Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic reporting device that can report home security information to preset contact information using a telephone line.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, home security systems and automatic notification devices that can send information to a desired contact point by the installer over a telephone line have become widely used as devices constituting an HA system. In addition, home security, which handles fire alarms, is legally defined as automatic fire alarm equipment, and the number of installations in apartment complexes and the like is rapidly increasing. In the case of apartment complexes, periodic inspections are required due to their size, and home security function inspections are carried out in a timely manner.

In this case, it is often difficult for an inspector to enter each dwelling unit one by one and operate the home security unit to perform an inspection, due to operational reasons such as the fact that the point test is not available. In many cases, inspection can be performed by operating the

In most cases, an external test switch is connected to the final end of the fire detector (hereinafter referred to as the detector), and by pressing the switch, the detector is actually activated, including checking the wiring continuity of the detector line. 1tJJL, a pseudo alarm similar to Tanodo was issued, and the inspection was confirmed by the alarm sound from the doorbell etc. J, 2
This is called conduction.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Here, there are no particular problems when it comes to just home security, but if you have systemized this home security and are away from home, in case a disaster occurs, it is important to have a contact point that can respond. If an automatic notification device that can report using a telephone line is installed, the first inspection is to press the external test switch 4, which is the same operation as a sensor alarm, so use L5 to activate the automatic notification device. L.

When I went out, the automatic notification device operated even though it was a false alarm for an inspection, and there was a problem where the alarm was erroneous and caused a 1-5 degree error.

The present invention solves the problems of Jyoto such as -, and has a simple 'JA@: configuration when false alarms are issued by inspection at 1:1,
It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic notification device that does not perform the automatic notification function 1. Test detection uses a switch with a two-circuit configuration consisting of an external test switch connected to the final end of the sensor line and another 1-circuit switch that works with it, and detects the switch input of the other circuit. It captures the detection signal of the circuit, and as long as this signal continues, it is judged as a test alert.

Furthermore, the present invention provides a test circuit that issues a test alarm when the test switch is operated, in addition to the external test switch, and captures a test signal from a test detection circuit that detects that the test switch is pressed.

The system is configured so that logical control can be performed to prevent the automatic dialing of the telephone line from entering the test notification time and date notification operation.

Effect With the above configuration, even if the function test of the security system linked to the automatic reporting function is performed using an external test switch outside the door connected to the last @ of the sensor line, the same operation as a sensor alarm is performed. 8, followed by ν], it can be determined that a test alarm is issued, and the telephone line is not caused to perform a reporting operation.

Furthermore, in addition to the external test switch, when the test switch is operated, the test circuit issues a test signal and performs the same operation as a sensor alarm, and at the same time, the test detection circuit detects that the test switch is pressed. Therefore, it is determined that this is a test-based alarm, and no reporting operation is performed on the telephone line.

Example Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic system diagram of an embodiment including an automatic reporting device of the present invention. In Fig. 1, 1 is a telephone security device, 2 is a sensor line, 3 is a sensor, 4 is an external test switch, 5 is a test switch input line, 6 is an automatic notification function line, and 8 is a general subscriber telephone line. It is.

FIG. 2 is a schematic system diagram of another embodiment including the automatic reporting device of the present invention. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 9 denotes an automatic notification device with home security, and the other parts are the same as in FIG. 1. Next, the general operation thereof will be explained. In Fig. 1, when an inspector presses an external test switch 4 connected to the final end of the sensor line 2 and installed outside the dwelling unit, a signal indicating that the sensor 3 has been activated is input to the home security device. The information transfer signal is input to the automatic notification device 6 via the security information transfer input line 7. Here 2
Another switch input of the external test switch 4 constituting the circuit is connected to the automatic notification device 6 via the test switch input line 5.
is input. This test input is logically judged on the automatic notification device 6 side, and the transfer security is determined by the test.
The communication line 8 is controlled not to send a notification dial signal.

In the system diagram shown in Figure 2, the automatic notification system with home security +
The operation of the a-machine 9 during the external test is the same as described above.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an embodiment of the automatic notification device 9 with home security in the system diagram of FIG. 2. 10 is a test switch installed in automatic notification device 9 with home security, 11
12 is a test circuit operated by the test switch IO, 12 is a fire alarm detection circuit operated by the output of the sensor 3, external test switch 4, or test circuit 11, and 13 is a test operated by the external test switch 4 or test switch IO. A detection circuit 14 is a fire alarm detection circuit 12. Test detection circuit 1
15 is a main control circuit into which the notification from 3 is input, and 15 is a circuit connection circuit.

Next, its operation will be explained. With the rapid spread of home security in recent years, it has been positioned as an automatic fire alarm system for residential units, and the Fire and Disaster Management Agency has made it mandatory to apply technical standards to ensure its quality. One of these features is the addition of a test function, which generates a pseudo-alarm using the same action as when a sensor is activated, ensuring quality that it can function reliably without any problems even in the unlikely event of an alarm. is needed for.

Test switch IO is automatic notification device 9 with home security
If you press this test switch 10,
A test circuit 11 made up of, for example, a photocoupler, etc.
Current flows from the IT source Vc to the photodiode of the test circuit 11, and in the same way that the sensor 3 connected to the sensor line 2 senses a fire and turns "on", the transistor of the test circuit 11 turns 1' on. The fire alarm detection circuit 12 detects the alarm and instructs the main control circuit 14 to control the alarm.The main control circuit 14 performs necessary controls such as fire display and fire alarm sound control as a home security function. At the same time, a signal from the test detection circuit 13 is generated horizontally to determine whether or not to automatically notify the sensor 2.
The main control circuit 14 does not issue a test signal when a test signal is issued, but a signal indicating that a test is in progress is issued while the test switch 10 is pressed. It is processed as a test report, and control for reporting, that is, creating a dial signal to the destination, controlling the line connection circuit, and transmitting it to the general subscriber telephone line 8 is not performed.

Generally, when testing from the automatic reporting device itself, it is only when there is someone in the house and the automatic reporting mode is not in most cases.Even if it is in reporting mode, if you cancel the reporting mode setting on the device, There are no particular problems.

However, this configuration is effective if you want to conduct a test from outside while a family member is away and the system is set to reporting mode. In Fig. 3, the external test switch 4 may be an independent switch or may be built into the doorbell handset, but in either case, consideration has been made to prevent children from mischief, and it must be inspected by a professionally qualified person. is to be operated. When the inspector presses the external test switch 4,
As explained in the above-mentioned system diagram, it is clear from the structure that the operation of the pseudo alarm is exactly the same as the operation of the test switch IO.

Note that the automatic reporting device shown in FIG. 1 is also provided with circuits corresponding to the test detection circuit 13 and main control circuit 14 shown in FIG. 3.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, generally apartment buildings, etc.
In the case of home security, where regular inspections are legally required, it would be desirable to be able to check the security from outside without having to enter the home each time, but this was a problem when automatic notifications were linked to alarms in a system. By providing a means to inform the main body that a test is being conducted, it has the advantage that it can function without any trouble.
