[0024] (composition) First, the configuration of the disaster prevention system according to the present embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a connection diagram of the disaster prevention system according to the present embodiment, and Fig. 2 is a block diagram of a smoke exhaust system control panel.

[0025] The disaster prevention system 100 is, for example, a system installed in a building, and includes, as an example, a receiver 1, a smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, a smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3, a smoke exhaust outlet switch 4, and a smoke exhaust machine 5. Note that the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 is a general term for the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 31 to 33, and this general term will be used in the description when there is no need to distinguish between them. The smoke exhaust outlet switch 4 is also a general term for the smoke exhaust outlet switches 41 to 43, and the smoke exhaust machine 5 is also a general term for the smoke exhaust machines 51 and 52, and these will be described in the same manner.

[0026] (Configuration - Receiver) The receiver 1 in Fig. 1 is an external device, and is the disaster prevention receiver described above. The specific type and configuration of this receiver 1 are arbitrary, but for example, it can be configured as an R-type receiver so as to be able to communicate with a smoke exhaust system control panel 2 via a transmission line. The "transmission line" is a wiring for communicating by any communication method, and can be configured using, for example, a LAN cable or the like.

[0027] (Configuration: Smoke exhaust equipment control panel) The smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 in Fig. 1 is a control device, specifically, a device that controls and tests the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. The specific type and configuration of this smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 are arbitrary, but it is connected to the receiver 1 via a transmission line, and also connected to the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3, the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4, and the smoke exhaust machine 5 via wiring. The smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 includes, for example, a communication unit 21, a connection unit 22, a recording unit 23, and a control unit 24 in Fig. 2.

[0028] (Configuration - Smoke exhaust equipment control panel - Communication section) The communication unit 21 is a communication means for communicating with an external device. The specific type and configuration of the communication unit 21 are arbitrary, but for example, the communication unit 21 can be configured to include a communication circuit or the like for communicating with the receiver 1 via a transmission line.

[0029] (Configuration - Smoke exhaust equipment control panel - Connection part) The connection unit 22 is a connecting means for electrical connection. The specific type and configuration of the connection unit 22 are arbitrary, but for example, the connection unit 22 may be configured to include a contact group or the like that is connected to the smoke exhaust port equipment 3, the smoke exhaust port switch 4, and the smoke exhaust machine 5 via wiring.

[0030] (Configuration - Smoke exhaust equipment control panel - Recording section) The recording unit 23 is a recording means for recording programs and various data necessary for the operation of the smoke exhaust system control panel 2, and is configured, for example, using a hard disk (not shown) as an external recording device. However, instead of or together with the hard disk, any other recording medium including a magnetic recording medium such as a magnetic disk, or an optical recording medium such as a DVD or a Blu-ray disk can be used. This recording unit 23 stores device information.

[0031] (Configuration - Smoke exhaust equipment control panel - Recording section - Device information) "Device information" is information for identifying smoke exhaust prevention and control equipment, and specifically, information for identifying the correspondence between the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating device information. As shown in FIG. 3, the device information is information in which, for example, the items "smoke exhaust outlet address information", "smoke exhaust outlet equipment information", "smoke exhaust machine address information", and "smoke exhaust machine information" are associated with information corresponding to each of these items. The information corresponding to the item "smoke exhaust outlet address information" is the above-mentioned identification information, and specifically, the smoke exhaust outlet address information for identifying an address for uniquely identifying the smoke exhaust outlet equipments 31 to 33 (in FIG. 3, "AD31" identifies the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 31 in FIG. 1, "AD32" identifies the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 32, and "AD33" identifies the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 33). The information corresponding to the item "smoke exhaust outlet equipment information" is smoke exhaust outlet equipment information for identifying the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 31 to 33 (in FIG. 3, it is a name, "smoke exhaust outlet No. 1" for identifying the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 31 in FIG. 1, "smoke exhaust outlet No. 2" for identifying the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 32, and "smoke exhaust outlet No. 3" for identifying the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 33). The information corresponding to the item "smoke exhaust machine address information" is the above-mentioned identification information, specifically, smoke exhaust machine address information for identifying an address for uniquely identifying the smoke exhaust machines 51 and 52 (in FIG. 3, it is "AD51" for identifying the smoke exhaust machine 51 in FIG. 1, and "AD52" for identifying the smoke exhaust machine 52). The information corresponding to the item "smoke exhaust machine information" is smoke exhaust machine information for identifying the smoke exhaust machines 51 and 52 (in FIG. 3, it is a name, "smoke exhaust machine No. 1" for identifying the smoke exhaust machine 51 in FIG. 1, and "smoke exhaust machine No. 2" for identifying the smoke exhaust machine 52). The specific method for storing such device information is arbitrary, but for example, when constructing the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5, a manager or worker generates device information taking into consideration the correspondence between them (for example, by operating the fan of the smoke exhaust machine 51, an air flow in the air duct of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 31 is generated by the fan, and the smoke inside the room is exhausted through the opening of the exhaust equipment 31 and the smoke exhaust machine 51), and stores the information by inputting it into the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 using any method (for example, by inputting it via a recording medium such as a memory stick, or by inputting it by operating an operating unit not shown). (Configuration - Control Unit) Returning to Fig. 2, the control unit 24 is a control means for controlling the smoke exhaust system control panel 2. Specifically, it is a computer including a CPU, various programs interpreted and executed on the CPU (including basic control programs such as an OS, and application programs that are started on the OS and realize specific functions), and an internal memory such as a RAM for storing the programs and various data.

[0032] The control unit 24 conceptually includes, for example, a test unit 241 and an output unit 242. The test unit 241 is a test means for conducting tests on the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. The output unit 242 is an output means for outputting a test-related signal, which is a signal indicating information related to the test by the test unit 241, to the receiver 1. The processing performed by each unit of the control unit 24 will be described later.

[0033] (Configuration - Smoke exhaust equipment) The smoke exhaust port equipment 3 in FIG. 1 is a smoke exhaust equipment, and includes, for example, smoke exhaust port equipment 31-33 installed at different positions of a building. The specific type and configuration of the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 are arbitrary, but for example, it is connected to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 via wiring, and power is supplied from the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2. As described above, it can be configured to include an air duct for passing smoke, an opening leading to the air duct, an opening / closing cover for opening and closing the opening, and an opening / closing cover control device for controlling the opening and closing of the opening / closing cover. In addition, the opening / closing cover control devices of the smoke exhaust port equipment 31-33 are set with addresses "AD31", "AD32", and "AD33". In addition, it is assumed that the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 can grasp whether the opening / closing cover of the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 is open or closed using any method (for example, communication via wiring).

[0034] (Configuration - Smoke exhaust switch) The smoke exhaust port switch 4 in Fig. 1 is a switch for starting the operation of the smoke exhaust port equipment 3. The specific type and configuration of this smoke exhaust port switch 4 are arbitrary, but for example, it can be connected to the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust port equipment control panel 2 via wiring, and can be supplied with power from the smoke exhaust port equipment control panel 2, and can be configured with a push button that is pressed to start the operation of the smoke exhaust port equipment 3. In addition, whether the push button of the smoke exhaust port switch 4 has been pressed can be grasped on the smoke exhaust port equipment control panel 2 side using any method.

[0035] (Configuration-Smoke extractor) The smoke exhaust machine 5 in FIG. 1 is a smoke control and exhaust equipment, and includes smoke exhaust machines 51 and 52 installed on the roof of a building, for example. The specific type and configuration of the smoke exhaust machine 5 are arbitrary, but for example, it is connected to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 via wiring, and is supplied with power from the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2. As described above, it can be configured to include a fan for exhausting smoke through an air duct and a fan control device for controlling the fan. In addition, the fan control devices of the smoke exhaust machines 51 and 52 are set with addresses "AD51" and "AD52". In addition, it is assumed that the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 can grasp whether the fan of the smoke exhaust machine 5 is operating by using any method (for example, communication via wiring, etc.).

[0036] (Construction) Next, the construction of the disaster prevention system 100 thus configured will be described. The construction method of the disaster prevention system 100 is arbitrary, but for example, focusing on the fact that the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3, the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4, and the smoke exhaust machine 5 are configured to be controlled by power supplied from the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3, the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4, and the smoke exhaust machine 5 are constructed in a so-called air conditioning equipment construction process, and the receiver 1 is constructed in an electrical equipment construction process. By adopting such a construction method, construction of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 is not required in the electrical equipment construction process, making it possible to reduce the number of steps in that process.

[0037] (process) Next, the smoke prevention and exhaust process and the test process executed by the disaster prevention system 100 configured as above will be described.

[0038] (Treatment - Smoke control treatment) 4 is a flowchart of the smoke prevention and exhaust process (in the following explanation of each process, steps are abbreviated as "S"). The "smoke prevention and exhaust process" is a process for disaster prevention, and specifically, a process for operating the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 when a fire occurs. The timing for executing this smoke prevention and exhaust process is arbitrary, but for example, it is assumed that the process is started after the operation mode of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 is switched to disaster prevention mode via an operation unit (not shown) of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, and that the process is executed repeatedly, and the explanation will be given from the point where the process has started.

[0039] An "operation mode" is a mode for operating the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, and includes, for example, a disaster prevention mode or a test mode which can be switched between by operating an operation unit (not shown) of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2. An "disaster prevention mode" is a mode that is set during normal times other than when testing the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 (i.e., a mode for normal monitoring), and a "test mode" is a mode that is set when testing the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 (i.e., a mode for testing).

[0040] In SA1 of Fig. 4, the control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 judges whether or not to start the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. The specific method is arbitrary, but for example, the judgment is made based on whether or not the push button of the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4 has been pressed. Then, if the push button of the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4 has not been pressed, it judges that the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 should not be started (NO in SA1), and repeatedly executes SA1 until it judges that the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 should be started. Also, if the push button of the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4 has been pressed, it judges that the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 should be started (YES in SA1), and proceeds to SA2.

[0041] 1 in the event of a fire, the control device for the opening / closing cover of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 31 connected to the pressed smoke exhaust vent switch 41 opens the opening / closing cover, and in this case, it is determined that the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 are to be started. In this case, the control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 transmits a signal indicating the state of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 31 (for example, a signal indicating that the opening / closing cover of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 31 has been opened) to the receiver 1, and displays the state of the opening / closing cover on the display device (display) of the receiver 1.

[0042] At SA2 in Fig. 4, the control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 starts the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. Specifically, although it is arbitrary, for example, the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 connected to the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4 whose push button was pressed at SA1 transmits a push signal indicating that the push button of the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4 corresponding to itself, including the address set for itself, has been pressed, to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2. Then, the control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 receives the transmitted push signal, refers to the device information in Fig. 3, identifies the smoke exhaust machine address information corresponding to the address included in the push signal, and starts the smoke exhaust machine 5 corresponding to the identified smoke exhaust machine address information, thereby starting the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5.

[0043] Here, for example, the smoke exhaust port equipment 31 connected to the smoke exhaust port switch 41 whose push button has been pressed in SA1 transmits a push signal indicating that the push button has been pressed, including "AD31" which is the address set for the equipment 31, to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2. The control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 receives the push signal, refers to the device information in Fig. 3, identifies "AD51", which is the smoke exhaust machine address information corresponding to "AD31", which is the address included in the push signal, and starts the smoke exhaust machine 51 corresponding to the identified smoke exhaust machine address information "AD51". The control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 also transmits a signal indicating the state of the smoke exhaust machine 51 (for example, a signal indicating that the smoke exhaust machine 51 has been started) to the receiver 1, and displays the state of the smoke exhaust machine 5 on the display device of the receiver 1. In this case, the fan control device of the smoke exhaust machine 51 will start operating the fan, and the smoke inside the room will be exhausted to the outdoors through the opening of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 31, whose opening / closing cover has been opened at SA1, and through the air duct.

[0044] The subsequent processing is optional, but for example, the operation of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 is terminated by performing a predetermined operation via an operation unit (not shown) of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2. In this case, the control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 transmits a signal indicating the status of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 (for example, a signal indicating that the operation of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 has been terminated) to the receiver 1, and displays the status of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 on the display device of the receiver 1. This ends the smoke prevention and exhaust processing.

[0045] (Processing - Test Processing) 5 is a flowchart of the test process. The "test process" is a process for conducting a test, specifically, a process for testing the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. The timing for executing this test process is arbitrary, but for example, the execution is started after the operation mode of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 is switched to a test mode via an operation unit (not shown) of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, and the execution is repeated, and the description will begin from the point where the execution has started.

[0046] In SB1 of FIG. 5, the test unit 241 of the smoke exhaust system control panel 2 tests the smoke exhaust outlet system 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. Specifically, the test unit 241 tests the smoke exhaust outlet system 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. Specifically, the test unit 241 tests the smoke exhaust outlet system 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5, and performs an operation test, focusing on the fact that addresses are set in the smoke exhaust outlet system 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5, and each device can be identified. The "operation test" is a test related to operation, for example, a test to check whether each process described in the above-mentioned smoke prevention and exhaust process is performed. Specifically, the operation test is performed by an operator pressing the push button of the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4, and in this case, a test is performed to check whether the opening and closing cover of the smoke exhaust outlet system 3 opens and whether the smoke exhaust machine 5 starts operating. Alternatively, the smoke exhaust system control panel 2, the smoke exhaust outlet system 3, and the smoke exhaust machine 5 are provided with an automatic test function, and the automatic test function (i.e., a function to automatically test whether their own operation is normal or abnormal) is used to perform the test.

[0047] Regarding whether the opening / closing cover of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 opens, the test unit 241, for example, identifies the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 corresponding to the smoke exhaust vent switch 4 having a push button pressed by the worker, and if the opening / closing cover of the identified smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 opens within a predetermined time (for example, within 30 seconds to 1 minute, etc.) from pressing the push button, identifies the test result as normal, and if the opening / closing cover of the identified smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 does not open within a predetermined time (for example, within 30 seconds to 1 minute, etc.) from pressing the push button, identifies the test result as abnormal. Note that "normal" means that it is as expected, and is a concept indicating that it can be continued to be used as it is, for example. "Abnormal" means that it is not as expected, and is a concept indicating that maintenance, etc. is required, for example. In addition, the specific method for "identifying the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 corresponding to the smoke exhaust outlet switch 4 having the push button pressed by the worker" here is arbitrary, and a publicly known method may be used. For example, as shown in Figure 1, a method for identifying the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 31-33 corresponding to the smoke exhaust outlet switches 41-43 may be used by noting that each corresponding smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and smoke exhaust switch 4 are connected to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 via a common wiring.

[0048] Here, for example, it is assumed that the opening and closing cover of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 31 opens 3 to 5 seconds after an operator presses the push button of the smoke exhaust vent switch 41, and in this case, the test result is specified as "normal."

[0049] Regarding whether the smoke exhaust machine 5 starts to operate, the test unit 241 performs, for example, the same process as that described in SA2 of FIG. 4, and identifies the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 corresponding to the smoke exhaust port switch 4 having the push button pressed by the worker as described above, identifies the smoke exhaust machine 5 corresponding to the identified smoke exhaust port equipment 3, and if the identified smoke exhaust machine 5 starts to operate within a predetermined time (for example, within 10 to 30 seconds) from the pressing of the push button, identifies the smoke exhaust machine 5 as normal as a test result, and if the identified smoke exhaust machine 5 does not start to operate within the predetermined time from the pressing of the push button, identifies the smoke exhaust machine 5 as abnormal as a test result. Note that the specific method for "identifying the smoke exhaust machine 5 corresponding to the smoke exhaust port equipment 3" here is arbitrary, but for example, a method of identifying the smoke exhaust machine 5 by focusing on the address as described in SA2 of FIG. 4 may be used.

[0050] Here, for example, it is assumed that the smoke exhaust machine 51 starts up 3 to 5 seconds after an operator presses the push button of the smoke exhaust switch 41, and in this case, "normal" is specified.

[0051] For a test using the automatic test function, the test section 241 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 sends an operation test signal (a signal for starting an automatic test) to the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 at any timing (for example, immediately after starting the test process, or when a predetermined operation is performed via an operation section (not shown) of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, etc.). In this case, the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 perform an operation test (a test to determine whether their own operation is normal or abnormal) inside the equipment, and send a signal specifying whether their own operation is normal or abnormal to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 as a test result of pass or fail. Note that at this time, the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 do not actually operate, and the automatic test function inside the equipment judges pass or fail (whether normal or abnormal) and sends a signal specifying the judgment result. The test section 241 receives the signal specifying the judgment result sent from the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5, and specifies "normal" or "abnormal" based on the received signal.

[0052] In SB2 in FIG. 5, the output unit 242 of the smoke exhaust system control panel 2 outputs a test-related signal. The "test-related signal" is a signal related to the test, specifically, a signal including information related to the test, for example, information specifying the test performed and information indicating the result of the test. Although the specific example is arbitrary, for example, the test performed in SB2 and the result of the test are acquired, a test-related signal including the acquired test and information indicating the test is generated, and the generated test-related signal is transmitted (output) to the receiver 1 via the communication unit 21 and the transmission line in FIG. 1. Then, the receiver 1 receives the transmitted test-related signal, and displays the information included in the received test-related signal on its own display device. In this case, the information related to the test can be confirmed on the receiver 1 side.

[0053] Here, for example, the test performed in SB2 as to whether the opening / closing cover of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 opens and the result of that test being "normal", the test performed in SB2 as to whether the smoke exhauster 5 starts to operate and the result of that test being "normal", and the automatic test and the result of that test being, for example, "normal" are acquired, a test-related signal including the acquired information is generated, and the generated test-related signal is transmitted to the receiver 1. This ends the test process.

[0054] (Effects of the embodiment) Thus, according to this embodiment, by conducting tests on the smoke exhaust outlet facility 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 and outputting a test-related signal, which is a signal indicating information related to the test, to the receiver 1, it becomes possible, for example, to conduct tests and grasp the state of the smoke exhaust outlet facility 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5. Also, for example, by providing a smoke exhaust facility control panel 2 that controls the smoke exhaust outlet facility 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 in addition to the receiver 1, it is possible to divide the process into one of constructing the smoke exhaust outlet facility 3, the smoke exhaust machine 5, and the smoke exhaust facility control panel 2 (for example, an air conditioning facility construction process) and one of constructing the receiver 1 (for example, an electrical facility construction process), which makes it possible to reduce the man-hours in the electrical facility construction process.

[0055] In addition, by conducting tests on the operation of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5, it is possible to grasp, for example, the operating status of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5.

[0056] In addition, by identifying at least some of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and smoke exhaust machines 5 based on the address and conducting tests on at least some of the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and smoke exhaust machines 5 based on the identification results, it becomes possible, for example, to individually grasp the status of each smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and smoke exhaust machine 5.

[0057] [Modifications to the embodiment] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the specific configuration and means of the present invention can be modified and improved as desired within the scope of the technical ideas of each invention described in the claims. Such modifications will be described below.

[0058] (About the problem to be solved and the effects of the invention) First, the problems that the invention aims to solve and the effects of the invention are not limited to those described above, and may vary depending on the implementation environment of the invention and the details of the configuration, and may solve only some of the problems described above or achieve only some of the effects described above.

[0059] (Regarding decentralization and integration) In addition, the above-mentioned configuration is a functional concept, and does not necessarily have to be physically configured as shown in the drawings. In other words, the specific form of distribution or integration of each part is not limited to that shown in the drawings, and all or part of it can be functionally or physically distributed or integrated in any unit. In addition, the "device" in this application is not limited to one configured by a single device, but includes one configured by multiple devices.

[0060] (About the exam) In the above embodiment, the case where an "operation test" is performed in SB1 in Fig. 5 has been described, but this is not limiting. For example, the test unit 241 may be configured to perform a "disconnection detection test" or an "air volume measurement test" together with or instead of the "operation test." The "disconnection detection test" is a test to check whether wiring is disconnected, for example, a test to check whether wiring between the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 in Fig. 1 and the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 and smoke exhaust fan 5 is disconnected. The "air volume measurement test" is a test related to operation, for example, a test to measure the air volume at the opening of the smoke exhaust fan equipment 3 when the fan of the smoke exhaust fan 5 is operated.

[0061] Specifically, regarding the disconnection detection test, the test unit 241 judges whether or not the wiring between the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 and the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 is disconnected by, for example, any method (for example, a method of supplying a voltage to the wiring and focusing on the voltage drop of the voltage or the current value in the wiring, etc.), and specifies the test result as "normal" if it is judged that the wiring is not disconnected, and specifies the test result as "abnormal" if it is judged that the wiring is disconnected. In this case, since the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 are set with addresses and can be individually identified, a test may be performed for each device. In this configuration, by performing a test on the current between the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 side and the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 side, it becomes possible to grasp the state of the current between the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 side and the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 side, for example.

[0062] Specifically, regarding the airflow measurement test, after installing an airflow measurement sensor at the opening of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3, the test unit 241 starts the operation of the fan of the smoke exhaust fan 5, acquires the airflow detected by the airflow measurement sensor installed at the opening of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 corresponding to the smoke exhaust fan 5, compares the acquired airflow with an upper threshold and a lower threshold, and if the acquired airflow is between the upper threshold and the lower threshold, identifies the test result as "normal", and if the acquired airflow is above the upper threshold or below the lower threshold, identifies the test result as "abnormal". In this case, the test unit 241 may identify the acquired airflow itself as the test result.

[0063] (About history) Furthermore, information regarding the test carried out at SA1 in FIG. 5 in the above embodiment may be recorded in recording unit 23 together with the time when the test was carried out, thereby accumulating a test history.

[0064] (Notification of exam in progress) 5 in the above embodiment is started, the output unit 242 may be configured to transmit (output) a test notification signal including information indicating that a test is in progress to the receiver 1. By configuring in this way, it becomes possible for the receiver 1 to know that a test is in progress.

[0065] (About the opening and closing cover of the smoke exhaust vent equipment) In addition, the opening and closing cover of the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 in Figure 1 of the above embodiment may be configured to be controlled (opened) by the control unit 24 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 when it is determined that the smoke exhaust vent switch 41 has been pressed.

[0066] (Smoke control treatment (part 1)) In the above embodiment, the case where it is determined that the smoke exhaust vent equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5 are to be started when the push button of the smoke exhaust vent switch 4 is pressed in SA1 in Fig. 4 has been described, but this may be changed arbitrarily. For example, it may be configured to determine that they are to be started when an alarm signal is received from a so-called detector.

[0067] (Smoke control treatment (part 2)) The smoke control and exhaust processing of the above embodiment may be configured to perform the following processing. Specifically, when the receiver 1 receives a fire signal (alarm signal) from a fire detector at a certain location, it transfers fire location information (i.e., information identifying the location of the fire) to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2. The smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 displays the received fire information (i.e., information corresponding to the fire location information transferred from the receiver 1) on a panel (not shown) or issues an audio warning through a speaker (not shown), and also identifies a predetermined interlocking target smoke control and exhaust equipment corresponding to the location of the fire, and activates the identified smoke control and exhaust equipment. Note that any method may be used to identify a predetermined interlocking target smoke control and exhaust equipment corresponding to the location of the fire. For example, a method may be used in which an interlocking table that identifies the correspondence between each fire detector and each smoke control and exhaust equipment is recorded in the recording unit 23 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, and the interlocking table is referred to in order to identify the smoke control and exhaust equipment corresponding to the fire detector that output the above-mentioned fire signal. In this case, the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 displays the activated smoke control equipment on a panel surface (not shown). The smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 also transmits information about the activated smoke control equipment back to the receiver 1, and the receiver 1 also displays the interlocking status (i.e., information indicating that the smoke control equipment corresponding to the fire detector that output the fire signal has been activated). The interlocking table of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 described above may be configured to be displayable on the receiver 1 side, or to be able to be confirmed or changed on the receiver 1 side.

[0068] (About the test process (part 1)) In addition, the test process of the above embodiment may be configured to transmit a test execution instruction from the receiver 1 to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2, and may be executed when the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 receives the test execution instruction. Specifically, the receiver 1 may be configured to periodically (for example, once a week or daily) and automatically test the fire detection-related terminal devices (sensors, repeaters, etc.) under its jurisdiction to monitor the status of the terminal devices, and may be configured to issue an automatic test execution instruction or a result request to the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 at the timing of this automatic test (i.e., the timing when the terminal devices are automatically tested). In this case, the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 may perform a test in the test process (for example, a process in which the test unit 241 of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 sends an operation test signal (a signal for starting an automatic test) to the smoke exhaust port equipment 3 and the smoke exhaust machine 5), and the receiver 1 may be configured to receive and manage the test result from the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 (for example, the test result may be recorded, or the test result may be output as a display or audio).

[0069] (About the test process (part 2)) Furthermore, when configured as described above in "(Regarding test processing (part 1))", the receiver 1 collectively manages the automatic test results of the terminal equipment under its jurisdiction and the automatic test results of the equipment under the jurisdiction of the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 (i.e., the smoke exhaust outlet equipment 3 and smoke control and exhaust equipment such as the smoke exhaust machine 5), allowing the status of the entire equipment to be viewed on the display of the receiver 1 and disaster prevention personnel to identify abnormal equipment (fire detection equipment (one example is the aforementioned terminal equipment) and smoke control and exhaust equipment) on the receiver 1. The receiver 1 and / or the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2 may also be configured to transfer the test results to an external institution (a facility management company, a maintenance company) via a network, allowing the results to be viewed on a personal computer or mobile device from outside the building.

[0070] (Effects of improving construction efficiency) Furthermore, when configured as in the disaster prevention system 100 of the above embodiment, even if the smoke prevention and exhaust equipment is not completely installed during construction, the receiver 1 side can independently test the controlled equipment (i.e., the terminal equipment such as the above-mentioned detectors and repeaters). Conversely, even if the construction of the receiver 1 is not completed, it is possible to execute a test of only the smoke prevention and exhaust equipment at the smoke exhaust equipment control panel 2.

[0071] (Regarding sequential execution of tests) In addition, for tests using the automatic test function in SB1 of Figure 5 in the above embodiment, if there are multiple smoke control and exhaust equipment, the tests may be performed on the multiple smoke control and exhaust equipment in sequence and the results may be stored.

[0072] (About the automatic test function) In addition, in the above embodiment, tests using the automatic testing function have been described as being performed without actually operating the smoke control and exhaust equipment. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be configured to actually operate the smoke control and exhaust equipment and test whether the equipment is normal or abnormal based on the sensor output values ​​when the equipment is operated (for example, the output values ​​of various sensors already installed in the smoke control and exhaust equipment, or the output values ​​of various sensors installed for performing the automatic testing).

[0073] (Features) Furthermore, the features of the embodiments and the features of the modifications may be combined in any manner.
