Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gefahren- oder Brandvibrationsalarmsystem nach den Merkmalen des ersten Patentanspruches.The invention relates to a hazard or fire vibration alarm system according to the features of the first claim.

Die Erfindung ist überall dort einsetzbar, wo Gefahren oder Brände zu erkennen sind und eine Alarmierung von Personen erfolgen muß, insbesondere von Personen, deren Sinnesorgane nur eingeschränkt funktionieren, was bei gehörlosen oder blinden Personen der Fall ist. Gehörlose Personen und Mitarbeiter in Bereichen mit sehr hohem Lärmpegel werden mit herkömmlichen Alarmierungssystemen bei Brandausbruch, bei Auslösen von Gaslöschanlagen oder sonstigen Gefahren in der Regel nicht zuverlässig vor diesen Gefahren gewarnt. Ähnliches trifft auch auf blinde Personen zu, die zwar akustische Signale gut wahmehmen können, weniger aber optische Signale, die in bestimmten Bereichen angeordnet sind. Dieser Personenkreis ist somit immer auf Hilfe angewiesen, die durch andere Personen geschieht, die die Gefahrenmeldung übermitteln.The invention can be used wherever hazards or fires are to be recognized and an alarm must be given by persons, in particular persons whose sense organs function only to a limited extent, which is the case with deaf or blind persons. Deaf persons and employees in areas with very high noise levels are usually not reliably warned of these dangers with conventional alarm systems in the event of a fire, the triggering of gas extinguishing systems or other dangers. The same applies to blind persons who, although they are able to perceive acoustic signals well, rather than optical signals, which are arranged in certain areas. This group of people is therefore always dependent on help that is done by other people who transmit the danger message.

Insbesondere Beherbergungsbetriebe wie Hotels und Gaststätten, Seniorenheime, Krankenhäuser, Ferienanlagen, Kureinrichtungen haben die Möglichkeit, Behinderte zu registrieren und das Bestreben, auch diese Personen im Falle eines Brandes umfassend zu informieren. Dazu sind allerdings nur ortsgebundene Lösungen bekannt, wie die Alarmierung über einen Home-Rauchmeider und Kabelverbindung auf ein Vibrationskissen. Diese Lösung hat den Nachteil, daß sich Personen im Schlaf nicht immer mit ihrem Körperteil auf diesem Vibrationskissen befinden, um die Schwingungen zuverlässig übertragen zu bekommen.In particular, accommodation facilities such as hotels and restaurants, retirement homes, hospitals, holiday resorts, spa facilities have the opportunity to register disabled people and the endeavor to provide these persons with comprehensive information in the event of a fire. For this purpose, however, only localized solutions are known, such as the alarm via a home Rauchmeider and cable connection to a vibration pad. This solution has the disadvantage that people are not always in their sleep with their body part on this vibration pad to get the vibrations transmitted reliably.

Für das Erfassen von Bränden oder ähnlichen Gefahren sind sehr unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten bekannt. Aus DE 44 09 900 C1 geht ein optischer Rauchmelder hervor, der Gefahren durch einen Brand optisch erfaßt und an eine Brandmelde- und Gefahrenzentrale übermittelt, wonach eine Alarmierung erfolgt und ein Feuerlöschsystem, beispielsweise eine Sprinkleranlage, ausgelöst werden kann.For the detection of fires or similar dangers very different possibilities are known. Out DE 44 09 900 C1 goes out an optical smoke detector, the hazards detected by a fire visually and transmitted to a fire alarm and danger center, after which an alert is made and a fire extinguishing system, such as a sprinkler system, can be triggered.

ln DE 195 31 917 C1 wird eine Detektor für elektromagnetische Strahlungen beschrieben, der von Flammen ausgesandte Strahlungen mißt und auf diese Weise Räume überwacht. Mögliche Warnungen werden an eine Gefahren- und Brandmeldezentrale weitergegeben und ggf. ein Alarm ausgelöst bzw. eine Löschanlage ausgelöst. Das Auslösen des Alarmes an Personen wird in der Regel durch optische oder akustische Signale vorgenommen.ln DE 195 31 917 C1 describes an electromagnetic radiation detector which measures radiations emitted by flames and thus monitors rooms. Possible warnings are forwarded to a danger and fire alarm control panel and, if necessary, an alarm is triggered or an extinguishing system is triggered. The triggering of the alarm to persons is usually carried out by optical or acoustic signals.

Es ist grundsätzlich bekannt, Signale durch Vibrationen auf den menschlichen Körper zu übertragen. Das wird beispielsweise für Wecksysteme mit Vibrationsalarm genutzt. Aus DE 200 19 401 U1 geht ein Wecksystem mit Vibrationsalarm hervor, bei dem der Wecker eine Einrichtung zum Erzeugen und drahtlosen Übertragen von Informationssignalen zum Steuern der Vibrationseinrichtung aufweist.It is generally known to transmit signals by vibrations to the human body. This is used, for example, for alarm systems with vibration alarm. Out DE 200 19 401 U1 shows a wake-up system with a vibrating alarm, in which the alarm clock has a device for generating and wirelessly transmitting information signals for controlling the vibration device.

Auch in DE 296 16 245 U1 ist ein Wecker beschrieben, der über ein Funksignal eine mechanische Vibration an einem dafür vorgesehenen Armband mit Empfängerteil auslöst. Ähnliche Einrichtungen werden in DE 201 04 953 U1 offenbart, wobei eine Uhr mit zusätzlichen externen Teilen in Form eines Armbandes vorgestellt wird, wobei die Uhr und das Armband per Funk miteinander verbunden sind oder die DE 197 27 951 A1 , die eine Vibrationseinrichtung zur Erzeugung eines stillen Alarmes beschreibt, für am menschlichen Körper zu tragende Gegenstände. Auch die EP 0 585 470 B1 beschreibt ein elektronisches Gerät mit Vibrationsalarm.Also in DE 296 16 245 U1 an alarm clock is described, which triggers a mechanical signal via a radio signal to a designated bracelet with receiver part. Similar facilities are in DE 201 04 953 U1 discloses, wherein a clock is presented with additional external parts in the form of a bracelet, the clock and the bracelet are connected by radio or the DE 197 27 951 A1 , which describes a vibration device for generating a silent alarm, for objects to be worn on the human body. Also the EP 0 585 470 B1 describes an electronic device with vibration alarm.

Betreiber von Beherbergungsstätten wie diese oben bereits genannt wurden, sind bestrebt, diese auch für behinderte Gäste, wie sie Blinde, Gehörlose oder Schwerhörige darstellen, so auszurüsten, daß diese auch im Alarmfall umfassend und rechtzeitig alarmiert werden. Derartige Lösungen sind derzeitig nicht bekannt.Operator of accommodation as these have already been mentioned above, endeavor to equip this also for disabled guests, such as the blind, deaf or hard of hearing, so that they are alarmed in the event of an alarm in full and in good time. Such solutions are currently unknown.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Gefahren- und Branderkennungs- und Alarmierungssystem zu schaffen, mit dem Behinderte, insbesondere seh- und hörbehinderte Menschen, zu jeder Zeit und in jeder Situation über Gefahren informierbar sind. Das trifft auch zu für Mitarbeiter in Lärmbereichen, die frühzeitig über Gefahren informiert werden müssen.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a hazard and fire detection and alarm system, with the disabled, especially visually impaired and hearing impaired, at any time and in any situation about dangers are informable. This also applies to employees in noise areas who need to be informed about dangers at an early stage.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Gefahren- oder Brandvibrationsalarmsystem nach den Merkmalen des ersten Patentanspruches gelöst.
Unteransprüche geben vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung wieder.This object is achieved by a hazard or fire vibration alarm system according to the features of the first claim.
Subclaims give advantageous embodiments of the invention again.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung sieht vor, daß in einem Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereich angeordnete Erkennungselemente, beispielsweise Rauchmelder, ein Signal an eine Gefahren- und Brandmeldeanlage übermitteln und in dem Übertragungs- und Alarmierungsbereich Funk-Aktoren angeordnet sind. Es besteht auch die Möglichkeit, daß ein Funk-Aktor direkt am Rauchmelder angeordnet ist und sofort ein Signal an das Vibrationsarmband übermittelt.The solution according to the invention provides that detection elements arranged in a monitoring and alarming area, for example smoke detectors, transmit a signal to a hazard and fire alarm system and radioactuators are arranged in the transmission and alarming area. There is also the possibility that a wireless actuator is located directly on the smoke detector and immediately transmits a signal to the vibration bracelet.

Bei den Erkennungselementen kann es sich auch um eine Sprinkleranlage handeln, die selbständig auslöst und über einen Sender sofort ein Signal an das Vibrationsarmband weitergibt. In die Brand- oder Gefahrenmeldeanlage werden auf dem "Loop" (Bus-System) an verschiedenen Stellen im Gebäude bzw. im gefährdeten Bereich Funk-Aktoren integriert, die bei Auslösen eines bestimmten Ereignisses über einen genormten Funkkanal Signale im Funkbereich aussenden. Diese Signale werden von Funkvibrationsarmbändem empfangen und durch mechanische Reize deren Träger weitergegeben. Somit ist es für jede dieser Personen möglich, mittels dieser Alarmierung einen Zeitvorsprung oder überhaupt eine Alarmierung zu erhalten und sich früh genug in Sicherheit zu bringen. Bei den Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereichen kann es sich um verschiedene Zimmer oder Etagen eines Hotels handeln, um Zimmer eines Krankenhauses, Etagen eines Alten- oder Pflegeheimes, ein Gelände selbst, die Sprinklerzentrale, einen beliebigen Raum wie Räume einer Kureinrichtung oder aber Arbeitsstätten, in denen ein außerordentlich hoher Lärmpegel herrscht, so daß eine Alarmierung über akustische oder optische Signale nur mangelhaft funktioniert. Durch Normung sind diese Funk-Aktoren und Vibrationsarmbänder weltweit einsetzbar.The detection elements may also be a sprinkler system, which triggers independently and immediately transmits a signal to the vibration bracelet via a transmitter. In the fire or danger alarm system, radio actuators are integrated on the "loop" (bus system) at various points in the building or in the hazardous area, which emit signals in the radio area when a specific event triggers a standardized radio channel. These signals are received by Funkvibrationsarmbändem and passed through mechanical stimuli whose carrier. Thus, it is possible for each of these persons, by means of this alerting to obtain a time advantage or even an alarm and to bring early enough to safety. The monitoring and alerting areas may be different rooms or floors of a hotel, rooms of a hospital, floors of a nursing home or nursing home, a site itself, the sprinkler center, any room such as spa premises or workplaces where An extremely high noise level prevails, so that an alarm via acoustic or optical signals only works poorly. Through standardization, these wireless actuators and vibration wristbands can be used worldwide.

Die Signale zwischen den Funk-Aktoren und dem Empfänger am Armband werden per Funk übertragen. So kann ein Alarm vom Erkennungselement, z. B. dem Brandmelder und dessen Sender, direkt an den Träger eines Armbandes und ggf. an eine Gefahren- und Brandmeldeanlage übermittelt werden. Auch ein Sender an einem Druckknopf einer Alarmanlage ist möglich.The signals between the radio actuators and the receiver on the bracelet are transmitted by radio. Thus, an alarm from the detection element, for. B. the fire detector and its transmitter, directly to the wearer of a bracelet and possibly transmitted to a hazard and fire alarm system. A transmitter on a push button of an alarm system is possible.

Vorteilhaft ist es, die Signale zwischen der Brandmeldeanlage und den verschiedenen Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereichen mittels Kabel zu übertragen. Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, Funk-Aktoren und Erkennungselemente in den verschiedenen Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereichen in Reihe zu schalten. Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, den Empfänger für das Vibrationssignal als Armband am menschlichen Körper anzuordnen und mit einer Funktionskontrolle auszurüsten, die mit der Gefahren- und Brandmeldeanlage rückgekoppelt ist, so daß in dieser ein Signal aufläuft, welches darüber informiert, daß der Träger des Armbandes informiert ist. Das Armband überwacht seine Funktionsbereitschaft, insbesondere den Batteriezustand, und signalisiert Störungen dem Träger.It is advantageous to transmit the signals between the fire alarm system and the various monitoring and alarm areas by means of cables. Furthermore, it is advantageous to connect radio actuators and recognition elements in series in the various monitoring and alarm areas. Furthermore, it is advantageous to arrange the receiver for the vibration signal as a bracelet on the human body and equipped with a functional control, which is fed back with the hazard and fire detection system, so that in this a signal runs, which informs that informs the wearer of the bracelet is. The bracelet monitors its operational readiness, in particular the battery condition, and signals disturbances to the wearer.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn von der Gefahren- und Brandmeldeanlage die vorgesehenen Löschmittel wie Sprinkleranlagen ausgelöst werden sowie ein Alarmieren der Feuerwehr erfolgt.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the intended extinguishing agent such as sprinkler systems are triggered by the hazard and fire alarm system and an alarm of the fire department takes place.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung an vier Figuren und einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Die Figuren zeigen:

Figur 1:
Schematische Darstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Alarmsystems.
Figur 2:

The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to four figures and one exemplary embodiment. The figures show:
FIG. 1:
Schematic representation of the alarm system according to the invention.
FIG. 2:
Schematic representation of a radio actuator.
FIG. 3:
Schematic representation of a vibrating bracelet.
FIG. 4:
Schematic representation of the alarm system without wire connections.

Die Figur 1 zeigt die schematische Darstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Alarmsystems, bei dem in acht Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereichen 4 Erkennungselemente 2, beispielsweise Brandmelder und Funk-Aktoren 3, angeordnet und über Kabel 6 miteinander verbunden sind. FIG. 1 shows the schematic illustration of the alarm system according to the invention, in which four detection elements 2, for example fire detectors and radio actuators 3, are arranged in eight monitoring and alarming areas and connected to one another via cable 6.

Die Gefahren- und Brandmeldeanlage 1 ist in einem Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereich 4 angeordnet. Erkennungselemente 2 und Funk-Aktoren 3 sind in Reihe geschaltet. Sobald ein Rauchmelder oder Erkennungselement 2 ausgelöst wird, wird durch die Gefahren- und Brandmeldeanlage 1 die Feuerlöschanlage aktiviert und Alarm über alle Funk-Aktoren 3 ausgelöst.The hazard and fire alarm system 1 is arranged in a monitoring and alarm area 4. Recognition elements 2 and radio actuators 3 are connected in series. As soon as a smoke detector or detection element 2 is triggered, the fire-extinguishing system is activated by the danger and fire detection system 1 and alarm is triggered via all radio actuators 3.

Die Figur 2 zeigt den Funk-Aktor 3 in Prinzipdarstellung, der im vorliegenden Fall ein Signal und die Betriebsspannung über die elektrische Leitung 6 erhält. Dieses Signal wird von einem Wandler 8 ausgewertet und in Wirkrichtung 11 auf Sendeeinheit 9 weitergegeben, so daß über die Antenne 10 ein Funksignal an den Empfänger erzeugt und weitergegeben werden kann. Der Empfänger, d. h. im vorliegenden Fall eine Person, die alarmiert werden soll und sich im Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereich 4 aufhält, wird in der Weise informiert, daß der Funkempfänger 12 des Vibrationsarmbandes 5, welches mittels Armband 13 am Arm der betreffenden Person befestigt ist, ein Signal auslöst. Das Signal des Funkempfängers 12 wird an die Vibrationseinheit 14 weitergegeben, worauf diese aktiviert wird und einen Vibrationsalarm auslöst, so daß die das Armband 13 tragende Person unabhängig von ihrer Tätigkeit oder ihrem Ort im Überwachungs- und Alarmierungsbereich 4 über den Alarm informiert ist. Als Vibrationsarmband 5 sind Vorrichtungen verwendbar wie sie nach dem Stand der Technik bekannt sind. 2 shows the radio actuator 3 in a schematic representation, which receives a signal and the operating voltage via the electrical line 6 in the present case. This signal is evaluated by a converter 8 and passed in the direction of action 11 on the transmitting unit 9, so that via the antenna 10, a radio signal to the receiver can be generated and transmitted. The receiver, ie in the present case a person to be alerted and in the monitoring and alarm area 4, is informed in such a way that the radio receiver 12 of the vibration bracelet 5, which is attached by means of bracelet 13 on the person's arm, triggers a signal. The signal of the radio receiver 12 is passed to the vibration unit 14, whereupon it is activated and triggers a vibration alarm, so that the person wearing the bracelet 13 is informed about the alarm, regardless of their activity or their location in the monitoring and alarming area 4. As vibration bracelet 5 devices are used as they are known in the prior art.

Die Figur 4 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem an den Erkennungselementen 2 Funk-Aktoren 3 angeordnet sind, die den Alarm direkt an die Vibrationseinheit 14 des Armbandes 7 und an die Gefahren- und Brandmeldeanlage 1 weitergeben. Auf diese Weise kann ein Alarm vom Rauchmelder oder vom Sprinkler direkt an den Träger des Armbandes 7 übermittelt werden. FIG. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment in which radio actuators 3 are arranged on the detection elements 2, which transmit the alarm directly to the vibration unit 14 of the wristband 7 and to the danger and fire alarm system 1. This way you can Alarm from the smoke detector or the sprinkler directly to the wearer of the bracelet 7 are transmitted.

Die Lösung hat den Vorteil, daß behinderte Menschen, insbesondere gehörlose Personen oder Personen, die in lärmgefährdeten Bereichen arbeiten, zuverlässig an ein Gefahrenmeldesystem anschließbar sind und ein Gefahrensignal zuverlässig und mit geringem Aufwand auf diese Personen übertragbar sind.The solution has the advantage that disabled people, especially deaf persons or people who work in noisy areas, are reliably connected to a hazard detection system and a danger signal reliably and with little effort to these persons are transferable.
