Description

  The present invention relates to an alarm system, an alarm linkage method, an emergency alarm device, and an alarm device in which an alarm device that detects an alarm such as a fire or a gas leak and an emergency alarm device that outputs an emergency earthquake warning or an earthquake early warning are linked. .

  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.

  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. Here, the emergency warning device 25 corresponds to the earthquake warning device described in the claims.

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

  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 resident guard 10 that has received the event signal effectively performs relay transmission of the event signal as necessary.

  Self-events detected by the home alarm include not only the above-mentioned fire occurrence but also fire recovery, alarm stop operation, etc., emergency earthquake warning, tsunami warning, etc., and from other alarm devices and devices Various event signal effective 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 an alarm display accompanying the alarm of the home alarm device 10-2 which became the interlocking | linkage origin, LED is lighted, for example. 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 the earthquake early warning signal and the tsunami warning signal by the emergency earthquake information broadcast transmitted from the broadcasting facility as its own event, and also outputs the earthquake alert and tsunami alert to the home police unit 10. A device event signal indicating is transmitted. Events detected by the emergency warning device 25 include the operation of an alarm stop switch and a test switch of the operation unit, the effective reception of an event signal from the residential alarm 10 in addition to the reception of the above-mentioned emergency earthquake warning signal and tsunami warning signal. is there.

  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. The emergency warning device 25 analyzes the signal of the first chime sound, detects the earthquake early warning signal, and switches from the reception standby state to the reproduction operation, for example, “Earthquake early 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, it corresponds to the tsunami warning signal by the second type start signal in the emergency earthquake early warning and the emergency warning broadcast, and the emergency warning by the first type start signal is excluded, but it is necessary. It may be added accordingly.

  When the emergency warning device 25 is installed, the residential alarm device 10 of the present embodiment receives an earthquake event notification from the emergency warning device 25 when it effectively receives a device event signal indicating an early earthquake early warning notification (hereinafter referred to as “earthquake notification”). A voice message indicating this is output and an alarm is displayed. As a voice message indicating an earthquake notification, for example, “PPP emergency earthquake early warning. Be wary of strong shaking” is output. The voice message indicating the earthquake notification is output immediately after that or repeatedly during a message output, and therefore is repeatedly output a predetermined number of times (including once) or repeatedly for a predetermined time.

  In addition, when the device alarm signal indicating the tsunami notification is effectively received from the emergency warning device 25, the residential alarm 10 outputs a voice message indicating the tsunami notification for a predetermined time or outputs a predetermined number of times (including one). 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.

  In addition, 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 outputs a fire alarm sound by a voice message indicating that the fire is detected by the home alarm device. The fire warning sound of the emergency warning device 25 is, for example, a voice message such as “Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated”. Further, the emergency warning device 25 displays a fire by turning on, blinking, or blinking a warning light together with a fire warning sound.

  With such a fire alarm function of the emergency alarm device 25, the emergency alarm device 25 is used as a device that plays the role of a fire receiver in the fire alarm system using the interlocked house alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6. It is possible to collectively manage the fire monitoring status of the home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6.

  In addition, the emergency alarm device 25 is provided with a test switch. When the test switch is operated, the emergency alarm device 25 is provided with an additional function, for example, a fire alarm function test, that is, a fire alarm test, for example, “Ppy fire alarm test. ”Is output once or a plurality of times and the warning lamp is turned on, for example, and a device event signal indicating an earthquake notification test is transmitted to the residential alarm 10.

  Upon receiving the device event signal indicating the earthquake alarm test from the emergency alarm device 25, the Dwelling Guard 10 can generate a voice message indicating the earthquake alarm test, such as “Peep Emergency Earthquake Warning Test” or “Phi Tsunami Warning Test”. A voice message is repeatedly output a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined time, and an alarm is displayed by turning on, blinking, or blinking the LED.

  Moreover, when the emergency alarm device 25 is installed in the same place as any of the residential alarms 10, emergency earthquake alerts are output from both voices, making it difficult to hear. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the prohibition mode for prohibiting the output of the earthquake early warning and the tsunami warning can be set in the home alarm device 10 by the operation of the mode switch, and the same place as the emergency warning device 25 (the alarm and notification range is set). By setting the prohibit mode for residential alarms installed in overlapping locations), even if a device event signal indicating earthquake notification or tsunami notification is received from the emergency warning device 25, an emergency earthquake warning or tsunami warning is received. The information indicating is not output.

  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 and the like, the emergency alert 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. It is effective to prevent 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.

  In addition, you may make it perform the same operation | movement as the monitoring light 110 and the warning light 108 of FIG. 3 (A) by using 2-color LED as LED110.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of 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 residential alarm 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 or the like is performed.

  In the memory 32, a serial number 48, which is a serial number indicating the order of the event signals, a transmission source code 50, and an interlocking group that performs interlocking alarms with the home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-6 installed in the house as shown in FIG. The group code | symbol 52 for comprising 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 1001 = earthquake notification test.

  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 detection signal corresponding to the smoke density. As described above, instead of the smoke detector 16, the sensor unit 34 detects a temperature due to a fire and outputs a detection signal, and detects a change in other physical phenomenon caused by the fire and outputs a detection signal. Various elements and sensors may be provided.

  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.

  The alarm stop switch 20 functions as an inspection switch in a normal state in which an alarm indicating the interlock source or the interlock destination is not performed. When the alarm stop switch 20 is operated in this state, a predetermined self-inspection operation is executed and the notification unit 36 is operated. A voice message indicating the inspection result is output from the speaker 56.

  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. If the failure state has been resolved at this time, for example, a message such as “The failure has been resolved” may be output and the process may proceed to the failure stop process.

  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 an earthquake notification is received from the emergency warning device 25, information output indicating an emergency earthquake warning from the notification unit 36 is not performed.

  Using this function, for example, when the house alarm 10 is also installed in the room where the emergency alarm device 25 is installed, or when the plurality of house alarms 10 are installed in the same room, etc. If necessary, information can be output only to a predetermined device in the room, so that it is possible to avoid redundant information output by multiple devices. An effect such as suppression can be obtained.

  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 abnormality notification processing unit 64, an earthquake notification processing unit 65, and an earthquake notification test unit 66 as functions realized by executing the program. It has been.

  Here, the abnormality notification processing unit 64 detects the fire in the warning area and realizes the original fire notification function (abnormality notification function) for notifying the fire, and the earthquake notification processing unit 65 is transmitted from the emergency warning device 25. An earthquake notification function provided as an additional function for performing an earthquake notification based on an event signal is realized.

  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 receives 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 from the antenna 31 via the reception circuit 44 and the reception processing unit 62. Detect presence / absence and event contents.

  The transmission processing unit 60 detects a fire from the detection signal output of the sensor unit 34 by the event detection unit 58, each instruction input by the operation unit 38, and a fire in which the detection signal output of the sensor unit 34 is reduced to eliminate the fire detection state. When an event of its own such as recovery is detected, an event signal indicating the detected event content is transmitted from the antenna 31 to the linked house resident alarm or emergency warning device 25 via the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless communication unit 30. . In addition, the transmission processing unit 60 relays and transmits the event signal from the home alarm device 10 or the device event signal from the emergency warning device 25 as necessary.

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

  Here, the types of device event signals transmitted from the emergency warning device 25 include a device event signal indicating earthquake notification, a device event signal indicating tsunami notification, a device event signal indicating an earthquake notification test, and a device event indicating alarm stop. There are signals etc.

  The abnormality notification 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, outputs an alarm sound indicating the interlocking source from the speaker 56, and drives the LED 22 to turn on, for example. Then, an alarm indicating the interlocking source is displayed, and an event signal indicating a 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 abnormality notification processing unit 64 indicates that fact from the event detection unit 58. Based on the received signal, 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 turned on to indicate the link source. The alarm display control is performed, and further, an event signal indicating a fire is transmitted from the antenna 31 to the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 from the antenna 31 by the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless communication unit 30 via the transmission processing unit 60 and the transmission circuit 42. It is transmitted to the emergency warning device 25.

  When the emergency warning device 25 receives an event signal indicating a fire transmitted from the home alarm device 10-1, the emergency warning device 25 sends a voice message such as “Please confirm that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated” from the speaker. A fire alarm sound is output.

  In addition, the abnormality notification processing unit 64 receives an event signal indicating a fire from any one of the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 by the reception circuit 44 of the wireless communication unit 30, and decodes it by the reception processing unit 62. When effective reception is detected, an alarm sound by a voice message indicating the link 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 interlocking destination.

  The event detection unit 58 detects a low battery and a fault sensor fault as faults. 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 34, 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 abnormality notification processing unit 64 detects 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. Is output.

  In addition, the abnormality notification 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. In addition, 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 abnormality notification processing unit 64 receives the effective reception of an event signal indicating a sensor failure or a low battery failure from any of the other home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 via the reception circuit 44 and the reception processing unit 62. If detected, 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.

  In addition, when the event detection unit 58 detects a sensor failure, the abnormality notification processing unit 64 uses, for example, a “pick failure” voice message as a sensor failure alarm sound indicating the link source (failure source) from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36. The LED 22 is blinked, for example, and then the voice message “pick failure” is output once every fixed time, and the display output by the LED 22 is also periodically repeated.

  In addition, the abnormality notification 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 warning device 25 via the transmission processing unit 60 and the transmission circuit 42, thereby interlocking. A sensor failure alarm indicating the destination 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 detection unit 58 detects a low battery failure, the abnormality notification processing unit 64 uses, for example, “Battery is dead” as a low battery failure alarm sound indicating the link source (failure source) from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36. The voice message is repeatedly output and the LED 22 blinks, for example, and then the voice message “Pattern is exhausted” is output once every fixed time, and the display output by the LED 22 is also performed periodically. repeat.

  In addition, the abnormality notification processing unit 64 transmits an event signal indicating a low battery failure to the other dwelling devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency warning device 25, thereby generating a low battery failure warning indicating the interlock destination. Voice messages such as “Beep alarm is out of battery” or “Beep alarm is out of battery” and a flashing display different from the interlock source.

  Further, the abnormality notification 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 other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6. When an event signal indicating an alarm stop from the emergency alarm device 25 or the effective reception of the device event signal 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.

  Further, when the abnormality notification 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 sound indicating the own interlocking source is generated. Stop the alarm after continuing the fault display for a predetermined time, and further stop the alarm signal 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. Is transmitted, and the failure alarm sound and the failure display of the residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-6 and the emergency warning device 25 are stopped.

  When the event detection unit 58 detects that the apparatus 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 65 is used as information indicating the earthquake notification. For example, a voice message such as “Peep Earthquake Early 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.

  In addition, the earthquake notification processing unit 65, when the event detection unit 58 detects that the device event signal indicating the tsunami notification is received from the emergency alarm device 25 via the reception circuit 44 and the reception processing unit 62, the 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.

  When the event detection unit 58 detects that the device event signal indicating the earthquake notification test is effectively received from the emergency warning device 25, the earthquake notification test unit 66, for example, “Peep emergency earthquake warning test” or “Phi Tsunami warning”. A voice message such as “This is a test” is output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the LED 22 is turned on, blinks, or blinks.

  Furthermore, the earthquake early warning processing unit 65 effectively receives the device event signal indicating the earthquake notification or the tsunami notification from the emergency warning device 25 when the prohibit mode for prohibiting the earthquake notification is set by setting the mode switch 21 to be turned on. Even if the event detection unit 58 detects the presence, the voice message indicating the earthquake notification or tsunami notification is not output.

  The voice message output prohibition by the mode switch 21 may be set for the earthquake notification test. Even if the device event signal indicating the earthquake notification test is effectively received from the emergency alarm device 25, the voice message indicating the earthquake notification test is set. Is not output.

  In addition, when a mode switch for setting the prohibit mode is provided in the operation unit 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 emergency earthquake warning and emergency earthquake warning 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.

The processor 68 has functions realized by executing a program as an analysis unit 92, a device event detection unit 94, an earthquake notification control unit 96, a transmission control unit 98, a reception control unit 100, and an abnormality notification. A control unit 102 and an abnormality notification test unit 104 are provided.

  Here, the speaker 74 and the display unit 76 constitute a notification unit of the emergency warning device 25. In addition, the analysis unit 92 and the earthquake notification control unit 96 realize the original earthquake notification function, and the abnormality notification control unit 102 receives an event signal indicating a fire transmitted from the resident alarm 10 and notifies the fire. A fire alarm function (abnormality alarm function) provided as a function is realized. Further, the FM receiver 70 corresponds to the broadcast receiver in the claims.
