In view of the high frequency of the fire happened in city housing, and the situation that it is difficult for people to run out from fire due to the outdatedness of low-rise escape system, low-rise escape system was designed for low-rise resident to escape from fire. Based on the load, the transmission time, temperature, etc, the design of this escape system was accomplished. The main components, layouts and working principles of the system are introduced. Then the fixation plate, the circular guide, the main rivet, etc. are selected or designed based on the knowledge of , structural mechanics and material mechanics and so on. Performance test showed that the load range of the low-rise escape system is about 120-150 kilograms per side, the overall capacity is 300-350 kg, escape speed is about 30 seconds per person, it is resistant to high temperature and tear, and all the parameters meet the expected goals.
