AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing alarm devices are difficult to miniaturize due to the separate arrangement of a push button, indicator light, and speaker, which occupy different vertical positions within the device storage box.

Method used

The alarm device integrates the push button, indicator light, and speaker within a single housing, with the push button and indicator light positioned together on the front surface and the speaker above them, allowing for a compact design.

Benefits of technology

This configuration facilitates miniaturization and uniform illumination, reduces brightness variations, and positions the speaker at an optimal height for sound output, enhancing usability and reducing obstructions.

Abstract

To provide an alarm device that can be easily miniaturized.SOLUTION: An alarm device 10 comprises a housing 1, a start-up unit 2, an indicator lamp 3, a speaker 5, and a circuit board 4. The start-up unit 2 has a push button 21 arranged on a front face 101 of the housing 1 and including an operating surface 211, and a movable element 22 working with the push button 21. When the push button 21 is operated to push the operating screen 211, the movable element 22 of the start-up unit 2 moves from a first position to a second position. The indicator lamp 3 is arranged on the front face 101 of the housing 1. The indicator lamp 3 has a light emitting part 311 formed into a ring shape surrounding the operating screen 211 in a front view. The speaker 5 is stored in the housing 1. The circuit board 4 is stored in the housing 1. The circuit board 4 causes the speaker 5 to output an alarm sound, using the movement of the movable element 22 from the first position to the second position as a trigger.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
