[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2023-078472 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When it is not necessary to record events of the fire alarm system, such as during inspection of the fire alarm system or during construction work on the building, it may be necessary to stop printing by the printer to avoid unnecessary printing on printing paper. For this reason, a printer print stop switch is physically provided on the fire receiver. However, the fire receiver is assembled in a configuration according to the purpose of the building in which it is installed and the requests of the building owner, and if a printer is not required, it is possible to configure the fire receiver without a printer. In this case, the number of types of parts to be prepared can be reduced by assembling the fire receiver using parts provided with a print stop switch rather than preparing parts for a fire receiver without a print stop switch. In this case, a fire receiver without a printer would be provided with a print stop switch that is unnecessary for the user.

[0005] Fire receivers are also provided with various switches for devices other than printers. For example, for specific devices such as emergency broadcasts, fire hydrants, and transmission destination devices, switches such as an emergency broadcast cutoff switch, a fire hydrant cutoff switch, and a transmission cutoff switch are physically provided on the panel of the fire receiver. For these switches, the number of types of parts to be prepared can be reduced by assembling the fire receiver using parts with switches, but in a fire receiver configured to not be connected to a corresponding specific device, the switches for the specific devices remain unused.

[0006] An object of the present invention is to realize a fire receiver having no unused switches while reducing the number of types of parts to be prepared in a variety of configurations of fire receivers. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a fire receiver, and the fire receiver comprises a display unit and an installation device connection determination unit. The installation device connection determination unit determines whether or not a specific device is connected, and if it determines that a specific device is connected, displays an input display related to the specific device on the display unit. Effect of the Invention

[0008] In the above invention, by determining the connection of a specific device and automatically displaying an input display on the display unit, it is possible to realize a fire receiver of various configurations that has a common configuration but does not have unused switches.

[Diagram 5]FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the front of the fire control device of the third embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS EXAMPLES

[0010] FIG. 1 shows the front of the fire receiver 1 of the first embodiment. The front panel of the fire receiver 1 has frame-shaped openings at multiple locations, and various devices are fixed to the openings. An information operation panel 13 is fitted into the opening at the center, and a display input unit 131, a switch 133, and the like are provided on the information operation panel 13. The display input unit 131, which is the display unit of the first embodiment, is a touch panel, and can display and input information. A switch display 132 representing a button switch is displayed on the display input unit 131 in FIG. 1. The switch display 132 is an input display that allows touch input, and is displayed as a switch on the touch panel. The switch display 132 is a printer stop button. In addition, a printer 19, which is a specific device, is fitted into the opening at the lower left.

[0011] If the printer 19 is not required for the fire receiving device 1, the printer 19 is not attached during assembly. Instead, a sealing cover (not shown) is fitted into the opening in the lower left part of the front panel.

[0012] 2 shows the internal configuration of the fire receiver 1 of the embodiment 1. The control unit 11 is connected to the storage unit 12, the display input unit 131, and the transmission / reception unit 16. The transmission / reception unit 16 is connected to the connector 18 by a signal line 17. The connector 18 is connected to the power supply unit 14 via the power supply line 15.

[0013] The fire receiver 1 of the first embodiment is provided with a printer 19. As shown in Fig. 2, a power supply line 191 and a signal line 192 of the printer 19 are connected to a connector 193. When the connector 18 is connected to the connector 193, the printer 19 receives power from the power supply unit 14. The printer 19 is also connected to the transmitting / receiving unit 16 to transmit and receive signals.

[0014] On the other hand, when the printer 19 is not attached, the configuration of the printer 19 in Fig. 2 does not exist, and there is also no power supply line 191, signal line 192, or connector 193. And the connector 18 is in a non-connected state.

[0015] <Fire Receiver 1 Start-up Operation> Next, the operation of the fire receiver 1 when it is powered on and started up will be described with reference to Fig. 3. When the fire receiver 1 to which the printer 19 is attached as shown in Fig. 2 is powered on (step S1), a power supply voltage is supplied from the power supply unit 14 to the printer 19 via the connector 18 and the connector 193. In addition, the control unit 11 initializes the printer connection flag stored in the memory unit 12 to 0 (step S2).

[0016] Then, the control unit 11 performs a connection process via the transmission / reception unit 16. When a short time has elapsed since the power was turned on, the control unit 11 transmits a connection signal from the transmission / reception unit 16 (step S3). The connection signal is transmitted to the printer 19 via the signal line 17, the connector 18, the connector 193, and the signal line 192. The printer 19, to which the power supply voltage has been supplied, receives the connection signal and transmits a return signal from the signal line 192 as a connection process. The return signal is sent to the transmission / reception unit 16 via the signal line 192, the connector 193, the connector 18, and the signal line 17. The control unit 11, which is an attachment device connection determination unit, determines whether the printer 19, which is a specific device, is connected based on the presence or absence of the return signal (step S4). If the printer 19 is connected and there is a return signal (YES) as shown in FIG. 2, the control unit 11 sets the printer connection flag stored in the storage unit 12 to 1 (step S5). On the other hand, if the printer 19 is not connected and there is no return signal (NO), the printer connection flag is not changed. If the printer 19 is not connected to the transmitting / receiving unit 16 or if no power supply voltage is being supplied, the printer 19 cannot return a return signal in response to the connection signal.

[0017] Next, the control unit 11 determines whether or not the printer connection flag is 1 (step S6). If the printer connection flag is 1 (YES), the fire control device 1 displays the switch display 132 on the display input unit 131 as shown in FIG. 1 (step S7), and ends the start-up operation.

[0018] <Printer stopped> Switch display 132 is an input display that allows touch input, and when the operator touches switch display 132, control unit 11 sets the print stop flag in memory unit 12 to 1. When the print stop flag is 1, control unit 11 does not send a print signal from transceiver unit 16 to printer 19. As a result, printer 19 is in a print stopped state. When the print stop flag is 0, control unit 11 can send a print signal from transceiver unit 16 to printer 19. As a result, printer 19 is in a printable state.

[0019] The display contents of the display input unit 131 can be switched to other display contents by operating the switch 133 or the like. When the display contents are to return to the original display, the control unit 11 determines whether or not to display the switch display 132 depending on whether or not the printer connection flag stored in the storage unit 12 is 1.

[0020] In a fire receiver 1 in which a printer 19 is not installed, the connector 18 is not connected to the connector 193. Therefore, in the connection process when the fire receiver 1 is turned on, the control unit 11 does not detect a return signal from the printer 19 in response to the connection signal sent to the signal line 17 in step S4 of Fig. 3 via the transceiver unit 16. As a result, step S5 is not passed, and the printer connection flag remains at 0.

[0021] In a fire receiver 1 where the printer connection flag is 0, step S6 in Fig. 3 becomes NO, and the display input unit 131 does not display the switch display 132 shown in Fig. 1. In this manner, in the fire receiver 1, the control unit 11, which is an attachment device connection determination unit, determines whether or not a specific device is connected. Then, if it is determined that a specific device is connected, an input display related to the specific device is displayed on the display input unit 131.

[0022] In the first embodiment, the printer 19 is an internal device of the fire receiver 1 that is attached inside the fire receiver 1 and is a specific device, but the specific device may be an internal device of the fire receiver other than the printer 19. Furthermore, the specific device may be an emergency broadcast, a fire hydrant, a transfer destination device, etc., and an input display related to the specific device may be displayed on the display input unit 131. EXAMPLES

[0023] FIG. 4 shows the front of the fire receiver 2 of the second embodiment. The front panel of the fire receiver 2 has frame-shaped openings at multiple locations, and various devices are fixed to the openings. The information operation panel 21 is fitted into the opening at the center, and the information operation panel 21 is provided with a display unit 211, a switch 212, and the like. The switches 212 provided on the left side of the display unit 211 are physical switches, and an arrow 213 is printed between each switch 212 and the end of the display unit 211. Note that a physical switch is a normal switch that has multiple physical electrical contacts and can electrically connect multiple electrical contacts. In this application, the touch panel of the first embodiment is not a physical switch. In addition, of the four switches 212 arranged vertically on the information operation panel 21, to the right of the top arrow, "printer stop button" is displayed as an input display on the display unit 211. The input display is displayed so that the corresponding physical switch can be identified.

[0024] In the fire receiver 2 of the second embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the printer 22 is fitted into the opening at the lower left. If the printer 22 is not required for the fire receiver 2, the printer 22 is not attached. Instead, a sealing cover (not shown) is fitted into the opening at the lower left of the front panel.

[0025] <Fire Receiver 2 Start-up Operation> When the power is turned on in the fire receiver 2 with the printer 22 attached as shown in Fig. 4, a power supply voltage is supplied from a power supply unit (not shown) to the printer 22 via a connector (not shown) in the same manner as the fire receiver 1 in the first embodiment. Then, a control unit (not shown) which is an attachment device connection determination unit of the fire receiver 2 performs a connection process, and if there is a return signal, it determines that the printer 22, which is a specific device, is connected, and sets the printer connection flag to 1. If the printer 22 is not attached, there is no return signal, and the printer connection flag is 0. The above points are the same as in the first embodiment.

[0026] In the fire receiver 2 of the second embodiment, when the printer connection flag is 1, a "printer stop button" is displayed on a part of the display unit 211. The display such as "printer stop button" is an input display that indicates a function to be achieved by operating the switch 212, which is a physical switch corresponding to the arrow 213. In the fire receiver 2 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, of the four switches 212 arranged vertically on the information operation panel 21, the "printer stop button" is displayed on the display unit 211 to the right of the topmost arrow. The topmost switch 212 is then set in the fire receiver 2 as the switch that can stop the printer 22.

[0027] On the other hand, if the printer 22 is not attached, there is no return signal when the power is turned on, and the printer connection flag is 0, the "Printer Stop Button" is not displayed on the display unit 211. Therefore, unused switches are not displayed. In that case, the topmost switch 212 does not need to be used, but may be used as another switch. In that case, a display indicating that it is another switch is displayed in the corresponding location on the display unit 211.

[0028] <Printer stopped> When the printer connection flag is 1 and the "printer stop button" is displayed on the display unit 211, the initial value of the print stop flag is 0, and the printer 22 is in a printable state. When the top switch 212 is not pressed, the print stop flag is 0, and the printer 22 is in a printable state. On the other hand, when the top switch 212 is pressed, the print stop flag becomes 1, and the printer 22 enters a print stopped state. In the print stopped state, no print signal is sent to the printer 22. When the top switch 212 is pressed again, the print stop flag returns to 0, and the printer 22 enters a printable state.

[0029] In the second embodiment, the printer 22 is an internal device of the fire receiver 2 that is attached inside the fire receiver 2 and is a specific device, but the specific device may be an internal device of the fire receiver other than the printer 22. Furthermore, the specific device may be an emergency broadcast, a fire hydrant, a transfer destination device, etc., and an input display related to the specific device may be displayed on the display unit 211. And, a display such as "printer stop button" is an input display that displays a function by operating the switch 212, which is a physical switch corresponding to the arrow 213. EXAMPLES

[0030] FIG. 5 shows the front of the fire receiver 3 of the third embodiment. The front panel of the fire receiver 3 has frame-shaped openings at multiple locations, and various devices are fixed to the openings. An information operation panel 31 is fitted into the central opening, and the information operation panel 31 is provided with a display unit 311, a display unit 312, a switch 313, a select switch 314, and the like. The select switch 314 is composed of a switch group consisting of a central switch and four switches provided around it on the top, bottom, left, and right. The switch 313 and the select switch 314 are physical switches. In addition, the display unit 311 displays multiple display frames, and a printer stop frame 315 is displayed as one of them. The printer stop frame 315 is an input display related to a specific device.

[0031] In the fire receiver 3 of the third embodiment shown in Fig. 5, a printer 32 is fitted into the opening at the lower left. If the printer 32 is not required for the fire receiver 3, the printer 32 is not attached. Instead, a sealing cover (not shown) is fitted into the opening at the lower left of the front panel.

[0032] <Fire Receiver 3 Start-up Operation> When the power is turned on in the fire receiver 3 with the printer 32 attached as shown in Fig. 5, a power supply voltage is supplied from a power supply unit (not shown) to the printer 32 via a connector (not shown) in the same manner as the fire receivers 1 and 2 in Examples 1 and 2. Then, a control unit (not shown) which is an attachment device connection determination unit of the fire receiver 3 performs a connection process, and if there is a return signal, it determines that the printer 32, which is a specific device, is connected, and sets the printer connection flag to 1. If the printer 32 is not attached, there is no return signal, and the printer connection flag is 0. The above points are the same as in Examples 1 and 2.

[0033] <Printer stopped> As shown in FIG. 5, a plurality of display frames are displayed on the display unit 311. The selected display frame is displayed in inverted. When the printer connection flag is 1, the printer stop frame 315 is displayed as one of the display frames on the display unit 311. The display frames such as the printer stop frame 315 are input displays that display functions that are activated by pressing a specific switch in the inverted state. In FIG. 5, the display frame in the upper center is selected. When it is desired to stop the printer 32, the up, down, left and right switches of the select switch 314 are operated to move the position of the inverted display of the display frame. Then, by pressing the center switch of the select switch 314 with the printer stop frame 315 inverted, the printer stop flag is set to 1. On the other hand, when the printer connection flag is 0, the printer stop frame 315 is not displayed on the display unit 311.

[0034] The printer stop frame 315 and the like, which are input displays, may be displayed on the display unit 312 and the like in the upper left of the information operation panel 31. The printer stop frame 315 and the like, which are input displays, may be in the form of a button as shown in Fig. 5, or may be in the form of a row or column of a list, or may not have a frame.

[0035] In the third embodiment, the printer 32 is an internal device of the fire receiver 3 that is attached inside the fire receiver 3 and is a specific device, but the specific device may be an internal device of the fire receiver other than the printer 32. Furthermore, the specific device may be an emergency broadcast, a fire hydrant, a transfer destination device, or the like, and a display frame relating to the specific device may be displayed on the display unit 311. And the display frame such as the printer stop frame 315 is an input display that displays a function that is activated by pressing a specific switch in an inverted state.
