Description

Drill device and method for performing emergency drilling

Technical Field

The invention relates to a drilling device comprising a drilling device which can be used in a replaceable manner at different positions in the drilling device and a method for performing emergency drilling, in particular fire drilling, for training lifesaving forces, in particular for fire fighters.

Background

A large number of fire, evacuation and emergency drilling equipment are known, which use different fire and other drilling sites. These sites, which form the core of the exercise equipment itself, for example, display burning objects, buildings, and/or landscape segments. But they may also be situations that occur suddenly during the input of lifesaving forces or reflect or display aspects thereof. Such a drill site may also display smoke sites, sound sites (e.g., audio aspects of the victim shouting while evacuating, including the subject or mannequin to be rescued or collapsed building), and optical sites (e.g., electrical optical aspects such as lightning damage while evacuating). These sites may also be a combination of the above aspects, such as showing an explosion or the like.

A disadvantage of the known performance apparatuses is the lack of variability, for example because these are fixedly installed on site, but at least cannot be changed arbitrarily, for example because their interface circuit is fixedly installed in the performance area or in the building. So that the drill site is always in the same or only slightly changed position. This does not allow to a certain extent to recombine or arrange them. This is a disadvantage in the case of a construction according to the dummy or decoration principle known for such a practice device. In this known principle, a fixed or only limited movement of the functional field part, for example a gas burner, is fixedly mounted and likewise moved over the existing length of the pipeline. Additional accessory components (dummy "props" or decorations) are available for this purpose, which can be switched between these on-site parts taking on their function, such as, for example, kitchen fire decorations, bed fire decorations, gas cylinder fire decorations, etc.

In this case, however, it is clear to each repetitive user of such a practice device at which location of the practice device the practice site should be considered separately. If it is also desired to modify the dummy decoration, the basic distribution and structure of the plant site remains unchanged and easily visible to the user, which greatly limits the value of the plant for repeated users, since it is not always the case in practice that the challenges of changing and appearing unexpectedly always at different locations should be taken into account.

In this case too, it is technically scarcely possible to interchange and monitor very different sites. In this way, the "flashover" (i.e. Flash Over) module, which generates an explosive flame drum under the ceiling of a room, can be exchanged only rarely in technology with the bed fire decorations of the furnace base module on the floor. Such a smoke generator has not been able to exchange with fire trims at all.

Disclosure of Invention

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a drilling apparatus, on which the drilling site can be flexibly switched between the rooms or areas of the drilling equipment and operated at a glance, and also can be monitored technically, which also includes the possibility that there is no previously existing drilling site in a room/area at the time of configuration, and that a plurality of sites can be concentrated when needed in other rooms/areas-where there is no site in the previous configuration.

The highest degree of technical flexibility and exchangeability is achieved even between very different sites, so that for example even flashover modules can be exchanged with pure flue gas modules or bed fire modules. This is preferably done tool-free for reasons of simplicity.

This object is achieved by the solution described in the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are the solutions described in the dependent claims, which are described in detail below.

The greatest advantage of the drill device according to the invention is that it is possible to make the drill device

a) Repeat drill participants are consistently fresh, unexpected and facilitated in the changed configuration,

b) the actual configuration of the apparatus being coordinated with the teaching material or the constituent goals or degrees of the performance participants and

c) the configuration of the equipment is also planned, expanded and coordinated in a modular way, corresponding to future needs and budgets. The device can be dimensioned in a technically simple manner and can be developed with the requirements set forth for it, without the technical solution of the device having to be changed at all.

The drill unit has a pipe system for supplying combustion gas or combustion liquid and control pulses of the monitoring and control unit and electrical energy of the drill unit to a plurality of sites simultaneously.

The selected air delivery system ensures that combustion-supporting air or necessary oxygen required by combustion delivery of the fire drilling site is input.

The monitoring and control unit ensures the monitoring and the monitored work of all the exercise equipment put into operation. For this purpose, monitoring entities, such as touch screens, remote controls, keyboards or switch panels, which are connected to and operate (also wirelessly) the monitoring and control unit, can also be remotely controlled by one or more operating personnel.

By the convertible connection of the mobile drilling devices, in particular the fire drilling devices, according to the technology described herein, it is possible to display various drilling or fire situations in different rooms or different locations within a "drilling area".

The invention has the advantage for the user that each of the drill devices with fuel requirements uses a quick connection of the fuel supply system, which can be switched and configured without or at least with few tools, and that all of the drill devices, or at least a number of the drill devices belonging to the device (as long as the fuel supply is required to form the essence of the drill device), have a fuel supply interface that is common (standardized) to the device. The (standardized) separable connection in the practice apparatus is calledFuel supply system insert position。

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the detachable connection device is a quick-closing clutch in which the detachable connection device can be closed on one side (the pipe side of the supply device) or on both sides. In this case, a clutch can also be used, the two parts of which can be brought into an open state relative to one another by rotation (bayonet or threaded, for example, "Thread-to-Connect Couplings").

According to one embodiment of the invention, the fuel supply system (in particular in the case of gaseous fuels) is designed as an annular duct which surrounds the device and/or individual parts or chambers of the device.

An alternative rational construction of the fuel supply system, but in particular not only for liquid fuels, involves the fuel being delivered by a single-flow or two-flow feed and return system. In the case of a two-stream feed and return system, the connection of the drill unit to the fuel supply system, which is separable, is made of the same two parts.

Another possible configuration of the invention consists in that the fuel supply system is characterized in that the central or decentralized pressure regulating device keeps the fuel fluid pressure in the system constant or stable within the permissible window frame.

In addition to the fuel supply system, only the drilling equipment with the fuel requirement is necessary, and furthermore, for all switchable and monitorable drilling equipment, a connection device which can be disconnected from the monitoring system of the equipment is required.

An advantageous configuration of the invention for the user requires the use of a quick-connect device for each of the drill devices, which can be switched and quickly configured without tools or at least with few tools, and that all or at least a number of the drill devices belonging to the drill device have a universal (standardized) interface for the monitoring system of the device, which is called a monitoring system interface for the devicePlug-in location for data transmission system。

But in order for the monitoring and control unit to display the actual configuration correctly and to be able to monitor and control in a manner that is clear and safer, it is required that the plug-in location of the data transmission system obtains a unique electronic identification on the device.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the electronic identification is provided in advance and is used to connect between the device's performance unit and the monitoring system in the frame of each card position of the data transmission system by means of a digital encoder switch or an interruptible hardware byte.

Another technical configuration of the invention is realized by a Unique-ID chip with single-wire or double-wire communication in each plug-in position frame of the data transmission system. According to a further embodiment of the invention, the electronic identification is carried out by means of a microcontroller or an electronic storage medium (for example, EPROM or ASIC) in the frame of each plug-in position of the data transmission system, using a programmed ID. Another embodiment of the invention provides that the electronic identifier is used for the connection between the drill unit of the device and the monitoring system via an electronically readable NFC tag or RFID tag in the frame of each plug-in location.

An additional embodiment of the invention includes that, within the framework of each plug-in position for the connection between the drill unit and the monitoring system of the device, the microcontroller unit can simultaneously assume bus repair functions or bus access functions in the case of a data transmission system configured as a serial bus or switching (Switch) or bus (Hub) functions in the case of a network, for example in the case of ethernet, so that the integrity and/or the communication of the entire bus is likewise improved or maintained or extended or a larger total bus and/or network line length can be achieved.

However, in order to allow the monitoring/control unit to display the actual configuration for the user correctly and to monitor and control it in a clear and more secure manner, it is additionally required that each of the monitoring systems is connectableThe practice equipment obtains the unique on-equipment Electronic identification of。

According to one embodiment of the invention, this can be done by a digital encoder switch or a bridgeable/disconnectable/interruptible hardware byte in the exercise device or its cable connection. According to another embodiment of the invention, the Unique electronic identification of the device is carried out by a Unique ID chip with single-or two-wire communication in the device or in its cable connection. Another possible embodiment of the invention consists in that the unique electronic identification mentioned for the performance device in the device is made by a microcontroller or an electronic storage medium (such as for example an EPROM or an ASIC) with the performance site or its cabling becoming the ID. An alternative configuration of the invention consists in that the unique electronic identification mentioned for the performance device in the device is carried out by means of an NFC tag or an RFID tag that is electronically readable in the performance device or in its cable connection.

In order for the monitoring and control unit to display the actual configuration of the drilling apparatus correctly and to be able to monitor and control it in a clear and safer manner, the monitoring/control unit is required to obtain information via the data transmission system, which couplings exist between the position of the plug-in of the electronic unique identifier in the device and the drilling equipment located in the electronic unique identifier in the device, depending on the actual configuration of the drilling apparatus.

One embodiment of the invention comprises each association of the monitoring system and one of the plug-in positions of the performance equipment connected thereto, characterized in that the two electronic uniquely identifiable sections of the equipment (plug-in position of the monitoring system and performance site) can communicate with one another in such a way that the monitoring/control unit notifies the two electronic uniquely identifiable sections of the plug-in position to one another via the data transmission system during the connection and in such a way that the monitoring/control unit or the monitoring entity connected thereto automatically knows which performance equipment is connected to which plug-in position and preferably also whether a plug-in position is unoccupied.

In this case, according to a preferred embodiment, the electronics of the drill unit or its cable connection inform the drill unit via the serial bus system which card position the drill unit is actually connected locally.

For the function of the single convertible exercise apparatus, it is furthermore required that its power supply can be converted and converted separately, similarly to the above description of the fuel supply system and the data transmission system. Preferably, however, the data transmission system is associated with the power supply unit and is provided in a plug-in location.

One configuration of the invention that has advantages for the user consists in using a quick connection for each of the drill devices, which quick connection can be switched and quickly configured without tools or at least with few tools, and in that all or at least a number of the drill devices belonging to the device have a universal (standardized) power supply interface for the device. In contrast to this, it is then necessary for a universal (standardized) docking position (plug-in position) to be present within the power supply system device.

For the function of a single switching monitoring and combustion-capable drilling device in a completely or partially closed drilling room, it is furthermore required to ensure a supply of pre-combustion air or oxygen.

According to one configuration of the invention, the supply mentioned for the combustion air or oxygen of the burning drilling equipment is ensured by switching the minimum basic ventilation present in the drilling room on the basis of the ventilation of each room.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the supply of combustion air or oxygen for the fire drill unit is ensured by a compressed air connection to each drill unit, which is either structurally separate from the other plug-in connections described above, but which is either mechanically integrated with the fuel supply system, the data transmission system and/or the power supply unit and each uses one of these plug-in connections, according to a preferred embodiment.

According to a preferred and easy-to-handle embodiment, the card connection devices of the compressed air, data transmission system and power supply device are mechanically connected in as few as possible or even only one single card connection device.

This results in a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which only two mechanically separate connecting devices are implemented for the training device with fuel requirement: one for the fuel supply system and the second one that satisfies all the electrical connections (monitoring system, power supply and electronic identification of the position of the insert) and is mechanically integrated.

This results in a further embodiment of the invention, in which only two mechanically individually separable connecting devices are implemented for a training apparatus with fuel requirement: one for the fuel supply system and the second one for all the electrical connections (monitoring system, electronic identification of the power supply and the position of the insert and, if necessary, additional air connections for combustion air or combustion oxygen) and is mechanically integrated.

According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, only two mechanically separate plug connections are available for the practice device with fuel requirement: one for the fuel supply system and the second plug connection is mechanically integrated with all electrical connections (monitoring system, power supply and electronic identification of the position of the plug). As an addition, an air connection for combustion air or combustion oxygen can be provided, for example in the form of compressed air. The air interface may be integrated with a plug connection of the fuel supply system.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention for a fuel-free drill unit, only one mechanically separate plug-in connection is realized, wherein all electrical connections (monitoring system, power supply and electronic identification of the (plug-in position) docking position) are integrated.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, all the connections necessary for the functioning of the system for each of the drill devices (with or without fuel requirement) are realized and fulfilled in only one mechanically separate connection for all drill devices.

To achieve the objects of the invention, including relating to a precautionary measure for operation, it is possible to have the operator and drill leader always perform under an overview of the equipment configuration and its safe operation. Of this type is a monitoring and control system with one or more monitoring entities, ideally determined according to the transferable configuration characteristics of the equipment.

The monitoring and control system or monitoring entity thus formed communicates with the practice device and, if necessary, the camera via a serial data transmission system. A preferred embodiment of the serial data transmission system is characterized as a bus system or network, for example as an ethernet-based network or as audio superimposed on a supply voltage. The monitoring system has one or more monitoring entities (bus or network master or instruction device), monitoring participants on the bus or network (drill device).

In one configuration of the invention, the monitoring entity may be: a touch screen computer and/or a wired remote control and/or a wireless remote control (via radio or optics).

In order to increase the security of the bus system, a higher-level additional security layer with a secure architecture is provided. This also prevents the unknown occurrence of electromagnetic radiation into the bus line or bus line disconnection device causing a potentially dangerous drill site or uncontrolled continuation (e.g. burning). In addition, this ensures that safety-relevant stop commands always have priority on the bus system and do not have to wait too long for transmission on the bus system that is satisfied with the message. This is achieved by corresponding allocation on the bus system, preferably by fixing to corresponding data packets or telegrams.

If more than one monitoring entity is present at the same time, a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that, at a technical central point of the monitoring system, either via software input or via hardware input, which monitoring entity actually has the highest priority (master). Another consistent configuration then includes that only the master drive has the right to send "unsafe commands" (i.e. commands that reduce the overall safety of the device, such as "fire", "fire getting bigger"), but other existing and functioning monitoring entities always have the right to send "safe commands" (increasing commands that set the overall safety, such as "fire extinguishing", "fire getting smaller").

The above-mentioned serial data transmission system is intended to be a system of a "safety data transmission system" as part of a monitoring system according to the purpose and the risk assessment, wherein in a preferred configuration, between each monitoring entity which allows the activation of potentially dangerous (fire) sites and each bus user (drill site), there is a "heartbeat" function and this characteristic, in the event of a line break or failure of the monitoring entity at each drill site, the bus itself enters a safe state (e.g. all fires are extinguished, smoke is eliminated, etc.) within a safe time after the "heartbeat" has ceased, and wherein this safe time is preferably, for example, greater than or equal to 200ms (until automatic disconnection) and in which the monitoring entities (main drivers) which each actually have the highest priority each undertake the task of sending a "heartbeat" to all drill sites, in order to thus ensure its proper functioning with respect to the exercise equipment.

Furthermore, a preferred embodiment is proposed, in which the serial data transmission system is configured in such a way that "safety commands" (for example, a disconnection command or such a command that increases the safety of the overall system-for example, "flame reduction") are always passed on the serial data transmission system with priority (explicit electronic priority) compared to other commands, and the user of the serial data transmission system is configured in such a way that "unsafe commands" are not executed until the serial data transmission system is additionally verified (commands that increase the risk of the overall system, for example, such as "fire" or "fire becoming great"): for this purpose, the monitoring entity first sends the original command, which the responding user stores, and waits for the subsequent direct sending of the same command by the same monitoring entity in the reverse (complementary form). Only in the case of two commands coinciding as supplements, the "unsafe command" is executed by the controlled bus user (drill site). This effectively prevents any interference from the serial data transmission system or EMV from causing potentially "unsafe instructions" respectively.

A preferred embodiment is also proposed in which all of the above-described safety configurations on the serial data transmission system continue consistently over their unlimited extension, in particular the "heartbeat" function on a (driver) wireless monitoring entity (such as a wireless remote control, for example) which actually has the highest priority. If the radio or optical "heartbeat" is cancelled, the receiver must ensure that the "heartbeat" that "transferred" it to the internal serial data transmission system is also cancelled immediately. This ensures that no exercise equipment can continue to operate without being monitored by the monitoring entity, but instead automatically enter a more secure state (e.g., fire extinguishment) immediately in the event of a low battery-charge or a transfer "out of range".

If a monitoring entity has an optical surface GUI (graphical user interface, e.g. a computer with or without a touch screen or tablet), it has in a preferred construction the following features for comfort and more secure functionality: the GUI displays in real time and at a glance which of the devices is being connected at which plug-in location. In this case, the plug-in location operates a unique identification that is transmitted to the serial data transmission system.

Furthermore, an embodiment of the invention is proposed in which the near-real and/or photographic display of the drilling device with a high repetition identification value for the operator and/or the different state possibilities in which the near-real and/or photographic display with a high repetition identification value for the operator for each drilling device corresponds to the state messages electronically received by the drilling device.

It is also possible to have a preferred configuration in which the GUI displays its necessary monitoring elements or displays in association with the characteristics of each drill site and/or in which these elements are start buttons and/or stop buttons and/or in which these monitoring elements can dynamically enhance or impair the function or in which these monitoring elements are knobs, for example, for reducing or increasing the fire and/or wherein the monitoring elements are knobs, for example, for reducing or increasing the fire and/or wherein the monitoring elements are movement or rotation actuators, for example, for reducing or increasing the fire and/or wherein the monitoring elements are zones, parameters for determining the operation of the site and/or wherein such parameters are the delay times with which the drill site reacts to external start signals or fire fighting attempts and/or wherein the monitoring elements switch on or off the occurring back arcs when the fire is not extinguished sufficiently.

Furthermore, a rational embodiment of the invention is proposed, in which the monitoring elements specify the degree of difficulty of fire suppression and/or in which the monitoring elements can (by means of an operator) select between automatic fire suppression recognition and manual fire suppression functions and/or in which the action times are detected and displayed by the drill participants outside the drill site displayed (for example by means of sensors from the recording of the time of fire suppression attempted from the fire suppression attempt) and/or in which monitoring elements are displayed which store such action times externally by the drill participants.

In an additional possible embodiment, the display resets the external monitoring device for the duration of action of the play participants. In a further possible embodiment, the degree of action of the medium (e.g. measured fire water usage) externally by the drill participant (e.g. time of attempted fire extinguishing from the fire extinguishing attempt recorded by the sensor) is detected and displayed by the displayed drill site and/or the degree of action of such medium externally by the drill participant is reset.

In an additional possible embodiment, the parameters of the room and/or of the drill site are measured in real time, and the alarm signals associated with the room and/or drill site are displayed on the GUI (e.g. temperature, gas concentration) and/or determined in real time, and displayed on the GUI as readable information (e.g. such as a pressed emergency button, too high a gas concentration and/or too high a room temperature).

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) can be monitored, in particular in a permanently installed monitoring unit, from a location, for example, from a monitoring room. In particular, a preview image of the camera that is directed at the site is displayed for this purpose, so that the drill leader can decide whether the site can be safely started up here.

If the preferred small preview image is mouse clicked, touched or otherwise activated, it is enlarged, for example as a pop-up window on the same or an additional display (e.g., on a monitor display). The camera display is re-scaled to the preview size by re-clicking, touching or wiping off (etc.). The camera system can be configured, for example, as an IP camera system or as a POE-IP camera system. The single or multiple cameras may be thermal imaging cameras.

According to one configuration, the camera image magnification is spread out on the same (e.g. in a pop-up window) and an additional display (e.g. in a monitor display) if the camera records the movement. The process is automatically cancelled in the absence of motion.

The camera can also be used for recording image sequences, such as recording with the drill participants and their multi-mode program parameters (fire agent consumption/fire extinguishing time) and/or biometric data (such as, for example, pulse/body temperature and/or blood pressure).

Suitable fire sites, such as, for example, smoke flashovers, can thus be installed and opened in different places in a replaceable manner by means of flashover modules (drill units) which are installed below the ceiling of the drill room.

Another site may use a backdraft door (backdraft door) module. This is a drill showing a complete set of fire doors which have been significantly heated by a blind fire in the back of which there is no oxygen and which can produce a smoke explosion in the event of inadvertent opening and a corresponding sudden oxygen input. In the case of the backhdraftdoor module, the drill equipment is replaced with a "normal" fire door prepared for this. The two doors are then mechanically locked and secured in their respective forward positions. The door of the drill unit is connected in its new position to the fuel supply system, the power supply device and the data transmission system. Thus, the fire department on the working surface of the backhaft Door module does not know which Door is configured as a backhaft-Door in this drill first, and therefore which Door will have a backhaft (smoke explosion) in the event of being inadvertently opened.

In order to further increase the near-reality of such a drill unit, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is supplemented by an electronic device within the drill unit for detecting the opening of the backhifdoer, whereby the backhift function is triggered as a fire situation. In an additional aspect of the invention, the electronic device is a reed contact having a corresponding magnet. In another embodiment of the invention, the electronic device may be an electromechanical end position switch and/or a reflective sensor. An additional embodiment of the invention is configured such that the electronic device is a capacitive or inductive proximity switch.

An understandably understandable embodiment of the invention is produced in the field of flue gas or mist (practice device flue gas or mist generator), wherein the flue gas or mist flow is integrated or entrained within or on the room of the scene.

Drawings

The invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings, to which, however, the invention is not restricted. In the drawings:

FIG. 1 shows one configuration of a drilling apparatus having two rooms;

fig. 2 shows the configuration of the drill apparatus of fig. 1 with another arrangement of drill apparatuses.

Detailed Description

In the drill equipment shown in the figures, two rooms 1, 2 are shown for drilling. The other chamber is the monitoring chamber 5. These rooms have a fixedly installed supply and monitoring infrastructure. The installation comprises a stationary installed fuel supply system for combustion gases or combustion liquids as a basis for the operation of the performance equipment with fuel requirements for the display of the fire performance site. The fuel supply system is formed by the fuel lines 12 of each of the drill rooms, which are each connected in common to a central pressure regulating system in the form of a central gas supply 15, for example with propane. The central gas supply device 15 is used to supply fuel into the supply system and to stabilize and secure the fuel pressure within the allowable range of pressures within the rehearsal system.

The minimum pressure in the fuel conduit 12 is determined by the nominal pressure required by the drill equipment connected to the fuel conduit 12, so that all test flames and/or main flames, in particular those of the drill equipment having the highest threshold value for the lowest nominal pressure, can still be safely burned or safely ignited remotely.

As long as the rated pressure for regulating operation in the drill equipment is lower than the pressure prevailing in the fuel line 12, a pressure relief valve is preferably used in the flexible detachable connection of the fuel delivery. The fuel line 12 preferably additionally comprises fuel safety devices, not shown, such as a safety shut-off valve (SAV) and a safety vent valve (SBV).

As designed for the limit width of the fuel lines 12 and the throughput capacity of the fuel lines 12, in this respect the maximum expected throughput capacity for all possible simultaneously connected drilling apparatuses 3 with fuel requirement is taken into account in the case of a co-time factor for which their operation is reasonably expected.

The fuel line 12 is preferably formed on or close to the floor of the respective drilling room 1 or 2, since the room atmospheric temperature and thus the thermal load of the system are the lowest in the intended operation of the device there.

The same type of insert location that is separable for fuel requirements is fixedly mounted on the fuel pipe 12 at an appropriate distance. In the embodiment shown in the figures, these are connected or disconnected without tools as "quick-Connect" or "screwed-on connections" (Thread-to-Connect connections) which are closed on both sides on the "male" surface. The width of the credit and its capacity for fuel passage at the rated pressure are determined by the drilling device connected thereto, which has the highest capacity for fuel passage, in which case the width of the credit of 1 inch is selected by the drilling device having the flashover site for the high fuel passage occurring intermittently during operation.

As many of the drilling apparatuses as possible are integrally moved in the drilling apparatus according to the present invention and are constructed to move between the drilling rooms. For the drilling devices 3 with flashover sites, this means, for example, that the drilling devices can each be suspended below the ceiling of the drilling room above any detachable plug-in position of the fuel supply system with holding means present on the wall there. For rack fire situations of the drilling equipment 3 or for tank fire of the drilling equipment 3, this means that these can be moved between the drilling rooms 1 and 2 and are located on the floor in front of any detachable plug-in position 10 for fuel delivery.

Each of the drill devices 3 with fuel requirement has a flexible detachable connection means for the fuel supply system or its ring conduit 12, respectively, with its fixedly mounted detachable plug-in position 10. In this embodiment, the connection is designed as a fuel supply connection in the form of a stainless steel annular metal bellows which is allowed for this purpose, which connects the actual practice site with the fuel requirement to a "Quik Couplings" closed on both sides or to a "female" surface of this same "Thread-to-connectitccouplings" which is connected or disconnected tool-free in relation to each of its fixedly mounted positions 10 for the fuel supply system.

The described stainless steel annular metal bellows must be designed to be so long in the case of a flashover (Flash Over) site that it can connect a practice site suspended below the ceiling to the fixedly mounted detachable plug-in position 10 located near the floor without any tensile stress, whereas the stainless steel annular metal bellows in the floor practice site can be designed to be correspondingly shorter on account of the smaller distance in operation from the fixedly mounted detachable plug-in position 10 located near the floor.

Furthermore, the fixedly installed supply and monitoring infrastructure shown here in the drilling rooms 1 and 2 comprises plug-in locations 9 for the purpose of controlling the drilling site to which the power supply is connected-this can also be a fuel-free drilling site-such as for example a smoke or electronic-sound (soundeffect-) site.

At least in each case in direct spatial addition to the above-mentioned plug-in position 10 for the fuel supply and if necessary in other positions inside the drill room 1 or 2, preferably integrally of the same type of plug-in position 9 is fixedly mounted for the purpose of control/monitoring and power supply of the drill equipment. They are formed in this configuration as the "female" side of a multifunctional and watertight industrial plug-and-socket connection with a plurality of functional blocks, which are tool-less connected or disconnected with respect to each of their accessories. If the plug-in position 9 for the purpose of control/monitoring and power supply of the drill unit is not actually connected to one such drill unit, a hood or cover sealed by means of water or fire-extinguishing agent is sealed closed in order to avoid short circuits and earthing in the system.

All fixedly mounted plug-in positions 9 for control/monitoring and power supply are connected via electrical connection means in the form of a bus system 8 to a monitoring and control unit 7 of the host, which is formed here as a monitoring console 7 with a touch-screen computer. The energy supply section fixedly connected to each detachable plug-in position 9 is in this case ensured by supply lines which primarily receive their electrical energy from the central monitoring/control station 7 and from there "loop" with each fixedly mounted plug-in position 9.

If the energy supply of each detachable plug-in position 9 is formed only or also with a voltage value above the protective low voltage

For safety reasons, instead of the "closed circuit" mentioned, the energy supply device, which preferably has a plug-in position 9 for each of the rooms fixed by means of a residual current circuit breaker, for each of the drilling rooms 1 or 2, is individually secured and

there is a need for an industrial plug-and-socket connection with a defined separation of the motor and safety technology between the contacts of the industrial plug-and-socket connection which are protected from small voltages and the contacts which are not protected from small voltages.

The energy supply device is not shown to be completely independent of the control system and is additionally connected to a separate emergency disconnection and warning system, which automatically disconnects the energy supply device from all the drilling devices in the event of an alarm and thus automatically closes or immediately emergently disconnects all the internal solenoid valves of the fuel supply system of all the drilling devices 3 with fuel requirement — likewise all the drilling devices 4 without fuel requirement proceed by eliminating each power supply.

The control function of each detachable plug-in location 9 is ensured in this case by a serial bus system which connects all detachable plug-in locations 9 to one another and to the monitoring and control unit 7 of the host via a fixed connection 8.

The further functional block of the industrial plug-in connection device described in detail above is used for the serial bus-supported data transmission with the plug-in/plug-in connection arrangement described here of the plug-in/plug-in devices 3 and 4.

All the plug-in locations 9 are furthermore electronically uniquely identified to fulfill the function of the drill unit, so that the assignment of "which drill unit 3, 4 is actually connected to which plug-in location 9" can be recognized and displayed on the monitoring and control unit 7.

This can be done either by

By means of a further function within the plug connection described in detail above, a "Unique identifier" (Unique ID) is transmitted away from the device, which electronically marks the plug-in position 9 or identifies it with it, for example by means of an integrated digital coding switch or a hardware byte that can be interrupted by the plug-in position 9, or by means of a Unique ID chip with single-or two-wire communication within the plug-in position (9), or by means of a microcontroller present there, or by means of a gaseous electronic medium with a programmed ID (for example, such as EPROM or ASIC). But electronically readable NFC tags or RFID tags or comparable technologies can also be used there; or either

The use of a microcontroller unit in the plug-in position (9) which simultaneously assumes bus maintenance functions or bus Gateway functions, so that integration and/or communication of the entire bus can be improved or discovered simultaneously or a greater entire bus line length can be achieved, in particular in this case the electronic identification of the plug-in position (9) can also be carried out already with respect to the potential connected practice site via the already existing serial bus data connection and does not necessarily require additional data pins as a function block within the industrial plug connection.

Each of the drill devices with or without fuel requirement now has a flexible detachable electrical connection for the described energy supply and control system and has a detachable connection to the fuel supply system or to the detachable insert positions 9 and 10 fixedly mounted thereto.
