Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, in a state where the user holds the test device 3 so that the sensor 2 is housed in the housing portion 301 of the test device 3, a “test start button” (not shown) is pressed. The case where the button is pressed and operated is referred to as “example” and will be described below. In this example, it is determined that the test is started in SA1 of FIG.

  Next, in SA2, the control unit 37 of the test apparatus 3 supplies the detection target of the sensor 2 to the sensor 2. Specifically, a predetermined amount of smoke is output from a gas can which is a smoke generator (not shown) in the supply unit 33 of FIG. The amount of smoke here is arbitrary as long as it is an amount for detecting a fire when the sensor 2 is operating normally, that is, for example, between the accommodation portion 301 and the installation surface W1 in FIG. It is assumed that the smoke concentration in the enclosed space is set to be higher than the fire determination threshold value of the storage unit 25 of the sensor 2 in FIG. Here, in the case of illustration, “10 (% / m)” is stored as the fire determination threshold value in the storage unit 25 of the sensor 2, and by outputting smoke from the gas can at SA 2, the output smoke However, the following description will be made on the assumption that the smoke concentration in the vicinity of the sensor 2 is increased to “12 (% / m)” by being supplied to the inside of the housing portion 301 through the flow path F1 of FIG. .

  Returning to FIG. 4, on the other hand, in SB1, the abnormality detection unit 261 of the sensor 2 determines whether or not a fire has occurred. Specifically, the detection result (that is, the smoke concentration) of the physical quantity detection unit 22 of the sensor 2 of FIG. 1 is acquired, and the fire determination threshold value of the storage unit 25 is acquired, and then the acquired detection is performed. The result is compared with the acquired fire determination threshold value, and it is determined whether or not a fire has occurred based on the comparison result. If the acquired detection result does not exceed the acquired fire determination threshold, it is determined that no fire has occurred without detecting a fire (NO in SB1), and a fire has occurred. SB1 is repeatedly executed until it is determined. If the acquired detection result exceeds the acquired fire determination threshold value, a fire is detected, it is determined that a fire has occurred (YES in SB1), and the process proceeds to SB2.

  In this example, it is assumed that the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 22 of the sensor 2 in FIG. 1 is “10.1 (% / m)”. In this case, “10.1 (% / m)” is acquired as the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 22 of the sensor 2 in FIG. 1, and “10 (% / m)” is set as the fire determination threshold value of the storage unit 25. Then, the acquired detection result and the acquired fire determination threshold value are compared, and the acquired detection result “10.1 (% / m)” is the acquired fire determination threshold value “10”. (% / M) ”, it is determined that a fire has occurred.

  Returning to FIG. 4, in SB2, the control unit 26 of the sensor 2 issues a report in order to output the detection result in SB1. Specifically, a contact output is output from the sensor side terminal of the connection portion 21 of the sensor 2 of FIG. 1 via the line L1, and the indicator lamp 231 of the sensor 2 of FIG. By lighting only (for example, 10 to 15 seconds), it is output by light that it has been determined that a fire has occurred, and an alarm sound is output via the acoustic unit 24 of the sensor 2 in FIG. By outputting, it is output by sound that it has been determined that a fire has occurred.

  Returning to FIG. 4, on the other hand, in SC1, the control unit 16 of the receiver 1 determines whether or not an alarm has been issued. Specifically, the receiver side terminal of the connection unit 11 of the receiver 1 of FIG. 1 is monitored, it is determined whether a contact output is input based on the monitoring result, and a notification is issued based on the determination result. It is determined whether or not. If it is determined that the contact output is not input, it is determined that the alarm is not issued (NO in SC1), and SC1 is repeatedly executed until it is determined that the alarm is issued. If it is determined that the contact output is input, it is determined that the alarm has been issued (YES in SC1), and the process proceeds to SC2. Here, in the example, since the contact output is output via the line L1 in SB2, the contact output is input to the above-mentioned “receiver side terminal for the sensor 2”, and the contact output is input. It is determined that it has been issued, and it is determined that it has been issued.

  Returning to FIG. 4, in SC2, the control unit 16 of the receiver 1 outputs a test result. Specifically, based on the receiver side terminal to which the contact output is input in SC1, the sensor that has been reported using a known method is identified, and then the identified sensor has been reported. 1 through the display unit 13 and the acoustic unit 14. Here, in the case of the example, the sensor 2 is specified as the sensor that has issued the alarm, the “district indicator lamp for the sensor 2” of the display unit 13 is turned on, and the “room A on the first floor” A sound message such as “Sensor has issued” is output from the acoustic unit 14.

  Returning to FIG. 4, on the other hand, in SA3, the state detector 34 of the test apparatus 3 detects the state of the sensor 2, so that the sensor 2 is detected within a predetermined determination time from the start of the supply of smoke. Determine whether a fire has been detected. Specifically, the test apparatus 3 of FIG. 1 is provided with time measuring means such as a counter (not shown), and based on the time measurement result of the time measuring means, the time when SA2 of FIG. 4 is executed (hereinafter referred to as time T1). ) To the current time (hereinafter, time T2), the following determination is performed on the assumption that the elapsed time can be specified. Specifically, the light reception result of the light receiving unit 341 of the test apparatus 3 in FIG. 3 is monitored, and the determination as to whether the indicator lamp 231 of the sensor 2 in FIG. Until the elapsed time from time T1 to time T2 exceeds a predetermined determination time, the measurement is repeated every predetermined measurement time (the predetermined measurement time is shorter than the predetermined determination time, for example, 5 seconds). . When it is determined that the indicator lamp 231 of the sensor 2 in FIG. 3 is lit before the elapsed time from the time T1 to the time T2 exceeds the predetermined determination time, the sensor 2 detects a fire. It is detected that the sensor 2 has detected a fire. Also, if it is not determined that the indicator lamp 231 of the sensor 2 in FIG. 3 is lit before the elapsed time from the time T1 to the time T2 exceeds a predetermined determination time, the sensor 2 detects a fire. It is detected that there is no fire, and it is determined that the sensor 2 has not detected a fire.

  Here, in the example, the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 22 of the sensor 2 in FIG. 1 is “10.1 (% / m) before the elapsed time from the time T1 to the time T2 exceeds the predetermined determination time. It is assumed that the indicator lamp 231 of the sensor 2 in FIG. In this case, it is determined that the sensor 2 has detected a fire.

  Returning to FIG. 4, in SA4, the control unit 37 of the test apparatus 3 acquires the smoke concentration. Specifically, the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 32 is acquired. More specifically, after the light emitting unit 321 and the light receiving unit 322 of FIG. 3 are driven, the physical quantity detection unit 32 is caused to detect the smoke concentration inside the housing unit 301 using a known method, and the physical quantity is detected. After obtaining the detection result of the detection unit 32, the driving of the light emitting unit 321 and the light receiving unit 322 is terminated. Here, in the illustrated example, it is assumed that the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 32 is “10.13 (% / m)”. In this case, “10.13 (% / m)” is acquired as the smoke concentration.

  Returning to FIG. 4, in SA5, the control unit 37 of the test apparatus 3 stores the information. Specifically, the sensor to be tested is specified, and the determination result of SA3 and the acquisition result of SA4 are stored in association with the specified sensor. First, the sensor 2 selected as the test object at the time of starting the test process is specified. Next, if it is determined that a fire has been detected in SA3, “good” is specified as a test result indicating that the operation is normal, while if it is determined that a fire has not been detected in SA3, “No”, which is a test result indicating that the operation is not normal, is specified. Then, the specified test result and the acquisition result of SA4 are associated with the specified sensor 2 and stored in the storage unit 36 of FIG. Here, in the example, it is determined that the fire is detected at SA3, and “10.13 (% / m)” is acquired at SA4. Therefore, the sensor identification information for uniquely identifying the sensor 2 is used. “Good” and “10.13 (% / m)” are stored in association with a certain “ID2”. The “specified test result” here corresponds to the “detection result of the abnormality detection unit 261”, and the “result of acquisition of SA4” corresponds to the “detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 32”.

  Returning to FIG. 4, in SA6, the control unit 37 of the test apparatus 3 outputs the test result. As for the output of the test result, any method can be used as long as at least the detection result of the abnormality detection unit 261 or the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 32 is output, but here, for example, it is stored in SA5 The information is displayed and output via the display means of the output unit 35, is output as audio via the audio output means of the output unit 35, and is output on the paper via the printing means of the output unit 35. Here, in the example, “ID2” that is the sensor identification information of the sensor 2 in the disaster prevention system 100 of FIG. 1 and “room A on the first floor” that is the installation location of the sensor 2 are associated with each other. In the following, it is assumed that the installation location information, which is the stored information, is stored in the storage unit 36 of the test apparatus 3. In this case, first, “installation location information” and “ID2” stored in SA5 are acquired from the storage unit 36, and “1” is set as the installation location of the sensor 2 specified by “ID2” based on the acquired information. Identify room A "on the floor. Next, “good” and “10.13 (% / m)” stored in SA5 are acquired, and the following processing is performed based on the above-described specific result and this acquisition result. Specifically, “good” that is the test result and “10.13 (% / m)” that is the smoke concentration at the time of reporting are associated with “the sensor in room A on the first floor”. , Output as text information via the display means and the printing means, or “the operation of the sensor in the room A on the first floor is normal, and the smoke concentration when it is reported is 10.13 (% / m) Or the like is output from the voice output means. By outputting the information in this way, the test end and the test result can be notified to the user on the test apparatus 3 side. This completes the test process.

(Effect of embodiment)
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the test device 3 that tests the sensor 2 for detecting an abnormality in the monitoring region outputs the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 32, for example, the sensor 2 side Since the test can be performed using the test apparatus 3 while staying at the position (for example, the position where the sensor 2 can be visually recognized in the monitoring area), the work efficiency of performing the test of the sensor 2 can be improved. In addition, for example, since the physical quantity of the detection target around the sensor 2 can be detected and output, the operation of the sensor 2 with respect to the detection target can be accurately grasped, and a useful test can be performed. .

  Further, by providing the supply unit 33 that supplies the detection target of the sensor 2 to the sensor 2, for example, the detection target is supplied to the sensor 2 that is still installed on the installation surface W1. Therefore, it is not necessary to house the sensor 2 in the aforementioned “sensitivity tester”, and the working efficiency of testing the sensor 2 can be further improved.

  In addition, by detecting the physical quantity of the detection target supplied by the supply unit 33 as the physical quantity of the detection target around the sensor 2, for example, it can be confirmed whether or not the test apparatus 3 itself is operating normally. Therefore, the state of the test apparatus 3 itself can be grasped, and the sensor 2 can be appropriately tested.

  In addition, by outputting at least the detection result of the abnormality detection unit 261 of the sensor 2 and the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit 32 of the test apparatus 3, for example, the operation of the sensor 2 with respect to the detection target can be grasped more accurately. can do.

Therefore, the operation of the sensor with respect to the detection target can be grasped more accurately.

  Further, by detecting a state related to detection of abnormality by the sensor based on the light received by the light receiving means, for example, even if there is noise in an environment in which a test is performed using a test apparatus, the state of the sensor Can be prevented from being disturbed by the noise, so that the operation of the sensor can be grasped reliably even in an environment with noise.

[Modifications to Embodiment]
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the specific configuration and means of the present invention can be arbitrarily modified and improved within the scope of the technical idea of each invention described in the claims. Can do. Hereinafter, such a modification will be described.

(About problems to be solved and effects of the invention)
First, the problems to be solved by the invention and the effects of the invention are not limited to the above contents, and may vary depending on the implementation environment and the details of the configuration of the invention. May be solved, or only some of the effects described above may be achieved.

(About distribution and integration)
The above-described configuration is functionally conceptual and does not necessarily need to be physically configured as illustrated. In other words, the specific forms of distribution and integration of the respective units are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and all or a part thereof can be configured to be functionally or physically distributed or integrated in arbitrary units. The “system” in the present application is not limited to one configured by a plurality of devices, but includes one configured by a single device. In addition, the “apparatus” in the present application is not limited to one configured by a single apparatus, but includes one configured by a plurality of apparatuses.

(About the test)
The features of the above embodiment may be applied to any test other than the test (specifically, the operation test) described in the test process of FIG. Specifically, it may be applied to a malfunction test (sensitivity test) or an automatic test.

  Here, the “non-operation test” is the aforementioned supply test, and at least the function of the physical quantity detection unit 22 or the abnormality detection unit 261 of the sensor 2 with respect to the detection target supplied to the periphery of the sensor 2. It is a test for normality, specifically, a test for determining that the sensor 2 does not detect a fire within a predetermined determination time (for example, 1 minute) from the start of supply of smoke. . Specifically, in the case of applying to this “non-operation test”, SA2 and SA5 in FIG. 4 may be changed as follows. Specifically, in SA2 of FIG. 4, when the sensor 2 is operating normally, smoke may be output to the supply unit 33 by an amount that does not detect a fire. More specifically, the supply unit 33 outputs smoke so that the smoke concentration in the space surrounded by the storage unit 301 and the installation surface W1 in FIG. 3 is lower than the fire determination threshold value of the sensor 2. May be. In addition, in SA5 of FIG. 4, contrary to specifying “good” or “no” in the embodiment, when it is determined that a fire is detected in SA3, “No” is specified, and a fire is detected in SA3. “Good” may be specified when it is determined that it has not been detected. Note that the processes other than SA2 and SA5 in FIG. 4 may be appropriately changed or omitted if necessary.

  The “automatic test” is the above-described non-supply test, which is a test performed by a sensor having an automatic test function. A sensor having an automatic test function is referred to as a “sensor with an automatic test function”. The sensor with an automatic test function includes at least the physical quantity detection unit 22 and the abnormality detection unit 261 of the sensor 2 according to the embodiment. The following description will be made assuming that the same configuration is provided. Here, the “automatic test function” is at least an automatic test on the normality of the physical quantity detection unit or the abnormality detection unit of the sensor with an automatic test function, and the specific test content is arbitrary. For example, the following first test or second test may be performed. The “first test” is a test of the physical quantity detection unit. Specifically, the detection result of the physical quantity detection unit is repeatedly acquired every predetermined automatic measurement time (for example, 1 second) and stored in the storage unit. Then, the average value of the stored detection results described above is repeatedly determined every predetermined evaluation time (for example, 10 minutes), and the average value thus determined is a predetermined zero level (for example, 0.1 to 0.2 (% / m) or the like) is a test for confirming whether or not the value deviates beyond a predetermined value (for example, 0.01 (% / m) or the like). The “second test” is a test of the abnormality detection unit. Specifically, after the process of SB1 of FIG. 4 of the embodiment is repeatedly performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 20 times), SB1 This is a test for confirming that the processing results of are the same. Specifically, when applying to this “automatic test”, it is not necessary to supply smoke. Therefore, when SA1 in FIG. 4 is omitted and SA1 is YES, the test apparatus 3 uses any starting method. It may be used to start an automatic test of a sensor with an automatic test function. Specifically, for any starting method, the sensor with the automatic test function and the test apparatus 3 are communicated using a known communication means including a wireless communication circuit, an IC tag, a Hall element, or a light emitting unit and a light receiving unit. A method may be used in which the test apparatus 3 transmits a trigger signal for starting an automatic test to the sensor with an automatic test function using this communication. Further, the test apparatus 3 may acquire and output the result of the automatic test from the sensor with the automatic test function by using communication by the communication means. In such a configuration, by performing an automatic test for normality, for example, a sensor with an automatic test function can be left after transmitting a trigger signal. It is not necessary to stay on the container side, and the work burden on the user can be reduced. The trigger signal here is transmitted so that the propagation distance is extremely short (for example, several centimeters). And because the propagation distance is extremely short, trigger signals are prevented from being transmitted wirelessly against detectors other than those with automatic test functions that are the subject of testing. can do.

  Moreover, you may enable it to select and perform each test demonstrated by the said embodiment and modification. Specifically, a test start button for starting each test (for example, an “operation test start button” for starting an operation test, a non-operation test is performed on the operation unit 31 of the test apparatus 3 of FIG. “Inoperative test start button” for starting, “First automatic test start button” for starting the first test of the automatic test, “Second automatic test for starting the second test of the automatic test” A start button ") may be provided, and when each test start button is operated, a test corresponding to each operated test start button may be performed. In this case, when the first automatic test start button or the second automatic test start button is operated, the test apparatus 3 has an automatic test function to generate a trigger signal for starting the test corresponding to the operated test start button. The sensor with the automatic test function is configured to distinguish the test to be executed based on the trigger signal from the test apparatus 3, and corresponds to each of the operated test start buttons. A test may be performed. Also, in this case, when the operation test start button is operated, each process of the embodiment is performed, and when the inoperative test start button is operated, “ You may perform each process of a "non-operation test". Note that it is possible to allow the user to select and execute only an arbitrary test among the respective tests, instead of all the tests described in the embodiments and modifications. In addition, a plurality of tests described in the embodiments and modifications may be selected so that the selected tests can be executed sequentially.

Here, the “sound receiving unit” is a sound receiving unit that receives sound output from a speaker (not shown) of the acoustic unit 24 of the sensor 2, and the specific type and configuration are arbitrary. It is assumed that a known microphone or the like is used, and a sound receiving portion that is the microphone or the like is provided on the inner side surface of the accommodating portion 301 in FIG. Then, the state detection unit 34 provided with the sound receiving unit may be configured to detect a state related to detection of abnormality by the sensor 2 based on the sound received by the sound receiving unit.
