Abstract

To provide a simple abnormality reporting device that uses an emergency communication function of a digital simple radio 1 to notify a remote location, regardless of the fact that notification cannot be performed when a telephone line or an internet line is disconnected, even if a serious problem is detected due to a cause such as a power outage or a failure of equipment.SOLUTION: The simple abnormality reporting device receives, by a notification control device 3, a signal detected by an abnormality detector 6 indicating that a serious problem occurs due to a cause such as a power outage or a failure of equipment; drives a solenoid 2 to press an emergency contact switch 5 of a digital simple radio 1; and transmits to a remote location that the abnormality occurs.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is a simple abnormality reporting device that uses the emergency contact function of a digital simplex radio 1 to remotely notify relevant parties by detecting an abnormality caused by a power outage or breakdown, etc., with a signal. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, there are power outage reporting devices that use telephone lines and monitoring devices that use the Internet, but if the communication lines are cut off, reporting becomes impossible, and even if an abnormality caused by equipment failure or other reasons is detected, it cannot be reported to a remote location, and delays in initial response can result in significant damage. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 9-200381

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2003-123172 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In JP-A-9-200381, an abnormal signal is analyzed by a remote reporting device, which is connected to a telephone line via a modem and reported, but if the telephone line network is cut off, it becomes impossible to report the abnormality.

[0005] In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-123172, an emergency information is analyzed within the emergency notification device, and the emergency information is transmitted wirelessly to a center, and this system is large-scale to construct.

[0006] For example, at a freshwater fish farm located some distance from the manager's permanent location, groundwater is pumped up with an electric pump or water is taken from the river to maintain water flow in the fish ponds, thereby ensuring sufficient oxygen levels in the water and allowing many fish to be raised.

[0007] If this water flow were to decrease, there would be a lack of oxygen in the water, causing mass deaths of fish and significant damage.

[0008] A device (abnormality detector 6) is installed to monitor this water flow, and when it detects that the water flow has stopped or significantly decreased, the detection signal is transmitted to an alarm control device 3 which drives the solenoid 2 and presses the emergency contact switch 5 on the digital simplex radio 1 to report the abnormality, which can then be reported to a remote location. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] An abnormality detector 6 detects phenomena that could lead to fatal damage due to power outages or equipment failures, and the signal causes the alarm control device 3 to drive the solenoid 2, which then presses the emergency contact switch 5 on the digital simplex radio 1, immediately reporting to a remote location, and the person who receives the report can take emergency measures, thereby making it possible to avoid serious damage.

[0010] Furthermore, since there is no limit to the number of receiving terminals, multiple receiving terminals can be installed within the range of the radio waves, so someone can confirm that an abnormality has occurred.

[0011] Furthermore, communication is possible between those who receive the abnormality. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] In the simple abnormality reporting device, the abnormality detector 6 is configured to monitor the water flow using a seesaw type water flow monitoring sensor as a specific example. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0013] As a concrete example of the simple abnormality reporting device, a freshwater fish farm will be used as an example to explain the device in practice.

[0014] Freshwater fish farms use electric pumps to pump up groundwater or take in river water, and the water flow and drop in height create bubbles that increase the amount of oxygen in the water, allowing large numbers of fish to be raised.

[0015] If this water flow is interrupted, the amount of oxygen in the water will decrease, and the fish will not be able to receive enough oxygen, resulting in mass deaths of the fish.

[0016] This water flow is monitored by the abnormality detector 6 (the seesaw type water flow monitoring sensor) in Figure 1, and if the water level becomes dangerous, a signal is sent to the alarm control device 3, which then activates the solenoid 2, presses the emergency contact switch 5 on the digital simplex radio 1 fixed by the case 7 and the digital simplex radio back support plate 8, and transmits the emergency call function of the digital simplex radio 1 to a remote location to notify that an abnormality has occurred.

[0017] The alarm control device 3 also has a function to re-issue an emergency call at intervals, since there may be cases where the emergency call cannot be sent correctly if the channel is being used by another person and interference occurs when sending an emergency call.

[0018] In addition, the digital simple radio 1 is connected to a digital simple radio charging stand 9 inside the case 7, and the program timer 4 schedules and manages the charging time to optimize it, preventing the battery from running out of charge and also suppressing deterioration of battery life due to overcharging.

[0019] Furthermore, the alarm control device 3 is powered by the battery of the digital simple radio 1, and can operate even during a power outage. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

1. The digital simplex radio 1 is charged according to a charging schedule set by a program timer 4 to prevent over-discharge, and also prevents battery deterioration due to overcharging. Upon receiving a signal from an abnormality detector 6, the alarm control device 3 operates the solenoid 2 and presses the emergency contact switch 5 of the digital simplex radio 1. This function is powered by the battery of the digital simplex radio 1, making it a simple abnormality reporting device that can report even during a power outage.

2. The alarm control device 3 operates the solenoid 2, presses the emergency contact switch 5 of the digital simple radio 1, and if another person is using the transmission channel when the alarm is to be sent, interference occurs and it is predicted that the emergency contact cannot be received correctly, so it has a function of sending an alarm again after a time interval.
