Abstract

PURPOSE:To utilize a television receiver as a general one at a normal time and to give an alarm at an abnormal time by obtaining the television receiver in which an alarm provided with an illuminating lamp is incorporated. CONSTITUTION:When the alarm 13 receives an alarm signal from a CATV transmission line 7, an automatic starting circuit works to turn on the power source of the television receiver 1 so as to inform of the occurrence of abnormality by either a video and a sound or by combining both. At the same time, the illuminating lamp 14 of the alarm flickers, a buzzer sounds and the alarm 13 projects about 50mm from the receiver 1, so that it can be pulled out. When a lodger in the lodging is aware of the alarm and pulls out the alarm 13, the buzzer stops sounding and the flickering illuminating lamp becomes the illuminating lamp which is continuously lighted. Thus, the television receiver in which the alarm is incorporated and which is aimed at the lodger, etc., in the lodgings such as a hotel and a home for the aged is obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a television receiver with a built-in alarm for use by guests of lodging facilities such as hotels and nursing homes.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the event of a disaster such as a fire in a facility where a large number of people stay, such as a hotel or inn, an alarm system is activated, an emergency bell or the like is activated, and measures are taken to alert the public to the danger and to evacuate. However, these days, rooms are highly airtight, and the sound of an emergency alarm installed in the hallway or on the ceiling is not necessarily able to wake up a guest who is sound asleep in the room. Additionally, if you wake up and there is no light due to a power outage, it may be difficult to find an evacuation route.

When a disaster like the one described above occurs, this invention notifies guests of the occurrence of an abnormality by sounding an alarm at a location close to the guest, or by means of audio, video, lighting, etc. To propose a television receiver with a built-in alarm capable of surely transmitting the occurrence of an outbreak and having a function of carrying the alarm with a light on even at night to facilitate evacuation.

(Means for solving the problem) This television receiver is a television receiver with a built-in alarm with illumination, and it receives a warning signal transmitted via a CATV transmission line or coaxial cable and turns on the power. The system is designed to notify the occurrence of an abnormality by one or a combination of an alarm, an alarm sound, and a video, and at the same time, the built-in alarm or illumination light can be popped out from the receiver and can be taken out, and the illumination light can be turned on. It is characterized by

C Embodiment] FIG. 1 shows a CATV system for an accommodation facility in which a television receiver 1 according to the present invention is placed in a private room 2. 20CAT
The V system is constructed by connecting an emergency warning transmitter 9 to an existing CATV transmission line 7 that connects a television antenna 3, a booster 4, a front end device 5, and a mixer 6 via a mixing filter 8. Fire alarms 1 are installed throughout the facility.
A heat/smoke detector 11 connected to the 0 is installed, and when an abnormality such as a fire is detected, it is transmitted to the fire alarm 10, sounds the emergency alarm 12, and connects the CATV transmission line 7 from the transmitter 9. A high-frequency alarm signal is sent via the

The main body of the television receiver 1 has the same structure as a normal television receiver, but an alarm device 13 with a rectangular cross section is located at the lower corner and has one end on the front of the receiver, and is built into the front so that it can be pushed out. . This alarm 13 has an illumination light 14 attached to one end located on the front of the receiver 1, and is equipped with an automatic starting circuit (not shown), a buzzer sounding circuit, and a battery inside. It is configured to be detachably connected to a circuit terminal.

When this alarm device 13 receives an alarm signal from the CATV transmission line 7, an automatic activation circuit operates, turns on the power to the television receiver 1, and issues an alarm using one or a combination of video and audio to notify the occurrence of an abnormality.

At the same time, the alarm light 14 flashes, the buzzer sounds,
The alarm device 13 protrudes from the receiver 1 by about 50 mm and can be removed. Alarm 1 when guests of the facility notice the alarm
If you remove 3, the buzzer will stop ringing and the flashing light will be replaced by a continuous light. In addition, when the warning light is removed, the transmission line is turned back at the front of the facility to confirm that it has been removed.

The television receiver of this embodiment has a built-in power supply and can continue to function for a while even after a power outage. Further, in the embodiment, the alarm signal is transmitted via a CATV transmission line, but the system is not limited to CATV, and a coaxial cable that is wired within a facility may also be used.

〔Effect of the invention〕

This television receiver can be used as a regular television when it is normal, and it issues an alarm when something goes wrong. Guests can be reliably informed of the occurrence of an abnormality from a nearby television, and can receive specific instructions and information via audio or video.They can also take out lighting lights and carry them with them to illuminate their steps and ensure safety during evacuation. can be increased.

In addition, this television receiver receives alarm signals via a CAT transmission line or coaxial cable, so CAT
In hotels and the like equipped with the V system or coaxial cable, there are few new transmission lines to be installed, and the television receiver can be shared with general users, reducing the burden on equipment and maintenance management.
