Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an alarm device and, especially, to an alarm device with a switch or other devices which can be triggered by a manual touch in an abnormal condition .
  • Modern manual alarm devices have to be usable in various harsh environments. For example, in the case of a high temperature, the plastic components of a manual fire alarm device when heated tends to creep, and the direction of the creeping deformation is usually parallel with the pressing direction of the manual alarm device, and then, even if there is no positive triggering on the alarm button, the alarm device may sound an alarm spontaneously, then the phenomenon of a false alarm occurs, which seriously affects the

  • the present invention intends to provide a manual alarm device, and for it to sound an alarm, the pressing direction by the operator is perpendicular to the triggering direction of the switch, thus avoiding a false alarm caused by the creeping deformation of the plastic components at a high temperature.
  • the operating element can return to the plane which is in its state of monitoring after an operator has completed a pressing operation for sounding an alarm, so that even if in the state for sounding an alarm, the manual alarm device can also achieve good dust- and waterproof effects.
  • the present invention provides a manual alarm device, and since the pressing direction is perpendicular to the direction of triggering the switch for sounding an alarm, the movement of the switch in the triggering direction when an operator presses the alarm device can be further used to produce a distinct visual change compared with the state of monitoring to prompt the user that the alarm device has been put in the state for sounding an alarm, which further improves its reliability and safety when being used.

Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un dispositif d'alarme manuelle, lequel dispositif comprend un ensemble carte de circuits imprimés, un élément de commande et une base, l'ensemble carte de circuits imprimés et l'élément de commande étant disposés dans la base, et le contact ou la séparation entre un élément de contact sur l'élément de commande et une unité de commutateur sur l'ensemble carte de circuits imprimés pouvant conduire à la surveillance et à la mise en marche d'une alarme par le dispositif d'alarme manuelle. L'élément de commande comprend une paire de pattes qui sont disposées respectivement dans les rails de guidage correspondants de la base ; et une extrémité de l'élément de commande comporte en outre un dispositif de localisation destiné à être pressé contre une position correspondante dans la base, de telle sorte que, lorsque l'élément de commande est pressé, le dispositif de localisation puisse amener l'élément de commande à se déplacer dans la direction perpendiculaire à la direction de pressage, permettant ainsi d'amener l'élément de contact sur l'élément de commande à se séparer de ou à venir en contact avec ladite unité de commutateur. Le dispositif d'alarme manuelle proposé par la présente invention permet d'empêcher de manière efficace la survenue de fausses alarmes lorsque le dispositif d'alarme manuelle est utilisé à une température élevée, et peut satisfaire en même temps les exigences d'imperméabilité à la poussière et à l'eau.
