Description

The present invention relates to an alarm system, an alarm linkage method, an emergency alarm device, and an alarm device that output an earthquake early warning or a tsunami alarm to an alarm device that detects and alarms an abnormality such as a fire or gas leak.

  Conventionally, alarm devices that detect and warn of abnormalities such as fires and gas leaks in homes have become widespread. Of these, residential fire alarms are referred to as residential alarms.

  In such a house alarm device, the sensor unit and the alarm unit are integrally provided in the house alarm device, and when a fire is detected from the detection signal of the sensor unit, a fire alarm is output from the alarm unit by a voice message or the like. In addition, since it is possible to monitor and warn the fire with a resident alarm alone without the need for dedicated receiving equipment, it is easy to install and inexpensive, and has become widespread due to the obligatory installation in ordinary houses. .

  In addition, by communicating between multiple home alarms, when a fire alarm is issued by any home alarm, another home alarm system is also proposed in which other home alarms also issue an alarm. Has been.

  In such a home alarm system, when a fire is detected by the home alarm, the source home alarm that detected the fire is, for example, “Please check that the Woo Woo Fire Alarm has been activated”. A voice message is output. When an alarm is issued by the house alarm, the alarm is stopped by operating an alarm stop switch provided in the house alarm.

  On the other hand, as an earthquake warning system that notifies earthquake information using TV broadcasting, FM broadcasting, and AM broadcasting, emergency warning broadcasting is performed when a large-scale disaster such as an earthquake occurs or when a tsunami warning is announced. There is also an emergency earthquake bulletin that announces predictions for areas where strong shaking is expected before the shaking arrives in the event of an earthquake.

  Emergency warning broadcasts are broadcast via TV, FM and AM broadcasts when a Tokai earthquake warning declaration is issued, when a tsunami warning is announced, or when an evacuation instruction is issued by the governor or the head of the local government. An emergency alert signal is transmitted to automatically turn on the receiver, and the emergency alert broadcast is reproduced and output.

  In addition, the earthquake early warning will be announced at an estimated maximum seismic intensity of 5 or less, and an earthquake early warning signal will be transmitted by TV, FM and AM broadcasts, and a serious disaster will occur in areas where strong shaking is expected due to earthquake motion Warning that there is a risk.

  Emergency warning devices that function as dedicated receivers in response to such emergency warning broadcasting and earthquake early warnings have been put into practical use and are widely used.

  For example, in an emergency warning device corresponding to an earthquake early warning, for example, a specific FM radio broadcast is selected and is in a reception standby state. "Please be wary of strong shaking" twice, for example, the first chime sound is analyzed, the earthquake early warning signal is detected, the broadcast playback operation is started, and the automatic sound following the chime sound Is output from the speaker at the set volume to notify the occurrence of an earthquake.

  Further, in the case of an emergency warning broadcast of analog broadcasting, the emergency warning device corresponding to the emergency warning broadcast detects an FSK signal which is an electronic sound (piropiro sound) in the audible range first transmitted as a start signal. In such a case, a broadcast reproduction operation is started to receive and reproduce emergency warning broadcasts such as tsunami warnings.

Furthermore, an emergency warning device corresponding to both emergency earthquake warning and emergency warning broadcasting has been put into practical use.

  However, in such a conventional emergency warning device, the emergency earthquake warning and tsunami warning can be heard only within the range where the sound from the emergency warning device can be heard, and the emergency warning device is installed for each room. Although it is necessary, there is a problem that the cost is high and installation spaces must be secured in various places.

  Also, since it is basically a broadcast receiver, when receiving FM broadcasts or AM broadcasts, radio waves may not be received with sufficient strength in some rooms due to poor radio wave conditions. However, it may not function effectively.

  On the other hand, in an interlocked house alarm system that links multiple house alarms, it is easy to install and cost-effective because the fire alarm can be monitored with a single house alarm without the need for dedicated receiving equipment. However, there is a merit that it can be made cheaper. However, if a house alarm detects a fire and outputs an interlocking source alarm, and another house alarm outputs an interlocking destination alarm, any of the house alarms will fire. There is a problem that it is difficult to determine whether it is detected, and it is difficult to grasp the situation of the entire home alarm.

The present invention makes it possible to know the occurrence of an earthquake even in a room where an emergency alarm device is not installed or a place where the broadcast radio wave reception environment is not good in cooperation with the alarm device.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an installation state of an alarm system according to the present invention for a house. In the example of FIG. 1, a wireless dwelling alarm (for dwelling) that detects and alerts to fire in each of the warning areas of the living room, kitchen, children's room, master bedroom, and staircase provided in the house 24. Fire alarm devices) 10-1 to 10-6 are installed, and an emergency alarm device 25 is installed in a place where the living room has a good FM radio wave environment.

  The home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6 have a function of transmitting / receiving event signals to / from each other wirelessly, and perform fire monitoring on the corresponding monitoring areas in each part of the house. If a fire has occurred in the kitchen of the house 24 now, the home alarm device 10-2 in the fire occurrence place (kitchen) detects the fire and starts an alarm. Detecting this fire and initiating an alarm is referred to as “reporting” at the home alarm.

  When the home alarm device 10-2 issues a report, the home alarm device 10-2 functions as an interlocking source, and a fire occurs to the other residential alarm devices 10-1, 10-3 to 10-6 that are the interlocking destination. An event signal indicating is transmitted by radio. When the other home alarm devices 10-1, 10-3 to 10-6 have effectively received an event signal indicating the occurrence of a fire from the home alarm device 10-2 of the interlocking source, the interlocking destination is indicated by an alarm sound and an alarm display. The alarm action is performed.

  Here, “effective reception” detects that this event signal has been received effectively when the group code included in the received event signal matches the group code registered in the memory. Moreover, the transmission source code | cord | chord is included in the event signal transmitted from the residence police device 10-1 to 10-6 as identification information which shows the residence police device of a transmission origin, for example. In addition, the residence police device 100 which received the event signal effectively performs relay transmission of the event signal as needed.

  Self-events detected by the home alarm include not only the above-mentioned fire occurrence but also fire recovery, alarm stop operation, earthquake early warning, tsunami warning, etc. Various event signals from other alarm devices and devices Reception is also included. These will be described later.

  As an alarm operation of the home alarm device 10-2 that is the link source, for example, an alarm sound by a voice message such as “Please confirm that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated” is output. On the other hand, in the interlocked home alarm devices 10-1, 10-3 to 10-6, an alarm sound is output by a voice message such as “Please confirm that another fire alarm has been activated”.

  Moreover, as a display (referred to as alarm display) associated with an alarm of the home alarm device 10-2 that is the interlock source, for example, an LED is lit. On the other hand, in the interlocking destination home alarm devices 10-1, 10-3 to 10-6, the LED is blinked. As a result, the alarm display by the LED in the interlock source alarm and the interlock destination alarm can be distinguished.

  The interlocking source LED may be blinking and the interlocking destination LED may be blinking, or the same LED may be blinking or blinking or lit for both the interlocking source alarm and the interlocking destination alarm. Further, for example, a red LED and a yellow LED may be provided, and the two-color display may be performed such that the interlocking source drives the red LED and the interlocking destination drives the yellow LED. Of course, a two-color LED capable of emitting both red and yellow by combining two LEDs can be adopted. In addition, a liquid crystal display or the like may be used.

  When the alarm stop switch is operated in a state in which the house alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6 are emitting an alarm sound, the alarm sound and the alarm display stop process are performed.

  At this time, for example, in the case where an alarm stop operation is performed in the home alarm device 10-2 that is the interlocking source, alarms (alarm sound output and / or alarm display output) of all the home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6 ) And the alarm stop operation is performed in any of the interlocking destinations of the residential police 10-1, 10-3 to 10-6, the alarm of the residential police 10-2 does not stop The alarms of the residential alarm devices 10-1, 10-3 to 10-6 are stopped. In addition, in the following description, when calling the housing alarms 10-1 to 10-6 without distinguishing them, they are referred to as the housing alarms 10.

  The emergency warning device 25 detects and reproduces the reception of an emergency earthquake warning signal or tsunami warning signal by the emergency earthquake information broadcast transmitted from the broadcasting facility as its own event, and also notifies the resident alarm device 10 of the emergency earthquake warning ( (Hereinafter referred to as “earthquake notification”) and a device event signal indicating emergency earthquake information notification of tsunami notification. The event detected by the emergency warning device 25 includes operation of the operation unit, reception of an event signal from the residential alarm 10, etc. in addition to the reception of the above-mentioned emergency earthquake warning signal and tsunami warning signal.

  Emergency earthquake information broadcasts received and reproduced by the emergency warning device 25 include emergency earthquake warning (EEW) and emergency warning broadcasting (EWS). The earthquake early warning is a warning issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency with an estimated maximum seismic intensity of less than 5 for the general public, and warns that there is a possibility of serious disasters due to earthquake motion to areas where strong shaking is expected Broadcast. For example, “Earthquake early warning (2 times chime sound). Watch out for strong shaking” is repeated twice. For example, the emergency warning device 100 analyzes the first chime signal to detect an emergency earthquake warning signal and switches from the reception standby state to the reproduction operation, and “Emergency earthquake warning. Be wary of strong shaking.” Output at the set volume.

  The emergency warning broadcast is an alarm that is issued when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs or when a tsunami warning is announced, and automatically switches on a standby television or radio receiver. The first type start signal, the second type start signal, and the end signal are used for the start and end of the emergency warning broadcast. The first type start signal is transmitted when a warning declaration of the Tokai earthquake is announced, or when an evacuation instruction is issued from the governor or the head of the local government, and automatically turns on the receiver. Also. The type 2 start signal is sent only when a tsunami warning is announced, and the same automatically turns on the receiver. The end signal is transmitted a predetermined time after the transmission of the first type or second type start signal, and automatically turns off the receiver. In addition, a test signal is transmitted at a predetermined time, for example, once a month to check the operation of the receiver. This test signal is the same as the end signal, and if only the end signal is received, the receiver operates normally. Check if it works.

  In the following description, detection of the second type start signal by emergency alert broadcasting is referred to as detection of a tsunami warning signal. Moreover, in this embodiment, although it corresponds to the tsunami warning signal by the type 2 start signal in the warning earthquake early warning and the emergency warning broadcast, the emergency warning by the type 1 start signal is excluded, but it is necessary. You may add according to.

  When the emergency warning device 25 is installed, the residential alarm 10 of the present embodiment repeats a voice message of information indicating the earthquake notification for a predetermined time when the device event signal indicating the earthquake notification is effectively received from the emergency warning device 25. Or repeatedly output a predetermined number of times (including once). As a voice message indicating information indicating an earthquake notification, for example, “PPP emergency earthquake early warning. Be wary of strong shaking” is output.

  In addition, when the device alarm signal indicating the tsunami notification is effectively received from the emergency warning device 25, the residential alarm 10 repeatedly outputs a voice message of information indicating the tsunami notification for a predetermined time or repeats a predetermined number of times (including once). Output. For example, “Peepy Tsunami Warning has been issued. Please do not approach the coast and evacuate to the hill” is output as a voice message indicating information indicating the tsunami notification.

  Further, when the emergency warning device 25 effectively receives an event signal indicating a fire from the home alarm device 10, the emergency alarm device 25 detects the home alarm device detecting the fire based on the transmission source code included in the event signal, and any of the home alarm devices detects the fire. An alarm sound is output with a voice message indicating whether it has been detected. For example, a warning message such as “Check Woo Woo No. 1 Fire Alarm Activated” or “Woo Woo Fire Alarm Alarm Activated” is output as the fire alarm sound of the emergency warning device 25 To do.

  In addition, the emergency warning device 25 displays a fire alarm sound by turning on, blinking, and blinking the LED, and also displays information such as a house alarm number indicating the house alarm that detected the fire and a room name indicating the installation location. Display with a light or liquid crystal display.

  The emergency alarm device 25 is connected to the fire alarm system in the fire alarm system using the interlocking type home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6 by the notification indicating the home alarm device detecting the fire by the emergency alarm device 25. It can be used as a device that plays a role, and it becomes possible to collectively manage the fire monitoring statuses of the residential alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6.

  Moreover, when the emergency warning device 25 is installed in the same place as any one of the residential alarms 10, the sound of earthquake notification or tsunami notification is output from both, making it difficult to hear. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the prohibition mode for prohibiting the output of the earthquake alarm and tsunami alarm to the home alarm device 10 can be set by operating the mode switch, and the same place as the emergency alarm device 25 (the alarm and the alarm range overlap). By setting the prohibit mode for the house alarm installed in the place where the earthquake is to occur, even if a device event signal indicating earthquake notification or tsunami notification is received from the emergency warning device 25, the earthquake notification or tsunami notification is displayed. Do not output information.

  The prohibit mode setting function can be used in the same way even when a plurality of residential alarms are installed in the same place.

  As described above, the prohibit mode setting function may be provided on the side of the house alarm, but in general, it is assumed that the house alarm 10 has a larger number of installed units than the emergency alarm device 25. In consideration of the overall cost, etc., the emergency warning device 25 may be provided. In this way, it is not necessary to install the prohibit mode setting function in the residential alarm device 10 having a large number of installed units, the overall cost of the system equipment can be suppressed, and the emergency warning device can be used even when checking the presence or absence of the prohibit mode setting. There is an effect of preventing the operation from becoming complicated.

  Moreover, when considering together the duplication alerting | reporting of the emergency alarm device 25 and the housing alarm 10, and the duplication alerting between housing alarms, the prohibition mode setting function is provided in both the housing alerting device 10 and the emergency alerting device 25, You may enable it to set each according to installation conditions. Naturally, at this time, when a plurality of emergency warning devices 25 are installed at the same place, it is possible to set so as to avoid the redundant notification between the emergency warning devices.

  Of course, even in an installation situation in which alarms and notification sounds are output in duplicate, it is not always necessary to use the prohibit mode setting, and it is appropriately selected and set by the user's judgment.

  Here, in FIG. 1, when a fire is detected and alarmed by the home alarm device 10-2, a fire occurs in the other home alarm devices 10-1, 10-3 to 10-6 and the emergency alarm device 25. A path for transmitting an event signal to be transmitted is indicated as an event communication path 11a, and a path for transmitting an apparatus event signal indicating an earthquake notification or tsunami notification from the emergency warning device 25 is illustrated as an apparatus event communication path 11b. In addition, although the event signal or apparatus event signal received by the residence guards 10-1 to 10-6 is respectively relayed to other residence guards, the communication path is omitted.

  A liquid crystal panel 114 is provided as a display unit on the left side of the front surface of the box-shaped housing, and when an event signal indicating a fire is effectively received from the home guard 10, a fire is detected based on a transmission source code included in the event signal. The home alarm device which has been alarmed is determined, and the number display indicating the determined home alarm device and the district display (room name display etc.) indicating the installation location are performed.

  An alarm stop switch 92 is provided below the liquid crystal panel 114. When the alarm stop switch 92 is operated during a fire alarm, the alarm sound and display fire alarm are stopped.

  For example, an operation unit (not shown) is provided on the bottom surface of the box-shaped housing, and a test switch and an alarm stop switch are provided in addition to a channel selection button, a volume, and a channel selection set button. The liquid crystal panel 114 also displays a frequency at the time of channel selection operation.

  FIG. 3B is an explanatory view showing the appearance of another embodiment of the emergency alert device according to the present invention. The emergency warning device 25 of FIG. 3 (B) is provided with a house warning device indicator lamp 116 in which, for example, eight LEDs are arranged instead of the liquid crystal panel 114 provided in FIG. It is characterized by that. For example, house alarm numbers 1 to 8 are displayed on the house alarm indicator light 116, and the relation between the source code of the house alarm and the house alarm number is registered in the table, and received from the house alarm. The LED having the number corresponding to the transmission source code included in the event signal indicating the fire is turned on or blinked to indicate the resident alarm device that detects the fire.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an emergency alarm device and a residential alarm provided in the alarm system of FIG. This is an example, and the separation and integration of each function can be performed arbitrarily. Each part or all of each function may be executed by software (program) or may be executed by hardware.

  In FIG. 4, the home alarm device 10-1 includes a processor 28 known as a one-chip CPU. For the processor 28, a wireless communication unit 30 including an antenna 31, a memory 32, a sensor unit 34, a notification unit 36, An operation unit 38 and a battery power source 40 are provided.

  The wireless communication unit 30 is provided with a transmission circuit 42 and a reception circuit 44 so that event signals can be transmitted and received wirelessly between the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6. The device event signal can be received. As the wireless communication unit 30, in Japan, for example, STD-30 (wireless equipment standard of a low power security system wireless station) or STD-T67 known as a standard of a specific low power wireless station of 400 MHz band. It has a configuration that conforms to the standard for specific low-power radio station telemeters, telecontrol and data transmission radio equipment.

  Of course, when the wireless communication unit 30 is used outside Japan, the wireless communication unit 30 has contents compliant with the standard of the assigned wireless station in that region.

  The antenna 31, the transmission circuit 42, and the transmission processing unit 60 are collectively referred to as a transmission unit, and the antenna 31, the reception circuit 44, and the reception processing unit 62 are collectively referred to as a transmission unit.

  The transmission of the event signal in the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless communication unit 30 includes an operation of transmitting an event signal for a predetermined time T1, for example, T1 = 3 seconds, with a pause of a predetermined time T2, for example, T2 = 2 seconds. Repeated 4 times. This T1 = 3-second transmission and T = 2-second pause comply with the standard of a specific low-power radio station. In the transmission operation of T1 = 3 seconds, for example, 2.8 seconds from the beginning of the transmission is dummy signal transmission, and event signals are repeatedly transmitted in the remaining time of 0.2 seconds.

  In addition, reception by the reception circuit 44 of the wireless communication unit 30 is an event signal from the other alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 belonging to the same group as the alarm device 10-1, or an apparatus event signal from the emergency alarm device 25. Is received intermittently. In the intermittent reception, the reception operation is repeated for a predetermined period T3, for example, every T3 = 7 seconds, for a receivable time T4, for example, T4 = 100 milliseconds, and during the receivable time T4, the transmission dummy signal is carrier sensed. When the signal is detected, it switches to continuous reception for a predetermined time and receives an event signal or device event signal following the dummy signal.

  The received signal is decoded by the reception processing unit 62 provided in the processor 28. Hereinafter, the process up to this decoding may be referred to as reception. In particular, when the signal is determined to be valid as a result of decoding, it is called effective reception.

  In addition, the wireless communication unit 30 detects the fire or an event other than the fire and transmits an event signal, or receives the device event signal from the emergency warning device 25 and receives another housing police. Confirmation signal indicating that the event signal has been normally received from the other housing police devices 10-2 to 10-6, which belong to the same group as the housing police device 10-1 and have received it. It is monitored whether or not (hereinafter referred to as “ACK signal”) is effectively received.

  In the case where an ACK signal is not received among the other resident alarms, the resident alarm 10-1 transmits an event signal with a relay request to another resident alarm or the emergency alarm device 25 from which the ACK signal has been received or An event signal with a relay request is sent from the home alarm device or emergency warning device 25 that has transmitted the device event signal and received the event signal with the relay request or the device event signal to the home alarm device or emergency warning device 25 with no AKC signal response Relay device event signals. An AKC signal that has not received an AKC signal that has received a relay request event signal or device event signal relays back an ACK signal in response to a relay request event signal or device event signal. Is received by the home guard 10-1 of the interlocking source via the relay (reply relay). Accordingly, if there is a residence warning device or emergency warning device 25 that does not receive the ACK signal, it is determined as a communication failure or the like, and a predetermined failure handling process is performed.

  The memory 32 includes a serial number 48, which is a serial number indicating the order of event signals, a transmission source code 50 serving as resident alarm identification information for identifying each resident alarm, and a resident alarm installed in a house as shown in FIG. The group code | symbol 52 for comprising the interlocking | linkage group which performs a interlocking | linkage alarm in 10-1 to 10-6 is stored.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the event signal format used for the interlocking alarm in the present embodiment, and the device event signal is also the same. In FIG. 5, the event signal 46 includes a serial number 48, a transmission source code 50, a group code 52, and an event code 54.

  The serial number 48 is a serial number indicating the order of event signals, and is incremented by one each time an event signal is transmitted to each terminal (residential alarm device, emergency alarm device). The serial number 48 is generated asynchronously by each of the residential alarm 10 and the emergency warning device 25. The serial number 48 is used for managing event signal relay processing, etc., mainly in wireless communication between the residential alarm 10 and the emergency warning device 25, but since it is not directly related to the present invention, a detailed description will be given. Omitted.

  The transmission source code 50 is, for example, a 26-bit code used as the home alarm identification information, and uses, for example, the serial numbers of the home alarm 10 and the emergency warning device 25. The group code 52 is, for example, an 8-bit code. For example, the same group code is set for the residential alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6 and the emergency warning device 25 shown in FIG.

  As the group code 52, in addition to setting the same group code to the same group of house alarms, for example, a reference code common to the house alarms constituting a predetermined group and a transmission source unique to each house alarm A different group code may be used for each residential alarm obtained from the calculation with the code. In other words, any code can be used as long as each terminal (residential alarm device, emergency warning device) that has received the event signal can determine whether or not it is a signal from a terminal in the same group as itself. It may be.

The event code 54 is a code representing the event content such as a fire, gas leak (for example, a gas leak alarm device or a residence alarm device having a gas leak detection function), and in this embodiment, a 4-bit code is used. For example, 0001 = fire 0010 = gas leak 0011 = alarm stop (fire alarm stop, gas leak alarm stop, fault alarm stop)
0100 = recovery (fire recovery, gas leak recovery, failure recovery)
0101 = sensor failure 0110 = low battery failure 0111 = earthquake notification 1000 = tsunami notification.

  Note that the above-described code indicating “relay request is present” is omitted here, but it can be added to the event code by increasing the number of bits. In addition, both an identification code indicating a source (interlocking source) residence alarm and an identification code of a residence policer performing relay are added to the event signal or device event signal to be relayed. Further, an identification code for designating a transmission destination may be added.

  Further, although the above-described code indicating “relay request is present” is omitted here, for example, it can be added to the event code by assigning it to “1111”, for example. Further, for example, “0000” may be assigned for periodic communication confirmation. Of course, more event codes can be assigned by increasing the number of bits.

  Referring again to FIG. 1, the sensor unit 34 is provided with a smoke detector 16 that detects smoke and outputs a smoke detection signal. As described above, the sensor unit 34 may be provided with a temperature detecting element such as a thermistor for detecting a temperature due to a fire, and various elements for detecting other physical phenomenon changes due to a fire, instead of the smoke detecting unit 16. .

  The notification unit 36 is provided with a speaker 56 that outputs an alarm sound and the LED 22 that displays an alarm. The speaker 56 outputs various voice messages, alarm sounds, and the like held by itself from a voice synthesis circuit unit (not shown) via an amplification unit (not shown). The LED 22 displays an abnormality such as a fire by blinking, blinking, or lighting. Instead of the speaker 56, a buzzer or the like may be used. Further, instead of the LED 22, a two-color LED, a liquid crystal display, or the like may be provided. Of course, an LED and a liquid crystal display may be provided together.

  The operation unit 38 is provided with an alarm stop switch 20 and a mode switch 21. The alarm stop switch 20 functions as an alarm stop switch only when an alarm sound of a fire or failure is output from the notification unit 36 by the speaker 56 or when an alarm display is performed by the LED 22. For example, if the alarm stop switch 20 is operated during an alarm indicating the interlock source, the alarm sound and the alarm display are stopped, and if the alarm stop switch 20 is operated during the alarm indicating the interlock destination, the alarm sound is stopped, but the alarm display is Alarm stop processing is performed such as stopping after a predetermined time from the stop or stop of the alarm sound.

  In the normal monitoring state in which the home alarm device 10-1 does not issue an alarm indicating the interlocking source or the interlocking destination, the alarm stop switch 20 functions as an inspection switch. When the alarm stop switch 20 is operated in this state, a predetermined self The inspection operation is executed, and a voice message indicating the inspection result is output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36.

  When the alarm stop switch 20 is operated during the fault alarm, the fault alarm stop process may be performed after performing a predetermined self-inspection operation and informing the result. In this way, for example, the failure alarm stop process is performed after rechecking the sensor failure or the like, so that the user can be made to recognize the failure state more clearly. At this time, if the failure state has been resolved (failure recovery), for example, a message such as “the failure has been resolved” may be output, and the processing may be shifted to the failure stop processing (failure recovery processing).

  The mode switch 21 provided in the operation unit 38 is a dip switch or the like provided on the back surface of the main body, and the emergency earthquake warning notification prohibiting mode can be set on or off. When the prohibit mode is set (turned on) by turning on the mode switch 21, even if a device event signal indicating earthquake notification or tsunami notification is received from the emergency warning device 25, information output indicating the earthquake notification or tsunami notification from the notification unit 36. Is not done.

  Necessary when using this function, for example, when the house alarm 10 is installed in a room where the emergency alarm device 25 is installed, or when a plurality of house alarms 10 are installed in the same room. Depending on the situation, information can be output only to a predetermined device in the room, so that it is possible to avoid redundant information output by a plurality of devices, and in this case, for example, the battery consumption of prohibited resident police is suppressed. And the like.

  The battery power source 40 uses, for example, a lithium battery or an alkaline battery having a predetermined number of cells, and has a battery capacity of, for example, 10 by reducing the power consumption of the entire circuit unit including the wireless communication unit 30 in the residential alarm 10-1. The battery life of the year is guaranteed.

  The processor 28 is provided with functions of an event detection unit 58, a transmission processing unit 60, a reception processing unit 62, an alarm processing unit 64, and an earthquake notification processing unit 66 as functions realized by executing the program.

  The event detection unit 58 detects the presence or absence of a fire detected from the detection signal output of the sensor unit 34, the presence or absence of an alarm stop instruction input by the operation unit 38 or the presence or absence of an inspection instruction, and the detection signal output of the sensor unit 34 decreases to detect a fire. Detects an event such as a fire recovery where the condition is cleared. Further, the event detection unit 58 is obtained as a result of decoding the event signal from the other home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the device event signal from the emergency alarm device 25 through the reception circuit 44 and the reception processing unit 62. The presence / absence of event signal valid reception and the event contents are detected.

  The transmission processing unit 60 detects the fire from the detection signal output of the sensor unit 34 by the event detection unit 58, stops the alarm by the operation unit 38, and recovers the fire in which the detection signal output of the sensor unit 34 is reduced to eliminate the fire detection state. When an event such as self is detected, an event signal indicating the detected event is transmitted from the antenna 31 to the other resident alarm device or emergency warning device 25 that is linked via the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless communication unit 30. Let Moreover, the transmission process part 60 relays and transmits the event signal or apparatus event signal which was received effectively from the other residence alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency alarm device 25 as necessary.

  The reception processing unit 62 receives an event signal from the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 or a device event signal from the emergency warning device 25 via the antenna 31 and the reception circuit 44 of the wireless communication unit 30. Decipher.

  In addition, as a kind of apparatus event signal, in the case of stopping a fire alarm or the like of the residential alarm 10 by a signal indicating an earthquake notification or a tsunami notification or an operation of an alarm stop switch 92 provided in the emergency alarm device 25 of FIG. There is a signal indicating the alarm stop.

  The alarm processing unit 64 receives a signal from the event detection unit 58 when the event detection unit 58 detects a fire as its own abnormality, and outputs an alarm sound indicating the link source from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36, and the LED 22 For example, the alarm display indicating the interlocking source is performed by turning on the light, and the event signal indicating the fire is transmitted to the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency alarm device 25.

  Specifically, when the event detection unit 58 detects a fire based on the smoke detection signal of the smoke detection unit 16 provided in the sensor unit 34, the alarm processing unit 64 is a signal indicating the fact from the event detection unit 58. Based on this, the alarm unit 36 is controlled to repeatedly output an alarm sound indicating the link source from the speaker 56, for example, a voice message of “Woo Woo is a fire”, and the LED 22 is lit to indicate the link source Display control is performed, and an event signal indicating a fire is transmitted from the antenna 31 to the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency by the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless communication unit 30 via the transmission processing unit 64 and the transmission circuit 42. It is transmitted toward the alarm device 25.

  Further, the alarm processing unit 64 receives an event signal indicating a fire from any of the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 by the reception circuit 44 of the wireless communication unit 30, and becomes effective in the reception processing unit 62. In this case, an alarm sound (notification sound) by a voice message indicating the interlocking destination is repeatedly output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36, for example, “Please confirm that another fire alarm has been activated”. The LED 22 blinks to display an alarm indicating the interlock destination. When the emergency alarm device 25 receives an event signal indicating a fire from the residential alarm device 10-1, the emergency alarm device 25 receives a voice message from the speaker, such as “Please confirm that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated”. A warning sound is output.

  Here, the event detection unit 58 detects a low battery failure and a sensor failure as failures. Low battery failure and sensor failure are automatically executed regularly in the background as built-in tests. The detection of the low battery failure is performed by A / D conversion of the power supply voltage supplied from the battery power supply 40 directly or indirectly through a voltage detection circuit (not shown) at a predetermined measurement time interval, for example, T3 = 4 time intervals. Read and compare with a predetermined threshold voltage. When the voltage is lower than this threshold voltage, the low battery failure detection is preliminarily determined, and when the low battery failure detection tentative determination continues continuously for a predetermined number of times, it is determined that the low battery failure is detected ( Confirm) and set the low battery failure flag and store it in the memory 32.

  The sensor failure is detected by reading the smoke detection signal output from the smoke detector 16 of the sensor unit 34 at a predetermined measurement time interval, for example, T1 = 1 second interval by A / D conversion, and holding it in the buffer area of the memory 32. For example, for every predetermined time interval T2 = 10 minutes, the average value of the detected data for 10 minutes held in the buffer area of the memory 32 is obtained, and this average value falls below a predetermined reference level (referred to as the zero point level). If it is determined that the output is stopped, the sensor unit 34 is determined to be faulty, and a sensor fault flag is set and stored in the memory 32.

  The reason why the 10-minute average value of the smoke concentration detection signal falls below the zero point is because of a failure such as failure of the light receiving element provided in the smoke detector 16, disconnection of the output signal line from the light receiving element, or stop of the light receiving amplifier. Because it is highly likely that this is due to the fact that it has

  Even when a temperature detection element such as a thermistor is provided in the sensor unit 16, a sensor failure can be similarly detected by various processes. In addition, disconnection of the output line to the speaker 56, other circuit failures, communication abnormalities, and the like can be similarly monitored. Such a failure is also collectively referred to as a sensor failure in the present embodiment because processing similar to that for a sensor failure is performed after detection.

  When the event detection unit 58 detects a sensor failure or a low battery failure, the alarm processing unit 64 generates a sensor failure alarm or a low battery failure alarm indicating an interlocking source by an alarm sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the display of the LED 22. Output.

  Further, the alarm processing unit 64 transmits an event signal indicating a sensor failure or a low battery failure to the other home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency alarm device 25, and the home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and The emergency alarm device 25 is caused to perform a sensor failure alarm or a low battery failure alarm indicating a link destination with an alarm sound and / or display.

  Further, the alarm processing unit 64 detects the presence of effective reception of an event signal indicating a sensor failure or a low battery failure from any of the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 via the reception circuit 44 and the reception processing unit 62. In such a case, a sensor failure alarm or a low battery failure alarm indicating the link destination is output from the alarm sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the display of the LED 22.

  Further, when the event detecting unit 58 detects a sensor failure, the alarm processing unit 64 outputs, for example, a “pick failure” voice message from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 as a sensor failure alarm sound indicating the link source (failure source). The process of repeatedly outputting a predetermined number of times and causing the LED 22 to blink, for example, and then outputting a “pick failure” voice message once every predetermined time, together with the display output by the LED 22 being repeated periodically.

  Further, the alarm processing unit 64 transmits an event signal indicating a sensor failure to the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency alarm device 25 via the transmission processing unit 60 and the transmission circuit 42, so that the linkage destination A sensor failure alarm indicating is output. At this time, for example, “beep alarm device is faulty” or “beep alarm device is faulty” is output as an alarm sound, and a flashing display different from that of the interlock source is performed.

  In addition, when the event processing unit 58 detects a low battery failure in the event processing unit 58, the alarm processing unit 64 detects, for example, “Battery is dead” from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 as a low battery failure alarm sound indicating the link source (failure source). A process of periodically outputting a voice message a predetermined number of times and causing the LED 22 to blink, for example, and then outputting a voice message of “battery exhausted” once every fixed time, together with a display output by the LED 22 is performed periodically. Repeat.

  In addition, the alarm processing unit 64 transmits an event signal indicating a low battery failure to the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency alarm device 25, thereby using the low battery failure alarm indicating the interlocking destination as an alarm sound. A voice message such as “Beep alarm is out of battery” or “Beep alarm is out of battery” is output, and the flashing display is different from the interlock source.

  Further, the alarm processing unit 64 detects the operation of the alarm stop switch 20 during the output of the fire alarm sound indicating the interlocking source or the fire alarm sound indicating the interlocking destination, or the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6. When any event signal effective reception indicating the alarm stop from the emergency alarm device 25 or device event signal effective reception is detected, the output of the fire alarm by the voice message from the speaker 56 and the alarm display of the LED 22 is stopped. At this time, the alarm display by the LED 22 may be stopped after continuing for a predetermined time. It should be noted that during the fire alarm indicating the interlocking source, at least the output of the alarm sound may be continued even if the event signal indicating the alarm stop or the device event signal is effectively received.

  Furthermore, when the alarm processing unit 64 detects an alarm stop operation of the alarm stop switch 20 provided in the operation unit 38 during the output of the sensor failure indicating the interlocking source or the low battery failure alarm, the alarm processing unit 64 generates an alarm sound indicating its own interlocking source. Stop and stop the fault display for a predetermined time, and then stop the alarm signal output to the other alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency alarm device 25 that are outputting the fault alarm indicating the interlocking destination. It transmits and stops the failure alarm sound and the failure display of the residence warning devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency warning device 25.

  When the event detection unit 58 detects that the device event signal indicating the earthquake notification is received from the emergency warning device 25 via the reception circuit 44 and the reception processing unit 62, the earthquake notification processing unit 66 is used as information indicating the earthquake notification. For example, a voice message such as “Peep emergency earthquake warning. Be wary of strong shaking” is repeatedly output for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36, and the LED 22 is turned on, blinks, or blinks.

  Further, when the event detection unit 58 detects that the device event signal indicating the tsunami notification is received from the emergency warning device 25 via the reception circuit 44 and the reception processing unit 62, the earthquake notification processing unit 66 is information indicating the tsunami notification. For example, a voice message such as “Peep Tsunami Warning has been issued. Please do not approach the beach and evacuate to the hill” is repeatedly output for a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36, and the LED 22 is lit and blinks. Or flicker.

  In addition, when the earthquake notification processing unit 66 has set a prohibit mode in which the output of information indicating earthquake notification and tsunami notification is prohibited by setting the mode switch 21 to be turned on, the earthquake notification or tsunami is issued from the emergency warning device 25. Even if the device event detection unit 98 detects that the device event signal indicating the notification is validly received, the voice message output of the information indicating the earthquake notification or the tsunami notification is not performed.

  Prohibition of voice message output by the mode switch 21 may be set for the earthquake alarm test.

  Further, when a mode switch for setting the prohibit mode is provided in the operation unit 78 of the emergency alarm device 25 described later, the fire alarm output from the emergency alarm device 25 may be prohibited by setting the mode switch.

  Even when voice messages and sound output are prohibited, only display may be performed, and conversely, only display may be prohibited. Further, this may be specified separately. That is, the setting of output prohibition can be appropriately selected and set for earthquake notification, tsunami notification, earthquake notification test, and sound output and display output.

  In this way, the notification method can be selectively set according to the type of event for which notification output is performed, and an appropriate notification pattern can be obtained depending on the user's wishes and the installation status of the device. Easy to use.

  Next, the emergency warning device 25 will be described. The emergency warning device 25 includes a processor 68, an FM receiver 70 including an antenna 71, a sound amplifying unit 72, a speaker 74, a display unit 76, a house alarm display unit 78, an operation unit 80, a wireless communication unit 82, and a memory 86. The processor 68 includes an analysis unit 96, a device event detection unit 98, a transmission control unit 100, a reception control unit 102, and an alarm control unit 104 as functions realized by executing the program. Taking the operation unit 80 as an example in FIG. 3A, an alarm stop switch 92 and a test switch 94 are provided.

  The antenna 84, the transmission circuit 88, and the transmission control unit 100 are collectively referred to as a transmission unit, and the antenna 84, the reception circuit 90, and the reception control unit 102 are collectively referred to as a transmission unit. Further, the speaker 74, the display unit 76, and the house alarm device display unit 78 constitute a notification unit of the emergency warning device 25. Further, the FM receiver 70 corresponds to the broadcast receiver in the claims.

  The FM receiver 70 tunes the tuner to the FM station selected by the operation of the operation unit 80, receives the FM broadcast radio wave via the FM antenna 71, demodulates and outputs it as an audio signal. The sound amplifying unit 72 stops operating in the standby state, and therefore, the FM broadcast received from the speaker 74 is not reproduced and output.

When the earthquake early warning signal or the tsunami warning signal (emergency warning broadcast type 2 start signal) is detected by the analysis processing in the processor 68, the voice amplifying unit 72 is switched to the operating state. The broadcast contents of the emergency earthquake bulletin and tsunami warning that are reproduced and output are output from the speaker 74 via the amplifier 72. The display unit 76 displays necessary for FM broadcast reception, such as reception standby display, broadcast reception display, and channel selection frequency display.

  The home alarm number display section 78 is realized by, for example, the liquid crystal panel 114 in FIG. 3B or the home alarm indicator light 116 in FIG. When detected by the device event detection unit 98, the fire alarm is detected based on the transmission source code included in the event signal to determine the alarm device that is alarming, and the display of the alarm device number and the location of the alarm device are determined. The district name shown is displayed.

  The wireless communication unit 82 is provided with a transmission circuit 88 and a reception circuit 90 so that a device event signal can be wirelessly transmitted from the antenna 84 to the home guard 10. As in the case of the domestic police device 10-1, the wireless communication unit 82 conforms to STD-30 or STD-T67, which is known as a standard for a specific low power wireless station in the 400 MHz band, for example, in Japan. It has a configuration.

  In the memory 86, as in the memory 32 of the residential alarm device 10-1, a serial number that is a serial number indicating the order of event signals, a transmission source code that is identification information for identifying the emergency alarm device, and an interlocking group are stored. A group code for configuration is stored (not shown), and a transmission source code management table 106 is further stored.

  The transmission source code management table 106 stores in advance the name of the district (room name) indicating the residence police number and the installation location corresponding to the transmission source codes of the residence police 10-1 to 10-6. When the device event detection unit 98 detects that an event signal indicating that a fire has been received from the device, it refers to the transmission source management table 106 based on the transmission source code included in the event signal, and the house alarm number or district name (room name) ) To obtain a voice message and alarm display that identifies the home alarm device that detected the fire and its location.

  The analysis unit 96 provided in the processor 68 determines the reception of the chime sound that flows at the beginning of the earthquake early warning by the analysis process, and detects the reception of the earthquake early warning signal. The analysis of the chime sound of the earthquake early warning by the analysis unit 96 is performed by the vector correlation method described in Patent Document 3, for example. The analysis unit 96 detects reception of the tsunami warning signal by discriminating reception of the second type start signal in the emergency warning broadcast by analysis processing.
