以下，參考圖式說明本發明之實施形態的一個例子。以下的說明雖顯示本發明的較佳之實施形態，但本發明的技術範圍不限於以下的實施形態。 Hereinafter, an example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Although the following description shows preferred embodiments of the present invention, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

(資訊收集系統的全體構成) (The overall structure of the information collection system)

本實施形態之資訊收集系統係使用資訊收集器收集災害現場(例如火災現場)的資訊。對於本實施形態之資訊收集系統1使用圖1以及圖2進行說明。圖1係將於資訊收集基地(以下亦簡稱為基地)所配置的資訊收集系統1之全體構成示意性地顯示的圖。圖2係顯示主機機器的構成的方塊圖。 The information collection system of this embodiment uses an information collector to collect information on disaster sites (such as fire sites). The information collection system 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the overall structure of an information collection system 1 deployed in an information collection base (hereinafter also referred to as a base). Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the host machine.

於圖1所記載的資訊收集系統1係具有資訊收集器100、天線110、中繼站120、主機機器130以及搬送機器200。 The information collection system 1 described in FIG. 1 includes an information collector 100, an antenna 110, a relay station 120, a host machine 130, and a transport machine 200.

資訊收集器100係配置於例如火災現場，並收集關於火災現場的資訊(以下亦稱現場資訊)。資訊收集系統1係具有複數個資訊收集器100。資訊收集器100係具有用以收集現場資訊的一個以上的感測器。就現場資訊而言，可列舉火災現場的溫度、氣體濃度、影像等。此外，資訊收集器100係具有用以進行無線通訊的通訊裝置(通訊機)等。通訊裝置係將含有現場資訊的資料(以下亦稱「發送資料」)予以發送。另外，關於資訊收集器100的詳細構成係於後詳述。 The information collector 100 is arranged at the fire site, for example, and collects information about the fire site (hereinafter also referred to as site information). The information collection system 1 has a plurality of information collectors 100. The information collector 100 has more than one sensor for collecting on-site information. In terms of on-site information, the temperature, gas concentration, and images of the fire site can be listed. In addition, the information collector 100 has a communication device (communicator) for wireless communication, etc. The communication device sends the data containing on-site information (hereinafter also referred to as "send data"). In addition, the detailed structure of the information collector 100 will be described later.

天線110係接收自資訊收集器100的發送資料。天線110亦可內藏於主機機器130。此外，天線110亦可將主機 機器130用以輸送搬送機器200的訊號予以發送。 The antenna 110 receives the transmission data from the information collector 100. The antenna 110 can also be embedded in the host machine 130. In addition, the antenna 110 can also connect the host The machine 130 is used to transmit the signal of the conveying machine 200.

中繼站120係將來自資訊收集器100的發送資料予以中繼。在由資訊收集器100起至天線110為止的距離超過可無線通訊距離的情形中，使用中繼站120。藉由使用中繼站120，可將資訊收集器100的實質性的可無線通訊距離予以延伸。 The relay station 120 relays the transmission data from the information collector 100. When the distance from the information collector 100 to the antenna 110 exceeds the wireless communication distance, the relay station 120 is used. By using the relay station 120, the substantial wireless communication distance of the information collector 100 can be extended.

在例如火災現場離基地遠的情形中，或著火災現場為非常廣範圍的情形中，會有由天線110起至資訊收集器100為止的距離超過可無線通訊距離的情況。該情形中，來自資訊收集器100的發送資料係在中繼站120中繼而到達天線110。藉此，可對應更廣的火災現場。當然，亦可因應火災現場的位置以及廣度、資訊收集器100的可通訊距離而設為不設置中繼站120的構成。 For example, in a situation where the fire site is far away from the base, or in a situation where the fire site is a very wide area, the distance from the antenna 110 to the information collector 100 may exceed the wireless communication distance. In this case, the transmission data from the information collector 100 is relayed at the relay station 120 to reach the antenna 110. In this way, it can respond to a wider fire scene. Of course, according to the location and breadth of the fire scene, and the communication distance of the information collector 100, the relay station 120 may not be provided.

主機機器130係用以收集由複數個資訊收集器100所取得的資訊之伺服器。主機機器130係連接於天線110。主機機器130與天線110係配置在遠離火災現場的安全的基地。然後，主機機器130係取得藉由天線110所接收的發送資料。 The host machine 130 is a server for collecting information obtained by a plurality of information collectors 100. The host machine 130 is connected to the antenna 110. The host machine 130 and the antenna 110 are arranged in a safe base away from the fire scene.

收集資訊記憶部132係將由資訊收集器100所發送的發送資料作為現場資訊而記憶。亦即，主機機器130係將經由天線110所接收的發送資料予以解調(demodulation)。然後，主機機器130係將包含於發送資料的現場資訊記憶於收集資訊記憶部132。如此，主機機器130係藉由無線通訊而取得來自複數個資訊收集器100的現場資訊。 The collected information storage unit 132 stores the transmission data sent by the information collector 100 as on-site information. That is, the host machine 130 demodulates the transmission data received via the antenna 110. Then, the host machine 130 stores the field information included in the transmission data in the collected information storage unit 132. In this way, the host machine 130 obtains on-site information from a plurality of information collectors 100 through wireless communication.

地圖資訊記憶部134係將地圖資訊記憶。另外，地圖資訊亦可為獨自作成的資料，或亦可為可經由網際網路等而入手的通用資料。於地圖資訊中係於位置座標附加對應地形或建築物。 The map information storage unit 134 stores the map information.

Add the corresponding terrain or building to the location coordinates in the map information.

顯示部135係具有LCD(Liquid Crystal Display；液晶顯 示器)等的監視器。顯示部135係將資訊收集器100已收集的資訊予以可視化。例如顯示部135係將火災現場的影像、溫度、氣體濃度於監視器畫面上顯示。藉此，屬於消防隊員的使用者可以知道火災現場的狀況。此外，顯示部135亦可顯示地圖資訊。例如顯示部135係亦可於地圖資訊將影像、溫度、氣體濃度的資訊重疊而顯示。 The display section 135 has LCD (Liquid Crystal Display; liquid crystal display Monitor) etc. The display unit 135 visualizes the information collected by the information collector 100. For example, the display unit 135 displays the image, temperature, and gas concentration of the fire scene on the monitor screen. In this way, users who belong to firefighters can know the situation of the fire scene. In addition, the display unit 135 can also display map information. For example, the display unit 135 may superimpose and display the information of the image, temperature, and gas concentration on the map information.

搬送機器200係將資訊收集器100搬送至火災現場。搬送機器200係可由主機機器130遙控操縱(remote control)的無人搬送機器。例如作為搬送機器200，可使用即使在火災現場等的惡劣環境仍可移動的無人機(drone)或履帶機(crawler)。 The transporting machine 200 transports the information collector 100 to the fire scene. The transport machine 200 is an unmanned transport machine that can be remotely controlled by the host machine 130. For example, as the transporting machine 200, a drone or crawler that can move even in a severe environment such as a fire site can be used.

搬送機器200係將複數個資訊收集器100搬送至火災現場。搬送機器200係將資訊收集器100輸送至火災現場的各式各樣的場所。如此，即使火災現場擴展到廣範圍的領域，亦仍可對每個場所收集最新的資訊。另外，亦可藉由二台以上的搬送機器200將複數個資訊收集器100搬送。 The conveying machine 200 conveys a plurality of information collectors 100 to the fire scene. The conveying machine 200 conveys the information collector 100 to various places at the fire site. In this way, even if the fire scene expands to a wide range of areas, the latest information can still be collected for each location. In addition, a plurality of information collectors 100 may be transported by two or more transporting machines 200.

(資訊收集器100的構成) (The composition of the information collector 100)

接下來，對於資訊收集器100的構成使用圖3進行說明。圖3係顯示資訊收集器100的構成的方塊圖。資訊收集器100係具有框體108。框體108係例如由耐熱性的材料 所形成的殼體(case)。 Next, the structure of the information collector 100 will be described using FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the structure of the information collector 100. The information collector 100 has a frame 108. The frame 108 is made of, for example, a heat-resistant material The formed case.

於框體108內配置有氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104、控制裝置105、通訊裝置106以及二次電池107。氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104、控制裝置105、通訊裝置106係互相藉由匯流排線(bus line)或輸出入介面而連接。 A gas sensor 101, a camera 102, a temperature sensor 103, a position sensor 104, a control device 105, a communication device 106, and a secondary battery 107 are arranged in the housing 108. The gas sensor 101, the camera 102, the temperature sensor 103, the position sensor 104, the control device 105, and the communication device 106 are connected to each other via a bus line or an I/O interface.

氣體感測器101係檢測在火災現場所發生的氣體之氣體濃度。例如氣體感測器101係檢測一氧化碳、二氧化碳、可燃性氣體、氧、硫化氫、氰化氫等的氣體濃度。氣體感測器101係將所檢測的氣體濃度作為氣體資訊輸出至控制裝置105。氣體感測器101亦可對應於所檢測的氣體之每個種類地設置。 The gas sensor 101 detects the gas concentration of the gas generated at the fire site. For example, the gas sensor 101 detects the gas concentration of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, combustible gas, oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen cyanide, and the like. The gas sensor 101 outputs the detected gas concentration to the control device 105 as gas information. The gas sensor 101 may also be provided corresponding to each type of gas to be detected.

攝影機102係進行周邊環境之攝影的光感測器。攝影機102係攝影靜止影像或動畫並轉送至控制裝置105。攝影機102亦可具有廣角鏡頭或魚眼鏡頭等。藉此，攝影機102可以攝影更廣的範圍。此外，攝影機102較佳為可以攝影360°之範圍。當然，亦可為了攝影不同方向而將二台以上的攝影機102搭載於資訊收集器100。攝影機102係將所取得的影像作為影像資訊輸出至控制裝置105。 The camera 102 is a light sensor for photographing the surrounding environment. The camera 102 takes still images or animations and transfers them to the control device 105. The camera 102 may also have a wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens. In this way, the camera 102 can photograph a wider range. In addition, the camera 102 preferably can photograph a range of 360°. Of course, two or more cameras 102 may be mounted on the information collector 100 for shooting in different directions. The camera 102 outputs the acquired image to the control device 105 as image information.

溫度感測器103係測定外氣與框體108內部的溫度。 溫度感測器103係例如具有熱電偶或放射溫度計等。溫度感測器103係將所測定的溫度作為溫度資訊輸出至控制裝置105。 The temperature sensor 103 measures the temperature of the outside air and the inside of the housing 108. The temperature sensor 103 has, for example, a thermocouple or a radiation thermometer. The temperature sensor 103 outputs the measured temperature to the control device 105 as temperature information.

位置感測器104係取得位置資訊的位置感測器。位置感測器104係例如GPS(Global Positioning System；全球定位系統)。位置感測器104係將自身的緯度、經度、高度等作為位置座標而測定。如此，資訊收集器100成為可測定自身的位置。位置感測器104係將所測定的位置資訊輸出至控制裝置105。 The position sensor 104 is a position sensor that obtains position information. The position sensor 104 is, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System; Global Positioning System). The position sensor 104 measures its own latitude, longitude, height, etc. as position coordinates. In this way, the information collector 100 can measure its position. The position sensor 104 outputs the measured position information to the control device 105.

本實施形態的資訊收集器100係只要具有氣體感測器101、攝影機102以及溫度感測器103之中的至少一個以上即可。另外，於以下說明中係將氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104統稱為感測器。 The information collector 100 of the present embodiment only needs to have at least one of the gas sensor 101, the camera 102, and the temperature sensor 103. In addition, in the following description, the gas sensor 101, the camera 102, the temperature sensor 103, and the position sensor 104 are collectively referred to as a sensor.

控制裝置105係控制氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104以及通訊裝置106。另外，控制裝置105係取得氣體感測器101所收集的氣體資訊、攝影機102所收集的影像資訊、溫度感測器103所取得的溫度資訊、位置感測器104所取得的位置資訊(以下亦稱「已收集的資訊」)。控制裝置105係根據已收集的資訊生成發送資料。控制裝置105係將所生成的發送資料輸出至通訊裝置106。控制裝置105係定期地取得已收集的資訊並生 成發送資料。亦即，控制裝置105係根據最新的「已收集的資訊」生成發送資料。 The control device 105 controls the gas sensor 101, the camera 102, the temperature sensor 103, the position sensor 104, and the communication device 106. In addition, the control device 105 obtains the gas information collected by the gas sensor 101, the image information collected by the camera 102, the temperature information obtained by the temperature sensor 103, and the position information obtained by the position sensor 104 (hereinafter also Called "Collected Information"). The control device 105 generates and sends data based on the collected information. The control device 105 outputs the generated transmission data to the communication device 106. The control device 105 regularly obtains the collected information and generates Into send data. That is, the control device 105 generates transmission data based on the latest "collected information".

控制裝置105係具有CPU、記憶體等。例如於記憶體儲存有預定的程式。藉由CPU執行預定的程式而實現作為控制裝置105的各種處理。另外，於記憶體記憶有如表1所示的自己診斷狀況儲存表。 The control device 105 has a CPU, a memory, and the like. For example, a predetermined program is stored in the memory. Various processes as the control device 105 are realized by the CPU executing a predetermined program. In addition, there is a self-diagnosis status storage table shown in Table 1 in the memory.

表1係顯示於每個資訊收集器100記憶於收集資訊記憶部132的自己診斷狀況儲存表。該表係由感測器ID、資訊收集狀況以及自己診斷所構成。感測器ID係用以識別資訊收集器100所具有的感測器的資訊。於氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104係分別附加不同編號作為感測器ID。資訊收集狀況係顯示是否已從各 感測器收集資訊的資訊。當已收集資訊的情形則成為「OK」，無法收集資訊的情形則成為「NG」。 Table 1 shows the self-diagnosis status storage table stored in the collected information storage unit 132 in each information collector 100. The table is composed of sensor ID, information collection status and self-diagnosis. The sensor ID is used to identify the information of the sensor possessed by the information collector 100. The gas sensor 101, the camera 102, the temperature sensor 103, and the position sensor 104 are respectively attached with different numbers as the sensor ID. The information collection status shows whether it has been Information collected by the sensor. When information has been collected, it becomes "OK", and when information cannot be collected, it becomes "NG".

自己診斷係顯示是否已由全部的感測器收集資訊完成的資訊。於全部的感測器中的資訊收集狀況為「OK」的情形中，自己診斷將成為「ALIVE」。在至少一個感測器為無法收集資訊的情形中，自己診斷將成為「DEAD」。 Self-diagnosis is the information that shows whether all the sensors have collected information. When the information collection status of all sensors is "OK", the self-diagnosis will become "ALIVE". In the case where at least one sensor is unable to collect information, self-diagnosis will become "DEAD".

控制裝置105係可以判定感測器(101至104)是否正常動作。控制裝置105係將感測器(101至104)的判定結果記憶於如表1所示之表的「資訊收集狀況」。 The control device 105 can determine whether the sensors (101 to 104) are operating normally. The control device 105 stores the judgment results of the sensors (101 to 104) in the "information collection status" of the table shown in Table 1.

例如，控制裝置105係於當沒有來自某感測器(101至104)的現場資訊的輸出達一定時間以上之情形時，判定為於該感測器產生異常(無法收集資訊狀態)。控制裝置105係對被判定為異常的感測器於表1所示的表之資訊收集狀況設定「NG」。另外，控制裝置105係於當有來自某感測器的現場資訊的輸出的情形中，對該感測器於表1所示的表的資訊收集狀況設定「OK」。 For example, when the control device 105 has no output of field information from a certain sensor (101 to 104) for more than a certain period of time, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred in the sensor (the information cannot be collected state). The control device 105 sets "NG" in the information collection status of the table shown in Table 1 for the sensor judged to be abnormal. In addition, when there is an output of field information from a certain sensor, the control device 105 sets "OK" in the information collection status of the table shown in Table 1 for the sensor.

控制裝置105係可以根據資訊收集狀況進行自己診斷。所謂自己診斷係顯示是否可對於主機裝置130發送來自感測器(101至104)的最新的現場資訊。例如控制裝置105係在表1的資訊收集狀況全部為「OK」的情形中，於自己診 斷設定「ALIVE」。另外，控制裝置105係於表1的資訊收集狀況的至少一個為「NG」的情形中，於自己診斷設定「DEAD」。控制裝置105係在於自己診斷設定了「DEAD」的情形中，生成顯示無法由某感測器(101至104)收集資料一事的「無法收集訊號」作為對主機裝置130發送的發送資料並輸出至通訊裝置106。 The control device 105 can perform its own diagnosis based on the information collection status. The so-called self-diagnosis is to display whether the latest field information from the sensors (101 to 104) can be sent to the host device 130. For example, the control device 105 is in the situation where the information collection status in Table 1 is all "OK", Set "ALIVE" off. In addition, the control device 105 sets "DEAD" in the self-diagnosis when at least one of the information collection conditions in Table 1 is "NG". When the control device 105 is set to "DEAD" for its own diagnosis, it generates an "unable to collect signal" indicating that data cannot be collected by a certain sensor (101 to 104) as the transmission data to the host device 130 and outputs it to Communication device 106.

通訊裝置106係將由控制裝置105輸出的發送資料調變且對主機裝置130無線發送的通訊機。通訊裝置106係進行例如對應於WiFi(Wireless Fidelity；無線保真)(註冊商標)規格的無線通訊的無線機。當然，通訊裝置106亦可藉由WiFi規格以外的通訊規格通訊。通訊裝置106的可通訊距離係例如數百m。在自己診斷設定為「DEAD」的情形中，於發送資料係包含無法收集訊號。另外，於發送資料亦可包含各感測器的資訊收集狀況。 The communication device 106 is a communication device that modulates the transmission data output by the control device 105 and sends it wirelessly to the host device 130. The communication device 106 is, for example, a wireless device that performs wireless communication corresponding to WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) (registered trademark) specifications. Of course, the communication device 106 can also communicate via a communication standard other than the WiFi standard. The communicable distance of the communication device 106 is, for example, several hundred meters. In the case that the self-diagnosis is set to "DEAD", the sending data contains the uncollectible signal. In addition, the sending data can also include the information collection status of each sensor.

此外，通訊裝置106係可以複數個頻段與主機裝置130無線通訊。例如在通訊裝置106為WiFi無線機的情形中，對應2.4GHz頻段以及5GHz頻段的無線通訊。因在火災現場中的熱的影響或金屬物的遮蔽而會有無線通訊品質劣化之虞。於該情形中，由於能不是以單一頻段而是以複數個頻段進行無線通訊，而可以因應狀況切換頻段，故可以最適合狀況的頻段進行無線通訊。藉此，可防止無線通訊品質的劣化。 In addition, the communication device 106 can wirelessly communicate with the host device 130 in multiple frequency bands. For example, in the case where the communication device 106 is a WiFi wireless device, it corresponds to wireless communication in the 2.4 GHz frequency band and the 5 GHz frequency band. The quality of wireless communication may be deteriorated due to the influence of heat in the fire site or the shielding of metal objects. In this case, since wireless communication can be performed in multiple frequency bands instead of a single frequency band, and the frequency band can be switched according to the situation, wireless communication can be performed in the frequency band most suitable for the situation. In this way, the deterioration of wireless communication quality can be prevented.

二次電池107係對氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104、控制裝置105以及通訊裝置106供給電力。二次電池107係產生因應氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104、控制裝置105以及通訊裝置106之動作電壓的DC(direct current；直流)電壓並對各機器供給電力。二次電池107具有未圖示的電源端子，該電源端子係連接於氣體感測器101、攝影機102、溫度感測器103、位置感測器104以及控制裝置105。 The secondary battery 107 supplies power to the gas sensor 101, the camera 102, the temperature sensor 103, the position sensor 104, the control device 105, and the communication device 106. The secondary battery 107 generates a DC (direct current; direct current) voltage corresponding to the operating voltage of the gas sensor 101, the camera 102, the temperature sensor 103, the position sensor 104, the control device 105, and the communication device 106. The machine supplies electricity. The secondary battery 107 has a power terminal (not shown), and the power terminal is connected to the gas sensor 101, the camera 102, the temperature sensor 103, the position sensor 104, and the control device 105.

本實施例中的二次電池107係不具有電解液的固體薄膜電池。藉此，由於即使在火災時的高溫下也不會破裂或漏液，故可防止二次災害。另外，本實施例中的二次電池107雖為由在金屬等所構成的基材上設置的薄膜的積層體所形成，但在火焰所致的燃燒時，雖二次電池107會與金屬製的基材一起燃燒，但不會發生會成為二次火災之原因的破裂或漏液等。此外，亦可防止資訊收集器100的延燒所致的二次災害。另外，關於二次電池107的積層構造將於後述。 The secondary battery 107 in this embodiment is a solid thin-film battery without electrolyte. Thereby, since there is no rupture or leakage even at high temperatures during a fire, secondary disasters can be prevented. In addition, although the secondary battery 107 in this embodiment is formed by a laminate of a thin film provided on a substrate made of metal, etc., during combustion by flame, the secondary battery 107 will interact with the metal. The base material burns together, but there will be no rupture or liquid leakage that can cause secondary fires. In addition, secondary disasters caused by the burning of the information collector 100 can also be prevented. In addition, the layered structure of the secondary battery 107 will be described later.

另外，資訊收集器100的可使用溫度的上限值係例如250℃左右。此情形下，在250℃以下的火災現場，資訊收集器100係正常動作。另外，將電池容量設為40kWh，各感測器、控制裝置105、通訊裝置106的消費電力設為 18kWh(5V×1A)，則資訊收集器100的可動作時間成為約120分左右。 In addition, the upper limit of the usable temperature of the information collector 100 is, for example, about 250°C. In this case, at a fire site below 250°C, the information collector 100 operates normally. In addition, the battery capacity is set to 40kWh, and the power consumption of each sensor, control device 105, and communication device 106 is set to 18kWh (5V×1A), the operation time of the information collector 100 becomes about 120 minutes.

(搬送機器200的構成) (Constitution of transfer machine 200)

接下來，對於將資訊收集器100搬送至火災現場的搬送機器200的構成使用圖4進行說明。圖4係將搬送機器200的構成示意性地顯示的圖。圖4中，搬送機器200成為可遙控操作的無人機。亦即，位於基地的使用者可遙控操縱搬送機器200。 Next, the structure of the conveying machine 200 which conveys the information collector 100 to the fire site is demonstrated using FIG. 4. FIG. Fig. 4 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of the conveying machine 200. In FIG. 4, the transfer machine 200 becomes a drone that can be operated remotely. That is, the user at the base can remotely control the conveying machine 200.

搬送機器200係具有本體部201、拆裝部202、供電線203、螺旋槳(轉子)205以及電池206。另外，由於搬送機器200可使用周知的無人機，故省略詳細說明。 The transport equipment 200 includes a main body 201, an attachment/detachment portion 202, a power supply line 203, a propeller (rotor) 205, and a battery 206. In addition, since a well-known drone can be used for the conveying machine 200, detailed description is omitted.

本體部201係搭載有未圖示的通訊部、攝影機、馬達以及控制器等。螺旋槳205係可旋轉地裝設於本體部201。螺旋槳205係藉由馬達而旋轉。藉由螺旋槳205旋轉，搬送機器200飛行。另外，於本體部201內藏有電池206。電池206係為了使螺旋槳205旋轉而對馬達供電。 The main body 201 is equipped with a communication unit, a camera, a motor, a controller, and the like not shown. The propeller 205 is rotatably installed on the main body 201. The propeller 205 is rotated by a motor. With the rotation of the propeller 205, the transport machine 200 flies. In addition, a battery 206 is hidden in the main body 201. The battery 206 supplies power to the motor in order to rotate the propeller 205.

於本體部201係經由拆裝部202裝設有資訊收集器100。拆裝部202係拆裝資訊收集器100。拆裝部202係被使用者遙控操作。亦即，藉由使用者的遙控操作，資訊收集器100係解除來自拆裝部202的保持。 The main body part 201 is equipped with an information collector 100 through the disassembly part 202. The disassembling and disassembling part 202 is the disassembling and disassembling information collector 100. The dismounting unit 202 is remotely operated by the user. That is, by the user's remote control operation, the information collector 100 releases the hold from the dismounting part 202.

例如，在搬送機器200搬送資訊收集器100的情形中，使用者係將資訊收集器100裝設於拆裝部202。藉此，拆裝部202係保持資訊收集器100。然後，一旦搬送機器200移動至火災現場，則藉由使用者的遙控操作而使拆裝部202解除對資訊收集器100的保持。藉此，資訊收集器100被投下至火災現場。搬送機器200可將資訊收集器100輸送至火災現場。拆裝部202亦可藉由來自電池206的電力而動作。 For example, in a situation in which the conveying machine 200 conveys the information collector 100, the user installs the information collector 100 in the dismounting part 202. In this way, the dismounting part 202 holds the information collector 100. Then, once the conveyance machine 200 moves to the scene of the fire, the dismounting unit 202 releases the holding of the information collector 100 by the remote control operation of the user. In this way, the information collector 100 is dropped to the fire scene. The conveying machine 200 can convey the information collector 100 to the fire scene. The detachment unit 202 can also be operated by electric power from the battery 206.

此外，資訊收集器100與電池206係經由供電線203而連接。如此，可於搬送機器200的移動中將資訊收集器100的二次電池107充電。亦即，藉由自電池206所供給的電力而使二次電池107被充電。另外，亦可用與作為螺旋槳205之驅動源的電池206不同的電池206作為二次電池107的充電用的電池206。亦即，搬送機器200亦可具有二個以上的電池206。另外，供電線203係成為可藉由遙控操作而自資訊收集器100切離。亦即，在解除拆裝部202的保持並將資訊收集器100投下的情形中，將供電線203事先由資訊收集器100切離。 In addition, the information collector 100 and the battery 206 are connected via a power supply line 203. In this way, the secondary battery 107 of the information collector 100 can be charged while the conveying machine 200 is moving. That is, the secondary battery 107 is charged by the electric power supplied from the battery 206. In addition, a battery 206 that is different from the battery 206 that is the driving source of the propeller 205 may be used as the battery 206 for charging the secondary battery 107. That is, the conveying machine 200 may also have more than two batteries 206. In addition, the power supply line 203 can be disconnected from the information collector 100 by a remote control operation. That is, in the case where the holding of the dismounting unit 202 is released and the information collector 100 is dropped, the power supply line 203 is cut off from the information collector 100 in advance.

(搬送機器的變形例) (Variations of transport equipment)

接下來，對於另一實施形態之搬送機器200A使用圖5進行說明。圖5為將搬送機器200A的構成示意性地顯示 的圖。圖5中，搬送機器200A成為可遙控操作的履帶機。亦即，位於基地的使用者可遙控操縱搬送機器200A。 Next, the conveyance machine 200A of another embodiment is demonstrated using FIG. 5. FIG. Figure 5 schematically shows the structure of the conveying machine 200A Figure. In FIG. 5, the conveyance machine 200A becomes a crawler machine which can be operated remotely. That is, the user at the base can remotely control the transfer machine 200A.

搬送機器200A係具有本體部211、拆裝部212、供電線213、投擲器214、車輪215以及電池216。另外，由於搬送機器200A可使用周知的履帶機，故省略詳細說明。 The conveying machine 200A has a main body 211, an attaching/detaching unit 212, a power supply line 213, a thrower 214, wheels 215, and a battery 216. In addition, since a well-known crawler machine can be used for the conveying machine 200A, detailed description is omitted.

本體部211係搭載有未圖示的通訊部、攝影機、馬達以及控制器等。於本體部211係可旋轉地裝設有車輪215。車輪215係藉由馬達而旋轉。藉由車輪215旋轉，而使搬送機器210行駛。另外，於本體部211內藏有電池216。電池216係對用以使車輪215旋轉的馬達供電。另外，電池216係對未圖示的通訊部、攝影機、馬達、控制器等供給電力。 The main body 211 is equipped with a communication unit, a camera, a motor, a controller, and the like not shown. Wheels 215 are rotatably mounted on the main body 211. The wheel 215 is rotated by a motor. The wheel 215 rotates, so that the conveying machine 210 travels. In addition, a battery 216 is hidden in the main body 211. The battery 216 supplies power to a motor for rotating the wheels 215. In addition, the battery 216 supplies electric power to a communication unit, a camera, a motor, a controller, and the like, not shown.

於本體部211係經由拆裝部212裝設有資訊收集器100。拆裝部212係拆裝資訊收集器100。此外，於本體部211係裝設有投擲器214。投擲器214係將資訊收集器100投擲至目標位置。 An information collector 100 is installed on the main body 211 through the disassembly and assembly 212. The disassembling part 212 is the disassembling and disassembling information collector 100. In addition, a thrower 214 is installed on the main body 211. The thrower 214 throws the information collector 100 to the target position.

例如，在搬送機器200A搬送資訊收集器100的情形中，使用者係將資訊收集器100裝設於拆裝部212。藉此，拆裝部212係保持資訊收集器100。然後，一旦搬送機器200A移動至火災現場的周邊，則藉由使用者的遙控操作而使拆 裝部212解除資訊收集器100的保持。然後，投擲器214投擲資訊收集器100。藉此，資訊收集器100被設置於火災現場。搬送機器200A可將資訊收集器100輸送至火災現場。拆裝部212以及投擲器214亦可藉由來自電池216的電力而動作。 For example, in a situation in which the conveying machine 200A conveys the information collector 100, the user installs the information collector 100 in the dismounting part 212. In this way, the dismounting unit 212 holds the information collector 100. Then, once the transfer machine 200A moves to the periphery of the fire site, it is dismantled by the user’s remote control operation. The installation part 212 releases the holding of the information collector 100. Then, the thrower 214 throws the information collector 100. In this way, the information collector 100 is installed at the fire scene. The transport machine 200A can transport the information collector 100 to the fire scene. The detachable part 212 and the thrower 214 can also be operated by electric power from the battery 216.

此外，資訊收集器100與電池216係經由供電線213而連接。如此，可於搬送機器200A的移動中將資訊收集器100的二次電池107充電。亦即，藉由自電池216供給的電力而使二次電池107被充電。另外，亦可用與作為車輪215之電力源的電池216不同的電池216作為二次電池107的充電用的電池216。亦即，搬送機器200A亦可具有二次電池107專用的充電用的電池216。 In addition, the information collector 100 and the battery 216 are connected via a power supply line 213. In this way, the secondary battery 107 of the information collector 100 can be charged during the movement of the conveying machine 200A. That is, the secondary battery 107 is charged by the electric power supplied from the battery 216. In addition, a battery 216 different from the battery 216 used as the power source of the wheels 215 may be used as the battery 216 for charging the secondary battery 107. That is, the conveyance machine 200A may have a battery 216 for charging dedicated to the secondary battery 107.

另外，對於搬送機器200、200A(以下亦統稱為搬送機器200)，不限於無人機或履帶機，亦可使用周知的搬送機器。搬送機器200係藉由自動操縱或遙控操縱而將資訊收集器100輸送至作為目的位置。然後，一旦資訊收集器100自搬送機器200被切離，則藉由二次電池107對資訊收集器100供給電力。 In addition, the conveying machines 200 and 200A (hereinafter also collectively referred to as conveying machines 200) are not limited to drones or crawler machines, and well-known conveying machines may be used. The conveying machine 200 conveys the information collector 100 to a destination position by automatic operation or remote control. Then, once the information collector 100 is disconnected from the conveying machine 200, the information collector 100 is supplied with electric power by the secondary battery 107.

(資訊收集器100的搬送順序) (Transport order of information collector 100)

接下來，對於使用搬送機器200搬送資訊收集器100的順序使用圖6進行說明。圖6以及圖7係用以說明搬送 機器200搬送資訊收集器100的順序的圖。 Next, the procedure of transporting the information collector 100 using the transporting machine 200 will be described using FIG. 6. Figure 6 and Figure 7 are used to illustrate the transport A diagram of the sequence in which the machine 200 transports the information collector 100.

首先，於基地2中，搬送機器200係搭載資訊收集器100(圖6的狀態A)。例如，使用者將資訊收集器100裝設於搬送機器200。然後，搬送機器200向火災現場3移動(圖6的狀態B)。此時，搬送機器200係將資訊收集器100的二次電池107進行充電。然後，一旦搬送機器200將資訊收集器100輸送至火災現場3，則將資訊收集器100投下至火災現場3(圖6的狀態C)。亦即，搬送機器200的拆裝部202係解除對資訊收集器100的保持。 First, in the base 2, the conveying machine 200 is equipped with the information collector 100 (state A in FIG. 6). For example, the user installs the information collector 100 on the conveying machine 200. Then, the conveying machine 200 moves to the fire scene 3 (state B in FIG. 6). At this time, the conveying machine 200 charges the secondary battery 107 of the information collector 100. Then, once the conveying machine 200 transports the information collector 100 to the fire scene 3, the information collector 100 is dropped to the fire scene 3 (state C in FIG. 6). That is, the dismounting unit 202 of the conveying machine 200 releases the holding of the information collector 100.

搬送機器200一旦將資訊收集器100投下至火災現場3則返回基地2，並搭載別的資訊收集器100(圖7的狀態D)。然後，如圖6的狀態B以及圖6的狀態C所示，搬送機器200係將下一個資訊收集器100投下至火災現場3。藉由重複這些處理而於火災現場3設置複數個資訊收集器100(圖7的狀態E)。由於複數個資訊收集器100係設置於火災現場3的不同場所，故可以更詳細地掌握火災現場3的狀況。 Once the transport machine 200 drops the information collector 100 to the fire scene 3, it returns to the base 2 and carries another information collector 100 (state D in FIG. 7). Then, as shown in the state B of FIG. 6 and the state C of FIG. 6, the transport equipment 200 drops the next information collector 100 to the fire scene 3. By repeating these processes, a plurality of information collectors 100 are installed on the fire site 3 (state E in FIG. 7). Since a plurality of information collectors 100 are installed in different places of the fire site 3, the situation of the fire site 3 can be grasped in more detail.

另外，圖6中雖以一台搬送機器200搬送資訊收集器100，但亦可用複數個搬送機器200並行地搬送資訊收集器100。藉此，可以更短時間將複數個資訊收集器100設置於火災現場3。 In addition, although one conveying machine 200 is used to convey the information collector 100 in FIG. 6, a plurality of conveying machines 200 may be used to convey the information collector 100 in parallel. Thereby, a plurality of information collectors 100 can be installed on the fire site 3 in a shorter time.

另外，資訊收集器100亦可使用如圖5所示的履帶機類型的搬送機器200A搬送。或著，亦可使用如圖4所示的無人機類型的搬送機器200、如圖5所示的履帶機類型的搬送機器200A的兩方而搬送。亦即，亦可因應設置場所而選擇使用搬送機器200A與搬送機器200。 In addition, the information collector 100 can also be transported using a conveyor machine 200A of a crawler type as shown in FIG. 5. Alternatively, it is also possible to use both of the drone type transport machine 200 shown in FIG. 4 and the crawler type transport machine 200A shown in FIG. 5 for transport. That is, the conveying machine 200A and the conveying machine 200 can also be selected for use according to the installation place.

此外，亦可用一台搬送機器200將複數個資訊收集器100同時進行搬送。亦即，亦可於一台資訊收集器100設置複數個拆裝部202。然後，一台搬送機器200移動至火災現場3的上空，重複進行資訊收集器100的投下、移動。藉此，可以更短時間將複數個資訊收集器100設置於火災現場3。 In addition, a transport machine 200 can also be used to transport a plurality of information collectors 100 at the same time. That is, a plurality of disassembly and assembly parts 202 can also be provided in one information collector 100. Then, a transport machine 200 moves to the sky above the fire site 3, and the dropping and movement of the information collector 100 are repeated. Thereby, a plurality of information collectors 100 can be installed on the fire site 3 in a shorter time.

(顯示畫面例) (Display screen example)

於圖8顯示有用以顯示已收集的資訊的顯示畫面的一例。於圖8中，係顯示有顯示部135顯示了由九個資訊收集器100所收集的現場資訊之例。具體而言，在以資訊收集器100的攝影機102所取得的影像使溫度與氣體濃度重疊顯示。當然，顯示部135只要能顯示資訊收集器100所取得的一部分或全部即可。顯示的影像可為靜止影像或亦可為動畫。 An example of a display screen useful for displaying the collected information is shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, the display unit 135 shows an example of on-site information collected by nine information collectors 100. Specifically, the temperature and the gas concentration are displayed superimposed on the image obtained by the camera 102 of the information collector 100. Of course, the display unit 135 only needs to display part or all of the information acquired by the information collector 100. The displayed image can be a still image or an animation.

顯示的資訊亦可由使用者指定。更進一步，顯示部135 亦可將火災現場的地圖資訊與現場資訊一起顯示。亦即，亦可根據位置感測器104所取得的位置資訊，使顯示部135在地圖上的收集位置或其附近顯示現場資訊。藉由如上所述的方式，使用者可掌握於火災現場3中的被害大的處所等。 The information displayed can also be specified by the user. Furthermore, the display part 135 The map information of the fire scene can also be displayed together with the scene information. That is, based on the position information obtained by the position sensor 104, the display unit 135 may display the on-site information at or near the collection position on the map. By the above-mentioned method, the user can grasp the location of the fire site 3 where the damage is severe.

(現場資訊的資料表) (Data sheet for site information)

接下來，對於由資訊收集器100所發送的主機機器130所記憶的現場資訊使用表2進行說明。表2係用以說明由資訊收集器100所發送的(藉由資訊收集器100所具有的複數個感測器所收集的)現場資訊的一例的資料表。具體而言，於收集資訊記憶部132的記憶體150係儲存有如表2所示的表。另外，於顯示部135亦可顯示於表2所示的表所記憶的資訊。 Next, the on-site information usage table 2 stored in the host machine 130 sent by the information collector 100 will be described. Table 2 is a data table used to describe an example of on-site information sent by the information collector 100 (collected by a plurality of sensors of the information collector 100). Specifically, the memory 150 of the collected information storage unit 132 stores a table as shown in Table 2. In addition, the information stored in the table shown in Table 2 can also be displayed on the display unit 135.

如表2所示的表般，於複數個資訊收集器100係記憶有識別各者用的ID。在此，作為ID而儲存有1至N(N為2以上的整數)的資訊收集器編號。 Like the table shown in Table 2, a plurality of information collectors 100 are stored with IDs for identifying each person. Here, as the ID, information collector numbers from 1 to N (N is an integer greater than 2) are stored.

此外，於每個資訊收集器100係儲存有：位置資訊、攝影影像、自己診斷、溫度(℃)、CO濃度(%)、CO2濃度(%)、硫化氫濃度(Vol%)、ALIVE值的資料。亦即，於每個資訊收集器編號100附加對應有位置資訊、攝影影像、自己診斷、溫度(℃)、CO濃度(%)、CO2濃度(%)、硫化氫濃度(Vol%)、ALIVE值的資料並記憶於表2所示的表。 In addition, each information collector 100 series stores: location information, photographic images, self-diagnosis, temperature (℃), CO concentration (%), CO2 concentration (%), hydrogen sulfide concentration (Vol%), ALIVE value data. That is, each information collector number 100 is attached to correspond to location information, photographed images, self-diagnosis, temperature (℃), CO concentration (%), CO2 concentration (%), hydrogen sulfide concentration (Vol%), ALIVE value The data is stored in the table shown in Table 2.

在此，位置資訊係位置感測器104所取得的位置資訊的資料。在此，作為位置資訊係顯示XYZ座標。攝影影像係攝影機102所攝影的靜止影像或動畫的資料檔案。 Here, the position information is data of the position information obtained by the position sensor 104. Here, XYZ coordinates are displayed as position information. The photographic image is a data file of a still image or animation photographed by the camera 102.

自己診斷係顯示關於例如由各資訊收集器100所發送的自己診斷(參照表1)的資訊。自己診斷係儲存有「ALIVE」或「DEAD」。關於自己診斷為「ALIVE」的資訊收集器100，係顯示主機機器130可由該資訊收集器100所具有的全部 的感測器收集到現場資訊的狀態。 The self-diagnosis system displays information about self-diagnosis (refer to Table 1) sent by each information collector 100, for example. "ALIVE" or "DEAD" is stored in the self-diagnosis system. Regarding the information collector 100 diagnosed as "ALIVE", it shows all the information that the host machine 130 can possess The sensor collects the status of the field information.

另外，關於自己診斷為「DEAD」的資訊收集器100，係顯示該資訊收集機器100所具有的感測器有至少一個無法收集現場資訊的狀態。在此，資訊收集器編號為1、4的資訊收集器100中，自己診斷結果成為DEAD。自己診斷結果為「DEAD」係顯示：例如搬送機器200將資訊收集器100投下或投擲時資訊收集器100所具有的感測器(101至104)的至少一個損傷至無法收集現場資訊的程度的狀態。或著，顯示在設置資訊收集器100的時點設置場所的溫度過高而使感測器無法正常地動作的狀態。 In addition, regarding the information collector 100 that has been diagnosed as "DEAD", it shows that at least one of the sensors of the information collecting machine 100 cannot collect on-site information. Here, in the information collector 100 whose information collector numbers are 1, 4, the self-diagnosis result becomes DEAD. The self-diagnosis result is "DEAD": for example, when the conveying machine 200 drops or throws the information collector 100, at least one of the sensors (101 to 104) of the information collector 100 is damaged to the extent that it cannot collect on-site information status. Or, it indicates that the temperature of the installation place at the time when the information collector 100 is installed is too high and the sensor cannot operate normally.

溫度係關於溫度感測器103所收集的溫度的資訊。CO濃度、CO2濃度以及硫化氫濃度係顯示氣體感測器101所收集的一氧化碳氣體、二氧化碳氣體、硫化氫氣體的濃度的資訊。當然，亦可將檢測其他氣體的濃度的氣體感測器101搭載於資訊收集器100，並將資料記憶於如表2所示的表。 The temperature is information about the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 103. The CO concentration, CO2 concentration, and hydrogen sulfide concentration are information showing the concentration of carbon monoxide gas, carbon dioxide gas, and hydrogen sulfide gas collected by the gas sensor 101. Of course, a gas sensor 101 that detects the concentration of other gases can also be mounted on the information collector 100, and the data can be stored in the table shown in Table 2.

ALIVE值係顯示現場資訊之更新次數的資料。主機機器130係於每次接收來自資訊收集器100的發送資料時，主機機器130係將ALIVE值增量(increment)。資訊收集器100的控制裝置105係在可由感測器收集現場資訊的情形中，設定(set)ALIVE值。資訊收集器100係對主機機器130 發送發送資料以及所設定的ALIVE值。資訊收集器發送的ALIVE值只要是可供識別以前發送的發送資料與本次發送的發送資料的值(例如ID)即可。例如，作為ALIVE值，可使用資訊收集器100對主機機器130發送了發送資料的次數。 The ALIVE value is the data showing the number of updates of the live information. The host machine 130 increments the ALIVE value every time it receives the transmission data from the information collector 100. The control device 105 of the information collector 100 sets the ALIVE value in a situation where the on-site information can be collected by the sensor. Information collector 100 is to host machine 130 Send the sending data and the set ALIVE value. The ALIVE value sent by the information collector only needs to be a value (for example, ID) that can be used to identify the previously sent transmission data and the current transmission data. For example, as the ALIVE value, the number of times the information collector 100 has sent data to the host machine 130 can be used.

主機機器130係在接收了ALIVE值的情形中，於藉由ALIVE值而判定該發送資料並非以前有接收過的資料而為最新的發送資料的情形中，將如表2所示的表的ALIVE值更新(增量)。 When the host machine 130 receives the ALIVE value, if it is determined by the ALIVE value that the transmission data is not the data that has been received before but is the latest transmission data, the ALIVE value of the table shown in Table 2 Value update (incremental).

使用者可以根據最大值的ALIVE值判定是否有從各資訊收集器100收集到最新的發送資料(現場資訊)。例如在表2所示的表中，最大值的ALIVE值為資訊收集器編號3、N的資訊收集器100而得的「10」。另一方面，資訊收集器編號2的資訊收集器100而得的ALIVE值為「5」；資訊收集器編號1的資訊收集器100而得的ALIVE值為「2」，資訊收集器編號4的資訊收集器100而得的ALIVE值為「0」。資訊收集器編號1、2、4的資訊收集器100的ALIVE值係相較於最大值的ALIVE值「10」為ALIVE值較小。該情形中，使用者可以判定為從資訊收集器編號1、2、4的資訊收集器100並未收集到最新的發送資料(現場資訊)。 The user can determine whether the latest transmission data (on-site information) has been collected from each information collector 100 based on the maximum ALIVE value. For example, in the table shown in Table 2, the maximum ALIVE value is "10" obtained from the information collector 100 with information collector numbers 3 and N. On the other hand, the ALIVE value of the information collector 100 of the information collector number 2 is "5"; the ALIVE value of the information collector 100 of the information collector number 1 is "2", and the ALIVE value of the information collector number 4 The ALIVE value obtained by the information collector 100 is "0". The ALIVE value of the information collector 100 of the information collector numbers 1, 2, and 4 is smaller than the maximum ALIVE value "10". In this case, the user can determine that the latest transmission data (site information) has not been collected from the information collector 100 of the information collector numbers 1, 2, and 4.

若複數個資訊收集器100的收集開始時序(timing)不同， 則亦有發送資料的發送次數不同的情形。例如，較早配置於火災現場的資訊收集器100有比起較晚配置的資訊收集器100發送資料的發送次數變多的情形。該種情形中，使用者只要考慮資訊收集器的收集開始時序判定是否收集到最新的發送資料(現場資訊)即可。主機機器130亦可將達一定時間以上未增加ALIVE值的資訊收集器100報告給使用者知道。 If the collection start timings of a plurality of information collectors 100 are different, There are also cases where the number of times of sending data is different. For example, the information collector 100 deployed earlier on the fire site may send more data than the information collector 100 deployed later. In this case, the user only needs to consider the collection start timing of the information collector to determine whether the latest transmission data (site information) has been collected. The host machine 130 may also report to the user the information collector 100 that has not increased the ALIVE value for a certain period of time.

表2所示的資料表係每一定時間更新。例如，每當主機機器130由資訊收集器100接收了發送資料時則更新資料表。此外，收集資訊記憶部132亦可將來自各資訊收集器100的發送資料分開蓄積而保存。亦即，亦可對每個資訊收集器100準備資料表，於該表記憶來自各資訊收集器100的發送資料。此時，例如收集資訊記憶部132亦可對發送資料的取得時間附加對應而將發送資料依順序儲存於各資料表。藉此，使用者可以確認現場資訊的時間變化。 The data table shown in Table 2 is updated every certain time. For example, the data table is updated every time the host machine 130 receives transmission data from the information collector 100. In addition, the collected information storage unit 132 may also separately accumulate and store the transmission data from each information collector 100. That is, it is also possible to prepare a data table for each information collector 100, and store the transmission data from each information collector 100 in the table. At this time, for example, the collected information storage unit 132 may also correspond to the acquisition time of the transmission data and store the transmission data in each data table in order. In this way, the user can confirm the time change of the site information.

控制裝置105係在將自己診斷結果作為發送資料發送至主機機器130時，發送資訊取得狀況為「NG」的感測器ID。主機機器130係對產生異常的感測器ID設定NG值(參照表2所示的表)。例如，在資訊收集器編號為1的資訊收集器100中，於溫度感測器103產生異常。該情形中，由於控制裝置105無法適切地取得溫度資訊，故主機機器130係於如表2所示的表設定NG值。具體而言，資訊收集器 編號為1的資訊收集器100的溫度感測器103的資訊收集狀況成為NG。 When the control device 105 transmits the self-diagnosis result to the host machine 130 as transmission data, it transmits the sensor ID whose information acquisition status is "NG". The host machine 130 sets the NG value for the sensor ID that has the abnormality (refer to the table shown in Table 2). For example, in the information collector 100 whose information collector number is 1, an abnormality occurs in the temperature sensor 103. In this case, since the control device 105 cannot obtain the temperature information appropriately, the host machine 130 sets the NG value in the table shown in Table 2. Specifically, the information collector The information collection status of the temperature sensor 103 of the information collector 100 with the number 1 becomes NG.

(滅火活動) (Fire fighting activities)

接下來，對於使用本實施形態之資訊收集系統1的滅火活動的處理，使用圖9進行說明。圖9為滅火活動的順序的流程圖。 Next, the processing of the fire extinguishing activity using the information collection system 1 of this embodiment will be described using FIG. 9. Figure 9 is a flow chart of the sequence of fire fighting activities.

首先，當發生火災，使用者確認火災發生場所(S11)。然後，消防隊對於火災發生場所開始滅火活動(S12)。接下來，使用者判定是否需要資訊收集器100所進行的現場資訊的收集(S13)。S13中，例如使用者因應火災發生場所、火災的規模而進行判定。 First, when a fire occurs, the user confirms the location of the fire (S11). Then, the fire brigade starts a fire fighting activity for the place where the fire occurred (S12). Next, the user determines whether the collection of on-site information by the information collector 100 is necessary (S13). In S13, for example, the user makes a judgment in accordance with the location of the fire and the scale of the fire.

在現場資訊的收集並非必要的情形(S13：否)，消防隊維持原樣地繼續滅火作業(S14)。在需要現場資訊的收集的情形(S13：是)，資訊收集系統1進行現場資訊的收集作業(S15)。然後，根據所收集的現場資訊，消防隊進行滅火作業(S16)。另外，對於現場資訊收集作業的詳細將使用圖10於後詳述，對於根據現場資訊的滅火作業的詳細將使用圖13於後詳述。 In situations where the collection of on-site information is not necessary (S13: No), the fire brigade continues the fire fighting operation as it is (S14). In the case where the on-site information collection is required (S13: Yes), the information collection system 1 performs on-site information collection operation (S15). Then, based on the collected site information, the fire brigade conducts fire fighting operations (S16). In addition, the details of the site information collection operation will be described later using FIG. 10, and the details of the fire extinguishing operation based on the site information will be described later using FIG. 13.

接下來，使用者判定在S14或S16的滅火作業的結果是否已將火災撲滅(S17)。當判定為火災已撲滅的情形(S17： 是)，則滅火活動結束(S18)。當判定為未撲滅的情形(S17：否)，返回S13的處理。然後，使用者係依循S14至S17的流程進行滅火活動直到可判定為火災撲滅。 Next, the user determines whether the fire has been extinguished as a result of the fire extinguishing operation in S14 or S16 (S17). When it is judged that the fire has been extinguished (S17: Yes), the fire extinguishing activity ends (S18). When it is determined that it has not been extinguished (S17: No), the process returns to S13. Then, the user follows the process of S14 to S17 to perform fire fighting activities until the fire can be determined to be extinguished.

(資訊收集作業) (Information collection operation)

接下來，對於S15的現場資訊的收集作業使用圖10進行說明。圖10為S15的資訊收集作業的順序的流程圖。 Next, the collection operation of site information in S15 will be described using FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the sequence of the information collection operation in S15.

首先，使用者因應火災發生場所、火災規模而決定資訊收集器100的配置位置、配置數量以及搬送方法(S31)。接下來，如圖6中的A所示，於基地2中，使用者係將資訊收集器100搭載於無人機、履帶機等的搬送機器200(S32)。如圖6中的B所示，搭載了資訊收集器100的搬送機器200係移動至火災現場(S33)。 First, the user decides the location, number, and transportation method of the information collector 100 in accordance with the location of the fire and the scale of the fire (S31). Next, as shown in A in FIG. 6, in the base 2, the user mounts the information collector 100 on a conveying machine 200 such as a drone or a crawler (S32). As shown in B in FIG. 6, the conveyance machine 200 equipped with the information collector 100 moves to the fire site (S33).

另外，在搬送機器200的移動中，搬送機器200係對資訊收集器100實施充電(S34)。亦即，搬送機器200係經由供電線203或供電線213而將資訊收集器100的二次電池107充電。一旦搬送機器200到達了火災現場中的應配置資訊收集器100的位置(以下亦稱配置位置)(S35)，則切離供電線203、213，解除由拆裝部202、212所進行的資訊收集器100的保持(S36)。在此，使用者可藉由遙控操縱而切離供電線203、213，解除拆裝部202、212所進行的保持。 In addition, during the movement of the transport machine 200, the transport machine 200 charges the information collector 100 (S34). That is, the conveying machine 200 charges the secondary battery 107 of the information collector 100 via the power supply line 203 or the power supply line 213. Once the conveying machine 200 reaches the position where the information collector 100 should be placed in the fire scene (hereinafter also referred to as the placement position) (S35), the power supply lines 203 and 213 are disconnected, and the information carried out by the disassembly and assembly sections 202 and 212 is released The retention of the collector 100 (S36). Here, the user can cut off the power supply lines 203 and 213 by remote control operation, and release the holding by the detachable parts 202 and 212.

然後，如圖6中的C所示，搬送機器200將資訊收集器100投下或投擲於配置位置(S37)。被投下於配置位置的資訊收集器100係開始現場資訊的收集動作(S38)。另外，對於資訊收集器100的動作的詳細將使用圖11於後詳述。如圖7中的D所示，無人機、履帶機等的搬送機器200係往基地2歸還(S39)。 Then, as shown in C in FIG. 6, the transport machine 200 drops or throws the information collector 100 at the placement position (S37). The information collector 100 dropped at the placement position starts the collection operation of on-site information (S38). In addition, the details of the operation of the information collector 100 will be described later using FIG. 11. As shown in D in FIG. 7, the conveying equipment 200 such as an unmanned aerial vehicle and a crawler is returned to the base 2 (S39).

然後，使用者判定資訊收集器100對於火災現場是否已達到必要的配置數量，或著判定是否需要配置追加的資訊收集器100(S40)。當已達到必要的配置數量且不需要追加的配置的情形(S40：是)，則處理結束。在未達到必要的配置數量的情形或需要追加的配置的情形(S40：否)中，則重複S31起的處理至配置必要數量為止。 Then, the user determines whether the information collector 100 has reached the necessary number of arrangements for the fire site, or whether it is necessary to arrange additional information collectors 100 (S40). When the necessary number of configurations has been reached and no additional configurations are needed (S40: Yes), the process ends. In the case where the necessary number of arrangements has not been reached or the situation where additional arrangements are required (S40: No), the processing from S31 is repeated until the necessary number is arranged.

在此，所謂「必要的配置數量」係指例如對於配置位置的火災的撲滅所必要的資訊收集器100的數量。另外，「配置追加的資訊收集器100」係指例如配置位置的火災未撲滅且對於該配置位置追加配置資訊收集器100。 Here, the "required number of arrangement" refers to the number of information collectors 100 necessary for extinguishing a fire at the arrangement position, for example. In addition, "arrangement of the additional information collector 100" means, for example, that the fire at the arrangement position has not been extinguished and the information collector 100 is additionally arranged at the arrangement position.

本實施形態之二次電池107由於可急速充電，故可在搬送機器200將資訊收集器100輸送至火災現場的時間進行充電。 Since the secondary battery 107 of this embodiment can be quickly charged, it can be charged at the time when the conveying equipment 200 transports the information collector 100 to the fire site.

藉由使用如上所述的二次電池107作為資訊收集器 100的二次電池，則不需要事前將二次電池107預先充電。亦即，只要在即將將資訊收集器100輸送至火災發生場前將資訊收集器100搭載至無人機、履帶機等的搬送機器200即可。 By using the secondary battery 107 as described above as an information collector For a secondary battery of 100, it is not necessary to charge the secondary battery 107 in advance. That is, it is only necessary to mount the information collector 100 on a conveying machine 200 such as an unmanned aerial vehicle or a crawler immediately before conveying the information collector 100 to the fire site.

例如，即使在資訊收集器100的數量多的情形，亦沒有需要將全部的資訊收集器100預先充電。藉此，可輕易地進行資訊收集器100的管理，且可在火災發生時迅速地將多數個資訊收集器100搭載於搬送機器200。由於本實施形態之二次電池107為具有後述之構造的固體薄膜電池，故可在輸送中充電到足夠動作充分時間的充電容量。 For example, even when the number of information collectors 100 is large, there is no need to charge all the information collectors 100 in advance. Thereby, the management of the information collector 100 can be easily performed, and a plurality of information collectors 100 can be quickly mounted on the conveying machine 200 when a fire occurs. Since the secondary battery 107 of this embodiment is a solid thin-film battery having a structure described later, it can be charged to a charging capacity sufficient for a sufficient operation time during transportation.

(資訊收集器的動作) (Action of Information Collector)

接下來，對於S38的資訊收集器100的動作，使用圖11詳細地進行說明。圖11係S38所示的資訊收集器100的動作的詳細的流程圖。 Next, the operation of the information collector 100 in S38 will be described in detail using FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a detailed flowchart of the operation of the information collector 100 shown in S38.

首先，位置感測器104係取得資訊收集器100設置的位置資訊(S51)。接下來，攝影機102攝影火災現場3的影像(S52)。然後，控制裝置105係取得位置資訊、攝影機影像、氣體資訊以及溫度資訊，將發送資料設定於緩衝器(buffer)(S53)。另外，氣體感測器101以及溫度感測器103係定期地收集氣體濃度以及溫度。 First, the position sensor 104 obtains the position information set by the information collector 100 (S51). Next, the camera 102 takes an image of the fire scene 3 (S52). Then, the control device 105 obtains position information, camera images, gas information, and temperature information, and sets the transmission data in a buffer (S53). In addition, the gas sensor 101 and the temperature sensor 103 regularly collect the gas concentration and temperature.

控制裝置105係判定感測器是否有異常(S54)。例如控制裝置105可適切地收集來自位置資訊、攝影機影像、氣體資訊以及溫度資訊的資訊的情形中，控制裝置105係判定為於各感測器沒有異常(於表1所示的表的資訊收集狀況儲存「OK」)。 The control device 105 determines whether the sensor is abnormal (S54). For example, when the control device 105 can appropriately collect information from position information, camera images, gas information, and temperature information, the control device 105 determines that there is no abnormality in each sensor (in the information collection table shown in Table 1 The status is saved "OK").

另外，在無法適切地取得位置資訊、攝影機影像、氣體資訊以及溫度資訊的情形(S54：是)，控制裝置105係判定為於該感測器發生異常，於該感測器的資料設定NG值。亦即，於如表1所示的表的資訊收集狀況儲存「NG」(S55)。然後，主機機器130係生成顯示為無法收集資訊狀態的無法收集訊號作為發送資料。 In addition, when the position information, camera image, gas information, and temperature information cannot be appropriately obtained (S54: Yes), the control device 105 determines that an abnormality has occurred in the sensor, and sets the NG value in the data of the sensor . That is, "NG" is stored in the information collection status of the table shown in Table 1 (S55). Then, the host machine 130 generates an uncollectible signal indicating that the information cannot be collected as the sending data.

在設定NG值後，或著於感測器沒有異常的情形(S54：否)，控制裝置105係將ALIVE值設定於發送資料(S56)。另外，對於S56的詳細將於後詳述。然後，控制裝置105係經由通訊裝置106而將包含ALIVE值、氣體濃度、影像、溫度等的發送資料往基地2發送(S57)。亦即，通訊裝置106係調變發送資料而進行無線發送。然後，返回S51。 After the NG value is set, or if there is no abnormality in the sensor (S54: No), the control device 105 sets the ALIVE value to the transmission data (S56). In addition, the details of S56 will be described later. Then, the control device 105 transmits the transmission data including the ALIVE value, gas concentration, image, temperature, etc., to the base 2 via the communication device 106 (S57). That is, the communication device 106 modulates the transmission data for wireless transmission. Then, return to S51.

(ALIVE值的設定) (Setting of ALIVE value)

接下來，使用圖12，對於S56的ALIVE值的設定處理進行說明。圖12為ALIVE值的設定處理的流程圖。 Next, the setting process of the ALIVE value of S56 will be described using FIG. 12. Fig. 12 is a flowchart of the ALIVE value setting process.

首先，當資訊收集器100開始動作(S61)，控制裝置105係將初期值作為ALIVE值儲存於記憶體(S62)。另外，初期值係被預先設定，例如為0。接下來，控制裝置105判定是否已發送完了發送資料(S63)。控制裝置105係於發送資料加上ALIVE值而發送。控制裝置105係在未將發送資料予以發送的情形(S63：否)中，重複S63的判定直至將發送資料予以發送為止。 First, when the information collector 100 starts to operate (S61), the control device 105 stores the initial value as an ALIVE value in the memory (S62). In addition, the initial value is set in advance, for example, 0. Next, the control device 105 determines whether or not the transmission data has been transmitted (S63). The control device 105 adds the ALIVE value to the transmission data and transmits it. In the case where the transmission data is not transmitted (S63: NO), the control device 105 repeats the determination of S63 until the transmission data is transmitted.

在控制裝置105發送了資料的情形(S63：是)，控制裝置105係將ALIVE值更新(S64)。例如將前次的ALIVE值+1作為最新的ALIVE值。然後，控制裝置105將更新後的ALIVE值儲存於記憶體等(S65)。藉由如此方式，資訊收集器100可在每次將發送資料予以發送時將ALIVE值更新。另外，於S63中，在將資料發送時，資訊收集器100亦可對主機機器130發送ALIVE值。 When the control device 105 transmits the data (S63: Yes), the control device 105 updates the ALIVE value (S64). For example, the previous ALIVE value + 1 is used as the latest ALIVE value. Then, the control device 105 stores the updated ALIVE value in the memory etc. (S65). In this way, the information collector 100 can update the ALIVE value every time the transmission data is transmitted. In addition, in S63, the information collector 100 may also send the ALIVE value to the host machine 130 when sending the data.

ALIVE值的更新亦可由主機機器130進行。該情形中，在S63，當主機機器130接收到發送資料時，將發送來源的資訊收集器100的ALIVE值更新(S64)。即使採用如此方式亦可適切地管理ALIVE值。藉由使用如上所述的ALIVE值，使用者可以適切地掌握資訊收集器100的狀態。ALIVE值係對應於主機機器130取得發送資料的次數。 The update of the ALIVE value can also be performed by the host machine 130. In this case, in S63, when the host machine 130 receives the transmission data, it updates the ALIVE value of the information collector 100 of the transmission source (S64). Even in this way, the ALIVE value can be managed appropriately. By using the ALIVE value as described above, the user can appropriately grasp the status of the information collector 100. The ALIVE value corresponds to the number of times the host machine 130 obtains and sends data.

(根據現場資訊的滅火作業) (Fire fighting based on site information)

接下來，對於資訊收集器100所收集的根據現場資訊的滅火作業的步驟S16使用圖13進行說明。圖13為步驟S16的滅火作業的順序的流程圖。 Next, step S16 of the fire extinguishing operation based on the site information collected by the information collector 100 will be described using FIG. 13. Fig. 13 is a flowchart of the procedure of the fire extinguishing operation in step S16.

首先，主機機器130接收來自資訊收集器100的發送資料(S71)。亦即，資訊收集器100將根據現場資訊的發送資料予以發送時，主機機器130係經由天線110而接收發送資料。然後，主機機器130係將發送資料解調，取得由各感測器所收集的資料、ALIVE值的資料等。接下來，主機機器130係判定ALIVE值自前次接收時的資料起是否有被正常地更新(S72)。 First, the host machine 130 receives the transmission data from the information collector 100 (S71). That is, when the information collector 100 transmits the transmission data based on the on-site information, the host machine 130 receives the transmission data via the antenna 110. Then, the host machine 130 demodulates the transmitted data, and obtains the data collected by each sensor, the data of the ALIVE value, and so on. Next, the host machine 130 determines whether the ALIVE value has been updated normally since the data received last time (S72).

當判定為ALIVE值未正常地更新的情形(S72：否)時，則主機機器130判斷為該資訊收集器100故障(S73)。顯示部135係顯示用以搬送新的資訊收集器作為被判斷為故障的資訊收集器100的代替的資訊。主機機器130係在檢測到ALIVE值未更新的資訊收集器100的情形中，於顯示部135顯示用以搬送新的資訊收集器作為未更新的資訊收集器100的代替的資訊。然後，使用者係在故障的資訊收集器100的位置，使搬送機器200再度配置新的資訊收集器100(S74)。然後，返回S71，主機機器130自資訊收集器100接收含有現場資訊的發送資料。 When it is determined that the ALIVE value is not updated normally (S72: No), the host machine 130 determines that the information collector 100 is malfunctioning (S73). The display unit 135 displays information for transporting a new information collector as a replacement for the information collector 100 judged to be malfunctioning. When the host machine 130 detects the information collector 100 whose ALIVE value has not been updated, the display unit 135 displays information for transporting the new information collector as a replacement for the information collector 100 that has not been updated. Then, the user locates the faulty information collector 100 and causes the conveying machine 200 to deploy a new information collector 100 again (S74). Then, returning to S71, the host machine 130 receives the transmission data containing on-site information from the information collector 100.

另外，亦可根據作為ALIVE值的代替而在自己診斷為 DEAD的情形生成的無法收集訊號而將資訊收集器100再度配置。例如，一個以上的感測器的資訊收集狀況為NG的資訊收集器100係將含有無法收集訊號的發送資料予以發送。主機機器130係自該資訊收集器100接收含有無法收集訊號的發送資料，而判斷為資訊收集器100的感測器故障。主機機器130係將用以搬送新的資訊收集器作為該資訊收集器100的代替的資訊顯示於顯示部135。當然，亦可根據ALIVE值與無法收集訊號的兩方而使主機機器130顯示用以搬送新的資訊收集器的資訊。 In addition, you can also diagnose yourself as a substitute for the ALIVE value The DEAD situation generates a signal that cannot be collected, and the information collector 100 is configured again. For example, the information collector 100 whose information collection status of more than one sensor is NG transmits the transmission data containing the uncollectible signal. The host machine 130 receives the transmission data containing the uncollectable signal from the information collector 100 and determines that the sensor of the information collector 100 is faulty. The host machine 130 displays the information used to transport a new information collector as a replacement for the information collector 100 on the display part 135. Of course, the host machine 130 can also display the information for transporting the new information collector based on the ALIVE value and the two parties that cannot collect the signal.

當判定為ALIVE值有正常地更新的情形(S72：是)，主機機器130係將來自資訊收集器100的發送資料作為表而儲存(S75)。亦即，收集資訊記憶部132係將位置資訊、溫度資訊、氣體資訊、影像等的資料(現場資訊)與資訊收集器100的資訊收集器編號附加對應而記憶(參照表2)。 When it is determined that the ALIVE value has been updated normally (S72: Yes), the host machine 130 stores the transmission data from the information collector 100 as a table (S75). That is, the collected information storage unit 132 stores data (site information) such as location information, temperature information, gas information, and images with the information collector number of the information collector 100 (refer to Table 2).

主機機器130係將現場資訊顯示於監視器而可視化(S76)。例如，顯示部135係將現場資訊與火災現場3的地圖資訊一起顯示。具體而言，主機機器130係在所顯示的地圖資訊中，根據資訊收集器100的現場資訊而決定顯示位置。顯示部135係於地圖資訊中，於收集的資訊收集器100的位置顯示溫度、氣體濃度、影像。藉此，於地圖資訊中，資訊收集器100所收集的現場資訊會集中在資訊收集器100的設置位置或其附近。藉此，使用者可容易地掌 握火災現場的現場資訊。 The host machine 130 displays the live information on the monitor for visualization (S76). For example, the display unit 135 displays the scene information together with the map information of the fire scene 3. Specifically, the host machine 130 determines the display position based on the on-site information of the information collector 100 in the displayed map information. The display unit 135 is in the map information, and displays temperature, gas concentration, and images at the position of the collected information collector 100. In this way, in the map information, the field information collected by the information collector 100 will be concentrated at or near the installation location of the information collector 100. Thus, the user can easily palm Hold on-site information on the fire scene.

接下來，根據顯示的現場資訊，使用者找出滅火重要處所，選擇適切的滅火劑以及滅火方法(S77)。例如使用者係將溫度高的處所、氣體濃度高的處所作為滅火重要處所。然後，使用者根據氣體濃度、溫度而選擇滅火劑、滅火方法。另外，亦可採用主機機器130根據過去的火災中的資訊收集器100的資料自動地算出滅火方法等的方式。 Next, according to the displayed on-site information, the user finds out the important place for fire extinguishing, selects the appropriate fire extinguishing agent and method (S77). For example, users regard places with high temperature and high gas concentration as important places for fire fighting. Then, the user selects the fire extinguishing agent and method according to the gas concentration and temperature. In addition, a method in which the host machine 130 automatically calculates the fire extinguishing method based on the data of the information collector 100 in the past fire may be adopted.

使用者對消防隊員指示滅火方法(S78)。藉此，滅火作業的處理結束。 The user instructs the firefighters to extinguish the fire (S78). With this, the processing of the fire extinguishing operation ends.

另外，圖9至圖13所示的處理的一部分或全部係可藉由控制裝置105或CPU131執行電腦程式而實施。或著，圖9至圖13所示的處理的一部分亦可由使用者執行。 In addition, part or all of the processing shown in FIGS. 9 to 13 can be implemented by the control device 105 or the CPU 131 executing a computer program. Alternatively, part of the processing shown in FIGS. 9 to 13 may be executed by the user.

如此，於火災現場3的複數個處所設置的資訊收集器100係發送根據現場資訊的發送資料。如此，即使使用者待在遠離火災現場3的基地2，仍可容易地掌握火災現場3的現狀。藉此，可以指示將火災迅速地撲滅的方法、滅火場所、滅火劑等，而可防止火災的被害擴大。 In this way, the information collectors 100 installed at a plurality of locations in the fire site 3 transmit the transmission data based on the site information. In this way, even if the user stays at the base 2 far from the fire scene 3, the current situation of the fire scene 3 can be easily grasped. Thereby, it is possible to instruct a method, a place for extinguishing a fire, a extinguishing agent, etc. to quickly extinguish the fire, and it is possible to prevent the damage of the fire from expanding.

另外，於上述實施形態，雖以在火災現場配置資訊收集器100的例子進行說明，但亦可將資訊收集器100配置 在火災現場以外的災害現場。例如資訊收集系統1可適用在大規模的事故現場等的資訊收集。 In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although an example in which the information collector 100 is arranged at the fire site is described, the information collector 100 may also be arranged At the disaster site other than the fire site. For example, the information collection system 1 can be applied to information collection at the scene of a large-scale accident.

另外，在搬送機器200搬送資訊收集器100的期間，藉由搬送機器200的電池206、216將資訊收集器100的二次電池107充電。例如，火災發生後，當將資訊收集器100裝設於搬送機器200時則開始充電。藉由採用如上所述的方式，而成為可在火災發生後將資訊收集器100充電。藉此，不需要將全部的資訊收集器100在火災發生前預先充電，而使資訊收集器100的管理變得容易。此外，本實施形態中，由於使用可高速充電的固體薄膜電池，故即使是在搬送中充電的情形，資訊收集器100仍可動作充分時間。 In addition, while the conveying machine 200 is conveying the information collector 100, the secondary battery 107 of the information collector 100 is charged by the batteries 206 and 216 of the conveying machine 200. For example, after a fire occurs, when the information collector 100 is installed in the conveying machine 200, charging starts. By adopting the method described above, the information collector 100 can be charged after a fire occurs. In this way, it is not necessary to pre-charge all the information collectors 100 before a fire occurs, and the management of the information collectors 100 becomes easier. In addition, in this embodiment, since a solid thin film battery capable of high-speed charging is used, the information collector 100 can still operate for a sufficient time even if it is charged during transportation.

此外，於中繼站120亦可使用與資訊收集器100同樣的二次電池。亦即，藉由對於中繼站120使用固體薄膜電池而可防止二次災害。另外，亦可用搬送機器200搬送中繼站120。 In addition, the same secondary battery as the information collector 100 can also be used in the relay station 120. That is, by using solid thin film batteries for the relay station 120, secondary disasters can be prevented. In addition, the relay station 120 may be transported by the transport machine 200.

(二次電池的積層構造) (Layered structure of secondary battery)

在此，對於搭載於資訊收集器100的二次電池107的積層構造使用圖14進行說明。圖14為顯示片上的二次電池的基本的積層構造的剖面圖。另外，為了說明的明確化，於以下的圖係適宜地顯示XYZ的3次元正交座標系統。Z 方向為片狀的二次電池的厚度方向(積層方向)，XY平面為與片狀的二次電池平行的平面。另外，於XY平面中，二次電池為矩形狀，X方向以及Y方向成為與二次電池的端邊平行的方向。 Here, the layered structure of the secondary battery 107 mounted on the information collector 100 will be described using FIG. 14. Fig. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing the basic laminated structure of a secondary battery on a sheet. In addition, in order to clarify the description, the three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system of XYZ is appropriately displayed in the following diagrams. Z The direction is the thickness direction (stacking direction) of the sheet-shaped secondary battery, and the XY plane is a plane parallel to the sheet-shaped secondary battery. In addition, in the XY plane, the secondary battery has a rectangular shape, and the X direction and the Y direction are directions parallel to the edge of the secondary battery.

於圖14中，片狀電池10係具有在基材11上將n型氧化物半導體層13、充電層14、p型氧化物半導體層16以及第二電極17依序積層的積層構造。將該積層構造稱為積層體20。亦即，積層體20係具有基材11、n型氧化物半導體層13、充電層14、p型氧化物半導體層16以及第二電極17。 In FIG. 14, the sheet battery 10 has a laminated structure in which an n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13, a charging layer 14, a p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16, and a second electrode 17 are sequentially laminated on a substrate 11. This laminated structure is referred to as a laminated body 20. That is, the laminated body 20 has a base material 11, an n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13, a charging layer 14, a p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16, and a second electrode 17.

基材11係由金屬等的導電性物質等形成，作為第一電極而發揮功能。本實施形態中，基材11成為負極。就基材11而言，例如可使用SUS(Steel Use Stainless；不鏽鋼)片、鋁片等的金屬箔片。 The base material 11 is formed of a conductive material such as metal and the like, and functions as a first electrode. In this embodiment, the substrate 11 serves as a negative electrode. For the base material 11, for example, a metal foil sheet such as a SUS (Steel Use Stainless) sheet and an aluminum sheet can be used.

亦可準備由絕緣材料構成的基材11，於基材11上形成第一電極。亦即，基材11只要為含有第一電極的構成即可。於基材11上形成第一電極的情形中，作為第一電極的材料可以使用鉻(Cr)或鈦(Ti)等的金屬材料。作為第一電極的材料，亦可使用含有鋁(Al)、銀(Ag)等的合金膜。在將第一電極形成於基材11上的情形中，後述的第二電極17亦可同樣地形成。 It is also possible to prepare a base material 11 made of an insulating material, and form the first electrode on the base material 11. That is, the base material 11 should just have a structure containing a 1st electrode. In the case of forming the first electrode on the substrate 11, a metal material such as chromium (Cr) or titanium (Ti) can be used as a material of the first electrode. As the material of the first electrode, an alloy film containing aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), or the like may also be used. In the case where the first electrode is formed on the substrate 11, the second electrode 17 described later may be formed in the same manner.

於基材11上形成有n型氧化物半導體層13。n型氧化物半導體層13係構成為含有n型氧化物半導體材料(第二n型氧化物半導體材料)。作為n型氧化物半導體層13，例如可使用二氧化鈦(TiO₂)、氧化錫(SnO₂)或氧化鋅(ZnO)等。例如，n型氧化物半導體層13係可藉由濺鍍或蒸鍍而於基材11上成膜。作為n型氧化物半導體層13的材料較佳為使用二氧化鈦(TiO₂)。 An n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 is formed on the substrate 11. The n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 is configured to contain an n-type oxide semiconductor material (a second n-type oxide semiconductor material). As the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13, for example, titanium dioxide (TiO ₂ ), tin oxide (SnO ₂ ), zinc oxide (ZnO), or the like can be used. For example, the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 can be formed as a film on the substrate 11 by sputtering or evaporation. As the material of the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13, titanium dioxide (TiO ₂ ) is preferably used.

於n型氧化物半導體層13上形成有充電層14。充電層14係由混合絕緣材料與n型氧化物半導體材料的混合物所形成。例如，作為充電層14的n型氧化物半導體材料(第一n型氧化物半導體材料)可使用微粒子的n型氧化物半導體。n型氧化物半導體係藉由紫外線照射而將光激勵構造變化而成為具有充電功能的層。作為充電層14的絕緣材料可使用矽酮(silicone)樹脂。例如，作為絕緣材料，較佳為使用具有由矽氧化物等的矽氧烷鍵所致的主骨架的矽化合物(矽酮)。 A charging layer 14 is formed on the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13. The charging layer 14 is formed of a mixture of a mixed insulating material and an n-type oxide semiconductor material. For example, as the n-type oxide semiconductor material (first n-type oxide semiconductor material) of the charging layer 14, a fine-particle n-type oxide semiconductor can be used. The n-type oxide semiconductor is a layer having a charging function by changing the photo-excited structure by ultraviolet irradiation. As the insulating material of the charging layer 14, silicone resin can be used. For example, as the insulating material, it is preferable to use a silicon compound (silicone) having a main skeleton formed by a siloxane bond such as silicon oxide.

例如，充電層14係使第一n型氧化物半導體材料作為二氧化鈦，藉由氧化矽與二氧化鈦而形成。此外，作為可在充電層14使用的n型氧化物半導體材料而言，氧化錫(SnO₂)或氧化鋅(ZnO)為適合。亦可使用組合二氧化鈦、氧化錫以及氧化鋅中之2個或全部的材料。 For example, the charging layer 14 uses the first n-type oxide semiconductor material as titanium dioxide, and is formed of silicon oxide and titanium dioxide. In addition, as an n-type oxide semiconductor material that can be used for the charging layer 14, tin oxide (SnO ₂ ) or zinc oxide (ZnO) is suitable. A combination of two or all of titanium dioxide, tin oxide, and zinc oxide can also be used.

對於充電層14的製造工程進行說明。首先，準備在氧化鈦、氧化錫或氧化鋅的前驅體(precursor)與矽酮油的混合物混合了溶媒的塗布液。準備將脂肪酸鈦與矽酮油混合於溶媒的塗布液。然後，藉由旋塗法、縫塗(slit coat)法等而使塗布液被塗布於n型氧化物半導體層13上。藉由對於塗布膜進行乾燥以及燒成，可在n型氧化物半導體層13上形成充電層14。另外，作為前驅體的一例，例如可使用為氧化鈦之前驅體的硬脂酸鈦(Titanium stearate)。氧化鈦、氧化錫、氧化鋅係可由為金屬氧化物之前驅體的脂肪族酸鹽分解而形成。亦可對於乾燥及燒成後的充電層14進行紫外線照射而使其UV(ultraviolet；紫外線)硬化。 The manufacturing process of the charging layer 14 will be described. First, prepare a coating solution in which a solvent is mixed with a mixture of a precursor of titanium oxide, tin oxide, or zinc oxide and silicone oil. Prepare a coating solution in which fatty acid titanium and silicone oil are mixed with a solvent. Then, the coating liquid is coated on the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 by a spin coating method, a slit coating method, or the like. By drying and firing the coating film, the charging layer 14 can be formed on the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13. In addition, as an example of the precursor, for example, titanium stearate, which is a precursor of titanium oxide, can be used. Titanium oxide, tin oxide, and zinc oxide can be formed by decomposition of aliphatic acid salts that are precursors of metal oxides. The charging layer 14 after drying and sintering may be irradiated with ultraviolet rays to be cured by UV (ultraviolet).

另外，對於氧化鈦、氧化錫、氧化鋅等，亦可不使用前驅體而使用氧化物半導體的細微粒子。將氧化鈦或氧化鋅的奈米粒子與矽酮油混合，藉此生成混合液。此外，藉由於混合液混合溶媒而生成塗布液。藉由旋塗法、縫塗法等，塗布液被塗布於n型氧化物半導體層13上。對於塗布膜，可進行乾燥、燒成以及UV照射，藉此形成充電層14。 In addition, for titanium oxide, tin oxide, zinc oxide, etc., it is also possible to use fine particles of an oxide semiconductor without using a precursor. Nano particles of titanium oxide or zinc oxide are mixed with silicone oil to generate a mixed solution. In addition, a coating liquid is generated by mixing the solvent with the mixed liquid. The coating liquid is coated on the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 by a spin coating method, a slit coating method, or the like. For the coating film, drying, firing, and UV irradiation may be performed, thereby forming the charging layer 14.

於充電層14所包含的第一n型氧化物半導體材料與n型氧化物半導體層13所包含的第二n型氧化物半導體材料可為相同亦可為不同。例如，在n型氧化物半導體層13所包含的n型氧化物半導體材料為氧化錫的情形中，充電 層14的n型氧化物半導體材料可為氧化錫，亦可為氧化錫以外的n型氧化物半導體材料。 The first n-type oxide semiconductor material included in the charging layer 14 and the second n-type oxide semiconductor material included in the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 may be the same or different. For example, in the case where the n-type oxide semiconductor material contained in the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 is tin oxide, the charging The n-type oxide semiconductor material of the layer 14 may be tin oxide, or an n-type oxide semiconductor material other than tin oxide.

於充電層14上形成有p型氧化物半導體層16。p型氧化物半導體層16係構成為含有p型氧化物半導體材料。作為p型氧化物半導體層16的材料，可使用氧化鎳(NiO)以及銅鋁氧化物(CuAlO₂)等。例如p型氧化物半導體層16係成為厚度400nm的氧化鎳膜。p型氧化物半導體層16係藉由蒸鍍或濺鍍等的成膜方法而於充電層14之上成膜。 A p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 is formed on the charging layer 14. The p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 is configured to contain a p-type oxide semiconductor material. As the material of the p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16, nickel oxide (NiO), copper aluminum oxide (CuAlO ₂ ), and the like can be used. For example, the p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 is a nickel oxide film with a thickness of 400 nm. The p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 is formed on the charging layer 14 by a film forming method such as vapor deposition or sputtering.

第二電極17只要是藉由導電膜形成即可。另外，作為第二電極17的材料，可使用鉻(Cr)或銅(Cu)等的金屬材料。作為其他的金屬材料，可使用含有鋁(Al)的銀(Ag)合金等。作為其形成方法，可列舉濺鍍、離子電鍍、電子束蒸鍍、真空蒸鍍、化學蒸鍍等的氣相成膜法。另外，金屬電極可藉由電解鍍覆法、無電解鍍覆法等而形成。作為於鍍覆使用的金屬，一般可使用銅、銅合金、鎳、鋁、銀、金、鋅或錫等。例如第二電極17係成為厚度300nm的Al膜。 The second electrode 17 may be formed of a conductive film. In addition, as the material of the second electrode 17, a metal material such as chromium (Cr) or copper (Cu) can be used. As other metal materials, a silver (Ag) alloy containing aluminum (Al) or the like can be used. Examples of the formation method include vapor phase film formation methods such as sputtering, ion plating, electron beam vapor deposition, vacuum vapor deposition, and chemical vapor deposition. In addition, the metal electrode can be formed by an electrolytic plating method, an electroless plating method, or the like. As the metal used for plating, copper, copper alloy, nickel, aluminum, silver, gold, zinc, tin, etc. can generally be used. For example, the second electrode 17 is an Al film with a thickness of 300 nm.

如上所述，於基材11上設置積層體20，該積層體20具有n型氧化物半導體層13、充電層14、p型氧化物半導體層16以及第二電極17。如此，於片狀電池10的最表面配置第二電極17。另外，於片狀電池10的端部並未設置積層體20。 As described above, the laminated body 20 is provided on the substrate 11, and the laminated body 20 has the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13, the charging layer 14, the p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16, and the second electrode 17. In this way, the second electrode 17 is arranged on the outermost surface of the sheet battery 10. In addition, the laminate 20 is not provided at the end of the sheet battery 10.

上述說明中，雖為於充電層14之下配置n型氧化物半導體層13並於充電層14之上配置p型氧化物半導體層16的構成，但亦可為n型氧化物半導體層13與p型氧化物半導體層16相反的構成。亦即，亦可為於充電層14之上配置n型氧化物半導體層13並於充電層14之下配置p型氧化物半導體層16的構成。該情形中，基材11成為正極，第二電極17成為負極。亦即，只要為充電層14被n型氧化物半導體層13與p型氧化物半導體層16夾持的構成，則於充電層14之上無論是配置n型氧化物半導體層13或配置p型氧化物半導體層16皆可。換言之，片狀電池10只要為依照第一電極(基材11)、第一導電型氧化物半導體層(n型氧化物半導體層13或p型氧化物半導體層16)、充電層14、第二導電型半導體層(p型氧化物半導體層16或n型氧化物半導體層13)、第二電極17的順序積層的構成即可。 In the above description, although the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 is disposed under the charging layer 14 and the p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 is disposed on the charging layer 14, the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 and The p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 has the opposite configuration. In other words, the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 may be disposed on the charging layer 14 and the p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 may be disposed under the charging layer 14. In this case, the base material 11 becomes a positive electrode, and the second electrode 17 becomes a negative electrode. That is, as long as the charging layer 14 is sandwiched between the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 and the p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16, no matter whether the n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 or the p-type oxide semiconductor layer is disposed on the charging layer 14 The oxide semiconductor layer 16 may be any. In other words, the sheet battery 10 needs to be in accordance with the first electrode (base material 11), the first conductivity type oxide semiconductor layer (n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 or p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16), the charging layer 14, the second The conductive semiconductor layer (p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 or n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13) and the second electrode 17 may be stacked in order.

此外，片狀電池10亦可為含有第一電極(基材11)、第一導電型氧化物半導體層(n型氧化物半導體層13或p型氧化物半導體層16)、充電層14、第二導電型半導體層(p型氧化物半導體層16或n型氧化物半導體層13)以及第二電極17以外的層的構成。 In addition, the sheet battery 10 may include a first electrode (base material 11), a first conductivity type oxide semiconductor layer (n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13 or p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16), a charging layer 14, a The two-conductivity semiconductor layer (p-type oxide semiconductor layer 16 or n-type oxide semiconductor layer 13) and layers other than the second electrode 17 are constituted.

二次電池107係具有上述二次電池10。例如，將上述 片狀的二次電池10作為單位電池，而將複數個片狀的二次電池10積層，藉此形成二次電池107。電池206、電池216亦可具有上述二次電池10。中繼站120亦可具有上述二次電池10。 The secondary battery 107 has the aforementioned secondary battery 10. For example, the above The sheet-shaped secondary battery 10 is used as a unit cell, and a plurality of sheet-shaped secondary batteries 10 are laminated to form the secondary battery 107. The battery 206 and the battery 216 may also include the secondary battery 10 described above. The relay station 120 may also have the aforementioned secondary battery 10.

如圖14所示的二次電池10係藉由不燃性材料所構成，耐熱溫度高，故可防止延燒。藉此，資訊收集器100成為適合於高溫的火災現場使用。由於為不具有電解液的固體薄膜電池，故即使燃燒亦不會發生破裂或漏液等的二次災害。例如，所謂不燃性材料係指在250℃以下的溫度不會燃燒的材料。二次電池10係由在250℃以下的溫度不會燃燒的材料所構成。 The secondary battery 10 shown in FIG. 14 is made of a non-flammable material and has a high heat-resistant temperature, so it can prevent burning. In this way, the information collector 100 becomes suitable for use in high-temperature fire scenes. Since it is a solid thin-film battery without electrolyte, it will not cause secondary disasters such as rupture or leakage even if it burns. For example, the so-called non-combustible material refers to a material that does not burn at a temperature below 250°C. The secondary battery 10 is made of a material that does not burn at temperatures below 250°C.
