Description

Fire-fighting management system

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of fire fighting, in particular to a fire fighting management system.

Background

When a fire occurs, the on-site fire protection system cannot immediately notify related personnel to go to rescue, which can lead to serious work safety incidents. Therefore, there is a need to build fire protection systems that can be immediately managed.

The existing fire fighting system can be divided into a traditional (P type) central office and an intelligent (R type) central office. The difference between the traditional credit exchange and the intelligent credit exchange is as follows:

traditional credit exchange: as shown in fig. 1a, the conventional credit exchange is of a loop type, each loop is connected to a set of devices 10, wherein each set of devices 10 is composed of a plurality of sensors, such as a fire alarm sensor 12, a fault sensor 14, a smoke detection sensor 16, and a power failure sensor 18. Taking the conventional credit exchange as an example, each conventional credit exchange can be connected to about 200 loops, that is, 200 sets of devices 10 are connected, and the signal of each set of devices 10 is transmitted to the credit exchange 20 by a solid line connection. When a particular set of equipment 10 is triggered (e.g., a fire alarm occurs), the central office 20 receives the corresponding loop signal and issues an alarm 30 to notify the relevant personnel to identify which sensor within the set of equipment is experiencing the problem.

Intelligent credit exchange: as shown in fig. 1b, the intelligent central office may transmit the signal of each sensor, such as the fire sensor 12, the fault sensor 14, the smoke sensor 16, and the power failure sensor 18, in the equipment 10 to the central office 20 through the network communication card and/or the module card in a network transmission manner, so that the central office 20 may scan the status of each sensor in all the equipment 10. When the respective sensor is triggered, the credit exchange 20 immediately sends out an alarm, and the management and control unit 40 notifies the person associated with the sensor to go to rescue.

The problems of the traditional credit exchange and the intelligent credit exchange are as follows:

for the conventional credit exchange, each set of equipment includes a plurality of sensors, and as long as one of the sensors fails or is triggered, the equipment will transmit a signal to the exchange and send an alarm, so that the dilemma that the alarm is frequently triggered but which sensor fails to be known immediately occurs will occur. In addition, because the wiring loops of the traditional credit exchange must be returned to the credit exchange, compared with the intelligent credit exchange, the wiring is wasted, and extra manual wiring and cost are required, and when the system has a problem, the line inspection cost of the traditional credit exchange is higher than that of the intelligent credit exchange. For the intelligent credit exchange, the current central control unit can not know the increase or decrease of the sensors from the transmitted signals. For example, if the newly added fire sensor is not reported to the central control unit, when a fire occurs and the newly added fire sensor is triggered, the central control unit cannot know the overall situation, so that the relevant person cannot be dispatched to rescue.

Specific examples of components and arrangements are described below to simplify the present disclosure. These are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, in the following description, forming a first feature over or on a second feature may include embodiments in which the first and second features are in direct contact, as well as embodiments in which additional features are formed between the first and second features such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact. Moreover, the present disclosure may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed.

According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a fire management system. Fig. 2a is a schematic block diagram of a fire management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 2a, the fire management system 1000 includes a credit exchange 200. The credit exchange 200 is electrically connected to at least one device 100. The credit exchange 200 may be connected to the equipment 100 through a physical signal transmission line, and the equipment 100 may include a plurality of sensors, such as a fire sensor 102, a fault sensor 104, a smoke sensor 106, and a power failure sensor 108. The credit exchange 200 receives the device signal from the device 100 through a physical signal transmission line.

The fire management system 1000 further includes a conversion module 300 electrically connected to the central office 200, and the conversion module 300 is connected to the central office 200 through a physical signal transmission line. The conversion module 300 is used for converting the device signal received from the signal transmission line into a digital signal form. The fire management system 1000 further includes a management unit 400 electrically connected to the conversion module 300. The management unit 400 is communicatively connected to the conversion module 300, and the management unit 400 receives the device signal of the digital signal from the conversion module 300.

In the above technical solution of the present invention, the conversion module 300 is arranged to convert the device signal transmitted through the physical signal transmission line into a digital signal, so that the signal of the fire control management and control unit associated with the device can be uploaded to the management and control unit 400 through the network, thereby achieving the idea of realizing a digital-like intelligent central exchange by the conventional central exchange and achieving the purpose of centralized management.

For the connection between the device 100 and the credit exchange 200, at least two sensor signals of the plurality of sensors of the device 100 are independently connected to the credit exchange 200. Thus, when any of at least two sensor signals (fire and fault signals) triggers the alarm 230, the central office 200 may determine the sensor corresponding to the sensor signal that triggered the alarm 230. Therefore, the rescue personnel can more accurately and quickly judge the type of the sensor triggering the alarm according to the sensor signal so as to accelerate the rescue speed.

In one example, the fire alarm signal from the fire alarm sensor 102 and the fault signal from the fault sensor 104 are independently and separately connected to the credit exchange 200. In such an example, when one of the fire alarm signal or the fault signal triggers the alarm 230, the central office 200 may determine that the alarm 230 is the fire alarm triggered by the fire sensor 102 or the fault alarm triggered by the fault sensor 104, so that the corresponding rescue measures can be performed quickly and accurately.

It should be understood that the sensor types and corresponding sensor signal types described above are exemplary only. The sensor type and the sensor signal type may be any other type according to the actual application needs.

Fig. 2b is a schematic block diagram of a specific manner of the fire management system of fig. 2 a. Referring to fig. 2b, the conversion module 300 is used for converting the device signal received from the physical signal transmission line into a digital signal. The conversion module 300 transmits the device signal converted into the digital signal to the management unit 400. The conversion module 300 may specifically include a reporter board 310. The repeater board 310 may be connected to the credit exchange 200 through a physical signal transmission line.

The conversion module 300 further includes a communication host 330, and the communication host 330 is used for transmitting the device signal in the form of a digital signal from the logic module 320 to the management unit 400. The device signal in the form of a digital signal may be uploaded to the management unit 400 via a network. The logic module 320 may be a PLC (programmable logic controller) according to an embodiment of the present invention. The correspondent host 330 may be a Kepware host, which may be used to enable communication between the PLC and the policing unit 400.

Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a fire management system according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 3, the fire management system 2000 includes a credit exchange 200, and the credit exchange 200 receives the equipment signal from the equipment 100. The apparatus 100 may include a plurality of sensors, such as a fire sensor 102, a fault sensor 104, a smoke sensor 106, and a power outage sensor 108.

The fire management system 2000 further includes a network module 360 electrically connected to the credit exchange 200, and a communication host 330 electrically connected to the network module 360. The communication host 330 scans and acquires the device signals of the devices 100 through the network module 360. The fire management system 2000 further includes a management unit 400, and the management unit 400 can detect the addition or removal of the scanned device compared to the original on-line device through the device signal scanned by the communication host 330. The management unit 400 can obtain the status of device addition or deletion and the execution status of each device from the device signals transmitted by the network module 360.

In some embodiments, the correspondent host 330 is a Kepware host. In some embodiments, the network module 360 includes a MODBUS communication card 362, and the MODBUS communication card 362 is connected to the credit exchange 200. The network module 360 further includes a network module card 364, and the network module card 364 is connected to the MODBUS communication card 362 and the communication host 330.

The fire management system 2000 may also include a database 380, and the database 380 may be, for example, an MSSQL database. The communication host 330 may transmit the scanned device signals to the database 380, so as to obtain the device signals from the database 380 through the web page.

In application, Firewall (Firewall Rule) setting, such as NAT (Network Address Translation) setting, may be performed first, so that the Kepeware OPC can pass through, for example, the OA Network segment (502 port) and the Network module card 364 (for example, through the fixed IP 10.16.148.225). The Kepeware OPC client is written so that the Kepeware host can forward the device signals in the field to the database 380 at regular times (e.g., every minute). The device signal may then be read from the database 380 via a web page.

Fig. 4 shows a correspondence table of device numbers and MODBUS addresses. Referring to fig. 4, in order to obtain the device signal, each device may have a corresponding device number (e.g., Address in table 1), may find a corresponding MODBUS Address, e.g., Start Address to End Address in table 1, through the device number of the device, and may obtain the device signal from the corresponding MODBUS Address.

Each device signal may include a plurality of first flag bits for determining whether a device is removed and second flag bits for respectively indicating a plurality of different device states of the corresponding device. In the example of the device signal shown in FIG. 5, the device signal consists of 16 bits, where bits 0 through 7 are the first flag bits used to determine whether the device is removed. Bits 0 through 7 have corresponding ST (set) values, e.g., when bits 0 through 7 are all 1, the ST value is 255, indicating that the device is removed.

Bits 8-15 of the device signal are second flag bits indicating the device status. In one example, bit 9 indicates Disable (Disable), bit 10 indicates Enable (Enable), bit 11 indicates Active (Active), bit 12 indicates Active (Inactive), and bit 13 indicates fault (Trouble).

Referring to fig. 6a, a first device of the first loop, i.e., a sensor Detector L1D1, is illustrated. Each Address (Address) has a corresponding Tag Name (Tag Name) and Description (Description). Information such as device name, floor, system identification, etc. may be substituted into the Tag (Tag). For example, address 40001.10 corresponds to a tag name of K23_ B2F _ BMS _ ALM _ Detector _ L1D1_ ENB, which states that K23B 2F fire protection system alarm sensor L1D1 is enabled. Referring to FIG. 6b, the device status may be determined according to the obtained data Value, for example, according to the item ID (item ID) with the data Value (Value) of 1, the device status may be detected (IACT) and Enabled (ENB).

In some embodiments, the Kepware empty point totals may be established as corresponding tags. When building a site, information such as the device name, floor, system type, etc. may be substituted into the Tag (Tag). The JOB program is written so that the Kepware host can fix the device signals of all the dots scanned daily to confirm the device addition or removal status.

In some embodiments, the management unit may determine the addition or removal status of the device by comparing the scanned device signal with a Mapping (Mapping) table of the original on-line device.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the device list scanned on the current day is compared with the online device mapping table, and if the device list scanned on the current day is not matched with the online device mapping table, a device transaction is detected (S702). It is then determined whether there is a device removal (S704). If the setting value of 255 occurs from bit 0 to bit 7, it means that there is a device removed.

If it is determined that no device is removed (S704). If the scanned list of devices is compared with the on-line device mapping table, and the new device is found, it is determined at S706 whether the new device is displayed for a certain period of time (e.g., three days) (the new device signal that can be scanned in two days may be only the device that has been set by the on-line host but is not installed in the field, or the device that is still under test).

If it is determined at S704 that the device is removed or it is determined at S706 that the newly added device is detected for three consecutive days, the service person in charge of the management and control unit may ask the relevant fire person to issue a response sheet (S708), which is why the fire person responds to the removal of the device (S710). The mapping table of the device online device may be updated by the service responsible person (S712), confirmed by the fire responsible person (S714), and then a single contingency may be replied to (S716). Therefore, the new and removed states of the equipment can be detected by increasing the scanning of all the equipment every day and using the setting values of the bits 0 to 7 of the equipment signals, thereby realizing the management of all the states of the equipment in a centralized management mode.

The fire-fighting equipment management system provided by the invention is improved aiming at the traditional credit exchange and the intelligent credit exchange, so that the control unit can immediately know the fire-fighting management condition of each equipment, the traditional distributed management mode is changed into the centralized management mode of the control unit, and the advantages of real-time detection, automatic notification and systematic management of faults, fire events and equipment addition or removal can be achieved.
