Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a housing information communication device that transmits information on gas leaks occurring in a housing to a management center via a communication line, and processes or deals with the information at the management center.

[Conventional technology] Information on various types of safety devices such as disaster prevention, crime prevention, and emergency equipment in a residence, as well as various meter readings such as gas, water, and electricity, is sent to a management center via communication lines such as public lines such as telephone lines, private lines, etc. At the same time, the control center controls each of the devices via the communication line, reports to various organizations such as disaster prevention, crime prevention, and emergency services, dispatches personnel, and reports data to designated organizations such as gas companies. Residential information communication devices that can do things like this are beginning to be put into practical use.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] If abnormally excessive flow cooling occurs due to an accident caused by the user's carelessness or intentionality, or a malfunction of the equipment used, the user should be immediately notified and the system should be sent to the control center. A residential information communication device could be considered, but since the number of gas appliances owned and the amount used differs depending on each residence, the places where they could be used were limited.

The purpose of the present invention is to be able to arbitrarily set the gas flow rate according to the number of gas appliances owned and how they are being used, to send abnormality information to a management center in the event of an abnormality, and to send information when the set value is exceeded. The present invention provides a housing information communication device that automatically shuts off gas flow.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the housing information communication device of the present invention includes an automatic gas meter reading device, an electronic control circuit including a storage device,
It is comprised of an information display device that displays information from the automatic meter reading device, a gas cutoff valve that shuts off gas supply, and a management center that transmits the information via a communication line to the residence of the automatic meter reading device. When installed, a set value is arbitrarily set according to the amount of gas used, and when the meter reading of the automatic meter reading device exceeds the set value, the cutoff valve is activated and gas cutoff abnormality information is sent. We adopted a configuration that sends the information to the management center.

[Operations and Effects of the Invention] With the above configuration, the housing information communication device of the present invention has the following operations and effects.

b) The gas flow rate can be set arbitrarily according to the number of gas appliances owned and the amount used, and when the set value is exceeded, the gas flow can be automatically shut off.
