Description

The present invention relates to an interlocking emergency lighting system and a lighting device that turn on lighting by a signal from an alarm or a remote controller.

  Conventionally, alarm devices that detect and warn of abnormalities (abnormalities) such as fires and gas leaks in homes have become widespread. Of these, residential disaster alarms are referred to as residential alarms.

  In such a house alarm, a sensor unit and an alarm unit are integrated, and when a fire is detected by the sensor unit, a fire alarm is issued by an audio message from the alarm unit. Since it can perform fire monitoring and alarms without being required, it is easy to install and inexpensive, and it has become widespread with the mandatory installation in ordinary houses.

  In addition, by communicating between multiple home alarms, when a fire alarm is issued by any home alarm, another home alarm system is also proposed in which other home alarms also issue an alarm. Has been.

  In such a home alarm system, when a fire is detected by the home alarm, the home alarm device that detected the fire is, for example, “Please check that the Woo Woo Fire Alarm has been activated”. A voice message is output.

  On the other hand, a voice message stating, for example, that a fire alarm device for each Wu Woo has been activated is output from another home alarm device to be linked. According to such an alarm system using an interlocked house alarm, for example, it is possible to quickly and reliably know the occurrence of a fire by using an interlock alarm even in a place where it is difficult to hear the alarm sound of an alarm installed at the place where the fire occurred. Can do.

In addition, when the fire alarm detects a fire, a technique for driving another device, for example, a lighting device, by wired output of a transfer signal such as a contact open / close signal is known. A lighting function has been devised to illuminate in conjunction with a fire alarm.

  However, when a fire is detected and a fire alarm is output in such a conventional interlocking alarm system, it is necessary to go to the place where the fire occurred to check it, to extinguish the fire or to evacuate. If a fire breaks out at night when you go to bed, you are searching for a flashlight or trying to turn on the room light, but you are panicking for an emergency, and the room is too dark to have a flashlight storage or switch The location may not be known, and it may take time for the initial fire extinguishing and evacuation.

  In addition, when a user has a handicap in his / her hearing, it may be difficult to hear an alarm sound such as a voice message output from the house alarm, but the display accompanying the alarm of the house alarm (alarm display) However, since the brightness is not sufficient, there is also a problem that it is difficult to understand the occurrence and location of the abnormality.

  On the other hand, the alarm system using the interlocking type home alarm is highly safe because it can know the fire occurrence at the source of the interlocking in the vicinity of the place where the interlocking destination is installed. Alarms are more expensive than single-action (stand-alone) type residential alarms, and it is difficult to install a large number of alarms.

  Also, for example, when installing these for lighting in the dark in the event of a fire or for evacuation guidance, there may be cases where a sensor unit is not required. It is expensive to connect or install an interlocked illuminated home alarm with a sensor part that is not necessary. In addition, if you want to install it outside the entrance or at a dressing room, for example, moisture or dust As a result, there were problems such as worrying about sensor failure, misinformation, and non-fire information.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide an emergency lighting system and a lighting device that are automatically operated in conjunction with an alarm device that detects and alerts for an abnormality such as a fire, and is capable of emergency lighting with sufficient brightness. To do.

Further, the present invention provides a interlocking illumination device as a relatively inexpensive terminal capable of knowing the occurrence of a fire of the interlocking source at an appropriate location away from the interlocking source of the home guard, and the interlocking lighting system.

The block diagram which showed other embodiment of the wireless illuminating device by this invention.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an example of equipment installation of an emergency lighting system according to the present invention for a house. In the example of FIG. 1, in the house 24, for example, a wireless house alarm (house fire alarm) 100 for detecting and alarming a fire is installed in each of the living room, kitchen, children's room, bedroom, and staircase. Has been. Bedroom may remote control 1 1 instructing operate the lighting control for the lighting apparatus 10, but remote control 1 1 can be used in appropriate locations in carry can be a plurality.

  In addition, for example, a wireless illumination device 10 that is lit in an emergency and illuminates the installation location is installed in the hallway. In addition to the residence guard 100, the lighting device 10 is also installed in the bedroom and the staircase.

  First, the basic intention of the installation example of FIG. 1 will be described. 1 are interlocked with each other, and the lighting device 10 is interlocked with each other, and is also interlocked in response to an event signal from each of the residential alarms 100.

  According to the installation shown in the example of FIG. 1, while monitoring the fire in the living room, kitchen, children's room, bedroom, and staircase, the lighting device 10 is provided in the bedroom, so that the ward watch 10 in other places operates. In the case of fire detection, the house politics in the bedroom issues an interlocking alarm, and the lighting device also performs interlocking illumination, enabling a quick response. Moreover, the effect of notifying the occurrence of a fire is improved by the interlocking illumination of the lighting device.

And since lighting is automatically performed also in a staircase and a corridor, it can act safely, for example, at night. Moreover, even though the house alarm 100 is not installed in the corridor, when a fire occurs, the lighting device 10 notifies the fire by a voice message in conjunction with the fire alarm of the house alarm 100. If a fire breaks out, you can be sure of the fire even in the hallway. Moreover, by operating the remote control 1 1, likewise bedroom, staircases, lighting the lighting device corridors simultaneously, it is possible to turn off, for example, improving usability as nighttime illumination.

  Next, details will be described sequentially. The lighting device 10 has a function of transmitting and receiving event signals to and from each other wirelessly. The lighting device 10 transmits an event signal (hereinafter referred to as a lighting event signal) indicating lighting that is transmitted by an operation of the remote controller 11 or transmitted from another lighting device. The event signal (hereinafter referred to as a fire event signal) indicating a fire from the alarm device 100 is received to drive the lighting, and the received lighting event signal and the fire event signal are transmitted to the other housing alarm device 100 and other lighting as necessary. Relay transmission to the device 10.

  In addition, when the lighting device 10 receives a fire event signal from the house alarm device 100, the lighting device 10 drives the lighting and performs an alarm by sound output.

  As an alarm operation of the lighting device 10, for example, an alarm sound by a voice message such as “Please confirm that Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated” is output. Here, the illumination of the illumination device 10 may be an operation different from an operation other than during a fire, for example, as a display accompanying an alarm (referred to as an alarm display). That is, the lighting operation by receiving the lighting event signal can be turned on, and the lighting operation by receiving the fire event signal can be blinking or vice versa.

  Here, the lighting operation driven by receiving the lighting event signal may be any one of lighting, blinking, and blinking. Hereinafter, these are collectively referred to as lighting unless otherwise distinguished.

  The illumination lighted by the lighting device 10 receives an event signal (hereinafter referred to as a recovery event signal) indicating an alarm stop or fire recovery from the home alarm device 100, and an event signal (hereinafter referred to as a light extinction from the remote controller 11 or another lighting device 10). , Turn-off event signal), turn off by operating its own stop switch, and simultaneously stop the alarm.

Here, a description will be given of an interlocking lighting device that can be added as it is to a conventional interlocking home alarm system. That is, the lighting device 10 receives each event signal from the remote controller 11, another lighting device 10, and the home guard 100, performs its own lighting control and sound output according to the received event signal, and receives each event signal. Is relayed to the outside as necessary. On the other hand, the event signal (on, off) an illumination control from the remote control 1 1 or other lighting device 10 are not processed in the home alarm side.

  Since the lighting device can stop the fire alarm and the fire alarm in conjunction with the home alarm 100 only by receiving and processing the signal from the remote controller 11 or the home alarm 100, it does not necessarily have a transmission function. However, each event signal can be relayed and transmitted as necessary by providing a transmission function. Here, an example in which a transmission function is provided in addition to a reception function will be described.

  In addition, although a resident alarm can output an interlocking alarm about the failure of the lighting device and its recovery, in this embodiment, the interlocking alarm is not performed on the residential alarm for the failure of the lighting device. In other words, only the fire alarm and the fault alarm in the house alarm device and their stop and recovery are linked with the lighting device.

  The home alarm device 100 has a function of transmitting and receiving event signals to and from each other wirelessly, and performs fire monitoring in various parts of the house. If a fire has occurred in the kitchen of the house 24, the house alarm 100 at the fire occurrence site detects the fire and starts an alarm. Detecting this fire and initiating an alarm is referred to as “reporting” at the home alarm. When the home alarm device 100 issues a report, the home alarm device functions as a link source, and wirelessly transmits an event signal indicating the occurrence of a fire to the other home alarm device 100 as a link destination. When the other home alarm device 100 as the interlocking destination receives an event signal indicating the occurrence of a fire from the interlocking source home guard 100, the alarm operation as the interlocking destination is performed by an alarm sound and an alarm display.

  Self-events (referred to as alarm device events) detected by the home alarm 100 include not only the above-mentioned fire occurrence but also fire recovery, alarm stop operation, etc., and reception of various event signals from other home alarm devices included. These will be described later.

  As an alarm operation of the home alarm 100 that is the linkage source, for example, an alarm sound by a voice message such as “Please confirm that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated” is output. On the other hand, the interlocking home alarm device 100 outputs an alarm sound by a voice message such as “Please confirm that another fire alarm device has been activated” as an alarm operation.

  In addition, as a display (referred to as alarm display) associated with an alarm of the home alarm device 100 serving as the link source, for example, an LED 22 (described later) is turned on. On the other hand, in the interlocked house police 100, the LED is blinked. As a result, the alarm display by the LED in the interlock source alarm and the interlock destination alarm can be distinguished.

  It should be noted that the interlocking source LED may be blinking and the interlocking destination LED may be lit, or the same LED may be blinking or blinking or lit for both the interlocking source alarm and the interlocking destination alarm. Further, for example, a red LED and a yellow LED may be provided, and the two-color display may be performed such that the interlocking source drives the red LED and the interlocking destination drives the yellow LED. Of course, a two-color LED capable of emitting both red and yellow by combining two LEDs can be adopted.

  When the alarm stop switch (described later) is operated in a state in which the house alarm device 100 outputs an alarm sound, the alarm sound and alarm display stop processing is performed.

  At this time, for example, if an alarm stop operation is performed at the home liaison alarm device, the alarms (alarm sound output and / or alarm display output) of all resident alarm devices are stopped and When an alarm stop operation is performed on any of the alarm devices, the alarm operation of the interlocking home police device is not stopped, and the alarm operation of the interlocking home alarm device is stopped.

And the alarm device of the alarm system cooperation type lighting system (henceforth, emergency lighting system) of this invention may mix these various alarm devices.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a lighting device provided in the emergency lighting system of FIG. This is an example, and the separation and integration of each function can be performed arbitrarily, and the execution of the function may be executed by software (program) or hardware. good.

  The lighting device 10 includes a processor 28 known as a one-chip CPU. For the processor 28, a wireless communication unit 30 including an antenna 31, a recording circuit unit (memory) 32, a notification unit 36, an operation unit 38, and a battery power source 40 is provided.

  The wireless communication 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 lighting devices and the house alarm device 100. In addition, at least an event signal from the remote controller 11 described later can be received.

  As the wireless communication unit 30, in Japan, for example, STD-30 (wireless equipment standard of a low power security system wireless station) or STD-T67 known as a standard of a specific low power wireless station of 400 MHz band. It has a configuration that conforms to the standard for specific low-power radio station telemeters, telecontrol and data transmission radio equipment.

  Of course, if the wireless communication unit 30 is directed to a place other than Japan, the wireless communication unit 30 has contents that comply with the standard of the assigned wireless station in that region.

In the memory 32 as a storage unit, a serial number 48 which is a serial number indicating the order of event signals, a transmission source code 50 serving as an ID (own identifier) for identifying each lighting device and a home alarm, as shown in FIG. The group code | symbol 52 for comprising the interlocking | linkage group which performs a joint alarm with the illuminating device 10 installed in the house 24 and the residence guard 100 is stored.

  The serial number 48 is used to manage the processing order of event signals between alarm devices, particularly in wireless communication, but will not be described in detail because it is not directly related to the present invention.

  As the transmission source code 50, for example, a 26-bit code code is used so that it does not overlap with any lighting device and residential alarm provided in Japan, and the serial number of the lighting device or residential alarm is used. ing.

  Re-relay can be permitted or prohibited using the serial number 48 or the transmission source code 50, and relaying as necessary can be performed by performing processing to avoid unnecessary communication. Further, for example, an event signal relayed and transmitted by the interlocking destination terminal is added with the source code of the interlocking source terminal in addition to the transmission source code of the interlocking destination terminal, and is re-started from the interlocking source terminal source code. It is also possible to determine whether transmission is possible or not. In addition, relay transmission permission and prohibition can be set for each event content indicated by the event signal.

  If the lighting device has only a reception function and does not perform relay transmission, a setting unit may be provided for setting all stop of the relay function.

  The group code 52 is a code that is set in common to a plurality of lighting devices and residential alarms that form an interlocking group. From the other lighting device 10 or the residential alarm 100 received by the wireless communication unit 30, the remote controller 11 described later. When the group code included in the event signal matches the group code 52 registered in the memory 32, this event signal is processed as a valid signal. Unnecessary interlocking with alarm devices belonging to other groups that do not need to be avoided.

  The group code 52 does not necessarily have to be the same code for each house alarm, and by performing calculations based on this, it can be determined whether the group to which the self belongs and the group to which another house alarm belongs are the same. Anything is fine.

  The notification unit 36 is provided with a speaker 56 that outputs an alarm sound and the LED 22 that displays an alarm. The speaker 56 outputs various voice messages, alarm sounds, and the like held by itself from a voice synthesis circuit unit (not shown) via an amplification unit (not shown). The LED 22 displays an abnormality such as a fire by blinking, blinking, or lighting. Instead of the speaker 56, a buzzer or the like may be used. Further, instead of the LED 22, a two-color LED, a liquid crystal display, or the like may be provided. Of course, an LED and a liquid crystal display may be provided together. Further, as described above, the LED 22 may be omitted.

  The operation unit 38 is provided with an illumination stop switch 20. The illumination stop switch 20 functions as an illumination stop switch only when the LED illumination unit 16 is lit, and when the illumination stop switch 20 is operated while the illumination is lit, the illumination is turned off, and an alarm is given from the notification unit 36 along with illumination. When outputting, the alarm output from the notification unit 36 is stopped simultaneously with turning off the illumination.

On the other hand, in the normal monitoring state where the illumination is not turned on, the illumination stop switch 20 functions as an inspection switch. When the illumination stop switch 20 is operated in this state, a predetermined self-inspection operation is performed and the speaker of the notification unit 36 is operated. A voice message indicating the inspection result is output from 56.

  The battery power source 40 uses, for example, a lithium battery or an alkaline dry battery having a predetermined number of cells, and as a battery capacity, a sufficiently long operation period is ensured for lighting lighting. A commercial AC power supply or other dedicated power supply may be used instead of the battery power supply.

  The processor 28 is provided with functions of an event detection unit 58, a transmission processing unit 60, a reception processing unit 62, and an illumination control unit 64 as functions realized by executing the program.

  The event detection unit 58 detects the event content from the illumination stop instruction input by the operation unit 38, the decoding result of the event signal from the remote controller 11, another lighting device or the house alarm device 100 obtained through the reception processing unit 62. .

  When the event detection unit 58 detects the reception of an event signal that is turned on or off by the operation of the remote controller 11, the transmission processing unit 60 sends an event signal indicating the content of the detected reception event from the wireless communication unit 30 as necessary. It is transmitted to another lighting device (relay transmission). This relay transmission is performed as necessary according to a predetermined rule so as not to cause confusion in communication. The reception processing unit 62 receives and decodes the event signal from the remote controller 11, the other lighting device 10, and the home guard 100 via the wireless communication unit 30.

  The lighting control unit 64 receives a lighting event signal from the remote controller 11 or another lighting device 10, or receives a fire event signal from the house alarm device 100 or a fire event signal from another lighting device 10 via the reception processing unit 62. The white LED 18 provided in the LED illumination unit 16 is turned on when detected by the event detection unit 58. The lighting of the LED illumination unit 16 may cause the LED 18 to blink or blink.

  When the lighting control unit 64 turns on the LED 18 of the LED lighting unit 16 based on the reception of the fire event signal from the home alarm device 100 or the fire event signal relayed by the other lighting device 10, the lighting control unit 64 causes a fire from the speaker 56. The alarm signal indicating the fire is displayed by driving the LED 22 to blink, for example, and the event signal indicating the fire is further controlled via the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless communication unit 30 at this time. Then, it transmits from the antenna 31 to the other lighting device 10 and the home guard 100 (relay transmission).

  This relay transmission is performed as necessary according to a predetermined rule so as not to cause confusion in communication. Thus, in the event of a fire, the surrounding area is illuminated by the lighting of the LED 18, and the user can determine that the illumination is being performed with the occurrence of a fire by the blinking of the LED 22.

  On the other hand, when the LED 18 is turned on based on the reception of the lighting event signal from the remote controller 11 or another lighting device 10, is the LED 22 driven under conditions different from those at the time of the fire so that the user can distinguish from the fire? Turn off the lights. That is, when driving the LED 22, the conditions are changed so that the user can distinguish between the case based on the reception of the fire event signal and the case based on the reception of the lighting event signal.

  Further, when the event detection unit 58 detects the reception of the fire event signal, the illumination control unit 64 repeatedly outputs an alarm sound indicating a fire, for example, “Woooo is a fire” from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36. That is, the illumination control unit 64 has a function of controlling the sound output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 in addition to the function of controlling the driving of the LED 18 of the LED illumination unit 16 and the LED 22 of the notification unit 36.

  Further, when the event detection unit 58 detects the lighting event signal reception from the remote controller 11 or another lighting device 10, the lighting control unit 64 turns on the LED lighting unit 16 and sends the lighting event signal to the other lighting device 10. Send (relay transmission). This relay transmission is performed as necessary according to a predetermined rule so as not to cause confusion in communication.

  Further, the lighting control unit 64 receives an event signal (hereinafter referred to as a recovery event signal and an alarm stop event signal) indicating a fire recovery or an alarm stop from the residential alarm device 100 or another lighting device 10 while the LED lighting unit 16 is lit, and a remote controller. When an event signal (light-off event signal) indicating turn-off from 11 is received or an operation event of its own illumination stop switch 20 is detected, the LED 18 of the LED illumination unit 16 is turned off. Also at this time, the transmission processing unit 60 performs relay transmission control on the other illumination devices 10 as necessary. It should be noted that the LED illumination unit 16 may be turned off when a predetermined time has elapsed even if no turn-off event is detected, thereby reducing power consumption.

  The illumination control unit 64 warns when the event detection unit 58 detects a low battery failure. The low battery failure is detected by the event detection unit 58 by reading a signal from a voltage detection circuit (not shown) from 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. Compared with a predetermined threshold voltage, a low battery failure is determined when the voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, and the low battery failure is determined when the determination of the low battery failure continues for a predetermined number of times. The low battery failure alarm is output by the alarm sound from 56 and the display of the LED 22.

  For example, “Battery out of battery” is output as a low battery failure alarm sound several times in succession and LED22 blinks, for example. After that, a sound output of “Battery out of battery” and display output by LED22 are performed at regular intervals. Repeat the process. In addition, the lighting control unit 64 may transmit an event signal indicating a low battery failure (hereinafter referred to as a low battery event signal) to another lighting device so that a low battery failure alarm is performed with an alarm sound and / or a display. .

  At this time, different alarm sounds and / or display contents are used in the lighting devices 10 (signal transmission source) where the low battery failure has occurred and the lighting devices of other lighting devices 10 (signal transmission destinations). As a result, the user can identify and identify the lighting device 10 in which the low battery failure has occurred and take measures such as battery replacement.

In addition, disconnection of the output line to the speaker 56 , other circuit failures, communication abnormalities, and the like can be similarly monitored. These processes are performed in the same manner as in the case of the residential alarm 100 described later. However, the failure and the restoration in the lighting device 10 are not linked in the house alarm device 100.

  It should be noted that at least the alarm operation by the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 based on the reception of the fire event signal is not necessary when the lighting device 10 is installed in the same place as the home alarm device 100, and thus provided in the operation unit 38. It is also possible to set a fire alarm operation prohibition mode at the time of startup by a dip switch (not shown). If it does in this way, it can avoid that the audio | voice output of a fire alarm overlaps with the residence guard 100 and the illuminating device 10 which were installed in the same place.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a remote control provided in the emergency lighting system of FIG. In FIG. 5, the remote controller 11 includes a processor 70 known as a one-chip CPU. The processor 70 includes a wireless communication unit 72 including an antenna 81, a display unit 74, an operation unit 76, and a battery power supply 78. .

The wireless communication unit 72 is provided with a transmission circuit 80 so that an event signal can be transmitted wirelessly to the lighting device 10. The transmission circuit 80 of the wireless communication unit 72 is the same as the transmission circuit 42 provided in the illumination device 10 of FIG. The display unit 74 is provided with LEDs and the like. The operation unit 76 is provided with a light switch 82 and a light switch 84.

The processor 70 is provided with functions of an event detection unit 86 and a transmission processing unit 88. The event detection unit 86 detects an event such as an operation for turning on or off the operation unit 76. The transmission processing unit 88 wirelessly transmits an event signal indicating the event detected by the event detection unit 86 from the antenna 81 via the transmission circuit 80 of the wireless communication unit 72.

That is, if it detects the lighting operation by the event detecting unit 86 to transmit an event signal indicating a lighting event to the transmission processing unit 88, when detecting the off operation to transmit an event signal indicating an off the transmission processing unit 88.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a residential alarm provided in the emergency lighting system of FIG. This is an example, and the separation and integration of each function can be performed arbitrarily, and the execution of the function may be executed by software (program) or hardware. good.

  In FIG. 6, the home alarm device 100 includes a processor 128 known as a one-chip CPU. For the processor 128, a wireless communication unit 130 including an antenna 131, a recording circuit unit (memory) 132, a sensor unit 134, a notification A unit 136, an operation unit 138, and a battery power source 140 are provided.

  The wireless communication unit 130 is provided with a transmission circuit 142 and a reception circuit 144 similar to the transmission circuit 42 and the reception circuit 44 provided in the wireless communication unit 30 of the lighting device 10 of FIG. Event signals can be transmitted and received wirelessly.

  The information stored in the wireless communication unit 130 and the memory 132 is the same as the information stored in the memory 32 of the lighting device 10 of FIG. Here, as the transmission source code 50, the serial number of the home guard 100 is used.

  The sensor unit 134 is provided with a smoke detector 116 that detects smoke and outputs a signal. As described above, the sensor unit 134 may be provided with elements for detecting temperature and temperature rise and various elements for detecting changes in other physical phenomena due to a fire, instead of the smoke detection unit 116.

  The notification unit 136 is provided with a speaker 156 that outputs an alarm sound and an LED 122 that displays an alarm. The speaker 156 outputs various voice messages, alarm sounds, and the like held by itself from a voice synthesis circuit unit (not shown) via an amplification unit (not shown). The LED 122 displays an abnormality such as a fire by blinking, blinking, or lighting. Instead of the speaker 156, a buzzer or the like may be used. Instead of the LED 122, a two-color LED, a liquid crystal display, or the like may be provided. Of course, an LED and a liquid crystal display may be provided together.

  The operation unit 138 is provided with an alarm stop switch 120. The alarm stop switch 120 functions as an alarm stop switch only when a fire or failure alarm sound is output from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136 or when an alarm display is performed by the LED 122. For example, if the alarm stop switch 120 is operated during an alarm indicating the interlock source, the alarm sound and the alarm display are stopped. On the other hand, if the alarm stop switch 120 is operated during the alarm indicating the interlock destination, the alarm sound is stopped and the alarm display is displayed. Alarm stop processing is performed such as stopping or stopping after a predetermined time.

On the other hand, in the normal monitoring state where the alarm indicating the interlocking source or the interlocking destination is not performed, the alarm stop switch 120 functions as an inspection switch. When the alarm stop switch 120 is operated in this state, a predetermined self-inspection operation is executed. Then, a voice message indicating the inspection result is output from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136 .

When the alarm stop switch 120 is operated during the fault alarm, the fault alarm stop process may be performed after performing a predetermined self-inspection operation and informing the result. In this way, for example, the failure alarm stop process is performed after rechecking the sensor failure or the like, so that the user can be made to recognize the failure state more clearly. If the failure state has been resolved at this time, for example, a message such as “The failure has been resolved” may be output and the process may proceed to the failure stop process. It should be noted that alarm stop and inspection can also be linked, but the explanation is omitted here.

  The battery power supply 140 uses, for example, a lithium battery or an alkaline battery having a predetermined number of cells, and has a battery capacity of, for example, 10 years due to low power consumption of the entire circuit unit including the wireless communication unit 130 in the home alarm device 100. Battery life is guaranteed.

  The processor 128 is provided with functions of an event detection unit 158, a transmission processing unit 160, a reception processing unit 162, and an alarm processing unit 164 as functions realized by executing the program.

  The event detection unit 158 detects events such as detection of an abnormality (here, a fire) by the sensor unit 134, an alarm stop instruction input or inspection instruction input by the operation unit 138, and an abnormality recovery that eliminates the abnormality detection of the sensor unit 134. In addition, the event detection unit 158 detects the event content obtained as a result of decoding the event signal received from the other residential alarm device 100 or the lighting device 10 via the reception processing unit 162.

  When the event detection unit 158 detects its own event such as abnormality detection by the sensor unit 134, each instruction input by the operation unit 138, abnormality recovery in which the abnormality detection of the sensor unit 134 disappears, the transmission processing unit 160 displays the detected event content. The event signal to be shown is transmitted from the antenna 131 to the other residential alarm device 100 and the lighting device 10 that are linked to each other via the transmission circuit 142 of the wireless communication unit 130. The reception processing unit 162 receives and decodes the event signal from the other home guard 100 and the lighting device 10 via the reception circuit 144 of the wireless communication unit 130.

  When the event detection unit 158 detects a fire as its own abnormality, the alarm processing unit 164 outputs an alarm sound indicating the interlocking source from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136 and also drives the LED 122 to display an alarm indicating the interlocking source. In addition, a fire event signal is transmitted to the other home alarm device 100 and the lighting device 10.

Specifically, the alarm processing unit 164 detects an interlock source from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136 when the event detection unit 158 detects a fire based on the smoke detection signal of the smoke detection unit 116 provided in the sensor unit 134. An alarm sound indicating, for example, “Woo Woo is a fire” is output repeatedly, and the LED 122 is turned on, for example, to display an alarm indicating the interlocking source, and further via the transmission processing unit 160 and the transmission circuit 142 of the wireless communication unit 130 fire event signal is transmitted to other home alarm 100 and illuminating device 10 from antenna 131.

  The alarm processing unit 164 receives a fire signal from any of the other home alarm devices 100 and the lighting device 10 by the reception circuit 144 of the wireless communication unit 130 and when the reception processing unit 162 becomes effective, the notification unit The alarm sound indicating the link destination is repeatedly output from the speaker 156 of 136, for example, “Woo Woo another fire alarm has been activated”, and at the same time, the LED 122 blinks, for example, to indicate the link destination I do.

  Here, the event detection unit 158 detects a sensor failure and a low battery failure. The sensor failure is detected by reading the smoke detection signal output from the smoke detector 116 of the sensor unit 134 at a predetermined measurement time interval T1, for example, T1 = 1 second by A / D conversion, and holding it in the buffer area of the memory 132 For example, at every predetermined time interval T2 = 10 minutes, an average value of the detected data for 10 minutes held in the buffer area of the memory 132 is obtained, and this average value is used as a predetermined reference level (referred to as zero point level). When it falls below, it is determined that the sensor unit 134 is faulty because the detection signal output is stopped.

The reason why the 10-minute average value of the smoke concentration detection signal falls below the zero point level in this way is that the failure of the light receiving element provided in the smoke detector 116, the disconnection of wiring from the light receiving element, the stop of the light receiving amplifier, etc. Since there is a high possibility of a failure, it is assumed to be a failure (collectively referred to as a sensor failure). Even when a temperature detection element such as a thermistor is provided in the sensor unit 134 , a sensor failure can be similarly detected by various processes. In addition, disconnection of the output line to the speaker 156, other circuit failures, communication abnormalities, and the like can be similarly monitored. For such a failure, the same processing as the sensor failure is performed after detection.

  Low battery failure is detected by reading the power supply voltage of the battery power supply 140 by A / D conversion through a voltage detection circuit (not shown) at a predetermined measurement time interval T3, for example, T3 = 4 time intervals, and comparing it with a predetermined threshold voltage. When the voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, it is determined that a low battery failure has occurred, and when the determination of a low battery failure continues for a predetermined number of times, the low battery failure is determined.

  When the event detection unit 158 detects a sensor failure or a low battery failure, the alarm processing unit 164 detects a sensor failure or a low battery failure alarm indicating an interlocking source by an alarm sound from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136 and / or display of the LED 122. Is output. Further, the alarm processing unit 164 transmits a sensor failure or low battery failure event signal to another dwelling device 100 or the lighting device 10 to perform a sensor failure or low battery failure alarm indicating a link destination with an alarm sound and / or display. Make it. In addition, about a failure | failure, you may make it not perform mutual interlocking with the illuminating device 10. FIG.

  Further, when the alarm processing unit 164 receives a sensor failure or low battery failure event signal from any of the other residential alarm devices 100 or the lighting device 10 via the reception circuit 144 and the reception processing unit 162, the alarm processing unit 164 A sensor failure or low battery failure alarm indicating the link destination is output by an alarm sound from the speaker 156 and the display of the LED 122.

  When the event detection unit 158 detects a sensor failure, the alarm processing unit 164 continuously outputs, for example, “it is a pin failure” multiple times as a sensor failure alarm sound indicating the link source (failure source) from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136. At the same time, the LED 122 blinks, for example, and thereafter, the process of outputting the sound of “pick failure” and the display output by the LED 122 is repeated at regular intervals.

  In addition, the alarm processing unit 164 transmits an event signal indicating a sensor failure (sensor failure event signal) to the other residential alarm device 100 and the lighting device 10 via the transmission processing unit 160 and the transmission circuit 142, so that the linkage destination can be obtained. The sensor failure alarm shown is output. At this time, for example, “Beep alarm device is faulty” or “Pi alarm device is faulty” is output as a warning sound, and a blinking display different from that of the interlock source is performed.

  In addition, when the event detection unit 158 detects a low battery failure, the alarm processing unit 164 outputs, for example, “battery is dead” as a low battery failure alarm sound indicating the link source (failure source) from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136. For example, the LED 122 blinks continuously, and the process of outputting the sound of “battery dead” and the display output by the LE 1 D 22 is repeated at regular intervals.

  Further, the alarm processing unit 164 transmits an event signal indicating a low battery failure (low battery failure event signal) to another dwelling device 100 or the lighting device 10, so that a low battery failure alarm indicating a link destination is generated, for example, an alarm Outputs “Beep alarm is out of battery” or “Beep alarm is out of battery” as a sound and flashes differently from the interlock source.

  The alarm processing unit 164 detects the operation of the own alarm stop switch 120 by the event detection unit 158 during the output of the fire alarm indicating the link source or the fire alarm sound indicating the link destination, When the reception of the alarm stop event signal from any one of them is detected, the output of the fire alarm by the voice message from the speaker 156 and the alarm display of the LED 122 is stopped. At this time, the alarm display by the LED 122 may be stopped after the voice message output is stopped for a predetermined time. It should be noted that during the fire alarm indicating the interlock source, at least the output of the alarm sound may be continued even if an event signal (alarm stop event signal) indicating the alarm stop is received.

  Further, when the alarm processing unit 164 detects the alarm stop operation of the alarm stop switch 120 provided in the operation unit 138 by the event detection unit 158 during the output of the sensor failure indicating the link source or the low battery failure alarm, The alarm sound indicating the interlock source is stopped and the fault display is stopped after continuing for a predetermined time, and further, the alarm stop event signal is transmitted to the other residential alarm device 100 and the lighting device 10 that are outputting the fault alarm indicating the interlock destination. To stop the fault warning sound and fault display.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the format of an event signal used in conjunction with this embodiment. In FIG. 7, the event signal 46 includes a serial number 48, a transmission source code 50, a group code 52, and an event code 54.

  The serial number 48 is a serial number indicating the order of event signals, and is incremented by one each time an event signal is transmitted. In addition, the serial number 48 is generated asynchronously by each lighting device 10 and the home guard 100. The serial number 48 is for managing the order of processing of event signals, mainly in wireless communication, between the lighting device 10 and the home alarm device 100, but is not directly related to the present invention, so a detailed description is omitted. To do.

  The transmission source code 50 is a 26-bit code, for example, and uses the serial numbers and the like of the lighting device 10 and the home guard 100. The group code 52 is, for example, an 8-bit code, and the same group code is set for each lighting device 10 and the home guard 100 of FIG.

  In addition, as the group code | symbol 52, in addition to setting the same group code | symbol to the illuminating device 10 and the residence guard 100 of the same group, for example, the reference code common to the illuminating device 10 and the residence guard 100 which comprise a predetermined group, for example Different group codes may be obtained for each house alarm, which are obtained from the calculation of the transmission source code unique to each house alarm.

The event code 54 is a code representing the event content such as a fire, gas leak (for example, a gas leak alarm device or a residence alarm device having a gas leak detection function), and in this embodiment, a 4-bit code is used. For example, 0001 = fire 0010 = gas leakage 0011 = alarm stop 0100 = recovery 0101 = sensor failure 0110 = low battery failure 0111 = lighting 1000 = off. Here, 0000 is used for periodic notification, for example, without event detection.

  By increasing the number of bits of the event code 54 to 5 bits and 6 bits, more event contents can be expressed. For example, recovery event codes may be divided into fire recovery and failure recovery.

  In an alarm device that detects an abnormality other than a fire, the above-described 0001 may be replaced with an abnormal event to be detected, and the type of abnormal event to be detected may be added to the above, for example. In this way, for example, alarm devices having different types of abnormalities to be detected can be mixed in the same group.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of illumination control in the illumination device 10 of FIG. In FIG. 8, when the power supply by the battery power source 40 of the lighting device 10 is started, initialization and self-diagnosis are executed in step S1, and if there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S2, and transmission or relay transmission is performed from the home alarm device 100. It is determined whether or not a fire event signal has been received or relayed and transmitted by another lighting device 10.

  If it is determined in step S2 that the fire event signal has been received, the process proceeds to step S3, the white LED 18 of the LED illumination unit 16 is turned on, and an alarm sound such as a voice message or buzzer sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and an alarm display by blinking the LED 22 To output a fire alarm.

  Subsequently, a fire recovery event signal that is transmitted from the home alarm device 100 when the fire condition is eliminated in step S4 or that is relayed and transmitted by another (interlocking destination) home alarm device 100 or another lighting device 10. If it is determined whether or not reception of fire recovery event is received, the white LED 18 of the LED illumination unit 16 is turned off in step S5, and an alarm sound such as a voice message from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 or a buzzer sound. And the alarm display by the blinking of the LED 22 is stopped.

Subsequently, in step S6, it is determined whether or not an alarm stop event signal has been transmitted based on the operation of the alarm stop switch 120 of the interlocking home alarm device 100 detecting the fire (or relayed). If the reception of the alarm stop event signal is determined, the white LED 18 of the LED illumination unit 16 is turned off in step S7, and the alarm sound from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and the alarm display of the LED 22 are stopped.

  If the prohibit mode is set, the processes in steps S3, S5, and S7 are skipped (not shown).

  Subsequently, in step S8, it is determined whether or not a lighting event signal transmitted or relayed from another lighting device 10 is received. When it is determined that a lighting event signal has been received, the white LED 18 of the LED lighting unit 16 is turned on in step S9.

  At this time, the LED 22 may be operated together, but it is preferable that the conditions are different from those in step S3. For example, the flashing is different from the flashing in step S2 or is turned on. Further, when the LED 22 is a two-color LED, it may be operated with a display color different from that in step S2.

  In this way, the lighting operation based on the occurrence of fire and the lighting operation based on the lighting event signal relayed and transmitted by another lighting device 10 based on the remote control operation can be identified from the display surface of the LED 22. Of course, the illumination by the white LED 18 may have different operating conditions in step S2 and step S8.

  Subsequently, in step S10, it is determined whether or not a light-off event signal transmitted or relayed from another lighting device 10 is received. If light-off event signal reception is determined, the white LED 18 of the LED lighting unit 16 is turned off in step S11. If the LED 22 is also activated in step S9, it is also turned off.

In step S9, S 11, a process based on the on or off event signal reception received from other illuminating devices 10, i.e. those on or off event signal from the remote controller 11 has been relayed by other illuminating devices 10 This process is performed as a result of reception. Thus step S9, on or relay transmission of the off event signal to S 11 in yet another lighting device (re relay) is an example not performed.

  Subsequently, in step S12, it is determined whether or not the lighting event signal transmitted from the remote controller 11 has been received. If it is determined that the lighting event signal has been received, the white LED 18 of the LED illumination unit 16 is turned on in step S13. At this time, the operation control of the white LED 18 and the LED 22 can be variously performed as in step S9. Subsequently, a lighting event signal is transmitted in step S14.

    Subsequently, in step S15, it is determined whether or not the extinction event signal transmitted from the remote controller 11 has been received. If it is determined that the extinction event signal has been received, the LED 18 of the LED illumination unit 16 is extinguished in step S16. If the LED 22 is also activated in step S13, it is also turned off. Subsequently, a lighting event signal is transmitted in step S17.

  In FIG. 8, the illustration of the process when a self-failure or fault recovery is detected and the process of performing an alarm or alarm stop (recovery) operation in conjunction with the fault or fault recovery detection of the home alarm device 100 are omitted. However, the following processing may be inserted as appropriate.

  That is, when failure detection is determined, an alarm sound from the speaker 56 and the display of the LED 22 are used to alarm and a failure event signal is transmitted, and when failure recovery is detected, the failure alarm is stopped and a failure is detected. A recovery event signal is transmitted. On the other hand, the process related to reception of a failure event signal and a failure recovery event signal is the same as the process related to reception of a fire or fire recovery event signal in steps S2 to S5. However, in the event of a failure relating to the output function of the speaker 56, no alarm sound is output.

  9 and 10 are flowcharts showing an example of the monitoring process in the residential alarm device 100 of FIG. In FIG. 9, when the power supply by the battery power supply 140 of the house alarm device 100 is started, initialization and self-diagnosis are executed in step S21. If there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S22, and the fire is monitored. When the smoke detection signal output from the smoke detection unit 116 of the sensor unit 134 exceeds a predetermined fire level, the fire is determined in step S22 and the process proceeds to step S23, where the serial number, the transmission source code, the group code, and the event indicating fire After the fire event signal including the code is wirelessly transmitted, in step S24, a fire alarm indicating an interlocking source is output by an alarm sound such as a voice message from the speaker 156 of the notification unit 136 or a buzzer sound and an alarm display by turning on the LED 122. .

Subsequently, in step S25, it is determined whether or not there is a fire recovery in which the smoke detection signal level from the smoke detecting unit 116 of the sensor unit 134 is lowered and the fire state is resolved. After transmitting the fire recovery event signal including the transmission source code, the group code, and the event code indicating the fire recovery to the other home alarm device 100 and the lighting device 10, the alarm sound from the speaker 156 and the lighting of the LED 122 are turned on in step S27. Stops the fire alarm indicating the interlocking source by the alarm display. The alarm display by the LED 122 may be turned off after a predetermined time has elapsed since the alarm sound stopped.

  Subsequently, in step S28, it is determined whether or not the own alarm stop switch 120 is operated. If switch operation is determined, it is determined in step S29 whether or not an alarm is being issued. If it is determined in step S29 that an alarm is being issued, the process proceeds to step S30, and an alarm stop event signal including an event code indicating a serial number, a transmission source code, a group code, and an alarm stop is sent to the other residential alarm device 100 and the lighting device 10. In step S31, the alarm sound output indicating the interlocking source from the speaker 156 is stopped, and the alarm display by turning on the LED 122 is turned off. At this time, the LED 122 may be turned off after a predetermined time has elapsed since the alarm sound was stopped.

  When it is determined in step S29 that the alarm is not being issued, a predetermined inspection operation is performed to notify the result, but the illustration is omitted.

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S32 in FIG. 10, and it is determined whether or not a fire event signal is transmitted from another home alarm device 100 or relayed from the lighting device 10. When it is determined that the fire event signal has been received, the process proceeds to step S33, where an alarm sound is output from the speaker 156 as a fire alarm indicating the interlocking destination, and an alarm is displayed by blinking the LED 122.

  Next, in step S34, it is determined whether or not a fire recovery event signal has been received transmitted from another residential alarm 100 or relayed from the lighting device 10, and if a fire recovery event signal is received, the process proceeds to step S35. The alarm display by the alarm sound output from the speaker 156 and the blinking of the LED 122, which is performed as an alarm at the link destination, is stopped.

  Next, in step S36, it is checked whether or not an alarm stop event signal has been received transmitted from another residential alarm device 100 or relayed from the lighting device 10, and if reception of the alarm stop event signal is determined, step S37 is performed. The process proceeds to step S38 to determine whether or not an alarm is in progress. If it is determined that the alarm is being performed, the process proceeds to step S38, the alarm sound output as the interlocking destination is stopped, and the alarm display is also stopped.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of a lighting device according to the present invention. In FIG. 11, the illumination device 10 of this embodiment includes a processor 28 known as a one-chip CPU.
