Description

The present invention relates to an alarm system for performing a sound pressure measurement test of an alarm sound output from an alarm device linked by radio.

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

  In such a house alarm, the sensor unit and the alarm unit are integrally provided in the house alarm, and when a fire is detected from the detection signal of the sensor unit, a fire alarm sound of a predetermined pattern is output from the alarm unit. It is easy to install and inexpensive because it can be used for fire monitoring and alarms without requiring a dedicated receiving facility, etc. Yes.

  In addition, by communicating between multiple home alarms, when a fire alarm sound is output from any home alarm, an interlocked home police that outputs a fire alarm sound in conjunction with other home alarms. A vessel system has also been proposed.

  In such an interlocked house alarm system, when a fire is detected by the house alarm, the interlocking house alarm that detects the fire has a predetermined pattern of fire alarm sound including a message and an alarm sound, for example, “Woo Woo `` Check that the fire alarm has been activated '' is output, while the linked alarm device outputs a fire alarm sound such as `` Check that another fire alarm has been activated ''. ing. Here, the “woo-woo” portion of the fire alarm sound is a sweep sound from 2 Hz to 3 KHz, for example.

  In the interlocked alarm system, a sound pressure measurement test is conducted as necessary to confirm that the required sound volume can be obtained from the speaker of the home alarm installed at the time of construction or periodic inspection of the house. ing. In this sound pressure measurement test, a sound level meter (sound pressure meter) is installed at a predetermined distance from the home security device to be tested. For example, the sound pressure of the fire alarm sound is constant and the frequency is changed. The peak value of the sound level meter is read for the output of the sweep warning sound “Woo Woo”, which is a fire alarm sound part suitable for sound pressure measurement.

  However, in a sound pressure measurement test using the sweep alarm sound in the fire alarm sound as a test sound, the measurer must use the sound level meter's guideline when the sweep alarm sound is output in the fire alarm sound that is repeatedly output. In an unstable situation, it is necessary to read the peak value, and if the reading fails, it is necessary to wait until the test sound of the sweep warning sound is output again. There was such a problem.

Therefore, in the conventional sound pressure measurement test, the sweep warning sound suitable for the sound pressure measurement test in the sound warning signal is continuously output as the test sound, and the sound pressure is not waited for the measurement timing when the sweep warning sound is output. The measurement test can be easily performed.

  By the way, in the sound pressure measurement test of the home alarm device in such a conventional interlocking alarm system, a sound level meter (or a sound level meter, a sound pressure meter, hereinafter not particularly distinguished) is installed at the installation location of the home alarm device. It is installed and the test sound is output from the speaker by operating the switch provided on the house alarm, and the house alarm is operated in the high place such as the wall near the ceiling of the room. There is a problem that it takes time to complete the sound pressure measurement test of all the house alarms.

  In addition, because the test is instructed by operating the switch of the house alarm and the sound pressure is measured by a separately installed sound level meter, the test instruction operation and the test measurement are performed at different locations, and the sound pressure measurement test is performed. There is also a problem that work cannot be done efficiently.

  Also, if a fire occurs during the sound pressure measurement test, a fire alarm sound of a predetermined pattern is output from the interlocking source home alarm device that detected the fire and other interlocking destination home alarm devices. However, since the resident alarm device that is conducting the sound pressure measurement test is continuously outputting the sweep alarm sound as the test sound, a fire alarm sound should be output unless the test stop operation is performed for the resident alarm device under test. There is a risk that the fire alarm sound from the resident alarm under test may not be output properly.

  In addition, the interlocking type house guard is installed in multiple places such as kitchen, living room, bedroom, and child room where there is a possibility of fire in one house. In operation, all house alarms will output a fire alarm. In this case, it is necessary to be able to hear the fire alarm sound from the house alarm at a sufficient volume even in rooms and hallways where no house alarm is installed. Tests that measure sound pressure have not been performed, so if a fire breaks out, depending on where the person is at home, the fire alarm sound may not be heard sufficiently and the response may be delayed.

  In addition, when installing a house alarm, conventionally only a sound pressure measurement test was performed by installing a noise meter at a predetermined distance to the house alarm, considering the place where the house alarm was not installed. There is a possibility that it cannot be installed sufficiently. In order to solve such problems, measure the sound pressure in a place where the house alarm is not installed, and if the sound pressure is insufficient, change the place where the house alarm is installed. It is necessary to take such measures.

The present invention makes it possible to easily perform a sound pressure measurement test of a speaker in consideration of a place where an alarm device is not installed, and to appropriately and quickly cope with a fire that occurs during the sound pressure measurement test. The purpose is to provide an alarm system .

Flowchart showing test instruction processing by the test apparatus of FIG.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory view illustrating an installation state when the alarm system according to the present invention is applied to a house. In the example of FIG. 1, a wireless alarm device that detects and alerts a fire as an abnormality in each of the alert areas of the kitchen, living room, children's room, main bedroom, and staircase provided in the house 24. No. 1-5 (home fire alarm) 10-1 to 10-5 are installed. In addition, in the following description, in the case where the home alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 are collectively referred to without distinction, the home alarm device 10 may be referred to.

  The home alarm device 10 has a function of wirelessly transmitting and receiving interlocking signals to each other, and performs fire monitoring on the monitoring areas corresponding to the respective warning areas at various locations in the house. If a fire has occurred in the kitchen of the house 24, the home alarm device 10-1 in the fire occurrence place (kitchen) 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 10-1 issues a report, the home alarm device 10-1 functions as an interlocking source, and wirelessly transmits a fire interlocking signal to the other residential alarm devices 10-2 to 10-5 as the interlocking destination. Send. When the other home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-5 have received the fire interlock signal from the home alarm device 10-1 of the interlocking source effectively, the alarm operation as the interlocking destination is performed by the alarm sound and the alarm display.

  When the group code included in the received interlocking signal matches the group code registered in the memory, that is, when the received interlocking signal is an interlocking signal within the interlocking group to which it belongs (and the signal content is recognized normally) When it is possible to detect that this interlocking signal has been received effectively. In addition, the interlock signal transmitted from the home alarm device 10 includes, for example, a source code as identification information indicating the source home alarm device. In addition, the home alarm device that has effectively received the interlocking signal relays the interlocking signal as necessary. In the following description, effective reception is simply described as reception.

  In addition to the above-mentioned fire, the home alarm detects fire recovery, alarm stop operation, sound pressure measurement test execution operation, failure and power failure, etc., and also receives various interlocking signals from other alarm devices. Detect. These will be described later.

  As an alarm operation of the home alarm device 10-1 that is the interlocking source, for example, a warning sound of a predetermined pattern including an alarm sound and a message such as “Please confirm that the Woo Woo fire alarm has been activated” is output. On the other hand, fire alarm sounds such as “Please confirm that another fire alarm has been activated” are output for the linked home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-5.

  Among such fire alarm sounds, the “woo-woo” part is a sweep sound in which the signal amplitude of the signal for driving the speaker is constant and the frequency changes at, for example, 2 to 3 KHz, and the test at the time of sound pressure measurement in this embodiment In ringing, the sweep sound “Woo Woo” in the fire alarm sound is repeatedly or continuously output as a test sound for a predetermined time.

  Moreover, as an alarm display accompanying the alarm of the home police device 10-1 which became the interlocking | linkage origin, LED is lighted, for example. On the other hand, in the interlocked residence police 10-2 to 10-5, 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. For the alarm display, other appropriate means and methods can be used.

  The state where the house alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 are outputting the alarm sound (during a series of output processing, that is, during the predetermined time in advance. In the case of complete output, the pause time is also included. The same applies hereinafter). When the alarm stop switch is operated, the alarm sound and alarm display stop processing is performed.

  In this embodiment, the test apparatus 100 is detachably provided on the sound level meter 102 that functions as a sound pressure measuring device, and is used by being mounted on the sound level meter 102.

  The test apparatus 100 performs a sound pressure measurement test (ringing test) of the residential alarm 10 at the time of installation and subsequent periodic inspection. When the test apparatus 100 performs a ring test operation, a ring test instruction signal is transmitted to the home alarm device 10, and the sweep sound portion in the fire alarm sound from the speaker of the home alarm device 10 continues as a test sound for a predetermined time. Or repeatedly output (test ringing).

In the following description, the operation in which the resident alarm 10 outputs the sweep sound portion of the fire alarm sound as a test sound from the speaker in response to the sound test instruction signal from the test apparatus 100 is called a sound test. Outputting a test sound by a test is called test ringing.

  For the ringing test for measuring the sound pressure by the test apparatus 100, for example, the individual ringing test for outputting the test sound from only the residential alarm 10-1 and all of the residential alarms 10-1 to 10-5 at the same time. There is a simultaneous ring test that outputs test sounds.

  In the individual ringing test, the sound level meter 102 to which the test apparatus 100 is attached is, for example, hand-held at a measurement distance of, for example, about 1 meter in the front direction with respect to the residential alarm 10-1, and in this state, the individual ringing of the test apparatus 100 is performed. When the test operation is performed, for example, an individual ring test instruction signal is transmitted with a weak transmission power that can be received only by a nearby residence police device 10-1 installed in the same room. In this case, it is sufficient that the transmission power can be secured, for example, about 10 meters as the line-of-sight communication distance. As a result, the radio waves of the individual ring test instruction signals do not reach the residence police devices 10-2 to 10-5 installed in other rooms far from the test apparatus 100, and cannot be received by these.

  Further, the individual ring test instruction signal includes relay prohibition information (symbol), and relay transmission is not performed even if the individual ring test instruction signal is received by the residential alarm 10-1 to be tested. The individual ring test instruction signal is not sent to the home alarm devices 10-2 to 10-5.

  The simultaneous ringing test is used when sound pressure measurement is performed at a place where the residential alarms 10-1 to 10-5 are not installed, for example, at the entrance, hallway, bathroom, or the like. That is, when the test apparatus 100 is carried to a place where the house alarm 10 is not installed and a simultaneous ringing test operation is performed at that place, for example, the same transmission power as the house alarm 10 does not include relay prohibition information (code). The ringing test instruction signal is transmitted and received by all of the residential alarms because of sufficient transmission power, and even if there is a residential alarm that cannot receive the simultaneous ringing test instruction signal directly from the test apparatus 100, it could be received. By receiving the signal relayed from the home alarm device, the result is received by all the home alarm devices, and the test sound is output all at once.

  From the result of sound pressure measurement by the simultaneous ring test, the place where the house alarm is not installed when the house alarm 10-1 to 10-5 outputs a fire alarm sound due to the occurrence of a fire (other arbitrary The sound pressure that can be heard at the place of (2) is measured by the sound level meter 102, and it can be determined whether or not an appropriate sound pressure is obtained.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the appearance of a house alarm provided in the alarm system of the present invention, and FIG. 2 (A) shows a front view and FIG. 2 (B) shows a side view. The side where the attachment hook 15 is provided is the upper side.

  In FIG. 2, the housing of the residential alarm 10 according to the present embodiment includes a cover 12 and a main body 14. A plurality of smoke inlets are opened in the center of the cover 12, and a smoke detector 16 is disposed inside the cover 12, so that a fire is detected when smoke from the fire reaches a predetermined concentration.

A plurality of slit-like acoustic holes 18 are provided on the lower left side of the smoke detector 16 and a speaker is built in behind this to output a predetermined pattern of fire alarm sound combining alarm sound and message. When the sound pressure measurement test is executed, a sweep sound portion in the fire alarm sound is output from the speaker as a test sound continuously or repeatedly over a predetermined time.

  An alarm stop switch 20 is provided below the smoke detector 16. The alarm stop switch 20 includes a switch cover formed of a translucent member and a push switch (not shown) arranged inside the switch cover. That is, when the switch cover is pressed, the push switch is pressed in cooperation with the switch cover. In the vicinity of the push switch inside the switch cover, an LED 22 for displaying an alarm or the like is arranged as indicated by a dotted line. When the LED 22 lights up, flashes, or blinks, the operating light passes through the switch cover portion of the alarm stop switch 20. The operation state of the LED 22 can be visually recognized from the outside.

  Further, a mounting hook 15 having an insertion hole in a substantially central portion is provided at the upper part on the back side of the main body 14, and a screw or the like is screwed into the wall surface of the room to be installed and hooked through the insertion hole of the mounting hook 15, The housing alarm 10 can be fixedly installed on the wall surface in a so-called wall-hanging manner.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the external appearance of the test apparatus provided in the alarm system of the present invention, taking as an example the case where it is detachably provided on the sound level meter. In FIG. 3, the test apparatus 100 of the present embodiment is detachably provided by a holder 114 on a sound level meter 102 that functions as a sound pressure measuring apparatus.

The sound level meter 102 is provided with a power switch 106, a noise measurement switch 108, a sound pressure measurement switch 110, and a display 115, and a microphone 112 with a sponge cover on the top. In the sound pressure measurement test, when the power switch 106 is turned on and the sound pressure measurement switch 110 is turned on, the sound pressure detected by the microphone 112 is displayed on the display 115 .

  In the sound pressure measurement of the individual ring test of the home alarm device 10, for example, if a peak measurement value of 70 dB / m or more is obtained, it is determined to be appropriate. Further, in the sound pressure test of the simultaneous ring test of a plurality of house alarms, it is determined to be appropriate if a measured value of, for example, 60 dB / m or more is obtained at a predetermined location where no house alarm is installed.

  The test apparatus 100 provided detachably with respect to the sound level meter 102 includes a power switch 116, an individual ring test switch 118, a simultaneous ring test switch 120, and an indicator lamp 122. When the individual ring test switch 118 is turned on, the test apparatus 100 is individually connected from the antenna 124. The ringing test instruction signal is transmitted with a weak transmission power, and when the simultaneous ringing test switch 120 is turned on, the simultaneous ringing test instruction signal is transmitted with a transmission power equivalent to the interlocking signal of the residential alarm 10.

  When the test apparatus 100 is combined with the sound level meter 102 as described above, there is an advantage that an appropriate sound level meter can be used as the sound level meter 102. Of course, a test apparatus in which the sound pressure measurement test function of the test apparatus 100 is integrated into the sound level meter 102 may be used.

  FIG. 4A illustrates the state of the sound pressure measurement test (ringing test) of the house alarm device 10 by the individual ringing test instruction signal transmission from the test apparatus 100. In FIG. 4 (A), when measuring the sound pressure of the individual ringing test of, for example, the house alarm device 10-1 among the house alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5, for example, the front surface from the house alarm device 10-1. For example, a sound level meter 102 equipped with the test apparatus 100 shown in FIG. 3 is hand-held at a position approximately 1 meter away, and the power switch 106 of the sound level meter 102 and the power switch 116 of the test apparatus 100 are turned on. to start.

  Subsequently, when the individual ring test switch 118 provided in the test apparatus 100 is operated, the relay prohibition information is included with a weak transmission power that reaches the dwelling device 10-1 but does not reach the other dwelling devices 10-2 to 5-5. When the individual ring test instruction signal is transmitted and the reception of the individual ring test instruction signal is detected by the residential alarm 10-1, the individual ring test is executed.

  In the individual ringing test, for example, the sweep sound “Woo Woo” in the fire alarm sound “Woo Woo Fire Alarm Activated” indicating the interlock source is output as the test sound 25 continuously or repeatedly for a predetermined time. To do. During the output of the test sound, the measurer reads the peak value from the sound level meter 102 and determines that it is appropriate if, for example, 70 dB / m or more is obtained.

  In the case of a sound pressure measurement test performed by installing a sound level meter 102 equipped with the test apparatus 100 at an arbitrary place such as a place where the home alarm 10 is not installed, a simultaneous ring test switch provided on the test apparatus 100 By operating 120, a simultaneous ringing test instruction signal that does not include relay prohibition information is transmitted at a transmission power equivalent to the transmission power of, for example, the residential alarm 10, and the reception is detected by the residential alarm 10, all at once. A simultaneous ringing test that outputs a test sound is executed. Here, description of relay transmission, retry of wireless communication, and the like is omitted, but as a result, the simultaneous ring test instruction signal is received by all the residential alarms 10.

  A sound pressure that can be sufficiently heard by reading the peak measurement value of the sound level meter 102 in the test apparatus 100 installed in a place where the home alarm device 10 is not installed during the simultaneous test ringing is, for example, 60 dB / m or more. Check if it has been obtained.

  FIG. 4 (B) shows an operation when a fire occurrence is detected in another residential alarm 10-3 during execution of the sound pressure measurement test in the residential alarm 10-1. When a fire occurrence is detected by the resident alarm 10-3 while the sound pressure measurement test of the resident alarm 10-1 is being executed (during the test ringing), the resident alarm 10-3 generates a fire alarm sound 27 indicating the interlocking source. While outputting, a fire interlocking signal is transmitted to other dwelling devices 10-1, 10-2, 10-4, 10-5.

  The home alarm device 10-1 receiving the fire interlocking signal during the sounding test interrupts the test sounding, that is, the output of the test sound, and then the fire alarm sound indicating the interlocking destination is output. Of course, the fire alarm sound indicating the interlocking destination is also output in the other residential alarm devices 10-2, 10-4, and 10-5.

  The fire alarm sound that indicates the link destination is, for example, `` Please check that another fire alarm has been activated, '' but for the residential alarm that interrupted the test ringing, the fire occurred during the test. For example, “Woo-woo check that another fire alarm has been activated during the test” is output as a fire alarm sound including the message.

  By including a message indicating that a fire has occurred during the execution of the test in the message of the fire alarm sound from the residential alarm 10-1 that interrupted the test ringing in this way, the fire alarm sound after the test ringing is interrupted Preventing misidentification as test sound for sound pressure measurement, inspectors can quickly recognize the occurrence of a fire and enable quick fire source confirmation, initial fire extinguishing, and evacuation.

The group code | symbol 52 for comprising the interlocking | linkage group which performs an interlocking | linkage alarm with the house alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 is stored.

  The sensor unit 34 is provided with a smoke detector 16 that detects smoke and outputs a signal corresponding to the smoke concentration. In addition, instead of or in addition to the smoke detector 16, the sensor unit 34 includes a temperature detection element such as a thermistor that detects a temperature and a temperature change due to a fire, and various elements that detect changes in other physical phenomena caused by the fire. It may be provided.

  The notification unit 36 is provided with a sound amplifier 55 and a speaker 56 for outputting an alarm sound or the like, and an LED 22 for displaying an alarm or the like. The speaker 56 outputs various messages, alarm sounds, and the like stored in the memory 32 and the like from a voice synthesis circuit 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.

  The operation unit 38 is provided with an alarm stop switch 20. The alarm stop switch 20 functions as an alarm stop switch when a fire or fault alarm sound is output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 or when an alarm display is performed by the LED 22.

  The alarm stop switch 20 functions as an inspection switch in a normal monitoring state in which an alarm indicating the interlocking source or the interlocking destination is not performed. When the alarm stop switch 20 is operated in this state, a predetermined self-inspection operation is performed. And a voice message indicating the inspection result is output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36.

  The battery power source 40 that supplies power to each necessary unit uses, for example, a lithium battery or an alkaline battery having a predetermined number of cells, and the battery capacity is low power consumption of the entire circuit unit including the wireless communication unit 30 in the residential alarm 10. For example, the battery life of 10 years is guaranteed.

  The processor 28 is provided with functions of an alarm processing unit 60, a test execution unit 62, and a test interruption unit 64 as functions realized by executing the program.

  When the alarm processing unit 60 detects a fire based on the detection signal output of the smoke detector 16 provided in the sensor unit 34, the alarm processing unit 60 outputs an alarm sound indicating the interlocking source from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 and turns on the LED 22, for example. It drives and displays an alarm indicating the interlocking source, and further transmits a fire interlocking signal to other home alarm devices.

  Specifically, the alarm processing unit 60, when detecting a fire based on the smoke detection signal of the smoke detecting unit 16 provided in the sensor unit 34, gives an alarm sound indicating the interlock source from the speaker 56 to the notification unit 36, for example. While performing the control to repeatedly output the sound alarm sound of “Woo Woo is a fire”, the alarm display control to turn on the LED 22 is performed, and further, the fire interlock signal is transmitted from the antenna 31 to the other by the transmission circuit 42 of the wireless communication unit 30. Controls the transmission to the home alarm.

  The alarm processing unit 60 receives a fire interlock signal from any of the other home alarm devices via the reception circuit 44 of the wireless communication unit 30, and the fire alarm sound indicating the interlock destination from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36. For example, “Woo-woo, check that another fire alarm has been activated” is repeatedly output, and at the same time, the LED 22 blinks to display an alarm indicating the interlocking destination.

  In addition, the alarm processing unit 60 receives an alarm stop interlock signal when detecting an operation of the alarm stop switch 20 during output of a fire alarm sound indicating the interlock source or a fire alarm sound indicating the interlock destination, or from another house alarm device. If it does, the output of the fire alarm by the voice message from the speaker 56 and the alarm display of the LED 22 is stopped. In addition, when the operation of the own alarm stop switch 20 is detected, the alarm is stopped and an alarm stop interlocking signal is transmitted to other residential alarm devices.

  The alarm processing unit 60 detects a failure such as a battery voltage drop or a sensor unit failure via a monitoring circuit (not shown), and performs a corresponding notification process, an interlocking signal transmission process, and the like as necessary.

  Next, functions of the test execution unit 62 and the test interruption unit 64 will be described. When the test execution unit 62 receives the individual ring test instruction signal or the simultaneous ring test instruction signal transmitted from the test apparatus 100, the sweep sound “Woo Woo” suitable for sound pressure measurement in the fire alarm sound indicating the interlock source is received. Is used as a test sound, and is output (test ringing) continuously or repeatedly from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 for a predetermined time required for the sound pressure measurement test, for example, for one minute.

  Prior to the execution of the sound pressure measurement test, as shown in FIG. 5, the measurer installs a sound level meter 102 in advance at a position approximately 1 meter in front of the residential police device 10-1 where the sound pressure measurement test is performed. The peak value of the test sound output by the test ringing from the speaker 56 in the execution of the sound pressure measurement test is measured, and if it is 70 dB / m or more, it is determined to be appropriate.

  The test execution unit 62 does not relay the received individual ring test instruction signal based on the relay prohibition information included in the individual ring test instruction signal. On the other hand, since the broadcast prohibition information is not included in the simultaneous ring test instruction signal, the received simultaneous ring test instruction signal is relayed and transmitted via the wireless communication unit 30 under the control of the alarm processing unit 60.

Test interruption unit 64 during execution of the sound pressure measurement test by the test execution unit 62, i.e., in a continuous or repeated output by sweeping sound "Woo Woo" and the test sound over a predetermined time, a fire in the alarm processing unit 60 Is detected, the test ringing is interrupted, and a fire alarm sound indicating the link destination is output from the speaker 56.

Here, in the detection of the fire occurrence by the alarm processing unit 60, when the fire is detected based on the signal from the smoke detector 16 of the home alarm device 10 itself, and when the fire is detected based on the reception of the fire interlocking signal from another home alarm device Although there is a high possibility that the measurer will notice the fire at the measurement location directly during the sound pressure measurement test, it is difficult to notice because there is no measurer at other locations. Since the notification of the occurrence of a fire at another location is particularly important as compared to the notification of the fire detected at the measurement location (the monitoring area of the home alarm device that is the interlocking source), the test interruption unit 64 is at least When a fire interlocking signal is received from another house alarm device, the sound pressure measurement test is interrupted and a fire alarm sound indicating the interlocking destination is output from the speaker 56.

  In addition, when the test interruption unit 64 detects the occurrence of a fire during the execution of the sound pressure measurement test, an abnormality occurred during the test after interrupting the continuous or repeated output of the test sound “Woo Woo” using the sweep sound. As a fire alarm sound of a predetermined pattern including a message indicating `` For example, `` Woooo during the test, please check that another alarm was activated during the test '' is output, and clearly notify that a fire occurred during the test Like that.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an interlocking signal format used for the interlocking alarm of the residential alarm of FIG. In FIG. 6, the interlock signal 46 includes a serial number 48, a transmission source code 50, a group code 52, and an interlock code 54.

  The serial number 48 is a serial number indicating the generation and transmission order of the interlocking signal, and is incremented by one each time the interlocking signal is transmitted asynchronously in each of the home alarm device 10 and the test apparatus 100. The serial number 48 is used for managing the reception order of the interlocking signals, the relay processing, and the like in the wireless communication between the residential alarms 10 but is not directly related to the present invention, and therefore will not be described in detail.

  The transmission source code 50 is, for example, a 26-bit multi-bit code used as house alarm identification information, and uses, for example, the house alarm 10 and the serial number of the test apparatus 100. The group code 52 is, for example, an 8-bit code. For example, the same group code is set for each of the residential alarm devices 10-1 to 10-5 and the test apparatus 100 shown in FIG.

  The ringing test instruction signal has the same format as the interlocking signal shown in FIG. 7, and includes a code indicating the test instruction (test instruction code) as the interlocking code described below. You may make it attach | subject and distinguish the code | symbol which shows the instruction | indication of an individual ring test, and the code | symbol which shows the instruction | indication of a simultaneous ring test. In the case of a ringing test instruction signal indicating an individual ringing test, relay prohibition information (symbol) is further provided. The serial number of the test apparatus 100 is used as the transmission source code. The test apparatus 100 is used by performing new group registration every time the dwelling unit to be tested changes. However, if a common code is prepared for the test apparatus 100 different from the group code and stored in the test apparatus 100 and the residential alarm 10, and this is added to the ring test instruction signal and transmitted, each test object There is no need to register a group.

The interlocking code 54 is a code representing interlocking contents such as a fire, gas leak (for example, a gas leak alarm or a housing alarm having a gas leak detection function), and is 4 bits in the embodiment of FIG. For example, 0001 = fire 0010 = gas leak 0011 = alarm stop (fire alarm stop, gas leak alarm stop, fault alarm stop)
0100 = recovery (fire recovery, gas leak recovery, failure recovery)
0101 = Sensor failure 0110 = Low battery failure. Here, 0000 is used for, for example, a periodic notification that does not involve detection of a linked event as exemplified in the 4-bit code.

  FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the test apparatus 100 of FIG. This is an example, and the separation and integration of each function can be arbitrarily performed, and each part or all of each function is executed by hardware even if executed by software (program). It may be a thing.

  The test apparatus 100 combined with the sound level meter 102 of FIG. 7 includes a processor 128 known as a one-chip CPU. For the processor 128, a wireless communication unit 130 including an antenna 124, a memory 132, an indicator lamp 122, an operation A unit 138 and a battery power source 140 are provided. The battery power supply 140 supplies power to necessary parts. The sound level meter 102 is also battery-driven, and can be used without requiring another power source.

  The wireless communication unit 130 is provided with a modulation unit 142, a transmission amplifier 144, and an attenuator 145. The attenuator 145 is controlled to be inserted and disconnected by the processor 128, and the transmission power is switched between two levels.

  The modulation unit 142 outputs a transmission signal obtained by digitally modulating the carrier wave signal according to the ring test instruction signal (digital signal) from the processor 128, and the transmission amplifier 144 amplifies the transmission signal from the modulator 142 so as to have a predetermined transmission power. Then, power is supplied to the antenna 124 via the attenuator 145. The modulator 142 and the transmission amplifier 144 have a configuration conforming to STD-30 or STD-T67, which is known as a standard for a specific low-power radio station, like the transmission circuit 42 of the home guard 10.

  When the attenuator 145 is disconnected, the transmission signal from the transmission amplifier 144 is fed directly to the antenna 124 without being attenuated. The transmission power in this case is the same transmission power as that of the transmission circuit 42 of the residential guard 10 shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, when the attenuator 145 is inserted and connected, the signal from the transmission amplifier 144 is attenuated and fed to the antenna 124. The transmission power in this case is, for example, a communication distance of, for example, 1 meter, which is the installation distance of the sound level meter 102 equipped with the test device 100 for the residential alarm device 10-1 that performs the sound pressure measurement test as shown in FIG. For example, it is set to a weak low transmission power of, for example, 1/10 or less of the high transmission power when the attenuator 145 is disconnected.

  Note that the switching of the transmission power level in the wireless communication unit 130 in two steps may be performed by gain control of the transmission amplifier 144. The switching stage may be three or more stages.

  The operation unit 138 includes an individual ring test switch 118, a simultaneous ring test switch 120, and a power switch 116.

  The processor 128 is provided with the function of the test instruction unit 160 as a function realized by executing the program. When the test instruction unit 160 detects an instruction input from the individual ring test switch 118 provided in the operation unit 138, the test instruction unit 160 inserts and connects the attenuator 145 of the wireless communication unit 130 and switches the relay prohibition information to the low transmission power. The individual ring test instruction signal including the signal is transmitted from the wireless communication unit 130.

  In addition, when the test instruction unit 160 detects an instruction input by the simultaneous ring test switch 120 provided in the operation unit 138, the test instruction unit 160 includes the relay prohibition information in a state where the attenuator 145 of the wireless communication unit 130 is disconnected and switched to high transmission power. The wireless communication unit 130 transmits a non-simultaneous ringing test instruction signal.

  8 and 9 are flowcharts showing an example of the monitoring process in the residential alarm 10 of FIG. In FIG. 8, when power supply from the battery power supply 40 of the home guard 10 is started, various settings including the presence / absence of initialization, self-diagnosis, and prohibit mode setting are executed in step S <b> 1. Proceeding to step S2, the fire is monitored. If there is an initialization abnormality in step S1, the process of step S1 is executed again. If initialization abnormality occurs continuously a predetermined number of times, the above is notified and the process is stopped, but the illustration is omitted. doing. This also applies to step S41 in FIG.

  When the smoke detection signal output from the smoke detector 16 provided in the sensor unit 34 exceeds a predetermined fire level, a fire is detected. In step S2, the fire detection is determined, and the process proceeds to step S3. In step S4, a fire alarm indicating a link source is output from the speaker 56 of the notification unit 36 by an alarm sound such as a voice message or a buzzer sound and an alarm display by turning on the LED 22, for example.

  Subsequently, in step S5, it is determined whether or not there is a fire recovery detection in which the smoke detection signal from the sensor unit 34 is reduced to cancel the fire detection state. In step S7, the fire alarm output indicating the interlocking source by the alarm sound from the speaker 56 and the lighting alarm display of the LED 22 is stopped in step S7. The alarm display by the LED 22 may be turned off after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  Subsequently, in step S8, it is determined whether or not an alarm stop instruction operation is detected by the alarm stop switch 20, and if the alarm stop operation is detected, the process proceeds to step S9, where an alarm stop interlocking signal is transmitted to the other resident alarm, Proceeding to S10, the alarm sound output indicating the interlocking source from the speaker 56 is stopped, and the alarm display by turning on the LED 22 is turned off. The LED 22 may be turned off after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  Then, it progresses to step S11 of FIG. 11, and it is discriminate | determined the presence or absence of the fire interlocking | linkage signal reception detection transmitted or relay-transmitted from the other house alarm device. When it is determined that a fire-linked signal has been detected from another house alarm, the process proceeds to step S12, where an alarm sound is output from the speaker 56 as a fire alarm indicating the linked destination, and an alarm is displayed by blinking the LED 22.

  Next, in step S13, it is determined whether or not a fire recovery interlock signal has been transmitted or relayed from another house alarm, and if it is determined that a fire recovery interlock signal has been received, the process proceeds to step S14 to perform an interlock destination alarm. The alarm display by the alarm sound output from the speaker 56 and the blinking of the LED 22 is stopped.

  Next, in step S15, it is determined whether or not an alarm stop interlocking signal has been received or relayed from another resident alarm, and if alarm stop interlocking signal reception detection is determined, the process proceeds to step S16 to determine whether or not an alarm is being issued. If it is determined that the alarm is being performed, the process proceeds to step S17 to stop the alarm sound output as the interlocking destination and to stop the alarm display. Subsequently, a sound pressure measurement test process is executed in step S18.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing details of the sound pressure measurement test process in step S18 of FIG. In FIG. 10, in step S <b> 21, it is determined whether or not a ringing test instruction signal reception detection of individual ringing or simultaneous ringing transmitted from the test apparatus 100 is detected. If it is determined in step S21 that the ringing test instruction signal is detected, the process proceeds to step S22, where the alarm sound signal of the sweep sound “Woo-woo” in the fire alarm sound of a predetermined pattern indicating the interlock source or the interlock destination is synthesized. Generated by the circuit, continuously or repeatedly output, and output from the speaker 56.

  Subsequently, the process proceeds to step S23 to determine whether or not there is a relay prohibition code. If it is determined that there is no relay prohibition code, the process proceeds to step S24 and a ringing test instruction signal is relayed and transmitted. Step S24 is skipped and the ringing test instruction signal is not relayed.

  Subsequently, in step S25, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. Until the predetermined time elapses, whether or not a fire occurrence is detected is determined in step S26, and the predetermined time has elapsed without determining the fire occurrence detection. Is determined, the process proceeds to step S31, and the test sound output by the sweep sound output from the speaker 56 is stopped.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S26 that a fire-linked signal has been detected from another house alarm device while the test sound is being output for a predetermined time, that is, during the test ringing, the process proceeds to step S27, where the test ringing is interrupted. In S28, a fire alarm sound indicating the interlocking destination and an alarm display are performed. The alarm sound in this case clearly indicates that a fire has occurred during the test as a fire alarm sound of a predetermined pattern including a message indicating that an abnormality has occurred during the test.

  During the output of the fire alarm sound, it is determined whether or not an alarm stop has been detected in step S29. If it is determined that the alarm stop has been detected, the process proceeds to step S30 to stop the fire alarm sound and alarm display. The determination of the alarm stop detection in step S29 is a case where either the detection of the operation instruction input of the alarm stop switch 20 or the reception detection of the fire recovery interlock signal or the alarm stop interlock signal from another house alarm is determined. The details are as shown in steps S5 to S10 in FIG. 8 and steps S13 to S17 in FIG.

  In step S25, the elapse of the predetermined time elapses and the ringing test is ended. However, the test end instruction signal may be transmitted from the test apparatus 100 to end the ringing test.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of test instruction processing in the test apparatus 100 of FIG. In FIG. 11, when power supply by the battery power supply 140 of the test apparatus 100 is started, initialization and self-diagnosis are executed in step S41. If there is no abnormality, the process proceeds to step S42, and the individual ring test switch 118 is operated individually. It is determined whether or not the ring test operation has been detected.

  When it is determined in step S22 that the individual ring test operation is detected, the process proceeds to step S43, where the insertion connection of the attenuator 145 to the wireless communication unit 130 is controlled to switch to low transmission power, and the individual ring test instruction signal including the test instruction code and the relay prohibition code. Is transmitted with low transmission power.

  If the operation detection of the individual ring test switch 118 is not determined in step S42, the process proceeds to step S44 to determine whether the simultaneous ring test switch 120 is detected. When it is determined in step S44 that the simultaneous ringing test operation is detected, the process proceeds to step S45, where control for disconnecting the attenuator 145 for the wireless communication unit 130 is performed to switch to high transmission power, and a simultaneous ringing test instruction signal that does not include a relay prohibition code is transmitted to high transmission power. Send with.

  In the above-described embodiment, the individual ring test instruction signal and the simultaneous ring test instruction signal by the test apparatus 100 are transmitted by switching the transmission power level, and the communicable distance of the individual ring test instruction signal is limited. Relay transmission is prohibited, but as destination information for specifying the test destination, for example, a destination transmission source code is included in the ringing test instruction signal, an individual ringing test instruction is given, and all destination transmissions that specify all destinations at once The simultaneous ringing test instruction may be performed by including the original code (broadcast code) in the ringing test instruction signal.

  However, when the destination transmission source code is included in the ringing test instruction signal, the correspondence between the transmission source code of the home alarm installed in the dwelling unit (house) where the test is performed and the actual home security device installed Need to know. For example, prior to the individual ringing test, the transmission device code is acquired from the test device by accessing the home alarm device to be tested, and the acquired transmission source code is set as the destination transmission source common code of the ringing test instruction signal and transmitted. Such processing is required.

  In the above embodiment, the ring test instruction signal from the test apparatus is wireless communication using radio waves, but may be infrared communication. In the case of infrared communication, since the ring test instruction signal does not reach the resident alarm installed in another room, when transmitting the individual ring test instruction signal, the infrared transmission power is set to low transmission power. There is no need.
