Description

本発明は、警報器に係り、例えば、火災警報やガス漏れ警報などを行う警報器に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an alarm device, for example, an alarm device that performs a fire alarm, a gas leak alarm, and the like.

近年家庭内でのガス漏れの検出と火災の検出とを行う機能を備えた火災及びガス漏れ複合型警報器(火災・ガス漏れ警報器)の開発が進められている。ところで、このような火災・ガス漏れ警報器においては、火災を検出する火災センサや、ガス漏れを検出するガスセンサの故障が発生することが考えられる。万一このような故障が発生した場合には故障発生の事実を火災・ガス漏れ警報器で報知する必要がある。   In recent years, development of a fire and gas leak combined type alarm device (fire / gas leak alarm device) having a function of detecting a gas leak at home and detecting a fire has been advanced. By the way, in such a fire / gas leak alarm device, it is conceivable that a failure of a fire sensor for detecting a fire or a gas sensor for detecting a gas leak occurs. If such a failure occurs, it is necessary to notify the fact of the failure with a fire / gas leak alarm.

また、上述したセンサ以外にも火災・ガス漏れ警報器に内蔵された例えば警報判定値などが格納されたEEPROMなどの所定の電気部品が故障することも考えられる。この場合も故障発生の事実を火災・ガス漏れ警報器で報知する必要がある。   In addition to the above-described sensor, it is also conceivable that a predetermined electrical component such as an EEPROM that stores an alarm judgment value or the like built in the fire / gas leak alarm is broken. In this case as well, it is necessary to notify the fact of the failure using a fire / gas leak alarm.

しかしながら、単に故障を報知するだけではどの部分に故障が発生しているのか不明であり、ガス事業者が修理にきても、どの部分で故障が発生しているのかがわからず、故障箇所を想定して一つ一つその原因を調査する必要がある。このため、故障現場にガス事業者が来てもすぐにエンドユーザに対して故障の原因を説明することができずエンドユーザが不安にさせていた。   However, it is unclear which part the failure has occurred simply by notifying the failure, and even if the gas company comes to repair, it is not possible to know which part the failure has occurred and It is necessary to investigate the cause one by one. For this reason, even if a gas company came to the failure site, the cause of the failure could not be explained to the end user immediately, and the end user was anxious.

そこで、故障を検出したときその故障箇所を報知する火災・ガス漏れ警報器が特許文献1で提案されている。特許文献1記載の火災・ガス漏れ警報器によれば、例えば、センサ及び電源回路部(電気部品)の故障の種類に対して、電源灯(電源供給時に点灯されるLED)の点滅周期などを変化させて故障箇所を識別可能に報知している。しかしながら、このような故障個所報知では、電源灯の点滅周期などを把握しなければならず、直感的にどの箇所に故障が発生しているかを判断することが難しいという問題があった。   Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes a fire / gas leak alarm device for notifying the failure location when a failure is detected. According to the fire / gas leak alarm described in Patent Document 1, for example, the flashing cycle of a power lamp (LED that is turned on when power is supplied) is determined for the type of failure of the sensor and the power circuit (electrical part). The failure location is reported so as to be identifiable. However, in such failure location notification, there is a problem that it is difficult to intuitively determine the location where the failure has occurred because it is necessary to grasp the blinking cycle of the power lamp.

また特許文献1には、例えば、センサ及び電源回路部(=電気部品)の故障の種類に応じて下記に示すLEDを点滅させて故障個所を識別可能に報知することも記載されている。
(1)火災センサ故障:火災時に点灯される火災表示灯を点滅させる。
(2)ガスセンサ故障:ガス検出時に点滅されるCO又はCH表示灯を点滅させる(ガス検出時の点滅とは異なる点滅表示をする)。
(3)電源回路部故障:電源灯を点滅させる。
Patent Document 1 also describes that, for example, the following LED is blinked in accordance with the type of failure of the sensor and the power supply circuit unit (= electrical component) so that the failure location can be identified.
(1) Fire sensor failure: The fire indicator light that is lit in the event of a fire blinks.
(2) Gas sensor failure: The CO or CH 4 indicator lamp that flashes when a gas is detected flashes (the flashing display differs from the flashing when a gas is detected).
(3) Power supply circuit unit failure: blink the power lamp.

このような故障個所報知によれば、火災センサ故障時には火災表示灯が、ガスセンサ故障時にはCO又はCH表示灯が点滅されるため、直感的にどの箇所に故障が発生しているかを判断することが容易となる。しかしながら、たとえ火災時やガス検出時とは識別可能に火災表示灯、CO又はCH表示灯を点滅させていても、火災表示灯、CO又はCH表示灯が発光しているとエンドユーザは上記故障個所報知を火災やガス漏れの警報であると誤認識してしまう可能性が高い。
特開2002−42268号公報
According to such failure location notification, the fire indicator light flashes when the fire sensor fails, and the CO or CH 4 indicator light blinks when the gas sensor fails, so it is intuitively determined where the failure has occurred. Becomes easy. However, even if the fire indicator light, CO or CH 4 indicator light is blinking so that it can be distinguished from the time of fire or gas detection, the end user will recognize that the fire indicator light, CO or CH 4 indicator light is emitted. There is a high possibility of misrecognizing the failure location notification as a fire or gas leak alarm.

そこで、本発明は、上記のような問題点に着目し、直感的に故障個所が把握でき、しかも故障個所の報知を警報と誤認識することがない警報器を提供することを課題とする。   Accordingly, the present invention focuses on the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide an alarm device that can intuitively grasp a failure location and that does not misrecognize the notification of the failure location as an alarm.

When the operation means is operated when the failure sensor detects the failure of the fire sensor, the fire light emitting element emits light, and when the operation means is operated when the gas sensor failure is detected, the gas light emitting element emits light to notify the failure location. To do. Therefore, when a failure of the gas sensor or the fire sensor is detected, the power-emitting element emits light differently from when the power is supplied, so that the end user recognizes that a failure has occurred. However, since the gas light emitting element or the fire light emitting element is not emitting light at this time, it is not erroneously recognized as an alarm. After that, when the gas company arrives at the site and operates the operating means, the gas light emitting element emits light when a gas sensor failure is detected, and the fire light emitting element emits light when a fire sensor failure is detected.

火災センサ11は例えば熱センサや煙センサであり、必要に応じて適切な種類のものが用いられている。また、ガスセンサ12は例えば半導体ガスセンサでCH(メタン)と水素(H)とCO(一酸化炭素)とを識別可能に検出するものである。 The fire sensor 11 is, for example, a heat sensor or a smoke sensor, and an appropriate type is used as necessary. The gas sensor 12 is a semiconductor gas sensor that detects CH 4 (methane), hydrogen (H 2 ), and CO (carbon monoxide) in a distinguishable manner.

火災・ガス漏れ警報器はまた、当該火災・ガス漏れ警報器への電源供給時に発光される電源ランプ13(=電源発光素子)と、H、CH検出時に発光される都市ガス警報ランプ14(=ガス発光素子)と、CO検出時に発光される不完全燃焼警報ランプ15(=ガス発光素子)と、火災検出時に発光される火災警報ランプ16(=火災発光素子)とを備えている。上述した電源ランプ13は緑色に発光する発光ダイオード(LED)からなり、都市ガス警報ランプ14は赤色に発光するLEDからなり、不完全燃焼警報ランプ15は黄色に発光するLEDからなり、火災警報ランプ16は赤色に発光するLEDからなる。また、これら各ランプ13〜15はμCOM10に接続され、μCOM10によって発光制御が行われる。 The fire / gas leak alarm device also includes a power lamp 13 (= power light emitting element) that emits light when power is supplied to the fire / gas leak alarm device, and a city gas alarm lamp 14 that emits light when H 2 and CH 4 are detected.

火災・ガス漏れ警報器はまた、EEPROM17(=電気部品、記録手段)と、音声確認スイッチ18(=操作手段)と、スピーカ19とを備えている。EEPROM17には、例えばCH、CO、Hの警報点などを格納している。音声確認スイッチ18は、図2に示すように、筐体の底面から引き出された紐18aをひっぱるとオンするスイッチであり、この音声確認スイッチ18のオン操作により、音声メッセージの確認、故障個所の報知などを行うことができる。スピーカ19は警報音、合成音声を出力する。こららEEPROM17、スピーカ18、音声確認スイッチ19はμCOM10に接続されている。 The fire / gas leak alarm device also includes an EEPROM 17 (= electrical parts, recording means), a voice confirmation switch 18 (= operating means), and a speaker 19. The EEPROM 17 stores, for example, CH 4 , CO, and H 2 alarm points. As shown in FIG. 2, the voice confirmation switch 18 is a switch that is turned on when the string 18a pulled out from the bottom surface of the casing is pulled. By turning on the voice confirmation switch 18, the voice confirmation switch 18 Notification and the like can be performed. The speaker 19 outputs an alarm sound and synthesized sound. These EEPROM 17, speaker 18, and voice confirmation switch 19 are connected to μCOM 10.

上述したμCOM10は、プログラムに従って各種の処理を行う中央処理ユニット(CPU)10aと、CPU10aが行う処理プログラムなどに格納されたROM10bと、CPU10aでの各種の処理過程で使用するワークエリア、各種データを格納するデータ格納エリアなどを有する読み出し書き込み自在のメモリであるROM10cとを有する。   The above-described μCOM 10 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 10a that performs various processes according to a program, a ROM 10b that is stored in a processing program performed by the CPU 10a, a work area that is used in various processes in the CPU 10a, and various data. And a ROM 10c which is a readable / writable memory having a data storage area for storing the data.

上述した構成の火災・ガス漏れ警報器の動作について以下説明する。まず、図示しない電源スイッチがオンされ、火災・ガス漏れ警報器に電源が供給されるとCPU10aは、電源ランプ13を点灯させる。CPU10aは電源が供給されている間、常時電源ランプ13を点灯させて、電源が供給されている旨を報知する。   The operation of the fire / gas leak alarm having the above-described configuration will be described below. First, when a power switch (not shown) is turned on and power is supplied to the fire / gas leak alarm, the CPU 10a turns on the power lamp 13. While the power is being supplied, the CPU 10a constantly lights the power lamp 13 to notify that the power is being supplied.

また、電源供給に応じてCPU10aは、ガスセンサ12を用いて、CH、CO、Hのガス濃度の検出を行う。CPU10aは、検出されたCH、H濃度がEEPROM17に格納された警報点を超えたとき、ガス漏れが発生していると判断して、都市ガス警報ランプ14及びスピーカ19を用いて都市ガス警報を行う。都市ガス警報は2段階で行われ、1段目(低濃度時)は都市ガス警報ランプ14を周期0.54秒で低速点滅させる。2段目(高濃度)は都市ガスランプ14を常時点灯させると共に、0.54秒に1回0.018秒のフラッシュ点灯(通常の10倍の電流を流して高輝度に光らせる)を行う。さらに、スピーカ19を使って音声/ブザーによる複式警報を行う。 In response to the power supply, the CPU 10a uses the gas sensor 12 to detect the gas concentrations of CH 4 , CO, and H 2 . When the detected CH 4 and H 2 concentrations exceed the alarm point stored in the EEPROM 17, the CPU 10 a determines that a gas leak has occurred and uses the city gas alarm lamp 14 and the speaker 19 to generate city gas. Perform an alarm. The city gas alarm is performed in two stages, and the first stage (when the concentration is low) causes the city gas alarm lamp 14 to blink slowly at a cycle of 0.54 seconds. In the second stage (high concentration), the city gas lamp 14 is always lit and flash lighting is performed once every 0.54 seconds for 0.018 seconds (10 times the current is applied to light up with high brightness). Further, a double alarm using a sound / buzzer is performed using the speaker 19.

また、CPU10aは、検出されたCO濃度がEEPROM17に格納された警報点を超えたとき、不完全燃焼が発生していると判断して、不完全燃焼警報ランプ15及びスピーカ19を用いて不完全燃焼警報を行う。不完全燃焼警報も2段階で行われ、1段目(低濃度時)は不完全燃焼警報ランプ15を周期0.54秒で低速点滅させる。2段目(高濃度時)は不完全燃焼警報ランプ15を常時点灯させると共に、0.54秒に1回0.018秒のフラッシュ点灯を行う。さらに、スピーカ19を使って音声/ブザーによる複式警報を行う。なお、COは低濃度であっても長時間暴露されていると危険なため、CO濃度が1段警報点を超えた状態が13分以上継続した場合、警報は2段目に移る。   Further, when the detected CO concentration exceeds the alarm point stored in the EEPROM 17, the CPU 10a determines that incomplete combustion has occurred and uses the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 and the speaker 19 to perform incomplete. Perform a combustion alarm. The incomplete combustion alarm is also performed in two stages, and the first stage (when the concentration is low) causes the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 to blink slowly at a cycle of 0.54 seconds. In the second stage (during high concentration), the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 is always turned on and the flash is turned on once every 0.54 seconds for 0.018 seconds. Further, a double alarm using a sound / buzzer is performed using the speaker 19. Note that even if the CO concentration is low, it is dangerous to be exposed for a long time, so if the state where the CO concentration exceeds the first alarm point continues for 13 minutes or more, the alarm moves to the second alarm.

また、CPU10aは、火災センサが検出した周囲温度や煙量が警報点を超えたとき、火災が発生していると判断して、火災警報ランプ16及びスピーカ19を用いて火災警報を行う。火災警報は火災警報ランプ16を常時点灯させると共に、0.54秒に1回0.018秒のフラッシュ点灯を行う。さらに、スピーカ19を使って音声/ブザーによる複式警報を行う。   The CPU 10a determines that a fire has occurred when the ambient temperature or the amount of smoke detected by the fire sensor exceeds the alarm point, and issues a fire alarm using the fire alarm lamp 16 and the speaker 19. In the fire alarm, the fire alarm lamp 16 is always turned on and the flash is turned on once every 0.54 seconds for 0.018 seconds. Further, a double alarm using a sound / buzzer is performed using the speaker 19.

また、CPU10aは、第1故障検出手段として働きガスセンサ12の出力の監視を行うことによって、ガスセンサ12の故障が発生しているか否かの判断をする。また、CPU10aは、第2故障検出手段として働き、火災センサ11の出力の監視や、EEPROM17にアクセスすることによって、火災センサ11、EEPROM17の故障が発生しているか否かを判断する。故障判断としては従来公知の方法などなんでもよい。上述した故障判断により火災センサ11、ガスセンサ12、EEPROM17の故障を検出すると、CPU10aは、故障の旨を報知する故障報知処理を開始する。   Further, the CPU 10a functions as first failure detection means and monitors the output of the gas sensor 12 to determine whether or not a failure of the gas sensor 12 has occurred. Further, the CPU 10a functions as second failure detection means, and determines whether or not a failure has occurred in the fire sensor 11 or the EEPROM 17 by monitoring the output of the fire sensor 11 or accessing the EEPROM 17. Any known method may be used for determining the failure. When the failure determination of the fire sensor 11, the gas sensor 12, and the EEPROM 17 is detected by the failure determination described above, the CPU 10a starts a failure notification process for notifying the failure.

上述した故障報知処理におけるCPU10aの処理手順について、図3を参照して以下説明する。まず、CPU10aは、故障報知手段として働き、電源ランプ13を常時点灯状態から高速点滅状態(周期0.18秒)にする(ステップS1)。エンドユーザは、電源ランプ13の常時点灯状態から高速点滅状態への遷移により、火災・ガス漏れ警報器の故障が発生したことを認識して、ガス事業者に連絡を行う。   A processing procedure of the CPU 10a in the failure notification process described above will be described below with reference to FIG. First, the CPU 10a functions as a failure notification unit, and changes the power lamp 13 from a constantly lit state to a high-speed blinking state (period 0.18 seconds) (step S1). The end user recognizes that a failure of the fire / gas leak alarm has occurred due to the transition from the constantly lit state of the power lamp 13 to the fast flashing state, and contacts the gas company.

その後、ガス事業者が現場に到着して紐18aを引っ張って音声確認スイッチ18をオンすると(ステップS2でY)、CPU10aは、火災センサ11の故障を検出した場合には(ステップS3でY)、火災警報ランプ16を高速点滅(周期0.18秒)させて(ステップS5)、故障個所が火災センサ11である旨を報知した後、故障報知処理を終了する。一方、ガスセンサ12の故障を検出した場合には(ステップS4でY)、都市ガス警報ランプ14及び不完全燃焼警報ランプ15を同時に高速点滅させて(ステップS6)、故障箇所がガスセンサ12である旨を報知した後、故障報知処理を終了する。   Thereafter, when the gas company arrives at the site and pulls the string 18a to turn on the voice confirmation switch 18 (Y in step S2), the CPU 10a detects a failure of the fire sensor 11 (Y in step S3). Then, the fire alarm lamp 16 is flashed at a high speed (cycle: 0.18 seconds) (step S5) to notify that the failure location is the fire sensor 11, and then the failure notification process is terminated. On the other hand, when a failure of the gas sensor 12 is detected (Y in step S4), the city gas alarm lamp 14 and the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 are simultaneously blinked at high speed (step S6), and the failure location is the gas sensor 12. Is notified, and the failure notification process is terminated.

また、EEPROM17の故障を検出した場合には(ステップS4でN)、直ちに故障報知処理を終了し、電源ランプ13のみの点滅を継続させる。   If a failure is detected in the EEPROM 17 (N in step S4), the failure notification process is immediately terminated and only the power lamp 13 continues to blink.

上述した火災・ガス漏れ警報装置によれば、火災センサ11、ガスセンサ12又はEEPROM17の故障が検出されると、電源ランプ13を常時点灯状態から高速点滅状態にして電源供給時とは異なるように発光させるため、エンドユーザが故障発生を認識することができる。ただし、この時点では都市ガス警報ランプ14、不完全燃焼警報ランプ15及び火災警報ランプ16は発光されていないため、エンドユーザは故障報知を警報と誤認識することはない。   According to the above-described fire / gas leak alarm device, when a failure of the fire sensor 11, the gas sensor 12, or the EEPROM 17 is detected, the power lamp 13 is changed from a constantly lit state to a high-speed blinking state so that it emits light differently from power supply. Therefore, the end user can recognize the occurrence of the failure. However, since the city gas alarm lamp 14, the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 and the fire alarm lamp 16 are not lit at this time, the end user does not misrecognize the failure notification as an alarm.

その後、ガス事業者が現場に到着して音声確認スイッチ18をオン操作すると火災センサ11の故障検出時には火災警報ランプ16が、ガスセンサ11の故障検出時には都市ガス警報ランプ14及び不完全燃焼警報ランプ15が、EEPROM17の故障検出時には電源ランプ13が点滅されるため、どの箇所に故障が発生しているかを直感的に把握することができる。従って、直感的に故障個所が把握でき、しかも故障個所の報知を警報と誤認識することがない。   Thereafter, when the gas company arrives at the site and turns on the voice confirmation switch 18, the fire alarm lamp 16 is detected when a failure of the fire sensor 11 is detected, and the city gas alarm lamp 14 and the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 are detected when a failure of the gas sensor 11 is detected. However, when the failure of the EEPROM 17 is detected, the power lamp 13 blinks, so that it is possible to intuitively grasp where the failure has occurred. Therefore, the failure location can be grasped intuitively, and the failure location notification is not erroneously recognized as an alarm.

また上述した火災・ガス漏れ警報器によれば、故障個所を報知するために、各種ランプ13〜16を点滅させてから1分間経過すると、点滅させたランプ13〜16が消灯される。従って、音声確認スイッチ18のオン操作を行ってから都市ガス警報ランプ14、不完全燃焼警報ランプ15、火災警報ランプ16がいつまでも点滅しているという状態を回避し、エンドユーザが操作後の都市ガス警報ランプ14、不完全燃焼警報ランプ15、火災警報ランプ16の点滅を警報と誤認識してしまうことを防止することができる。   Further, according to the above-described fire / gas leak alarm device, the blinking lamps 13 to 16 are extinguished after one minute has passed since the various lamps 13 to 16 are blinked in order to notify the failure location. Therefore, the state where the city gas alarm lamp 14, the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15, and the fire alarm lamp 16 are flashing indefinitely after the voice confirmation switch 18 is turned on is avoided, and the end user operates the city gas after the operation. It is possible to prevent the flashing of the alarm lamp 14, the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15, and the fire alarm lamp 16 from being erroneously recognized as an alarm.

また、ガスセンサ12の故障時に、音声確認スイッチ18のオン操作に応じて、都市ガス警報ランプ14及び不完全燃焼警報ランプ15を同時に点滅させることにより、故障個所がガスセンサ11で或る旨を、一層直感的に把握することができる。   Further, when the gas sensor 12 fails, the city gas alarm lamp 14 and the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 are simultaneously flashed in response to the ON operation of the voice confirmation switch 18, thereby further confirming that the failure location is the gas sensor 11. It can be grasped intuitively.

また、上述した実施形態によれば、火災警報ランプ16や、都市ガスランプ14及び不完全燃焼警報ランプ15、電源ランプ13を高速点滅させて故障箇所を報知した後は、故障報知処理を終了して、高速点滅を継続させていた。しかしながら、特に電池式の警報器の場合、ランプの点滅を継続させると電池残量がゼロとなってしまう恐れがある。また、操作後であっても、火災警報ランプ16や、都市ガスランプ14及び不完全燃焼警報ランプ15が点滅しつづけていると、エンドユーザが警報と誤認識してしまう可能性もある。そこで、音声確認スイッチ18のオン操作してから例えば1分(=所定時間)経過すると、CPU10aは高速点滅させたランプ13〜16を消灯するようにしてもよい。   Further, according to the above-described embodiment, after the fire alarm lamp 16, the city gas lamp 14, the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15, and the power lamp 13 are flashed at high speed and the failure location is notified, the failure notification processing is terminated. The high-speed flashing was continued. However, especially in the case of a battery-type alarm device, if the blinking of the lamp is continued, the remaining battery level may become zero. Further, even after the operation, if the fire alarm lamp 16, the city gas lamp 14, and the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 continue to blink, the end user may erroneously recognize the alarm. Therefore, for example, when one minute (= predetermined time) has elapsed since the voice confirmation switch 18 was turned on, the CPU 10a may turn off the lamps 13 to 16 blinked at high speed.

なお、上述した実施形態としては、電気部品を記録手段であるEEPROMとして説明していた。しかしながら、例えば、電気部品としては、例えば、火災・ガス漏れ警報器に搭載されているものであればなんでもよく、電源供給回路部などであってもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, the electrical component has been described as an EEPROM as a recording unit. However, for example, any electrical component may be used as long as it is mounted on, for example, a fire / gas leak alarm, and may be a power supply circuit unit or the like.

なお、上述した実施形態としては、一つのガスセンサでメタンとCOとを識別可能に検出するガス漏れ警報器に適用していた。しかしながら、例えば、メタン、COとをそれぞれ別々のガスセンサで検出するガス漏れ警報器に適用することも考えられる。この場合、CPU10aは、第1ガス及び第2ガス故障検出手段として働き、メタンセンサ、COセンサ(=第1ガスセンサ、第2ガスセンサ)それぞれに対して故障検出を行い、メタンセンサまたはCOセンサの故障が検出されたとき電源ランプ13を常時点灯状態から高速点灯状態にする。その後、音声認識スイッチ18のオン操作が行われるとメタンセンサの故障が検出された場合には都市ガス警報ランプ14(=第1ガス発光素子)を高速点滅させ、COセンサの故障が検出された場合には不完全燃焼警報ランプ15(=第2ガス発光素子)を高速点滅させて、故障箇所がメタンセンサであるか、それともCOセンサであるかを報知することが考えられる。   In addition, as embodiment mentioned above, it applied to the gas leak alarm which detects methane and CO so that identification is possible with one gas sensor. However, for example, it can be considered that the present invention is applied to a gas leak alarm that detects methane and CO with separate gas sensors. In this case, the CPU 10a functions as first gas and second gas failure detection means, detects failure for each of the methane sensor and the CO sensor (= first gas sensor, second gas sensor), and fails in the methane sensor or CO sensor. Is detected, the power lamp 13 is changed from the constantly lit state to the fast lit state. Then, when the voice recognition switch 18 is turned on, if a failure of the methane sensor is detected, the city gas alarm lamp 14 (= first gas light emitting element) blinks at high speed, and a failure of the CO sensor is detected. In such a case, it is conceivable that the incomplete combustion alarm lamp 15 (= second gas light emitting element) blinks at high speed to notify whether the failure location is a methane sensor or a CO sensor.

また、上述した実施形態としては、火災警報とガス漏れ警報とを行う火災・ガス漏れ警報器に適用した場合について説明していた。しかしながら、例えば、火災警報を行わないガス漏れ警報器に適用することも考えられる。このようなガス漏れ警報器には、単一ガスの検出しか行わないものや、複数種のガス検出を行うが、上述した半導体ガスセンサのように単一のガスセンサで行っているものなど、いずれにしても単一のガスセンサしか内蔵していないものがある。この場合、CPU10aは、ガスセンサ、EEPROMのような電気部品に対して故障検出を行い、ガスセンサまたは電気部品の故障が検出されたとき電源ランプ13を常時点灯状態から高速点灯状態にする。その後、音声認識スイッチ18のオン操作が行われるとガスセンサの故障が検出された場合にはガス検出時に発光されるランプを高速点滅させ、電気部品の故障が検出された場合には電源ランプ13を高速点滅させて、故障箇所がガスセンサ12であるか、それとも電気部品であるかを報知することが考えられる。   Further, as the above-described embodiment, the case where the present invention is applied to a fire / gas leak alarm device that performs a fire alarm and a gas leak alarm has been described. However, for example, it may be applied to a gas leak alarm that does not perform a fire alarm. Such a gas leak alarm device detects only a single gas, or detects a plurality of types of gas, but does not use a single gas sensor such as the semiconductor gas sensor described above. Some have only a single gas sensor. In this case, the CPU 10a detects a failure with respect to an electrical component such as a gas sensor or an EEPROM, and when the failure of the gas sensor or the electrical component is detected, the power lamp 13 is changed from the constantly lit state to the fast lit state. Thereafter, when the voice recognition switch 18 is turned on, if a gas sensor failure is detected, the lamp that emits light at the time of gas detection flashes at high speed. If a failure of an electrical component is detected, the power lamp 13 is turned on. It is conceivable to flash at high speed to notify whether the failure location is the gas sensor 12 or an electrical component.

また、火災警報を行わないガス漏れ警報器には、例えば、メタンやCOをそれぞれ別々のメタンセンサ、COセンサで検出するものなど、2つ以上のガスセンサが内蔵されているものがある。この場合、CPU10aは、音声認識スイッチ18のオン操作が行われるとメタンセンサの故障が検出された場合には都市ガス警報ランプ14を高速点滅させ、COセンサの故障が検出された場合には不完全燃焼警報ランプ15を高速点滅させて、故障箇所がメタンセンサであるか、COセンサであるかを報知するだけで、特に電気部品の故障を報知する機能が搭載していなくてもよい。   In addition, some gas leak alarms that do not perform a fire alarm include one in which two or more gas sensors are incorporated, such as one that detects methane and CO with separate methane sensors and CO sensors, respectively. In this case, when the voice recognition switch 18 is turned on, the CPU 10a blinks the city gas alarm lamp 14 at a high speed when a failure of the methane sensor is detected, and is not activated when a failure of the CO sensor is detected. The complete combustion warning lamp 15 is blinked at high speed and only a notification is made as to whether the failure location is a methane sensor or a CO sensor.
