Description

 MULTIFUNCTIONAL DEVICE FOR EVACUATION ROUTES BY LASER AND LEDS RAYS

 DIRECTIONAL.

State of the art

There is an unresolved problem regarding evacuation routes to follow during an emergency because they disappear in case of smoke and / or dust; The activation of the emergency lights can hardly cope with the greater opacity of smoke in the air leaving exposed people who did not reach the exit.

 The devices that exist to detect or detect something abnormal that can be recognized as an emergency are:

 . Smoke sensor

 .Gas leakage sensor

.Vibration sensor

 .Temperature sensor

 These sensors act each within their field of application, but not as a single set. The Multifunctional Device of evacuation routes by laser rays and directional LEDs has been developed to activate automatically or remotely because its sensors recognize when some parameters of the environment have been altered by the presence of smoke, dust, gas leakage, temperature increase , a telluric movement, the suspension of the electric fluid, converting all these events as an activation signal, adding to it the activation of a fire system (Patent No. 6068 lndecopi), with the addition of the cooling of the environment that allows to do less hostile the evacuation route.

The source of inspiration that led me to develop the Multifunctional Device for evacuation routes by laser and directional LEDs were two tragedies that occurred in six months; the first occurred in the galleries of Round Table that caused the death of 277 people and a greater number of disappeared and the second, the fire of the Utopia nightclub that truncated the life of 29 young people, coincidentally all these deaths were by smoke inhalation because the same visibility is impossible to find the emergency exit. From that moment on, I thought about developing a system or device that would allow us to trace a signage that could be visualized and any type of opacity (smoke or dust), so that people could find the evacuation route that would allow them to save their lives.

Document ES No. 2540455 describes an Intelligent Evacuation Routes Device that uses "n" sensors to detect and notify the intelligent evacuation routes module, i to activate the signage that will lightly visualize the route to follow in the event of an emergency.

 So far both devices; the one described above (ES N ° 2540455) and the Multifunctional Device for evacuation routes by laser and directional LEDs perform a similar function, however they differ from each other in the sense that my device has a fire protection system that also If a fire hazard is extinguished, it cools the environment where the C02 acts, allowing the passability of people.

Description of the invention

The innovation refers to the implementation of a device that forms paths of evacuation routes by laser beams and directional LEDs that allow people to reach the exit of a property in case of smoke presence by fire, general blackout, and / or a telluric movement. This device is implemented with a smoke sensor, gas sensor, a console with two batteries, laser emitters, photoresistors, vibration sensor, temperature sensor, emergency lights, siren, directional LEDs, electronic card, electronic oscillator, extinguisher C02 , 220 volt supply; Each element fulfills a function and as the case may be, each one acts within its scope and / or works all at once.

 This device is in a state of permanent alert and its objective is to give an early warning when an emergency situation begins to occur; such is the case of the presence of smoke in the environment; the sensor (3) warns with an audible and visible signal, sending a signal to the electronic card (12) so that it activates the directional LEDs (IO) that indicate the direction to be followed and the activation of the laser emitters (2) that installed at a certain height and flush to the wall complements the signage of the evacuation route.

The same objective is fulfilled by the electronic card (12) that, when the alternating electric power is disconnected, immediately turns on the emergency lights (9), the laser emitters (2), the directional LEDs (10) and the siren (8). The vibration sensor (6) recognizes a telluric movement and immediately activates the Multifunctional Device of evacuation routes by laser beams and directional LEDs.

The Multifunctional Device of evacuation routes by laser rays and directional LEDs has been developed to activate automatically or remotely, since its sensors recognize when some parameters have been altered as the case of smoke in the air in case of a fire or presence of dust in the environment, when an earthquake occurs, for example; To this last description is added the signal that the vibration sensor delivers in case of telluric movements, in addition and providing for a power cut in place a transfer relay will automatically activate the system and its autonomy is ensured for two hours, sufficient time to carry out an evacuation of the place.

 As can be seen, the elements that constitute this device can be used for a single purpose and automatically activated for each emergency that occurs as the case may be, such as:

 General blackout, smoke generation, dust, gas leaks, seismic movements; recognizing each one of these events as an emergency as the case may be, reacting immediately, warning visibly, audibly allowing at the same time to extinguish a fire hazard and in turn cools the environment, achieving a signaled and passable evacuation route.
