Description

  The present invention relates to an alarm device that reliably notifies the occurrence of an earthquake and the visit of a visitor to a hearing impaired person and an elderly person.

  Traditionally, before and after an earthquake or other disaster (such as a tsunami, fire, flood, typhoon, heavy rain, heavy snow, landslide, landslide, eruption, etc.) Means have been taken to report the evacuation status using a wide-area loudspeaker installed by the local government for each predetermined area and a mobile terminal such as a smartphone.

However, in general households that have received such reports, even if they feel shaking at the time of the earthquake, the seismic intensity of the earthquake will remain until the detailed announcement of the occurrence of the earthquake by the Japan Meteorological Agency, broadcasting stations such as TV and radio, etc. The response and the evacuation method could not be taken immediately, and it was just waiting at home.
In addition, even if detailed earthquake information is obtained via TV, radio, etc., it is not possible to take immediate action according to the actual seismic intensity in your area of residence. The installation of a small and lightweight home-use seismometer that can immediately grasp the earthquake occurrence situation of the home was desired.

  Proposals have been made to solve the above problems. For example, an “emergency information system” that can provide an appropriate and effective emergency call even for a hearing impaired person when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs or when there is a risk of occurrence of a disaster (Patent Document) 1) has been proposed and is a known technique. Specifically, a center that transmits an emergency report regarding an earthquake or other disaster as an e-mail to an e-mail address of a mobile phone or other receiving terminal (hereinafter referred to as a mobile phone) via a communication network; The mobile phone or the like provided with at least e-mail receiving means for receiving the e-mail from the center and at least transmitting means in short-distance wireless communication different from the e-mail receiving means, and from the mobile phone or the like A display device that includes at least receiving means for short-range wireless communication for receiving transmission in response to transmission by short-range wireless communication, and is disposed at a stationary position in the house separately from the mobile phone or the like; When the mobile phone or the like receives the electronic mail related to the emergency call message from the center, the mobile phone or the like has The emergency notification text is transferred from the mobile phone or the like to the display device by transmitting the information of the emergency notification text to the reception means of the short-range wireless communication in the display device by the short-range wireless communication transmission means. An emergency call message transfer means, and an emergency call display for displaying at least the emergency call message on the display device when the information is transferred from the mobile phone or the like to the display device by the transfer means. And a control means.

  However, this “emergency information system” is a system that sends emergency alerts and e-mails via information terminals such as personal computers and mobile phones. Therefore, it was difficult to communicate the evacuation warning accurately and without exception.

  In addition, it relates to a small household seismometer, and in particular, in ordinary households, when an earthquake occurs, the seismic intensity of the earthquake is immediately detected and displayed, and a countermeasure according to the seismic intensity is immediately notified by voice. The “small-sized home-use seismometer” (see Patent Document 2) has been proposed and has become a publicly known technique. Specifically, measuring means for measuring the shaking of the earthquake, control means for determining the seismic intensity based on the signal output from the measuring means and registering the seismic intensity and the date and time of occurrence of the earthquake in memory, and output from the control means A home-use compact equipped with display means for displaying the recorded seismic intensity or displaying the seismic intensity registered in the memory and the date and time of occurrence of the earthquake, and voice means for notifying the seismic intensity and a coping method corresponding to the seismic intensity by voice In the seismometer, the display means is a proposal comprising a seismic intensity real-time display means for displaying the seismic intensity of the earthquake in real time in a bar graph.

  However, the proposal for such a "small household seismometer" is a proposal for a small seismometer that has established a means for reporting to healthy persons, and is a function that reliably alerts hearing-impaired persons and bedridden elderly people. It was not a proposal of a seismometer equipped with.

  The applicant has not been able to fully communicate the above-mentioned earthquake warning means by sound in the earthquake alarms proposed so far to the hearing impaired and elderly people who are far away from the ear. Focusing on the fact that people's psychological anxiety has not been resolved, providing an alarm that can be installed at home, and can be used to reliably notify the occurrence of an earthquake with a simple structure and can also notify visitors Based on the idea of whether or not it can be done, we developed a warning device that reliably notifies the deaf and elderly people of the occurrence of earthquakes and visits by visitors. This leads to the proposal of a vessel.

And most important feature that took means to reliably informed.
Hereinafter, embodiments of a hearing impaired person and an alarm device 10 for the elderly according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, but may be changed as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention, that is, within the range of shapes, materials, dimensions, etc. that can exhibit the same operational effects. can do.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of an alarm 10 for a hearing impaired person and an elderly person according to the present invention.
The alarm device 10 for the hearing impaired and the elderly according to the present embodiment includes an earthquake sensing device 20, an interphone device 23, a lamp display device 25, a power supply device 27, and a control device 29. These are installed at predetermined locations (for example, bedrooms, columns, walls, etc.) at home.

  The earthquake sensing device 20 includes a pendulum 21 and a contact body 22 made of a conductive material such as copper, and is accommodated in a predetermined housing. The pendulum 21 is a rod-like body and has a structure suspended by magnetic attachment or the like so as to vibrate due to an earthquake. Further, the contact body 22 is arranged at a predetermined interval from the tip end portion of the pendulum 21 in the outer circumferential direction, and one contact body 22 is arranged in a circumferential shape so as to surround the entire outer periphery of the tip end portion of the pendulum 21. Alternatively, a structure in which a plurality of contact bodies 22 are arranged at substantially equal intervals on the outer periphery of the tip portion of the pendulum 21 is adopted. The seismic sensing device 20 has a structure in which the pendulum 21 vibrates due to the shaking of the earthquake, and the tip of the pendulum 21 comes into contact with the contact body 22 so that energization is turned on only during the contact. . When the energization of the earthquake sensing device 20 is turned on, the electric light lamp 26 of the lamp display device 25 acts to emit light via the control device 29. In addition, when the front-end | tip part of the pendulum 21 will leave | separate from the contact body 22 and will be in a non-contact state, electricity supply will be converted from ON to OFF. That is, when the pendulum 21 vibrates due to the shaking of the earthquake, the pendulum 21 and the contact body 22 are repeatedly contacted and non-contacted, and accordingly, ON / OFF conversion of energization is repeated.

  The distance between the tip of the pendulum 21 and the contact body 22 in the seismic sensing device 20 can be arbitrarily determined in consideration of the swing width of the pendulum 21 for contacting the contact body 22. The seismic intensity (= seismic intensity perceived) when the power is turned on will fluctuate. By applying this action, it can be considered that the distance between the tip of the pendulum 21 and the contact body 22 can be varied. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to arbitrarily set the seismic intensity (= seismic intensity to be sensed) to be energized according to the informed seismic intensity requested by the user.

  The intercom device 23 includes a hand push button 24 for turning on / off the energization, as in a conventional method, and the energization is turned on only while the hand push button 24 is being pushed. However, the intercom device 23 in the present invention does not sound a chime (calling tone) when energization is ON, but acts to emit the electric lamp 26 of the lamp display device 25 via the control device 29. When the hand push button 24 is released, the energization is converted from ON to OFF.

  The lamp display device 25 includes an electric lamp 26 that emits light by electricity, and the electric lamp 26 emits light when energization is turned on by the earthquake sensing device 20 and the intercom device 23. The specific structure of the electric lamp 26 is not particularly limited, and it is conceivable to use a light bulb, LED, organic EL, or the like. One or a plurality of such lamp display devices 25 are installed in an easy-to-see place in the home, and the electric lamp 26 emits light, so that an earthquake or a visitor visits a hearing-impaired person or an elderly person whose ear is far away. It functions to notify visually. When notifying the occurrence of an earthquake, the ON / OFF conversion of energization is repeated by the vibration of the pendulum 21 in the earthquake sensing device 20, so that the electric lamp 26 emits light while blinking. When notifying the visitor of the visitor, the lightning lamp 26 continues to be lit while the visitor presses the hand push button 24 in the intercom device 23, and the lightning is instantly released when the hand or finger is released from the hand push button 24. The lamp 26 is turned off.

  The power supply device 27 transmits electricity to each device, and includes an outlet 28 that can be connected to an AC power supply. In addition, a mode in which a rechargeable battery or a battery socket is built in the power supply device 27 is also possible, and this makes it possible to secure a power supply during a power failure of the AC power supply.

  The control device 29 is connected to the seismic sensing device 20, the intercom device 23, the lamp display device 25, and the power supply device 27 to control each device. The control device 29 controls the energization ON / OFF, the hearing impaired, and the elderly. It is responsible for the reliable notification of the occurrence of earthquakes and visits by visitors. In particular, it functions to control ON / OFF control of power distribution of the two systems by the earthquake sensing device 20 and the intercom device 23 and power distribution by the ON / OFF control. That is, when energization is repeatedly turned ON / OFF by the earthquake sensing device 20, the supply / stop of electricity to the lamp display device 25 is repeated in accordance with the ON / OFF of the energization, and the electric lamp 26 flashes and emits light. Further, when the energization is turned on by the intercom device 23, electricity is continuously supplied to the lamp display device 25 while the energization is on, and the electric lamp 26 is turned on.

  The alarm 10 for the hearing impaired person and the elderly person according to the present embodiment configured as described above is energized when the tip of the pendulum 21 touches the contact body 22 due to the shaking of the earthquake, and the hand button 24 is turned on. When pressed, the power is turned on, and the light lamp 26 emits light, and it is possible to reliably notify the occurrence of an earthquake and the visit of a visitor to a hearing impaired person or an elderly person whose ear is far away. To do.

In addition, about the hearing-impaired person and the alarm device 10 for elderly people concerning this invention, it is also effective to employ | adopt the following aspect other than the above-mentioned structure aspect.
That is, a configuration in which the lamp display device 25 (the electric lamp 26) is detachable and a rechargeable battery is built in can be considered. By adopting such a mode, it becomes possible to freely carry it as a rechargeable flash lamp at the time of a power failure or the like, and for example, lighting of an evacuation route in the dark night can be ensured.

  In addition, a configuration in which a sound generating device is connected and a chime (ringing sound) or siren (warning sound) is sounded in addition to light emission can be considered. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to provide means for notifying an earthquake or a visitor even to a healthy person who lives together (a person without hearing impairment).

  In addition, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which various devices that are considered necessary at the time of disaster, such as a time display device (clock), a manual rotary power generation device, and a radio with a character display function, are possible.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the alarm device 10 for the hearing impaired and the elderly according to the present invention. Description of the same parts as those in the first embodiment is omitted.
The alarm device 10 for a hearing impaired person and an elderly person according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which an oscillation device 30 including a vibrating body 31 that vibrates by electricity is connected to a control device 29.

  The oscillation device 30 is connected to the control device 29 and has a configuration including a vibrator 31 such as a vibrator that vibrates by electricity. The vibrating body 31 has a structure that vibrates when energization is ON. When the energization is turned ON by the earthquake sensing device 20 and the interphone device 23, the vibrating body 31 vibrates. The specific structure of the vibrating body 31 is not particularly limited, and a general vibrator or the like may be used. One or a plurality of such oscillating devices 30 are installed in the home, and the vibrating body 31 vibrates, so that the occurrence of an earthquake and the visit of a visitor can be experienced (sensation) with respect to a hearing-impaired person or an elderly person whose ear is far away. It works to inform by. When notifying the occurrence of an earthquake, since the ON / OFF conversion of energization is repeated by the vibration of the pendulum 21 in the earthquake sensing device 20, the vibrator 31 vibrates intermittently. When notifying the visitor of the visitor, the vibrator 31 continues to vibrate while the visitor presses the hand push button 24 in the intercom device 23, and vibrates at the moment when the hand or finger is released from the hand push button 24. The vibration of the body 31 is stopped.

  The connection between the oscillation device 30 and the control device 29 is not limited to wired or wireless. In the drawing, a mode in which the oscillation device 30 is connected in a wired manner to the control device 29 via the extension cord 32 is shown, but a mode in which the extension cord 32 is eliminated and wireless connection is also effective. At that time, the control device 29 is provided with a transmitter for notifying ON / OFF of energization, while the oscillation device 30 is required to be provided with a receiver capable of receiving the ON / OFF information. By adopting such a wireless connection mode, the extension cord 32 (wired) in the room is not required to be wired, and since it can be carried by being wireless, any location can be used as long as it is within a transmittable / receivable range. Wherever you are, you can know the occurrence of earthquakes and visits by visitors.

  The hearing aid 10 and the alarm device 10 for the elderly according to the present embodiment configured as described above can experience the occurrence of an earthquake or the visit of a visitor by vibration of the vibrating body 31 by connecting the oscillation device 30. Because it is possible to know, even if a hearing-impaired person or an elderly person whose ears are far away are at bedtime or in a place where the lamp display device 25 cannot be seen, the occurrence of an earthquake and the visit of a visitor are ensured. It becomes possible to get to know.

  Since the present invention can reliably notify the occurrence of earthquakes and visits of visitors to hearing-impaired persons and elderly persons who have become deaf, it is possible to minimize or reduce damage from earthquake disasters. As well as being able to respond quickly without waiting for the visitor for a long time. Therefore, the industrial applicability of the “notice for the hearing impaired and elderly” according to the present invention is considered to be extremely large.
