Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a false alarm prevention device in an emergency call system used in an apartment for elderly people.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In this type of emergency call system, when a resident pushes an emergency call push button in a dwelling unit in an emergency, an electric signal is transmitted to another dwelling unit (for example, a manager's room or a nurse station), It reports to the Life Support Advisor (hereinafter abbreviated as LSA) in the separate unit.

Since the push button can be easily pushed by an elderly person, on the contrary, there is a possibility that the push button may be pushed wrongly in daily life to give a false alarm even in an emergency. Every time the LSA receives a false alarm, it is necessary to confirm the safety of the corresponding resident. Such confirmation work will be a heavy burden as the number of housing units managed by the LSA increases.

Therefore, an emergency push button for solving such a false alarm problem has recently been used. This emergency push button has a built-in electronic circuit timer function and recovery function. Even if you accidentally press the push button by mistake, if you slide the recovery button sideways within 20 seconds, you will not be notified to the LSA side. And is waterproof to protect the electronic circuitry. Then, the push button, the recovery button, and the electronic circuit for the timer function are integrally housed in a waterproof case. It also has a buzzer function that starts to ring when the push button is pressed and does not ring when the recovery button is slid within 20 seconds.

[0005]

The above-mentioned conventional emergency push button has a built-in electronic circuit for a buzzer and a timer function, needs a waterproof function, and has a recovery button for canceling operation. There is a problem that not only the structure is complicated and the cost becomes high, but also the reliability is lowered.

[0006] Also, the operation of sliding the recovery button laterally for canceling operation is complicated and is not suitable for the elderly system, and among general-purpose push button products according to the color tone of the room, etc. There is a problem that it is difficult to freely make design choices, and it is difficult to make selections especially for Japanese-style rooms where grip buttons are common.

Further, there is a problem that the commercially available wireless pendant handset does not have a false alarm preventing function.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a false alarm prevention apparatus that solves the problems of the prior art.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the false alarm prevention device in the emergency call system of the present invention comprises a push button (3, 4, 5) provided in a dwelling unit (1) and a warning buzzer (6). , 7) and the dwelling unit board (2) connected to these,
The housing unit (2) is provided with a control device (19) connected to the living unit board (2) and provided in a life support advisor room or the like, and a main monitoring panel (17) having a buzzer (20) for notifying the life support advisor. 2) and control device (19)

Sound 7).

Functions of the control device (19) A timer function for measuring the timing of the open / closed state of the contacts of the push buttons (3, 4, 5) of each dwelling unit (1) and the push buttons (3, 5).
The signal for activating the warning buzzer (6, 7) is sent to the dwelling unit panel (2) by receiving the signal of the closed state of (4, 5), and then pressed again before a certain warning time T elapses. A function to send a signal to stop the warning buzzer (6, 7) when the signal of the contact closed state of the button (3, 4, 5) is received, and the signal of the first contact closed state of the push button is received. After that, when the signal of the next contact closed state is not received before the predetermined warning time T elapses, the buzzer (20) of the main monitoring panel (17) is sounded to notify the life support advisor. ..

In the second invention, the control device (1
9) After receiving the signal of the contact closed state of the push buttons (3,4,5) and transmitting the signal of the barrel for ringing the warning buzzer (6,7) to the dwelling unit (2), a certain warning is given. When the signal of the contact closed state of the push button (3,4,5) is received again before the undetectable time t, which is relatively shorter than the time T, elapses, the warning buzzer (6,7) is stopped. Programmed not to send a signal.

[0012]

When the resident pushes the push button, the closed state of the contact of the push button is transmitted from the dwelling unit panel (1) to the control device of the main monitoring panel (17).

The control device (19) receives the signal of the closed state, transmits a drive signal for sounding the warning buzzer (6, 7) of the corresponding dwelling unit to the dwelling unit board (2), and sounds the warning buzzer. Let

At this point, if the resident notices that he has pressed the push button by mistake, the resident may press the push button again to cancel the push of the push button. If the resident presses the push button again and the timing at this time is before the elapse of a certain warning time T from the time of the previous push, the control device (19) causes the warning buzzer (6, 7) of the corresponding dwelling unit. A signal for stopping the alarm is transmitted to the dwelling unit board (2) and the warning buzzer (6, 7) is stopped.

The second invention is effective when the resident panics and presses the push button several times in an emergency, for example, 2-3.
By defining the undetectable time in seconds, the inconvenience that the emergency call is canceled in such a case can be avoided.
