Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a switch device that operates when an inward opening type door is opened, and an indoor energization control device provided with the switch device.

Conventionally, in lodging facilities such as business hotels, keys are computerized as door locking/unlocking devices provided at the entrances and exits of guest rooms, and key information is issued to guest room users at the time of reservation or check-in, and the key information are authenticated by a locking/unlocking device from outside the passenger compartment to unlock (Patent Documents 1 and 2, Non-Patent Document 1).

In recent years, portable devices such as IC cards and smart phones having short-range wireless communication functions with locking/unlocking devices have been used to issue the key information. When using an IC card, an IC card stored with key information is lent to the user at the check-in counter. When using a smartphone, a predetermined key management application is installed in a mobile communication device such as a smartphone possessed by the user, and key information is stored in the mobile communication device by reading a two-dimensional code (Patent Document 2, Non Patent document 1).

The systems disclosed in Patent Literature 2 and Non-Patent Literature 1 include a control unit that controls whether or not to energize electrical equipment installed in the passenger cabin. The control unit has a switch device with which the IC card is inserted/extracted. When the user inserts the IC card into the card slot of the switching device after entering the room, the control unit starts control to switch the electrical equipment such as lighting equipment to a state in which it can be energized. When the user pulls out the IC card from the card slot when leaving the room, the control unit starts control to switch the electrical equipment to a non-energized state. Therefore, it is possible to reliably cut off the energization of unnecessary electric devices after leaving the room.

Shibutani Co., Ltd., digital catalog “Clavis”, p. 69-76, May 2021, retrieved on May 28, 2021, Internet <URL: https://service. aladdin-book. jp/clavis2021/book/#target/page_no=71>

However, in the system disclosed in Patent Literature 2, it is necessary to lend an IC card to a user when checking in and to receive the IC card back from the user when checking out, which makes management of the IC card troublesome.

On the other hand, in a system that supports key information authentication means other than an IC card, as in Non-Patent Document 1, when a user who uses a lodging room alone stores the key information in his or her mobile communication device, the IC card must be borrowed. Since this is unnecessary, it is possible to reduce the face-to-face contact between employees and users at the check-in counter, reduce the work burden, and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

However, if the IC card is not lent to the user, it is inconvenient that switching of energization control at the time of entering and leaving the room, which depends on the card slot type switch device, cannot be performed in the guest room.

In view of the above background, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to enable switching of energization control in a room when entering or leaving a room even when an IC card is not lent to the user of the room.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an inward-opening door that swings between an ON position in which it falls into an open door space through which it opens from a closed position and an OFF position in which it is out of the open door space. A lever arranged so as to be able to move up and down around a drive shaft, and a falling motion in which the lever is tilted from the OFF position to the ON position by a person occupied in the room is converted into a first signal, and the lever moves from the ON position to the ON position. and a signal generator for converting the rising motion caused to the OFF position into a second signal.

According to the above configuration, when entering the room, the person in the room can be made to turn the lever to the ON position in order to use the electrical equipment in the room, and the first signal can be output from the signal generator, thereby leaving the room. Occasionally, before the occupant opens the door, the occupant is forced to raise the lever in the ON position to the OFF position, or the door that opens the lever in the ON position is kicked to the OFF position, causing the signal generator to A second signal can be output. These first and second signals can be used to control power supply to electrical equipment in the room.

Therefore, according to the present invention, by adopting the above configuration, it is possible to switch the energization control in the room when entering and leaving the room even when the IC card is not lent to the user of the room.

Doors 103 that open inward are installed at the entrances of the rooms 101 and 102, respectively. The inward-opening door 103 is a single swing door that opens from the closed position to the indoor side. The hanger side of the door 103 is connected to the door frame 104 of the entrance via a door hinge. A locking/unlocking device 105 is attached to the door tip side of the door 103 .

The locking/unlocking device 105 automatically unlocks when the key information is authenticated, and automatically locks when the door 103 reaches the closed position after the door is opened. The locking/unlocking device 105 has a wireless communication function capable of communicating with a portable device (not shown) such as an IC card storing key information or a smart phone. Key information is issued to a mobile device owned by a user when making a reservation for accommodation or checking in to the accommodation facility 100 . The user transmits the key information from the portable device to the locking/unlocking device 105 of the assigned room 101,102.

The locking/unlocking device 105 has a function of authenticating key information by a means different from that of an IC card. It has both functions of receiving key information from a mobile communication device and performing authentication. For example, there is MIFARE (registered trademark) as a wireless communication standard for key information authentication between the locking/unlocking device 105 and an IC card equipped with an RFID tag. Bluetooth (registered trademark) is an example of a wireless communication standard for key information authentication between. As such a locking/unlocking device, for example, the one disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 can be employed.

In the rooms 101 and 102, various electric appliances such as lighting fixtures, televisions, ventilating fans, air conditioners, refrigerators, and outlets are installed. Also, in each of the rooms 101 and 102, a control unit 110 is installed to control whether or not to enable or disable power supply control to predetermined electrical equipment installed in the room.

When the user pulls out the IC card 120 from the card slot type switch device 111, the microcomputer 112, triggered by the loss of detection of the IC card 120, starts control to switch the predetermined electric devices 131 and 132 to a non-energized state.

The control unit 110 has relays 113 and 114 incorporated in a circuit (indoor electrical wiring) that supplies power from a power supply to predetermined electrical devices 131 and 132, and controls the opening and closing of the relays 113 and 114 to control the above-described energization control is performed. The electrical equipment 131, 132 has a circuit for switching between connection and disconnection with the commercial power supply, and the control unit wirelessly transmits a command to connect or disconnect the commercial power supply to the electrical equipment, whereby power supply control is performed. For example, the system disclosed in Patent Document 2 can be adopted.

Lighting devices installed indoors are connected to relays 113 and 114 as predetermined electric devices 131 and 132 . For example, main lighting installed on the ceilings of the rooms 101 and 102 shown in FIG. The number and types of electrical devices under the control of the control unit 110 are not particularly limited. good.

The switch device 1 is installed on the inner wall surface positioned around the door 103 of each of the rooms 101 and 102 , for example, on the room side of the door frame 104 .

In FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b), the door 103 is in a locked closed position. In FIG. 2, the trajectory drawn by the edge of the door 103 when the door 103 is opened and closed is indicated by an arc-shaped dashed line. A space between the arc-shaped dashed line and the edge of the door 103 on the hanger side corresponds to the opening space of the door 103 .

The lever 3 is arranged so as to be able to move up and down around the swing shaft 3a between an ON position in which the door 103 is laid down and an OFF position in which the door 103 is out of the open door space.

As shown in FIG. 1(a), when the lever 3 is in the ON position in the space inside the room with respect to the door 103 in the closed position, the lever 3 faces the indoor surface of the door 103 in the opening/closing direction A of the door 103. there is Here, the opening/closing direction A of the door 103 means the direction in which the door 103 moves around the opening/closing axis (hinge axis) on the hanger side.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, when the lever 3 is in the OFF position in the space inside the room with respect to the door 103 in the closed position, the lever 3 is opposed to the indoor surface of the door 103 in the opening/closing direction A of the door 103. It is not in contact with the door 103 .

Lever 3 is provided as a door guard that limits the opening angle of door 103 . The lever 3 is made of a U-shaped metal member, as shown in FIG. The swing shafts 3a are provided at the U-shaped ends of the lever 3, respectively, and are fitted into the bearing holes of the lever seat 2. As shown in FIG. A door guard receiver 103 a is fixed to the panel on the interior side of the door 103 .

A person (not shown) who has entered the rooms 101 and 102 shown in FIG. An operation of tilting from the position to the ON position and an operation of raising from the ON position to the OFF position can be performed. As shown in FIG. 1A, when the door 103 is opened from the closed position while the lever 3 is in the ON position and the door guard receiver 103a is positioned inside the U-shape of the lever 3, the door is opened from the closed position. When the opening angle of the door 103 in the opening/closing direction A reaches a predetermined value, the U-shaped inner side of the lever 3 is caught by the door guard receiver 103a to prevent further opening of the door 103.例文帳に追加

A known resistance mechanism (not shown) for a door guard is provided between the lever 3 and the lever seat 2 in order to prevent the lever 3 from arbitrarily falling from the ON position or the OFF position. The resistance mechanism is provided, for example, as a friction portion that resists the falling motion of the lever 3, or urges the lever 3, which has fallen to a rocking angle close to the ON position and far from the OFF position, to the ON position by a spring force, It can be provided as a click mechanism that urges the lever 3 to the OFF position by a spring force when the lever 3 is raised to a swing angle close to the OFF position and far from the ON position.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the signal generator 4 is a circuit board on which two power generation units 5, a polarity detection circuit 6, a rectifier circuit 7, and a microcomputer 8 with a wireless communication circuit are mounted. have

The power generation unit 5 is an electromagnetic induction type power generation element. The power generation unit 5 is configured to rotate the permanent magnets (not shown) in the coils (not shown) forward or backward by pushing the leaf springs 9 or pushing back the pushed leaf springs 9 by the internal springs (not shown). Converting to reversal, it produces electric energy of polarity according to the direction of rotation of the permanent magnet.

A polarity detection circuit 6 detects the polarity of the electrical energy generated by the power generation section 5 and inputs the detection result to the microcomputer 8 .

The rectifier circuit 7 rectifies the electrical energy generated by the power generation unit 5 into a current that can be used as a power source for the microcomputer 8 and supplies the current to the microcomputer 8 .

The microcomputer 8 operates with power supplied from the rectifier circuit 7 . The built-in non-volatile memory of the microcomputer 8 stores in advance the first signal and the second signal as data. The first signal and the second signal contain ID data and are stored in association with polarities. Triggered by power supply from the rectifier circuit 7, the microcomputer 8 transmits a first signal or a second signal corresponding to the detection result (polarity) from the polarity detection circuit 6 from the wireless communication circuit mounted on the microcomputer 8. .

The power generation unit 5 to the microcomputer 8 can be configured using, for example, an EnOcean (registered trademark) wireless communication module.

The signal generator 4, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, has a casing 10 that houses the aforementioned circuit board and the like, and a connector 11 that transmits the falling motion of the lever 3 into the casing 10. As shown in FIG.

The casing 10 has a structure in which two case halves are combined in order to incorporate the aforementioned circuit board and the like, and is fixed to the door frame 104 at the rear surface thereof. By fixing the casing 10 to the door frame 104 , the casing 10 is arranged at a position separated from the opening space of the door 103 .

The connecting body 11 is vertically sandwiched between the casing 10 and the lever 3 . A protrusion 13 positioned in a hole 12 formed in the upper surface of the lever 3 is provided at the lower portion of the connecting body 11 . The connecting body 11 has a shaft portion 14 provided coaxially with the swing shaft 3a, and is rotatably supported around the shaft portion 14 with respect to the casing 10. As shown in FIG. Therefore, when the lever 3 rises and falls, the connecting body 11 receives torque from the lever 3 at the protrusion 13 and can swing integrally with the lever 3 around the same axis.

The switch device 1 has no parts other than the lever 3 and the connecting body 11 that can be positioned in the opening space of the door 103 . Therefore, the signal generator 4 does not have a part other than the connector 11 that can be positioned in the opening space of the door 103 . A portion of the connecting body 11 located outside the casing 10 is provided so as to be accommodated in a space that always overlaps the lever 3 in the vertical direction (corresponding to the direction along the opening/closing axis of the door 103). Thereby, the signal generator 4 is connected to the lever 3 so as not to protrude in the opening/closing direction A of the door 103 with respect to the lever 3 .

Since the lever 3 also serves as a door guard, the lever 3 may be pushed to the ON position with the door 103 open, and then the door 103 may be closed. For example, when a person in the room wants to keep the door 103 slightly open to ventilate the rooms 101 and 102 or adjust the room temperature, the door guard (lever 3) can be inserted between the edge of the door 103 and the door frame 104. can be considered. In such a case, the door 103 is closed with the lever 3 turned to the ON position, and the lever 3 may hit the outdoor side of the door 103 at this time. Even if such a situation occurs, since the signal generator 4 including the connecting body 11 is connected to the lever 3 so as not to protrude from the lever 3 in the opening/closing direction A of the door 103, the signal generator 4 will not be hit by the door 103, and damage to the signal generator 4 can be prevented.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 4, and 6, a leaf spring 9 of the first power generation portion 5 is provided on the upper portion of the connecting body 11 to rotate the shaft portion 14 when the lever 3 is tilted from the OFF position to the ON position. A cam portion 15 is provided for converting the operation of pressing the . In FIG. 6, the cam portion 15 when the lever 3 reaches the ON position shown in FIG. The cam portion 15 when reaching is drawn with a dashed line.

As the corresponding leaf spring 9 is pushed by the forward rotation of the cam portion 15 integrated with the tilting motion of the lever 3, the corresponding power generation portion 5 generates electrical energy of the first polarity, and the polarity corresponds to the corresponding leaf spring 9. The microcomputer 8 transmits the first signal to the control section 110 . In this manner, the signal generator 4 can convert the falling motion of the lever 3 from the OFF position to the ON position into the first signal and output the converted first signal to the control unit 110 .

In addition, as the leaf spring 9 is pushed back by the built-in spring of the corresponding power generation unit 5 in response to the reverse rotation of the cam portion 15 integral with the upright movement of the lever 3, the corresponding power generation unit 5 is electrically operated with the second polarity. Energy is generated and the microcomputer 8 transmits a second signal corresponding to its polarity from the wireless communication circuit. In this manner, the signal generator 4 can convert the rising movement of the lever 3 from the ON position to the OFF position into the second signal and output the converted second signal to the controller 110 .

As described above, the first signal or the second signal output from the signal generator 4 by radio transmission is received by the radio communication circuit of the microcomputer 112 provided in the control section 110 shown in FIGS. The microcomputer 112 initiates control to switch the predetermined electric devices 131 and 132 to a state in which they can be energized upon receipt of the first signal output when the lever 3 is tilted. In addition, the microcomputer 112, triggered by the reception of the second signal output when the lever 3 is raised, starts control to switch the predetermined electric devices 131 and 132 to a non-energized state.

In the wireless transmission between the control unit 110 and the signal generator 4, the source can be identified by reading the first signal or the second signal received by the control unit 110, and the source is in the same room. Only in the case of the installed signal generator 4, of course, the controller 110 should be configured to perform the above-described energization control based on the first signal or the second signal. The control unit 110 may start corresponding control upon receipt of the first signal or the second signal, and is limited to instantly switching whether or not the electrical devices 131 and 132 under its control can be energized. Delay control may be performed instead. For example, when receiving the second signal, the microcomputer 112 may start a built-in timer of the microcomputer 112, and switch between opening and closing of specific relays 113 and 114 when a predetermined period of time elapses according to the timer. The delay control is suitable, for example, in the case of performing energization control of a foot light as an electric device. When leaving the room, before opening the door 103, the floor surface near the door 103 is continuously illuminated for a certain period of time after the lever 3 is set to the OFF position. By doing so, it is possible to ensure the safety of the feet and facilitate preparations for leaving the room, such as taking out luggage.

The signal generator 4 has an operation mechanism for switching energization control of the electric devices 131 and 132 in a non-interlocking manner with the tilting motion of the lever 3 . In order to equip the casing 10 with the operation mechanism, the casing 10 is formed with a slit-shaped insertion opening 16 and an operation window 17, as shown in FIGS.

A predetermined molding tool 140 is inserted into and removed from the insertion opening 16 in a straight line direction. The predetermined mold tool 140 is a card having the same shape as the IC card 120 shown in FIG. That is, since the predetermined mold tool 140 is an IC card compatible with the locking/unlocking device 105, the IC card used by the employee to unlock the door during cleaning can be used as the predetermined mold tool 140. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, it is interlocked with a predetermined operation (push operation in the illustrated example) on the operation portion 18 exposed from the operation window 17 of the casing 10 and withdrawing/inserting the predetermined molding tool 140 from/to the insertion port 16, and An operating mechanism that operates uninterlocked with the falling motion of the lever 3 is incorporated inside the casing 10 . Although a plurality of power generation units 5 and leaf springs 9 are shown in FIG. 4, there may be only one power generation unit 5 and leaf springs 9 so that both the operation unit 18 and the lever 3 can be used to operate the power generation unit 5 and the leaf springs 9. .

The illustrated operating mechanism includes a swing shaft 19 held inside the casing 10, a movable body 20 supported inside the casing 10 via the swing shaft 19, and a return spring that biases the movable body 20. 21.

The movable body 20 is provided so as to be able to swing about a swing shaft 19 between a standby position and an operating position. In FIG. 8, the movable body 20 at the standby position is drawn with a solid line, and the movable body 20 at the operating position is drawn with a dashed line. The movable body 20 is arranged so as not to come into contact with the connecting body 11 (lever 3). The operation unit 18 is configured by a part of the movable body 20 and is positioned on one swing end side of the movable body 20 with respect to the swing shaft 19 . Further, the movable body 20 has a slit portion 22 on one swing end side of the movable body 20 with respect to the swing shaft 19 and on the back side of the operation portion 18 , and has a slit portion 22 on the other side of the movable body 20 with respect to the swing shaft 19 . has an arm portion 23 for pushing the leaf spring 9 of the second power generation portion 5 on the swing end side of the . The return spring 21 is interposed between the arm portion 23 and the inside of the casing 10 . A communication space 24 is formed in the casing 10 for advancing and retracting the slit portion 22 to the insertion port 16 .

By pushing the operation portion 18 of the movable body 20, the arm portion 23 is swung from the standby position to the operating position, and at this time, the return spring 21 compressed by the arm portion 23 moves the movable body 20 to the standby position. The arm portion 23 pushes the corresponding leaf spring 9, the second power generating portion 5 generates electric energy of the first polarity, and the first polarity corresponding to the polarity is stored. A signal is transmitted from the wireless communication circuit by the microcomputer 8 . When the operating portion 18 is pushed and the movable body 20 is at the operating position, the predetermined mold tool 140 is inserted into the insertion port 16 , and the predetermined mold tool 140 enters the slit portion 22 of the movable body 20 , and the return spring 21 is activated. prevents the return movement of the movable body 20 to the standby position against the urging of . For this reason, the corresponding leaf spring 9 remains pressed, the second signal is not transmitted, and the predetermined mold tool 140 is pulled out from the insertion port 16, thereby returning the movable body 20 from the operating position to the standby position. When the corresponding leaf spring 9 is pushed back by the built-in spring of the corresponding power generating unit 5, the corresponding power generating unit 5 generates electric energy of the second polarity, and the second signal corresponding to the polarity is generated. is transmitted by the microcomputer 8 from the wireless communication circuit.

The switch device 1 according to the embodiment is as described above (hereinafter, refer to the accompanying drawings as appropriate), and the switch device 1 passes through when the inward-opening door 103 is opened from the closed position. A lever 3 arranged so as to be able to move up and down around a swing shaft 3a between an ON position in which it falls in the open door space and an OFF position out of the open door space, and a lever 3 provided as a door guard are provided in a chamber 101. , 102 by a person occupied in the room from the OFF position to the ON position is converted into a first signal, and the rising motion of the lever 3 raised from the ON position to the OFF position is converted into a second signal. By providing the device 4, when entering the room, in order to use the electric devices 131 and 132 such as the lighting devices in the rooms 101 and 102, the person in the room is made to operate the lever 3 to the ON position to generate a signal. While the first signal can be output from the device 4, when leaving the room, before the person in the room opens the door 103, the person in the room raises the lever 3 from the ON position to the OFF position in order to cancel the door guard function. An operation can be performed to cause the signal generator 4 to output a second signal. These first and second signals can be used to control the energization of the electric appliances 131 and 132 in the room. Therefore, the switch device 1 can switch the energization control in the rooms 101 and 102 at the time of entering and leaving the rooms even when the IC card is not lent to the users of the rooms 101 and 102 .

In particular, in the switch device 1, since the lever 3 is provided as a door guard that limits the opening angle of the door 103, the lever 3 can be used both as the door guard and the cost can be reduced. can be reliably used to prevent intrusion into the rooms 101 and 102, and when leaving the room, the lever 3 can be reliably raised to the OFF position to release the door guard function, and the unnecessary electrical equipment 131 , 132 can be reliably cut off.

In addition, the switch device 1 is connected to the lever 3 so that the signal generator 4 does not protrude from the lever 3 in the opening/closing direction of the door 103, so that the door 103 is turned on when the lever 3 is pushed down to the ON position. is closed, the signal generator 4 is not hit by the door 103, and damage to the signal generator 4 can be prevented.

Further, the switch device 1 operates without being interlocked with the up-and-down motion of the lever 3 when the signal generator 4 operates the casing 10 into which the predetermined mold tool 140 can be pulled out and inserted, and the operating portion 18 exposed from the casing 10 . and converts the motion of the operating mechanism when operating the operating portion 18 into a first signal, and converts the return motion opposite to the motion of the operating mechanism into a second signal. The return movement of the operating mechanism is prevented by inserting a predetermined mold tool 140 into the chamber 101, 102, thereby improving the convenience of the employee when cleaning the rooms 101 and 102, making the bed, etc. , unauthorized control by a mischievous operation to the operation unit 18 can be prevented. That is, when an employee works with the door 103 open, he can operate the operation unit 18 to insert the predetermined mold tool 140 into the casing 10 without turning the lever 3 to the ON position. Electrical devices 131, 132 such as lighting devices in 102 can be used. If the same operation is performed when the employee frequently opens and closes the door 103, the employee is not forced to operate the lever 3 to fall down every time the door 103 is opened and closed. Further, when the employee pulls out the predetermined molding tool 140 from the casing 10, the operation mechanism returns and the signal generator 4 transmits the second signal, so that the electric devices 131 and 132 are switched to a non-energized state. . Even if a person who does not possess the predetermined molding tool 140 mischiefly operates the operation part 18, if the mischievous operation is stopped, the return movement of the operation mechanism occurs automatically, so that the electric devices 131 and 132 are switched to a non-energized state.

In addition, the signal generator 4 converts the undulating motion of the lever 3 into electric power, and the switch device 1 uses the electric power to wirelessly transmit the first signal or the second signal. This eliminates the need for a wired connection to a power source, making it environmentally friendly and easy to install in a facility.

Further, the indoor energization control device according to the embodiment includes a control unit 110 that controls whether or not to energize the electric devices 131 and 132 installed in the rooms 101 and 102, and the switch device 1, and the door 103 101 and 102, and is capable of transmitting a first signal and a second signal from the signal generator 4 to the control unit 110. When the control unit 110 receives the first signal , start the control to switch the electric devices 131 and 132 to the energized state, and when the second signal is received, start the control to switch the electric devices 131 and 132 to the energized state. To reduce the need for electricity in rooms 101 and 102 used by users who do not lend IC cards 120 while reducing the rental opportunities, reducing the work load due to face-to-face customer service at the check-in counter, and preventing the spread of infectious diseases. Power supply to equipment can be prevented.

The reason why the controller 110 installed in the room 101 for one person is provided with the card slot switch device 111 is that the user lends out the IC card 120 when the key information is not stored in the user's portable communication device. It is for the sake of becoming.

The reason why the control unit 110 installed in the room 102 for multiple people is equipped with the card slot type switch device 111 is that even if one user leaves the room, other users remain in the room. This is so that the electric devices 131 and 132 such as lighting devices in the room 102 can be used. Therefore, the control unit 110 gives priority to the energization control based on whether or not the IC card 120 is detected in the card slot switch device 111 over the energization control based on the first signal or the second signal from the switch device 1. It's becoming

Further, the indoor energization control device including the switch device 1 and the control unit 110 is not limited to use in accommodation facilities. It can be used in any suitable facility for use in obtaining a second signal. For example, in addition to lodging facilities, it can also be applied to indoor energization control devices in karaoke rooms, rental conference rooms, and the like.

Also, an example of wirelessly transmitting the first signal and the second signal from the signal generator 4 to the control unit 110 has been shown, but the transmission medium of the first signal and the second signal is not limited to wireless communication. , it is also possible to employ wired communication.

Moreover, although the lever 3 is provided as a door guard, it is also possible to employ a lever that is not used as a door guard. A modified example thereof is shown in FIG.

In the switch device 30 shown in the figure, a lever 32 is oscillatably supported inside a casing of a signal generator 31 . A state in which the door 103 is in the closed position and the lever 32 is in the ON position is drawn with a solid line. When leaving the room, if the person in the room opens the door 103 without raising the lever 32 to the OFF position, the lever 32 in the ON position is kicked up by the opening door 103 as drawn by the dashed line in FIG. is displaced to the OFF position.

The switch device 30 is provided so as to be displaced from the ON position to the OFF position when the lever 32 is kicked up by the opening door 103, so that it is possible to save the trouble of raising the lever 32 when leaving the room. However, it is possible to cause the signal generator 31 to output the second signal.

It should be considered that the embodiments disclosed this time are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims, and is intended to include all changes within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims.
