JPS61274530A - Pocket bell in common use of spring wound type - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To save power consumption of a battery and to extend the operating period by providing a hand-wound spring in addition to the battery and applying the spring energy to a vibrator so as use it as a power source of a pocket bell. CONSTITUTION:A spring-wound common use pocket bell consists of an information processing system 1 consisting of a battery 7, a logic 5 and a display section 6 and a power system 2 comprising a spring 8, a vibrator 9 and a bell 10. The spring 8 consists of a hand-wound spring, and the energy of the spring 8 and the output of the logic 5 driven by the power of the battery 7 of the processing system 1 activate the vibrator. Then the energy of the battery 1 and the spring 8 is used as the drive source of the bell 10 to decrease the power consumption of the battery 1 thereby extending the operating period of the battery 1.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a wireless individual paging system, and more specifically to a pager that takes into consideration extending battery life.

(Prior Art) Conventional pagers rely entirely on their built-in batteries for energy to receive selection signals and emit alert sounds.

The energy is used not only for powering receivers and driving logic circuits, but also for alert sounds, vibration alerts, lighting, etc., which require higher amounts of power.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) The use of energy in conventional pagers is not only applicable to information processing systems that require weak currents, but also to power drive systems that require large currents as mentioned above. Since the power supply is supplied, the disadvantage is that the current consumption of the power supply is large.

Since pagers are carried around, they are required to be small and lightweight.

Electronic circuits are becoming smaller and smaller, but electronic circuitry has not become much smaller and lighter. For this reason, the alarm method, which does not emit a sound and has the advantage of alerting only the person carrying the alarm, has the disadvantage that it cannot be easily used because it consumes a large amount of current.

If vibration alerts are used frequently, the replacement period for the battery will be shorter and the cost of consumables will be higher.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pager having a vibrator and a bell alert generating means, which can suppress the current consumption of its built-in battery and significantly extend its usage period.

(Means for Solving All Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the spring-driven pager according to the present invention is a pager equipped with a bell and a vibrator for alert display, and is equipped with a hand-wound spring in addition to a battery, and It is configured as a power source for a vibrator.

(Function) According to the above structure, the energy of the vibrator, which consumes a large amount of current, can be supplied from the mainspring, so that the current consumption of the built-in battery can be saved, and the object of the present invention can be completely achieved.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a spring-driven pager according to the present invention. This diagram shows information processing system 1
and power system 2. Information processing system 1
is an electronic circuit section, which includes an antenna 3, a receiver 4, and a logic section 5.
, a display section 6, a speaker 11, and the like. The battery 7 supplies power to each of the circuit sections described above. The logic unit 5 analyzes the signal received by the receiver 4 via the antenna 3t, and controls the speaker 11, display unit 6, vibrator 9, and bell 10t. The display section 6 displays characters and displays light emission. The speaker 6 reproduces audio and generates necessary alert sounds other than the bell 10. The power section 2 is a mechanical section and is composed of a vibrator 9, a bell 10, a mainspring 8, and the like.

The mainspring is manually wound and provides all the necessary power for power system 2.

The vibrator 9 receives power from a spring of 1 m and causes the pager itself to vibrate greatly.

The start and stop of vibration is controlled by a control signal from the logic section 5.

Bell 10 receives power from Kusenmai 8 and rings. The start and stop of the ringing is controlled by a control signal from the logic section.

The person carrying the pager winds up the mainspring in advance and selects whether to use a vibrator alert or a bell alert. When the vibrator 9 is set to be triggered by the control of the logic section 5, the vibrator 9 vibrates rapidly when receiving its own selection signal. Further, when the bell 10 is set to be triggered, the bell 1O rings when the selection signal is received.

It is also possible to operate both the vibrator 9 and the bell 10 at the same time. Of course, it is also possible to use battery energy for both.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the pager according to the present invention uses spring energy as well, so it has the effect of significantly saving battery current consumption.

As a result, (1)
You can use the vibration alert regularly without worrying about battery consumption, (2) The energy to raise the mainspring tS is done manually, so there is no cost, (3) In the case of the bell alert, you can use the maximum volume without worrying about battery consumption, etc. It has various advantages.
