Abstract

An anti-burglar alarming door bell is disclosed, and in particular, a door bell having dual wires non-polar, with anti-burglar and alarming function. The door bell comprises a detecting mechanism, a door bell/anti-burglar mode selection, a first voicing mechanism, a second voicing mechanism, a micro-computer controlled switch circuit and an alarming activation mechanism having a first indication mechanism and a second mechanism and a press button. The microcomputer receives triggered signals from the detecting mechanism (such as magnetic-spring switch or infrared detecting device) to cause the voicing mechanism to produce a sound. By means of the switching circuit, the first indication mechanism or the second indication mechanism of the alarming activation mechanism is lighted. The microcomputer causes different indication mechanisms to light and causes different voicing mechanisms to produce a sound via the alarming activation mechanism with respect to the detected status by the detecting mechanism and the door bell/anti-burglar mode selection.

Claims

1. An anti-burglar alarming door bell comprising

a detecting mechanism to detect whether a security device has been illegally broken-in;

a first voicing mechanism;

a second voicing mechanism producing a sound different from that of the first voicing mechanism

an alarming activation mechanism having a press button, a first indication mechanism and a second indication mechanism, the first indication mechanism producing a color different from that produced by the second indication mechanism;

a selection switch;

a microcomputer and a switching circuit electrically connected with the selection switch, the detecting mechanism, the first and the second voicing mechanism and the alarming activation mechanism, allowing the switching of a common mode and an alarming mode, characterized in that when the switching circuit is at the common mode, the micro-computer causes the first indication mechanism to be lighted and the pressing of the press button causes the first voicing mechanism to produce a sound, and when the switching circuit is at the alarming mode and the detecting mechanism has not detected the security device being illegally broken-in, the micro-computer causes the second indication mechanism to be lighted, and the pressing of the press button causes the first voicing mechanisms to produce a sound, and if the switching circuit is at the alarming mode and the detecting mechanism has detected the security device being illegally broken-in, one of the first indication mechanism and the second indication mechanism produces a flashing and the pressing of the press button causes the second voicing mechanism to produce a sound.

2. The anti-burglar alarming doorbell as set forth in claim 1, wherein the detecting mechanism is magnetic-spring switch or an infrared detector or sensors.

3. The anti-burglar alarming door bell as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first voicing mechanism is a common door bell.

4. The anti-burglar alarming door bell as set forth in claim 1, wherein the second voicing mechanism is an alarming device.

5. The anti-burglar alarming door bell as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first and the second voicing mechanism are formed integrally as one unit capable of producing various types of sound.

6. The anti-burglar alarming door bell as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first indication mechanism is a green LED and the second indication mechanism is a red LED.

7. The anti-burglar alarming door bell as set forth in claim 1, wherein the first and the second indication mechanism are integrally formed as one unit, capable of producing various dual-color LED.

8. The anti-burglar alarming door bell as set forth in claim 1, wherein the alarming activation mechanisms are electrically connected with the switching circuit by a dual-line non-polar method.
