Description

  The present invention relates to a monitor device and a remote control device.

There are lighting fixtures that must be installed in buildings, offices, stores, and accommodations for disaster prevention purposes. These lighting fixtures are installed in rooms from living rooms, evacuation routes, stores, and common areas in hotels, and emergency lighting fixtures that provide effective illuminance for evacuation to the floor even in the event of a power outage and guide lights with functions that indicate evacuation routes and emergency exit There are two. Emergency lights are lighting fixtures that are specified by the Building Standards Act, and guide lights are evacuation facilities that are specified by the Fire Service Act. They seem to be similar and have different roles and jurisdictions.
These luminaires normally have a battery for charging a battery using a commercial power source and lighting the light source in an emergency (power failure).
It is stipulated in JIS and the technical standards of the Japan Lighting Industry Association that a green indicator lamp (charging monitor) is displayed to indicate that the battery is being charged at normal times.

  On the other hand, in order to confirm the deterioration of the battery over time, the instrument is provided with an inspection switch, and by operating the switch, the light source is turned on using the battery simulating a power failure.

  In recent years, this inspection work has a built-in control device such as a microcomputer, and has an automatic inspection function that automatically operates in a specified time for emergency, an indicator light (lamp monitor) that displays the life and abnormalities of the light source, and inspection. Products that have an indicator lamp (inspection monitor) to indicate that they are in the middle, and those that can be operated by a remote controller (hereinafter referred to as a remote controller) to switch to the inspection operation have been commercialized. Especially for guide lights, there are a charge monitor and a lamp monitor when changing the light source to LED, and those that can be inspected by remote control have become mainstream.

JP 2009-032543 A JP 2011-124031

When recognizing these indicator lights (hereinafter referred to as monitors), the installation height of the appliance is a height that can be recognized by a person if it is a guide light, so no problem has occurred in checking the monitor.
However, in the case of emergency lighting fixtures (hereinafter referred to as emergency lights), the height of installation of the fixtures varies, and it is necessary to install them on high ceilings such as gymnasiums, making it difficult to recognize the monitor.
Also, there is a problem that it is difficult to recognize the monitor when the surroundings are bright.
Means to check the state of the appliance using a remote controller that can communicate bidirectionally instead of checking the monitor has been proposed, but there were problems such as expensive remote control and lighting equipment.

(10) The second DC-DC converter control circuit 30 controls the operation of the second DC-DC converter 29 (outputs an on / off signal).
(11) The output voltage detector 41 detects the output of the second DC-DC converter 29 during emergency lighting.

  The operation of the circuit will be described. The main body of the following operation is the control circuit 27. The control circuit 27 is a microcomputer, for example. When the commercial power supply 21 is supplied, the first DC-DC converter 23 converts the voltage rectified by the rectifier circuit 22 into a voltage sufficient to charge the battery 3. The control power generation circuit 26 further converts the voltage to an appropriate voltage for the control power supply and inputs the voltage as a power supply for the control circuit 27. At this time, the cutoff circuit 47 is turned on (connected) by a signal from the cutoff circuit control unit 46. The converted voltage is input to the charging circuit 25 to charge the battery 3. Note that the default of the cutoff circuit 47 is on. Since the power failure detection circuit 48 that detects the output of the first DC-DC converter 23 detects the voltage, it is determined that there is no power failure. Since the battery 3 is being charged, the charge monitor 11a is lit. Hereinafter, this state is referred to as a charged state.

When the supply of the commercial power supply 21 is stopped (such as a power failure), the output of the first DC-DC converter 23 is lost, so the voltage of the power failure detection circuit 48 becomes zero, and the control circuit 27 determines that there is a power failure. Since there is no output of the first DC-DC converter 23, the battery 3 is not charged, so the charge monitor 11a is turned off.
The battery 3 supplies power as a power source for the control circuit 27 and also supplies power to the second DC-DC converter 29. The second DC-DC converter 29 boosts the voltage to a voltage higher than the voltage of the battery 3, supplies power to the lamp 6, and lights the lamp 6 with a preset current. Turning on the lamp 6 with the battery 3 is called emergency lighting. A lamp current detection circuit 34 for feeding back the current flowing through the lamp 6 to the second DC-DC converter 29 is controlled so that the output of the lamp 6 becomes a target value. The lamp 6 may be turned on by controlling the amount of power supplied.

  When the commercial power supply 21 is restored, the first DC-DC converter 23 is operated again. Therefore, the power failure detection circuit 48 determines that the power failure has been restored, and automatically returns to the charging state of the battery 3 by the charging circuit 25. . Moreover, since the second DC-DC converter control circuit 30 stops the second DC-DC converter 29, the lamp 6 is turned off.

  Next, the inspection operation will be described. The inspection operation is to confirm that the lamp 6 can be reliably lit with the battery 3 and to check whether the lamp can be lit in a legally defined time (general rating is 30 minutes, long-time rating is 60 minutes). Is.

<Inspection operation when the inspection switch 9 is pressed>
When the inspection signal is received by the inspection signal receiving unit 37 from the inspection switch 9, the control circuit 27 turns off the interruption circuit 47 from the interruption circuit control unit 46 as a pseudo power failure mode for inspecting the battery 3, and the battery 3 is charged. Disappear. When the second DC-DC converter control circuit 30 controls the second DC-DC converter 29 to operate, a voltage obtained by boosting the voltage of the battery 3 by the second DC-DC converter 29 is applied to the lamp 6, and the lamp current is increased. The detection circuit 34 controls the lamp current to an appropriate current. At this time, the charging monitor 11a is turned off to stop charging. The inspection signal from the inspection switch 9 performs an inspection operation while the switch is being pressed. By performing the inspection operation for a legally defined time (30 minutes for the general rating and 60 minutes for the long-term rating), it is possible to confirm whether or not the emergency lighting cannot be performed for a predetermined time due to deterioration of the battery.

  When the battery 3 can be lit up for a predetermined time, it is determined that the battery 3 is normal and the charged state is maintained. If the voltage of the battery 3 decreases before reaching the predetermined time, the lamp 6 cannot continue to be lit, and the battery voltage detector 42 determines that the battery 3 is in an abnormal state due to deterioration or the like, the inspection switch 9 When the signal from is cut off, the control circuit 27 turns on the cutoff circuit 47 from the cutoff circuit control unit 46 and charges the battery 3, but the charge monitor 11a performs a blinking operation indicating an abnormal state. This notifies the inspector that the battery 3 has deteriorated.

<Self check operation when the self check switch 10 is turned on>
Next, the case where the self-inspection signal is received by the self-inspection signal receiver 38 from the self-inspection switch 10 will be described.
When the self-inspection signal is received from the self-inspection switch 10, the control circuit 27 confirms whether or not continuous charging is performed for 48 hours or more. If the battery is not continuously charged for 48 hours or more, the charging is continued without shifting to the self-inspection. If the control circuit 27 has been continuously charged for 48 hours or more, the control circuit 27 proceeds to self-inspection. The control circuit 27 enters the pseudo power failure mode for inspecting the battery 3 for a specified time, and when the specified time has elapsed, the control circuit 27 returns to the original charging state, performs charging, and turns on the charge monitor 11a. At this time, if the battery voltage becomes lower than the set voltage before the predetermined time, it is determined that the battery 3 has reached the end of its life, and at that time, the pseudo power failure is stopped, the battery is charged, and the charge monitor 11a blinks. This informs that the battery 3 is at the end of its life. At this time, the battery 3 is continuously charged. The self-inspection signal from the self-inspection switch 10 becomes a self-inspection signal by pressing and holding the self-inspection switch 10 for a long time, and pressing the self-inspection switch 10 again during the self-inspection transition standby state. The operation method for shifting to self-inspection does not matter.

Next, the remote control transmitter 13 will be described with reference to FIG. The remote control transmitter 13 has a structure in which buttons 15 are arranged on a main body 14. The buttons 15 include a confirmation button 15a, a self-inspection button 15b, an interruption button 15c, a manual inspection button 15d, and a monitor bright button 15e.
(1) The confirmation button 15a transmits a signal for confirming whether self-inspection can be performed.
(2) The self-inspection button 15b transmits a signal for starting self-inspection.
(3) The interrupt button 15c transmits a signal to interrupt when interrupting during self-inspection.
(4) As with the inspection switch 9, the manual inspection button 15d transmits a signal for temporarily turning on the emergency lighting when pressed.
(5) When the monitor bright button 15e is pressed when it is desired to brighten the monitors 11, a request radio signal that is a signal for temporarily brightening the monitors 11 is transmitted.

The characters described in these buttons represent an outline of the operation, and the wording may not be left as it is. For example, the “monitor bright” button 15e may be expressed as a “brightness up” button.
Further, the arrangement of the buttons may be other than the arrangement shown in FIG.

  When the user presses the self-inspection button 15b among the buttons 15 of the remote-control transmitter 13, a self-inspection signal is transmitted from the transmission unit 16 of the remote-control transmitter 13. When the receiving circuit 35 receives the self-inspection signal output from the remote control transmitter 13, the control circuit 27 shuts off the output of the first DC-DC converter 23 if it is charged for 48 hours or more, and the shut-off circuit control unit 46. Then, the shutoff circuit 47 is turned off through a pseudo power failure state.

  Thereafter, the emergency light 1 operates in the same manner as the self-inspection when the self-inspection switch 10 is pressed, and notifies the result of the inspection of the battery 3 on the charge monitor 11a.

  When it is desired to interrupt the self-inspection, there are means such as operation of the interruption button 15b, pressing of the inspection switch 9, re-pressing of the self-inspection switch 10, turning off and on of the power source.

  The manual check button 15d is temporarily put into an emergency lighting state, like the check switch 9 of the main body 14. This is a button for transmitting a signal for temporarily turning on the emergency lighting state, and is in the emergency lighting state while the manual inspection button 15d is being pressed. Alternatively, once the manual inspection button 15d is operated, the emergency lighting state is unconditionally 3 seconds to 5 seconds, and the state automatically returns to the charging state.

  When the control circuit 27 determines that the battery is normally charged, the control circuit 27 turns on the charge monitor 11a. When the control circuit 27 determines that the charging is not normally performed, the control circuit 27 turns off the charging monitor 11a and notifies that the charging state is not normal. If the control circuit 27 determines that the battery 3 has reached the end of its life after self-inspection, the control circuit 27 blinks the charge monitor 11a.

  As described above, if the inspection is performed by operating the remote control transmitter 13 at hand, the inspection operation of the emergency light 1 attached at a high place can be performed without climbing a stepladder or the like.

Here, when the mounting location of the emergency light 1 is high, or when the surroundings are bright and it is difficult to understand the state of the charging monitor 11a, the operator presses the monitor bright button 15e.
In that case, the signal receiving unit 36 of the control circuit 27 receives the signal (request wireless signal) via the receiving circuit 35, and the control circuit 27 controls the charge monitor control unit 43 based on the received signal to charge the signal. The monitor 11a is lit brightly for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds).
Therefore, even when the charge monitor 11a is difficult to see, the state of the charge monitor 11a can be reliably confirmed. A simple flowchart is shown in FIG.

  The operation of the monitor bright button 15e may be set to a certain time as described above with the signal from the charge monitor control unit 43 to light up the charge monitor 11a, or while the monitor bright button 15e is pressed. It may be controlled to brighten 11a.

There are several ways to change the brightness of your monitor,
For example, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the brightness changeover switch element 52 is turned on by the monitor brightness control unit 51 for brightening the monitor with respect to each current limiting element 50 of the monitor 11 and the current limiting element 53 is connected in parallel. You can change the brightness by connecting to.

  In terms of circuit, the monitors 11 can be collectively shown in FIG.

  Further, by changing the signal of the charge monitor control unit 43 to an output such as PWM as shown in FIG. 10, the brightness can be changed without connecting any external components. It is generally known as a dimming method by changing the power of the LED to change the brightness of the LED by blinking at a speed invisible to human eyes by PWM control.

  By the way, the remote control transmitter 13 has a confirmation button 15a. The operation by this button is as follows. When performing self-inspection, there is a concern that if the self-inspection is started without charging for a specified time (48 hours for emergency light 1), the amount of charge is insufficient and the emergency lighting time is insufficient. As for the details of the self-inspection function, there is a description that (one company) does not shift to the self-inspection operation when it is not charged for 48 hours or more according to the technical standard JIL5501 of the Japan Lighting Industry Association. A means for confirming whether or not the battery has been charged for 48 hours or more is a confirmation operation by the remote control transmitter 13. When the confirmation button 15 a is operated and a confirmation signal is transmitted from the transmission unit 16, the signal reception unit 36 of the control circuit 27 receives the signal received by the reception circuit 35. The control circuit 27 determines whether or not the battery has been continuously charged for 48 hours by using a built-in timer (not shown). If the battery is continuously charged for 48 hours, the charge monitor 11a and the inspection monitor 11c blink for a certain period of time. Inform them that they are ready for self-inspection. If the battery is not continuously charged for 48 hours, the lamp monitor 11b and the inspection monitor 11c are blinked for a certain period of time to inform that the self-inspection is not ready.

  Even when the confirmation button 15a is operated, if the mounting location of the emergency light 1 is high or the surroundings are bright and the situation of the monitors 11 is difficult to understand, the brightness of the monitors 11 can be increased by pressing the monitor bright button 15e. So that it can be brightened. Specifically, when the signal receiving unit 36 of the control circuit 27 receives a signal (requested radio signal), the control circuit 27 controls the charge monitor control unit 43 based on this signal to brighten the monitors 11. A configuration that can be used. As a result, the battery is charged for 48 hours, and it is possible to confirm whether or not self-inspection is possible. At this time, if not only the charge monitor 11a but also the lamp monitor 11b and the inspection monitor 11c are similarly brightened, the visibility is further increased. In this case, it is possible if the current limiting resistors can be collectively changed as shown in FIG. 9, and control units (charge monitor control unit 43, lamp monitor control unit 44, inspection monitor control unit 45) of each monitor are possible. If the brightness can be adjusted as shown in FIG. 10, the brightness can be easily adjusted for the three monitors 11.

  Alternatively, when the confirmation button 15a is operated, if the monitor 11 is always brighter than normal brightness, it is not necessary to additionally operate the monitor bright button 15e after the confirmation button 15a is operated. Is possible.

  As described above, since the monitor is lit brightly for a predetermined time by pressing the monitor bright button 15e, it is possible to surely check the state of the monitor before the inspection even when the monitor is difficult to see because the height and surroundings are bright.

  Although the emergency light 1 includes a lamp monitor 11b, this monitor is turned on when the lamp 6 is abnormal and serves as a monitor for notifying that the lamp 6 is abnormal. Although this monitor is always lit in the event of an abnormality, the inconvenience of the inspection can be avoided by checking before the inspection or self-inspection whether the lamp 6 cannot be lit up due to an abnormality. With respect to this monitor, even when the height and surroundings are bright and the monitor is difficult to see, the monitor state can be confirmed reliably.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing lighting and blinking states of the monitors 11. Even in the blinking state as shown in the table on the right, when a signal that changes the brightness of the monitor is input from a remote control etc., the brightness of the monitor changes. For example, even an emergency light installed on a high ceiling The monitor can be checked easily. As shown in FIG. 12, the lighting state of the monitors 11 is an example, and other lighting / flashing state patterns may be used. The light color of the monitors 11 may be other colors.

In the emergency light 1 described above, the monitor LED 11, which is the monitor light source, the reception circuit 35, the notification unit 110, and the control circuit 27 constitute the monitor device 100 as described above. In the first embodiment, the notification unit 110 also serves as the monitor LED 11. The monitor device 100 monitors the state of the emergency light 1 that is a device. The monitor LED 11 notifies the state of the emergency light 1 according to the light emission state. The receiving circuit 35 receives from the remote control transmitter 13 a request radio signal requesting what light emitting state the monitor LED 11 is in.
When the receiving circuit 35 receives the request radio signal, the notification unit 110 and the control circuit 27 notify the light emitting state of the monitor LED 11 using the notification unit 110. In the first embodiment, the monitor LED 11 also serves as the notification unit 110. When the receiving circuit 35 receives the request radio signal, the control circuit 27 uses the monitor LED 11 itself to notify the light emission state of the monitor LED 11. In the first embodiment, the control circuit 27 is the notification unit 110. The brightness of the monitor LED 11 is changed. For example, the control circuit 27 makes the brightness of the monitor LED 11 brighter than the current brightness as a change in brightness. In this case, the control circuit 27 has a set time and makes the brightness of the monitor LED 11 brighter than the current brightness during the set time. The set time is, for example, 5 seconds described in the first embodiment.

  According to the monitor device 100 of the first embodiment, the state of the monitor light source indicating the state of the emergency light 1 that is a device can be clearly confirmed.

  When the battery voltage becomes lower than the operating voltage of the control circuit 27 in an emergency, the control circuit 27 and the second DC-DC converter 29 are changed as shown in the circuit configuration block diagram of FIG. A power supply for the control circuit 27 may be secured by installing a third DC-DC converter 28 that can supply power sufficient to cover the power of the control portion.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 4 shows an example of the remote control transmitter 13 having the monitor bright button 15e.
FIG. 14 is a comparative example of the remote control transmitter 13 of the second embodiment described in FIG. 15, but the configuration is the same as that of the remote control transmitter of FIG. An appliance changeover switch 17 is installed on the back side of the main body 14 so that it can be used properly for the emergency light 1 and the guide light. As described above, emergency light 1 and guide light operate in a similar manner but are different products. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the signals transmitted from the remote control transmitter for emergency light and guide light when performing inspection operation. . In other words, if the appliance changeover switch 17 is used for a guide light to check the emergency light 1, the guide light installed in the vicinity accidentally lights up and is not continuously charged for longer than the specified time. There was concern that they could not move to inspection.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating the remote control transmitter 13 according to the first embodiment. In the remote control transmitter 13 according to the second embodiment, in order to eliminate the above-described concern, the surface of the main body 14 is provided with a first arrangement area 14-1 in which a plurality of buttons used for a guide light that is a first device is arranged. And a second arrangement area 14-2 in which a plurality of buttons used for the emergency light as the second device are arranged. By this division, it is possible to avoid erroneous operation of the guide light and emergency light buttons. In the case of a guide light, an unnecessary monitor bright button does not exist, and a necessary button is provided.

  When the operator presses the self-inspection button 15b or operates the confirmation button 15a of the remote control transmitter 13 when the operator presses the self-inspection button 15b of the remote control transmitter 13 and a self-inspection signal is transmitted from the remote control transmitter 13. The same “operation of the monitor 11” is performed. As a result, it is possible to clearly notify the inspector when 48 hours of continuous charging has not been performed, and even when the self-inspection button is accidentally pressed, interruption of continuous charging time due to transition to unnecessary emergency lighting is prevented. be able to.

  By setting the remote control transmitter and the monitor as described above, it is possible to realize the emergency light 1 that can improve the convenience of the inspector and the person who is actually using the scene.
