Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fire receiver that controls disaster prevention devices connected to a signal line in an interlocking manner. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, it is known that a fire receiver is connected to various disaster prevention devices via signal lines, and the disaster prevention devices connected to the signal lines are interlocked and controlled. Examples of the disaster prevention devices include sensors and audio devices. The fire receiver can set the signal lines, which are interlocking factors, individually or collectively as interlocking destinations, which are the destinations for transferring reports corresponding to the interlocking factors, as interlocking settings.

[0003] Conventionally, when the interlocking settings are made on the panel of a fire receiver, a combination of specific codes is used, which causes setting errors on site. It is also possible to configure the settings on a PC (personal computer) and insert a memory into the fire receiver, but the display method of the setting screen on the PC is different from that of the fire receiver panel, and a separate PC is required, making it difficult to handle on site. In particular, with P-type receivers, it is difficult for people who are not very knowledgeable to configure the interlocking settings, and there is a concern that they will not be able to configure it to perform the desired operation or will make a mistake in the settings, resulting in an operation different from that expected in an actual fire. Also, if the instruction manual is lost after construction, it will be impossible to configure the interlocking settings on site.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a fire receiver that uses a conductive material having ends that can contact two predetermined points, connects one end of the conductive material to a common line connection part of a detector line district circuit, which is an interlocking factor, and contacts the other end of the conductive material with a detector line connection part of the detector line district circuit and a conductive part of an interlocking equipment circuit to set up interlocking. Patent Document 1 uses a contact lead pin, which is a jig for setting up interlocking, as the conductive material. Patent Document 1 aims to easily set up interlocking by using a contact lead pin to directly contact the conductive part when setting up interlocking. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-192007 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the fire receiver disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires the use of a jig for setting up the interlocking, and the interlocking cause and the interlocking destination cannot be clearly understood just by looking at the circuit.

[0007] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and provides a fire receiver that does not require a linkage setting jig and allows the linkage cause and linkage destination to be recognized at a glance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The fire receiver of the present invention is a fire receiver that is connected to various disaster prevention devices via signal lines and controls the disaster prevention devices connected to the signal lines, and is characterized by having a housing, a control unit that is provided in the housing and is capable of setting, as a linkage setting, the signal line of the linkage factor that is the source of linkage, individually or / and signal lines of the same type collectively as a linkage destination that is the transfer destination corresponding to the linkage factor, and transfers the signal to the linkage destination set in the linkage setting when a signal is received from the signal line, and a display unit that is capable of displaying a linkage factor operation unit that indicates the linkage factor and a linkage destination operation unit that indicates the linkage destination, and enables the linkage setting to be set using various linkage factor operation units and various linkage destination operation units, and enables the linkage factor operation unit and the linkage destination operation unit to be displayed in a list. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the present invention, the interlocking setting can be performed using the interlocking factor operation section and the interlocking destination operation section displayed on the display section. In other words, an interlocking setting tool is not required to perform the interlocking setting. Furthermore, the display section can display the interlocking factor operation section and the interlocking destination operation section in a list. Therefore, the interlocking factor and the interlocking destination can be recognized at a glance without using the interlocking setting tool. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the fire receiver 10 according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described below. Also, in the following drawings, including FIG. 1, the size relationships of the components may differ from the actual ones. Also, in the following description, terms indicating directions are used as appropriate to facilitate understanding, but these are for the purpose of explanation and do not limit the present invention. Examples of terms indicating directions include "up", "down", "right", "left", "front" and "rear".

[0012] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a fire alarm system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the fire alarm system 1 detects a fire and outputs an alarm, and is installed in a building 2 that is a fire prevention target, such as an underground facility such as an apartment building or an underground shopping mall. FIG. 1 illustrates a case in which the fire alarm system 1 is installed in the building 2 that is an above-ground facility. The fire alarm system 1 has a disaster prevention device 3 and a fire receiver 10 connected to the disaster prevention device 3 via a signal line 7. Here, the disaster prevention device 3 has, for example, a plurality of fire detectors 4, a plurality of smoke control devices 5, and a plurality of audio devices 6.

[0013] (fire detector 4) Fig. 2 is a functional block diagram showing a fire detector 4 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The fire detector 4 is installed, for example, on the ceiling of the building 2, and transmits an alarm signal to a fire receiver 10 via a signal line 7 when the installed fire detector 4 detects a fire within a protection range monitored by the installed fire detector 4. As shown in Fig. 2, the fire detector 4 has a detector unit 41, a detector storage unit 42, a detector transmitting / receiving unit 43, and a detector control unit 44. The detector unit 41 detects a fire by detecting a physical phenomenon (for example, smoke, heat, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, combustion gas, etc.) caused by a fire at the installation location.

[0014] The detector memory unit 42 stores a program for operating the detector control unit 44 and an address as an identifier unique to the device. The address consists of a number assigned to each of the fire detectors 4 so as not to overlap with other fire detectors 4, for example. The detector transmitting / receiving unit 43 transmits signals to the fire receiver 10 and receives signals transmitted from the fire receiver 10, and is controlled by the detector control unit 44. The detector control unit 44 controls the operation of the entire fire detector 4 in accordance with the control program stored in the detector memory unit 42.

[0015] (Smoke prevention equipment 5) The smoke control and exhaust device 5 is, for example, a fire door or a fire damper. A fire door is provided, for example, on the wall surface of the building 2, and normally allows people to pass through, but closes in the event of a fire to prevent the fire from spreading to other protected compartments. A fire door is also called a fire door, and if it is a shutter type, it is also called a fire shutter. A fire damper is provided, for example, on the inside of a duct (pipe) for the purpose of air conditioning or ventilation of the building 2. A fire damper is a blade-shaped door or a plate-shaped door attached to prevent the spread of fire and the ejection of hot air in the event of a fire. A fire damper is attached when a duct penetrates a fire compartment of the building 2.

[0016] (Sound device 6) The sound device 6 notifies the occurrence of a fire by sound or voice when a fire occurs. The sound device 6 is, for example, an emergency bell or a speaker.

[0017] (Fire Receiver 10) Fig. 3 is a functional block diagram showing a fire receiver 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The fire receiver 10 is connected to various disaster prevention devices 3 via a signal line 7, and controls the disaster prevention devices 3 connected to the signal line 7 in an interlocking manner. As shown in Fig. 3, the fire receiver 10 includes a housing 10a, a receiving means transmitting / receiving unit 11, a receiving means storage unit 12, a display unit 13, a control unit 14, a receiving means communication unit 15, and a power supply unit 16.

[0018] The housing 10a constitutes the outer shell, and houses therein a receiving means transmitting / receiving unit 11, a receiving means storage unit 12, a control unit 14, a receiving means communication unit 15, and a power supply unit 16. A display unit 13 is provided on the front side of the housing 10a. The receiving means transmitting / receiving unit 11 communicates with the fire detectors 4, transmitting signals to each fire detector 4 and receiving signals transmitted from each fire detector 4. The receiving means storage unit 12 stores a program for operating the control unit 14, and also stores the addresses of each fire detector 4.

[0019] The display unit 13 is, for example, a touch panel using a liquid crystal, and has a function as a display unit that displays various information, such as information about a fire detected by the fire detector 4 and the state of the fire detector 4, and further has a function as an operation unit that accepts operations from an operator for the fire receiver 10 or the entire fire alarm system 1 and allows an operator to perform a predetermined operation by directly touching the display unit 13. Thus, a predetermined screen is displayed on the display unit 13, and a predetermined selection signal is output to the control unit 14 when the operator touches the screen. Note that, although the display unit 13 is configured as a touch panel in the present embodiment 1, the display unit 13 is not limited to a touch panel and may be provided with a display device and an operation device.

[0020] The control unit 14 controls the operation of the receiving means transceiver unit 11, display unit 13, receiving means communication unit 15, etc., as well as the entire fire receiver 10 or the entire fire alarm system 1 based on a control program stored in the receiving means memory unit 12, etc.

[0021] Here, the function of the control unit 14 will be described in detail. The control unit 14 can set the signal lines 7, which are the interlocking factors, individually, or / and the same type of signal lines 7 collectively, as the interlocking destinations, which are the transfer destinations corresponding to the interlocking factors, as the interlocking settings. Then, when the control unit 14 receives a signal from the signal line 7, it transfers the signal to the interlocking destination set in the interlocking settings. The receiving means communication unit 15 transmits signals to the smoke control device 5 and the audio device 6 under the control of the control unit 14.

[0022] The power supply unit 16 converts the AC power supplied from an external source into the power required for the fire receiver 10, and includes a standby power supply unit 16a equipped with a standby power supply consisting of a secondary battery. In the event of a power outage, power is supplied from the standby power supply unit 16a. The capacity of the standby power supply is such that it can at least monitor fires for a predetermined period of time (1 hour), and is a capacity set by standards so that when the fire detector 4 detects a fire, it can operate a fire alarm for, for example, 10 minutes.

[0023] Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the display unit 13 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Next, the display unit 13 will be described in detail. As shown in Fig. 4, the display unit 13 has a plurality of tabs at the top end, and enables linkage settings from the linkage tab. In addition, as tabs, items such as equipment classification for setting the use of the signal line 7 and audio settings for setting the sound of the audio device 6 are provided, and the display can be switched to various setting screens by selecting a tab.

[0024] The display unit 13 can display a linkage factor operation unit 21 indicating the linkage factor used in the linkage setting, and a linkage destination operation unit 22 indicating the linkage destination. The display unit 13 enables the setting of the linkage setting using various linkage factor operation units 21 and various linkage destination operation units 22. The display unit 13 also makes it possible to display a list of the linkage factor operation units 21 and the linkage destination operation units 22. Furthermore, by selecting the linkage factor operation unit 21 and / or the linkage destination operation unit 22, it is also possible to display information on the linkage factor and / or linkage destination of the set linkage setting.

[0025] The interlocking factor operation unit 21 is capable of displaying a list (all) of the signal lines 7 that are the interlocking sources when setting the interlocking relationships, and the interlocking relationships described later are set on a signal line basis. In the illustrated example, it is provided at the bottom of the display unit 13, and displays icons indicating the signal lines 7, which are the individual lines that are interlocking factors. For example, it displays detector lines L1, L2, . . ., Ln (hereinafter collectively referred to as detector lines L) used when detecting a fire, etc., smoke and smoke prevention responses DA1, DA2, . . ., DAn (hereinafter collectively referred to as smoke and smoke prevention responses DA) used when transmitting a signal notifying the operation of the smoke and smoke prevention device 5, and various display inputs LX1, LX2, . . ., LXn (hereinafter collectively referred to as various display inputs LX) used when a failure or the like of a device other than a fire occurs.

[0026] In the illustrated example, the interlocking destination operation unit 22 is provided at the top of the display unit 13, and displays an icon indicating the destination of the interlocking factor. For example, the interlocking destination operation unit 22 displays the report settings F1, F2, . . . , Fn (hereinafter collectively referred to as the report setting F) indicating the section to which the interlocking factor is to be transferred, and the smoke control and exhaust devices D1, D2, . . . , Dn (hereinafter collectively referred to as the smoke control and exhaust device D) used when activating the smoke control and exhaust device 5.

[0027] On the other hand, the control unit 14 can collectively control the same type of signal lines 7 among the signal lines 7 that are interlocking factors as status signals. In other words, the same type of signal lines 7 can be collectively interlocked, and for example, when all the detector lines L are interlocked factors, it is not necessary to individually interlock them, and they can be collectively interlocked as status signals. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the display unit 13 displays the interlocking factor display switching unit 23 that can switch the display of the interlocking factor operation unit 21, and can switch between the display of the individual signal lines 7 and the display of the status signal. At that time, the display of the interlocking destination operation unit 22 is not switched, and only the display of the interlocking factor operation unit 21 can be switched. The status signal is displayed as, for example, CL (fire) representative that can collectively control the detector lines L for fire, display sound that can collectively control the sound of the display, and CL (protection) representative that can collectively control the detector lines L for the anti-smoke interlocking detector. In addition to the icons of the status signals, for example, it is possible to provide an option function that enables the user to appropriately set a desired function, and in the example of FIG. 5, OP1, etc. is displayed.

[0028] Here, a series of flows after the interlocking setting is performed will be explained. The signal lines are described collectively below, but all of them operate the signal lines corresponding to the interlocking setting. For example, when the fire detector 4 detects a fire, the fire receiver 10 determines that the detection line L on which the activated fire detector 4 is located has become a fire. The fire receiver 10 transmits a control signal to activate the interlocking destination device (such as an audio device) whose interlocking source is the detector line L that has become a fire. Then, when a signal is transmitted from the device that detects smoke and fire, the detector line L for the smoke and fire interlocking detector is activated, and the smoke and fire D activates the smoke and fire device 5. After that, the smoke and fire response DA notifies the user that the smoke and fire device 5 has been activated.

[0029] Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the cancellation of the interlocking setting in the display unit 13 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Next, the interlocking setting will be described in detail. Fig. 6 illustrates a case where the interlocking cause sensor line L3 is set in advance in the interlocking destination report contact F6. As shown in Fig. 6, on the display unit 13, the user presses the sensor line L3 set in the report contact F6 and slides it to an area where nothing is displayed (broken arrow in Fig. 6). This cancels the interlocking setting between the interlocking destination report contact F6 and the interlocking cause sensor line L3.

[0030] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing the interlocking setting in the display unit 13 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 6, after the interlocking setting between the interlocking destination report contact F6 and the interlocking factor detector line L3 is released, the interlocking setting between the interlocking destination report contact F6 and the interlocking factor detector line L1 is set. As shown in FIG. 7, on the display unit 13, the user presses the detector line L1 and slides it into the frame that opens from the report contact F6. This links the interlocking factor detector line L1 and the interlocking destination report contact F6. In this way, by directly touching the display unit 13 and sliding the interlocking factor operation unit 21 to the interlocking destination operation unit 22, the interlocking factor set in the interlocking factor operation unit 21 and the interlocking destination set in the interlocking destination operation unit 22 can be linked or released, and the interlocking setting can be easily set without using a specific code or a separate jig.

[0031] Next, the status display of the interlocking setting will be described. In FIG. 7, the sensor line L1, which is the interlocking factor, and the interlocking destination report contact F6 are linked on the display unit 13. In this state, when the user selects the report contact F6, it can be confirmed that the sensor line L1 is set as the interlocking factor. In other words, by selecting the interlocking destination operation unit 22, the user can recognize at a glance which interlocking factor is set in the interlocking destination operation unit 22. In other words, the user can easily check the setting contents even after the interlocking setting, and the user does not need to memorize the contents of the interlocking setting by himself.

[0032] 8 is a schematic diagram showing the display of the linkage destination set as the linkage factor on the display unit 13 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the linkage factor to be installed can be confirmed by selecting the linkage destination operation unit 22 on the display unit 13, but it is also possible to make the linkage destination to be set the core by selecting the linkage factor operation unit 21. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the CL (Tue) representative, which is the linkage factor operation unit 21 displayed on the display unit 13, is selected, the icon of the linkage destination operation unit 22 to be set is displayed. This allows the user to recognize at a glance that the CL (Tue) representative, which is the linkage factor, is currently set to the report transfer contact F2, report transfer contact F3, and report transfer contact F4, which are the linkage destinations.

[0033] The display unit 13 can change the display form of the interlocking factor operation unit 21 and / or the interlocking destination operation unit 22 for each type. For example, the color coding or icon shape can be changed according to the interlocking factor (disaster prevention device 3). When the interlocking setting of the fire receiver 10 is performed on a PC, if the display content of the PC screen and the display content of the display unit 13 of the fire receiver 10 are made the same, the interlocking setting on the PC is also easy.

[0034] According to the present embodiment 1, the interlocking setting can be set by directly touching the display unit 13 using the interlocking factor operation unit 21 and the interlocking destination operation unit 22 displayed on the display unit 13. That is, no additional device is required to set the interlocking setting. Also, the display unit 13 can display the interlocking factor operation unit 21 and the interlocking destination operation unit 22 in a list. Therefore, it is possible to recognize the interlocking factor and the interlocking destination at a glance without using a jig for interlocking setting. In this way, the fire receiver 10 of the present embodiment 1 can perform the interlocking setting visually and intuitively. Therefore, the interlocking setting is easy to understand and unlikely to be mistaken, and can be performed even without an instruction manual.

[0035] The fire alarm system 1, in which a plurality of fire detectors 4 are connected to a fire receiver 10 via signal lines 7 and which monitors the signal lines 7 for fires on a signal line basis, will now be described in further detail. When setting up interlocking, the display unit 13 of the fire receiver 10 of the fire alarm system 1 displays all of the detector signal lines that are the interlocking source as icons. At the same time, the display unit 13 of the fire receiver 10 displays all of the smoke and fire prevention signal lines that are the interlocking destination as icons. The fire alarm system 1 can set up interlocking relationships by manipulating the icon displays of the detector signal lines and the smoke and fire prevention signal lines displayed on the display unit 13.
