Description

The present invention relates to an alarm device that detects and alarms an abnormality such as a fire, and more particularly, to an alarm device having a function of automatically testing a sensor and a battery.

  Conventionally, residential alarm devices (hereinafter referred to as “residential alarms”) that detect and warn of abnormalities such as fires and gas leaks in homes have become widespread. There is also an increasing tendency to monitor the anomalies such as fires in each room by installing a vessel.

In the case of a conventional house alarm, if a fire is detected, a voice message “Woo-woo fire alarm has been activated” will be played continuously, and the red lamp will blink or blink at the same time. ing. Also, the home alarm is provided with alarm stop combined test switch, and to stop the alarm and operate the switch due cord pull during alarm output.

  If the alarm stop / combined test switch is operated in a normal monitoring state where no alarm is output, a notification indicating that the alarm is normal is made if no fault has occurred in the house alarm. For example, when the test switch is operated, the same voice message as when a fire is detected, “Please check that the Woo-woo alarm has been activated” is output only once at a low volume, indicating that it is operating normally. , It tells the user what sound will sound when a fire is detected.

  Furthermore, the conventional house alarm is equipped with an automatic test function that detects the presence or absence of a failure by checking the state of a sensor unit such as a smoke detector and the battery power supply at predetermined time intervals. When this is detected, a fault alarm is output.

  FIG. 16 is a time chart showing an automatic test of the sensor unit provided in the conventional residential alarm. As shown in FIG. 16A, the automatic test of the sensor unit reads, for example, a detection signal corresponding to the smoke density output from the smoke detection unit into the CPU at intervals of 1 second and holds it as detection data on the memory. The average value of the detected data for 10 minutes is calculated, and if the average value falls below a predetermined zero level, it is determined that the sensor has failed due to disconnection or the like, and the test result storage information on the memory in FIG. Is changed from sensor failure to sensor failure and at the same time a failure alarm is issued.

  In addition, although the process of determining the failure of the sensor unit is an average value calculation, the failure may be determined by the number of times that the value is below the zero point level.

  FIG. 17 is a time chart showing an automatic test of a battery power source provided in a conventional residential alarm. In the battery power automatic test, as shown in FIG. 17A, the power supply voltage of the battery power is read into the CPU at intervals of 4 hours and compared with a predetermined threshold level. When the low battery failure continues, for example, 5 times, the low battery failure is confirmed, and the test result storage information on the memory in FIG. 17B is changed from normal to low battery failure. A failure warning is issued.

  In recent years, it has also been proposed that a plurality of wireless residential alarms are installed to perform interlocking alarms. When a fire alarm is detected by a certain home alarm, a warning sound that is different from that of the home alarm device that detects the fire and the destination home alarm device is output. ing.

  For example, the home alarm device that detected the fire will continuously hear the voice message “Please check that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated”, while the home alarm device linked to it will say “ The voice message “Check that the fire alarm has been activated” is continuously played. In addition, the red lamp of the interlocking home police is blinking and the red lamp of the interlocking residential police is flashing so that the link source or interlocked destination can be distinguished from the display of the red lamp.

Also, the home alarm is provided with alarm stop combined test switch, and operates the alarm stop combined test switch of the interlocking source home alarm that detected the fire, the alarm of all home alarm stop, Also, when the alarm stop combined test switch of the interlocked house alarm is operated, only the alarm of that house alarm is stopped.

Even in the wireless dwelling alarm that performs such an interlocking alarm, the automatic test function shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 is provided, and the fault alarm that indicates the interlocking source by itself when a fault is detected is provided. At the same time, a fault alarm indicating the link destination is issued from the other residential alarms, and the fault alarm is also linked.

As with fire alarms, if you operate the alarm stop combined test switch of the home alarm that detected the fault, all the fault alarms will stop, When the alarm stop combined test switch of the linked home alarm is operated, only the fault alarm of the home alarm is stopped.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a residential alarm according to the present invention. FIG. 3 shows in detail the circuit configuration of the five home guards 10-1 to 10-5 shown in FIG.

  The home guard 10-1 includes a CPU 28, and a radio circuit unit 30, a recording circuit unit 32, a sensor unit 34, a notification unit 36, an operation unit 38, and a battery power source 40 including an antenna 31 are provided for the CPU 28. .

  The wireless circuit unit 30 is provided with a transmission circuit 42 and a reception circuit 44 so that event signals can be transmitted and received wirelessly between the other mortgages 10-2 to 10-5. As the radio circuit unit 30, in Japan, for example, STD-30 (standard standard of radio equipment of a low power security system radio station) or STD known as a standard of a specific low power radio station of 400 MHz band or STD. -It has a configuration compliant with T67 (standard for specific low-power radio station telemeter, telecontrol and data transmission radio equipment).

  Of course, the radio circuit unit 30 has contents conforming to the standard of the assigned radio station in the area in places other than Japan.

  The recording circuit unit 32 is provided with a memory 46. The memory 46 stores a transmission source code 50 that is an ID (identifier) for identifying a house alarm, and a group code 52 for configuring a group that performs a linked alarm with a plurality of house alarms as shown in FIG. Yes. As the transmission source code 50, the number of home guards provided in the country is predicted, and for example, a 26-bit code code is used so as not to be duplicated as the same code.

  The group code 52 is a code that is set in common to a plurality of residential alarms constituting the group, and the group code included in the event signal from the other residential alarm received by the wireless circuit unit 30 is registered in the memory 46. This event signal is received as a valid signal and processed when the group code 52 matches.

In addition, a test result storage area 55 is provided in the memory 46 so as to store test results associated with the test processing of the sensor unit 34 and the battery power supply 40.

  In the present embodiment, the sensor unit 34 is provided with the smoke detector unit 16. The smoke detector 16 outputs a smoke density detection signal corresponding to the smoke density. The smoke density detection signal from the smoke detector 16 is taken into the CPU 28 (AD conversion) and used for fire detection and test processing.

  In addition to the smoke detector 16, the sensor unit 34 may be provided with a thermistor that detects a temperature due to a fire. In the case of a gas leak monitoring residence guard, a gas leak sensor is provided in the sensor unit 34.

  The notification unit 36 is provided with a speaker 56 and an LED 22. The speaker 56 outputs a voice message or an alarm sound from a voice synthesis circuit unit (not shown) to notify a fire or a failure. The LED 22 displays a fire or a failure by blinking, blinking, or lighting. In addition, the alarm by the notification unit 36 outputs an alarm indicating an interlocking source when a fire or a fault is detected by itself, and an alarm indicating an interlocking destination when a fire or fault is notified from another resident alarm. Output.

  The operation unit 38 is provided with an alarm stop / test switch 20. The alarm stop combined test switch 20 is activated when the alarm sound is output from the notification unit 36 through the speaker 56. When the alarm stop combined test switch 20 is operated at this time, when the alarm stop combined test switch 20 is operated, The alarm sound that is flowing can be stopped.

  In addition, the alarm stop combined test switch 20 is enabled in the normal monitoring state where the alarm sound is not output from the notification unit 36 through the speaker 56. When the alarm stop combined test switch 20 is operated at this time, the notification unit 36 A voice message indicating the test result is output.

  The battery power supply 40 uses, for example, an alkaline dry battery having a predetermined number of cells, and has a battery capacity of about 10 years due to a reduction in power consumption of the entire circuit unit including the wireless circuit unit 30 in the residential alarm 10-1. The lifetime is guaranteed.

  The CPU 28 is provided with an abnormality monitoring unit 60, a sensor test processing unit 62, and a battery test processing unit 64 as functions realized by executing the program. Further, the sensor test processing unit 62 and the battery test processing unit 64 have automatic tests. Functions of the units 66-1, 66-2 and the real-time test units 68-1, 68-2 are provided.

  When the smoke concentration detection signal output from the smoke detector 16 provided in the sensor unit 34 read by AD conversion becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined fire level, the abnormality monitoring unit 60 determines the fire alarm 36. The alarm signal indicating the link source, for example “Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated, please confirm” is repeatedly output from the speaker 56 and an event signal indicating a fire alarm is transmitted to the antenna 31 by the transmission circuit 42 of the radio circuit unit 30. To the other dwelling devices 10-2 to 10-5.

  Moreover, when the abnormality monitoring unit 60 receives an event signal indicating a fire alarm from any of the other home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-5 by the reception circuit 44 of the wireless circuit unit 30, the abnormality monitoring unit 60 From 56, an audible sound indicating the link destination, for example, “Woo-woo, check if another fire alarm has been activated” is output continuously.

  Here, when the abnormality monitoring unit 60 detects a fire alarm and outputs an alarm sound indicating the interlock source, the LED 22 of the notification unit 36 is blinked, for example. On the other hand, when the abnormality monitoring unit 60 outputs an alarm sound indicating the interlocking destination, the LED 22 of the notification unit 36 is blinked. Thereby, the display of the LED 22 in the alarm indicating the interlocking source and the alarm indicating the interlocking destination can be distinguished. Of course, the same LED 22 may be blinking or blinking for both the alarm indicating the interlocking source and the alarm indicating the interlocking destination.

Further abnormality monitoring unit 60, when the smoke concentration detection signal output from the smoke detector section 16 provided in the sensor portion 34 falls below the fire level by smoke disappears from the smoke detection unit 16, the fire indicating a linkage source While stopping the alarm, an event signal indicating a fire recovery is transmitted from the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless circuit unit 30 to the linked residential police 10-2 to 10-5, while the other residential police 10-2 to an event signal indicating a fire reset from one of 10-5 when received by the receiving circuit 44 of the wireless circuit section 30, stops the fire alarm indicating the interlocking destination.

  The automatic test unit 66-1 of the sensor test processing unit 62 determines whether or not there is a failure in the sensor unit 34 at predetermined time intervals, stores the test result in the test result storage area 55 of the memory 46, and notifies the test result. Let

For example, the automatic test unit 66-1 reads the smoke concentration detection signal output from the smoke detector 16 of the sensor unit 34 at a predetermined measurement time interval T 1, for example, T 1 = 1 second interval, by A / D conversion, and held in the buffer area, a predetermined time interval T2, for example T2 = every 10 minutes, the average value of the detection data of 10 minutes worth held in the buffer area of the memory 46, the average value of a predetermined When it falls below the zero point level, it is determined that the sensor unit 16 is faulty, and the test result is stored in the test result storage area 55 of the memory 46. When the sensor fault is determined, the sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the LED 22 Alarm of sensor failure is displayed.

  The reason why the 10-minute average value of the smoke concentration detection signal falls below the zero point level is that a failure such as disconnection of the light receiving element provided in the smoke detector 16 or stop of the light receiving amplifier occurs. When a temperature detection element such as a thermistor is provided in the sensor unit 16, the sensor failure is determined as a test result because the 10-minute average value of the detection signal falls below the disconnection level due to the disconnection.

The automatic test unit 66-1 determines a sensor failure when the number of times that the detection signal from the sensor unit 34 deviates from a predetermined zero point level reaches a predetermined number of times, and stores the test result storage area 55i in the memory 46. In addition, the sensor failure may be notified.

The real-time test unit 68-1 of the sensor test processing unit 62 determines whether or not there is a failure in the sensor unit 34 and notifies it as a test result when detecting a test operation by the alarm stop / test switch 20 of the operation unit 30. Perform the test.

For example, the real-time test unit 68-1 reads the smoke density detection signal output from the smoke detection unit 16 of the sensor unit 34 by A / D conversion, compares it with a predetermined zero point level, and when it falls below the zero point level, the sensor unit It is determined that there are 16 failures, and the sensor failure is warned by the sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the display of the LED 22.

  In addition, when there is no sensor failure, the same voice message as when detecting a fire “Please confirm that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated” is output only once at a low volume, indicating that it operates normally. At the same time, the user may be instructed what sound is produced when a fire is detected.

  When such a real-time test is performed, for example, when the house alarm is taken out of the box or dropped during use and it is desired to confirm that the house alarm works normally, the real-time test can be performed by pressing the alarm stop combined test switch 20. The state of the sensor unit is obtained as the test result of the real-time test without being affected by the time lag of 10 minutes by the automatic test, and it can be immediately confirmed whether or not it works normally.

  The automatic test unit 66-2 of the battery test processing unit 64 determines whether or not there is a low battery failure of the battery power supply 40 at predetermined time intervals, and stores the determination result in the test result storage area 55 of the memory 46.

For example, the automatic test unit 66-2 reads the power supply voltage of the battery power supply 40 by A / D conversion at a predetermined measurement time interval T3, for example, T3 = 4 time intervals, and compares it with a predetermined threshold voltage. The low battery failure is sometimes determined, and when the low battery failure determination result continues continuously for a predetermined number of times, the low battery failure is determined and stored as a test result in the test result storage area 55 of the memory 46, and a notification unit A low battery failure is warned by sound from 36 speakers 56 and LED 22 display.

Real-time testing section 68-2 of the battery test processing unit 64, upon detecting a test operation by the alarm stop combined test switch 20 of the operation unit 30, notifying the decision to test results whether the low battery failure of the battery power supply 40 Perform a real-time test.

For example, the real-time test unit 68-2 reads the power supply voltage of the battery power supply 40 by A / D conversion, compares it with a predetermined threshold voltage, determines that the battery is low battery failure when the voltage falls below the threshold voltage, and the speaker of the notification unit 36 Low battery failure is warned by sound from 56 and display of LED22.

  Even if there is no low battery failure in the real-time test, the same voice message as when the fire was detected “Please check that the Woo-woo fire alarm has been activated” is output only once at a low volume, At the same time as indicating the operation, the user may be instructed what sound is generated when a fire is detected.

  In such a real-time test, for example, when the house alarm is taken out of the box or dropped during use, and it is desired to check that the house alarm works normally, when the alarm stop combined use test switch 20 is pressed, the battery power 40 real-time tests are performed, and the battery power state is obtained as a test result of the real-time test without being affected by a long time lag such as 20 hours of the automatic test, so that it can be immediately confirmed whether or not it works normally.

  In the real-time test of the battery power source 40, the power supply voltage is read by A / D conversion at intervals of 1 second, for example, and held on the buffer, and an average value for a certain time, for example, 5 seconds, without impairing real-time properties. It is desirable to prevent erroneous determination due to temporary fluctuations in the power supply voltage by obtaining and comparing the threshold voltage.

  In addition, the real-time test by the real-time test units 68-1 and 68-2 indicates the test operation from the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-5 other than when the operation of the alarm stop / use test switch 20 is detected. It may be performed when an event signal is received.

For this purpose, when an operation of the alarm stop / combined test switch 20 is detected, an event signal indicating the test operation is transmitted to other home alarm devices, and a linked test is also performed for the real-time test. To do.

  Further, an alarm sound or an alarm message output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 in the automatic test or real-time test of the sensor test processing unit 62 and the battery test processing unit 64 is stopped by operating the alarm stop / test switch 20 during the alarm. be able to.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the format of the event signal used in this embodiment. In FIG. 4, the event signal 48 includes a transmission source code 50, a group code 52, and an event code 54. The transmission source code 50 is a 26-bit code, for example. The group code 52 is, for example, an 8-bit code, and the same group code is set for, for example, the five residential alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 in FIG.

  In addition, as the group code 52, in addition to setting the same group code to the same group of house alarms, a reference code common to the house alarms constituting a predetermined group, and a transmission source unique to each house alarm A different group code may be used for each residential alarm obtained from the calculation with the code.

  The event code 54 is a code representing the event contents such as fire and gas leak. In this embodiment, a 2-bit code is used. For example, “001” indicates a fire, “010” indicates a gas leak, “ “011” indicates recovery, “100” indicates alarm stop, “101” indicates failure, “110” indicates failure recovery, and “111” indicates a test. Note that the number of bits of the event code 54 can be increased to 4 bits and 5 bits when the type of event is increased, thereby representing a plurality of types of event contents.

  FIG. 5 is a time chart showing an automatic test and a real-time test of the sensor unit according to the embodiment of FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 5A, the automatic test is performed by the automatic test unit 66-1 provided in the sensor test processing unit 62 of the CPU 28 at a predetermined measurement interval T1, for example, T1 = 1 second interval. The smoke density detection signal output from the smoke detector 16 provided is AD-converted and read, and the process of holding it on the buffer of the memory 46 is repeated.

  When a predetermined time interval T2, for example, T2 = 10 minutes elapses from the start of the automatic test, the automatic test unit 66-1 targets the detection data of the smoke concentration detection signal for 10 minutes held on the buffer until then. When the average value falls below a predetermined zero level, the test result storage area 55 of the memory 46 stores the test failure from the normal state until then, as shown in the test result of FIG. And the sensor failure is warned by the sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the display of the LED 22.

  FIG. 5C shows a test operation by operating the alarm stop / test switch 20 provided in the operation unit 38. First, assuming that a test operation indicated by an arrow is detected in the middle of the time interval T2 when the test result of the automatic test in which the test result is normal is not obtained, the real time provided in the sensor test processing unit 62 of FIG. The test processing unit 68-1 performs a real time test.

  In this real-time test, the smoke density detection signal output from the smoke detector 16 of the sensor unit 34 is AD-converted and read, and compared with a predetermined zero point level. Then, the sensor failure is warned by the sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit and the display by the LED 22. When a normal test result is obtained in the real-time test, a sensor failure alarm is not performed.

  Thus, when a test operation is performed in the middle of the predetermined time T2 when the test result by the automatic test is output, a real-time test is executed, and the state of the sensor unit 34 at that time can be detected to determine the presence or absence of a failure. There is no time lag like the test result in the automatic test.

  It is to be noted that a sensor failure is determined and a sensor failure alarm is issued. After the alarm stop operation is performed by knowing the sensor failure, the test operation is detected when the alarm stop combined test switch 20 is operated again during the alarm stop. Also at this time, a real time test is executed, and when a sensor failure is determined as a test result of the real time test, an alarm indicating the sensor failure is output again.

  FIG. 6 is a time chart showing an automatic test and a real-time test of the battery power source according to the embodiment of FIG. 6A shows an automatic test. The automatic test processing unit 66-2 provided in the battery test processing unit 64 of FIG. 3 sets the power supply voltage of the battery power supply 40 every predetermined time interval T3, for example, T3 = 4 hours. Read by AD conversion, compare with a predetermined threshold voltage, and determine if a low battery failure occurs when the threshold voltage is below the threshold voltage.

  Here, in the case of a low battery state in which the power supply voltage is equal to or lower than a predetermined voltage during the automatic test, the low battery failure is determined every time in the automatic test every predetermined time interval T3, and the determination of the low battery failure continues. When N times, for example, N = 5 times, the low battery failure is confirmed and alarmed, and the test result in the test result storage area 55 of the memory 46 shown in FIG. Rewrite to

  On the other hand, assuming that the alarm stop combined test switch 20 provided in the operation unit 38 is operated as shown in FIG. 6C until the low battery failure is obtained as a test result by the automatic test, this test is performed. When the operation is detected, the real-time test unit 68-2 provided in the battery test processing unit 64 of FIG. 3 executes the real-time test.

  In the real-time test, when the test operation is detected, the power supply voltage of the battery power supply 40 is read by AD conversion, compared with a predetermined threshold voltage, and if it is below the threshold voltage, it is determined that there is a low battery failure, and the sound of the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 And the low battery failure is warned by the display of LED22.

  For this reason, even if the battery power supply 40 fails, if the test operation is performed before reaching 20 hours, which is a time lag due to the automatic test, the state of the battery voltage at that time is determined by the real-time test when the test operation is performed. If the voltage is below the threshold voltage, a low battery failure can be alarmed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing basic processing according to the embodiment of FIG. In FIG. 7, the process of the resident alarm device first executes initialization and self-diagnosis in step S1 when the power is turned on after the power supply by the built-in battery is validated.

  In this process, as shown in FIG. 2, a process of grouping five dwelling devices 10-1 to 10-5 installed in a house 24 and a garage 26, for example, dwelling unit 10- in FIG. A process of registering the same group code 52 in the memory 46 of the recording circuit section 32 shown as a representative of the 1-10-5 residence guard 10-1 is performed. Subsequently, a fire monitoring process is executed in step S2, a sensor test process in step S3 is subsequently executed, a battery test process in step S3 is further executed, and this is repeated.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the fire monitoring process according to the embodiment of FIG. 3, and is a process by executing a program of the CPU 28 of FIG.

  In FIG. 8, the fire alarm is monitored in step S11. When a fire detection signal is output from the smoke detector 16 provided in the sensor unit 34, the fire alarm is determined and the process proceeds to step S12. An event signal indicating is transmitted wirelessly to other home alarm devices. In step S13, an alarm indicating the interlocking source is output.

Subsequently, in step S14, it is determined whether or not there is a fire recovery in which the fire detection signal is not output from the smoke detector 16 provided in the sensor unit 34. If the fire alarm continues, the alarm is stopped in step S95. Whether or not there is an alarm stop operation by the test switch 20 is determined, and if there is no alarm stop operation, the process of determining whether or not an alarm stop event signal is received from another residential alarm is repeated in step S16. In addition, while the fire alarm is continuing, the transmission of the event signal indicating the fire alarm is repeated every predetermined time.

If a fire detection signal is not output from the smoke detector 16 provided in the sensor unit 34 during the processing cycle of steps S14 to S16, fire recovery is determined in step S14, and an event signal for fire recovery is sent to another housing in step S17. after sending the警器stops interlocking source alarm proceeds to step S 1 9, in this case returns to normal monitoring state.

  If it is determined in step S16 that an alarm stop event signal has been received from another residential alarm device, the process proceeds to step S19 to stop the interlocking source alarm. Further, when it is determined in step S15 that its own alarm stop operation has been performed, the process proceeds to step S18 to transmit an alarm stop event signal to another dwelling alarm device, and then the interlocking source alarm is stopped in step S19.

  If it is determined in step S15 that its own alarm stop operation has been performed, or if an alarm stop event signal has been received from another resident alarm in step S16, the interlock source alarm stop in step S19 is skipped, and the alarm is stopped. Only the alarm indicating the link source for the operation may be left.

  On the other hand, if it is not a fire alarm in step S11, it is determined in step S20 whether or not an event signal indicating a fire alarm has been received from another home alarm device. If it is determined that an event signal indicating a fire alarm is received from another house alarm device, the process proceeds to step S21, and an alarm indicating the interlock destination is output.

  Subsequently, in step S22, it is determined whether or not an event signal indicating a fire recovery from another house police is received. When an event signal indicating a fire recovery is received, the process proceeds to step S26 to stop the interlocking destination alarm. If so, return to normal monitoring.

  Subsequently, in step S23, it is checked whether or not an event signal indicating an alarm stop from another house alarm is received. If it is determined that an event signal indicating an alarm stop is received, an alarm indicating the interlock destination is stopped in step S26. To do.

  Subsequently, in step S24, the presence or absence of an alarm stop operation by the alarm stop combined test switch is determined. When the alarm stop operation is determined, an event signal for alarm stop is transmitted to another house alarm in step S25, and then in step S26. Stop the alarm indicating the link destination.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing details of the sensor test process in step S3 of FIG. In FIG. 9, the sensor test process determines whether or not a predetermined measurement interval T1, for example, T1 = 1 second is reached in step S31. When the measurement interval T1 is reached, the process proceeds to step S32, and the smoke from the sensor unit 34 is detected. The sensor data obtained by AD converting the density detection signal is read and held on the buffer of the memory 46.

  Subsequently, in step S33, it is determined whether or not a predetermined test interval T2, for example, T2 = 10 minutes has been reached. If it is determined that the test interval T2 has been reached, the process proceeds to step S34, and during the test interval T2 The average value of the stored sensor data is calculated, and the average value is compared with a predetermined zero level in step S35. If the average value is below the zero level, the zero point abnormality is determined. In step S36, the sensor failure is tested as an automatic test result. After storing the result in the result storage area 55, in step S37, a sensor failure is warned by the sound of the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the display of the LED 22.

The processing of steps S31 to S37 is the processing of the automatic test unit 66-1 provided in the sensor test processing unit 62 of FIG.

  On the other hand, if the measurement interval T1 has not been reached in step S31, or if the test interval T2 has not been reached in step S33, or if zero point abnormality has not been determined from the average value of the sensor data in step S35. In step S38, it is determined whether the test switch is operated.

If it is determined in step S38 that the test switch, that is, the operation of the alarm stop / test switch 20 provided in the operation unit 38 of FIG. 3 is determined, the process proceeds to step S39, and a real-time test of the sensor unit 34 is performed. In the real-time test, the detection data obtained by AD conversion of the smoke density detection signal output from the sensor unit 34 is compared with a predetermined zero point level. If the detected data is below the zero point level, it is determined that the sensor failure is caused by the zero point abnormality. The sound of the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 is alerted to the sensor failure by displaying the LED 22.

  For this reason, the process of step S38-S40 and step S37 turns into the process by the real-time test part 68-1 provided in the sensor test process part 62 of FIG.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing details of the battery test process in step S4 of FIG. In FIG. 10, the battery test process determines whether or not a predetermined test interval T3, for example, T3 = 4 hours has been reached in step S41. When the test interval T3 is reached, the process proceeds to step S42 and the battery power supply 40 The power supply voltage of the battery so-called battery voltage is read by AD conversion. In step S43, it is determined whether or not it is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold voltage. If it is equal to or lower than the threshold voltage, the process proceeds to step S44. Hold on.

  Subsequently, in step S45, it is determined whether or not the determination of the low battery failure has continued N times, which is a predetermined number of times. When N consecutive determinations are determined, the process proceeds to step S46, and the test of the memory 46 which is the automatic test result is performed. After storing the low battery failure in the result storage area 55, in step S47, the low battery failure is alerted by the sound of the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the display of the LED 22.

  For this reason, the processing of steps S41 to S47 is processing by the automatic test unit 66-2 provided in the battery test processing unit 64 of FIG.

  On the other hand, when the test interval T3 has not been reached at step S41, when the battery voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold voltage at step S43, or when the number of times of low battery failure determination has not reached N times at step S43. Advances to step S48 to determine whether or not the test switch is operated.

  When the operation of the test switch is determined, the process proceeds to step S49, and a battery real-time test is executed. In the battery real-time test, the battery voltage of the battery power source 40 is read as a low battery voltage by AD conversion and compared with a predetermined threshold voltage. If the battery voltage is equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold voltage, the battery voltage is determined to be low, and the process proceeds to step S47. A low battery failure is warned by the sound of the 36 speakers 56 and the display of the LED 22. For this reason, the processing of steps S48 to S50 and S47 is the processing of the real-time test unit 68-2 provided in the battery test processing unit 64 of FIG.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a test result determination list 70 stored in the test result storage area 55 of the memory 46 of FIG. In another embodiment of the present invention, during the real-time test, the test result is notified based on the combination of the automatic test result and the real-time test result stored in the test result determination list 70 shown in FIG. It is characterized by doing so.

  The notification of the test result based on the test result list 70 has the following four patterns.

(1) When both the automatic test and the real-time test are normal, the normality is notified.

(2) When the result of the automatic test is faulty and the result of the real-time test is normal, the normality is notified.

(3) When the result of the automatic test is normal and the result of the real-time test is a failure, the failure is notified.

(4) When both the results of the automatic test and real-time test indicate a failure, the failure is notified.

  Furthermore, when the automatic test result in (2) is faulty and the real-time test result is normal, the normality is notified. In this case, since two different test results are different, the reliability is further increased. In order to increase the level, a retest guidance indicating that the test operation is to be performed is output as a voice message from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36, and a real-time test is performed at least twice. I am trying to inform you.

On the other hand, Steps S58 to S62 are real-time tests of the sensor unit 34. When the operation of the test switch is determined in Step S58, the sensor real-time test is performed in Step S59. If the zero point abnormality is determined in Step S60, the test is performed in Step S61. The sensor failure is stored in the real-time test result in the result storage area 55.

  In step S62, the notification content is determined from the combination of the automatic test result and the real-time test result shown in the test result list of FIG. 11, and the necessary notification output is performed by the sound of the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the LED 22.

  On the other hand, steps S78 to S82 are battery real-time tests. When the operation of the test switch is determined in step S78, a battery real-time test is executed in step S79. In step S81, the low battery failure as the test result is stored in the test result storage area 55. Then, in step S82, based on the results of the automatic test and the real-time test at that time, the notification contents are displayed from the test result determination table of FIG. And the necessary notification is performed by the sound of the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the display of the LED 22.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing another embodiment by the battery test processing unit 64 of FIG. 3. In this embodiment, a predetermined result is obtained after a test result of an automatic test performed at every test interval T3 is obtained. The operation of the test switch until the time elapses is characterized in that the test result of the automatic test is notified without performing the real-time test.

  In FIG. 14, among the battery test processes, steps S91 to S97 are automatic tests, which are the same processes as those shown in steps S41 to S47 of FIG. On the other hand, steps S98 to S101 and step S97 are battery real-time tests.

  In the real-time test, when the operation of the test switch is determined in step S98, it is determined in step S99 whether it is within a predetermined time from the previous automatic test. For example, if the test interval T3 is 4 hours, it is determined whether it is within 1 hour from the result of the automatic test.

  If it is within one hour, the low battery real-time test in step S100 is skipped, and in step S102, notification according to the test result of the automatic test stored in the test result storage area 55 at that time is performed.

  On the other hand, if the predetermined time, for example, 1 hour has been exceeded in step S99, the process proceeds to step S100, and a real-time battery test is executed. If the battery voltage is equal to or lower than the predetermined threshold voltage in step S101, the process proceeds to step S97. Alarm low battery failure based on real-time test results.
