[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a portable electric light with an earthquake-sensitive disaster prevention radio.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The conventional portable light for disaster prevention is hung as a wall-hanging type in the bedroom, living room, office, etc., or placed on a desk and prepared as a lighting tool to evacuate in the event of a night fire or earthquake. Generally, dry batteries are used as the power source for these portable electric lights, but some have built-in rechargeable batteries that can be constantly charged. Among these portable electric lights, some of them are wall-mounted and automatically light up when they are removed during use.

As a radio for obtaining emergency information by broadcasting when an earthquake or disaster occurs, a radio usually installed in a living room or a bedroom, or a portable radio is used. In addition, television receivers are also a powerful source of information, but these means of obtaining information are utilized by the user turning on the switch whenever necessary.

[0004] Further, there is a case where a portable electric lamp and a radio are built in one housing, but they are usually treated as separate devices, and the user finds out where they are every time it is needed. After that, the switch was turned on and it could be used.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The above-mentioned conventional portable electric light for disaster prevention is used for lighting for emergency evacuation in the event of a disaster such as a night earthquake. It may take some time to find it, or it may be necessary to find the portable light after first turning on the room light, and the evacuation period may be delayed. However, there is a drawback that it is useless.

In addition, since a radio required for obtaining information in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake is generally placed in a place different from the above-mentioned portable electric light, at night, after turning on the indoor light or the portable electric light, It will be possible to obtain information only after searching for the location and turning on the switch to match the broadcasting frequency of the broadcasting station that sends the desired information. There is a drawback in that it is extremely difficult to obtain the necessary information by performing these operations in a short time when a disaster such as a night earthquake occurs.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to carry and evacuate by equipping these two devices in a short time when an emergency at night is required.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to immediately act in response to an earthquake when a night-time earthquake occurs, to easily find the location even in dark conditions, to easily carry out the equipment, and to use the necessary lighting and information at the same time. , To provide a portable light with an earthquake-sensitive disaster prevention radio.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The portable electric light with an earthquake-sensitive disaster prevention radio of the present invention includes a radio broadcast receiver, a portable electric light, a power supply unit for supplying electricity to the receiver and the electric light, and an electric power supply from the power supply unit to the receiver and the electric light. An electric circuit to be supplied, a relay for opening and closing the electric circuit, an earthquake detector arranged in the relay circuit for energizing the relay when an earthquake is detected, and a portable housing for housing these. As a desirable mode, the seismic sensing section is provided on the spring body, one end of which is fixed to the housing and which is in the vertical direction when the housing is placed stationary, and the other end of the spring body. When the weight oscillates in the horizontal direction due to an earthquake, it includes an electrically conductive weight and a conductive torus that is provided at a right angle to the spring body so as to surround the weight. The weight contacts the torus and closes the relay circuit. The circular ring of the seismic sensing unit has horizontal shafts that extend to both outsides of the ring along the line that includes the center of the ring, and can be tilted around the shaft. It is also preferable that the housing has a permanent magnet for mounting on a magnetic wall.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a portable electric light with an earthquake-sensitive disaster prevention radio of the present invention, Fig. 2 is an explanatory view of the principle of an earthquake detector, and Fig. 2 (A) shows the configuration and Fig. 2 ( FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a state in which the sensor weight 7b swings and is in contact with the torus 8 due to an earthquake, and FIG. 2C is a diagram showing a state in which the torus 8 is tilted.

The radio broadcast receiver 1 is a small radio that receives emergency information by broadcasting and is operated by electricity from a power supply unit, and is adapted to tune to the broadcasting frequency of the broadcasting station that broadcasts the emergency information. Set in advance. The portable electric lamp 2 is a small-sized illuminating lamp that emits electricity from the power source, and is used as indoor lighting in an emergency and as a portable illuminating lamp in evacuation. The storage battery 3 is a power source for a relay circuit including a radio, a portable electric light and an earthquake detector, and is constantly charged to a required voltage from an external 100 volt outlet via the plug 9. A dry battery may be used as a power source instead of the storage battery 3.

The earthquake detector 6 is composed of an earthquake detector 7 and an annular body 8. The seismic sensor 7 is composed of a weight 7b formed of a vertical cylindrical conductor at one end and an elongated spring body 7a supporting the weight, and is perpendicular to the bottom surface 5a of the portable housing 5. When the casing is installed so that the bottom surface 5a is substantially horizontal, the spring body 7a is substantially vertical. The weight 7b of the seismic sensor 7 is supported at one end of the spring body 7a so that the weight 7b can freely swing in the horizontal direction. Therefore, due to the shaking of the earthquake, the weight 7b swings with an amplitude proportional to the strength of the shaking. It swings horizontally in the direction. The torus 8 is a conductor ring body which has a circular inner diameter and is provided around the weight 7b in a direction perpendicular to the spring body 7a around the weight 7b, and is a horizontal shaft portion including the center of the ring body. 8 a and 8 b project outward from the ring body and are rotatably supported by a bracket 5 c of the housing 5. Further, one shaft portion 8a has a groove 8c on its head, and the shaft portion is rotated by a driver through an adjustment hole 5b provided in the side wall of the housing 5, so that the annular body 8 is inclined with respect to the spring body 7a. You can do it. The seismic sensor 7 and the torus 8 are electrically arranged in series in a relay circuit (not shown).

When the earthquake detector 6 detects an earthquake and closes the relay circuit, the relay 4 holds the relay circuit and closes the main circuits for the radio and the electric light. The main circuit for the radio and the electric light is provided with a manual switch 10 with a plurality of contacts so that one or both of the main circuit of the radio or the electric light can be selectively switched on or off. Furthermore, a reset switch 12 for turning off the relay 4 for holding the main circuit is provided. The permanent magnet 13 is provided on the side surface of the housing 5, and is used to mount and hold the housing 5 on a magnetic wall or a pillar, so that the permanent magnet 13 can be easily installed from the installation location when carrying the product of the present invention. It can be removed. The housing 5 is provided with a hanging hand 5d for hanging on the wall surface, a hanging string convenient for carrying, a holding hand 5e, and the like. The plug 9 holds the housing 5 on the wall surface by inserting it into a 100-volt outlet provided on the wall surface and guides an external 100-volt power source from the outlet to the storage battery 3 for charging.

By providing another terminal (not shown) in parallel with the main circuit to the radio and the electric light, and connecting a warning light, a buzzer, or the like, or a safety circuit such as a gas cutoff valve to this, These can be activated simultaneously when an earthquake occurs.

Next, a method of using the product according to the present invention will be described. First, install this product in the bedroom, living room, office, or any other location that is needed in the event of a night earthquake. In this case, the bottom surface 5a of the housing 5 should be almost horizontal regardless of whether it is installed on an iron wall or pillar with a permanent magnet, hung with a hanging hand, or placed on a desk. To be It is also possible to install the plug 9 by inserting it into a wall outlet. If you cannot insert the plug 9 directly into the wall outlet, use the cord to connect to the outlet. The manual switch 10 is operated so that the radio and the light are connected to the main circuit from the storage battery 3. The radio should be tuned to the broadcast frequency in advance. When it is desired to increase the sensitivity of the earthquake detector 6, the groove 8c provided on the head of the shaft 8a of the torus 8 is rotated from the adjustment hole 5b with a screwdriver to move the torus 8 from the horizontal position. Inclination is performed to reduce the distance w between the inner diameter of the torus and the weight 7b of the seismic sensor 7 so that the weight 7b and the torus 8 can easily come into contact with each other even with a small shaking.

When an earthquake occurs, first, the weight 7b of the earthquake sensor 7 swings horizontally in the direction of the earthquake and contacts the inside of the torus 8. As a result, a current flows through the relay circuit and the relay is energized, and a current flows from the storage battery 3 through the main circuit to the radio and the electric lamp to activate both at the same time. Even in a dark place, you can find out where you are with a light, so remove it from the installation site and carry it when you evacuate. By operating the manual switch 10, either one or both of the radio and / or the electric light can be selectively turned off or activated. At the end of use, press the reset switch 12 to return the relay 4 to the initial state, place the manual switch 10 at the connection position of the main circuit of the radio and the light, return the housing to the installation position, and plug the plug 9 into an outlet. Connect and leave it in a charged state.
