Description

  The present invention relates to an alarm system that transmits a fire-linked signal from a radio-linked alarm installed in a house or the like to a message adapter and operates an external device by a message output.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an alarm device that detects and warns of a fire in a house has become widespread. Of these, residential fire alarms are referred to as residential alarms.

  For example, in such a house alarm, a sensor unit and an alarm unit are integrally provided in the house alarm, and when a fire is detected from a detection signal of the sensor unit, a fire alarm is output from the alarm unit. Since a fire alarm and alarm can be performed by a single residence guard without requiring a dedicated receiving facility or the like, it is easy to install and inexpensive, and has become widespread due to the mandatory installation in ordinary houses.

  There is also a wireless interlocking alarm system that outputs fire alarms in conjunction with other home alarms when a fire alarm is output from any home alarm by communicating between multiple home alarms. Practical and popular.

  In addition, in the case of a radio-linked alarm system, when a fire-linked signal is received from a home alarm, in order to link external devices such as a fire alarm device or a housing information panel installed outside the system, A transfer adapter is provided that functions as a repeater that outputs a transfer signal to an external device connected by a signal line.

  When a warning adapter is installed in the alarm system, a warning signal is output by operating the warning adapter switch as a measure to prevent external devices from interlocking when there is a lot of non-fire warnings due to the home alarm. An alarm system has been proposed that can be stopped.

JP 2012-203562 A Japanese Patent No. 5406080

  However, in the alarm system that can stop the output of the transfer from the conventional transfer adapter, the stop of the transfer to the external device is set by operating the switch of the transfer adapter. As a countermeasure against non-fire reports that frequently occur in residential guards installed in other surveillance areas, if the suspension of the migration adapter is set for the migration adapter, Even if a fire is detected, there is a problem in that an external device is not output a report and the external device cannot be linked.

  Also, when performing synchronized inspection of the home alarm with the alarm system, if you do not want to operate the external equipment connected to the transition adapter by the synchronized inspection, go to the location of the relay adapter and stop the output of the transition. Setting operation is required, and the interlock stop operation associated with the interlock inspection takes time. In addition, when the interlock inspection is completed, you may forget to cancel the interlock stop setting of the alert adapter, and there is a risk that the alert adapter may not be able to properly synchronize external devices when a fire is detected by the home alarm. is there.

[Alarm system of the first invention]
(Outline of alarm system)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an outline of an alarm system according to the first invention constituted by a residence alarm and a transfer adapter. As shown in FIG. 1, the alarm system according to the present embodiment is divided into monitoring sections that are rooms of elderly facilities and houses that are known as specific small-scale facilities, and is a radio-linked dwelling that functions as an alarm device. Install the alarm adapters 10-1 to 10-3, and install the transfer adapter 12 that functions as a repeater with signal lines connected to external devices 14 such as fire alarm devices and housing information panels installed outside the system. doing. Hereinafter, the housing alarms 10-1 to 10-3 are referred to as the housing alarms 10 when not distinguished from each other.

  The fire alarms 10-1 to 10-3 observe the temperature or smoke concentration of the monitoring section in which they are installed, and indicate a linkage source when a fire is detected based on the temperature or smoke concentration indicated by the observation result. Output sound.

  In addition, a fire monitoring interlocking group is formed between the residential alarm devices 10-1 to 10-3 and the transfer adapter 12. Communication between the home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-3 and the transfer adapter 12 is a communication path according to a predetermined communication protocol, and communication within the interlocking group is performed by transmitting a signal including a predetermined interlocking group code. Is possible.

  For example, when the home alarm device 10-1 detects a fire and outputs a fire alarm indicating the link source, the fire alarm signal is transmitted to the other home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-3 and the transfer adapter 12, The fire alarm indicating the interlocking destination of the home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-3 having received this is output, and the transfer adapter 12 is caused to display the fire alarm.

  Moreover, when the fire alarm is detected, the residence alarm devices 10-1 to 10-3 stop the alarm output when the fire recovery is detected and transmit the fire recovery interlock signal to other alarm devices to output the fire alarm. When the alarm stop operation is detected during the output of the fire alarm, the alarm output is stopped and the alarm stop interlocking signal is transmitted to another alarm device to stop the alarm output.

(Transfer stop by fire-linked signal)
Further, the home alarm device 10 is provided with an alarm stop switch that also serves as an inspection switch, and the alarm stop switch can be used to set the stop of the transfer adapter 12. For example, when a predetermined operation different from the operation of the alarm stop switch as the inspection switch in a normal state, for example, a long press operation for a predetermined time, is performed, the transfer stop of the transfer adapter 12 is set.

  When a fire is detected in a state where the alarm stop of the alarm adapter 10 is set to the alarm device 10, a fire interlocking signal including an instruction of the set alarm stop is generated and transmitted to other housing alarm devices and the message adapter 12. To do. When the transfer adapter 12 receives a fire interlocking signal including an instruction to stop the transfer from the alarm device 10, the transfer adapter 12 does not output the transfer signal to the external device 14, and does not operate the external device 14. .

  The interlocking stop of the transfer adapter 12 with respect to such a fire interlocking signal is carried out, for example, by installing the residence guard 10 in a warning area such as a cooking room where non-fire reports are likely to occur. This is performed when the device 14 is not desired to operate.

  Further, when the transfer adapter 12 receives a fire-linked signal including an instruction to stop the transfer from the home alarm device 10, the transfer adapter 12 does not perform a transfer output to the external device 14, but an instruction to stop the transfer from the same home alarm device 10. If a fire-linked signal containing a signal is received continuously for a specified time, or if it is received continuously for a specified number of times, it is determined that a fire-linked signal has been received due to an actual fire, and the stop of the message transfer is canceled and the external The device 14 is operated by outputting a transfer signal.

(Transfer stop by inspection interlocking signal)
In addition, when the alarm device 10 performs an inspection operation with the alarm stop switch in the normal state in which the transfer adapter 12 is set to stop the transfer, the alarm device 10 generates an inspection interlocking signal including the set stop instruction of the transfer to generate another signal. It transmits to the home guard and the transfer adapter 12. The other residential alarm device that has received the inspection interlocking signal performs a predetermined interlocking inspection including output of the interlocking alarm, for example.

  In addition, when the transfer adapter 12 receives an inspection interlock signal that does not include an instruction to stop the transfer, the transfer adapter 12 performs a predetermined interlock inspection including the output of the transfer signal to the external device 14, but issues an instruction to stop the transfer. When the inspection interlocking signal is received, a predetermined interlocking inspection is performed so that the transfer signal is not output to the external device 14.

  The interlocking stop of the transfer adapter 12 with respect to such an inspection interlocking signal is performed, for example, when an external device 14 that is not desired to be operated for inspection of the fire alarm device or the like is connected to the transfer adapter 12.

  Further, when the alarm device 10 performs a predetermined single inspection operation with the alarm stop switch, the alarm device 10 performs a predetermined self-inspection without transmitting an inspection interlocking signal.
