention relates to a fire safety system for buildings that assists in detecting hazardous conditions at an early stage and provides immediate evacuation support by guiding individuals towards a safe exit while minimizing their exposure to harmful environments. Additionally, the system facilitates emergency communication to relevant authorities to enhance safety of individuals until external assistance arrives, thereby ensuring efficient evacuation and risk mitigation during fire incidents.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 and 2, a perspective view of a fire safety system for buildings and an isometric view of a compartment associated with the system are illustrated, respectively, comprising a plurality of sensing units 101 installed throughout a building, a plurality of LEDs (light emitting diodes) 102 arranged along pathways of the building, an array of speakers 103 arranged within the building, channels 104 disposed within the building, a plurality of iris holes 105 is defined along the channels 104, a motorised fan 301 is disposed at each outlet of the channels 104, a layer of activated carbon 302 is provided along inner surfaces of the channels 104, a carrying arrangement 106 comprises a dual axis lead screw arrangement 107 mounted at an upper portion of the pathways, with a compartment 108.

[0027] Figure 1 and 2 further illustrates a thermal camera 201 is mounted on the compartment 108, a pair of sliding units 202 is arranged over upper and each lateral surface of the compartment 108 with a fire-resistant fabric 203, a plurality of rigid bars 204 is embedded in the fabric 203, a platform 205 is coupled with the compartment 108 in a hinged manner, a multi-section tank 206 is mounted on the compartment 108, each section containing a fire suppressant and configured with a nozzle 207 connected with the tank 206 by means of swivel joint 208.

[0028] The system disclosed herein comprises multiple sensing units 101 that are installed throughout the building for detecting hazard in building. Each sensing unit 101 comprises a smoke sensor, an IR (infrared) flame sensor, a gas sensor, and a thermocouple, ensuring comprehensive hazard detection. The smoke sensor detects the presence of smoke, indicating the early stages of a fire. The smoke sensor operates by detecting the presence of smoke particles in the air, which is often an early indicator of fire. In an embodiment of the present invention, the smoke sensor used herein is typically an ionization smoke sensor. The ionization smoke sensors contain a small amount of radioactive material that ionizes the air within the sensor. This ionization allows a small electric current to flow between two electrodes.

[0029] In another embodiment of the present invention the smoke sensor used herein is typically photoelectric smoke sensor. The photoelectric smoke sensors use a light source (usually an LED) and a photodetector placed at an angle. Under normal conditions, the light beam does not directly hit the photodetector. However, when smoke gets in contact with the sensor, it scatters the light, causing some of it to reach the photodetector, which then signals the presence of smoke.

[0030] The IR flame sensor identifies the presence of flames, enabling immediate recognition of fire outbreaks. The IR (infrared) flame sensor is designed to detect the presence of flames by analysing infrared radiation emitted by fire. Every flame emits IR radiation in a specific wavelength range, for example, 4.3 to 4.7 micrometres. The IR flame sensor consists of an infrared-sensitive photodiode or phototransistor that detects this radiation.

[0031] The gas sensor is responsible for detecting harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and other toxic fumes, preventing potential health hazards. The gas sensor is essential for detecting harmful gases that may pose a threat to occupants, including carbon monoxide (CO), methane (CH₄), propane (C₃H₈), and other toxic gases released during a fire. In an embodiment of the present invention, the gas sensor used herein is typically a semiconductor-based gas sensor that uses a metal oxide (typically tin dioxide, SnO₂) that reacts with gas molecules. When a harmful gas is present, it alters the electrical resistance of the sensor, generating a signal that indicates gas concentration.

[0032] In another embodiment of the present invention, the gas sensor includes electrochemical gas sensors that uses electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution. When gas molecules interact with the electrode, they produce an electrical current proportional to the gas concentration. These sensors are highly sensitive and commonly used for detecting toxic gases like carbon monoxide.

[0033] In another embodiment of the present invention, the gas sensor includes Infrared gas sensors operate by analyzing the absorption of IR radiation by gas molecules. Each gas absorbs IR radiation at a unique wavelength, allowing the sensor to identify and measure specific gases.

[0034] Additionally, the thermocouple measures temperature variations, allowing the system to track rising temperatures that may indicate an impending fire. In an embodiment of the present invention, the thermocouple is typically a temperature sensor that operates based on the Seebeck effect, where two different metal wires are joined at one end to form a junction. When this junction is exposed to heat, a voltage is generated that is proportional to the temperature. The thermocouple's voltage signal is then converted into temperature readings.

[0035] These sensing units 101 are all connected to a control unit, which acts as the central processing unit for hazard detection. The control unit continuously receives data from the sensing units 101, analyzing the information to determine if an emergency situation is developing. In the event of a detected hazard, the communication unit linked with the control unit sends immediate alerts to emergency services. The communication unit includes but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication). This real-time communication ensures that fire departments and other response teams are informed at the earliest possible moment, enabling a swift and efficient response to mitigate damage and protect occupants.

[0036] Based on the received data from the sensing unit, the control unit actuates a detection module, which is integrated with the control unit, plays a crucial role in managing evacuation procedures. The detection module is designed to continuously receive data from the sensing units 101 and assess the spread of the detected hazard. By analyzing the severity and location of smoke, flames, harmful gases, and temperature variations, the detection module determines a safe escape route for individuals within the building.

[0037] The escape route is dynamically planned based on the real-time situation inside the building, ensuring that individuals are guided away from danger, which helps to prevent people from unknowingly heading towards hazardous areas, instead directing them towards the safest and quickest exit. The detection module ensures that escape paths remain updated as the fire spreads, optimizing safety for occupants.

[0038] Based on the determined escape route, the control unit activates a plurality of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) 102, which arranged along the pathways of the building to assist individuals in navigating towards exits. The LED provides a clear visual indicator to occupants, illuminating the safest path towards the exit. The LEDs 102 work by utilizing a phenomenon called electroluminescence. When an electric current flows through the LED, it causes the electrons in the semiconductor material to release energy in the form of light, then the energy released corresponds to the wavelength of the light.

[0039] The dynamic activation of LEDs 102 ensures that only the correct route is highlighted, reducing confusion and preventing individuals from taking incorrect or dangerous paths. The use of LED indicators is particularly beneficial in low-visibility conditions, such as heavy smoke-filled environments, where traditional exit signs may be difficult to see, thereby enhancing evacuation efficiency, helping people to safely exit the building in an organized manner.

[0040] In addition to the LED guidance, an array of speakers 103 placed within the building get actuated by the control unit to provide real-time audio guidance to endangered individuals. These speakers 103 deliver clear and concise instructions based on the escape route planned by the detection module. The speaker 103 is capable of producing clear and natural sound and is capable of adjusting its volume based on ambient noise levels. The speaker 103 consists of audio information, which is in the form of recorded voice, synthesized voice, or other sounds, generated or stored as digital data.

[0041] This data is often in the form of an audio file. The digital audio data is sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The DAC converts the digital data into analog electrical signals. The analog signal is often weak and needs to be amplified. An amplifier boosts the strength to a level so that the speaker 103 drives it effectively. The amplified audio signal is then sent to the speaker. The core of the speaker 103 is an electromagnet attached to a flexible cone. These sound waves travel through the air as pressure waves and are picked by the user’s ear.

[0042] The audio guidance ensures that individuals receive immediate verbal directions, which is particularly helpful for visually impaired individuals or those in areas where visibility is severely compromised due to smoke. For example, if certain paths become inaccessible, it provides situational updates, informing individuals and redirecting them accordingly. The combination of audio and visual guidance significantly improves the chances of a successful evacuation.

[0043] To address the danger posed by harmful gases during a fire, the system incorporates multiple channels 104 throughout the building. These channels 104 connect the interior of the building with the exterior, allowing for the removal of harmful gases. Along these channels 104, a series of iris holes 105 is defined, enabling the inletting of toxic gases into the system for safe disposal. In an embodiment of the present invention, the iris hole 105 is typically composed of a series of thin, overlapping blades or petals arranged in a circular or hexagonal pattern. The microcontroller sends signals to the motor of the iris holes 105 to get open. The motor then rotates or moves the iris blades to open the iris hole 105 to the desired position for the removal of harmful gases.

[0044] Each channel 104 is equipped with a motorized fan 301 (as shown in figure 3) positioned at its outlet. These fans 301 create an outward flow of air, effectively expelling the harmful gases from the building. To further enhance air purification, a layer of activated carbon 302 (as shown in figure 3) is provided along the inner surfaces of the channels 104. The activated carbon 302 is a carbon 302aceous adsorbent with a high internal porosity, meaning it has a large internal surface area. This layer absorbs toxic compounds from the gases before they are released into the atmosphere, minimizing environmental contamination and ensuring that the expelled air is as clean as possible, thereby preventing suffocation and long-term exposure to hazardous fumes for individuals inside the building.

[0045] For the safe evacuation of endangered individuals, a carrying arrangement 106 is installed along the pathways of the building. The carrying arrangement 106 is designed to transport individuals from hazardous areas to safe exits. It features a dual-axis lead screw arrangement 107 mounted at an upper portion of the pathways, which enables controlled and precise movement of the evacuation. A compartment 108 is securely attached to the lead screw arrangement 107 to accommodate endangered individuals, providing a safe enclosure during the evacuation process.

[0046] To enhance the evacuation process, a thermal camera 201 is mounted on the compartment 108 to detect the position of endangered individuals in the vicinity of the fire, allowing the camera to locate those in need of rescue. In an embodiment of the present invention the thermal camera 201 uses a microbolometer, which is made up of tiny pixels that can detect infrared radiation, which is the heat energy emitted by individuals. When the infrared radiation hits the pixels, it causes a change in electrical resistance. The camera then measures this change in resistance for each pixel and converts it into a temperature value. These temperature values are then used to create an image, where different colors or shades represent different temperatures.

[0047] Based on the thermal camera’s data, the lead screw arrangement 107 is actuated accordingly, directing the compartment 108 towards the detected individual, which ensures that individuals in immediate danger are reached quickly and safely accommodated within the compartment 108 for evacuation. The lead screw arrangement 107 operates using a rotary-to-linear motion conversion principle. When a motor rotates the lead screws, the nut assembly attached to the compartment 108 moves along the threaded screws, causing the compartment 108 to translate linearly along the pathways. The dual-axis configuration ensures that the movement is stable, precise, and balanced even when the compartment 108 is carrying multiple individuals, thereby allowing for accurate identification of individuals, even in smoke-filled or low-visibility environments.

[0048] To facilitate the convenient entry of endangered individuals into the compartment 108, a platform 205 is coupled with the compartment 108 in a hinged manner. The platform 205 allows individuals to step into the compartment 108 easily, making the evacuation process more efficient. The hinged design ensures flexibility, allowing the platform 205 to fold away when not in use, which is particularly useful in emergency situations where rapid ingress and egress are necessary for a successful evacuation. The inclusion of a stable platform 205 minimizes the risk of injury during entry, ensuring that individuals can be safely accommodated.

[0049] Once an individual is inside the compartment 108, the lead screw arrangement 107 facilitates a smooth translation of the compartment 108 towards the building’s exit, ensuring a controlled and efficient evacuation.

[0050] To further safeguard individuals during evacuation, a fire-resistant fabric 203 is attached to sliding units 202 positioned on the upper and lateral surfaces of the compartment 108. The fabric 203 is deployed over the compartment’s surfaces, forming a protective barrier against fire exposure. The sliding unit 202 consists of a motor, and a rail unit integrated with ball bearings to allow smooth linear movement. As the motor rotates the rotational motion of the motor is converted into linear motion through a pair of belts and linkages. This linear motion provides a stable track and allows the fabric 203 to get deploy over the compartment’s 108 surfaces, forming a protective barrier against fire exposure.

[0051] A plurality of rigid bars 204 is embedded within the fabric 203 to maintain a taut deployment, ensuring the structural integrity of the protective cover. This design prevents flames from penetrating the compartment 108, providing additional protection to individuals inside. The deployment of fire-resistant fabric 203 significantly enhances the safety of the evacuation, reducing the risk of burns and other fire-related injuries.

[0052] Additionally, a multi-section tank 206 is mounted on the compartment 108, containing different fire suppressants. Each section of the tank 206 is configured with a nozzle 207 that is connected by means of a swivel joint 208 to allow for precise spraying of fire suppressants in the vicinity of the compartment 108, ensuring that individuals remain protected from fire hazards. The swivel joint 208 consists of a spherical bearing that allows for rotational movement of the nozzle 207 in multiple axes. The bearing is typically made of a high-strength, low-friction material such as stainless steel or ceramic, which enables smooth rotation and minimizes wear and tear. The swivel joint 208 also features a gasket that prevents fluid or gas from escaping or entering the joint, ensuring that the nozzle 207 remains pressurized and leak-free. As the nozzle 207 are actuated, the swivel joint 208 allows for a range of motion that enables the nozzle 207 to be positioned at the optimal angle and orientation for dispensing fire suppressants.

[0053] The fire suppressants are deployed to combat surrounding flames, reducing the risk of fire spreading to the compartment 108. This added layer of protection enhances the overall effectiveness of the evacuation, ensuring that endangered individuals remain safe throughout the evacuation process.

[0054] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the sensing units 101 as disclosed in the invention is installed throughout the building. These sensing units 101 include the smoke sensor, the infrared (IR) flame sensor, the gas sensor, and the thermocouple, all of which are connected to the control unit. The sensing units 101 continuously monitor the environment for signs of smoke, fire, harmful gases, and temperature variations. When the hazard is detected, the communication unit linked with the control unit promptly alerts emergency services, ensuring the rapid response to the situation. The detection module monitoring the spread of the detected hazard by assessing the situation and devising the safe escape route for individuals within the building. To guide endangered individuals towards safety, the plurality of LEDs 102 is arranged along the building’s pathways. These LEDs 102 are actuated in response to the escape route determined by the detection module, providing the clear visual guide to the nearest exits. Additionally, the array of speakers 103 is installed throughout the building to offer real-time audio guidance, further assisting individuals in navigating towards safety. To mitigate the risks posed by harmful gases, the system of channels 104 is incorporated within the building to facilitate the removal of these gases. The channels 104 feature multiple iris holes 105 that allow harmful gases to enter and be directed towards the exterior.

[0055] In continuation, at the outlets of these channels 104, motorized fan generates the outward flow, ensuring effective gas removal. Furthermore, the inner surfaces of the channels 104 are lined with the layer of activated carbon 302, which absorbs toxic compounds before the gases are released into the atmosphere, thereby reducing environmental pollution. For the evacuation of endangered individuals, the carrying arrangement 106 is installed along the building’s pathways. The carrying arrangement 106 includes the dual-axis lead screw arrangement 107 supporting the compartment 108 designed to accommodate individuals. The compartment 108 translates along the lead screw arrangement 107 towards the exit, ensuring the safe and controlled evacuation process. the thermal camera 201 is mounted on the compartment 108 to detect the position of individuals in the vicinity of the fire. Based on the detected location, the lead screw arrangement 107 adjusts accordingly, allowing the compartment 108 to move towards and retrieve the endangered individual. To enhance the safety of individuals within the compartment 108, the fire-resistant fabric 203 is attached to sliding units 202 positioned on the upper and lateral surfaces of the compartment 108. This fabric 203 is deployed to shield the compartment 108 from external fire hazards. Additionally, embedded rigid bars 204 within the fabric 203 ensure that it remains taut during deployment, offering structural integrity and protection. the platform 205, coupled with the compartment 108 through the hinged connection, facilitates the easy ingress of individuals into the compartment 108. For additional fire suppression, the multi-section tank 206 is mounted on the compartment 108. Each section contains the specific fire suppressant and is linked to the nozzle 207 via the swivel joint 208 for the targeted spraying of fire suppressants in the vicinity of the compartment 108, further safeguarding the endangered individuals.
