Description

La présente invention est relative aux détecteurs d'incendie incluant une mémoire rémanente.The present invention relates to detectors fire including non-volatile memory.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention concerne un détecteur d'incendie comportant :

  • une unité centrale comportant une mémoire rémanente dans laquelle est enregistré un code représentatif d'au moins un élément caractéristique propre audit détecteur d'incendie,
  • un capteur d'incendie qui mesure une grandeur physique dont les variations permettent de détecteur l'existence d'un incendie au voisinage du détecteur d'incendie, ce capteur d'incendie fournissant à l'unité centrale un signal électrique analogique, dit signal de mesure, qui a une valeur représentative de la grandeur physique mesurée par le capteur d'incendie, l'élément caractéristique susmentionné incluant une valeur normale i0 du signal de mesure en l'absence d'incendie.
More particularly, the invention relates to a fire detector comprising:
  • a central unit comprising a non-volatile memory in which a code representative of at least one characteristic element specific to said fire detector is recorded,
  • a fire sensor which measures a physical quantity, the variations of which make it possible to detect the existence of a fire in the vicinity of the fire detector, this fire sensor supplying the central unit with an analog electrical signal, known as the measurement, which has a value representative of the physical quantity measured by the fire sensor, the aforementioned characteristic element including a normal value i0 of the measurement signal in the absence of fire.

Un tel détecteur d'incendie est divulgué dans le document : Research Disclosure n° 357, Janvier 1994 (Emsworth, GB, "Smoke detector with dirty chamber signal").Such a fire detector is disclosed in the document: Research Disclosure No. 357, January 1994 (Emsworth, GB, "Smoke detector with dirty chamber signal").

Les détecteurs d'incendie du genre en question doivent être entretenus à intervalles de temps réguliers, de façon à rester fiables.Fire detectors of the type in question must be maintained at regular time intervals, from way to stay reliable.

Toutefois, lorsque plusieurs types de détecteurs d'incendie sont installés dans un même bâtiment, ou lorsque ces détecteurs d'incendie ont été installés à des dates différentes, il est possible que ces détecteurs doivent être entretenus à des dates différentes.However, when several types of detectors are installed in the same building, or when these fire detectors were installed on dates different, these detectors may need to be serviced on different dates.

La gestion de ces entretiens devient alors complexe, d'autant plus que des détecteurs d'incendie peuvent éventuellement avoir été intervertis ou remplacés lors de leur dernier démontage pour entretien : dans ce cas, il est extrêmement difficile pour les techniciens de maintenance de repérer exactement les détecteurs d'incendie qui doivent être entretenus à une date donnée, d'autant plus que ces détecteurs sont en général difficilement accessibles.The management of these interviews then becomes complex, especially since fire detectors can possibly have been reversed or replaced during their last disassembly for maintenance: in this case, it is extremely difficult for maintenance technicians identify exactly the fire detectors that must be maintained on a given date, especially since these detectors are generally difficult to access.

Par ailleurs, habituellement, les services de maintenance se contentent de noter la date du dernier démontage d'un détecteur d'incendie pour entretien, sans toujours vérifier systématiquement et de façon fiable l'efficacité de cet entretien. Par conséquent, si l'entretien périodique d'un détecteur d'incendie a été mal fait, il peut ensuite donner des indications non fiables au moins jusqu'à sa prochaine date de démontage pour entretien.In addition, usually, the services of maintenance only note the date of the last disassembly of a fire detector for maintenance, without always check systematically and reliably the effectiveness of this interview. Therefore, if the interview of a fire detector was badly done, it can then give unreliable indications at least until its next disassembly date for maintenance.

La présente invention, qui est définie par les revendications, a notamment pour but de pallier ces inconvénients.The object of the present invention, which is defined by the claims, is in particular to overcome these drawbacks.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, un détecteur d'incendie du genre en question est essentiellement caractérisé en ce que le détecteur d'incendie comporte en outre des moyens d'interface permettant d'accéder au contenu de la mémoire rémanente sans démonter le détecteur d'incendie, (c'est-à-dire notamment sans l'ôter de son socle, ou sans le dévisser du plafond, ou sans ouvrir son boítier), en ce que la mémoire rémanente inclut en outre des dates auxquelles ont été effectuées des opérations de maintenance dudit détecteur d'incendie, et en ce que l'unité centrale est programmée pour comparer le signal de mesure à la valeur normale iO du signal de mesure à chaque fois qu'elle reçoit des moyens d'interface une instruction d'enregistrer une date de maintenance, et pour refuser cet enregistrement si le signal de mesure n'est pas compris entre i0 - Δ1 et i0 + Δ2, où Δ1 et Δ2 sont des valeurs prédéterminées.For this purpose, according to the invention, a fire detector of the genre in question is essentially characterized in that the fire detector further includes interface means allowing access to the contents of the memory retentive without dismantling the fire detector, (i.e. in particular without removing it from its base, or without unscrew from the ceiling, or without opening its case), in that non-volatile memory also includes dates when have been carried out maintenance operations of said fire detector, and in that the central unit is programmed to compare the measurement signal to the value normal iO of the measurement signal each time it receives interface means an instruction to record a maintenance date, and to refuse this registration if the measurement signal is not between i0 - Δ1 and i0 + Δ2, where Δ1 and Δ2 are predetermined values.

Grâce à ces dispositions, les services d'entretien peuvent accéder facilement au moins à la dernière date de maintenance préventive de chaque détecteur d'incendie, et ce sans avoir à démonter le détecteur d'incendie, souvent difficile d'accès puisque placé en hauteur.Thanks to these provisions, maintenance services can easily access at least the last date of preventive maintenance of each fire detector, and this without having to dismantle the fire detector, often difficult to access since it is placed high up.

Les services d'entretien peuvent donc déterminer aisément de façon fiable si un détecteur d'incendie particulier doit faire l'objet d'une maintenance préventive. Maintenance services can therefore determine easily reliably if a particular fire detector must be subject to preventive maintenance.

De plus, du fait que lors de chaque opération de maintenance préventive, la nouvelle date de maintenance n'est inscrite dans la mémoire rémanente du détecteur que si cette maintenance a permis de ramener le signal de mesure en l'absence d'incendie à une valeur suffisamment proche de la valeur normale i0, il est aisé de repérer les détecteurs d'incendie pour lesquels la maintenance a été mal faite ou s'avère insuffisante, et ce sans attendre la prochaine maintenance préventive. Par conséquent, la fiabilité de la détection d'incendie est améliorée.In addition, the fact that during each operation of preventive maintenance, the new maintenance date is only written to the non-volatile memory of the detector if this maintenance made it possible to bring the measurement signal back the absence of fire at a value sufficiently close to the normal value i0, it is easy to locate the detectors for which maintenance was poorly done or turns out to be insufficient, without waiting for the next Preventive maintenance. Therefore, the reliability of the fire detection is improved.

Dans des modes de réalisation préférés de l'invention, on a recours en outre à l'une et/ou à l'autre des dispositions suivantes :

  • les moyens d'interface comprennent un connecteur relié à l'unité centrale, le connecteur pouvant recevoir un connecteur complémentaire relié à un appareil extérieur en vue de faire communiquer cet appareil extérieur avec l'unité centrale ;
  • les moyens d'interface comprennent une liaison de communication entre le détecteur d'incendie et une centrale d'alarme : ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement avantageux, dans la mesure où il permet de connaítre, à partir de la centrale d'alarme, au moins la date de dernière maintenance de tous les détecteurs d'incendie reliés à cette centrale d'alarme ;
  • l'élément caractéristique susmentionné inclut en outre une date de fabrication dudit détecteur,
  • l'élément caractéristique susmentionné inclut en outre un numéro d'identification propre audit détecteur,
  • la mémoire rémanente contient en outre, pour chaque date de maintenance, la valeur du signal de mesure transmis à l'unité centrale par le capteur d'incendie au moment de l'enregistrement de ladite date de mesure ;
  • la valeur normale i0 du signal de mesure est une valeur mesurée en l'absence d'incendie pour le capteur d'incendie considéré, lors de sa fabrication ou de sa première mise en service.
In preferred embodiments of the invention, use is also made of one and / or the other of the following arrangements:
  • the interface means comprise a connector connected to the central unit, the connector being able to receive a complementary connector connected to an external device in order to make this external device communicate with the central unit;
  • the interface means comprise a communication link between the fire detector and an alarm center: this embodiment is particularly advantageous, insofar as it makes it possible to know, from the alarm center, at minus the date of the last maintenance of all the fire detectors connected to this alarm center;
  • the aforementioned characteristic element further includes a date of manufacture of said detector,
  • the aforementioned characteristic element also includes an identification number specific to said detector,
  • the non-volatile memory also contains, for each maintenance date, the value of the measurement signal transmitted to the central unit by the fire sensor at the time of recording of said measurement date;
  • the normal value i0 of the measurement signal is a value measured in the absence of fire for the fire sensor in question, during its manufacture or when it is put into service for the first time.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront au cours de la description détaillée suivante d'une de ses formes de réalisation, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif, en regard du dessin joint.Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear during the detailed description following of one of its embodiments, given as non-limiting example, with reference to the attached drawing.

Sur le dessin, la figure unique représente un détecteur d'incendie selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, relié à une centrale d'alarme et susceptible d'être relié à un boítier d'interface externe.In the drawing, the single figure represents a fire detector according to an embodiment of the invention, connected to an alarm center and capable of to be connected to an external interface box.

Le détecteur d'incendie 1 selon l'invention comporte un microprocesseur 2 incluant une mémoire rémanente 2a notamment de type EEPROM. Plus généralement, le capteur d'incendie 1 comporte une unité centrale qui inclut un circuit électronique programmable tel qu'un microprocesseur et une mémoire rémanente qui peut être ou non incluse dans le microprocesseur.The fire detector 1 according to the invention comprises a microprocessor 2 including a non-volatile memory 2a in particular EEPROM type. More generally, the fire sensor 1 has a central unit which includes a circuit programmable electronics such as a microprocessor and a non-volatile memory which may or may not be included in the microprocessor.

Le microprocesseur 2 comporte une entrée analogique 2a qui est reliée à un capteur d'incendie 3, lequel capteur d'incendie mesure une grandeur physique dont les variations permettent de détecter l'existence d'un incendie au voisinage du détecteur d'incendie 1. Le capteur d'incendie 3 peut être un capteur ionique de fumée, un capteur optique de fumée, un capteur thermique, ou autre.Microprocessor 2 has an analog input 2a which is connected to a fire sensor 3, which sensor measure a physical quantity whose variations allow to detect the existence of a fire in the vicinity of the fire detector 1. The fire sensor 3 can be an ionic smoke sensor, an optical sensor of smoke, a thermal sensor, or other.

Le capteur d'incendie 3 envoie à l'entrée analogique 2a du microprocesseur un signal électrique analogique i, dit signal de mesure, dont la valeur est représentative de la grandeur physique mesurée par le capteur d'incendie. La valeur du signal i qui est représentative de la grandeur physique mesurée peut être par exemple l'intensité ou la tension de ce signal.Fire sensor 3 sends to analog input 2a of the microprocessor an analog electrical signal i, called measurement signal, the value of which is representative of the physical quantity measured by the fire sensor. The value of signal i which is representative of the quantity measured physics can be for example the intensity or the voltage of this signal.

Le microprocesseur 2 compare le signal de mesure i à une valeur normale i0 de ce signal de mesure en l'absence d'incendie, et lorsque le signal de mesure i est suffisamment éloigné de sa valeur normale i0, le microprocesseur 2 détermine l'existence d'un incendie au voisinage du détecteur d'incendie 1, et il réagit par exemple en envoyant un message d'alarme à une centrale d'alarme 4, par l'intermédiaire d'une liaison 5, qui de préférence permet également d'envoyer des messages depuis la centrale d'alarme 4 vers le microprocesseur 2.Microprocessor 2 compares the measurement signal i at a normal value i0 of this measurement signal in the absence fire, and when the measurement signal i is sufficient far from its normal value i0, microprocessor 2 determines the existence of a fire in the vicinity of the detector fire 1, and it reacts for example by sending a alarm message to an alarm center 4, via a link 5, which preferably also allows send messages from alarm center 4 to the microprocessor 2.

La mémoire rémanente 2a du microprocesseur 2 comprend non seulement la valeur normale iO susmentionnée, mesurée juste après la fabrication du détecteur d'incendie 1 ou après sa première mise en service, mais encore la date des opérations de maintenance subies par le détecteur, ou au moins la date de la dernière opération de maintenance. De plus, la mémoire rémanente 2a inclut de préférence également la date de fabrication et le numéro de série propres au détecteur d'incendie 1.The non-volatile memory 2a of the microprocessor 2 comprises not only the normal value iO mentioned above, measured immediately after manufacture of the fire detector 1 or after its first commissioning, but still the date maintenance operations undergone by the detector, or minus the date of the last maintenance operation. Of moreover, the non-volatile memory 2a preferably also includes the date of manufacture and the serial number specific to the fire detector 1.

Ces données sont accessibles à un utilisateur depuis la centrale d'alarme 4, qui peut être pourvue pour cela par exemple d'un écran 4a et d'un clavier 4b.This data is accessible to a user from the alarm center 4, which can be provided for this by example of a screen 4a and a keyboard 4b.

Il est ainsi possible de planifier très facilement la maintenance des différents détecteurs d'incendie d'une installation complète, et de vérifier les références d'un détecteur d'incendie particulier dans cette installation, sans pour autant avoir à accéder physiquement à ce détecteur, qui généralement est disposé sous un plafond, donc est difficilement accessible.It is thus possible to plan very easily maintenance of the various fire detectors of a complete installation, and check the references of a particular fire detector in this installation, without having to physically access this detector, which is usually placed under a ceiling, so is hardly accessible.

De plus, le détecteur d'incendie 1 comporte un connecteur 6 relié au microprocesseur 2.In addition, the fire detector 1 includes a connector 6 connected to microprocessor 2.

Pendant les opérations de maintenance du détecteur d'incendie 1, lorsque ledit détecteur est démonté, il est ainsi possible de brancher sur le connecteur 6 un connecteur complémentaire 7 qui est relié à un boítier d'interface 8 par l'intermédiaire d'un câble 9, le boítier d'interface 8 comportant par exemple un écran 8a et un clavier 8b.During detector maintenance operations fire 1, when said detector is removed, it is thus possible to connect to connector 6 a connector complementary 7 which is connected to an interface box 8 via a cable 9, the interface box 8 comprising for example a screen 8a and a keyboard 8b.

Ainsi, à la fin des opérations de maintenance, il est possible de faire enregistrer dans la mémoire rémanente 2a, par l'intermédiaire du boítier d'interface 8, la date desdites opérations de maintenance.Thus, at the end of maintenance operations, it can be stored in non-volatile memory 2a, via the interface box 8, the date said maintenance operations.

Le microprocesseur 2 est programmé pour comparer la valeur du signal de mesure i à ladite valeur normale i0 au moment où ledit microprocesseur reçoit du boítier d'interface 8 l'ordre d'enregistrer la date de maintenance.Microprocessor 2 is programmed to compare the value of the measurement signal i at said normal value i0 at time when said microprocessor receives interface box 8 the order to record the maintenance date.

Si cette valeur i du signal de mesure n'est pas comprise entre des valeurs i0 - Δ1 et i0 + Δ2, où Δ1 et Δ2 sont des valeurs prédéterminées (par exemple, Δ1 et Δ2 peuvent valoir 5 % de i0), le microprocesseur 2 est programmé pour refuser l'enregistrement de la date de maintenance dans la mémoire rémanente 2a, et pour envoyer au boítier d'interface 8 un message indiquant ce refus.If this value i of the measurement signal is not between values i0 - Δ1 and i0 + Δ2, where Δ1 and Δ2 are predetermined values (for example, Δ1 and Δ2 can be worth 5% of i0), microprocessor 2 is programmed to refuse the recording of the maintenance date in nonvolatile memory 2a, and to send to interface box 8 a message indicating this refusal.

Ainsi, le microprocesseur 2 peut contrôler l'efficacité des opérations de maintenance, et cette efficacité est également contrôlable depuis la centrale d'alarme 4 si le détecteur d'incendie a été remonté malgré le refus d'enregistrement de la dernière date de maintenance.Thus, microprocessor 2 can control the efficiency maintenance operations, and this efficiency is also controllable from alarm center 4 if the fire detector was reassembled despite refusal to register from the last maintenance date.

Comme il va de soi, et comme il résulte d'ailleurs déjà de ce qui précède, l'invention ne se limite nullement à ceux de ses modes d'application et de réalisation qui ont été plus spécialement envisagés ; elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes qui sont revendiquées.As it goes without saying, and as it results from elsewhere already from the above, the invention is in no way limited to those of its modes of application and embodiments which have been more specifically contemplated; she embraces it, at otherwise, all variants that are claimed.
