Description

本発明は、火災が発生した際に、炎、一酸化炭素、又は煙等の人体に悪影響（火傷、一酸化炭素中毒、意識障害等）を及ぼす原因となるものを複合的に検知し、自動的に消火する消火装置に関する。   The present invention automatically detects what causes a bad influence (burn, carbon monoxide poisoning, disturbance of consciousness, etc.) on the human body such as flame, carbon monoxide, or smoke when a fire breaks out. The present invention relates to a fire extinguishing apparatus that extinguishes fires automatically.

消防庁発行の消防白書（平成２６年度版）によると、建物火災の死者の死因は一酸化炭素中毒・窒息が４７９人（３８．２％）で最も多い。一方で火傷による死者も４７２人（３７．６％）とほぼ同数である。
一酸化炭素は、布団等が燻焼するときに発生することが知られている。燻焼火災では、感知器等が通常取り付けられる天井付近の温度があまり高くならない場合がある。このような火災を検知する手段として煙感知器や一酸化炭素濃度により火災を検知する警報器が知られている。
また、火災発生の経緯は、火災が発生する部屋にある可燃物の種類に応じて様々である。例えば非特許文献１においては、特に焼損面積が小さく且つ火災室で死者が発生した火災の典型的な死者発生シナリオが、タバコなどによる燻焼火災と着衣着火による火傷の二つに大別されると分析している。
着衣着火などのように、ライターやコンロなど有炎の種火から衣類などの可燃物に着火し燃え広がった場合には、煙感知器や一酸化炭素濃度で火災を検知する警報器よりも、熱を感知する差動式熱感知器や定温式熱感知器のほうが早期に火災を検出できる可能性がある。
このように、様々なタイプの火災が発生し得る環境下では、熱により火災を検知する感知器、煙により火災を検知する感知器、一酸化炭素により火災を検知する感知器の全てで火災を監視して、火災発生の初期段階で検知して消火動作を行うことが望ましい。 According to the Fire Fighting White Paper (2014 edition) published by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency, 479 people (38.2%) are the most common causes of death from building fires due to carbon monoxide poisoning and suffocation. On the other hand, the number of deaths due to burns is almost the same as 472 (37.6%).
It is known that carbon monoxide is generated when a futon or the like is fired. In a firewood fire, the temperature near the ceiling where detectors are usually installed may not be too high. As means for detecting such a fire, a smoke detector and an alarm device for detecting a fire based on carbon monoxide concentration are known.
In addition, the circumstances of the occurrence of fire vary depending on the type of combustible material in the room where the fire occurs. For example, in Non-Patent Document 1, a typical death occurrence scenario of a fire in which a burnt area is particularly small and a dead person has occurred in a fire room is roughly divided into two types: a fire caused by cigarettes and a burn caused by clothing ignition. It is analyzed.
When igniting and spreading flammable materials such as clothing from a light flame or stove, such as a lighter or stove, it is more heat than a smoke detector or an alarm that detects carbon monoxide. There is a possibility that a differential heat sensor or constant temperature heat sensor that senses fire can detect fire earlier.
In this way, in an environment where various types of fires can occur, all of the sensors that detect fires with heat, the sensors that detect fires with smoke, and the sensors that detect fires with carbon monoxide are used. It is desirable to monitor and detect fire extinguishing action at the initial stage of fire occurrence.

ここで、特許文献１には、火災検出部とガス検出部とを備え、火災検出部とガス検出部からの出力値の組み合わせで異常事態の緊急度をランク付けしようとする火災ガス漏れ警報器が開示されている。
また、特許文献２には、温度センサと一酸化炭素センサと煙センサとを備え、検出された一酸化炭素濃度又は煙濃度と比較する閾値又は継続時間を、検出された温度によって変更することによって誤報を低減しようとする火災警報器が開示されている。 Here, Patent Document 1 includes a fire detection unit and a gas detection unit, and a fire gas leak alarm device that ranks the urgency of abnormal situations by a combination of output values from the fire detection unit and the gas detection unit. Is disclosed.
Patent Document 2 includes a temperature sensor, a carbon monoxide sensor, and a smoke sensor, and changes a threshold value or duration for comparison with the detected carbon monoxide concentration or smoke concentration according to the detected temperature. A fire alarm that attempts to reduce false alarms is disclosed.

しかしながら、火災発生の初期段階で検知しようとして各感知器の閾値を低く設定すると、誤検知の可能性が大きくなる。消火剤が放出されると特にパソコン等の精密機器にダメージを与えるため、誤検知は可能な限り防止する必要がある。
特許文献１の火災ガス漏れ警報器は、複数の検出部のうちの一つの検出部だけが警報を検出した場合には緊急度レベルが低いと判断するものであるが、特に一酸化炭素の濃度が上昇した場合は、それ単独であっても生命の危険に関わる可能性が大きいため、火災検知器として十分ではない。
特許文献２の火災警報器は、検出した一酸化炭素濃度又は煙濃度が閾値を超えて警報が発生してはじめて閾値を変更するものであり、火災警報器が設置された初期には誤報が発生する可能性が大きい。 However, if the threshold value of each sensor is set low in order to detect at the initial stage of the occurrence of a fire, the possibility of false detection increases. When a fire extinguisher is released, it will damage particularly precision equipment such as personal computers, so it is necessary to prevent false detection as much as possible.
The fire gas leak alarm of Patent Document 1 determines that the urgency level is low when only one of the plurality of detection units detects an alarm, but in particular, the concentration of carbon monoxide If it rises, it is not enough as a fire detector because it alone is likely to be life-threatening.
The fire alarm device of Patent Document 2 changes the threshold value only when the detected carbon monoxide concentration or smoke concentration exceeds the threshold value and an alarm is generated, and a false alarm occurs when the fire alarm device is installed. There is a high possibility of

そこで、本発明は、一酸化炭素濃度、煙濃度、及び温度のすべてを監視し、また、誤検知の可能性を低減しつつ、特に一酸化炭素濃度の上昇を早期に検知し消火動作を行う火災消火装置を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention monitors all of the carbon monoxide concentration, smoke concentration, and temperature, and detects an increase in the carbon monoxide concentration at an early stage while performing a fire extinguishing operation while reducing the possibility of erroneous detection. It aims at providing a fire extinguishing device.

閾値設定部２０では、一酸化炭素濃度、煙濃度、及び温度のそれぞれに複数の閾値が設定される。
本実施例においては、複数の閾値として、一酸化炭素濃度には、第１閾値と、第１閾値よりも低い第２閾値と、第２閾値よりも低い起動用閾値が設定され、煙濃度には第３閾値と、第３閾値よりも低い第４閾値が設定され、温度には第５閾値と、第５閾値よりも低い第６閾値が設定される。第１閾値から第６閾値が、判定用閾値である。
閾値設定部２０は、起動部３０及び判定部４０と有線又は無線で接続しており、起動用閾値は起動部３０に送信され、判定用閾値（第１閾値から第６閾値）は判定部４０に送信される。 In the threshold setting unit 20, a plurality of thresholds are set for each of the carbon monoxide concentration, the smoke concentration, and the temperature.
In the present embodiment, as the plurality of threshold values, the carbon monoxide concentration is set with a first threshold value, a second threshold value lower than the first threshold value, and a starting threshold value lower than the second threshold value.

監視部１０の煙濃度検出部１２及び温度検出部１３は、起動部３０からの起動信号を受信すると起動して検出を開始する。このように煙濃度検出部１２及び温度検出部１３は一酸化炭素濃度が所定値に達するまでは動作しないようにすることで、待機電力を抑えることができる。 The activation unit 30 compares the activation threshold set by the threshold setting unit 20 with the carbon monoxide concentration detected by the carbon monoxide concentration detection unit 11.
The activation unit 30 is connected to the determination unit 40 in a wired or wireless manner. As a result of comparison, when it is determined that the state in which the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the activation threshold has continued for a predetermined time, the activation unit 30 and the determination unit An activation signal is transmitted to the unit 40.
When receiving the activation signal from the activation unit 30, the smoke concentration detection unit 12 and the temperature detection unit 13 of the monitoring unit 10 are activated to start detection. Thus, the standby power can be suppressed by preventing the smoke concentration detector 12 and the temperature detector 13 from operating until the carbon monoxide concentration reaches a predetermined value.

判定部４０は、ＬＳＩ（Ｌａｒｇｅ Ｓｃａｌｅ Ｉｎｔｅｇｒａｔｉｏｎ）等の半導体集積回路で構成され、起動部３０からの起動信号を受信すると起動して判定を開始する。このように判定部４０は一酸化炭素濃度が所定値に達するまでは動作しないようにすることで、待機電力を抑えるとともに、稼働時間を減らして長寿命化を図ることができる。

判定部４０が火災が発生したと判定したときに発信部５０は火災信号を発する。火災信号は、消火信号発信部６、警告音出力部又は警告表示部（図示無し）、監視装置Ｃ、及び遠隔監視装置Ｄに送信される。なお、発信部５０と消火信号発信部６を無線方式のネットワーク手段で接続した場合は、機器間の配線が不要となるので配線スペースが少ない場所であっても設置することができる。
火災信号を受信した消火信号発信部６によって消火剤容器３の開放が指示され、消火剤容器３に充填された消火剤が消火剤配管５を経由して放出ノズル４から放出される。
また、制御部２は、消火剤が放出された後も引き続き警戒区域Ｂの監視を行い、発信部５０は、消火剤の放出後に判定部４０が火災が発生していないと判定したときは、火災停止信号を消火信号発信部６に送信する。火災停止信号を受信した消火信号発信部６は、消火剤容器３の閉止を指示する閉止信号を制御弁（図示無し）等に送信する。閉止信号を受信すると、消火剤容器３又は消火剤配管５が閉じられ消火剤の放出が止まる。このように、誤検知の場合や鎮火後には消火剤の放出を止めることで、不要な消火剤放出による警戒区域Ｂ内の人や物へのダメージを防止することができる。 The determination unit 40 is configured by a semiconductor integrated circuit such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration) and receives the activation signal from the activation unit 30 and activates to start the determination. As described above, the determination unit 40 is prevented from operating until the carbon monoxide concentration reaches a predetermined value, so that standby power can be suppressed and the operating time can be reduced to extend the life.
The determination unit 40 compares the determination threshold value among the plurality of threshold values set by the threshold value setting unit 20 with the carbon monoxide concentration, the smoke concentration, or the temperature detected by the monitoring unit 10, and is one of the following: If the result is obtained, it is determined that a fire has occurred.
1) When the state in which the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the first threshold value continues for a predetermined time.
2) When the smoke density exceeds the third threshold for a predetermined time.
3) When the temperature exceeds the fifth threshold for a predetermined time.
4) A state where the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the second threshold continues for a predetermined time, a state where the smoke concentration exceeds the fourth threshold continues for a predetermined time, and a state where the temperature exceeds the sixth threshold. When it lasts for a predetermined time.
“Continuous time” means that the carbon monoxide concentration, smoke concentration, or temperature is determined to have continuously exceeded the threshold, and the threshold has been exceeded a plurality of times during the predetermined time. This includes the case where it is determined that the number of times exceeds the predetermined reference number.
When the determination unit 40 determines that a fire has occurred, the transmission unit 50 issues a fire signal. The fire signal is transmitted to the fire extinguishing signal transmission unit 6, the warning sound output unit or the warning display unit (not shown), the monitoring device C, and the remote monitoring device D. In addition, when the transmission part 50 and the fire extinguishing signal transmission part 6 are connected by the network means of a radio system, since wiring between apparatuses becomes unnecessary, it can install even in a place with little wiring space.
The fire extinguisher container 3 is instructed to open the fire extinguisher container 3 by the fire extinguishing signal transmitter 6 that has received the fire signal, and the fire extinguisher filled in the fire extinguisher container 3 is discharged from the discharge nozzle 4 via the fire extinguishing agent pipe 5.
In addition, the control unit 2 continues to monitor the alert area B even after the extinguishing agent is released, and when the transmission unit 50 determines that the fire does not occur after the extinguishing agent is released, A fire stop signal is transmitted to the fire extinguishing signal transmitter 6. The fire extinguishing signal transmitter 6 that has received the fire stop signal transmits a closing signal for instructing closing of the extinguishing agent container 3 to a control valve (not shown) or the like. When the closing signal is received, the extinguishing agent container 3 or the extinguishing agent pipe 5 is closed, and the discharge of the extinguishing agent is stopped. Thus, in the case of erroneous detection or after extinguishing a fire, by stopping the release of the extinguishing agent, it is possible to prevent damage to people and objects in the alert area B due to unnecessary extinguishing of the extinguishing agent.

ここで、図４は同消火装置における閾値と火災検知時間の関係を示す図であり、図４（ａ）は一酸化炭素濃度と火災検知時間の関係を示し、図４（ｂ）は煙濃度と火災検知時間の関係を示し、図４（ｃ）は温度と火災検知時間の関係を示している。縦軸が一酸化炭素濃度、煙濃度、又は温度であり、横軸が火災検知時間である。なお、火災検知時間とは、火災が発生した際に消火装置が当該火災を検知するまでの時間である。
図４に示すように、閾値を低く設定するほど火災検知時間を短くすることができるが、閾値を低く設定すると誤検知の可能性が高まる。そこで本実施例のように、一酸化炭素濃度の判定用閾値として第１閾値と、第１閾値よりも低い第２閾値を設け、第２閾値は煙濃度と温度の情報を組み合わせて火災判断を行うことで、一酸化炭素濃度の判定用閾値を低く設定した場合の誤検知増加を防止することができる。したがって、一酸化炭素濃度の判定用閾値を低く設定することができ、熱があまり高くならず一酸化炭素濃度が高まる燻焼火災のような火災であっても早期に検知して自動的に消火することができる。 Here, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the relationship between the threshold value and the fire detection time in the fire extinguishing apparatus, FIG. 4 (a) shows the relationship between the carbon monoxide concentration and the fire detection time, and FIG. 4 (b) is the smoke concentration. FIG. 4C shows the relationship between temperature and fire detection time. The vertical axis represents carbon monoxide concentration, smoke concentration, or temperature, and the horizontal axis represents fire detection time. In addition, fire detection time is time until a fire extinguishing apparatus detects the said fire when a fire occurs.
As shown in FIG. 4, the fire detection time can be shortened as the threshold value is set lower, but the possibility of erroneous detection increases when the threshold value is set lower. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the first threshold value and the second threshold value lower than the first threshold value are provided as the carbon monoxide concentration determination threshold value, and the second threshold value is used to determine the fire by combining the smoke concentration and temperature information. By doing so, it is possible to prevent an increase in false detection when the threshold value for determining the carbon monoxide concentration is set low. Therefore, the threshold for determining the carbon monoxide concentration can be set low, and even a fire such as a roasting fire in which the heat is not so high and the carbon monoxide concentration is increased is detected early and automatically extinguished. can do.

図３のブロック図において、判定記憶部６０は、判定部４０が火災が発生していないと判定したときの判定に使用した監視部１０からの検出信号の大きさと時刻に関するデータを記憶する。
判定記憶部６０に記憶されたデータは、閾値設定部２０に送信される。
閾値設定部２０は受信したデータをもとに閾値を変更する。
このように判定結果を記憶し、判定結果に応じて閾値を変更する学習機能を持たせることで、火災検知の精度を向上することができる。 In the block diagram of FIG. 3, the determination storage unit 60 stores data related to the magnitude and time of the detection signal from the monitoring unit 10 used for determination when the determination unit 40 determines that no fire has occurred.
The data stored in the determination storage unit 60 is transmitted to the threshold setting unit 20.
The threshold setting unit 20 changes the threshold based on the received data.
Thus, the accuracy of fire detection can be improved by storing the determination result and providing a learning function for changing the threshold according to the determination result.

判定記憶部６０に記憶された、判定部４０が火災が発生していないと判定したときの判定に使用した監視部１０からの検出信号の大きさと時刻に関するデータは、ノイズ除去部７０にも送信される。
ノイズ除去部７０は、判定記憶部６０からのデータを記憶するノイズ記憶部７１を備える。
ノイズ除去部７０は、ノイズ記憶部７１に記憶されたデータに基づいてノイズを判断し、監視部１０から起動部３０及び判定部４０に送信される検出信号からノイズを除去する。
すなわち、ある時間帯において一酸化炭素濃度が起動用閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したため判定部４０が起動して火災発生の判定を開始したが、判定の結果が非火災（火災が発生していない）だった場合は、ノイズ除去部７０は当該時間帯における背景ノイズが大きいと判断し、当該時間帯における一酸化炭素濃度検出部１１から起動部３０への検出信号からその背景ノイズの大きさの分を除去する。このことによって起動部３０の誤判定を低減し、判定部４０が不要に起動することを防止できる。
また、ある時間帯において判定部４０が起動して判定を開始し、第２閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したが、煙濃度と第４閾値との比較及び温度と第６閾値との比較によって判断部４０が非火災と判定した場合も、ノイズ除去部７０は当該時間帯における背景ノイズが大きいと判断し、当該時間帯における監視部１０から判定部４０への検出信号からその背景ノイズの大きさの分を検出信号から除去する。このことによって判定部４０の誤判定を低減し、火災の誤検知を防止し不要な消火動作を防止できる。
このように、本実施例の消火装置は背景ノイズを学習し、起動部３０及び判定部４０は、ノイズ除去部７０でノイズが除去された後の正しい検出信号に基づいて起動用閾値又は判定用閾値との比較を行うので、誤検知を低減して火災検知の精度を向上させることができる。 Data relating to the magnitude and time of the detection signal from the monitoring unit 10 used for determination when the determination unit 40 determines that no fire has occurred, which is stored in the determination storage unit 60, is also transmitted to the noise removal unit 70. Is done.
The noise removal unit 70 includes a noise storage unit 71 that stores data from the determination storage unit 60.
The noise removal unit 70 determines noise based on the data stored in the noise storage unit 71 and removes noise from the detection signal transmitted from the monitoring unit 10 to the activation unit 30 and the determination unit 40.
That is, since the state in which the carbon monoxide concentration exceeded the start threshold for a certain period of time has continued for a predetermined time, the determination unit 40 has started and the determination of the occurrence of a fire has started, but the determination result is a non-fire (a fire has occurred. The noise removal unit 70 determines that the background noise is large in the time period, and the magnitude of the background noise is detected from the detection signal from the carbon monoxide concentration detection unit 11 to the activation unit 30 in the time period. Remove the part. This can reduce erroneous determination of the activation unit 30 and prevent the determination unit 40 from being activated unnecessarily.
In addition, the determination unit 40 is activated and starts determination in a certain time period, and the state in which the second threshold value is exceeded continues for a predetermined time, but the comparison between the smoke concentration and the fourth threshold value and the comparison between the temperature and the sixth threshold value. Even when the determination unit 40 determines non-fire, the noise removal unit 70 determines that the background noise in the time zone is large, and the background noise is detected from the detection signal from the monitoring unit 10 to the determination unit 40 in the time zone. The size is removed from the detection signal. As a result, erroneous determination of the determination unit 40 can be reduced, erroneous detection of fire can be prevented, and unnecessary fire extinguishing operation can be prevented.
Thus, the fire extinguishing apparatus of the present embodiment learns background noise, and the activation unit 30 and the determination unit 40 are based on the correct detection signal after the noise is removed by the noise removal unit 70, or for the activation threshold or determination. Since the comparison with the threshold value is performed, the false detection can be reduced and the accuracy of the fire detection can be improved.

異常検知部８０は、検知した異常の内容を診断する異常診断部８１を備える。
異常診断部８１は、例えば、監視部１０からの検出信号が所定時間継続して検出されない場合は、監視部１０が故障したと判断する。異常診断部８１の診断結果はネットワーク手段９０を介して警戒区域２の外に設置された監視装置Ｃ又は遠隔監視装置Ｄに伝送される。
各種の感知器を含む消防の用に供する機器や設備は、消防法の定めるところにより定期的に点検が実施されているものの、次の点検までに故障が発生した場合には故障に気付かず火災発生時に性能を発揮できないおそれがある。そこで、本実施例のように消火装置の状態を常時監視することで、異常が発生した場合には迅速に対応することができる。 The abnormality detection unit 80 includes an abnormality diagnosis unit 81 that diagnoses the content of the detected abnormality.
For example, when the detection signal from the monitoring unit 10 is not detected for a predetermined time, the abnormality diagnosis unit 81 determines that the monitoring unit 10 has failed. The diagnosis result of the abnormality diagnosis unit 81 is transmitted to the monitoring device C or the remote monitoring device D installed outside the warning area 2 via the network unit 90.
Equipment and facilities used for firefighting, including various sensors, are regularly inspected as required by the Fire Service Law. If a failure occurs before the next inspection, the fire will not be noticed and the fire will not be noticed. There is a possibility that performance cannot be demonstrated when it occurs. Therefore, by constantly monitoring the state of the fire extinguishing device as in the present embodiment, it is possible to respond quickly when an abnormality occurs.

図６は本発明の他の実施例による消火装置における閾値と火災検知時間の関係を示す図、図７は同消火装置の判定部の処理流れを示すフロー図である。なお、上述の実施例と同一機能手段および同一機能部には同一符号を付して説明を省略する。
本実施例による消火装置は、上記した実施例と基本構成は同じであるが、判定用閾値をさらに多く備える点が異なる。 FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a relationship between a threshold value and a fire detection time in a fire extinguishing apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. The same functional means and the same functional units as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
The fire extinguishing apparatus according to the present embodiment has the same basic configuration as the above-described embodiment, but is different in that it includes more determination thresholds.

閾値設定部２０では、一酸化炭素濃度、煙濃度、及び温度のそれぞれに複数の閾値が設定される。
本実施例においては、複数の閾値として、一酸化炭素濃度には、第１閾値と、第１閾値よりも低い第２閾値と、第２閾値よりも低い起動用閾値と、第１閾値よりも低く第２閾値よりも高い第７閾値と、第７閾値よりも低く第２閾値よりも高い第８閾値が設定され、煙濃度には第３閾値と、第３閾値よりも低い第４閾値と、第３閾値よりも低く第４閾値よりも高い第９閾値が設定され、温度には第５閾値と、第５閾値よりも低い第６閾値と、第５閾値よりも低く第６閾値よりも高い第１０閾値が設定されている。第１閾値から第１０閾値は、判定用閾値である。
閾値設定部２０は、起動部３０及び判定部４０と有線又は無線で接続しており、起動用閾値は起動部３０に送信され、判定用閾値（第１閾値から第１０閾値）は判定部４０に送信される。 In the threshold setting unit 20, a plurality of thresholds are set for each of the carbon monoxide concentration, the smoke concentration, and the temperature.
In the present embodiment, as the plurality of threshold values, the carbon monoxide concentration includes a first threshold value, a second threshold value lower than the first threshold value, a startup threshold value lower than the second threshold value, and a first threshold value. A seventh threshold value that is lower and higher than the second threshold value, and an eighth threshold value that is lower than the seventh threshold value and higher than the second threshold value are set. The smoke concentration has a third threshold value, and a fourth threshold value that is lower than the third threshold value. The ninth threshold value is set lower than the third threshold value and higher than the fourth threshold value, the temperature is set to the fifth threshold value, the sixth threshold value lower than the fifth threshold value, and lower than the fifth threshold value and higher than the sixth threshold value. A high tenth threshold is set. The first threshold value to the tenth threshold value are determination threshold values.
The threshold setting unit 20 is connected to the activation unit 30 and the determination unit 40 in a wired or wireless manner, the activation threshold is transmitted to the activation unit 30, and the determination threshold (first to tenth thresholds) is determined by the determination unit 40. Sent to.

判定部４０は、ＬＳＩ（Ｌａｒｇｅ Ｓｃａｌｅ Ｉｎｔｅｇｒａｔｉｏｎ）等の半導体集積回路で構成され、起動部３０からの起動信号を受信すると起動し、判定を開始する。このように判定部４０は一酸化炭素濃度が所定値に達するまでは動作しないようにすることで、待機電力を抑えるとともに、稼働時間を減らして長寿命化を図ることができる。
判定部４０は、以下のいずれかの結果を得た場合には火災が発生したと判定する。
１）一酸化炭素濃度が第１閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したとき。
２）煙濃度が第３閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したとき。
３）温度が第５閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したとき。
４）一酸化炭素濃度が第２閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続し、かつ、煙濃度が第４閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続し、かつ、温度が第６閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したとき。
５）一酸化炭素濃度が第７閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続し、かつ、煙濃度が第９閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したとき。
６）一酸化炭素濃度が第８閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続し、かつ、温度が第１０閾値を超えた状態が所定時間継続したとき。 The determination unit 40 is configured by a semiconductor integrated circuit such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration), and is activated when receiving an activation signal from the activation unit 30 and starts determination. As described above, the determination unit 40 is prevented from operating until the carbon monoxide concentration reaches a predetermined value, so that standby power can be suppressed and the operating time can be reduced to extend the life.
The determination unit 40 determines that a fire has occurred when any of the following results is obtained.
1) When the state in which the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the first threshold value continues for a predetermined time.
2) When the smoke density exceeds the third threshold for a predetermined time.
3) When the temperature exceeds the fifth threshold for a predetermined time.
4) A state where the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the second threshold continues for a predetermined time, a state where the smoke concentration exceeds the fourth threshold continues for a predetermined time, and a state where the temperature exceeds the sixth threshold. When it lasts for a predetermined time.
5) When the state where the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the seventh threshold continues for a predetermined time and the state where the smoke concentration exceeds the ninth threshold continues for a predetermined time.
6) When the state in which the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the eighth threshold continues for a predetermined time, and the state in which the temperature exceeds the tenth threshold continues for a predetermined time.

ここで、図６は同消火装置における閾値と火災検知時間の関係を示す図であり、図６（ａ）は一酸化炭素濃度と火災検知時間の関係を示し、図６（ｂ）は煙濃度と火災検知時間の関係を示し、図６（ｃ）は温度と火災検知時間の関係を示している。縦軸が一酸化炭素濃度、煙濃度、又は温度であり、横軸が火災検知時間である。
図６に示すように、閾値を低く設定するほど火災検知時間を短くすることができるが、閾値を低く設定すると誤検知の可能性が高まる。そこで本実施例のように、一酸化炭素濃度の判定用閾値として第１閾値と、第１閾値よりも低い第２閾値を設け、第２閾値は煙濃度と温度の情報を組み合わせて火災判断を行うことで、一酸化炭素濃度の判定用閾値を低く設定した場合の誤検知増加を防止することができる。したがって、一酸化炭素濃度の判定用閾値を低く設定することができ、熱があまり高くならず一酸化炭素濃度が高まる燻焼火災のような火災であっても早期に検知することができる。また、閾値の数と判定の組み合わせを増やすことによって、より誤検知を低減しつつ火災を早期検知して自動的に消火することができる。 Here, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the threshold value and the fire detection time in the fire extinguishing apparatus, FIG. 6 (a) shows the relationship between the carbon monoxide concentration and the fire detection time, and FIG. 6 (b) is the smoke concentration. FIG. 6C shows the relationship between temperature and fire detection time. The vertical axis represents carbon monoxide concentration, smoke concentration, or temperature, and the horizontal axis represents fire detection time.
As shown in FIG. 6, the fire detection time can be shortened as the threshold value is set lower. However, if the threshold value is set lower, the possibility of erroneous detection increases. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, the first threshold value and the second threshold value lower than the first threshold value are provided as the carbon monoxide concentration determination threshold value, and the second threshold value is used to determine the fire by combining the smoke concentration and temperature information. By doing so, it is possible to prevent an increase in false detection when the threshold value for determining the carbon monoxide concentration is set low. Therefore, the threshold value for determining the carbon monoxide concentration can be set low, and even a fire such as a smoldering fire in which the heat is not so high and the carbon monoxide concentration is increased can be detected early. Further, by increasing the number of thresholds and combinations of determinations, it is possible to detect fire early and automatically extinguish it while further reducing false detection.
