Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a notification device, and particularly to a notification device that notifies one of a plurality of administrator terminals of a notification with a delay.

[Prior Art and Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventionally, as in the case of hospital notification devices and general in-premise notification devices, notification destinations or management locations vary depending on the time of day, for example, daytime and nighttime. If two or more locations are required in a fluid manner (for example, in a hospital where a reporting device called a nurse call intercom is used, the nurse center during the day and the night shift room at night), each of the reporting locations or management locations A terminal for the administrator was installed so that reports could be sent at the same time, but the administrator's terminal was also installed at a destination that was not used regularly or was installed at the management location, causing problems such as noise, so the administrator Depending on the destination, the operator would change the switch and respond to the call from the caller's terminal.

However, when an administrator moves to change the reporting destination or management location, it is very complicated and troublesome for the administrator to switch the switch one by one when moving to change the reporting destination or management location. There is also a risk that you will not be able to receive a report at another reporting destination or management location you have moved to.

[Purpose of the Invention] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned difficulties, and by providing a delay function to an administrator terminal installed at a reporting destination or a management location that is not regularly used, Reports from terminals can be received with a delay of the delay time on administrator terminals that have a delay function set, and if a response is received during that time, the administrator terminal installed at a destination or management location that is not in regular use can be received. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a reporting device that prevents notifications from being received.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve such an object, a reporting device with a delay function according to the present invention includes at least two administrator terminals, a plurality of informer terminals,
a main device that performs exchange control between the two terminals, the main device is connected to the administrator terminal via a reporting line and a control line, and the main device is connected to the control line. In response to a delay request signal from one of the administrator terminals, the report from the whistleblower terminal to one of the administrator terminals is made faster than the report to the other one of the whistleblower terminals. Driven by a notification delay time generation unit that delays the current time and the notification delay time generation unit,
a notification delay opening/closing unit that closes the notification line of one of the administrator terminals that has issued the delay request signal by delaying the notification line of the other administrator terminal by the predetermined period of time; It is what it is.

A delay control signal DC that outputs CT ₂ or delays a report for a predetermined time in response to a report request signal REQ input from the administrator terminals M ₁ and M ₂ via control lines l ₂ and l ₄ . It is a central processing unit that outputs predetermined control signals in response to various input signals, such as outputting DC ₁ and DC ₂ .

T ₁ is a notification delay time generating section, which includes an AND element A ₁₁ to which the notification control signal CALL and delay control signal DC ₁ are input, and a notification control signal CALL and delay control signal
an AND element A ₁₂ to which an inverted signal of DC ₁ is input;

and the contacts of relay RY ₁ , which opens and closes reporting line l ₁ .
It consists of SW ₁ .

Further, T ₂ is a notification delay time generation unit, which includes logical product elements A ₂₁ , A ₂₂ , notification element DLY ₂ , and logical sum element
Consists of OR ₂ .

U ₂ is the notification delay opening/closing part, and the transistor
Consists of Tr ₂ , relay RY ₂ , and its contact SW ₂ ,
Since the connection is the same as that of the notification delay time generating section T ₁ and the notification delay opening/closing section U ₁ , the explanation thereof will be omitted.
OSC is a notification oscillation unit, and SW ₃ is a contact point of relay RY ₃ driven by transistor Tr ₃ which operates in response to notification control signal CALL.
The output of the OSC is supplied to the reporting lines l ₁ and l ₃ .

The reporting device with the delay function configured as described above operates as follows.

First, a case will be described in which the reporting function is not set on either of the administrator terminals M ₁ and M ₂ . In this state, the delay control signals DC ₁ and DC ₂ output from the central processing unit CPU are at Low level (hereinafter abbreviated as L level). Currently, there is a terminal for whistleblowers.
Report signal from Sub ₁ , Sub ₂ ,...Subn
When SCAN is input to the central processing unit CPU via the terminal interface IF, the central processing unit
The CPU sets the notification control signal CALL to High level (hereinafter abbreviated as H level), drives the transistor Tr ₃ and the relay RY ₃ , sets the contact SW ₃ to the 1 side, and turns the AND elements A ₁₂ and A ₂₂ on. active,
Outputs appear at OR elements OR ₁ and OR ₂ , driving transistors Tr ₁ and Tr ₂ and relays RY ₁ and RY ₂ ,
The contacts SW ₁ and SW ₂ are closed. Therefore, the output from the notification oscillation unit OSC is sent to the administrator terminal _M1 ,
Can be sent to _M2 at the same time. During this time, the line connection control signals CT ₁ and CT ₂ are at L level.

In response to the report response signal RES from the administrator terminal _M1 or _M2 , the central processing unit CPU sets the report control report CALL to L level, releases the drive of the transistor Tr ₃ and the relay RY ₃ , and closes the contact SW. ₃ is returned to the 2 side, and the line connection control signal CT ₁ or CT ₂ corresponding to the responding administrator terminal is set to H level, so that the output still appears in the disjunctive element OR ₁ or OR ₂ . Contact SW ₁ or SW ₂ of relay RY ₁ or RY ₂ remains closed. Also,
Since the central processing unit CPU outputs the selection connection signal SEL corresponding to the notification signal SCAN, the notification terminals Sub ₁ , Sub ₂ , ... Subn and the administrator terminal that responded can make notifications.

Next, a case will be explained in which the reporting function is set on the administrator terminal _M2 . In this state, when the central processing unit CPU receives the delay request signal REQ from the control line _l4 , the central processing unit CPU sets the delay control signal _DC2 to H level. Therefore, when a report signal SCAN from one of the informer terminals Sub ₁ , Sub ₂ , ... Subn is input to the central processing unit CPU via the terminal interface IF, the central processing unit CPU Since the control signal CALL is set to H level, relay RY ₃ is driven as described above, its contact SW ₃ is set to the 1 side, and the AND element is
A ₁₂ and A ₂₁ are activated, and logic element A ₁₂ immediately closes contact SW ₁ of relay RY ₁ , but the output of AND element A ₂₁ is delayed until a predetermined time has elapsed by delay element DLY ₂ . Since it is not input to OR element OR ₂ , if administrator terminal M ₁ responds during that time,
The notification control signal is transmitted by the notification response signal RES.
CALL becomes L level and the administrator terminal
Only line connection control signal CT ₁ corresponding to M ₁ is H
level, the notification is not sent to the administrator terminal _M2 on which the delay function is set. If administrator terminal M ₁ does not respond within a predetermined period of time,
After the predetermined time has elapsed, OR element OR ₂ receives the input signal, so it closes contact SW ₂ of relay RY ₂ , and from then on, notifications are sent to both administrator terminals M ₁ and M ₂ . .

Even if the delay function is set on the administrator terminal _M1 , the same operation as described above is performed, and the notification is first sent to the administrator terminal _M2 , and the administrator terminal _M2 waits for a predetermined time. If there is no response, a notification is also sent to the administrator terminal _M1 .

[Effects of the Invention] As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the reporting device of the present invention, by providing a delay function to an administrator terminal installed at a reporting destination or a management location that is not always used, , the report from the caller's terminal can be received with a delay of the delay time on the administrator's terminal which has a delay function set.
If you respond during that time, the report will not go to the administrator's terminal installed at the destination or management location that is not used all the time, and when you move, you will no longer have to worry about the complexity and hassle of switching switches one by one when you move. In addition, there is no need to worry about not being able to receive a report at another destination or management location due to forgetting to operate the switch or switching the switch incorrectly, and it is safe to use as a nurse call intercom where reports from patients are valued, especially in hospitals. Above all, it is extremely beneficial.
