DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. FIG. FIG.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a rechargeable battery such as a lithium battery, the temperature of which is controlled by a thermistor 2 to form a battery circuit 3. The battery circuit 3 is connected to an output terminal 4 and is connected so as to be able to supply power to the battery pack side transmitting / receiving circuit 5. A battery pack side power switch 6 is connected between the battery pack side transmitting / receiving circuit 5 and the battery circuit 3. The battery pack side transmitting / receiving circuit 5 includes a transmitting unit 7
And a receiving unit 8. The transmission unit 7 is connected and configured by an oscillator 9, a transmission circuit 10, and a transmission antenna 11. Also,
The receiving section 8 includes a receiving antenna 12, a receiving circuit 13, and a notification circuit 14, and the notification circuit 14 is connected to a buzzer 16 which is turned on / off by a notification switch 15 and a display LED 17.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a sensor-side transmitting section 20 and a sensor-side receiving section 21 for transmitting and receiving radio waves from the transmitting antenna 11 and the receiving antenna 12 of FIG. The sensor-side transmission unit 20 is connected to a sensor-side oscillator 22, a sensor-side transmission circuit 23, and a sensor-side transmission antenna 24. The sensor-side receiving section 21 is a sensor-side receiving antenna 2
5. It comprises a sensor side receiving circuit 26 and a sensor side notifying circuit 27, and the sensor side notifying circuit 27 has a sensor side buzzer 2
8. A sensor-side notification switch 29 for turning on / off the buzzer 28 and a sensor-side display LED 30 are connected and configured. A sensor-side battery circuit 31 is connected to the sensor-side transmission unit 20 and the sensor-side reception circuit 21 so as to supply a sensor-side power. The sensor-side battery circuit 32 is a circuit in which a primary battery such as manganese or a secondary battery such as lithium is connected to the sensor-side power supply 32 with a sensor-side power switch 33.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a battery pack main body 40 incorporating the circuit of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 shows an output terminal 4 for supplying power from the battery circuit 3 to an electronic device.
, And thus represents the side to be attached to the electronic device. FIG. 4 shows the opposite side to FIG. 3, that is, the front side.

FIG. 5 shows a sensor box main body 41 incorporating the circuit of FIG. The sensor box main body 41 is a cylindrical pen type and has a clip 42 provided thereon, which can be hooked on a shirt pocket or the like. A display LED 43 is provided at the tip of the sensor box main body 41, and a notification switch 29 is provided near the display LED 43.
The other end has a sensor-side power switch 33 which can be turned on / off by a rotating mechanism.

When the power switch 6 on the battery pack side and the power switch 33 on the sensor side are turned on in the above configuration, the radio waves emitted from the transmitting antenna 11 in FIG. At the sensor-side receiving antenna 25. On the other hand, a radio wave on the sensor side is transmitted from the sensor-side transmission antenna 24 and received by the reception antenna 12 on the battery pack main body 40 side in FIG. If radio waves are transmitted and received by both sides in this way, the electronic device equipped with the battery pack main body 40 is lost, that is, both the radio waves from the sensor box main body 41 and the radio waves from the battery pack main body 40 are lost. When it is out of reach, the buzzer 16 of the battery pack main body 40 and the sensor side buzzer 28 of the sensor box main body 41 sound to notify nearby people and users.

[0011] Further, the alarm buzzer stops sounding when approaching the device, such as when the device is left behind, and it is difficult to find when the device is placed under a table or in the shade. In this case, the power switch 6 or 33 on the battery pack side or the sensor box side is turned off to make it easier to search by sounding a buzzer. If the call switch is provided in the battery pack or the sensor box to achieve this purpose, the operability is improved.

In the above description, it has been described only that a warning is issued when each of the receivers 8 and 21 cannot receive the transmission radio wave from the other, but a unique number or the like corresponding to the battery pack and the sensor box is used. By transmitting in analog or digital form and confirming on the receiving side, it does not react to other battery packs or sensor boxes, resulting in higher accuracy.

Further, for example, the unique numbers of a plurality of battery packs are stored in the receiving section on the sensor box side, and are configured to be checked so that monitoring and warning of a plurality of battery packs can be realized with one sensor box. it can. If a display such as an LCD is provided in the sensor box, it is possible to distinguish which battery pack is used. Further, a unique number is assigned to the sensor box side, and the battery pack is checked in the same manner as described above, so that monitoring or management as a one-to-one or one group becomes possible.

Therefore, even if one of the battery pack main body 40 and the sensor box main body 41 is forgotten, lost, or stolen, it is safe to do so. Note that the LED display 17 and the sensor-side LED display 30 are to be notified together with the buzzer 16 and the sensor-side buzzer 28.

FIG. 6 shows another example of the sensor box main body 41 shown in FIG. 5, which is formed of a thin flat plate and has a pocket size. Therefore, it is convenient and easy to carry. The sensor-side power switch 33 has a structure that slides in the direction of the arrow X as shown in the figure, thereby contributing to a further reduction in thickness.
