[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a toilet centralized monitoring apparatus suitable for centrally monitoring the usage status of a plurality of toilets at one location.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the past, for example, in toilets such as the Shinkansen, there were many accidents in which the doors could not be opened due to the vibration and distortion of the vehicle running at high speeds. A system for monitoring in a room is adopted.

However, in the case of toilets in hospitals and the like, the present situation is that no consideration is given to providing any kind of monitoring device despite the fact that various patients are hospitalized. This may be due to the fact that there is a nurse's station on each floor, but in the event of an emergency in the toilet, it is unfortunate. Also, even though public facilities such as public halls are used by an unspecified number of people, toilets are completely defenseless. However, there are some considerations such as laying out the toilet as close to the control room as possible, so that it can be reached by calling out loud in an emergency, but it is not always enough.

Here, the following may be expected as occurrence of an emergency situation. When you fall down in the toilet or feel faint. When you suddenly feel sick and want to call an attendant. When the key is broken and cannot be taken out. When you run out of toilet paper. When the water is or has not been drained. When it is used for a long time such as sleeping or reading during busy hours. When you feel yourself in danger such as peeping or molesting. When used for a long time for criminal purposes.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above situation, and it is possible to intensively and surely monitor the usage status of a toilet regardless of the position of the building, and in an emergency. It is an object of the present invention to provide a centralized monitoring system for toilets that enables immediate measures.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a device for centrally monitoring the usage status of a plurality of toilets at one location, which is attached to a door of a toilet to perform a closing operation and an opening operation of the door. Detecting a door switch, a timer for measuring the elapsed time from the closing operation to the opening operation of the door based on the detection signal of the door switch, and an alarm after the time measured by the timer elapses a predetermined time. And an alarm device for transmitting.

A push-button switch that can be operated in the event of an internal emergency may be installed in the toilet, and the upper limit of the time set in the timer is set to the toilet for general users.

[Embodiment of device]

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of the present invention. In this figure, reference numeral 1 is a toilet provided with a toilet 2, which is surrounded on three sides by side walls 3a, 3b and 3c, and an openable door 4 is attached to the entrance. 5 is, for example, a monitoring room provided in the same building.

Reference numeral 6 is a door switch such as a proximity switch mounted in the toilet 1, which is composed of, for example, a reed switch box 7 mounted on the side wall 3a and a magnet 8 mounted on the door 4 side (see FIG. 2 (a)). Then, the lead switch 9 and the yellow lamp 10 are attached to the reed switch box 7. Reference numeral 11 denotes, for example, an emergency push button switch box attached to the side wall 3c, to which a push button 12 and a red lamp 13 are attached as shown in FIG. 2 (b).

Reference numeral 14 denotes a centralized monitoring panel installed in the monitoring room 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 2 (c), an alarm circuit normal operation display lamp 15 and an entry alarm display lamp 16 corresponding to the number of toilets 1. The emergency call display lamps 17 are arranged in a line, and one reset push button switch 18 is attached. In addition, as will be described later, a timer, a buzzer, a relay, etc. are built therein.

Then, the lead switch box 7 of the door switch 6 and the emergency push button switch box 11 are connected to the centralized monitoring panel 14 through the line 19, respectively, so that the toilet centralized monitoring device 20 is provided. Composed. An example of a specific alarm circuit of this toilet centralized monitoring device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, for simplification of description, this figure shows the case where there is only one toilet 1.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 21 denotes a DC power supply circuit, which converts an AC 100V 50Hz (or 60Hz) AC power supply into a DC 12V DC power supply. 22 is a timer, which can be variably set between 0 and 60 minutes. Reference numeral 23 is a first relay (R ₁ ), 24 is a buzzer, and 25 is a second relay (R ₂ ). When the alarm circuit is normal, the alarm circuit normal operation display lamp 15 is lit.

Here, regarding the set time of the timer 22, when the person falls down in the toilet described in the section of the prior art or loses his / her faintness, he / she sleeps or reads for a long time. This is intended for general users, considering an emergency situation where the person using the toilet is unconscious, such as when the toilet is used for a long time for criminal purposes. The maximum is 30 minutes for toilets and 40 minutes for disabled people.

The reason for this is that, according to the research conducted by the present inventors, in the case of general people, when the usage time of inpatients and outpatients in a nearby hospital was measured, it was compared with healthy people. Although the movement is slow, most people are used up within 30 minutes at the longest, and even if they fall down, they will be used except for diseases that compete for seconds such as heart system diseases. If so, it has been found that there are many cases in which the human life is saved by early detection within 2 to 30 minutes, and the illness in which recovery is quicker thereafter is common.

In addition, in the case of a physically handicapped person, even considering the time to get on and off the wheelchair and the time when the caregiver will help, a margin of about 10 minutes is more than that of a general person (patient of a healthy person). It is based on the fact that it is sufficient to save it. Therefore, when a person enters the toilet 1 and closes the door 4, the reed switch 9 operates due to the approach of the magnet 8 to turn on the timer 22, the timer 22 starts the time measuring operation, and the yellow lamp 10 and the centralized monitoring panel 14 operate. The entry warning display lamp 16 of the applicable toilet 1 above lights up. Then, when the door 4 is opened to the outside after being used within a predetermined time, the reed switch 9 is turned off by moving the magnet 8 away, and the timer 22 is reset. At the same time, the yellow lamp 10 and the entry alarm display lamp 16 go out.

However, if the door 4 is not opened within the set time of the timer 22, the contact point 22a of the timer 22 is turned on, the first relay (R ₁ ) 23 is operated, and the buzzer 24 sounds. Both the red lamp 13 and the emergency call indicator lamp 17 light up. Therefore, in the monitoring room 5, the supervisor presses the reset push button switch 18 to demagnetize the second relay (R ₂ ) 25 and turn off the contact point 25a to turn off the sound of the buzzer 24, and in the toilet 1. When it is determined that an accident has occurred, instruct the patrol person to perform an internal inspection of the relevant toilet 1. The red lamp 13 and the emergency call display lamp 17 continue to light until the emergency is cleared.

Among the above-mentioned emergencies, when the person suddenly feels sick and wants to call an attendant, when the key is broken and the person cannot get out, or when there is no toilet paper and there is a problem, water comes out. If you are left alone, do not come out, or if you feel personal danger such as peeping or molesting, it is in a state that the person using it can judge, so the push button of the emergency push button switch box 11 By pressing 12, the buzzer 24 of the centralized monitoring panel 14 installed in the monitoring room 5 can sound and the red lamp 13 and the emergency call display lamp 17 can be turned on. You can notify the existing observers.
