Description

Smoke detector
Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to Smoke detectors (Smoke detectors) in fire protection systems, and more particularly to a scattering type photoelectric Smoke Detector in fire protection systems.
Background
A scattering type photoelectric smoke detector is detection equipment commonly used in the field of fire fighting. The scattering type photoelectric smoke detector detects a fire by using scattering of detection light by particles in gas. There are also other types of scattered-radiation photoelectric smoke detectors and other types of scattered-radiation photoelectric smoke detector-based composite detectors that incorporate temperature sensors in the market.
It is generally desirable for smoke detectors to have a high sensitivity so that they can report a fire early enough to prompt the field personnel to evacuate in time. The minimum response threshold Th of the photoelectric smoke detector is not less than 0.05dB/m, which is regulated in the existing national standard GB 4715-2005. The threshold value is a numerical value of attenuation degree of the smoke to light emitted by a standard light source at the time when the photoelectric smoke detector is tested to test the performance, the test smoke is added into a test smoke box at a certain concentration increasing rate, and the detector alarms. The threshold Th reflects the smoke concentration at the alarm time of the detector, and the smaller the alarm threshold, the lower the smoke concentration at the alarm time, that is, the higher the sensitivity of the smoke detector.
Figure 1 schematically illustrates a schematic diagram of a typical photoelectric smoke detector. Photoelectric smoke detectors are typically mounted on the roof of a room in an inverted position. Fig. 1 is a bottom view of the internal structure of a rooftop mounted photoelectric smoke detector 100. The photoelectric smoke detector 100 is a forward scattering type photoelectric smoke detector that enters smoke from the side of the detection cavity. As shown in fig. 1, the photoelectric smoke detector 100 includes a detection chamber 110, a light emitting element 120, and a light receiving element 130. The light emitting element 120 is, for example, an infrared light emitting diode or a light emitting diode of other wavelength bands. The light receiving element 130 is, for example, a photodiode or other light sensing element. The side of the detection cavity 110 is provided with a smoke inlet. Through which opening particles 10 floating at and near the location of the photoelectric smoke detector may enter the detection chamber 110. Here, in the event of a fire, the particles 10 comprise combustion-generated aerosols (aerosol) composed of multiphase materials, which generally include gaseous combustion products from the pyrolysis or combustion of combustible materials, entrained volumes of air, incompletely combusted liquids, solid phase decomposition products, and minute particles. Such gases and particles in the event of a fire may also be referred to collectively as fire smoke or fire smoke, wherein the particles in the fire smoke have a significant light scattering effect.
In fig. 1, the angle α between the light emitting element 120 and the light receiving element 130 is greater than 90 ° and less than 180 °. The outgoing light 20 from the light emitting element 120 is scattered by the particles in the detection chamber 110, and the scattered light 30 therein is incident on the light receiving element 130. As can be seen, the angle between the scattered light 30 and the outgoing light 20 is also substantially α >90 °, a structure referred to as forward scattering structure.
The scattering type photoelectric smoke detector in the current Chinese market is easy to generate false fire alarm under smaller disturbance because of higher sensitivity setting. For this reason, the fire protection field management agency in china recently proposed: a modest increase in the minimum response threshold is required, for example by substantially an order of magnitude. If the minimum response threshold is raised to about 0.2-0.4 dB/m, the single-pure forward scattering type photoelectric smoke detector as shown in FIG. 1 can hardly meet all the test requirements of the national standard.
In order to solve the above problems, a back scattering type photoelectric smoke detector is also proposed in the art, as shown in fig. 2. Unlike the photoelectric smoke detector of fig. 1, in the photoelectric smoke detector 200 shown in fig. 2, the included angle β between the light emitting element 120 and the light receiving element 130 is less than 90 °. The outgoing light 20 from the light emitting element 120 is scattered by the particles in the detection cavity 110, and the scattered light 40 therein is incident on the light receiving element 130. The scattered light 40 travels substantially in the opposite direction to the outgoing light 20 and also makes an angle β with the outgoing light 20 of less than 90 °. For this reason, the scattered light 40 is referred to as backward (back) scattered light. The structure shown in fig. 2 is also referred to as a backscatter structure. Backscattering has higher sensitivity to certain smoke than forward scattering, but generally the signal intensity of the backscattering is relatively weak, and the requirement on the signal-to-noise ratio is higher, and for this reason, an optical structure (also called a labyrinth structure) with good extinction effect needs to be arranged in the backscattering type smoke detector to absorb or eliminate stray light and simultaneously improve the signal intensity of the scattered light.

Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate components that are identical or similar in structure, but that perform the same function. For simplicity, reference to a "smoke detector" in the following text is to be taken as a fire detection means that detects the amount of light scattered by fire smoke, i.e. a detector that detects fire smoke at least partially based on photoelectric means.
The first class of embodiments: back scattering
Fig. 3 to 17 are schematic structural diagrams of a smoke detector according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic view of an embodiment of the assembly of the smoke detector. As shown in fig. 3, the smoke detector 300 may include: a light emitting element 120, a light receiving element 130, a first light guide cover 310, a second light guide cover 320, a labyrinth piece 340, a labyrinth cover 350.
In the example of fig. 3, the smoke detector 300 further includes a top cover 372 and a bottom cover 374 that snap together to provide protection for the detector 300. The detector 300 also includes a circuit board 380, which is positioned on the bottom surface of the labyrinth 340 (the surface opposite the surface on which the light guides 310, 320 are positioned) when assembled, to provide a circuit portion for the smoke detector. The detector 300 may also include a light guide 360 mounted to the labyrinth 340 for directing light from an alarm indicator (not shown) on the circuit board to the top cover 372 for visibility by a user.
In the smoke detector shown in fig. 3, the labyrinth 340 and the labyrinth cover 350 are assembled (e.g., fastened to each other) to form a detection chamber 110 therebetween. In the example of fig. 3, the smoke detector 300 is in a horizontal or horizontal smoke detection mode. Specifically, as shown in the simplified schematic diagram of fig. 4, the plane formed by the optical axis of the light emitting element 120 and the optical axis of the light receiving element 130 respectively disposed in the first and second light guiding covers is parallel to the plane of the bottom plate 341 of the labyrinth 340.
The detection chamber 110 is configured to enable smoke particles floating in the vicinity of the smoke detector to enter the labyrinth detection chamber 110. In the present invention, smoke preferably enters the detection chamber from the top of the detection chamber 110, i.e., through the labyrinth cover.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the included angle between the optical axes of the optical components installed in the first and second light guide covers shown in FIG. 3. The light emitting element 120 is adapted to be received within the first light guide housing 310 and the light receiving element 130 is adapted to be received within the second light guide housing 320. As shown in fig. 5, the included angle β between the optical axes of the light emitting element 120 and the light receiving element 130 disposed in the light guide cover is smaller than 90 °, i.e., the light emitting element and the light receiving element form a back scattering structure as shown in fig. 2. Specifically, in order to increase the intensity of the scattered light finally incident on the light receiving element 130, the first and second light guiding covers may be preferably positioned such that the optical axis angle β of the light emitting element 120 and the light receiving element 130 placed therein is 50 ° to 70 °, and more preferably about β to 60 °. β is an angle range of 50 ° to 70 ° in which the detection sensitivity for smoke is optimal. And, the optical axis included angle structure is easy to arrange, namely, the compact structure is ensured, and meanwhile, the interference among all parts is avoided. .
Fig. 6A and 6B are schematic structural diagrams of a first light guide cover 310 and a second light guide cover 320 according to an embodiment. As shown in fig. 6A and 6B, the first light guide cover 310 has a first light-transmitting window 311 and a light-emitting channel 312, and the first light guide cover 310 is disposed in the detection cavity 110 and is adapted to accommodate or mount the light-emitting element 120, and enable the emergent light of the light-emitting element 120 to pass through the light-emitting channel 312 and the first light-transmitting window 311 and be projected into the detection cavity 110.
The second light guide 320 has a second light-transmitting window 321 and a light-receiving channel 322, and the second light guide 320 is also disposed in the detection chamber 110 and is adapted to receive or mount the light-receiving element 130, and enable the light-receiving element 130 to receive scattered light from the detection chamber 110, and the scattered light can be incident on the light-receiving surface of the light-receiving element 130 through the second light-transmitting window 321 and the light-receiving channel 322.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6A and 6B, the first light-transmitting window 311 and the second light-transmitting window 321 are located in the same plane, i.e., in a plane perpendicular to the optical axes of the light-emitting device 120 and the light-receiving device 130. Thus, the light emitted from the first light-transmitting window 311 by the light-emitting element 120 does not directly enter the receiving surface of the light-receiving element 130 through the second light-transmitting window 321, so that the interference of the light which is not scattered by smoke particles entering the receiving surface of the light-receiving element 130 on the detection result can be avoided, and the shielding of useless stray light is realized. Further, preferably, a light shielding protrusion (not shown) may be further disposed on the first light guide cover 310 and disposed between the first light transmissive window 311 and the second light transmissive window 321, so as to further prevent the light emitted from the first light transmissive window 311 from directly entering the second light transmissive window 321.
As shown in fig. 6B, in one embodiment, a first light extinction structure 313 is disposed on at least one side of the first light guide cover 310 corresponding to the light emitting channel 312 of the light emitting element 120. At least one side of the second light guide cover 320 corresponding to the light receiving channel 322 of the light receiving element 130 is provided with a second light extinction structure 323. Preferably, the first and second light attenuating structures 313, 323 may have a serrated surface, which may absorb and eliminate multiple reflections of light rays striking the sides of the light tunnel. Undesired light rays or stray light that strike and are reflected by the channel sidewalls may be absorbed or reduced by the provision of the first and second light extinction structures 313, 323. Therefore, the structure can further eliminate stray light.
In this embodiment, preferably, the first light guide cover 310 and the second light guide cover 320 may be integrally formed on one surface of the labyrinth 340. Preferably, the first and second light guides are integrally formed with the labyrinth 340. Alternatively, the first light guide 310 and the second light guide 320 may be mounted on the labyrinth 340 by a separate component from the labyrinth 340, or even by a discrete component. In different embodiments, the first light guide cover 310 and the second light guide cover 320 may be configured in various shapes according to actual situations.
Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing an installation position of the shield cover 330 in the more preferred embodiment. As shown in fig. 7, the shielding cover 330 is disposed on the second light guide cover 320 (the second light guide cover 320 accommodates the light receiving element 130 therein). The shielding cover 330 may be a part of the second light guide cover 320, or may be a separate component that can be installed in cooperation with the second light guide cover 320. The shielding cover 330 covers at least the top of the second light guide cover 320, or can further cover the side of the second light guide cover 320, so as to prevent the light that is not scattered by the smoke particles from entering the receiving surface of the light receiving element 130 from the top or even the side of the second light guide cover 320. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the shield 330 may be absent.
FIG. 8 is a schematic distance diagram of the intersection of two optical components with the optical axis in another preferred embodiment. As shown in fig. 8, in one embodiment, assuming that the optical axis intersection of the light emitting element 120 and the light receiving element 130 is O1, the distance from the light emitting surface of the light emitting element 120 (where the light emitting chip is located) to the optical axis intersection O1 is a, and the distance from the optical axis intersection O1 to the light receiving surface of the light receiving element 130 is b. The inventor of the present invention proposes that the sum of the distance a and the distance b has a great influence on the sensitivity of smoke detection and the light intensity of the detection area. In order to improve the detection sensitivity of the smoke detector and the light intensity of the detection area, the sum of the distance a and the distance b is less than 36mm in the embodiment. For example, the distance a may be set to 10 to 15mm and the distance b may be set to 8 to 12mm, so that the sum of the distance a plus the distance b is preferably 18 to 27 mm. Therefore, the total distance from the emitting light to the back scattering is limited in a better range, so that the detection sensitivity of the smoke detector and the light intensity of the detection area can be improved.

As shown in fig. 9, in one embodiment, the distance from the light emitting surface of the first light emitting element 120 in the first light guide cover 310 to the first light transmission window 311 is f, and the area of the first light transmission window 311 is S1. The distance from the light receiving surface of the light receiving element 130 in the second light guide cover 320 to the second light transmission window 321 is e, and the area of the second light transmission window 321 is S2. In order to improve the detection sensitivity of the smoke detector and the light intensity of the detection region, in this embodiment, the ratio of the distance f to the area S1 of the first light-transmitting window 311 is set to about 1 to 1.1. The ratio of the distance e to the area S2 of the second light-transmitting window 321 is set to about 0.4 to 0.5. So set up sensitivity and the regional light intensity value of surveying that can improve the cigarette sense relatively effectively. In the present invention, the light receiving element may have an optical cover with a flush end portion, or may have an optical cover with an arched end portion. With respect to the latter, the light receiving surface thereof is distant from the second light transmitting window, whereby the ratio of the above-mentioned distance e to the area S2 of the second light transmitting window 321 is about 1.
For example, fig. 10 is a schematic size diagram of the first light-transmitting window 311 and the second light-transmitting window 321 in a further embodiment. As shown in fig. 10, if the area At of the first light-transmitting window 311 is set to approximately 8 square millimeters and the area Ar of the second light-transmitting window 321 is set to approximately 8.5 square millimeters, the distance f from the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting element 120 to the first light-transmitting window 311 can be set to 7.0 to 8.5 millimeters, and the distance e from the light-receiving surface of the light-receiving element 130 to the second light-transmitting window 321 can be set to 3.5 to 4.5 millimeters.
In fig. 9, in order to further improve the detection sensitivity of the smoke detector and the light intensity of the detection region, an included angle ω between the optical axis of the light receiving element 130 disposed in the second light guide cover 320 and the plane where the second light transmission window 321 is located may be set to 55 ° to 65 °, and an included angle θ between the optical axis of the light emitting element 120 and the plane where the first light transmission window 311 is located may be set to 180 ° - β - ω, where β represents the included angle between the two optical axes, and ω represents the included angle between the light receiving element 130 disposed in the second light guide cover 320 and the plane where the second light transmission window 321 is located.
Fig. 11 is a schematic view of a detection zone in yet another preferred embodiment. As shown in fig. 11, in one embodiment, in order to further improve the detection sensitivity of the smoke detector and the light intensity of the detection area, a reasonable emission and scattering angle of the light emitting element 120 may be set
Figure BDA0001395432980000121
And a light receiving angle γ of the light receiving element 130. For example, in one example, the emission scattering angle of the light emitting element 120 may be set
Figure BDA0001395432980000122
The light receiving angle γ of the light receiving element 130 is approximately equal to 55 ° to 70 °. Thus, a larger detection area as shown in fig. 10 can be obtained.
FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of the positions of the first light guide cover 310 and the second light guide cover 320 in the labyrinth 340 according to still another preferred embodiment. As shown in FIG. 12, in one embodiment, the intersection of the optical axes of the light emitting element 120 disposed in the first light guide housing 310 and the light receiving element 130 disposed in the second light guide housing 320 is O1. The optical axis intersection point O1 is shifted toward the first light guide cover 310 and the second light guide cover 320 side compared to the geometric center point of the detection chamber 110, and more preferably, the shift distance h may be larger than 4mm, for example, preferably 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.2mm, 6mm, and the like. Therefore, the light background value can be reduced, the directivity of the detector can be improved, and the detection sensitivity of the smoke detector can be further improved. Directionality here refers to the change in detection sensitivity as smoke enters the detection chamber from all directions around the detector. If the sensitivity has obvious correlation with the smoke entering direction, the directivity is poor; if the detection sensitivity is independent of the direction, the surface directivity is good, and the directivity index is closer to 1, the better the directivity is.
Fig. 13A and 13B are partial structural views of a labyrinth 340 in accordance with still another preferred embodiment. As shown in fig. 13A and 13B, in one embodiment, the smoke detector 300 further includes an intra-cavity extinction structure 390 located on the labyrinth 340 and disposed in a circumferential region of the detection cavity 110 facing the first light guide cover 310 and the second light guide cover 320. The intracavity extinction structure 390 can absorb and eliminate the light emitted from the light emitting device onto the wall of the detection chamber 110, so as to prevent the light from directly reflecting into the receiving surface of the light receiving device 130, thereby further eliminating the stray light entering into the receiving surface of the light receiving device 130. The intracavity light extinction structure 390 may be configured to have different structures according to actual situations, or may be configured to have a plurality of bending rib plates 391 extending in the radial direction and arranged in the circumferential direction as shown in fig. 13A and 13B, and the orientation of the bending rib plates 391 varies with position. The structure design can reflect, absorb and eliminate the light irradiated on the wall of the detection cavity by the light-emitting element for multiple times. The intracavity light extinction structure 390 may be integrally formed on the labyrinth 340, i.e., integrally formed with the labyrinth 340; alternatively, it may be a separate element fixed to the labyrinth 340.
As shown in fig. 13B, the radius R of the inner arc formed by the inner end points of the plurality of bending ribs 391, the bending angle μ of each bending rib 391, the angle θ between each bending rib 391 and the radial direction of the probing cavity 110, the angle omicron of the inner end point of each bending rib 391, and the like can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the radius R of the inner arc formed by the inner end points of the plurality of bent rib plates 391 may be set to 15 to 24mm, the bending angle μ of each bent rib plate 391 may be set to 130 to 170 °, each bent rib plate 391 may be set to an angle θ of 4 to 25 ° with respect to the radial direction of the detection cavity 110, and the tip angle of the inner end point of each bent rib plate 361 may be set to 25 to 35 °.
Figure 14 is a schematic view of the position of the smoke detector when mounted on top of a space such as a ceiling. FIG. 15 is a partial cross-sectional view of a smoke detector in accordance with one embodiment. As shown in fig. 14 and 15, in one embodiment, the smoke detector 300 may be a top-entry smoke detector, i.e., the smoke particles 10 enter from the top of the detection chamber 110 through the holes 351 in the labyrinth cover 350. Because smoke particles 10 are easily moved into and out of detector 110 through the top of smoke detector 300 for smoke detector mounted on the top of a space such as a ceiling, and do not accumulate in labyrinth 340. Therefore, the smoke jacking mode is favorable for reducing the accumulation of dust in the detection cavity, the influence of the dust on the detection background is reduced, and the smoke jacking mode has better directivity compared with the side smoke feeding mode.
Fig. 16A and 16B are schematic structural diagrams of the labyrinth cover 350 in one embodiment, and fig. 16C is a schematic relative position relationship between a rib on the labyrinth cover 350 and the first light guide cover 310 and the second light guide cover 320. As shown in fig. 16A to 16C, the labyrinth cover 350 is provided with a rib 352 extending toward the inside of the detection cavity 110 on a surface facing the detection cavity 110, the rib 352 is bent toward one side of the first light guide housing 310 and the second light guide housing 320, and the rib 352 is preferably substantially V-shaped, preferably V-shaped with a flat bottom. The angle of the V-shape may be set according to the actual situation, for example, may be set to 120 °. This structural design can lead to the cigarette/air current that gets into to survey the chamber to make the cigarette flow direction as early as possible survey the region, thereby improve the granule efficiency that gets into to survey the chamber, improve the detectivity of smoke detector.

When the light emitting element 120 is a dual-band light emitting element, the application can fully utilize the difference in sensitivity of different wavelengths to smoke scattering, thereby improving the smoke detection performance and accuracy of the detector, and further improving the overall performance of the smoke detector. .
Through experiments on the backscatter smoke detector in the first embodiment, it can be found that the detection sensitivity of the backscatter smoke detector can reach more than 0.3dB/m, the directivity is 1.1, and the background value is less than 10 unit counting values.

Figure 18 is a schematic view of an assembly of a smoke detector according to one embodiment. As shown in fig. 18, the smoke detector 400 has one more light emitting element 410 and one more third light guiding cover 420 than the smoke detector 300 in the first embodiment shown in fig. 3, that is, the embodiment includes two light emitting elements. For convenience of description, in the present embodiment, two light emitting elements are referred to as a first light emitting element 120 and a second light emitting element 410, respectively. Accordingly, the light emitting channel 312 on the first light guide cover 310 may be referred to as a first light emitting channel 312.
In this embodiment, the smoke detector 400 may also adopt a horizontal or horizontal smoke detection mode. Specifically, as shown in the simplified schematic diagram of fig. 19, the plane formed by the optical axis of the first light emitting element 120, the optical axis of the second light emitting element 410, and the optical axis of the light receiving element 130 respectively disposed in the first, third, and second light guiding covers is parallel to the plane of the chassis 341 of the maze element 340.
FIG. 20 is a schematic view of the included angles of the light assemblies mounted in the first, third and second light guides of FIG. 18. As shown in fig. 20, the included angle β between the optical axes of the first light emitting element 120 and the light receiving element 130 is less than 90 °, i.e., a backscattering type structure, which is consistent with fig. 6. The second light emitting element 410 is adapted to be accommodated in the third light guiding cover 420, and forms an angle α with the optical axis of the light receiving element 130 larger than 90 °, that is, forms a forward scattering structure as shown in fig. 1, and forms a forward scattering + backward scattering structure. Specifically, in order to increase the intensity of the scattered light finally incident to the light receiving element 130, the position of the third light guide 420 may be preferentially set in addition to the positions where the first and second light guides are preferably set as described in the first kind of embodiments. In addition to the optical axis included angle β of the first light emitting element 120 and the light receiving element 130 placed therein being 50 ° to 70 °, the optical axis included angle α of the second light emitting element 410 and the light receiving element 130 may be 110 ° to 140 °, and α is 120 ° more preferably.
Fig. 21A and 21B are schematic structural views of first, second, and third light guide covers according to an embodiment. As shown in fig. 21A and 21B, the structures of the first and second light guide covers are the same as those in fig. 6A and 6B, and are not described again here. The third light guide cover 420 has a third light transmission window 421 and a second light transmission channel 422, and the third light guide cover 420 is disposed in the detection cavity 110 and is adapted to accommodate or mount the second light emitting element 410, so that the emergent light of the second light emitting element 410 can pass through the light transmission channel 422 and the third light transmission window 421 and be projected into the detection cavity 110.
In this embodiment, the third light guide cover 320 may also be integrally formed on the labyrinth 340. Preferably, the first, second and third light guides are integrally formed with the labyrinth 340. Alternatively, the first, second and third light guides may be mounted on the labyrinth 340 by a separate component from the labyrinth 340, or even a discrete component. In different embodiments, the first, second and third light guides can be arranged in various shapes according to actual conditions.
In this embodiment, besides the first light-transmitting window 311 and the second light-transmitting window 321 can be located in the same plane as described in the first embodiment, the third light guide cover 420 can further have a first light-shielding extension 423 disposed on a side of the third light-transmitting window 421 close to the second light-transmitting window 321, and the first light-shielding extension is configured to prevent light projected from the third light-transmitting window 421 from directly entering the second light-transmitting window 321. Preferably, an edge point of the third light-transmitting window 421, which is away from the light-receiving element 130, a top end of the first light-shielding extension 423, and an edge point of the second light-transmitting window 321, which is away from the second light-emitting element 410, may be located on the same straight line. In this embodiment, it is further preferable that a light shielding protrusion 314 is further disposed on the first light guide cover 310 and disposed between the first light transmission window 311 and the second light transmission window 321 to further prevent the light emitted from the first light transmission window 311 from directly entering the second light transmission window 321. With the above structure, the light that is not scattered by the smoke particles can be prevented from entering the receiving surface of the light receiving element 130, and the detection result can be prevented from being disturbed, that is, the shielding of the unwanted stray light can be realized.
As shown in fig. 21B, in addition to the first light extinction structure 313 preferably disposed in the first light guide cover 310 and the second light extinction structure 323 disposed in the second light guide cover 320 as described in the first embodiment, a third light extinction structure 424 may also be preferably disposed in the third light guide cover 420 corresponding to at least one side of the light emitting channel 422 of the second light emitting element 410. Preferably, the first, second and third light attenuating structures 313, 323, 424 may have a serrated surface, which absorbs and eliminates multiple reflections of light impinging on the sides of the light tunnel. The provision of a light-attenuating structure within the light channels may absorb or reduce unwanted or stray light impinging on the side walls of the light channels.
In addition, the second light extinction structure 323 in the second light guide cover 320 may further have a light trap portion 3231 located in a region close to the second light transmission window 321 and close to the second light emitting element 410, and the light trap portion 3231 has at least one recess, and the depth of the recess is greater than other portions of the second light extinction structure 323. The design of the light trap portion can further absorb or reduce the undesired stray light emitted by the second light emitting element 410, reflected by the inner sidewall of the detection cavity, and then irradiated to the channel sidewall region through the second light-transmitting window, thereby preventing the stray light from entering the light receiving element.
In this embodiment, the installation manner of the shielding cover 330 may be the same as that in fig. 7, and is not described herein again.

Thus, in addition to the sum of the distance a and the distance b being smaller than 36mm as described in the first embodiment, the sum of the distance c and the distance d may be set smaller than 49 mm. For example, in addition to the distance a being 10 to 15mm and the distance b being 8 to 12mm, the distance c being 15 to 20mm and the distance d being 7 to 12mm, the sum of the distance a plus the distance b is preferably 18 to 27mm, and the sum of the distance c plus the distance d is preferably 22 to 32 mm.
