JP-A-2006-148884

  Although not explicitly described in Patent Document 1, it is considered that the above-mentioned automatic initial inspection process is performed every time the power is turned on in the conventional gas alarm device as in Patent Document 1. For example, after the power of the gas alarm device is once turned off due to a power failure or the like (or a reset operation by the user), the automatic initial inspection process is performed again when the gas alarm device is turned on due to power recovery or the like. It is thought to be done. For this reason, in the conventional gas alarm device described in Patent Document 1, the automatic initial inspection process is performed at a timing not intended by the user, and if the gas alarm device is normal, a sound of “normal” is sounded. . As a result, there is a problem that the user may be uncomfortable.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and one object of the present invention is to provide an alarm device capable of suppressing a user from feeling uncomfortable due to notification. It is to provide.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, a configuration of an alarm device 100 according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

(Overall configuration of alarm)
The alarm 100 shown in FIG. 1 is installed, for example, indoors. The alarm 100 is, for example, a household alarm, but may be configured for business use or for both home use and business use. The alarm 100 shown in FIG. 1 is an example of a wall-mounted alarm mounted on an indoor wall. The alarm 100 may be a ceiling-mounted type that can be mounted on an indoor ceiling.

  The alarm 100 includes a detection unit 1, a notification unit 2, an operation unit 3, and a control unit 4 (see FIG. 2). In the examples of FIGS. 1 and 2, the alarm device 100 includes an alarm device main body 10 in which a detection unit 1, a notification unit 2, an operation unit 3, and a control unit 4 are incorporated in a housing.

  The detection unit 1 detects an abnormality in the installation environment. Specifically, the detection unit 1 is configured to detect at least one of gas, fire, and carbon monoxide (CO). Gas and fire abnormality detection is to detect gas leaks and heat (temperature) or smoke generated by the fire. The detection unit 1 may further detect other than gas and fire.

  For example, the sensor 11 of the detection unit 1 is configured by a semiconductor-type gas detection element, and can be specifically configured by a hot-wire semiconductor-type gas sensor. The hot-wire semiconductor gas sensor detects the concentration of the gas to be detected by utilizing the fact that the electric conductivity changes when the gas to be detected is adsorbed on the element surface heated to a predetermined temperature (hundreds of degrees Celsius) by current supply. Is configured. The sensor 11 detects, as the detection target gas, methane contained in the fuel gas as the detection target gas or CO gas generated due to incomplete combustion or the like. The alarm device main body 10 has an opening 10a (see FIG. 1) through which surrounding gas comes into contact with the detection unit 1 in the housing.

  The notification unit 2 is configured to perform notification at least by a notification sound (voice). That is, the notification unit 2 includes the speaker 21 that outputs a notification sound. In the present embodiment, the notifying unit 2 includes, in addition to the speaker 21, an electric lamp 22 that performs notification by lighting or blinking.

  The speaker 21 outputs a predetermined notification sound (voice) under the control of the control unit 4. The alarm device body 10 has an opening 10b (see FIG. 1) for diffusing the sound of the speaker 21 to the outside.

  The electric light 22 is configured to generate light of a predetermined color under the control of the control unit 4. The electric light 22 is constituted by, for example, an LED light source. One or more lamps 22 are provided. In the example of FIG. 1, three lamps 22 are provided in the alarm device main body 10. The three lamps 22 emit light of different colors (for example, red, yellow, and green). For example, the red light 22 gives a notification about gas, the yellow light 22 gives a notification about CO, and the green light 22 gives a notification about a power source, a failure, and other operations of the alarm 100.

  The operation unit 3 is configured to receive an operation input to the alarm device 100. The structure of the operation unit 3 is not particularly limited, and may be various switches such as a push button type, a lever type, and a rotary type, and a touch sensor. In FIG. 1, the operation unit 3 is configured by a push button type switch provided on the alarm device main body 10. The alarm device main body 10 is provided with one operation unit 3. The operation unit 3 receives an input operation (press operation) and outputs an input signal to the control unit 4. The alarm device main body 10 may include a plurality of operation units 3.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the operation unit 3 is configured to receive an operation of an inspection operation. The inspection operation by operating the operation unit 3 is performed at an arbitrary timing by the user. On the other hand, the inspection operation described below when the power of the alarm device 100 is turned on is performed regardless of the user's intention by turning on the power of the alarm device 100. The operation unit 3 is an example of an “inspection operation receiving unit” in the claims.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the control unit 4 performs control processing of each unit included in the alarm device 100. The control unit 4 includes a processor (arithmetic processing device) such as a CPU or a microcomputer. The control unit 4 controls the notification unit 2 to notify the state of the alarm device 100. That is, when the detection result of the detection unit 1 satisfies a preset notification condition, the control unit 4 performs control to cause the notification unit 2 to notify. The notification by the notification unit 2 includes output of a notification sound by the speaker 21 and lighting or blinking of the electric light 22. The control unit 4 has a clock function for measuring the elapsed time.

  In addition, the alarm 100 includes a storage unit 5 and a power supply unit 6. The storage unit 5 stores information necessary for the control process of the control unit 4, such as data on notification conditions for each detection target gas with respect to the detection result and data on voice (message) output by the notification unit 2. The storage unit 5 includes a non-volatile memory and the like, and is configured to rewritably store various information generated by the operation of the alarm 100. The power supply unit 6 supplies electric power necessary for the operation of the control unit 4, the notification unit 2, the detection unit 1, and the storage unit 5. The power supply 6 may be either or both of a battery type and an external power type. In the present embodiment, the power supply unit 6 is of an external power supply type, and receives power supply from an external power supply via a power supply plug connected to an indoor power supply socket.

(Detailed configuration of control unit)
The control unit 4 is configured to perform control to notify the user of information on the operation and the state of the alarm device 100 by outputting (sounding) a sound from the notification unit 2. As will be described later, for example, the alarm 100 notifies the inspection result of the alarm 100.

(Initial operation)
The control unit 4 is configured to control the alarm device main body 10 to perform an initial operation when the power of the alarm device main body 10 is turned on. The power is turned on, for example, when the power plug of the power supply unit 6 is connected to an external power supply. When the power switch is provided in the alarm device main body 10, the power is turned on when the power is input by the power switch.

  The control unit 4 performs an initial operation for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) from when the power of the alarm device main body 10 is turned on.

  The initial operation of the alarm device main body 10 is performed so that the alarm device 100 starts a normal monitoring operation (operation of monitoring whether or not the installation environment satisfies the notification condition based on the detection result of the detection unit 1). Operation. Specifically, the initial operation includes an energizing operation for stabilizing the output of the sensor 11 of the detection unit 1. Since the sensor 11 is heated to a predetermined temperature (several hundred degrees Celsius) by supplying current, a transient state exists immediately after power-on until the output signal of the sensor 11 becomes stable. The control unit 4 supplies power to the sensor 11 as an initial operation for a predetermined period to stabilize the output signal of the sensor 11.

(Inspection operation at power-on)
Further, the initial operation of the alarm device main body 10 includes an inspection operation when the power is turned on. By checking the current and the voltage, the control unit 4 checks the abnormality of the detection unit 1 (the sensor 11), the abnormality of the temperature thermistor (not shown), the abnormality of the notification unit 2 (the speaker 21 and the electric lamp 22), and the operation unit 3 Check for abnormalities. Further, the control unit 4 accesses the storage unit 5 and checks whether there is a data error in the storage unit 5.

  The alarm 100 does not notify the detection of gas, fire, carbon monoxide, or the like for a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) after the power is turned on. The inspection operation at the time of turning on the power is performed during this predetermined period. Then, after a lapse of a predetermined period, the inspection result is notified.

  The inspection result includes, for example, three patterns of “normal”, “failure”, and “expiration date”. In this case, an example of a voice for notifying the inspection result is as follows. In a normal state, a sound "normal" is sounded. At the time of breakdown, a sound is sounded saying "It is breakdown. Please contact your dealer." When the expiration date has expired, the sound "Expiration date. Please contact the store" is sounded. Note that the failure and the expiration date are an example of “in the case of abnormality” in the claims.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the control unit 4 performs an inspection operation at the time of turning on the power, and in the inspection operation at the time of turning on the power, the mode of the notification from the notification unit 2 when it is normal is determined by a device (alarm Control based on the use state information of the device 100). Specifically, the control unit 4 performs control based on the usage period of the alarm device 100 so as not to notify the normality by voice.

  More specifically, when the usage period is equal to or shorter than the predetermined usage period, the control unit 4 controls the notification unit 2 to notify the user that the operation is normal by voice (for example, voice having a relatively large volume). . For example, when the use period of the alarm 100 is 30 days or less, the sound of “normal” is sounded (notified) from the notification unit 2 by a sound having a relatively large volume. Here, the “use period” is the total drive time of the alarm device 100 since the first power-on. That is, it is the time (integrated time) during which the power plug of the power supply unit 6 is connected to the external power supply. The accumulated time is counted by a timer function of the control unit 4 that measures the elapsed time. Further, the control unit 4 starts time accumulation when the power is turned on, and stops the time accumulation when the power supply is stopped. Further, when the power is turned on again, the control unit 4 restarts the time accumulation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the usage period exceeds the predetermined usage period, the control unit 4 controls so as not to notify the normality by voice. For example, if the usage period exceeds 30 days, the normality is not notified by voice (voice is muted). That is, when the power is turned on, if the above integration time is 30 days or less, a sound of “normal” is sounded at a relatively large volume. On the other hand, if the above integration time exceeds 30 days at the time when the power is turned on, it is not notified that it is normal.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 4 controls the mode of notification in the case of an abnormality (in the case of a failure and in the case where the expiration date has expired) so as to be the same regardless of the usage period. For example, when the alarm device 100 is out of order, a relatively loud sound such as "It is out of order. Please contact the store" is sounded (notified) regardless of the usage period of the alarm device 100. Also, when the alarm 100 has expired, a relatively loud sound saying "Expired. Please contact your dealer" is sounded regardless of the period of use of the alarm 100. You.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the notification unit 2 is configured to notify the state based on the lighting state of the electric lamp 22 in addition to the sound. For example, if normal, the green light 22 is turned on. In addition, when there is an abnormality (in the case of failure and the expiration date has expired), the green light 22 blinks. And the control part 4 controls so that the lighting state of the electric light 22 in the normal case may not be changed regardless of the usage period. That is, regardless of the use period of the alarm 100, the green light 22 is turned on when it is normal, and when it is abnormal (in the case of failure and when the expiration date has expired), the green light 22 is turned on. Flashes.

(Inspection operation by operating the operation unit)
In addition to the inspection operation when the power is turned on, the inspection operation is also performed by a user operation. Specifically, after the end of the initial operation, the control unit 4 performs an inspection operation of the alarm device main body 10 in accordance with an operation on the operation unit 3 by the user. The input to the operation unit 3 is a pressing operation on the operation unit 3 of a push button type.

  Here, in the present embodiment, when the inspection operation is received by the operation unit 3, the control unit 4 determines the mode of notification when the operation is normal, and the case when the operation is abnormal (in the case of a failure and the expiration date has expired). The notification mode is controlled so as to be the same regardless of the use state information of the device. Specifically, regardless of the use period of the alarm device 100, if the alarm device is normal, a sound of "normal" is sounded at a relatively large volume. In addition, regardless of the period of use of the alarm 100, if the alarm is out of order, a sound saying "It is out of order. Please contact a dealer" is sounded. If the expiration date has expired irrespective of the period of use of the alarm device 100, a sound saying "Expiration date has expired. Please contact a dealer" is sounded.

(Control processing of inspection operation at power-on)
Next, a control process of an inspection operation of the alarm device 100 when the power is turned on will be described with reference to FIG. This control process is performed by the control unit 4.

  First, in step S1, when the power of the alarm device main body 10 is turned on, an elapsed time since the power is turned on is counted. The elapsed time is accumulated as a use period of the alarm 100.

  Next, in step S2, an inspection operation when the power is turned on is started. That is, the presence / absence of an abnormality in the detection unit 1, the temperature thermistor, the notification unit 2 and the operation unit 3 is checked. When the inspection operation is completed, the process proceeds to step S3.

  In step S3, it is determined whether or not the integrated use period exceeds a predetermined use period (for example, 30 days). In step S3, if the integrated use period is equal to or shorter than the predetermined use period (No), the process proceeds to step S4.

  If the result of the check is normal in step S4, a sound "normal" is sounded. If the result of the inspection is abnormal (failure), a voice is sounded, "It is failure. Please contact your dealer." If the result of the inspection is abnormal (expiration date), the sound "Expiration date. Please contact your dealer" is sounded. When the inspection result is normal, the green light 22 is turned on, and when the inspection result is abnormal, the green light 22 is flashed.

  In step S3, when the integrated use period exceeds the predetermined use period (Yes), the process proceeds to step S5. Here, in the present embodiment, if the result of the inspection is normal in step S5, the sound "normal" is not sounded. That is, no sound is emitted from the alarm 100 (no sound). For example, it is assumed that when alarm device 100 has been used for more than a predetermined usage period, power is cut off due to a power failure or the like. Then, when the power is turned on after the power is restored, the sound of “normal” is not sounded. On the other hand, the notification when the result of the inspection is abnormal is the same as the case where the integrated use period is equal to or shorter than the predetermined use period. That is, if the result of the inspection is abnormal (failure), a voice is sounded, "It is failure. Please contact your dealer." If the result of the inspection is abnormal (expiration date), the sound "Expiration date. Please contact your dealer" is sounded. When the inspection result is normal, the green light 22 is turned on, and when the inspection result is abnormal, the green light 22 flashes. That is, the manner of notification by the green light 22 is the same regardless of whether the integrated usage period exceeds the predetermined usage period.

  As described above, the control processing of the inspection operation when the power is turned on is performed.

(Control processing of the inspection operation by operating the operation unit)
Next, a control process of the inspection operation of the alarm device 100 when the operation unit 3 is operated will be described with reference to FIG. This control process is performed by the control unit 4.

  First, in step S11, an operation (input) of the operation unit 3 by the user is received.

  Next, in step S12, an inspection operation due to the operation of the operation unit 3 is started. That is, the presence / absence of an abnormality in the detection unit 1, the temperature thermistor, the notification unit 2, the operation unit 3, and the like is checked. When the inspection operation has been completed, the process proceeds to step S13.

  If the result of the inspection is normal in step S13, a sound "normal" is sounded. That is, regardless of the usage period, the sound “normal” is sounded. If the result of the inspection is abnormal (failure), a voice is sounded, "It is failure. Please contact your dealer." If the result of the inspection is abnormal (expiration date), the sound "Expiration date. Please contact your dealer" is sounded.

  As described above, the control processing of the inspection operation by operating the operation unit 3 is performed.

(Effect of this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the mode of notification from the notification unit 2 in the normal case is changed based on the usage period, so that the mode of notification is changed so as not to cause discomfort to the user. be able to. Thus, it is possible to suppress the user from feeling uncomfortable due to the notification.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the control unit 4 performs control based on the usage period so as not to notify the normality by voice. Thereby, since the user does not hear the notification sound, it is possible to suppress the user from feeling uncomfortable.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the control unit 4 does not change the lighting state of the electric light 22 in the normal case regardless of the usage period, and notifies the user that the lighting is normal based on the usage period. Is controlled so as not to be notified. Thus, even when the normal state is not notified by voice, the user can confirm whether the alarm device 100 is normal by visually checking the lighting state of the electric light 22.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the control unit 4 controls the mode of notification in the case of abnormality to be the same regardless of the use state information of the device. Thereby, when the alarm device 100 is abnormal, the notification is always performed, so that the alarm device 100 having the abnormality can be prevented from being continuously used.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the inspection operation is received by the operation unit 3, the mode of notification when the inspection is normal and the mode of notification when the inspection is abnormal are determined by the use state information of the device. Control to be the same regardless of Accordingly, when the user intentionally operates the operation unit 3 to perform the inspection operation, the notification of whether the operation is normal or abnormal is always performed. As a result, it can be suppressed that the notification is not performed (or the notification becomes difficult to hear) against the user's will.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the mode of notification in the case of normal operation is changed based on the usage period. Thereby, when the use period considered to be the initial period when the alarm 100 is installed in a house or the like is relatively short, the operation of the alarm 100 continues after the alarm 100 is installed in a house or the like. The mode of notification can be changed between when the use period considered to be performed is relatively long.

[Modification]
It should be understood that the embodiments disclosed this time are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description of the embodiments, and includes all equivalents (modifications) within the scope and meaning equivalent to the claims.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, in the inspection operation at the time of turning on the power, an example in which, when the usage period exceeds a predetermined usage period, the normality is not notified by voice is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. I can't. According to the present invention, in the inspection operation at the time of turning on the power, when the use period exceeds the predetermined use period, the sound notified from the notification unit 2 is made smaller than the sound when the use period is equal to or shorter than the predetermined use period. It may be smaller. That is, the sound “normal” may be sounded at a relatively low volume. Accordingly, the notification sound does not disturb the user, so that it is possible to suppress the user from feeling uncomfortable.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the notification unit 2 notifies the state of the alarm device 100 based on the lighting state of the electric lamp 22 in addition to the sound, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the notification unit 2 may notify the state of the alarm 100 only by voice.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which a failure of the alarm device 100 and an expiration date of the alarm device 100 are notified as the abnormality of the alarm device 100 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as the abnormality of the alarm device 100, an abnormality other than the failure and the expiration date may be notified.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example is described in which the mode of notification from the notification unit 2 in a normal case is changed based on the usage period of the alarm 100, but the present invention is not limited to this. In the present invention, the mode of the notification from the notification unit 2 in the case of normality may be changed based on the number of times of turning on the power. For example, in the inspection operation at the time of turning on the power for the first time (first time), a sound “normal” is sounded. On the other hand, in the inspection operation at the time of turning on the power after the second time, the sound “normal” is not sounded. Further, based on both the usage period and the number of times of turning on the power, the mode of notification in a normal case may be changed. For example, when either one of the condition that the use period exceeds the predetermined use period and the number of times of turning on the power exceeds the predetermined number is satisfied, the notification of the normal case is issued. Aspects may be changed.

  Further, the usage status information of the alarm 100 may be acquired from an external server or an external terminal, and the mode of notification in the case of normality may be changed based on the usage status information. The use state information may be any use state information other than the use period and the number of times the power is turned on.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the example in which the use period is the total drive time of the alarm device 100 from the first power-on is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the usage period may be the total driving time of the alarm 100 when the continuous driving time of the alarm 100 after turning on the power is a certain time or more.
