JP-A-11-203579

In the crime prevention system (see FIG. 7) described in Patent Document 1 above, the lighting fixture 2Y used for crime prevention is connected to the power line (power source) 1 via the internal device 10Y (part of the crime prevention system). Therefore, there are the following disadvantages. That is,
i) The lighting fixture 2Y used exclusively for crime prevention must be prepared separately from the lighting fixture normally used (reference numeral 2 in FIG. 7).
ii) Since it is generally difficult to prepare a large number of such lighting fixtures 2Y in terms of cost and installation space, it is not possible to expect an effect that strongly surprises or threatens a suspicious person who has approached or invaded.
iii) For the lighting fixture 2Y that is not normally used (usually it cannot be used because the internal device 10Y is off), it tends to be turned off or unplugged from the internal device 10Y. However, in such a case, even if the external device 10X and the internal device 10Y are operated, the lighting fixture 2Y is not turned on, and the security function may not be exhibited.

  The claimed invention eliminates the need for a lighting device used exclusively for crime prevention as described above, and when a suspicious person's approach or intrusion is detected, the lighting device used in normal times is turned on effectively. It provides a crime prevention system that can prevent crimes.

The crime prevention system of the invention described in the claim
・ A lighting fixture connected to the power line is installed in the house (including both residences and sales offices) or in the vicinity of the house.
・ Upon receiving a human sensor signal from the human sensor, when the lighting fixture is turned off, the lighting fixture is turned on or blinking, or when the lighting fixture is turned on (the lighting fixture). A controller for flashing is provided by connecting to a power line in parallel with the lighting fixture. The human sensor includes various means for detecting the presence of a person and generating a signal (human signal).

  According to this security system, when a person approaches or enters a house or living room, a human sensor detects the fact and sends a human signal, and the controller receives the human signal, The lighting fixtures near the house are turned on or blinked, so that crimes by the intruder or the like can be prevented. For example, when a suspicious person enters a house that is away and the lighting equipment is turned off, the lighting equipment is turned on or blinking by the action of the human sensor and the controller, and the intruder is threatened and dissipated. In addition, for example, when a suspicious person enters another room while the resident is in a specific room by turning on the luminaire, the lighting sensor such as the room where the resident is located is moved by the action of the human sensor and the controller. Inform the resident of the presence of an intruder, for example by flashing.

Although the above lighting fixtures can be used for crime prevention purposes as described above, they are connected in parallel with the controller to the power line, and are generally used as lighting fixtures when there are no intruders, etc. Is possible. In other words, when the human sensor is not activated, the lighting apparatus can be turned on / off via the hand switch or the like by the power received directly from the power line without receiving an operation by the controller. Such a feature is greatly different from the case where the lighting fixture (2Y) is connected to the power line (1) with the controller (internal device 10Y) interposed therebetween as in the system of FIG.
Because of these characteristics, the invention of this claim does not include: i) it is not necessary to prepare a luminaire used exclusively for crime prevention; ii) a home that emits sufficient light for normal living Lighting and lighting equipment (ceiling lighting, etc.) placed indoors is turned on and blinking, so that intruders can be strongly surprised and intimidated, and the effect of dissipating the person can be easily obtained. Iii) General lighting equipment Since the function for detecting a suspicious person can be secured while allowing normal use, there is an advantage that it is easy to use and does not cause malfunction due to a setting error.

In the crime prevention system of the invention,
-While the above lighting fixtures have normal operation switches to turn on and off during normal times,
・ Operates in response to a human sensor signal, turns on or flashes the lighting fixture (the lighting fixture), or turns on or flashes the lighting fixture (the lighting fixture) It is preferable to provide a specific operation switch for flashing) on the controller.

In such a crime prevention system, the lighting device is used in the usual way with the normal operation switch as usual, and when the motion sensor detects an intruder etc. and sends a motion signal, a specific operation in the controller A switch lights or flashes the luminaire. There is an advantage that lighting of a lighting fixture by a controller at the time of intrusion detection can be realized by a simple and inexpensive switch configuration while enabling general use of the lighting fixture.
For example, the normal operation switch and the specific operation switch may be connected in parallel to the power line as shown in FIG. In that case, if the singular operation switch is turned off, the luminaire can be turned on and off freely with the normal operation switch, and when the luminaire is turned off with the normal operation switch, the singular operation in the controller The lighting fixture can be turned on by turning the switch on and off. In addition to the relationship shown in FIG. 2, the normal operation switch and the specific operation switch may be connected in a so-called three-way switch configuration.

In the crime prevention system of the above invention,
・ In addition to providing the above lighting fixtures for each area of the house (for example, each room and entrance), the presence sensor is also for each area of the house (same as above, but not necessarily the same as the area where the lighting equipment is provided). It is good to arrange | position and make a controller light or blink the lighting fixture of the defined area according to the human sensitive sensor which emitted the human sensitive signal.
For example, if a lighting fixture is turned on in an area where a human sensor that emits a human presence signal is placed, the lighting fixture will be turned on in an area where an intruder is present, and lighted in accordance with the movement of the person. This means that the threatening effect against intruders is high. In addition, when any human sensor generates a human signal, for example, if the lighting device in the bedroom is turned on or blinked, the effect of alarming and alerting the resident is enhanced.

  The crime prevention system of the invention is provided with a sound generator (bell, buzzer, etc.) in or near the house, and the controller also operates the sound generator in response to a human signal generated by a human sensor. More preferably. This is because a sound generator such as a bell can extremely intimidate an intruder or the like, and also has an effect of issuing a warning to neighboring residents and the like, thereby further improving the crime prevention effect.

In particular, it is more preferable that the above-described controller is a system that receives a human signal generated by the human sensor, first turns on or blinks the lighting fixture, and operates the sound generator after a certain period of time.
When the sound generator emits a loud sound, although it is preferable from the viewpoint of crime prevention, it may cause annoyance in the vicinity if it overlaps, and it may also cause a panic in places where there are many children such as elementary schools. However, such inconvenience can be appropriately avoided if the lighting apparatus is first turned on as described above and the sound generator is operated after a while. For example, if a voice alarm is not required, such as when a human sensor detects a dog or cat, etc., and the illuminator is turned on, the resident should take measures to prevent the sound generator from operating. In addition to avoiding inconvenience, teachers etc. can explain the situation to the children and guide them gently when the lighting fixtures blink in elementary schools.

The lighting or lighting of the luminaire by the controller is advantageously performed by wireless means (ie wirelessly).
The crime prevention system of the invention can be configured by using an existing lighting device arranged in a house or the like. However, if the lighting of the lighting fixture by the controller is performed wirelessly in this way, wiring (electric wires, etc.) between the controller and the lighting fixture becomes unnecessary, and the crime prevention system of the invention is configured using the existing lighting fixture. Is particularly easy. Therefore, it is possible to provide a crime prevention system at a low cost within a short period of time by an extremely simple construction even in a built house.

  According to the crime prevention system of the invention, when there is an intruder or the like, the crime can be prevented in advance by turning on or blinking a normal lighting device that is usually used. Because such lighting fixtures can be used as usual for crime prevention purposes, i) it is not necessary to prepare lighting fixtures exclusively for crime prevention, and ii) the number of lighting fixtures to be turned on Since it is very bright in terms of capacity, it has the advantage of being effective in dissipating intruders and the like, and iii) it is easy to use the lighting equipment and does not cause malfunction.

  In addition to the normal operation switch, if the illuminating device is turned on or blinked by providing a specific operation switch in the controller, a crime prevention system can be configured easily and at low cost.

  If lighting fixtures and motion sensors are placed in each area of the house and specific lighting fixtures are turned on according to the motion sensors that have been activated, threatening effects to intruders and warning effects to residents can be achieved. Higher is preferable.

If a sound generator is provided in a house or the like so that the sound generator is also operated when a human presence signal is transmitted, the threatening effect for intruders and the warning effect for residents is further enhanced.
In that case, if the lighting apparatus is turned on first and the sound generator is operated after a certain period of time, it is possible to appropriately avoid inconvenience to the neighborhood and panic such as children.

  If lighting of lighting equipment by the controller is performed wirelessly, it is particularly easy to configure the crime prevention system of the invention using existing lighting equipment.

  An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the entire crime prevention system S together with a house H, FIG. 2 is a connection diagram showing the connection between the lighting fixture 2 and the controller 10, and FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram relating to the switchboard 10 a including the controller 10. (Development connection diagram).

  In the house H, as shown in FIG. 1, the lighting fixtures 2 </ b> A and 2 </ b> B such as fluorescent lamps are arranged on the ceilings of the first and second floors as in a general house, and are connected to the power line 1. There is also a lighting fixture 2 </ b> C at the entrance and connected to the electric wire 1. The respective lighting fixtures 2A and 2B can be turned on and off by operating the normal operation switches 3A and 3B provided on the walls of the living rooms in the same general manner as in a general house. The lighting fixture 2C can also be turned on / off in the same manner by the normal operation switch 3C near the entrance.

  In this house H, a crime prevention system S is introduced in order to prevent a suspicious person from invading through a front door or a window or the like and stealing or the like during absence. The introduced system S is configured so as not to change the connection of the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C to the power line 1 or change the operation method thereof, and to the lighting fixtures 2A and 2B. • 2C is used for threatening intruders or those who are about to invade.

  As shown in FIG. 1, as the security system S, first, a switchboard 10 a including a controller 10 is installed in a house H, and the lighting fixtures 2 </ b> A, 2 </ b> B, and 2 </ b> C are connected in parallel to the power line 1. Each living room and the front door are provided with human sensors (such as infrared sensors that detect the presence of people) 4A, 4B, and 4C to detect the intrusion and approach of suspicious persons, and their output lines Is connected to the controller 10. In addition, bells 5A, 5B, and 5C were placed in each room and entrance, and the controller 10 was connected to them.

  As described above, one of the human sensors 4A, 4B, and 4C is activated in the controller 10 while enabling the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C to be turned on and off by a general operation (that is, When a signal is emitted), the lighting devices 2A, 2B, and 2C are turned on all at once, and the bells 5A, 5B, and 5C are appropriately sounded.

  For the purpose of realizing the function, the controller 10 of FIG. 1 incorporates, for example, a specific operation switch 6 shown in FIG. 2, which is connected to each normal operation switch 3 (3A) of the lighting fixture 2 (2A, 2B, 2C). -It is connected to the power line 1 in parallel with 3B and 3C). If the singular operation switch 6 is opened while the crime prevention system S is turned off, such as when there is a resident in the room, the luminaire 2 is turned on and off by a general operation of the normal operation switch 3. be able to. Further, while the normal operation switch 3 of the lighting fixture 2 is turned off and the power supply of the system S is turned on due to absence or the like, the presence sensor 4 (4A, 4B, 4C) If the singular operation switch 6 is closed when activated, the luminaires 2 can be turned on all at once when there is an intruder into the room or an approacher to the entrance. It should be noted that the ringing of the bell 5 (5A, 5B, 5C) at the time of abnormality is performed by a configuration in which the controller 10 closes the contact of the bell 5 according to the signal from the human sensor 4.

In addition, the security system S of FIG. 1 has the following functions.
a) When any of the presence sensors 4A and 4B in the living room is activated, the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C are turned on all at once, and the bells 5A, 5B, and 5C are simultaneously sounded.

b) The bells 5A, 5B, and 5C that have begun to ring in a) above are repeatedly ringed while any of the presence sensors 4A and 4B is activated, and after a certain time (for example, 5 minutes) Stop after). However, even after the stop, the bells 5A, 5B, and 5C ring again when any of the human sensors 4A and 4B is activated.
c) The lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C lit in a) above are turned on after the ringing of the bells 5A, 5B, and 5C is stopped. Its purpose is to inform the resident who has come home of the abnormality and to keep it bright and prevent re-entry.

  d) When the presence sensor 4C outside the entrance is activated, the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C are turned on all at once, but the bells 5A, 5B, and 5C are not sounded. This is because the human sensor 4C may be regarded as a suspicious person and malfunction due to a dog or a cat, thus avoiding annoying neighbors due to a bell sound. When a human sensor is provided not only at the entrance but also at a place where malfunction is likely or a preventive place, the output signal from the human sensor is handled in the same manner.

  The switchboard 10a (controller 10) of the security system S is configured based on the sequence diagram shown in FIG. 3 so that the above functions are realized. When the human sensor 4A (or 4B not shown in FIG. 3) or 4C is activated and a current flows through the coil of the electromagnetic relay R1 or R2, the contact R1 or R2 is closed and the electromagnetic relays X1, X2, and X3 are closed. When the contacts X1, X2, and X3, which are the specific operation switches 6 (FIG. 2), are closed, the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C (FIGS. 1 and 2) are turned on. When the human sensor 4A (or 4B) is operated, the electromagnetic relay X5 is further energized, so that the bell 5 (FIG. 2) until a predetermined time (for example, after 5 minutes as described above) determined by the electromagnetic relay T2 as a timer. The electromagnetic relay Be is energized.

  In FIG. 3, the electromagnetic relays S1 and S2 are for turning on the human sensors 4A and 4C, and the electromagnetic relay T1 is a characteristic of the human sensors 4A and 4C (immediately after starting, it is unstable and easily malfunctions. This is a timer for providing a time lag to compensate for this.

  About the crime prevention system of invention, it is also possible to make the lighting situation of the lighting fixture at the time of abnormality occurrence into a different aspect from what was demonstrated above.

For example, in the above example, when the human sensor 4A or 4B is activated, the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C may be repeatedly blinked (flicker). The blinking is continued until the bells 5A, 5B and 5C are stopped, and after the bell is stopped, the blinking may be stopped and kept in a lighting state.
In order to do so, the controller 10 and the like are configured based on, for example, the sequence diagram of FIG. While the contact X5 is closed within the set time of the timer T2 and the electromagnetic relay Be of the bell 5 is energized (the bells 5A, 5B and 5C ring), the electromagnetic relays X1, X2,. As a result of repeatedly energizing / stopping X3 and the like and repeatedly opening and closing the contacts X1, X2, and X3, the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C blink. After the bell 5 is stopped by the action of the timer T2, the contact point T3 of the timer T3 is kept closed, and the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C are kept in the lighting state.

In addition, if there is a possibility that a suspicious person may enter the other room while students and staff are in the room and the lighting equipment is lit, such as in a school or office, turn on the lit lighting equipment. It is better to make it blink when any human sensor is activated. This is because the lighting fixtures that are lit begin to flash, which is an alarm to teachers and staff, and it is less likely to panic than suddenly the bell rings.
In order to do so, the system of FIG. 4 is further partially modified, and the lighting fixtures 2A, 2B, and 2C are blinked by using the electromagnetic switch MG in the main line portion of the lighting circuit as shown in FIG. Good.

  A circuit may be configured as shown in FIG. 6 in order to appropriately switch between lighting and extinguishing of lighting fixtures and ON / OFF of the security system at a business office or office. In the example of FIG. 6, if the main switch SW-A is operated when a staff member leaves or leaves the office, security by the security system is turned ON / OFF accordingly. For example, when the switch SW-A is turned off at the time of leaving the office, energization to the electromagnetic relay M1 in the lower part of the figure is stopped, and the break contact M1 in the upper part of the figure is closed so that the security can function. That is, if the switch SW-B is provided as a human sensor on the drawer of the desk, etc., when it is closed, the electromagnetic relays R1, R2, M2, contacts M2, etc. act for a certain time determined by the timer T1. The indoor lighting fixtures light up and the bell rings. On the other hand, when the switch SW-A is turned on at the time of leaving the office or the like, the same lighting equipment in the room can be turned on, and the break contact M1 is opened by energization of the electromagnetic relay M1, and the security is stopped. It should be noted that things that are inappropriate to be turned off, such as telephones and refrigerators, should not be disconnected or connected by the switch SW-A.

  By the way, human sensors that can be used in the crime prevention system of the invention include, for example, the following. 1) Human sensor switch, 2) Infrared sensor, 3) Touch sensor switch used for automatic doors, etc. 4) Gravity sensor switch used for automatic doors, etc. 5) For windows and doors, etc. Magnetic sensor switch used, 6) limit switch, 7) manual switch, 8) contact point for external output in commercial security system, 9) proximity sensor switch, 10) vibration sensor switch, 11) ultrasonic sensor switch- -Etc. can be used.
