MÉTODO DE MEDICIÓN Y MAPEO DE CONCENTRACIÓN DE GASES NOCIVOS PARA LA SALUD EN ESPACIOS CONFINADOS METHOD OF MEASUREMENT AND MAPPING OF CONCENTRATION OF HARMFUL GASES FOR HEALTH IN CONFINED SPACES
CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención tiene su campo de aplicación preponderante en practicas y protocolos de seguridad en la Industria de Minería, específicamente donde se realizan actividades en espacios confinados con riesgo a intoxicación por presencia de gases nocivos o explosión por mezclas explosivas de gases en el ambiente. The present invention has its preponderant field of application in safety practices and protocols in the Mining Industry, specifically where activities are carried out in confined spaces with risk of poisoning due to the presence of harmful gases or explosion by explosive mixtures of gases in the environment.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Una de las preocupaciones más grandes para la industria de Minería es garantizar la integridad sus trabajadores, sin embargo, las difíciles condiciones de seguridad industrial dentro del sector minero se ven reflejadas en los altos índices de accidentalidad y riesgos que afectan directamente a los trabajadores, debido en gran parte a la situación inestable y cambiante que se presentan dentro de las minas, especialmente subterráneas. Dichos ambientes se convierten en lugares propicios para formación de atmósferas explosivas como un detonante invisible y silencioso para el cual existen limitados mecanismos de detección. Para tratar con el riesgo tóxico y peligro de explosión son útiles los sistemas de detección de gases. En algunas minas es usual detectar gases explosivos de forma manual, en donde el operador es el encargado de recorrer la mina y alertar de los niveles de estos gases; sin embargo, estos métodos tradicionales de medición otorgan una barrera para el análisis de ocurrencia de riesgos de accidentes como contaminación, envenenamiento, sofocamientos o explosiones por concentraciones excesivas de estos gases. Los esfuerzos tecnológicos se centran en la búsqueda de soluciones autónomas para el sensado y alerta de distintos tipos de gases, una visión interesante es el manejo de información por red de sensores inalámbrico como lo revela la presente invención en su descripción. One of the biggest concerns for the mining industry is to guarantee the integrity of its workers, however, the difficult industrial security conditions within the mining sector are reflected in the high accident rates and risks that directly affect the workers, due largely to the unstable and changing situation that occur within the mines, especially underground. These environments become favorable places for the formation of explosive atmospheres as an invisible and silent trigger for which there are limited detection mechanisms. Gas detection systems are useful for dealing with toxic risk and explosion hazard. In some mines it is usual to detect explosive gases manually, where the operator is in charge of touring the mine and alerting the levels of these gases; However, these traditional measurement methods provide a barrier for the analysis of the occurrence of risks of accidents such as pollution, poisoning, suffocation or explosions due to excessive concentrations of these gases. The technological efforts are focused on the search for autonomous solutions for the sensing and warning of different types of gases, an interesting vision is the management of information by wireless sensor network as revealed by the present invention in its description.
A continuación, se presenta una breve descripción de patentes actuales en relación al tema, con el fin de resaltar la actividad inventiva de la presente invención. La patente No. US20150163652 reclama un sistema y método de monitoreo de gases en minería, conformado por una red inalámbrica de comunicación de voz y datos bidireccional, una pluralidad de nodos que suministran la información para el monitoreo de gases, e incluye la recopilación de los datos emitidos por los nodos para monitorear el porcentaje de gas en el ambiente con el que, si el gas sobre pasa un umbral preestablecido, se genera una alarma visual y audible. Similarmente la patente China No. 102228319 describe un casco inteligente conformado por una lámpara, multi-sensores, una cámara y un módulo de procesamiento de datos. De manera que el casco detecta concentraciones de gases tóxicos, concentración de polvo, temperatura, humedad y las señales de video en un entorno subterráneo en tiempo real, y los datos procesados son enviados a una subestación de comunicación subterránea por el módulo de comunicación inalámbrico. The following is a brief description of current patents in relation to the subject, in order to highlight the inventive activity of this invention. Patent No. US20150163652 claims a mining gas monitoring system and method, consisting of a wireless network for two-way voice and data communication, a plurality of nodes that provide the information for gas monitoring, and includes the collection of data emitted by the nodes to monitor the percentage of gas in the environment with which, if the gas exceeds a preset threshold, a visual and audible alarm is generated. Similarly, Chinese Patent No. 102228319 describes an intelligent helmet consisting of a lamp, multi-sensors, a camera and a data processing module. So the helmet detects toxic gas concentrations, dust concentration, temperature, humidity and video signals in an underground environment in real time, and the processed data is sent to an underground communication substation by the wireless communication module.
