JPS62157572A - Flash light/alcohol discriminator in combination - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable discrimination of alcohol concentration at a touch, by providing a flash light with a reagent filling device, a alcohol discriminator circuit, digital panel and the like to discharge to discharge port an exhalation from an exhale sampling port provided on the side thereof. CONSTITUTION:This apparatus serves as alcohol discriminator as well as flash light. When used as alcohol discriminator, a switch 2 is turned ON to light a bulb 3, making the discriminator bright as a whole. Then, a switch 17 is turned ON, and a horn 4 is set on a mouth of a person to be inspected to make him blow exhalation to an exhale sampling port 5. This exhale is brought into contact with a reagent filling device 7 to detect alcohol with an alcohol discriminator circuit containing mass spectrometer. Depending on the detection value, either normal blue lamp 13 or illegal red lamp 14 comes ON. When the red lamp 14 lights, bearing alcohol is determined and the concentration of alcohol is displayed on a digital panel 16.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION V. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION FIELD 1 The present invention relates to a flashlight and sobriety determining device equipped with a sobriety determining mechanism for determining exhaled breath containing alcohol.

rPrior Art 1 As a conventional method for determining alcohol consumption, a certain amount of breath from a subject is usually collected in a balloon made of rubber or the like. This collected breath is
Using a suction pump, the tube is passed through a long and thin alcohol detection tube filled with a reagent that changes color when it comes into contact with alcohol-containing gas, and the alcohol concentration in the subject's body can be determined by measuring the length of the discolored part of the reagent in the detection tube. The exhaled breath collection bag disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 56-18994 is disclosed, and its gist is that it is made of a soft film material,
It has a configuration in which an exhaled breath sampling section with a constant volume has an exhaled air inlet at one end, and an exhaled air reservoir section with a large volume is provided at the other end via a communication section. The exhaled breath in the exhaled breath sampling section is then used as a sample.

Problem 1 to be Solved by the Invention By the way, in the conventional method, the first part of the collected exhaled air is easily diluted by the air in the respiratory tract or by the air that is inhaled. When using a reagent, the alcohol concentration in diluted exhaled breath is determined, and it is impossible to know the correct concentration.Also, the method according to the above technical document is true that exhaled breath is generated from deep in the lungs and is not diluted in any way. The effect of collecting a sample and measuring the alcohol concentration in the body can be expected to be more accurate, but it is possible to collect exhaled breath with a breath sampling bag, wrap it with a grip in at least two places, and then cut off the unnecessary part to detect alcohol. The process of communicating with the pipe requires time and effort, is a nuisance for the police officer and the patient, and may cause traffic congestion.

In view of the above, Kibatsu 1 provides a flashlight and breathalyzer that doubles as a flashlight and displays the concentration on a digital panel with one touch. A flashlight equipped with a light bulb, a switch, etc. is equipped with an exhaled breath sampling port on the side, and a reagent filling device for exhaled breath measurement is installed near the exhaled breath sampling port, and detection from this reagent filling device is installed. A flashlight is equipped with an alcohol determination circuit that determines the alcohol level based on the f1 value, a lamp that indicates success or failure based on the f1 value, and a digital panel that displays the alcohol concentration, and the collected exhaled breath is discharged. This structure has an exhaust port on the side of the flashlight.

"Operation" Next, to explain the present invention in detail, at night, turn on a flashlight to make the entire judgment tool [JII] light. Then, after attaching the breathalyzer sampling port equipped with the breathalyzer test tube to the subject's mouth, turn on the switch of the breathalyzer test circuit.
The subject's exhaled breath is brought into contact with a reagent filling device, and alcoholic beverages are detected through an IA quantity analyzer. This detected value is compared with a numerical value previously stored in a memory device via a comparator or a comparison circuit, and the numerical value is calculated. This number is amplified via a DC amplifier and then input to the selector switch, which changes the number to positive 9? In this case, when the red lamp is lit, the alcohol concentration is displayed on the digital panel via the calculator. By the way, the area near this digital panel is brightly lit by a flashlight and can be easily read.

The exhaled air that has entered this determination device is exhausted to the outside through an exhaust port provided on its side.

Embodiment 1 The drawing shows an embodiment of the present invention, and 1 is a flashlight equipped with a battery (not shown), a switch 2, and a light bulb 3. 7 is a reagent filler for breath measurement; 14 is a blue lamp indicating that the person is not intoxicated, that is, positive; 14 is a red lamp that is indicating that he is intoxicated, 516 is a digital panel that displays the alcohol concentration;
Reference numeral 7 denotes a switch for operating an alcohol determination circuit A, which will be described later. The alcohol determination circuit A is composed of, for example, a mass spectrometer 8, a comparison circuit 9, a memory 10, a DC amplifier 11, and a changeover switch 12. 20 in the figure is a breath sampling port 5.
This lamp lights up when the specified amount of exhaled air is not being blown out, and its purpose is to ensure the correct amount of exhaled air.

Next, to explain the present invention in detail, first, when using the flashlight 1, turn on and off the switch 2 and turn on the light bulb 3.
Turn on or off. On the other hand, when using it as a breathalyzer, turn on the switch 2 and turn on the light bulb 3 at night to brighten the entire device, then turn on the switch 17 of the breathalyzer test circuit A, Attach the trumpet tube 4 of the breathalyzer test device to the mouth of the breathalyzer, blow breath into the breath sampling port 5, bring the breath into contact with the reagent filler 7, and collect the breath.
Alcohol is detected through a 1ti quantity analyzer 7. This detected value is compared with the numerical value stored in advance in the fertilizer α device 10 in the comparison circuit 9.
A comparative study is conducted via , and the numerical value is calculated. This value is amplified via the DC amplifier 11 and then input to the selector switch 12, which changes the positive blue lamp 1.
Either the red lamp 14 of 3 or 3 lights up. In this case, when the red lamp 14 lights up, the person is under the influence of alcohol, and the alcohol concentration is displayed on the digital panel 16 via the calculator 15. When the positive blue lamp 13 lights up, the exhaled breath that is not under the influence of alcohol and has entered the test device is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust port 6 provided on the side thereof. This determination tool is used by performing such operations. By appropriately changing the type and contents of the reagents filled in the reagent filler 7, it can be used as a drug determination device, a thinner determination device, or even as a gas leak determination device. can be expected to expand.

Effects of the Invention 1 As detailed above, the present invention
ti: Since the lamp is equipped with a reagent filler, a breathalyzer determination circuit, a digital panel, etc., there is no need to go through an alcohol detection tube like in the past, and it is very useful because it allows you to easily and accurately test alcohol concentration. , which can eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional technology. Also, since it is integrated with a flashlight, it is very convenient and allows accurate reading of alcohol concentration. Furthermore, it has a simple structure, is easy to use, and can be provided at low cost.
