Abstract

A monitoring device for large buildings, e.g. hospitals, department stores and the like with a monitoring console which has signal generators which can be electrically connected to a control unit. Sensors disposed to detect heat, smoke or the like in the building are electrically connected to the control unit and actuate the signal generators in the event of abnormal operating conditions. According to the invention, the time which elapses between the occurrence of interference and an intervention is shortened in comparison with known systems and safety is thereby increased. This is achieved in that the outline plans of at least one floor of the building are recorded on a panel accommodated in the monitoring console, where the disposition of the signal generators in the outline plans is designed so that it coincides physically with their location within the building.

Description

Monitoring device for large buildings

The invention relates to a monitoring device for large buildings, E.g. clinics, department stores and the like with one housed in a housing -Control panel, a plate arranged in the housing on which at least a signal transmitter, in particular a signal lamp, is provided which is connected to a Control device is electrically connectable, which the latter with e.g. on heat or Hauch or other criteria-responsive sensors are electrically connected to such Monitoring devices are used to protect people in the building and the building itself.

In the one mentioned, usually in the porter's room or in a guard room arranged control panel are the individual labeled optical Signal transmitters, mostly signal lamps, housed above and 'or next to one another. the Signal lamps are continuously labeled and are assigned to the monitoring person, e.g. the porter or a wacnter has a table available from which he can determine the position of the determine the sensors assigned to the individual signal lamps within the building can. If one of the signal lamps responds, it is necessary for the supervisor the location of the room in which a disturbance, usually a fire has occurred, use the table to locate where Valuable time is lost, leading to an intervention, e.g. initiation of a fire alarm, a certain period of time passes during which those in the building People are at risk.

It is the object of the invention, the time, which from the occurrence of a Disturbance until an intervention passes, shorten, and so the safety of the to enlarge the bound people and the building itself.

This object is achieved with a monitoring device mentioned at the beginning according to the invention in that the floor plans of at least one storey on the plate of the building are recorded and that the signaling devices in the floor plans in spatial are arranged in accordance with their location within the building. The supervisor is thus able to recognize immediately at which point the fault is occurring takes place, e.g. a fire has broken out, and the necessary measures must be taken. It should also be said that the fire brigade has a plan that is completely agrees with that recorded on the disk, so that the fire chief can provide information about the exact location of the fire as soon as the vehicle starts up.

Another feature of the invention is that in the escape routes in the color of the floor plans recorded on the plate Plate of different color see below are drawn in green.

It is further provided according to the invention that several on the plate additional signal heads of different colors for the displays "operation", "malfunction", elder triggered "and a push button for turning off one when one is addressed the sensors sounding acoustic indicator z.r. a magnifying glass provided are.

A further development of the invention consists in the walls of the escape routes inside the building, light arrows indicating the escape direction and a control unit, through which when one of the signal transmitters on a certain floor is triggered the light arrows on this floor in a direction pointing away from the fire be made to blink. This prevents those leaving the building People use an escape route that leads to the source of danger.

Furthermore, according to the invention, a control device can be provided by which also shows the light arrows above the specific floor Floors are made to flash. In this way it should be achieved that first those on the floor of the fire source and those on floors above it people left the bondage to avoid being too crowded.

Further features of the invention are derived from those shown in the drawing Refer to the exemplary embodiment.

The drawing is with G that from a cuboid sheet metal housing the existing control panel, its top with a Glass plate is covered.

A plate 1 is arranged in the housing, on which the floor plans drawn from two floors siiict. The escape routes are in the green cracks F marked hatched. The arrows indicate the direction of the escape routes. In the Signal lamps 31, 32, 33 ... 36 and their position are also drawn in on the floor plans exactly with the spatial position of the signal lamps arranged in the building Sensors matches which one is based on fire and - or smoke - or other criteria respond and a signal to a control unit arranged below the plate 1 by which the assigned signal lamp, e.g. 33 comes to light up. The control device can also be arranged outside the control panel.

On the plate 1, signal generators are furthermore denoted by 4 for the operational display, 5 for "Fault", 6 for "Detector triggered" and a push button 7 for switching off a caterpillar arranged in or next to the control panel.

The above-mentioned control unit for the beta: processing of the directional arrows on the walls of the escape routes in the building is also installed below the plate 1.

The direction arrows as well as the required wiring between them and the control unit as well as the supply lines to Qen sensors in the building and the sensors themselves are not shown in the exemplary embodiment.
