Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a nurse call device, and more particularly, to a nurse call device in which a ringing volume and a call volume are linked and changed according to an acoustic environment in a hospital room such as nighttime and daytime.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, an example of this type of nurse call device is known as shown in FIG.
[0003]
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a conventional nurse call device. In the figure, a conventional nurse call device includes a nurse call master device 6 installed at a nurse station and a nurse call slave device 8 installed at a bedside. It is connected to a nurse call handset 8 via a lantern 9 and a collective corridor lamp 7. Here, the nurse call master unit 6 has a function of calling in response to a call from a patient in each hospital room or by calling a patient in each hospital room. The nurse call slave unit 8 has a function of calling a nurse call master unit 6 by a patient in each hospital room or making a call in response to a call from the nurse call master unit 6.
[0004]
The nurse call parent device 6 includes a manual preset call volume controller 61 and a manual preset transmission volume controller 62.
[0005]
The nurse call cordless handset 8 includes a speaker 81, a manually received volume controller 82, a microphone 83, and a call circuit 84. The call circuit 84 includes the collective corridor lamp 7, the speaker 81, the received volume controller 82, and the microphone 83. It is connected to the.
[0006]
Next, the operation of the conventional nurse call device configured as described above will be described. First, in the daytime period when the ambient noise is high, the preset call volume adjuster 61 and the preset send volume adjuster 62 of the nurse call master device 6 are adjusted manually to optimize the call volume and call volume. Set as follows. Also, the patient manually adjusts the reception volume adjuster 82 of the nurse call cordless handset 8 so as to set the sound volume optimum for the patient himself and use it in a normal use state (see JP-A-9-261354). .
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional nurse call device, if the volume adjustment is set on the assumption of the daytime period when the ambient noise is large, the volume is too high in the nighttime period when the ambient noise is small and disturbs sleep of other patients. There is a fear. On the other hand, if the volume adjustment is set assuming a night time zone with low ambient noise, the volume may be too low during daytime hours when the ambient noise is high, which may hinder calls.
[0008]
The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a nurse call device that can always make a call at an optimum volume regardless of day and night.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve such an object, a nurse call device according to the present invention includes a nurse call parent device and a plurality of nurse call child devices connected to the nurse call parent device, from the nurse call parent device to the nurse call child device. A nurse call device that selects / calls / calls, and calls / calls from the nurse call slave unit to the nurse call master unit. The nurse call master unit works in a day shift, semi-night shift, night shift, etc. The system setting switch, the volume setting switch that adjusts the volume of the call / call volume from the nurse call master unit to the nurse call slave unit according to the work system set by the work system setting switch, the data for tuning, and the work system A volume control unit that controls volume by inputting data and volume adjustment data, and a memory that stores volume adjustment data together with channel selection data and work system data When the selection data of the nurse call cordless handset is input to the volume control section, the control of the volume control section refers to the work system data from the work system setting switch at the time of channel selection, and the tuning data and work from the memory And an electronic volume for adjusting the volume based on the volume adjustment data stored together with the system data.
[0010]
According to the nurse call device of the present invention, the ring volume and the call volume are set so as to change in conjunction with the work system such as day shift, semi-night shift, night shift, etc. You can always talk at the optimal volume.

The call / call volume from nurse call master unit 1 to nurse call slave units 3a, 3b,... By volume setting switches 41d and 41e, and input of tuning data, work system data, and volume adjustment data Volume control unit 42 for volume control, volume adjustment data, tuning data and work ... When the channel selection data of the memory 43 and nurse call slaves 3a, 3b,... Are input to the volume control unit 42, the work system setting switch at the time of channel selection is controlled by the volume control unit 42. And an electronic volume 44 for adjusting the sound volume from the memory 43 with reference to the data for tuning and the sound volume adjustment data stored together with the data for the work system.
[0017]
Next, the operation of the nurse call device according to the present invention will be described.
In the nurse call device according to the present invention, channel selection / calling / calling from the nurse call master unit 1 to the nurse call slave units 3a, 3b,... Further, calling / calling from the nurse call slave units 3a, 3b,... To the nurse call master unit 1 is performed by a call operation of the nurse call slave units 3a, 3b,.
[0018]
For example, by turning on the channel selection switch 13a of the nurse call master device 1, the nurse call slave device 3a is called and put into a call state.
[0019]
Next, press any of the work system setting buttons 12a, 12b, and 12c for the work system such as day shift, semi-night shift, and night shift, and switch any one of the work system setting switches 41a, 41b, and 41c linked thereto. Next, either the preset call volume controller 11c for increasing the volume or the preset transmission volume controller 11d for decreasing the volume is operated, and either the volume setting switch 41d or the volume setting switch 41e linked to this is operated. The switch is turned on to input volume adjustment data to the volume controller 42. Then, the electronic volume 44 is controlled by the volume adjustment data, and the call volume is adjusted. The volume adjustment data is stored in the memory 43 together with the channel selection data and the work system data. On the other hand, the channel selection data of the nurse call slave unit 3 is input to the volume control unit 42 as a channel selection signal, and the volume control unit 42 is controlled by the input of the channel selection signal. As a result, the data of the work system from the work system setting switch at the time of channel selection is referred to, and the volume adjustment data stored together with the channel selection data and the data of the work system is retrieved from the memory 43. The volume 44 is controlled and adjusted to the set call volume.
[0020]
In this way, the volume adjustment is set by selecting the work system setting switch 41a linked to the operation of the work system setting buttons 12a, 12b, and 12c by selecting, calling, and calling the nurse call slave unit with the nurse call master unit 1. , 41b, 41c are turned on, and then the volume setting switch 41d or the volume setting switch 41e linked to the operation of the preset calling volume adjuster 11c or the preset transmission volume adjuster 11d is turned on. Do.
[0021]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the volume control unit is connected to the nurse call parent unit has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the volume control unit may be incorporated in the nurse call parent unit. .
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, according to the nurse call device of the present invention, the ring volume and the call volume are set so as to change in conjunction with the work system such as day shift, semi-night shift, and night shift. , You can always make a call at an optimal volume regardless of the time of day or night.
