DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fire extinguisher case used for managing a fire extinguisher by a centralized control device installed at a different location.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In buildings such as apartment houses and office buildings, it is mandatory to install a fire extinguisher.

[0003] However, the installation location of the fire extinguisher is often determined after the building is completed, and it is difficult to wire a new code for managing the fire extinguisher. Was difficult to manage. Also, there is usually one fire alarm on each floor,
Even if the fire alarm was sounded at the time of the fire, it was difficult to know where on the floor the fire occurred.

[0004] In addition, the fire extinguisher must be ready for immediate use, and no measures have been taken to prevent theft.

[0005]

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and enables a fire extinguisher to be managed by a centralized control device installed at a different location, so that a detailed fire occurrence location can be immediately identified in the event of a fire. The purpose is not only to make the fire extinguisher stolen, but also to make it immediately known.

[0006]

According to the present invention,
A fire extinguisher case 1 used for a centralized management device 5 in which a plurality of fire extinguisher cases 1 are installed and the presence or absence of a fire extinguisher 2 in the fire extinguisher case 1 is centrally managed at another place. A distance sensor 3a that detects that the device 2 has been removed and emits a signal, an identification signal generating unit 3b that emits an identification signal based on the signal of the distance sensor 3a, and wirelessly transmits the identification signal to the central management device 5. And the wireless transmission means 3c, and the distance sensor 3a is provided above the fire extinguisher 2.

Further, it is preferable that the bell 4 attached to the fire extinguisher case 1 beeps by a signal emitted from the distance sensor 3a to indicate that the fire extinguisher 2 has been taken out.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a fire extinguisher case according to the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an apparatus storage section 1a at the top.
And a box-shaped fire extinguisher case provided with a fire extinguisher storage section 1b at the bottom, and the apparatus storage section 1a and the fire extinguisher storage section 1b are separated by a partition plate 1c. In addition, fire extinguisher storage
1b is open at the front so that the fire extinguisher 2 can be taken out immediately.

A fire extinguisher monitoring device 3 for detecting the presence or absence of the fire extinguisher 2 and sending a signal to the central control device 5 is mounted on the surface of the partition plate 1c on the device storage portion 1a side. Is equipped with a bell 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the fire extinguisher monitoring device 3 includes a distance sensor 3a that detects that the fire extinguisher 2 has been removed and emits a signal, and an identification device that emits an identification signal based on the signal of the distance sensor 3a. It comprises a signal generating means 3b and a radio transmitting means 3C for transmitting the identification signal to the central control device 5 by radio.

The signal of the distance sensor 3a is sent to the identification signal generating means 3b and also sent to the bell 4 via a relay (not shown).

Reference numeral 6 denotes an antenna of the wireless transmission means 3C.

Further, the distance sensor 3a is installed above the fire extinguisher 2 in the fire extinguisher case, so that an obstacle due to wetness by rainwater or the like does not occur.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing an outline of the centralized control device 5, and the fire extinguisher case 1 of the present invention is
A plurality of buildings are installed in a corridor on each floor of a multi-story building.

On each floor, a receiving device (not shown) for receiving the identification signal generated by the fire extinguisher case 1 is installed.
The receiving device is connected by a cable C to a centralized management device 5 provided at another location.

The central control device 5 analyzes the received identification signal and displays on the display panel which fire extinguisher case 1 has output the signal, and is a known device.

Next, the operation when the fire extinguisher 2 is taken out of the fire extinguisher case 1 will be described.

When the fire extinguisher 2 is taken out of the fire extinguisher case 1, the distance sensor 3a stops detecting the fire extinguisher 2 and emits a signal.

Then, the signal of the distance sensor 3a is sent to the identification signal generating means 3b, and the identification signal generating means 3b issues an identification signal for identifying the fire extinguisher case 1.

The identification signal is received by a receiving device (not shown) installed on each floor by the wireless transmitting means 3c,
It is sent to the central management device 5 by the cable C.

The central control device 5 analyzes the transmitted identification signal and displays the number of the fire extinguisher case 1 from which the fire extinguisher 2 has been taken out on its display panel.

The signal emitted by the distance sensor 3a is sent to the identification signal generating means 3b and also to the bell 4, so that the bell 4 rings.

As described above, the person on the same floor can know the position of the fire extinguisher case 1 from which the fire extinguisher 2 has been taken out by the sound of the bell 4. It can be known from the display on the display panel.

[0026]

The fire extinguisher case of the present invention is constructed as described above, and the fire extinguisher 2 can be managed by the central control device 5 installed at a different location, and it is possible to determine from which fire extinguisher case 1 the fire extinguisher 2 was taken out. Therefore, in the event of a fire, not only a detailed fire occurrence location can be immediately known, but even if the fire extinguisher 2 is stolen, which fire extinguisher 2 has been stolen can be immediately known. Further, in the present invention, since the distance sensor 3a is installed above the fire extinguisher 2, an obstacle due to wetness by rainwater or the like does not occur.

Furthermore, if the bell 4 attached to the fire extinguisher case 1 is caused to sound by the signal of the distance sensor 3a, it is possible for a person in the vicinity to know that the fire extinguisher 2 has been taken out. There is an effect that a quick response can be taken.
