[0006]

1 shows an example of a door opening / closing monitoring toy (hereinafter referred to as a monitoring toy) according to the present invention. The monitoring toy A is used to open and close a door a of a refrigerator B, and to close the door. A monitoring toy for monitoring forgetting, which is used by being installed in a refrigerator B as shown in a use state diagram of FIG. 2, in which a toy body 1 is formed of a synthetic resin such as plastic into a conical shape. The upper part 1a is transparent or translucent,
A monitoring means 2 for monitoring the lighting and extinguishing of the refrigerator interior lamp is disposed inside the refrigerator, is waterproofed so that it is safe even if wet, and has a flat bottom so that it can be installed in the refrigerator. Is

In the opaquely formed lower part of the truncated cone, a storage unit 3 storing audio data is stored in the storage unit 3 based on the monitoring result of the monitoring unit 2. And a control unit 7 for reading out any audio data from the audio output unit 4 as audio information and outputting the audio data from the audio output unit 4, and for controlling the operation of the operating mechanism 5 to move the eyeballs 6, 6.

[0008] Then, as shown in the block diagram of Figure 3,
The control unit (CPU) 7 receives a detection signal from the monitoring unit 2 including a CDS sensor that senses the light of the interior lighting lamp that is turned on when the refrigerator door is opened, and stores the audio data in the storage unit ( Read the audio data from the memory 3)
The audio signal is output after being converted into an audio signal, amplified by an amplifier 8 and output from a speaker serving as an audio output unit 4, and a motor 10 is rotated via a driver 9 to move an operation mechanism 5. . The storage unit (memory)
3 and the control unit (CPU) 7 are programmable speech synthesis I
Can be configured in C, and added to the audio data in the memory 3, the control program is stored, counted mosquitoes
A counter 11 and a time counter 12 are set .

The control unit 7 counts when a detection signal is input.
The counter 11 is counted up to count the number of times the door is opened and closed, and the time during which the door is opened is counted by the time counter 1.
The number is counted by 2 , and the number of doors within a predetermined time is monitored, and the time during which the doors are open can be monitored. This monitoring result is output from the audio output unit 4 as audio information.

Next, a description on the basis of the operation mode of the above-described door opening and closing monitoring toys flowchart of FIG.

When the power is turned on, initialization is performed in step ST1, various counters are reset, and the process proceeds to step ST2 to wait for the door to be opened. When the door is opened, the interior lamp is turned on, so that the CDS sensor operates and a detection signal is input to the control unit. The control unit randomly outputs voice information (for example, “what do you want to eat?” Or “has you been hungry?”) When the door is opened, counts up the counter 11 and counts the time counter 12 . Up.

If it is determined in step ST3 that the opening time of the door has exceeded a predetermined time (30 seconds in the present invention), the process proceeds to step ST4 to issue a warning sound (for example, "close early").
After the motor is rotated for a predetermined time to move the eyeball, if the door is closed and the CDS sensor is turned off, the process returns to step ST2.

Meanwhile, it is determined whether the door is closed within a predetermined time (step ST6), the CDS sensor confirms that the door is closed been turned OFF, step ST7
To check the number of times the door has been opened within the predetermined time, and check the number of times of opening and closing within the predetermined time. If the number of times the door has been opened within the predetermined time is one, the process proceeds to step ST9 and the audio information (for example, “ What is eaten?) Is output, the motor is rotated for a predetermined time to move the eyeball, and then the process returns to step ST2. If the number of times of opening within the predetermined time is two, the process proceeds to step ST11 and the audio information ( For example, after "opened a while ago"), the motor is rotated for a predetermined time to move the eyeball, and then the process returns to step ST2. If the number of times of opening within the predetermined time is three, the process proceeds to step ST13 and the sound is output. After outputting information (for example, "cake is another belly") and rotating the motor for a predetermined time to move the eyeball, the process returns to step ST2.

If the number of times of opening within the predetermined time exceeds three times, the process proceeds to step ST14 to output audio information (for example, "I often eat"), and the motor is rotated for the predetermined time to move the eyeball. Thereafter, the process returns to step ST2 and waits for the door to open.

[0015] As described above, outputs the voice when the door is opened, to monitor the time that the open times and open, so that outputs sound in response to the frequency and time, the practicality In addition, it is possible to provide a door opening / closing monitoring toy that is optimal for a playful refrigerator.

In the toy for monitoring the opening and closing of the door, the refrigerator
Although the case where the opening and closing of the door is monitored has been described, it may be adapted to a closet, a cabinet, a safe, and the like. In this case, for example, if it is a safe, "do not waste!"
Audio data may be created in accordance with the target to be used, such as "Do not open on your own!", "Do not leave open!"

[0017]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since a sound is output each time the refrigerator door is opened, it is possible to use the refrigerator while interacting with each other, and to open the refrigerator by a third party. Therefore, unnecessary opening and closing can be suppressed, and forgetting to close can be prevented. And open the door
How many times and how long the door is open
Monitoring can be performed without any modification, saving energy
Energy and cost savings, and excellent in practical use
Provide a door opening and closing monitoring toy that can be expected to be effective
be able to.
