Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a transmitter that is a disaster prevention device that notifies of an abnormality such as a fire. [Background technology]

[0002] Disaster prevention equipment that is operated to extinguish a fire is provided with a transmitter that manually notifies the user of the fire. One example is a disaster prevention device in which an indicator light and a sound hole area are concentrated in one location and combined with a transmitter (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The disaster prevention device in Patent Document 1 achieves a disaster prevention device that is compact and has improved operability and design, while reducing the installation space by concentrating and arranging the devices it houses.

[0003] Additionally, ring-shaped indicator light transmitters, in which the transmitter and indicator light are integrated, are also widely recognized (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). According to the ring-shaped indicator light transmitter in Non-Patent Document 1, by making the conventional indicator light into a ring shape and integrating it with the transmitter, a compact form is achieved while maintaining the functionality of the transmitter and indicator light.

[0004] Therefore, by using such a ring-shaped indicator light transmitter, it is possible to create a smart disaster prevention facility that blends in with the spatial design, is usually unnoticeable, and stands out in an emergency. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] However, the conventional techniques have the following problems. It is desirable to make the installation space as compact as possible for transmitters that are attached to walls, storage boxes, etc. From this perspective, the disaster prevention device disclosed in Patent Document 1 and the transmitter with a ring-shaped indicator light disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 can contribute to making the installation space more compact.

[0008] However, depending on the installation location of the disaster prevention equipment, further space saving may be desired. For example, when installing disaster prevention equipment on a wall, even if there is ample space behind the wall, it is effective to install more compact, space-saving disaster prevention equipment on the surface of the wall, as this will also increase the competitiveness of the product.

[0009] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to obtain a transmitter that can realize disaster prevention equipment that requires less space than current products. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The transmitter according to the present disclosure has a function of manually notifying a fire, and has a configuration in which an indicator light indicating the position of the transmitter and an audio device that outputs a fire alarm are housed within the housing of the transmitter. Furthermore, an acoustic hole or slit is provided on the front of the transmitter housing, including the location of the transmitter push button. It is something. [Effects of the Invention]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the drawings. The transmitter of the present disclosure has the technical feature of adding a display function and an audio function to the original function of a transmitter that manually notifies of a fire, making it an all-in-one transmitter that integrates a transmitter, indicator light, and audio device, making it a product that is suitable for saving space.

[0014] Embodiment 1 First, a conventional device in which the transmitter, indicator light, and sound device are not integrated will be described, and then an all-in-one type transmitter according to the present disclosure that is suitable for space saving will be described.

[0015] Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram of the prior art showing a state in which a ring-shaped indicator light transmitter and an audio device are stored in an equipment storage box. The ring-shaped indicator light transmitter disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1 can be applied as the ring-shaped indicator light transmitter. In the equipment storage box 1 shown in Fig. 6, space is saved by using a ring-shaped indicator light transmitter in which the transmitter 10 and the indicator light 20 are integrated, but an audio device 30 must be placed separately from the ring-shaped indicator light transmitter.

[0016] In contrast to this, the transmitter according to the first embodiment has an all-in-one configuration in which the functions of the transmitter, indicator light, and audio device are all integrated and housed in a single transmitter housing, making it suitable for space saving. Therefore, the transmitter according to the first embodiment will be described using Figures 1 and 2.

[0017] 1 is an explanatory diagram of an all-in-one transmitter according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. Transmitter 100 according to the first embodiment is configured by integrating transmitter 10, the main purpose of which is to notify a fire by manual operation, indicator light 20, the main purpose of which is to allow the position of the transmitter to be visually confirmed, and audio device 30, the main purpose of which is to output a fire alarm.

[0018] In other words, the all-in-one transmitter 100 has the indicator light 20 and the acoustic device 30 housed within the housing of the transmitter 10, and is configured as an integrated unit of the transmitter 10, the indicator light 20, and the acoustic device 30. Therefore, there is no need to separately arrange the acoustic device 30 as shown in Fig. 6 above, and space can be saved.

[0019] A bell, an electronic buzzer, or a speaker can be used as the acoustic device 30. In addition, by forming an acoustic hole on the front surface of the transmitter 10 as shown in Fig. 1, the sound emitted from the acoustic device 30 can be output efficiently.

[0020] 2A and 2B are explanatory diagrams showing a comparison of the depth-wise shapes of an all-in-one type transmitter 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure and an existing ring-shaped indicator light transmitter 200. In Fig. 2A, the depth-wise dimension of the all-in-one type transmitter 100 according to the first embodiment is indicated as LA. Specifically, the total thickness of the main body 101, which is attached to a wall, a storage box, or the like, and the storage section 102, which is located on the back side of the main body 101 and stores components, wiring, and the like, is indicated as the depth-wise dimension LA.

[0021] 2(B), the depth dimension of the existing ring-shaped indicator light-equipped transmitter 200 is shown as LB. Specifically, the total thickness of the main body 201 that is attached to a wall, a housing, etc., and the storage section 202 that stores components, wiring, etc. on the back side of the main body 201 is shown as the depth dimension LB.

[0022] An acoustic device 30 is stored in the storage section 102 of the all-in-one type transmitter 100. Therefore, the depth dimension LA is longer than the depth dimension LB. However, the area exposed on the front surface of the main body 101 of the all-in-one type transmitter 100 is the same as the area exposed on the front surface of the main body 201 of the existing ring-shaped indicator light transmitter 200.

[0023] Fig. 3 is a front view showing the all-in-one type transmitter 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure housed in an equipment housing box. Compared to the layout in Fig. 6, by employing the all-in-one type transmitter 100 as shown in Fig. 3, it is possible to reduce the space required for the equipment housing box.

[0024] Although the wiring of the all-in-one transmitter 100 is not shown in the figure, the number of wires required is four for the transmitter, two for the indicator light, and two for the audio device, and the same number of wires as the conventional configuration shown in Figure 6 can be used.

[0025] As described above, according to the first embodiment, a display function and an audio function are added to the original function of the transmitter to manually notify a fire, and an all-in-one configuration is realized in which the transmitter, indicator light, and audio device are all integrated and housed in a single transmitter housing. As a result, it is possible to obtain a transmitter that can realize disaster prevention equipment that takes up less space than current products.

[0026] Embodiment 2 In the above-described first embodiment, a configuration in which an acoustic device 30 is added to an existing ring-shaped indicator light transmitter is described. In contrast, in the second embodiment, a configuration in which an existing ring-shaped indicator light transmitter is not used is described.

[0027] 4 is an explanatory diagram of an all-in-one transmitter according to embodiment 2 of the present disclosure. Transmitter 100a according to embodiment 2 is configured by integrating transmitter 10a, the main purpose of which is to notify a fire by manual operation, indicator light 20a, the main purpose of which is to visually confirm the position of the transmitter, and audio device 30a, the main purpose of which is to output a fire alarm.

[0028] In other words, the all-in-one transmitter 100a has the indicator light 20a and the acoustic device 30a housed within the housing of the transmitter 10a, and is configured as an integrated unit of the transmitter 10a, integrating the indicator light 20a, and the acoustic device 30a. Therefore, there is no need to provide a separate acoustic device 30 as shown in Figure 6, thereby achieving space savings.

[0029] The acoustic device 30a can be a bell, an electronic buzzer, or a speaker. In addition, by forming acoustic slits in multiple locations on the front surface of the transmitter 10a as shown in Figure 4, the sound emitted from the acoustic device 30a can be output efficiently.

[0030] 5A and 5B are explanatory diagrams showing two specific mounting methods for an all-in-one type transmitter 100a according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure. In Fig. 5A, the transmitter 10a, the indicator light 20a, and the acoustic device 30a are mounted on the front side of a printed wiring board PC. In Fig. 5B, the transmitter 10a and the indicator light 20a are mounted on the front side of the printed wiring board PC, and the acoustic device 30a is mounted on the back side.

[0031] By adopting a layout like that shown in Figure 5(A) or Figure 5(B), it is possible to realize an all-in-one configuration in which the transmitter, indicator light, and audio device are all integrated into a single transmitter housing, without using an existing ring-shaped indicator light transmitter.

[0032] When the all-in-one type transmitter 100a according to the second embodiment is adopted, the depth dimension is longer than that of the existing ring-shaped indicator light transmitter 200, just as in the case of adopting the all-in-one type transmitter 100a according to the first embodiment, but the area exposed on the surface side is the same as that of the existing ring-shaped indicator light transmitter 200, and space can be saved compared to the layout of Figure 6.

[0033] In Figure 4, the small circle in the center represents the push button of transmitter 10a. By forming acoustic slits or holes as shown in Figure 4 in multiple locations on the front of transmitter 10a, including the push button, the sound emitted from acoustic device 30a can be output efficiently.

[0034] Furthermore, in FIG. 5(A) or 5(B), for the components housed on the front side of the acoustic device 30a within the housing of the transmitter 10a, acoustic slits or holes can be formed in multiple locations as appropriate and necessary, thereby enabling the sound emitted from the acoustic device 30a to be output efficiently.

[0035] As described above, according to the second embodiment, a display function and an audio function are added to the original function of the transmitter to manually notify a fire, and an all-in-one configuration is realized in which the transmitter, indicator light, and audio device are all integrated and housed in a single transmitter housing. As a result, it is possible to obtain a transmitter that can realize disaster prevention equipment that takes up less space than current products. [Explanation of symbols]
