Abstract

To prevent a blackout (huge power outage) with a sharp decrease of a power supply amount by effectively utilizing a standby power source with a battery when an earthquake occurs.SOLUTION: A fire warning facility 10 performs: monitoring a fire by connecting fire sensors 15 to signal lines 14-1, 14-2 pulled out of an R-type receiver 12; operating by receiving power supply from a commercial AC power source at normal time; and operating by performing changeover into a standby power source of a battery 50 when the commercial AC power source is interrupted. The R-type receiver 12 includes: an earthquake detector 42 for detecting an earthquake; and a frequency drop detector 44 for detecting a frequency drop in the commercial AC power source. A power demand control section 56 of the R-type receiver 12 allows the facility to be operated by performing changeover from the commercial AC power source into the standby power source based on an earthquake detection signal and a frequency drop detection signal, thereby reducing a power demand amount of the commercial AC power source.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

本発明は、受信機から引き出された信号回線に火災感知器を接続して火災を監視し、商用交流電源の停電時にバッテリーによる予備電源に切替えて動作する火災報知設備に関する。 The present invention relates to a fire alarm system that operates by connecting a fire detector to a signal line drawn from a receiver to monitor a fire and switching to a backup power source using a battery in the event of a power failure of a commercial AC power source.

従来、震度5を超えるような揺れの大きな地震が発生した場合、北海道、東北、関東、中部、近畿、中国、四国、九州とった電力供給地域の全域が停電するブラックアウト(大停電)が問題となっている。 Conventionally, when a large earthquake with a seismic intensity of over 5 occurs, the problem is blackout (power outage) in which the entire power supply area such as Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Chubu, Kinki, Chugoku, Shikoku, and Kyushu is cut off. It has become.

周知のように、電気は貯蔵することができないので、供給と需要を常に同じにすることが必要である。商用交流の周波数は50Hz又は60Hzに設定されており、周波数は電気の需要と供給のバランスで変化する。周波数を一定に保つためには、家庭や工場で消費される電力需要量と総発電量を一致させる必要がある。需要が供給より大きいと周波数は下がり、逆に需要より供給が大きくなると周波数は上昇する。 As is well known, electricity cannot be stored, so it is necessary to keep supply and demand the same at all times. The frequency of commercial alternating current is set to 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and the frequency changes according to the balance between supply and demand of electricity. In order to keep the frequency constant, it is necessary to match the amount of electricity consumed in homes and factories with the amount of total power generation. When the demand is larger than the supply, the frequency goes down, and conversely, when the supply is larger than the demand, the frequency goes up.

周波数が0.2Hz程度変動すると一部の需要家の機器に悪影響が生じ、また、数パーセントの周波数変動が起きると、タービン翼共振や発電機軸のねじれを防ぐため発電機を停止せざるを得なくなる。このため電力会社は需要を予測しながら発電量を細かく増減させ、周波数が一定に保たれるように調整している。 If the frequency fluctuates by about 0.2Hz, some consumers' equipment will be adversely affected, and if the frequency fluctuates by a few percent, the generator must be stopped to prevent turbine blade resonance and twisting of the generator shaft. It disappears. For this reason, electric power companies finely increase or decrease the amount of power generation while forecasting demand, and adjust the frequency so that it is kept constant.

しかし、地震による大きな揺れを受けたとき、発電機が緊急停止する場合があり、電力供給量の大半が一挙に失われると、周波数が急激に下がり、発電所は周波数低下による故障を防ぐために次々と自動停止し、停電が全域に広がって広域停電となるブラックアウトに至る。 However, in the event of a large tremor caused by an earthquake, the generator may stop in an emergency, and if most of the power supply is lost at once, the frequency will drop sharply, and the power plants will continue to prevent failures due to the frequency drop. It automatically stops, and the power outage spreads over the entire area, leading to a blackout that results in a wide-area power outage.

このように地震により電力供給量が激減したときに、大口顧客や一部の地域に対する電力供給を停止して電力需要量を大きく減らすことができれば、周波数の低下が抑制され、隣接した地域から電力供給を受けるなどすることで、ブラックアウトを逃れることが可能となる。 If the power supply to large customers and some areas can be stopped and the power demand can be significantly reduced when the power supply is drastically reduced due to the earthquake, the frequency decrease will be suppressed and the power will be supplied from the adjacent area. It is possible to escape the blackout by receiving supply.

また、地震による発電量の低下に対し電力需要量を調整するため計画停電を行う場合もあるが、計画停電は一日の電力需要に合わせて需要者に計画で指示された節電を求めるものであり、地震発生直後に短時間で発生する電力供給量の激減には十分に対応できない。 In addition, rolling blackouts may be carried out in order to adjust the amount of power demand in response to the decrease in power generation due to the earthquake, but rolling blackouts require consumers to save electricity as instructed in the plan according to the daily power demand. Therefore, it is not possible to sufficiently cope with the drastic decrease in the amount of power supply that occurs in a short time immediately after the occurrence of an earthquake.

特開2013−115885号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-1158585 特開2017−010356号公報JP-A-2017-010356

電力会社が地震による電力供給量の急減に対し、大口需要者や特定の地域への電力供給を止めて電力需要量を減らす電力調整を行うことは、地震の規模や地震による被害の状況が把握できない状況で適切且つ迅速に行うことが困難であり、電力需要に対し電力供給が激減してバランスが崩れることで周波数が低下し、発電所の自動停止を引き起こしてブラックアウトに至る可能性が高い。 When an electric power company makes a power adjustment to reduce the power demand by stopping the power supply to large consumers or a specific area in response to the sudden decrease in the power supply due to the earthquake, the scale of the earthquake and the damage caused by the earthquake can be grasped. It is difficult to do it properly and quickly in situations where it is not possible, and there is a high possibility that the power supply will drop sharply in response to the power demand and the balance will be lost, causing the frequency to drop, causing the power plant to shut down automatically, leading to blackout. ..

ところで、受信機から引き出された火災感知器により火災を監視する火災報知設備等の防災設備にあっては、通常時は商用交流電源の供給により動作しているが、商用交流電源が停電した場合はバッテリーによる予備電源に切替えて動作するようにしている。 By the way, disaster prevention equipment such as a fire alarm system that monitors a fire with a fire detector drawn from a receiver normally operates by supplying a commercial AC power supply, but when the commercial AC power supply fails. Is switched to a standby power supply with a battery to operate.

受信機の予備電源に設けられたバッテリーは、通常時と火災時に分けてバッテリー駆動を可能とする容量換算時間が定められており、受信機用の場合、通常時は1.8時間、火災時は0.6時間となっている。このためバッテリーによる予備電源を備えた火災報知設備にあっては、例えば、地震発生により停電となっても予備電源により所定時間は正常に動作することができる
このようにバッテリーによる予備電源を備えた火災報知設備は、電力会社の電力供給地域全体を見ると膨大な数となり、地震発生時に火災報知設備を含む全ての防災設備をバッテリーによる予備電源に切替えて動作できれば、電力需要量を大きく減らことが可能となる。
The battery provided in the backup power supply of the receiver has a capacity conversion time that enables the battery to be driven separately during normal times and during fires. For receivers, 1.8 hours during normal times and during fires Is 0.6 hours. For this reason, a fire alarm system equipped with a battery-based backup power supply can operate normally for a predetermined time with the standby power supply even if a power failure occurs due to an earthquake, for example. The number of fire alarm systems is enormous when looking at the entire power supply area of electric power companies, and if all disaster prevention equipment including fire alarm systems can be switched to battery-powered backup power sources in the event of an earthquake, the amount of power demand will be greatly reduced. Is possible.

本発明は、地震発生時にバッテリーによる予備電源を有効に活用することで、電力供給量の激減に伴うブラックアウト(大停電)を未然に防止可能とする火災報知設備を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a fire alarm system that can prevent a blackout (major power outage) due to a drastic decrease in power supply by effectively utilizing a backup power source from a battery in the event of an earthquake. ..

(基本的な効果)
本発明は、受信機から引き出された信号回線に火災感知器を接続して火災を監視し、通常時は商用交流電源の供給を受けて動作し、商用交流電源が停電した場合はバッテリーによる予備電源に切替えて動作する火災報知設備に於いて、受信機に、所定震度以上又は所定震度を超える地震を検出して地震検出信号を出力する地震検出器と、所定値以上又は所定値を超える商用交流電源の周波数低下を検出して周波数低下検出信号を出力する周波数低下検出器と、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号に基づき、商用交流電源から予備電源に切替えて動作させることにより、商用交流電源の電力需要量を低下させる電力需要制御部とが設けられたため、例えば震度5を超えるような大きな揺れの地震が発生し、地震に伴う発電所の自動停止等により発電量が激減して商用交流電源の周波数が低下すると、商用交流電源からバッテリーによる予備電源に切り替えられ、電力供給地域に存在する施設に設置された多数の火災報知設備がバッテリーによる予備電源の動作に切り替わり、商用交流電源の使用が停止することで電力需要量が大きく低下し、これに加えて大口需要者や限られた一部地域に対する電力供給の停止を行うことによって、激減した電力供給量とのバランス調整が可能となり、周波数低下に伴い引き起こされる発電所の自動停止を抑制し、ほぼ全域が停電するブラックアウトに陥ることを未然に抑制可能とする。
(Basic effect)
The present invention monitors a fire by connecting a fire detector to the signal line drawn from the receiver, operates by receiving the supply of commercial AC power in normal times, and reserves with a battery when the commercial AC power is cut off. In fire alarm equipment that operates by switching to a power source, an earthquake detector that detects an earthquake with a predetermined seismic intensity or higher or exceeds a predetermined seismic intensity and outputs an earthquake detection signal to a receiver, and a commercial product with a predetermined value or higher or a predetermined value or higher. A commercial AC power supply by switching from a commercial AC power supply to a standby power supply based on a frequency reduction detector that detects the frequency decrease of the AC power supply and outputs a frequency reduction detection signal, and an earthquake detection signal and a frequency reduction detection signal. Because a power demand control unit is provided to reduce the amount of power demand, for example, a large shaking earthquake with a seismic intensity of over 5 occurs, and the amount of power generated is drastically reduced due to the automatic shutdown of the power plant due to the earthquake, etc. When the frequency of the power supply drops, the commercial AC power supply is switched to the standby power supply using the battery, and many fire alarm facilities installed in the facilities in the power supply area switch to the operation of the standby power supply using the battery, and the commercial AC power supply is used. By stopping the power supply to large consumers and limited areas, it is possible to adjust the balance with the drastically reduced power supply. It suppresses the automatic shutdown of the power plant caused by the frequency drop, and makes it possible to suppress the blackout that causes a power failure in almost the entire area.

(分散システムの中継盤による効果)
また、受信機に対しネットワーク回線を介して1又は複数の中継盤が接続され、中継盤から引き出された信号回線に火災感知器を接続して火災を監視し、中継盤は通常時に商用交流電源の供給を受けて動作し、商用交流電源が停電した場合はバッテリーによる予備電源に切替えて動作する分散システムが構成されており、中継盤に、所定震度以上又は所定震度を超える地震を検出して地震検出信号を出力する地震検出器と、所定値以上又は所定値を超える商用交流電源の周波数低下を検出して周波数低下検出信号を出力する周波数低下検出器と、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号に基づき、商用交流電源から予備電源に切替えて動作させることにより、商用交流電源の電力需要量を低下させる電力需要制御部とが設けられたため、複数の住棟等の施設を対象に受信機からのネットワーク回線に接続される分散システムの中継盤についても、地震発生と周波数低下に基づきバッテリーによる予備電源の動作に切り替えられ、複数の中継盤による商用交流電源の使用が停止することで電力需要量を大きく低減し、地震により激減した電力供給量とのバランス調整が更に行い易くすることができる。
(Effect of the relay board of the distributed system)
In addition, one or more relay boards are connected to the receiver via a network line, and a fire detector is connected to the signal line drawn from the relay board to monitor the fire, and the relay board is a commercial AC power supply at normal times. A distributed system is configured that operates by receiving the supply of the AC power supply and switches to a standby power supply using a battery when the commercial AC power supply fails. An earthquake detector that outputs an earthquake detection signal, a frequency drop detector that detects a frequency drop of a commercial AC power supply that exceeds or exceeds a predetermined value and outputs a frequency drop detection signal, and an earthquake detection signal and a frequency drop detection signal. Based on the above, a power demand control unit was provided to reduce the power demand of the commercial AC power supply by switching from the commercial AC power supply to the standby power supply. The relay board of the distributed system connected to the network line of the above is also switched to the operation of the standby power supply by the battery based on the occurrence of the earthquake and the frequency decrease, and the use of the commercial AC power supply by the multiple relay boards is stopped, so that the power demand amount. Can be greatly reduced, and the balance adjustment with the power supply amount drastically reduced due to the earthquake can be further facilitated.

(地震検出と周波数低下検出による予備電源切替の効果)
また、電力需要制御部は、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号の両方方を受信したときに、商用交流電源から予備電源に切替えて動作させることにより、商用交流電源の電力需要量を低下させるようにしたため、震源に近い強い揺れを受けた場所の火災報知設備がバッテリーによる予備電源の動作に切り替わって電力需要量の低下に貢献できる。
(Effect of backup power switching by earthquake detection and frequency drop detection)
In addition, when the power demand control unit receives both the earthquake detection signal and the frequency drop detection signal, it switches from the commercial AC power supply to the backup power supply and operates it so as to reduce the power demand amount of the commercial AC power supply. Therefore, the fire alarm equipment in the place near the earthquake source that received strong shaking can switch to the operation of the backup power supply by the battery, which can contribute to the reduction of the electric power demand.

(周波数低下検出のみによる予備電源切替のみの効果)
また、電力需要制御部は、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号の両方を受信したときは、商用交流電源の供給による動作を継続し、地震検出信号を受信せずに周波数低下検出信号のみを受信したときは、商用交流電源から予備電源に切替えて動作させることにより、商用交流電源の電力需要量を低下させるようにしたため、震源から離れた場所に設置された火災報知設備であっても、周波数の低下によりバッテリーによる予備電源の動作に切り替わることで電力需要量の低下に貢献し、一方、地震に近い強い揺れを受けた場所の火災報知設備は商用交流電源の動作を継続し、地震により発生した火災を確実に検出して警報することができる。
(Effect of backup power switching only by frequency drop detection only)
When the power demand control unit receives both the earthquake detection signal and the frequency drop detection signal, it continues the operation by supplying the commercial AC power supply and receives only the frequency drop detection signal without receiving the earthquake detection signal. When this happens, the power demand of the commercial AC power supply is reduced by switching from the commercial AC power supply to the standby power supply, so even if the fire alarm equipment is installed in a place away from the earthquake source, the frequency will be reduced. It contributes to the decrease in power demand by switching to the operation of the standby power supply by the battery due to the decrease in power consumption, while the fire alarm equipment in the place where the strong shaking near the earthquake continues the operation of the commercial AC power supply It is possible to reliably detect and warn of a fire that has occurred.

(需要抑制要請の効果)
また、電力需要制御部は、商用電源の供給設備側から需要抑制要請信号を受信したときに、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号の受信有無に関わらず、商用交流電源から予備電源に切替えて動作させることにより、商用交流電源の電力需要量を低下させるようにしたため、地震の影響を受けていない地域であっても、ネットワークを経由した電力会社サーバ等からの需要抑制要請信号を受信すると、バッテリーによる予備電源の動作に切り替わり、電力需要量の低下に貢献できる。
(Effect of demand restraint request)
Further, when the power demand control unit receives the demand suppression request signal from the supply facility side of the commercial power supply, the power demand control unit operates by switching from the commercial AC power supply to the standby power supply regardless of whether or not the earthquake detection signal and the frequency drop detection signal are received. By doing so, the power demand of the commercial AC power supply is reduced, so even in areas that are not affected by the earthquake, when a demand suppression request signal is received from the power company server, etc. via the network, the battery will be used. It can contribute to the reduction of power demand by switching to the operation of the standby power supply.

(予備電源切替時の省電力モードによる効果)
また、電力需要制御部は、商用交流電源から予備電源に切り替えたときに省電力モードを設定し、火災監視に最小限必要な所定の省電力監視制御を行い、例えば、省電力モードを設定したときに、少なくとも受信機又は中継盤による障害警報動作を停止させ、また、
受信機に設けられた表示部の定常監視表示を停止させるようにしたため、商用交流電源からバッテリーによる予備電源の動作に切り替わったときに、火災監視に最小限必要な所定の省電力監視制御によりバッテリーの消費電力が抑えられ、バッテリーによる動作時間を長くし、周波数調整のために電力需要量を低下させている時間を可能な限り伸ばすことができる。
(Effect of power saving mode when switching standby power supply)
In addition, the power demand control unit sets the power saving mode when switching from the commercial AC power supply to the standby power supply, performs the predetermined power saving monitoring control necessary for fire monitoring, and sets, for example, the power saving mode. Occasionally, at least the fault alarm operation by the receiver or relay board is stopped, and
Since the steady monitoring display of the display unit provided on the receiver is stopped, when the operation of the standby power supply by the battery is switched from the commercial AC power supply, the battery is controlled by the predetermined power saving monitoring control that is the minimum necessary for fire monitoring. The power consumption of the battery can be reduced, the operating time of the battery can be extended, and the time during which the power demand is reduced due to frequency adjustment can be extended as much as possible.

(所定時間後の商用交流電源への切替復旧による効果)
また、電力需要制御部は、予備電源に切り替えてから所定時間が経過したときに、予備電源から商用交流電源に切替えて復旧させるようにしたため、火災報知設備の予備電源による動作可能時間は、バッテリーの容量換算時間に基づき決まっており、例えば、バッテリーの容量換算時間に到達してバッテリー切れとなる前に商用交流電源に切替え復旧することで、火災監視機能が失われないようにする。また、バッテリーの容量換算時間に基づく所定時間、商用交流電源の電力需要量を低下できるので、その間に、電力会社は緊急停止した発電機の起動や他の電力会社からの給電を受けて電力供給量を回復させる時間が確保され、時間に余裕をもって電力供給量を回復させる対応措置を講ずることが可能となる。
(Effect of switching to commercial AC power supply after a predetermined time)
In addition, the power demand control unit switches from the backup power supply to the commercial AC power supply and restores it when a predetermined time has passed after switching to the standby power supply. It is determined based on the capacity conversion time of, for example, by switching to a commercial AC power supply and recovering before the battery capacity conversion time is reached and the battery runs out, the fire monitoring function is not lost. In addition, the power demand of the commercial AC power supply can be reduced for a predetermined time based on the capacity conversion time of the battery, and during that time, the power company supplies power by starting the generator that has stopped urgently or receiving power from another power company. The time to recover the amount is secured, and it becomes possible to take countermeasures to recover the power supply amount with a margin in time.

(火災検出時の商用交流電源への切替復旧の効果)
また、電力需要制御部は、予備電源に切り替えた状態で火災感知器から火災信号を受信したときに、予備電源から商用交流電源に切替えて復旧させるようにしたため、火災が検出されたときには、バッテリーを用いた予備電源の動作による制約を受けることなく、主音響鳴動、地区音響鳴動、防排煙機器の連動といった火災警報制御を確実に行うことを可能とする。
(Effect of switching to commercial AC power supply when fire is detected)
In addition, the power demand control unit switches from the backup power supply to the commercial AC power supply to recover when a fire signal is received from the fire detector while the standby power supply is switched to. Therefore, when a fire is detected, the battery is used. It is possible to reliably perform fire alarm control such as main sound ringing, district sound ringing, and interlocking of smoke prevention equipment without being restricted by the operation of the backup power supply using.

(防災設備の効果)
また、本発明の他の形態にあっては、通常時は商用交流電源の供給を受けて動作し、商用交流電源が停電した場合はバッテリーによる予備電源に切替えて動作する防災設備に於いて、所定震度以上又は所定震度を超える地震を検出して地震検出信号を出力する地震検出器と、所定値以上又は所定値を超える商用交流電源の周波数低下を検出して周波数低下検出信号を出力する周波数低下検出器と、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号に基づき、商用交流電源から予備電源に切替えて動作させることにより、商用交流電源の需要を低下させる電力需要制御部とが設けられたため、火災報知設備に限定されず、バッテリーによる予備電源に切替えて動作する防災設備の全てが地震発生時の電力需要量の低下に貢献することができ、電力需要量の低下量を更に増大させ、周波数調整を更に行い易くすることができる。

[商用交流電源の電力系統]
まず、火災報知設備に商用交流電源を供給する電力系統について説明する。電力会社の電力供給地域に存在するビル等の床面積が500平米を超える建物については火災報知設備の設置が義務付けられており、これにより電力供給地域には膨大な数の火災報知設備が存在している。
[Power system of commercial AC power supply]
First, the power system that supplies commercial AC power to the fire alarm system will be described. Buildings with a floor area of more than 500 square meters, such as buildings existing in the power supply area of the electric power company, are obliged to install fire alarm equipment, which causes a huge number of fire alarm equipment to exist in the electric power supply area. ing.

図1に示すように、商用交流電源の電力系統は、水力発電所100、火力発電所102及び原子力発電所104で発電した27.5万ボルト又は50万ボルトの電気を超高圧変電所106に送って15.4万ボルトに変換し、続いて1次変電所108を経由して鉄道施設110などに15.4万ボルトで送ると共に6万6千ボルトに変換して中間変電所112及び配電用変電所116に送る。中間変電所112は大工場114等の大口需要者に6万6千ボルトの電気を送る。配電用変電所116は6万6千ボルトの電気を柱上変圧器118に送って100ボルト又は200ボルトに変換し、火災報知設備10及び一般店舗や一般住宅に電気を送っている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the power system of the commercial AC power source transfers 275,000 volt or 500,000 volt electricity generated at the hydraulic power plant 100, the thermal power plant 102, and the nuclear power plant 104 to the ultra-high voltage substation 106.

Further, in addition to the analog fire detector 15, a repeater 16 having a unique address and a transmission function is connected to the signal line 14-2, and the detector line 18 drawn from the repeater 16 is connected. An on / off type fire detector 20 is connected to the. When a fire is detected, the on / off type fire detector 20 transmits a fire detection signal to the repeater 16 by passing an alarm current through the detector line 18.

また、信号回線14−1,14−2には、必要に応じて、固有アドレスが設定されると共に伝送機能を備えた中継器を介してガス漏れ警報器や発信機を接続することができる。 Further, a gas leak alarm or a transmitter can be connected to the signal lines 14-1 and 14-2 via a repeater having a unique address and a transmission function, if necessary.

ここで、信号回線14−1〜14−3に接続される火災感知器15、中継器16等の端末機器に設定される最大アドレス数は例えば255としており、信号回線14−1〜14−3のそれぞれには最大255台の火災感知器15を含む端末機器が接続できる。また、以下の説明で信号回線14−1〜14−3を区別する必要がない場合は、信号回線14という場合がある。 Here, the maximum number of addresses set in the terminal devices such as the fire detector 15 and the repeater 16 connected to the signal lines 14-1 to 14-3 is, for example, 255, and the signal lines 14-1 to 14-3. A terminal device including a maximum of 255 fire detectors 15 can be connected to each of the above. Further, when it is not necessary to distinguish the signal lines 14-1 to 14-3 in the following description, it may be referred to as the signal line 14.

[受信機の機能構成]
(受信機の概要)
R型受信機12には、メインCPU24と複数のサブCPU基板26−1〜26−3が設けられ、サブCPU基板26−1〜26−3にはサブCPU28と伝送回路部30が設けられている。
[Receiver function configuration]
(Overview of receiver)
The R-type receiver 12 is provided with a main CPU 24 and a plurality of sub CPU boards 26-1 to 26-3, and the sub CPU boards 26-1 to 26-3 are provided with a sub CPU 28 and a transmission circuit unit 30. There is.

メインCPU24とサブCPU28は、シリアル転送バス25で接続されており、相互にデータを送受信する。シリアル転送バス25としては、例えばコントロールエリアネットワーク(CAN)が使用され、フレーム(メッセージともいう)と呼ばれるパケット単位にデータを送受信する。 The main CPU 24 and the sub CPU 28 are connected by a serial transfer bus 25, and transmit and receive data to and from each other. As the serial transfer bus 25, for example, a control area network (CAN) is used, and data is transmitted / received in packet units called frames (also referred to as messages).

メインCPU24には、液晶表示パネル等を用いたタッチパネル付きのディスプレイ装置32、火災代表灯、ガス漏れ代表灯、障害代表灯等を備えた表示部34、所定の操作スイッチが設けられた操作部36、スピーカが設けられた音響警報部38、及び移報部40が接続され、更に、地震検出器42と周波数低下検出器44が接続されている。 The main CPU 24 includes a display device 32 with a touch panel using a liquid crystal display panel or the like, a display unit 34 equipped with a fire representative light, a gas leak representative light, a failure representative light, etc., and an operation unit 36 provided with a predetermined operation switch. , An acoustic alarm unit 38 provided with a speaker, and a signal transfer unit 40 are connected, and further, an earthquake detector 42 and a frequency drop detector 44 are connected.

(地震検出器)
地震検出器42は、所定の震度、例えば、火災報知設備10の被害が予想される震度5強を超える地震を検出して地震検出信号をメインCPU24に出力する。また、地震検出器42は地震による揺れ(加速度)を検出するものであるが、これ以外に、緊急地震速報等の放送信号の受信機能を追加し、その受信を検出して地震検出信号を出力するものであっても良い。
(Earthquake detector)
The earthquake detector 42 detects an earthquake having a predetermined seismic intensity, for example, an earthquake having a seismic intensity exceeding 5 or higher, which is expected to damage the fire alarm system 10, and outputs an earthquake detection signal to the main CPU 24. In addition, the earthquake detector 42 detects shaking (acceleration) due to an earthquake, but in addition to this, it adds a function to receive broadcast signals such as Earthquake Early Warnings, detects the reception, and outputs an earthquake detection signal. It may be something to do.

(周波数低下検出器)
周波数低下検出器44は、商用交流電源(AC100V)を入力し、設定周波数50Hz又は60Hzに対する周波数の低下を検出して周波数低下検出信号を出力する。商用交流電源の周波数は日常的に0.2Hz以下の周波数変動に調整されており、数パーセントの周波数変動が起きると、発電機のタービン翼共振や発電機軸ねじれを防ぐために発電機を自動停止することから、周波数低下検出器44は日常的な変動範囲を超える、例えば、1Hz又は1パーセントの周波数低下を検出して周波数低下検出信号を出力する。
(Frequency drop detector)
The frequency drop detector 44 inputs a commercial AC power supply (AC100V), detects a frequency drop with respect to a set frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz, and outputs a frequency drop detection signal. The frequency of the commercial AC power supply is routinely adjusted to a frequency fluctuation of 0.2 Hz or less, and when a frequency fluctuation of several percent occurs, the generator is automatically stopped to prevent the generator blade resonance and the generator shaft twist. Therefore, the frequency drop detector 44 detects a frequency drop of, for example, 1 Hz or 1%, which exceeds the daily fluctuation range, and outputs a frequency drop detection signal.

(受信機電源)
R型受信機12には電源回路部46が設けられ、商用交流電源(AC100V)の供給を受け、受信機動作に必要な所定の直流電源電圧に変換し、電源切替部52を介して各部に直流電源電圧を供給している。電源切替部52には、電源回路部46の他にバッテリー50を備えた予備電源部48が接続される。
(Receiver power supply)
The R-type receiver 12 is provided with a power supply circuit unit 46, receives a supply of a commercial AC power supply (AC100V), converts it into a predetermined DC power supply voltage required for receiver operation, and supplies each unit via a power supply switching unit 52. It supplies DC power supply voltage. A backup power supply unit 48 including a battery 50 is connected to the power supply switching unit 52 in addition to the power supply circuit unit 46.

電源切替部52は、商用交流電源(AC100V)が正常なときには電源回路部46から所定の直流電源電圧が得られていることから、電源回路部46の出力に切替えて受信機各部に所定の電源電圧を供給して動作させており、また、電源回路部46は予備電源部48を介してバッテリー50を充電している。 When the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) is normal, the power supply switching unit 52 obtains a predetermined DC power supply voltage from the power supply circuit unit 46. Therefore, the power supply switching unit 52 switches to the output of the power supply circuit unit 46 and supplies a predetermined power supply to each receiver unit. A voltage is supplied for operation, and the power supply circuit unit 46 charges the battery 50 via the standby power supply unit 48.

商用交流電源(AC100V)が停電した場合には、電源回路部46の出力が断たれることから、電源回路部46の出力停止を電源切替部52が検出して予備電源部48の出力に切替え、受信機各部に対する電源供給を予備電源部48によるバッテリー50からの予備電源供給に切り替える。また、電源切替部52はメインCPU24からの制御信号により切替えることができる。 When the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) has a power failure, the output of the power supply circuit unit 46 is cut off. Therefore, the power supply switching unit 52 detects the output stop of the power supply circuit unit 46 and switches to the output of the backup power supply unit 48. , The power supply to each part of the receiver is switched to the backup power supply from the battery 50 by the standby power supply unit 48. Further, the power supply switching unit 52 can be switched by a control signal from the main CPU 24.

(監視制御部)
サブCPU基板26−1,26−2に設けられたサブCPU28は、伝送回路部30に指示してアナログ式の火災感知器15との間で所定の通信プロトコルに従って信号を送受信することで、火災監視制御を行っている。
(Monitoring and control unit)
The sub CPU 28 provided on the sub CPU boards 26-1 and 26-2 instructs the transmission circuit unit 30 to send and receive a signal to and from the analog fire detector 15 according to a predetermined communication protocol, thereby causing a fire. Monitoring and control are performed.

伝送回路部30からアナログ式の火災感知器15に対する下り信号は電圧モードで伝送している。この電圧モードの信号は、信号回線14の線路電圧を例えば18ボルトと30ボルトの間で変化させる電圧パルスとして伝送される。 The downlink signal from the transmission circuit unit 30 to the analog fire detector 15 is transmitted in the voltage mode. The signal in this voltage mode is transmitted as a voltage pulse that changes the line voltage of the signal line 14 between, for example, 18 and 30 volts.

これに対しアナログ式の火災感知器15から伝送回路部30に対する上り信号は電流モードで伝送される。この電流モードにあっては、信号回線14に伝送データのビット1のタイミングで信号電流を流し、いわゆる電流パルス列として上り信号がR型受信機12に伝送される。 On the other hand, the uplink signal from the analog fire detector 15 to the transmission circuit unit 30 is transmitted in the current mode. In this current mode, a signal current is passed through the signal line 14 at the timing of bit 1 of the transmission data, and an uplink signal is transmitted to the R-type receiver 12 as a so-called current pulse train.

サブCPU28による火災監視制御は、通常の監視中にあっては、一定周期毎に、伝送回路部30に指示して、一括AD変換コマンドを含むブロードキャストの一括AD変換信号を送信しており、この一括AD変換信号を受信した火災感知器15は、煙濃度又は温度をセンサデータとして検出して保持する。続いて、サブCPU28は、端末アドレスを順次指定したポーリングコマンドを含む呼出信号を送信している。 The fire monitoring control by the sub CPU 28 instructs the transmission circuit unit 30 at regular intervals during normal monitoring to transmit a broadcast batch AD conversion signal including a batch AD conversion command. The fire detector 15 that has received the batch AD conversion signal detects and holds the smoke concentration or temperature as sensor data. Subsequently, the sub CPU 28 transmits a call signal including a polling command in which terminal addresses are sequentially specified.

火災感知器15は自己アドレスに一致するアドレスを持つ呼出信号を受信すると、そのとき保持しているセンサデータを含む応答信号を伝送回路部30に送信する。また、火災感知器15は火災を検出すると伝送回路部30に対し火災割込み信号を送信する。 When the fire detector 15 receives a call signal having an address matching its own address, it transmits a response signal including the sensor data held at that time to the transmission circuit unit 30. Further, when the fire detector 15 detects a fire, it transmits a fire interrupt signal to the transmission circuit unit 30.

サブCPU28は伝送回路部30を介して火災割込み信号を受信すると、グループ検索信号を送信して火災を検出している火災感知器15を含むグループを特定し、続いて、グループ内検索信号を送信して火災を検出している火災感知器15のアドレスを特定し、火災が検出された感知器アドレスを含む火災検出情報を、シリアル転送バス25を介してメインCPU24に送信する。 When the sub CPU 28 receives the fire interrupt signal via the transmission circuit unit 30, it transmits a group search signal to identify the group including the fire detector 15 detecting the fire, and subsequently transmits a search signal within the group. The address of the fire detector 15 that detects the fire is specified, and the fire detection information including the address of the detector in which the fire is detected is transmitted to the main CPU 24 via the serial transfer bus 25.

メインCPU24には、プログラムの実行により実現される機能として監視制御部54が設けられる。メインCPU24の監視制御部54は、サブCPU28から火災検出情報を受信すると、ディスプレイ装置32に火災が検出された感知器アドレスに基づき火災発生場所を含む火災警報情報を表示させ、音響警報部38のスピーカから火災発生を示す所定の主音響警報を出力させ、更に、移報部40により火災移報信号を外部に出力して所定の連動制御等を行わせる。 The main CPU 24 is provided with a monitoring control unit 54 as a function realized by executing a program. When the monitoring control unit 54 of the main CPU 24 receives the fire detection information from the sub CPU 28, the display device 32 displays the fire alarm information including the fire occurrence location based on the detector address where the fire was detected, and the acoustic alarm unit 38 A predetermined main acoustic alarm indicating the occurrence of a fire is output from the speaker, and a fire transfer signal is output to the outside by the transfer unit 40 to perform a predetermined interlocking control or the like.

(電力需要抑制制御部)
メインCPU24には、プログラムの実行により実現される機能として電力需要制御部56が設けられる。メインCPU24の電力需要制御部56は、地震検出器42からの地震検出信号と周波数低下検出器44の周波数低下検出信号に基づき、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48からのバッテリー50による予備電源の供給に切替え、電源回路部46による商用交流電源(AC100V)の使用を切り離すことで、図1に示した電力系統から見た火災報知設備10の電力需要量を低下させる制御を行う。
(Power demand suppression control unit)
The main CPU 24 is provided with a power demand control unit 56 as a function realized by executing a program. The power demand control unit 56 of the main CPU 24 instructs the power supply switching unit 52 based on the earthquake detection signal from the earthquake detector 42 and the frequency decrease detection signal of the frequency decrease detector 44, and uses the battery 50 from the backup power supply unit 48. By switching to the supply of the standby power supply and disconnecting the use of the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) by the power supply circuit unit 46, the power demand of the fire alarm equipment 10 as seen from the power system shown in FIG. 1 is reduced.

また、電力需要制御部56は、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48によるバッテリー50からの電源供給に切り替えてから所定時間、例えばバッテリー50の通常時の容量換算時間である1.6時間未満の所定時間が経過したときに、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48から電源回路部46による電源供給に切替え、商用交流電源(AC100V)による電源供給に復旧させる制御を行う。 Further, the power demand control unit 56 indicates a predetermined time after instructing the power supply switching unit 52 to switch to power supply from the battery 50 by the backup power supply unit 48, for example, 1.6, which is a normal capacity conversion time of the battery 50. When a predetermined time less than the time elapses, the power switching unit 52 is instructed to switch from the backup power supply unit 48 to the power supply by the power supply circuit unit 46, and control is performed to restore the power supply to the commercial AC power supply (AC100V).

このため、バッテリー50の容量切れとなる前に商用交流電源(AC100V)による電源供給に復旧することで、火災監視機能が失われないようにする。また、バッテリー50の容量換算時間に基づく所定時間、商用交流電源(AC100V)の電力需要量を低下できるので、その間に、電力会社は緊急停止した発電機の起動や他の電力会社からの給電を受けて電力供給量を回復させる時間が確保され、時間的に余裕をもって電力供給量を回復させる対応措置を講ずることが可能となる。 Therefore, the fire monitoring function is not lost by restoring the power supply by the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) before the capacity of the battery 50 is exhausted. In addition, since the power demand of the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) can be reduced for a predetermined time based on the capacity conversion time of the battery 50, the power company can start the generator that has stopped urgently or supply power from another power company during that time. The time to recover the power supply will be secured, and it will be possible to take countermeasures to recover the power supply with time to spare.

また、電力需要制御部56は、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48によるバッテリー50からの電源供給に切り替えた状態で、アナログ式の火災感知器15から火災信号に基づき火災を検出した場合、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48から電源回路部46による電源供給に切替え、商用交流電源(AC100V)による電源供給に復旧させる制御を行う。 Further, the power demand control unit 56 detects a fire from the analog fire detector 15 based on the fire signal in a state where the power supply switching unit 52 is instructed to switch the power supply from the battery 50 by the backup power supply unit 48. In this case, the power switching unit 52 is instructed to switch from the backup power supply unit 48 to the power supply by the power supply circuit unit 46, and control is performed to restore the power supply to the commercial AC power supply (AC100V).

このため、火災が検出されたときには、バッテリー50からの電源供給による制約を受けることなく、主音響鳴動、地区音響鳴動、防排煙機器の連動といった火災警報制御を確実に行うことができる。 Therefore, when a fire is detected, fire alarm control such as main sound ringing, district sound ringing, and interlocking of smoke prevention devices can be reliably performed without being restricted by the power supply from the battery 50.

また、電力需要制御部56は、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48によるバッテリー50からの電源供給に切り替えたときに監視制御部54に指示して省電力モードを設定し、火災監視に最小限必要な所定の省電力監視制御を行わせる。 Further, the power demand control unit 56 instructs the power supply switching unit 52 to set the power saving mode by instructing the monitoring control unit 54 when switching to the power supply from the battery 50 by the backup power supply unit 48, and fire monitoring. To perform the minimum required power saving monitoring control.

電力需要制御部56により省電力モードが設定された監視制御部54は、例えば次の(1)(2)の省電力監視制御を行う。 The monitoring control unit 54 in which the power saving mode is set by the power demand control unit 56 performs, for example, the following power saving monitoring control (1) and (2).

(1) 障害警報動作の停止
電力需要制御部56により省電力モードが設定された監視制御部54は、断線障害や感知器障害等が検出されても、表示部34の障害代表灯を点灯又は点滅せず、音響警報部38のスピーカから障害警報音を出力させず、更に、ディスプレイ装置32に障害情報を画面表示させない制御を行うことにより、バッテリー50の電力消費を低減し、バッテリー50の容量が切れるまでの火災監視が有効に行われる時間を可能な限り伸ばす。
(1) Stopping the failure alarm operation The monitoring control unit 54 whose power saving mode is set by the power demand control unit 56 turns on the failure representative light of the display unit 34 even if a disconnection failure, a sensor failure, or the like is detected. The power consumption of the battery 50 is reduced and the capacity of the battery 50 is reduced by controlling the display device 32 so that the display device 32 does not display the failure information on the screen without blinking and not outputting the failure alarm sound from the speaker of the acoustic alarm unit 38. Extend the effective time for fire monitoring until it expires as much as possible.

(2) 定常表示動作の停止
電力需要制御部56により省電力モードが設定された監視制御部54は、ディスプレイ装置32及び表示部34の表示灯の定常監視表示を停止させる制御を行う。
(2) Stopping Steady Display Operation The monitoring control unit 54 whose power saving mode is set by the power demand control unit 56 controls to stop the steady monitoring display of the indicator lights of the display device 32 and the display unit 34.

メインCPU24の監視制御部54は、通常監視状態で、ディスプレイ装置32に所定の定常画面を表示し、また、表示部34の表示灯によりスイッチの定位の有無を表示しているが、電力需要制御部56の指示により省電力モードを設定した場合に、ディスプレイ装置32の定常表示をオフして非表示画面とし、また、表示部34の表示灯を全て消灯してバッテリー50の電力消費を低減し、バッテリー50の容量が切れるまでの火災監視が有効に行われる時間を可能な限り伸ばす。 The monitoring control unit 54 of the main CPU 24 displays a predetermined steady screen on the display device 32 in the normal monitoring state, and the indicator lamp of the display unit 34 indicates the presence or absence of localization of the switch. When the power saving mode is set according to the instruction of the unit 56, the steady display of the display device 32 is turned off to make the non-display screen, and all the indicator lights of the display unit 34 are turned off to reduce the power consumption of the battery 50. , Extend as much as possible the time during which fire monitoring is effectively performed until the capacity of the battery 50 runs out.

(需要抑制要請)
電力需要制御部56の追加の制御機能として、図1に示した電力系統側に設けられた電力会社のサーバ等からネットワークを経由して需要抑制要請信号を受信したときに、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号の受信有無に関わらず、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48からのバッテリー50による予備電源の供給に切替える制御を行う。
(Demand restraint request)
As an additional control function of the electric power demand control unit 56, when a demand suppression request signal is received from a server or the like of an electric power company provided on the electric power system side shown in FIG. 1 via a network, an earthquake detection signal and a frequency Regardless of whether or not the drop detection signal is received, the power switching unit 52 is instructed to control the switching from the standby power supply unit 48 to the supply of the standby power supply by the battery 50.

電力会社のサーバ等からの需要抑制要請信号をR型受信機12で受信可能とするため、R型受信機12に有線又は無線によりインターネットに接続する通信アダプタを設け、通信アダプタを介して電力会社のサーバから送信された需要抑制要請信号を受信してメインCPU24に出力し、電力需要制御部56によりバッテリー50からの電源供給に切り替える制御を行わせる。 In order to enable the R-type receiver 12 to receive the demand suppression request signal from the server of the electric power company, the R-type receiver 12 is provided with a communication adapter that connects to the Internet by wire or wirelessly, and the electric power company via the communication adapter. The demand suppression request signal transmitted from the server is received and output to the main CPU 24, and the power demand control unit 56 controls to switch to the power supply from the battery 50.

このため、地震の影響を受けていない地域であっても、ネットワークを経由した電力会社のサーバ等からの需要抑制要請信号を受信すると、バッテリー50による予備電源の動作に切り替わり、周波数低下を調整するための電力需要量の低下に貢献することができる。 Therefore, even in an area not affected by the earthquake, when a demand suppression request signal is received from the server of the electric power company via the network, the operation is switched to the operation of the standby power supply by the battery 50 to adjust the frequency decrease. It can contribute to the reduction of power demand for electricity.

[火災報知設備の制御動作]
次に、火災報知設備のR型受信機における制御動作について説明する。図3は図2のR型受信機における制御動作を示したフローチャートであり、R型受信機12に設けたメインCPU24による制御動作となる。
[Control operation of fire alarm equipment]
Next, the control operation of the R-type receiver of the fire alarm system will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control operation in the R-type receiver of FIG. 2, which is a control operation by the main CPU 24 provided in the R-type receiver 12.

(地震検出と周波数低下検出による需要抑制制御)
図3に示すように、メインCPU24はステップS1で火災監視制御を行っている。この状態で地震が発生して地震検出器42が地震検出信号を出力すると、メインCPU24はステップS2で地震検出を判別してステップS3に進み、商用交流電源(AC100V)の周波数低下の有無を判別する。
(Demand suppression control by earthquake detection and frequency drop detection)
As shown in FIG. 3, the main CPU 24 performs fire monitoring control in step S1. When an earthquake occurs in this state and the earthquake detector 42 outputs an earthquake detection signal, the main CPU 24 determines the earthquake detection in step S2 and proceeds to step S3 to determine whether or not the frequency of the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) has decreased. do.

地震発生に伴う電力系統の発電機の停止による電力供給量の激減に伴い周波数が大きく低下したとすると、周波数低下検出器44が周波数低下検出信号を出力し、メインCPU24はステップS3で周波数低下検出を判別してステップS5に進み、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48の出力に切替えてバッテリー50からの予備電源の供給とし、商用交流電源(AC100V)が切り離されることで、電力系統から見た電力需要量の抑制に貢献する。 Assuming that the frequency drops significantly due to a drastic decrease in the amount of power supplied due to the stoppage of the generator of the power system due to the occurrence of an earthquake, the frequency drop detector 44 outputs a frequency drop detection signal, and the main CPU 24 detects the frequency drop in step S3. Is determined and the process proceeds to step S5, the power switching unit 52 is instructed to switch to the output of the standby power supply unit 48 to supply the standby power supply from the battery 50, and the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) is disconnected to power the power system. Contributes to curbing electricity demand from the perspective of.

続いて、メインCPU24はステップS6で省電力モードによる火災監視制御を行い、バッテリー50の電力消費を低減し、バッテリー50による動作時間を伸ばす制御を行う。 Subsequently, the main CPU 24 performs fire monitoring control in the power saving mode in step S6 to reduce the power consumption of the battery 50 and extend the operating time of the battery 50.

また、メインCPU24は、ステップS7で予備電源に切替えてからの所定時間が経過したか否か判別しており、所定時間の経過を判別するとステップS9に進み、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48の出力から電源回路部46の出力に切替え、商用交流電源(AC100V)による電源供給を復旧させ、省電力モードを解除したステップS1の通常の火災監視制御に戻る。 Further, the main CPU 24 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since switching to the standby power supply in step S7, and when determining the elapse of the predetermined time, the process proceeds to step S9 and instructs the power supply switching unit 52 to reserve. The output of the power supply unit 48 is switched to the output of the power supply circuit unit 46, the power supply by the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) is restored, and the normal fire monitoring control in step S1 in which the power saving mode is released is returned.

また、メインCPU24は、バッテリー50からの予備電源による動作中にステップS8で火災感知器15からの火災信号に基づき火災発報が判別されると、ステップS9に進んで商用交流電源(AC100V)による電源供給を復旧させ、省電力モードを解除したステップS1の通常の火災監視制御に戻り、火災警報を出力させる。 Further, when the main CPU 24 determines a fire alarm based on the fire signal from the fire detector 15 in step S8 during operation by the standby power supply from the battery 50, the main CPU 24 proceeds to step S9 and uses a commercial AC power supply (AC100V). The power supply is restored, the normal fire monitoring control in step S1 in which the power saving mode is released is restored, and a fire alarm is output.

一方、メインCPU24はステップS2で地震検出が判別されないときや、地震検出が判別されてもステップS3で周波数低下が判別されないときは、ステップS4に進んで電力会社のサーバ等からの需要抑制要請信号の受信有無を判別しており、需要抑制要請を判別するとステップS5に進み、地震検出や周波数低下の判別有無に関わらず、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48の出力に切替えてバッテリー50からの予備電源とし、商用交流電源(AC100V)が切り離されることで、需要抑制要請に対処する。 On the other hand, when the earthquake detection is not determined in step S2, or when the frequency decrease is not determined in step S3 even if the earthquake detection is determined, the main CPU 24 proceeds to step S4 and proceeds to step S4 to request a demand suppression signal from the server of the electric power company or the like. When the demand suppression request is determined, the process proceeds to step S5, and the battery is switched to the output of the backup power supply unit 48 by instructing the power supply switching unit 52 regardless of whether or not earthquake detection or frequency decrease is determined. By using a backup power supply from 50 and disconnecting the commercial AC power supply (AC100V), the demand restraint request will be dealt with.

(周波数低下検出のみによる需要抑制制御)
図2のR型受信機12に設けた電力需要制御部56による他の需要抑制制御として、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号の両方を受信したとき、電源切替部52は電源回路部46からの出力を維持して商用交流電源(AC100V)の供給による動作を継続し、一方、地震検出信号を受信せずに周波数低下検出信号のみを受信したときは、電源切替部52に指示して予備電源部48の出力に切替え、バッテリー50による予備電源の供給に切替える制御を行うようにしてもよい。
(Demand suppression control only by detecting frequency drop)
When both the earthquake detection signal and the frequency drop detection signal are received as another demand suppression control by the power demand control unit 56 provided in the R-type receiver 12 of FIG. 2, the power supply switching unit 52 is transmitted from the power supply circuit unit 46. The output is maintained and the operation by supplying the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) is continued. On the other hand, when only the frequency drop detection signal is received without receiving the earthquake detection signal, the power switching unit 52 is instructed to perform the standby power supply. Control may be performed to switch to the output of the unit 48 and to switch to the supply of the standby power supply by the battery 50.

このような需要抑制制御によれば、震源から離れた場所に設置された火災報知設備であっても、周波数の低下によりバッテリー50による電源供給に切り替わることで電力需要量の低下に貢献し、一方、地震に近い強い揺れを受けた場所の火災報知設備は商用交流電源(AC100V)による電源供給を継続し、地震により発生した火災を確実に検出して警報することができる。 According to such demand suppression control, even a fire alarm system installed in a place away from the epicenter contributes to a decrease in power demand by switching to power supply by the battery 50 due to a decrease in frequency. The fire alarm system in a place that has been subjected to strong shaking near an earthquake can continue to supply power from a commercial AC power supply (AC100V), and can reliably detect and warn a fire caused by an earthquake.

[分散システム]
次に、中継盤を用いた分散システムの実施形態について説明する。図4は分散システムの実施形態を示した説明図である。監視対象とする施設が複数の住棟に分かれる等の大規模になる場合には、図4に示すように、防災センター等に設置したR型受信機12に対し例えば住棟毎に分けて中継盤60が設置され、R型受信機12と中継盤60の間をイーサネット(登録商標)等のネットワーク回線62により通信接続している。
[Distributed system]
Next, an embodiment of a distributed system using a relay board will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an embodiment of a distributed system. When the facility to be monitored is divided into a plurality of residential buildings or the like, as shown in FIG. 4, the R-type receiver 12 installed in the disaster prevention center or the like is relayed separately for each residential building, for example. A board 60 is installed, and a communication connection is made between the R-type receiver 12 and the relay board 60 by a network line 62 such as Ethernet (registered trademark).

R型受信機12は、図2に示したものと同じであり、これに対し中継盤60は、図2のR型受信機12からディスプレイ装置32、表示部34、操作部36及び音響警報部38を含む操作表示機能を除いた構成となり、監視制御部54に対応して中継盤60には中継盤制御部64の機能が設けられている。それ以外は、R型受信機12と基本的に同じとなり、警戒区域に引き出された信号回線14にアナログ式の火災感知器15を含む端末機器がR型受信機12と同様に接続されている。 The R-type receiver 12 is the same as that shown in FIG. 2, whereas the relay board 60 has a display device 32, a display unit 34, an operation unit 36, and an acoustic alarm unit from the R-type receiver 12 in FIG. The configuration is such that the operation display function including 38 is excluded, and the relay board 60 is provided with the function of the relay board control unit 64 corresponding to the monitoring control unit 54. Other than that, it is basically the same as the R-type receiver 12, and a terminal device including an analog fire detector 15 is connected to the signal line 14 drawn out to the caution area in the same manner as the R-type receiver 12. ..

また、R型受信機12と同様に、中継盤60に電力需要制御部56が設けられ、中継盤60に設けられた地震検出器42からの地震検出信号と周波数低下検出器44の周波数低下検出信号に基づき、バッテリー50からの予備電源の供給による動作に切り替え、複数の中継盤60による商用交流電源(AC100V)の使用が停止することで電力需要量を大きく低減し、地震により激減した電力供給量とのバランス調整に大きく貢献する。 Further, similarly to the R-type receiver 12, the relay board 60 is provided with the power demand control unit 56, and the earthquake detection signal from the earthquake detector 42 provided on the relay board 60 and the frequency drop detection of the frequency drop detector 44 are detected. Based on the signal, the operation is switched to the supply of standby power from the battery 50, and the use of the commercial AC power supply (AC100V) by the multiple relay boards 60 is stopped, which greatly reduces the power demand and drastically reduces the power supply due to the earthquake. It greatly contributes to the balance adjustment with the amount.

なお、分散システムの他の実施形態として、地震検出器42と周波数低下検出器44はR型受信機12にのみ設け、中継盤60には設けないようにし、R型受信機12で地震検出と周波数低下の両方を判別したときに、需要抑制指示信号をネットワーク回線62により中継盤60に送信し、中継盤60の電力需要制御部56でバッテリー50からの予備電源の供給による動作に切り替える制御を行うようにしても良い。これにより中継盤60に地震検出器42と周波数低下検出器44を設ける必要がないことから、中継盤60の構成を簡単にすることができる。 As another embodiment of the distributed system, the earthquake detector 42 and the frequency drop detector 44 are provided only in the R-type receiver 12 and not in the relay board 60, and the R-type receiver 12 is used for earthquake detection. When both frequency drops are determined, a demand suppression instruction signal is transmitted to the relay board 60 by the network line 62, and the power demand control unit 56 of the relay board 60 controls to switch to the operation by supplying the standby power supply from the battery 50. You may do it. As a result, it is not necessary to provide the relay board 60 with the earthquake detector 42 and the frequency drop detector 44, so that the configuration of the relay board 60 can be simplified.

[本発明の変形例]
(火災報知設備)
上記の実施形態は、火災感知器等の端末アドレスを取得して火災発生場所を特定可能なR型受信機を用いた火災報知設備を例にとるものであったが、これに限定されず、受信機から引き出され信号回線単位に火災を検出して警報するP型受信機を用いた火災報知設備についても同様に適用できる。
[Modification of the present invention]
(Fire alarm system)
The above embodiment is an example of a fire alarm system using an R-type receiver capable of acquiring a terminal address of a fire detector or the like and identifying the location of a fire, but the present embodiment is not limited to this. The same can be applied to a fire alarm system using a P-type receiver that is drawn from a receiver and detects and warns a fire on a signal line basis.

また、上記の実施形態は火災報知設備を例にとるものであったが、商用交流電源の停電時にバッテリーからの予備電源の供給に切り替えて動作する防災設備であれば、適宜の防災設備に、地震検出信号と周波数低下検出信号に基づいて、バッテリーからの予備電源の供給に切り替えることで、地震発生時の電力需要量の抑制に貢献することができる。 Further, although the above embodiment takes fire alarm equipment as an example, if it is a disaster prevention equipment that operates by switching to the supply of backup power from a battery in the event of a power failure of a commercial AC power supply, it can be used as an appropriate disaster prevention equipment. By switching to the supply of backup power from the battery based on the earthquake detection signal and the frequency drop detection signal, it is possible to contribute to suppressing the power demand in the event of an earthquake.

(省電力制御)
地震検出と周波数低下に基づきバッテリーからの予備電源供給に切り替えたときの省電力モードでの省電力制御は、上記の実施形態に限定されず、火災監視に最小限必要な所定の省電力監視制御を行うものであれば、適宜の動作の停止や制限を行って消費電力を低減するものを含む。
(Power saving control)
The power saving control in the power saving mode when switching to the standby power supply from the battery based on the earthquake detection and the frequency decrease is not limited to the above embodiment, and the predetermined power saving monitoring control required for fire monitoring is the minimum. If the above is performed, the power consumption is reduced by appropriately stopping or limiting the operation.

(その他)
また、本発明はその目的と利点を損なうことのない適宜の変形を含み、更に上記の実施形態に示した数値による限定は受けない。
