  A battery 42, a tank 44 and a pump 46 are provided in the main body 12. In the tank 44, fire extinguishing water such as tap water or a fire extinguishing agent such as 0.5% ammonium phosphate aqueous solution is placed as a fire extinguishing agent.

  The amount of fire-extinguishing water in the tank 44 can be confirmed from the viewing window 15 on the side surface of the main body 12 as shown in FIG. A tube 47 is connected from the tank 44 to the suction side of the pump 46, and a tube 48 is connected from the discharge side of the pump 46 to the base portion of the nozzle 22 provided on the cover 14.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a setting state of a warning area according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 3, the arson fire prevention device 10 of the present embodiment has a height that is not reachable by humans, for example, on a wall 11 such as a house entrance or a stair landing known as a place that is statistically easy to argue. Installed in position.

  The human body monitoring area 52 of the human sensor 16, the water discharge area 54 by the nozzle 22, and the lamp 20 and the fire discharge sensor with respect to the hypothetical warning area virtual plane 50 viewed from the arson fire prevention device 10 in the installed state with respect to the wall surface 11 18 (see FIG. 1), the lighting / fire monitoring area 56 is set.

  4 is a plan view of the human body monitoring area 52, the water discharge area 54, and the lighting / fire monitoring area 56 on the virtual area 50 of the warning area in FIG. 3, and AA corresponds to the cross section in FIG.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the human body monitoring area 52 by the human sensor 16 is formed so as to secure a radius of at least 1 meter from the monitoring center, for example. Note that although FIG. 4 shows a wide elliptical region, it may be circular.

  A water discharge area 54 is set inside the human body monitoring area 52, and a lighting / fire monitoring area 56 is set inside the water discharge area 54. That is, the human body monitoring area 52 is the widest, the water discharge area 54 is set inside thereof, and the lighting / fire monitoring area 56 is set inside thereof, and the lighting / fire monitoring area 56 is always the same as the water discharging area 54, or To be included in it.

  Of course, each area in FIG. 4 can be set so that all the areas are the same area. However, since the illumination patterns of the sensors and the lamps are different in reality, the human body monitoring area 52 is the most. It is desirable that the water discharge area 54 be set in the wide area, and the lighting / fire monitoring area 56 be set in the water discharge area 54 and adjusted.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration and functional configuration of this embodiment. In FIG. 5, the arson fire prevention apparatus 10 includes an MPU 60 as a control unit, and realizes the functions of a human body detection unit 68, an arson monitoring unit 70, an illumination control unit 72, and a water discharge control unit 74 as functions by executing a program. For the MPU 60, a human sensor 16, an arson sensor 18, a light 20, and an LED lamp 28 are provided.

  Further, for the MPU 60, a power supply unit 62, a transfer terminal 64, a nonvolatile memory 65, and a test switch 66 are provided. In the present embodiment, the battery 42 is used as the power supply unit 62 as shown in FIG. 2, but power supply by commercial AC 100 V may be used in addition to the battery.

  The nonvolatile memory 65 stores various parameters necessary for controlling the arson fire prevention device and history information such as human body detection information and arson detection information detected during use in a nonvolatile manner as log information.

  The human body detection unit 68 provided in the MPU 60 reads the human body detection signal from the human sensor 16 by AD conversion with a predetermined sampling period, detects the human body when the human body detection signal rises to the human body detection level, and detects the human body detection signal. Is output to the arson monitoring unit 70, and the arson monitoring mode by the arson sensor is turned on.

  At the same time, the lighting control unit 72 is controlled to turn on the light 20, and the lighting / fire monitoring area 56 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is illuminated with light from the light 20, whereby the arson fire prevention device 10 detects an intruder. It makes it possible to know what was detected.

  The arson monitoring unit 70 turns on the arson monitoring mode for a predetermined time T1 when the human body detection result is obtained from the human body detection unit 68, and the human body detection is obtained again before the time T1 elapses. If so, a retrigger function is provided to turn on the arson monitoring mode again for the time T1 starting from that point.

  When the fire discharge monitoring unit 70 determines that the fire discharge detection signal is obtained from the fire discharge sensor 18 in the state in which the fire discharge monitoring mode is on, the water discharge control unit 74 starts the pump 46 and supplies the fire extinguishing water in the tank 44. Pressure is supplied to the nozzle 22, and water is discharged from the nozzle 22 to the water discharge area 54 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and sprayed.

As the amount of water discharged from the nozzle 22 by the pump 46, for example, about 0.5 to 1 liter / minute / m ² is compensated to the minimum. In addition, the water spray pattern from the nozzle 22 by the operation control of the pump 46 by the water discharge control unit 74 is either continuous water discharge at a stretch or intermittent water discharge.

  The water discharge time depends on the capacity of the tank 44, but the water discharge time can be secured for 30 seconds or more by continuous water discharge. As a capacity for this, for example, about 1 liter of fire-fighting water may be injected into the tank 44.

  Since the size of the main body 12 is limited, a spare tank is installed at a position higher than the tank 44 in addition to providing the tank 44 in the main body 12 as shown in FIG. The supply amount of irrigation water may be increased.

  Furthermore, in places where tap water can be directly taken, a control valve that can be opened and closed electrically is provided instead of the pump 46, and a tube taken out of tap water is directly connected to this control valve, and the nozzle is opened by opening the control valve. Water may be sprinkled from 22.

  Further, when arson monitoring is detected by the arson monitoring unit 70, a message is output to the message terminal 64, and another device connected to the message terminal 64, for example, a fire alarm installed in a dwelling unit. It is also possible to send a warning signal to a fire alarm.

  The test switch 66 provided for the illumination control unit 72 is used to confirm the monitoring area when the arson fire prevention device 10 of the present embodiment is installed on the wall surface 11 as shown in FIG.

  When the test switch 66 is turned on in the installed state, the illumination control unit 72 turns on the LED lamp 28 of the light 20, and for example, if a sheet or the like is spread to the position of the alert area virtual plane 50 in FIGS. 3 and 4, An illumination pattern showing the illumination / fire monitoring area 56 as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed on the sheet, and thereby the warning area can be confirmed. Of course, the area confirmation by the lighting illumination of the light 20 is confirmed in a dark state such as at night.

  FIG. 6 is a time chart showing the arson fire prevention operation according to the present embodiment, which will be described below with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6A is a human body detection signal output from the human sensor 16 and is used as the human sensor 16 when a suspicious person who wants to set fire enters the human body monitoring area 52 of FIGS. Each time a person crosses the warning beam range of the infrared sensor, a human body detection signal is obtained as a differential signal in a pulsed manner.

  That is, when a person passes through the monitoring beam range of the infrared sensor used as the human sensor 16, a human body detection signal is obtained twice in succession at the time of entry and exit. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is determined that the human body is detected at the rising edge in the latter half of the two human body detection signals obtained in succession, and the human body detection unit 68 outputs the human body detection result to the arson monitoring unit 70.

  When the arson monitoring unit 70 receives the human body detection result from the human body detection unit 68 at time t1, the arson monitoring mode is turned on as shown in FIG. 6B for a predetermined time T1, and the illumination control unit 72 is turned on. At the same time as the light 20 is turned on, the process of sampling and reading the fire detection signal from the fire sensor 18 is performed at a predetermined period.

  In FIG. 6A, since the human body detection signal is obtained again at time t2 before the elapse of time t1, the arson monitoring mode becomes a retrigger that is turned on again at this stage. When a certain time T1 elapses from t2, the arson monitoring mode is turned off. In the on state of the arson monitoring mode from time t1, the arson detection signal of FIG. 6 (C) is not obtained, and therefore the effluent control of FIG. 6 (A) is not particularly performed.

  Subsequently, human body detection is determined at time t3 in FIG. 6 (A), and the fire monitoring mode is turned on as shown in FIG. 6 (B). A process of sampling and reading the arson detection signal at a predetermined period is performed.

  In this state, when an arson detection signal is obtained from the arson sensor 18 using an ultraviolet sensor as shown in FIG. 6C, the first rise is ignored for noise removal, but the arson is fired at the time t3 when the second rise occurs. Detection is discriminated, a fire detection signal is output to the water discharge control unit 74, the pump 46 is started from time t4, water for extinguishing fire from the tank 44 is pressurized and supplied to the nozzle 22, and the nozzle 22 is shown in FIGS. Water is sprayed toward the water discharge area 54 shown. After the arson detection signal is obtained, the arson monitoring mode is continuously turned on even if the human body detection signal is turned off.

  When the fire is extinguished by the water discharge control from the nozzle 22, the fire discharge detection signal in FIG. 6 (C) disappears at time t 5, and the water discharge control unit 76 stops the pump 46 by stopping the fire discharge detection signal. To do.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the arson fire prevention process of the present embodiment executed by program control by the MPU of FIG. In FIG. 7, the MPU 60 reads the detection signal of the human sensor 16 in step S1. When the human body detection is determined in step S2, the MPU 60 turns on the fire monitoring mode by the fire sensor 18 and starts fire monitoring in step S3. At the same time, the light 20 is turned on in step S4, and illumination control of the monitoring area is performed.

  Subsequently, the detection signal of the arson sensor is read in step S5, and if arson is detected in step S6, the pump 46 is activated in step S7 to perform water discharge control.

  In the above embodiment, the detection status in the arson fire prevention device 10 is stored in the nonvolatile memory 65 as log data. However, as another embodiment, a CCD camera is provided in the arson fire prevention device 10. The situation from when a human body is detected by the human sensor until the start of water discharge is imaged for each event by the CCD camera and stored as image data in the nonvolatile memory 65 so that the reproduction check can be performed later. .

  In the above embodiment, a light is turned on when detecting a human body so as to notify an intruder that the apparatus is operating. You may make it inform. Further, the lighting of the light by the human body detection may not be continuously lit, but the surroundings may be easily understood by blinking.

  Moreover, although said embodiment took the case where it installs in the wall surface of a warning place as an example, it is good also as a stationary type installed in places other than a wall surface.

The present invention includes appropriate modifications that do not impair the objects and advantages thereof, and is not limited by the numerical values shown in the above embodiments.
