201250632 電阻R1、開關SW3所成之串聯電路。關於加熱器 ,形成有由開關SW1、第1定電壓電路部6、加熱 2b、開關SW2所成之串聯電路。並聯連接該等2 電路,施加藉由第2定電壓電路部7(例如升壓電 致之預定電壓(例如3.3V)。此外,對於加熱器1 施加藉由第1定電壓電路部6(降壓電路)所致之 壓(例如2.0V )。 在此,控制電路部3爲微電腦等,藉由執行預 在其內置記憶體的預定的應用程式,來進行氣體洩 器的控制。以該控制的一部分而言,進行以固定周 氣體感測器2的感測器値的處理。 此係以例如6 0秒周期在1 〇 〇m s左右的期間電 至氣體感測器2。此係每隔60秒,在100ms期間 開關SW1、SW2、SW3全部進行ON控制(由圖示 端子OUT1、OUT2、OUT3進行ON訊號輸出)。 對感測器電阻2 a係供予藉由上述第2定電壓電路 致之上述3.3V電壓,對加熱器電阻2b係供予藉由 1定電壓電路部6所致之上述2.0V電壓,藉此使 測器2進行動作。 控制電路部3係由圖示的輸入端子AD2輸入 測器電阻2a之電阻値變化的電壓値,據此來進行 氣體洩漏判定處理。接著,若判定出有氣體洩漏時 警報部4進行控制且進行警報/通知。 其中,警報部4係具有:屬於蜂鳴器等的警報 電阻2b 器電阻 個串聯 路)所 電阻2b 預定電 先儲存 漏警報 期測定 源供給 將3個 的輸出 由此, 部7所 上述第 氣體感 表示感 預定的 ,係對 聲輸出 201250632 部4a、屬於LED等的啓報顯示部4b、屬於用以對外部進 行訊號輸出的介面等的外部啓報輸出部4c等。控制電路 部3係控制該等,例如發出蜂鳴器聲音、或使LED亮燈 /滅燈,藉此通知氣體洩漏發生。 在此,電池部1係本氣體洩漏普報器的主電源,在本 例中爲3.0V的電壓的電源。將該電源電壓(3.0V)供予 至藉由第2定電壓電路部7進行升壓(亦有降壓的情形) 的控制電路部3或氣體感測器2等。在此假設爲升壓至 3.3V 者。 此外,第1定電壓電路部6係將上述第2定電壓電路 部7的輸出電壓(在此如上所述爲3.3V)降壓至例如 2.0V的降壓電路,降壓後的電壓(2.0V )成爲加熱器電 阻2b的驅動電壓。亦即,關於加熱器電阻2b的驅動,在 藉由第2定電壓電路部7進行升壓之後,藉由第1定電壓 電路部6進行降壓(3.0V —3.3V —2.0V),在第1定電壓 電路部6與第2定電壓電路部7雙重產生損失,效率非常 差,大多使用電池電流。 其中,加熱器電阻2b係消耗電力非常大的構成要素 ,若與加熱器電阻2b相比,控制電路部3或感測器電阻 2a等的消耗電力甚微。 此外,其中,第1定電壓電路部6爲例如降壓截波器 等DC-DC轉換器等。此外,第2定電壓電路部7亦爲例 如升壓截波器或降壓截波器等DC-DC轉換器等。 此外,雖未圖示,亦有不存在第2定電壓電路部7的 201250632 習知例。此時,在上述電池使用末期,若電池電壓降低, 尤其基於加熱器電阻2b的驅動電壓的問題,而無法正常 動作。 亦即,若爲該例之情形,係將電源電壓(電池部1的 電壓3.0V )供予至氣體感測器2或控制電路部3,第1定 電壓電路部6係將該電源電壓(3V)降壓至上述2.0V。 接著,若成爲電池使用末期而電池部1的電壓下降,則第 1定電壓電路部6的輸出電壓亦下降,而使加熱器電阻2b 的驅動電壓降低。 若伴隨著如上所示電池電壓的降低,以致加熱器電阻 2b的驅動電壓降低時,變得無法加熱至上述動作溫度爲 止。因此,變得無法進行上述「計測加熱至動作溫度爲止 的狀態的感測器電阻2a的電阻値」,無法正常計測,因 而亦無法進行正常的氣體洩漏判定。亦即,無法正常動作 〇 相對於此,如第8圖所示之習知例所示,若有第2定 電壓電路部7(升壓截波器),與如上所述沒有升壓截波 器的構成相比,即使在電池使用末期,電池電壓降低,亦 可以較長的時間正常動作。 但是,如前所述,在平常時,因升壓截波器與降壓截 波器而雙重產生損失,而大量使用電池電流,因此結果導 致壽命變短的可能性高。 [專利文獻1 ]日本特開2 0 0 8 -

Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to, for example, fire alarms, gas dampers, and more particularly to battery type alarms. [Prior Art] Conventionally, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, in the example, the type of the battery type naturally reaches the service life if it is used for a long period of time. That is, the battery voltage will decrease at the end of the use period, even when placed as it is. Therefore, in the residential fire alarm system, the voltage of the battery that is regarded as the power source is lowered, and when the voltage of the battery voltage is stopped, the replacement battery is notified (or the warning period comes). Next, in the invention of Patent Document 1, there is proposed a method of setting a battery voltage in which a battery voltage is lowered in a subtle battery voltage that is completed in a period, and a battery type alarm device is also an example. Reporters, etc., are not limited to the above fire alarms. Among them, the type of the leak alarm 'there are many AC100Vs that are obtained by using a plug or the like (of course, it is internally converted into a DC power source for operation), but recently, a battery-type gas leakage alarm diagram of the prior art has been developed. The gas leakage alarm of the example has an electric leakage alarm, etc., and any battery in the case of a fire alarm, the function is stopped after being used as a power source: the constant monitoring is close to the entire function of the functional device, even if it is used. Cheaply monitors, for example, a gas leak alarm, a gas discharge I commercial power supply (DC5V, etc., a battery type circuit diagram. Pool 1, gas -5 - 201250632 sensor 2, control circuit 3, general report 4 The ambient temperature detecting unit 5, the constant voltage circuit unit 6, the fixed circuit circuit unit 7, the three switches SW1, SW2, SW3, and the load resistor R1. Among them, swi, SW2, and SW3 are semiconductor switching such as bipolar transistors. The element is controlled by ON/OFF by the control circuit unit 3. Further, the gas sensor 2 is composed of a sensor resistor 2a and a heater resistor 2b. The road portion 6 is referred to as a first constant voltage circuit portion 6, and the constant voltage circuit portion 7 is referred to as a second constant voltage circuit portion 7, and will be described in terms of easy distinction between the two. First, the use of the above-described gas sensor 2 will be described. The gas is detected by the detector resistor 2a and the heater resistor 2b. For example, the sensor resistor 2a is a high resistance of 100 Ω, and the heater resistor 2b is a low resistance of about 100 Ω. The resistor 2b is heated to the operating temperature (about 400 ° C) of the sensor resistor 2a as the gas detecting element. Therefore, a large current flows through the heater resistor 2b, and the amount of power consumption is large. The control circuit unit 3 measures by the measurement. The resistance 値 of the sensor resistor 2 a heated to the operating temperature as described above can be used to determine the presence or absence of a gas. The 'measurement/determination method is generally well known, and is not particularly described herein. Since the time taken for the operating temperature is affected by the ambient temperature, the processing of determining the driving time of the heater resistor 2b based on the ambient temperature detected by the ambient temperature detecting unit 5 is also performed. In the case of the sensor resistor 2a, a series circuit composed of the sensor resistor 2a, the load -6 - 201250632 resistor R1, and the switch SW3 is formed. The heater is formed with a switch SW1 and a first constant voltage circuit portion. 6. A series circuit formed by heating 2b and switch SW2. The two circuits are connected in parallel and applied by a second constant voltage circuit unit 7 (for example, a predetermined voltage (for example, 3.3 V) for boosting electricity. 1 applies a voltage (for example, 2.0 V) due to the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 (step-down circuit). Here, the control circuit unit 3 is a microcomputer or the like, and performs a predetermined application pre-stored in its internal memory. Program to control the gas vent. With a part of this control, the process of fixing the sensor 値 of the circumferential gas sensor 2 is performed. This is applied to the gas sensor 2 during a period of, for example, 60 seconds in the range of about 1 〇 〇 m s. This is every 60 seconds, and the switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 are all ON-controlled during the 100-ms period (ON signals are output from the terminals OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3 shown). The sensor resistor 2a is supplied with the above-mentioned 3.3V voltage by the second constant voltage circuit, and the heater resistor 2b is supplied with the above-mentioned 2.0V voltage caused by the constant voltage circuit unit 6. This causes the detector 2 to operate. The control circuit unit 3 receives the voltage 値 of the resistance 値 of the detector resistor 2a input from the input terminal AD2 shown in the figure, and performs gas leakage determination processing based thereon. Next, when it is determined that there is a gas leak, the alarm unit 4 performs control and performs an alarm/notification. The alarm unit 4 includes an alarm resistor 2b belonging to a buzzer or the like, and a resistor circuit 2b. The resistor 2b is predetermined to store a leak. The alarm period is measured. The source is supplied with three outputs. The sense output is predetermined, and is a sound output 201250632 part 4a, a report display part 4b belonging to an LED or the like, an external report output unit 4c belonging to an interface for externally outputting a signal, and the like. The control circuit unit 3 controls these, for example, to emit a buzzer sound or to turn the LED on/off, thereby notifying that a gas leak has occurred. Here, the battery unit 1 is a main power source of the gas leak detector, and in this example, a power source of a voltage of 3.0V. The power supply voltage (3.0 V) is supplied to the control circuit unit 3, the gas sensor 2, and the like which are boosted (in the case where the voltage is stepped down) by the second constant voltage circuit unit 7. This is assumed to be boosted to 3.3V. Further, the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 steps down the output voltage of the second constant voltage circuit unit 7 (here, 3.3 V as described above) to a step-down circuit of, for example, 2.0 V, and the voltage after the step-down (2.0). V) becomes the driving voltage of the heater resistor 2b. In other words, after the boosting of the heater resistor 2b is performed by the second constant voltage circuit unit 7, the voltage is reduced by the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 (3.0 V - 3.3 V - 2.0 V). The first constant voltage circuit unit 6 and the second constant voltage circuit unit 7 generate a double loss, and the efficiency is extremely poor, and a battery current is often used. Among them, the heater resistor 2b is a component having a very large power consumption, and the power consumption of the control circuit unit 3 or the sensor resistor 2a is small as compared with the heater resistor 2b. Further, the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 is a DC-DC converter such as a step-down chopper. Further, the second constant voltage circuit unit 7 is also a DC-DC converter such as a boost chopper or a buck chopper. Further, although not shown, there is a conventional example of 201250632 in which the second constant voltage circuit unit 7 does not exist. At this time, at the end of the battery use, if the battery voltage is lowered, in particular, based on the problem of the driving voltage of the heater resistor 2b, the battery cannot operate normally. That is, in the case of this example, the power source voltage (the voltage of the battery unit 1 is 3.0 V) is supplied to the gas sensor 2 or the control circuit unit 3, and the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 supplies the power source voltage ( 3V) step down to the above 2.0V. When the voltage of the battery unit 1 is lowered at the end of the battery use, the output voltage of the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 is also lowered, and the driving voltage of the heater resistor 2b is lowered. When the battery voltage is lowered as described above, the driving voltage of the heater resistor 2b is lowered, and it is impossible to heat up to the above operating temperature. Therefore, the above-described "resistance 値 of the sensor resistance 2a in the state of heating up to the operating temperature" cannot be performed, and the normal measurement cannot be performed, and normal gas leakage determination cannot be performed. That is, the normal operation is not possible, and as shown in the conventional example shown in Fig. 8, if there is the second constant voltage circuit unit 7 (boost chopper), there is no boost chopping as described above. Compared with the configuration of the device, even if the battery voltage is lowered at the end of the battery use, it can operate normally for a long time. However, as described above, in the normal case, since the boost chopper and the step-down chopper are double-discharged, the battery current is used in a large amount, and as a result, the possibility that the life is shortened is high. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2000-2012 No. 2, 2012-2012. [0002] Here, the gas leak detector is usually used for 5 years without maintenance. Therefore, even in the battery type gas leak detector, it is necessary to replace the battery and use it for 5 years. If the number of batteries is sufficient for the device, it can fully satisfy the 5-year service period, but the product cost or product shape/ In terms of product weight and the like, it is also expected to reduce the number of batteries to be loaded, and it is necessary to reduce the power consumption of the machine, and to satisfy the five-year use period with a small number of batteries. In order to meet the market requirements as described above, it is preferable to perform normal operation as long as possible even at the end of the battery use, but as described above, if the power consumption is large in the usual time, the result cannot be changed as the life of the detector. The possibility of being long is extremely high. Among them, the above Patent Document 1 does not consider any requirement relating to the above. In the above-described conventional configuration, for example, when the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 is a step-down chopper or the like, and the control circuit unit 3 performs so-called "chopper control" by a control signal from the output terminal OUT3, The duty ratio of the "chopper control" can be changed according to the voltage drop of the battery unit 1, and the driving voltage of the heater resistor 2b can be maintained at a predetermined threshold (2.0 V), but there is a limit here. For example, when the voltage of the battery unit 1 is less than 2.2 V, the output of the first voltage circuit unit 6 is less than 2.0 V, and the operation cannot be performed normally. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a battery-type detector, in particular, -10-201250632, relating to the structure of the sensor drive, which can reduce the loss of battery consumption, and can extend the time of normal operation at the end of battery use. Therefore, a battery type alarm device or the like which can extend the life of the alarm can be realized. The battery type alarm device of the present invention has the following configuration on the premise of a battery type alarm device having at least a sensor portion and a battery. First, there is a booster circuit unit that boosts the battery voltage. Further, the first power supply path for supplying the battery voltage to the sensor unit; and the first switching means provided on the first power supply path. Further, the present invention includes a second power supply path for supplying a voltage boosted by the booster circuit unit to the sensor unit, and a second switching means provided on the second power supply path. Further, there is provided a control means for performing the ΟΝ / Ο F F control of the first switching means and the second switching means. Next, the control means monitors the battery voltage, and when the battery voltage is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold ,, when the sensor unit is driven, the first switching means is turned ON to control the battery voltage. It is supplied to the aforementioned sensor section. Further, when the battery voltage is less than a predetermined threshold ,, when the sensor unit is driven, the second switching means is controlled to be turned on by the booster circuit unit. The voltage is supplied to the aforementioned sensor section. If the battery voltage is not at the predetermined threshold after the battery is used, the battery voltage will be insufficient with respect to the sensor drive. Therefore, by using the boosted voltage, the battery can be extended at the end of the battery. -11 - 201250632 The time of the work. Further, when the battery is used as described above, it is normal to use the battery voltage to reduce the loss of battery consumption. Therefore, the life of the battery type radiographer can be extended. The battery type detector is, for example, a gas leak detector. In this case, the sensor portion is, for example, a heater resistor in the gas sensor, and a step-down circuit connected in series with the heater resistor, and the step-down circuit is configured to apply the battery voltage or the boosted voltage. The step-down is performed, and the heater resistance is driven by the voltage after the step-down. In the case of this example, by driving the sensor unit by the voltage boosted by the booster circuit unit, the battery voltage is boosted by the booster circuit unit, and the voltage is stepped down by the step-down circuit. Formed as a double loss. On the other hand, as described above, the battery consumption can be reduced by using the battery voltage. [Kappa Mode] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A circuit diagram of the battery type gas leak detector of this example is shown in Fig. 1. Here, this is a configuration example in which the circuit configuration of the conventional gas detector of the present embodiment is easily compared with the circuit diagram of the conventional gas leakage gas detector shown in FIG. example. In addition, it can be applied to other detectors such as fire detectors, not limited to gas leak alarms. However, of course, it is limited to a battery type detector. Among the various components of the circuit of the battery type gas leakage detector 10 of the present example shown in Fig. 1, the components of the circuit of the circuit of the prior art shown in Fig. 8 are substantially the same. The same component symbols are denoted and their description or simplification is omitted. In Fig. 1, the battery unit 1 is the same as the prior art, and the main power source of the gas leak alarm 10 is also a power source of 3 V in this example. Further, the gas sensor 2 has the same configuration as that of the prior art, and has a sensor resistance 2a and a heater resistor 2b. Further, regarding the sensor resistance 2a, the configuration in which the load resistor R1 and the switch SW3 are connected in series is also the same as the prior art. Similarly, the configuration of the series connection switch SW1, the first constant voltage circuit unit 6, and the switch SW2 with respect to the heater resistor 2b is also the same as that of the prior art. In addition, the alarm sound output unit 4a belonging to a buzzer or the like, the alarm display unit 4b belonging to an LED or the like, the alarm unit 4 including an external alarm output unit 4c for interfacing the external signal, and the like The control process of the control circuit unit 11 of the alarm unit 4 can be the same as the prior art. The control processing of the ambient temperature detecting unit 5 and the corresponding ambient temperature may be the same as the conventional technique. However, the control circuit unit 11 performs substantially the same processing as the above-described control circuit unit 3, but also performs the second (a), (b), and fourth (a), (b), and fifth aspects described later. Processing of processes such as (a), (b), 6 (a), (b), and 7 (a) and (b). In this case, the processing of the one or more processes is performed. The control circuit unit 11 is a microcomputer or the like, and a predetermined application stored in the built-in memory in advance is executed by the CPU or the like, thereby achieving substantially the same processing as the above-described conventional technology. Or the processing of the flow of the second diagrams (a), (b), 4 (a), -13-201250632 (b) to 7 (a), (b), and the like. Further, the input/output terminals of the control circuit unit 11 are substantially the same as those of the above-described control circuit unit 3, and the same reference numerals are used, and the conventional output terminal OUT2 and the input terminal AD1 are provided. . The illustrated switch SW4 is turned ON/OFF by the ΟΝ/OFF output from the output terminal OUT2. Further, the input terminal AD 1 is connected to the battery unit 1, and the control circuit unit 11 monitors the voltage (power supply voltage) of the battery unit 1. Here, in the present circuit, the booster circuit unit 12 is provided instead of the second constant voltage circuit unit 7 in the conventional circuit of Fig. 8. However, in the prior art, the booster circuit is also exemplified as the second constant voltage circuit unit 7, and thus can be considered to be the same as the prior art. However, in the conventional technique, the heater resistor 2b is driven by the boosted voltage of the booster circuit unit 12, but in the present circuit, the gas is sensed in the ordinary circuit. The heater resistor 2b of the device 2 supplies the voltage (battery voltage) of the battery unit 1. Next, for example, at the end or the like, the voltage (VDD) boosted by the booster circuit unit 12 is supplied to the heater resistor 2b. The above "supply" does not necessarily mean that the battery voltage or the boost voltage (VDD) is directly applied to the heater resistor 2b as it is. In the example of Fig. 1, the battery voltage or VDD is supplied by the constant voltage circuit unit. 6 is stepped down to become 2.0 V or the like, and the 2.0 V or the like is applied to the heater resistor 2 b. In order to achieve the above, the configuration of the switch SW4 is reset, and the second circuit (a), (b), -14 - .201250632, Fig. 4 (a), (hereinafter), which will be described later, is executed by the control circuit unit 11. b) to the processing of the flowcharts of (a), (b), and the like, that is, 'first, in this circuit', the power supply path to the heater resistor 2b of the gas sensor 2 constitutes: The boosted voltage (VDD) by the booster circuit unit 12 is supplied to the heater resistor 2b through the switch SW1; and the battery voltage of the battery unit 1 is supplied to the heater resistor 2b through the switch SW4. 2 power supply paths for the path. Then, in the same manner as the operation of the control circuit unit 3 described in the prior art, the gas sensing is driven for a predetermined period of time (for example, at the timing shown in FIG. 3) at regular intervals in the control circuit unit 11. When the sensor is driven, the switch SW1 and the switch SW4 are controlled to be ON. The power is supplied to the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 in one of the two paths, and the gas is made substantially 2V. The heater resistor 2b of the sensor 2 is driven. When the switch SW1 and SW4 are turned ON, the switch SW2 is also ON-controlled at the same timing. The ON/OFF control of the switch SW2 is the same as that of the conventional control circuit unit 3. Further, the sensor resistance 2a of the gas sensor 2 is ON/OFF controlled by the switch SW3 in the same manner as the conventional control circuit unit 3, and is not particularly described. Further, among them, as shown, the switches SW1 and SW4 are pnp type transistors, and the switches S W2 and SW3 are npn type transistors. Fig. 2 (a) and (b) are diagrams (1) of the sensor driving flow in the control circuit unit 1 1. Fig. 2(a) shows the start of the sensor drive. Fig. 2(b) shows the flow chart at the end of the drive -15-201250632. As shown in Fig. 3, 'every predetermined sensor drive period T1 (for example, 値 in the range of 20 to 60 seconds; here, set to 60 seconds), that is, driven by a predetermined sensor The gas sensor 2 is driven during a time T2 (here, 100 ms). The processing of Fig. 2(a) is performed for each of the above-described sensor driving periods T1, and is executed immediately before the sensor driving time T2 (100 ms). On the other hand, the processing of Fig. 2(b) is executed immediately after the sensor driving time T2 (100 ms). First, the processing of Fig. 2(b) will be described. The processing waits until the sensor driving of the sensor driving time T2 (100 ms) ends (repeated step S5, NO), and if the sensor driving is finished (step S5, YES), first according to the input terminal The input of AD1 is used to measure the output voltage (battery voltage: power supply voltage) of the battery unit 1 (step S6). Next, it is determined whether or not the battery voltage is less than a predetermined predetermined threshold (predetermined 値) (step S7). However, the predetermined voltage is less than the output voltage (3 V) of the battery unit 1, and a voltage 値 higher than a voltage (for example, 2.2 V) in which the circuit is not normally operated is arbitrarily set in advance. For example, as described in the subject of the prior art, for example, if the voltage of the battery unit 1 is less than 2 · 2 V, the first constant voltage circuit unit 6 is caused even if the "chopper control" is performed. The output becomes unable to maintain 2.0V and becomes unable to operate normally. Then, 'If the output voltage of the battery unit 1 is less than the predetermined threshold 电池 (battery voltage < predetermined 値) (YES in step S7), it is determined that "the battery voltage drop caused by the sensor drive is established" ( Step s 8). From -16 to 201250632, keep the judgment result. For example, 'flags indicating that the battery voltage drop is established/not established' are prepared in advance, and the flag is turned on in accordance with the execution of step S8. Then, the process ends. In addition, the flag is referred to at any time by other processing (not shown), and when the flag is turned on, a warning (notification) of the battery voltage reduction is performed. For example, the control alarm unit 4 performs notification by an audio message indicating a voltage drop or a light-on/off mode of the LED (arbitrarily determined in advance). On the other hand, if the output voltage of the battery unit 1 is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold ( (the battery voltage 2 is predetermined) (NO in step S7), the processing in step S8 is not performed, that is, the present processing is terminated. Therefore, at this time, for example, the above flag system is kept in the OFF state. After the processing of the second drawing (b) is completed, the processing of the second drawing (a) is executed immediately before the start of the next sensor driving time T2, etc. The processing of the second drawing (a) is as described above. Each sensor drives the period T1 to perform the performer. Therefore, it is first determined whether or not the sensor drive period T1 has elapsed since being driven by the previous sensor, that is, whether it has become the sensor drive start timing. When the sensor drive start timing is reached, the determination NO in step S1 is repeated, and if it is the sensor drive start timing (YES in step S1), it is determined whether or not the battery voltage is decreasing (step S2). For example, referring to the above flag, if the flag is ON, it is determined that the battery voltage is decreasing (step S2, YES). » Next, if it is determined that the battery voltage is not decreasing (for example, when the flag is OFF) (step) S2, NO), the heater resistor 2b is driven by the battery unit 1 (power supply voltage) (step S3). That is, the switch SW4 -17-201250632 is ON-controlled during the above-described sensor drive time Τ2 (1 00 ms). In other words, during the period of the sensor driving time T2, the switch SW4 is ON-controlled and the battery resistor 2b is supplied with the battery voltage. In the same manner as the prior art, the switches SW2 and SW3 are ON-controlled during the period of the sensor driving time T2 (100 ms). On the other hand, when it is determined that the battery voltage is decreasing (for example, when the flag is ON) (YES in step S2), the boosted voltage boosted by the booster circuit unit 12 by the power supply voltage is used to cause the heater. The resistor 2b is driven (step S4). That is, the switch SW1 is ON-controlled during the above-described sensor driving time T2 (1 00 ms). In other words, during the period in which the sensor is driven for the time T2, the switch SW1 is turned ON and the boosted voltage VDD is supplied to the heater resistor 2b. Of course, similarly to the conventional techniques, the switches SW2 and SW3 are ON-controlled during the period of the sensor drive time T2 (100 ms). The timing chart of the sensor drive obtained by the processing of the above Fig. 2 is shown in Fig. 3. As shown, the gas sensor 2 is driven with a predetermined sensor drive period T1, which is set to 100 ms here. Next, at the end of the sensor driving time T2, the processing of the above steps S6, S7 is performed. That is, the power supply voltage of the battery unit 1 is appreciated, and it is checked whether the battery voltage 未 has not reached the predetermined threshold. If the battery voltage 値 is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, it is regarded as normal (when the first sensor is driven as shown in Fig. 3), and the processing of step S8 is not performed. -18-201250632 Thus, at the time of the second sensor driving shown in Fig. 3, since the determination of S2 is NO, the sensor is driven by the battery voltage. On the other hand, if the battery voltage 値 is less than the predetermined threshold, the voltage is considered to be lowered (abnormal), and the processing of step S8 (when the second sensor is shown in Fig. 3) is executed. Therefore, in the third-stage driving operation shown in FIG. 3, the determination in step S2 is YES. Therefore, the sensor is driven by the output voltage (boost voltage VDD) of the boosting unit 12, and step S4 is performed. At the time of the processing, the processing of the diagram (b) may not be performed thereafter. Thereby, the flag is maintained in the ON state, and step S2 is determined to be YES, and the processing of step S4 is continuously performed. If the battery is used at the end of the pool and the battery voltage is reduced by a certain level or more, the sensor drive is switched to the boost voltage (VDD), and then it is stopped until it is stopped, and is always formed by the boost voltage (VDD). The device is driven. That is, unnecessary determination processing (second processing) is not performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and even if the processing of step S4 is performed, the processing of Fig. 2(b) can be performed thereafter. Since there is a possibility that the battery voltage temporarily drops abnormally due to some reason, it is also possible to avoid the case where the sensor is driven by the boosted voltage ( ) by the erroneous switching before the end period. However, at this time (set to Modification 1), it is preferable to slightly change the second processing. Fig. 4 (a) and (b) are flowcharts showing the drive of the control circuit unit 1 in the first modification. Figure 4 (a) is the first step of the first step of the sensor drive circuit when the sensor drive starts. The power is sensed by the function sense map (b). 4 Figure-19- 201250632 (b) Flow chart at the end of sensor drive. Here, in the fourth (a) and (b), the same steps as those in the second (a) and (b) are denoted by the same step numbers, and the description thereof will be omitted. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the processing of Fig. 4(a) is the same as that of Fig. 2(a), and the description thereof is omitted. Further, as shown in the figure, the processing of Fig. 4(b) is substantially the same as that of Fig. 2(b) except that the processing of step S9 is added. In other words, in the case of FIG. 2(b), once the process of step S8 is executed, even if the determination of NO is made in step S7, the flag is not turned off, and as a result, the determination of step S2 is performed. The continuation is YES (there is no need to perform the processing of Fig. 2(b). Therefore, as described above, the processing of Fig. 2(b) may not be performed. Therefore, although not shown, steps may be performed, for example. After the processing of S 4 is instantaneous, the processing of step S 1 1 described later is performed). Thereby, the processing load is reduced, so that the power consumption can be suppressed, and the battery life can be prolonged. On the other hand, in the fourth figure (b), the process of step S9 is executed when the determination in step S7 is NO. That is, it is determined that "the battery voltage drop by the sensor drive is not established" (step S9). Then, the determination result is maintained. For example, the flag indicating that the battery voltage drop is established/not established is turned off. According to the processing of FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b), if the battery voltage temporarily drops abnormally for some reason, the voltage reduction step S7 is YES, and step S8 is executed, whereby step S2 becomes YES. The sensor drive is performed by the boost voltage (VDD). In other words, when the sensor unit (including the heater resistor 2b) is driven, the voltage (VDD) boosted by the booster circuit unit 丨2 is supplied by the ON-control -20-201250632 system. It is supplied to the sensor unit (heater resistor 2b, etc.). However, when the battery voltage returns to the normal state due to a temporary abnormality, step S7 is NO and step S9 (flag OFF or the like) is executed. Thereby, step S2 becomes NO' and returns to the sensor driving state (normal state) by the battery voltage. The normal state means that the switch SW4 is ON-controlled when the sensor section (including the heater resistor 2b) is driven, whereby the battery voltage is supplied to the state of the sensor section (heater resistor 2b, etc.). Next, if it is the final stage, the state of step S8 is executed by continuing step S7 to YES. Therefore, the step S2 is continued to the YES state, and thus the state of the sensor driving by the boosted voltage (VDD) is continuously performed, and substantially does not return to the sensor driving state by the battery voltage. . In the battery type alarm device, there is a possibility that the battery voltage temporarily drops abnormally for some reason. However, according to the configuration of the first modification, even if the abnormality is lowered, switching occurs before the end of the period. In the case of the sensor drive caused by the boost voltage (VDD), it is also temporarily terminated, and returns to the sensor drive state by the battery voltage. The first modification is a modification 1 which is one of the modifications. Other variations are also described below. First, the modification 2 will be described below. In the first modification described above, although it is temporary, even if it is before the end of -21 - 201250632, there is a case where the sensor is driven by the boosted voltage (VDD). On the other hand, in the second modification, even in the case where the battery voltage temporarily deteriorates abnormally for some reason, it is possible to avoid erroneous switching to the sensing by the boosted voltage (VDD) before the end period. Driven case. Fig. 5 (a) and (b) are flowcharts showing the sensor driving in the control circuit unit 1 1 of the second modification. Fig. 5(a) shows the flow chart at the end of the sensor drive when the sensor drive starts, and Fig. 5(b) shows the end of the sensor drive. Here, in the fifth embodiment (a) and (b), the same steps as those in the second embodiment (a) and (b) are denoted by the same step numbers, and the description thereof will be omitted. Therefore, as shown in the figure, the processing of Fig. 5(a) is the same as that of Fig. 2(a), and the description thereof is omitted. Further, as shown in the figure, the processing of Fig. 5(b) is substantially the same as that of Fig. 2(b), except that the processing of step S10 is added, that is, in the processing of Fig. 5(b). The process of step S 10 is added between step S7 and step S8. Even in the case where YES in step S7, the processing of step S8 is not immediately performed, but the processing of step S8 is performed only in the case of YES in the determination of step S10. In step S10, it is determined whether or not the determination of YES in step S7 is continuously set a predetermined number of times (N times; if N is an integer of 2 or more, any number may be arbitrarily determined) (step S10) »

Next, in step S10, the count 値 is compared with the predetermined number of times N to determine whether it is "counting 预定 ^ predetermined number of times N -22 - 201250632 and then 'continuously predetermined plural times or more and step S7 is YES (for example, " When the count 値2 is a predetermined number of times N", the determination of step S10 is YES, and the processing of step S8 is executed. If it is not at this time (NO in step S10), the processing of step S8 is not executed, that is, the present processing is ended. In this processing, since there is no processing for turning off the flag, once the flag is turned ON in step S8, the sensor driving by the boosted voltage (VDD) is always performed thereafter. If the step S7 is YES based on the above predetermined plurality of times or more, it is regarded as the end of the battery use. In this case, it is also possible to perform the processing of Fig. 5(b) (or even the processing of Fig. 5(a)) once the flag is turned ON. Therefore, although not shown, the processing of step S11 described later may be executed immediately after the processing of step S4, for example. By reducing the processing load, the power consumption can be suppressed, and the battery life can be prolonged. Next, a modification 3 will be described below. The third modification corresponds to the above-mentioned "when the process of step S4 is executed (in other words, when the battery voltage is detected to be less than the predetermined time), and then the process of FIG. 2(b) is not executed. Fig. 6 (a) and (b) are flowcharts showing the sensor driving in the control circuit unit 1 1 of the third modification. Fig. 6(a) shows the flow chart at the end of the sensor drive when the sensor drive starts, and Fig. 6(b) shows the end of the sensor drive. Here, in FIGS. 6(a) and 6(b), the same steps as those in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are denoted by the same step numbers, and the description thereof will be omitted. As shown in Fig. -23-201250632, the processing of Fig. 6(b) is the same as that of Fig. 2(b), and the description thereof is omitted. Further, as shown in the figure, the processing of Fig. 6(a) is substantially the same as that of Fig. 2(i), except that the processing of step S11 is added. That is, in Fig. 6(a), the heater resistance 2b is driven by the boost voltage VDD by the determination of the battery voltage drop (flag ON) (step S2, YES) (step S4) Thereafter, the process of moving to the predetermined mode is additionally performed (step S1 1 ). This predetermined mode is, for example, the above-described mode in which "the processing of Fig. 2 (b) is not performed" (the battery voltage is not monitored). By this, the flag is maintained in the ON state, and the determination in the step S2 is always YES, and the processing of the step S4 is continuously performed. Then, since the processing of FIG. 2(b) is not performed, the processing load is reduced. However, it is not limited to this example. In the predetermined mode described above, for example, the processing of "the second drawing (a) and (b) is not performed in advance, and the driving system of the heater resistor 2b is often performed by the boosting voltage (the sensor is often driven when the sensor is driven) The mode in which SW1 is ON) may be switched to the predetermined mode when step S4 is executed. At this time, not only the processing of FIG. 2(a) but also the processing of FIG. 2(a) is not performed, so that the processing load is further reduced. However, in the above-described Modification 3, for example, the battery voltage transient abnormality may not be lowered for some reasons, and when the abnormality as described above occurs, the boost voltage is applied even after the abnormal state is released. The heater resistor 2b is driven. In contrast to this, it is considered that the processing of the above-described step S10 is added. However, in the following Modification 4, the two types of thresholds using the first threshold and the second threshold are used. The decision is made to correspond. -24 - 201250632 "1st threshold"; the output voltage (battery voltage; 3V) of the battery unit 1 is lower than the voltage (for example, 2.2V) that is not operating normally in this circuit. And any setter. "2nd threshold"; if the voltage is lower than the voltage (for example, 2.2V) that does not operate normally in this circuit, it is arbitrarily set, for example, it is used as a display battery. The final state. Here, the first threshold 値 may be regarded as equivalent to the "predetermined 値" used in the determination of the above-described step S7, but is not limited to this example. Fig. 7 (a) and (b) are flowcharts showing the sensor driving in the control circuit unit 1 1 of the fourth modification. Fig. 7(a) shows the flow chart when the sensor drive is started, and Fig. 7(b) is the flow chart at the end of the sensor drive. Here, in the seventh (a) and (b), the same steps as those in the second (a) and (b) are denoted by the same step numbers, and the description thereof will be omitted. The processing of Fig. 7(a) as shown in Fig. 7 is the processing of steps S23 and S24 in the processing of Fig. 2(a). Further, as shown in the figure, the processing of Fig. 7(b) is added to step S20 instead of step S7 of Fig. 2(b), and the processing of steps S21 and S22 is additionally added. First, Fig. 7(b) will be explained. In the seventh diagram (b), if the determination in the above step S5 is YES, the step S6 is executed, and then the determination of "battery voltage < i th threshold" (step S20)' is performed instead of the above. 2 The battery voltage of the factory in step S7 of Figure (b) < The judgment. However, as described above, the first threshold 値 can also be regarded as equivalent to the above-mentioned "predetermined defect", and in this case, the step s 20 can be substantially regarded as the same as step S7. -25- 201250632 Then, if the battery voltage is less than the first threshold (YES in step S20), the processing in the above step S8 is performed, and then the determination of "battery voltage < second threshold?" is performed ( Step S 2 1 ). If the battery voltage is equal to or greater than the second threshold (step S 2 1, Ν Ο ), the processing is directly terminated. On the other hand, when the battery voltage is less than the second threshold (YES in step S2i1), it is determined that "the final state is established" (step S22). Specifically, the process of the step S22 is performed by, for example, turning on a flag indicating that the "final state is established" (referred to as a second flag). However, the present invention is not limited to this example. Next, Fig. 7(a) will be described. When the process of Fig. 7(a) is executed after the determination in the above step S20 is YES, the process of the above step S2 is YES, and the process of the above step S4 is performed. Next, the processing of step S4 is continued to determine whether or not it is the final state (step S23). For example, referring to the second flag, if the second flag is ON, it is determined to be the final state, and if the second flag is OFF, it is determined that the second flag is not the final state. If it is determined that it is not in the final state (NO in step S23), the processing is directly ended. If it is determined to be the final state (YES in step S23), the mode is shifted to the predetermined mode (step S24). Here, the "predetermined mode" may be substantially the same as, for example, the "predetermined mode" in the above step S1 1. That is, the "predetermined mode" may be, for example, "the processing of FIG. 7(b) is not performed" Mode of (not monitoring battery voltage). Alternatively, the "predetermined mode" may be "the processing of Fig. 7 (a), (b) is not performed, and the driving system of the heater resistor 2b is often performed by the boosted voltage (SW1 is always turned ON during driving) Mode." -26-201250632 However, although not shown in Fig. 7(b), if the determination in step S20 is NO, the processing in the above step S9 can be executed in substantially the same manner as in Fig. 4(b). Therefore, even if, for example, the temporary abnormality of the battery voltage is lowered and the battery voltage is less than the first threshold, the battery voltage is not lower than the second threshold, and even if it is determined that "the battery voltage is lowered" In the state in which the boosted voltage is used, the battery voltage returns to the normal state, that is, returns to the state in which the battery voltage is used (normal state). As described above, in the fourth modification, by using: The first threshold 切换 used for switching between the battery voltage and the boost voltage, and the second threshold 使用 used to determine whether or not the battery is used at the end of the battery, and it is determined that the battery is used at the end, then it becomes unmonitored after that. The state of the battery voltage. Thereby, the processing load is reduced, so that the power consumption can be suppressed and the time (battery life) of the normal operation can be prolonged. In addition, there is a case where the battery voltage temporarily drops abnormally for some reason. That is, regardless of the end period, it is possible to avoid the case where the heater resistor 2b is driven by the boost voltage after the end. Even if the heater resistor 2b is temporarily driven by the boost voltage, it is possible to return to the state (normal state) in which the heater resistor 2b is driven by the battery voltage. Thereby, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the normal operation time is shortened. 〇 Wherein, of course, when the voltage is driven by the boost voltage, the power consumption is larger than when the battery voltage is driven. In addition, 'the above-mentioned 'driving the heater resistor 2b by the boosting voltage' is equivalent to supplying the boosted voltage to the sensing when the sensor section (including the heater resistor 2b) is driven -27-201250632. Device (heater resistor 2b, etc.). Similarly, the above "driving the heater resistor 2b by the battery voltage" corresponds to supplying the battery voltage to the sensor portion (the heater resistor 2b) when the sensor portion (including the heater resistor 2b) is driven. Wait). As described above, in the present method, in the configuration of Fig. 1 described above, Fig. 2(a), (b), Fig. 4(a), (b) to Fig. 7(a), (b) are performed. Any processing, whereby the driving of the gas sensor 2, in normal times, can reduce the loss of battery consumption by the battery voltage supplied to the battery unit 1, and at the end of the battery use, the boosting circuit is provided. The boost voltage is switched in such a way as to extend the normal operation time. In this way, the longevity of the smuggler can be achieved. In addition, it helps to satisfy the above requirements, that is, as described in the subject of the prior art, with regard to the battery type sniffer, it is stipulated that the battery replacement is not allowed (so the repeller itself is replaced if it is delivered) It is necessary to carry out normal operations for more than 5 years, and to achieve long S life by this method is helpful to fully satisfy the regulations. The configuration of the first drawing and the processing of the second drawing (a) and (b) are merely examples, and are not limited to this example. In addition, the application of this method may also be, for example, a fire detector, and is not limited to a gas leak detector. With the battery type alarm device or the like according to the present invention, with respect to the battery type sniffer, especially regarding the configuration of the sensor drive, the loss of battery consumption can be reduced, and at the end of the battery use, the time for normal operation can be prolonged. Therefore, the longevity of the launcher can be realized. [Simple description of the drawing] -28- 201250632 Fig. 1 is a circuit diagram of the battery type gas leakage alarm of this example.
