IoT based portable carbon monoxide multifunction alarm combines 100.

The alarm system of the present invention implements simultaneous connection with a user terminal and a private communication network, so that even if the connection with the user terminal is released, the alarm can be prevented by automatically reporting to a designated administrator and a nearby rescue agency. .

The terminal module 10 is a case in which the communication module 20, the sensing module 30, and the control module 40 are built in as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the display 11, the button 12, and the speaker as shown in FIG. 3. 13 and a battery 14.

The display 11 displays the alarm information as an image by letters or numbers, and the button 12 is constituted by a physical key or a touch key to guide the alarm setting to be operated. The speaker 13 outputs an alarm sound or an operation sound, and the alarm light 22 outputs green, a play state, an orange color, a light red color and a red color according to each alarm level, and the battery 14 is rechargeable lithium. The polymer supplies power for operation.

Here, the terminal module 10 may be any one or more of the male and female charging terminal 15, the USB type charging terminal 16, the magnetic resonance type or the magnetic induction type wireless charging pad 17 which charges the battery 14 from the outside. It may be configured as. The male and female type charging terminal 15 is formed of a pin through which a positive power flows and a cylinder through which a negative power flows while surrounding the outer surface of the pin and connected to the DC adapter.

The USB charging terminal 16 may be connected to a USB charger to charge the battery 14 and transmit and receive data to perform upgrades or troubleshooting. The USB charging terminal 16 may also supply the power of the battery 14 to charge the user terminal 1 or other terminal.

The wireless charging pad 17 charges the battery 14 by converting radio waves generated from the wireless charger or the user terminal 1 into power. Of course, it is also possible to provide a transmitter with a receiver to convert the power of the battery 14 into a radio wave to supply to an external device.

In this case, the terminal module 10 may be further configured to be attached to the user terminal 1 or the bag and the garment can be attached to the detachable ring 18 or the strap 19 wearable to the user's body as shown in Figure 4b. . Here, the connecting ring 18 may be configured to be worn on the finger, the strap 19 may be configured to be worn on the arm or leg and waist or neck in addition to the wrist.

Therefore, the alarm device 100 of the present invention can be configured in the installation type or ring or watch and pendant form is fixed to the thing. In any case, those skilled in the art can configure a variety of forms according to the needs of the user.

The communication module 20 is embedded in the terminal module 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 to transmit and receive information to and from the outside through a radio signal. As shown in FIG. 3, the communication module 20 includes a short distance modem 21 and a remote modem 25. . The near field modem 21 is always connected to the user terminal 1 to transmit and receive information, and the remote modem 25 transmits and receives information to and from the administrator terminal 2 and the rescue organization 3 designated by the user.

Here, the short-range modem 21 is composed of any one of a Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Wi-Fi modem that is automatically connected to the user terminal 1, the remote modem 25 is given a 012 number M2M modem (machine to machine) that can be connected to a private communication network (machine to machine) It is composed of

The detection module 30 collects information necessary for the alarm, which is embedded in the terminal module 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and is composed of a gas detector 31 and a position tracker 35 as shown in FIG. 3. The gas detector 31 measures the carbon monoxide concentration from the surroundings in real time, and the position tracker 35 receives the position information and the satellite signal of the user terminal 1 to detect the current position in real time.

Here, the gas detector 31 detects a gas using the principle that the electrical resistance of platinum is increased by the heat of combustion generated when the platinum catalyst reacts with and burns the gas, and the electrical resistance decreases as the gas contacts the semiconductor. The principle can be used to configure any of the gases.

The location tracker 35 requests location information to the user terminal 1 through the short range modem 21 to detect the current location of the terminal module 10 in real time, and according to the connection strength with the short range modem 21. Detect the distance away from the terminal (1).

That is, the location tracker 35 receives the GPS satellite signal in real time and compares the location information of the user terminal 1 to correct the current location. If the reception of the requested location information from the user terminal 1 fails to replace the GPS satellite signal to determine the current position in real time.

The control module 40 is embedded in the terminal module 10 to store and analyze the carbon monoxide concentration measured by the gas detector 31 and output an alarm signal. That is, the measured carbon monoxide concentration outputs a real time alarm signal to the display 11, the speaker 13, and the user terminal 1, and according to the connection state of the user terminal 1, the manager terminal 2 and a nearby rescue agency ( 3) Output alarm signal.

The control module 40 outputs an alarm signal to the display 11, the speaker 13, and the user terminal 1 step by step when the measured carbon monoxide concentration is 0.01 to 0.03%, and when the carbon monoxide concentration reaches 0.03%. (1) outputs a response type alarm signal, and when the carbon monoxide concentration reaches 0.04%, it outputs the rescue characters and location information to the administrator terminal 2 and the neighboring rescue engine 3 designated by the user.

In other words, when looking at the poisoning according to the carbon monoxide concentration, the front headache occurs after 1 to 2 hours at 0.04%, and the back headache after 2.5 to 3.5 hours, and headache, nausea and vomiting occur at 20 minutes in 0.16%. Death in two hours. Furthermore, 0.32% cause death in 30 minutes and 1.28% in 1 to 3 minutes.

Therefore, the control module 40 outputs 50-60 decibel alarm sounds and alarm lights with a warning letter in one step when the carbon monoxide concentration is continuously measured for 10 seconds to 60 seconds at 0.015 to 0.02%. If the user does not evacuate or take any action, the carbon monoxide concentration is 0.02 ~ 0.025%, and if the measurement is continued for 5 seconds to 30 seconds, the second stage outputs 70 ~ 80 decibel alarm sound and alarm lamp with text. Similarly, when the carbon monoxide concentration is 0.025 to 0.03% for 3 to 5 seconds of continuous measurement, it outputs 3 to 90 to 100 decibel alarm sounds and alarms with text in 3 steps.

At this time, when carbon monoxide concentration is measured at 0.031% or more, 100 ~ 110 decibel alarm sounds and alarms are output along with letters or numbers requested by the user, and when the request letter is not received for 30 seconds after output, the user specifies The structure character and the location information are output to the manager terminal 2.

That is, even if the carbon monoxide concentration is measured to be at least 0.031% even though the carbon monoxide concentration outputs an alarm signal in the first to third orders at a risk level of 0.031%, the user may predict that the alarm signal is not recognized.

However, considering the various situations of users or the case where the level of carbon monoxide concentration is rapidly increased, it is necessary to finally confirm the process to prevent indiscriminate expansion reporting.

If the request text is not received within the set time, the administrator (spouse, relative, acquaintance, friend, etc.) designated in advance causes the terminal 2 to output the location information together with the rescuer to take action.

On the other hand, when the concentration of carbon monoxide is 0.01 ~ 0.03%, and the user terminal 1 is disconnected, it switches to the administrator terminal 2 designated by the user and outputs an alarm signal with location information step by step, and the carbon monoxide concentration is 0.031. When measured by more than%, the rescue characters and location information are output to the nearby rescue agency (3).

The control module 40 may output 50 to 110 decibel alarm sound to the speaker 13 when the user terminal 1 is disconnected according to the user's setting. Accordingly, the alarm signal of the control module 40 can be recognized in real time.

In another embodiment of the present invention, as the carbon monoxide concentration is analyzed, a prediction system for predicting the risk of the carbon monoxide concentration in advance and guiding the user may be further added. After detecting the diffusion time and the range of the carbon monoxide concentration in the detection module 30, the user may predict the state about 1 minute before reaching the danger level and about 1 minute after reaching the danger level in advance.

For example, "There is a possibility of entering a very dangerous stage after about 1 minute, so please evacuate as soon as possible." "It was dangerous but currently appears to be in good condition. Please check the carbon monoxide concentration in sufficient ventilation and real time." The user can predict the carbon monoxide concentration and guide in real time.

In addition, in consideration of hearing impaired people who do not hear the sound can be output at the same time as the alarm sound and the alarm light to be able to evacuate to safety quickly, the light intensity is 30 so that the emergency light can be distinguished from a distance Warning lights above WT are preferred.

At this time, depending on the value of the carbon monoxide concentration, it is possible to adjust the brightness and the time to turn on and off the alarm light output. For example, the alarm lamp in an emergency situation may control the blinking time to be shortened to indicate an emergency situation.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the electric shock means 23 may be further included inside the terminal module 10. The electric shock means 23, when the carbon monoxide concentration in the sensing module 30 is 0.031% or more, when the user loses consciousness due to paralysis of the central nervous system, interlocked with the control module 40 and one side of the lightning rod (not shown) is a terminal module. (10) The electric shock means 23 formed to protrude to the outside generates a spark by the electrical coupling to the lightning rod by applying a periodic electric shock to the user's head, chest, belly, hands, feet, etc. Can be used as a means to awaken consciousness.

In addition, as shown in Figure 3, the terminal module 10 may further include a vibration generating means (24). When the vibration generating means 24 does not recognize a warning sound or a warning light, the vibration generating means 24 generates the vibration by the vibration generating means 24, thereby informing the user of the danger signal using the tactile sense.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, since the carbon monoxide has a colorless and odorless characteristic, a separate motor 26, a fan 27 connected to the motor 26, and one side of the fan 27 are connected to the terminal module 10. If the fragrance capsule 28 is additionally installed to measure carbon monoxide concentration of 0.015% or more, the motor 26 is operated and the motor 26 rotates the fan 27, and the fragrance contained in the fragrance capsule 28 is included. Can be used to alert users.

The fragrance capsule 28 is beneficial to the user by spreading a beneficial but inverse aroma, such as peppermint, coriander, garlic, pepper, onions, so there is an effect that can inform the user of the danger signal by using the sense of smell.

In addition, the control module 40 may be configured as an application that can be installed in the user terminal 1 as a firmware (program). In this case, the control module 40 performs only a function of controlling the operation of the terminal module 10, the communication module 20, and the sensing module 30, and outputs an alarm signal and the manager terminal 2 and the rescue engine 3. ) May be implemented in the user terminal 1.

As such, the present invention can be implemented in a compact size that is easy to carry overall, and can improve the user's satisfaction while simultaneously connecting the user terminal and the private communication network so that even if the user terminal is disconnected from the user, By automatically reporting to rescue agencies, safety accidents can be prevented.
