Description

本発明は光電式煙感知器に関し、特に検煙部に流入した湯気による誤報を防止することができる光電式煙感知器に関する。   The present invention relates to a photoelectric smoke detector, and more particularly, to a photoelectric smoke detector that can prevent erroneous reporting due to steam flowing into a smoke detector.

従来の光電式煙感知器としては、例えば「検煙部本体5の下面には検煙部カバー11が脱着自在に取り付けられる。検煙部カバー11の周壁12の内側には複数のラビリンス部材13が形成され、ラビリンス部材13は外部からの煙を流入しやすくするとともに、外部からの光を遮断するように形成されている。また、検煙部カバー11の周壁12の外側には防虫網14が一体的に設けられ、虫が侵入して散乱光が発生するのを防止するようにしている。また、検煙部カバー11の周壁12には複数の煙流入口15が形成されている。検煙部本体5の下面には、ホルダ16,17、遮光部材18および取付部19が一体に形成され、ホルダ16には受光素子20とテスト用赤外線LEDが収納され、ホルダ17には煙検出用赤外線LED21が収納される。遮光部材18は煙検出用赤外線LED21から照射される赤外光が受光素子20に直接入射しないように遮光する。取付部19には検煙部カバー11に形成された突起部22が挿入され、検煙部本体5に検煙部カバー11が脱着自在に取り付けられる。」(例えば、特許文献1参照)というものが提案されている。   As a conventional photoelectric smoke detector, for example, “a smoke detector cover 11 is detachably attached to the lower surface of the smoke detector body 5. A plurality of labyrinth members 13 are provided inside the peripheral wall 12 of the smoke detector cover 11. The labyrinth member 13 is formed so as to facilitate the inflow of smoke from the outside and to block the light from the outside. Are integrally provided to prevent insects from invading and generating scattered light, and a plurality of smoke inlets 15 are formed in the peripheral wall 12 of the smoke detecting section cover 11. Holders 16 and 17, a light shielding member 18, and a mounting part 19 are integrally formed on the lower surface of the smoke detector body 5. The light receiving element 20 and a test infrared LED are housed in the holder 16. Infrared LED21 The light shielding member 18 shields the infrared light emitted from the smoke detecting infrared LED 21 so as not to directly enter the light receiving element 20. The protrusion portion 22 formed on the smoke detecting portion cover 11 is attached to the attachment portion 19.

特許2787001号公報(段落0014〜0016、第2図,第3図)Japanese Patent No. 2787001 (paragraphs 0014 to 0016, FIGS. 2 and 3)

従来の光電式煙感知器(例えば、特許文献1参照)における検煙部は、周縁部に壁体(ラビリンス部材)が形成された煙流入部内に、発光素子(煙検出用赤外線LED)及び受光素子が設けられていた。つまり、従来の光電式煙感知器は、発光素子と受光素子が設けられた実装部と、煙流入部とが分けられていなかった。したがって、調理場所やホテルの部屋の浴室等で発生した湯気が検煙部に流入すると、誤報してしまうという問題点があった。   A smoke detector in a conventional photoelectric smoke detector (for example, see Patent Document 1) includes a light emitting element (infrared LED for smoke detection) and a light receiving portion in a smoke inflow portion in which a wall (labyrinth member) is formed at the peripheral portion. An element was provided. That is, in the conventional photoelectric smoke detector, the mounting portion provided with the light emitting element and the light receiving element is not separated from the smoke inflow portion. Therefore, when steam generated in a cooking place or a bathroom of a hotel room flows into the smoke detector, there is a problem that a false alarm is generated.

本発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、検煙部に湯気が流入しても誤報を防止することができる光電式煙感知器を得ることを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain a photoelectric smoke detector that can prevent false alarms even if steam flows into the smoke detector.

本発明に係る光電式煙感知器は、検煙部と、検煙部の出力信号に基づいて火災を判断する火災判別部と、を有し、火災判別部が火災と判断すると火災信号を出力する光電式煙感知器において、検煙部は、実装部と、実装部の下側に重ねて配置された煙流入部と、を備え、実装部は、実装部の内部に光を照射する発光素子と、発光素子から照射され、検煙部の煙粒子により生じる散乱光を受光する受光素子と、を有し、煙流入部は、実装部と連通するための開口部を有する仕切り壁と、仕切り壁の下面から下方に立設され、煙流入部に外光が入射することを防止する複数の壁体と、壁体の間に形成された煙流入口と、を有し、壁体が形成される仕切り壁の下面は、煙流入部に流入した煙を開口部から実装部へ流入させるために、開口部に向かうにしたがって上方に向けて傾斜する傾斜面となっているものである。   The photoelectric smoke detector according to the present invention has a smoke detector and a fire discriminator for judging a fire based on an output signal of the smoke detector, and outputs a fire signal when the fire discriminator judges a fire. In the photoelectric smoke detector, the smoke detection unit includes a mounting unit and a smoke inflow unit disposed on the lower side of the mounting unit, and the mounting unit emits light to irradiate light inside the mounting unit. And a light receiving element that receives scattered light emitted from the smoke particles of the smoke detector, and the smoke inflow part has a partition wall having an opening for communicating with the mounting part, A plurality of wall bodies that are erected downward from the lower surface of the partition wall and prevent external light from entering the smoke inflow portion, and a smoke inflow port formed between the wall bodies, and the wall body The lower surface of the formed partition wall is directed toward the opening in order to allow the smoke flowing into the smoke inflow portion to flow into the mounting portion from the opening. It is therefore intended that an inclined surface inclined upward.

また、本発明に係る光電式煙感知器は、仕切り壁の傾斜面に沿った煙が、実装部に形成された煙検出部に誘導されるように、傾斜面の角度と開口部の内径とが設定されるものである。   In addition, the photoelectric smoke detector according to the present invention includes an angle of the inclined surface and an inner diameter of the opening so that the smoke along the inclined surface of the partition wall is guided to the smoke detecting portion formed in the mounting portion. Is set.

本発明においては、検煙部は、発光素子と受光素子が設けられた実装部と煙流入部とが分けられている。また、実装部と煙流入部とは、煙流入部が下側になるように重ねて配置され、開口部で連通されている。このため、煙流入部に流入した湯気は、粒子の質量が大きいため慣性が大きい。よって、流動状態を変化させにくいので、実装部にほとんど流入することなく煙流入部を通過する。一方、煙流入部に流入した煙は、粒子の質量が小さいため慣性が小さい。よって、流動状態を変化させやすいので、開口部を介して実装部に流入する。そして、発光素子から照射された光がこの実装部に流入した煙によって散乱されたときの散乱光を受光素子が受光し、火災判断部が火災を判断する。したがって、検煙部(煙流入部)に湯気が流入しても誤報することなく、火災を判断することができる光電式煙感知器を得ることができる。また、壁体が形成される仕切り壁の下面は、開口部に向かうにしたがって上方に向けて傾斜する傾斜面となっており、煙流入部に流入した煙を傾斜面により開口部へ誘導して実装部に流入させるため、低い風速の煙でも速やかに実装部まで流入させることが可能である。よって、火災の検出性能を高めることができる。   In the present invention, the smoke detecting section is divided into a mounting section provided with a light emitting element and a light receiving element and a smoke inflow section. Further, the mounting portion and the smoke inflow portion are arranged so that the smoke inflow portion is on the lower side, and communicated with each other through the opening. For this reason, the steam flowing into the smoke inflow portion has a large inertia because the mass of the particles is large. Therefore, since it is difficult to change the flow state, it passes through the smoke inflow portion with almost no flow into the mounting portion. On the other hand, the smoke flowing into the smoke inflow portion has a small inertia because the mass of the particles is small. Therefore, since the flow state is easily changed, it flows into the mounting portion through the opening. Then, the light receiving element receives the scattered light when the light emitted from the light emitting element is scattered by the smoke flowing into the mounting part, and the fire determining part determines a fire. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a photoelectric smoke detector that can determine a fire without erroneous reporting even if steam flows into the smoke detector (smoke inlet). In addition, the lower surface of the partition wall on which the wall body is formed is an inclined surface that is inclined upward toward the opening, and the smoke that has flowed into the smoke inflow portion is guided to the opening by the inclined surface. Since the air flows into the mounting portion, it is possible to promptly flow even smoke with a low wind speed to the mounting portion. Therefore, the fire detection performance can be enhanced.

また、仕切り壁の傾斜面に沿った煙が、実装部に形成された煙検出部に誘導されるように、傾斜面の角度と開口部の内径とを設定するようにしたので、煙検出部への煙の誘導を実現でき、更に火災の検出性能を高めることができる。   In addition, since the smoke along the inclined surface of the partition wall is guided to the smoke detecting portion formed in the mounting portion, the angle of the inclined surface and the inner diameter of the opening are set. Smoke can be guided to the fire, and the fire detection performance can be further enhanced.

Hereinafter, the fire alarm device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, description will be made in accordance with the vertical and horizontal directions in FIG.

火災警報器の検煙部1は、煙流入部10及び実装部20等から構成されている。煙流入部10は、略円筒形状をしており、板状の仕切り壁11及び壁体12等から構成されている。仕切り壁11は略円板状を成し、その略中心部には煙流入部10とその上部に配置された実装部20とを互いに連通させるための開口部13が形成されている。また、仕切り壁11の外縁部には、後述する発光素子ホルダ26及び受光素子ホルダ27のそれぞれに対応する位置に、外方に向けて突出する凸部11a及び凸部11bが形成されている。また、仕切り壁11の下面側の外周部には、複数の例えば略J字状の壁体12が所定の間隔を空けて略円環状に立設配置されている。壁体12は、煙流入部10へ外光が入射することを防止している。また、各壁体12間に形成された空間(所定の間隔)は、煙流入部10に煙が流入するための煙流入口14となっている。煙流入部10の下面側開口部は蓋体16により閉塞されており、煙流入部10内が暗箱となっている。また、煙流入部10の側面部には、煙流入口14から虫が侵入することを防止するため、防虫網(図示せず)が設けられている。   The smoke detector 1 of the fire alarm is composed of a smoke inflow portion 10 and a mounting portion 20. The smoke inflow portion 10 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and includes a plate-like partition wall 11 and a wall body 12. The partition wall 11 has a substantially disk shape, and an opening 13 is formed at a substantially central portion thereof for allowing the smoke inflow portion 10 and the mounting portion 20 disposed above the smoke inflow portion 10 to communicate with each other. Further, on the outer edge portion of the partition wall 11, convex portions 11 a and convex portions 11 b projecting outward are formed at positions corresponding to a light emitting element holder 26 and a light receiving element holder 27 described later. A plurality of, for example, substantially J-shaped wall bodies 12 are erected and arranged in a substantially annular shape at a predetermined interval on the outer peripheral portion on the lower surface side of the partition wall 11. The wall body 12 prevents external light from entering the smoke inflow portion 10. A space (predetermined interval) formed between the wall bodies 12 serves as a smoke inlet 14 for smoke to flow into the smoke inflow portion 10. The opening on the lower surface side of the smoke inflow portion 10 is closed by the lid body 16, and the inside of the smoke inflow portion 10 is a dark box. In addition, an insect net (not shown) is provided on the side surface of the smoke inflow portion 10 in order to prevent insects from entering from the smoke inlet 14.

また、複数の壁体12が下方に向けて立設配置されている仕切り壁11の下面は、煙流入口14から煙流入部10に流入した煙を開口部13へと誘導するための傾斜面13aとなっている。傾斜面13aは、仕切り壁11の外周側から内側の開口部13に向かうにしたがって上方に傾斜する傾斜面となっている。この傾斜面13aの角度及び開口部13の内径は、傾斜面13aに沿って開口部13へ向かった煙が、実装部20内の後述の煙検出部25(図4参照)へと誘導されるように設定されている。   In addition, the lower surface of the partition wall 11 in which the plurality of wall bodies 12 are erected downward is an inclined surface for guiding the smoke flowing into the smoke inflow portion 10 from the smoke inlet 14 to the opening 13. 13a. The inclined surface 13 a is an inclined surface that inclines upward from the outer peripheral side of the partition wall 11 toward the inner opening 13. The angle of the inclined surface 13a and the inner diameter of the opening 13 are such that the smoke directed toward the opening 13 along the inclined surface 13a is guided to a smoke detecting unit 25 (see FIG. 4) described later in the mounting unit 20. Is set to

煙流入部10の上方には、実装部20が設けられている。この実装部20は、光学台21、発光素子22、受光素子23及び遮光部材24等から構成されている。光学台21は下部が開口した略円筒形状となっており、上部には回路基板2が取り付けられ、下部開口には煙流入部10の仕切り壁11が取り付けられている。光学台21の上面は一部開口しているが、その開口は回路基板2によって閉塞されており、光学台21の内部は暗箱となっている。このように暗箱とされた実装部20内に、発光素子22及び受光素子23が実装されている。なお、煙流入部10及び実装部20とは、仕切り壁11に設けられた開口部13を介して互いに連通している。また、本実施の形態では、実装部20の高さ寸法が煙流入部10の高さ寸法よりも大きくなっている。   A mounting portion 20 is provided above the smoke inflow portion 10. The mounting unit 20 includes an optical bench 21, a light emitting element 22, a light receiving element 23, a light shielding member 24, and the like. The optical bench 21 has a substantially cylindrical shape with an opening at the bottom, the circuit board 2 is attached to the top, and the partition wall 11 of the smoke inflow portion 10 is attached to the bottom opening. Although the upper surface of the optical bench 21 is partially opened, the opening is closed by the circuit board 2 and the inside of the optical bench 21 is a dark box. Thus, the light emitting element 22 and the light receiving element 23 are mounted in the mounting part 20 made into a dark box. Note that the smoke inflow portion 10 and the mounting portion 20 communicate with each other via an opening 13 provided in the partition wall 11. Further, in the present embodiment, the height dimension of the mounting portion 20 is larger than the height dimension of the smoke inflow portion 10.

発光素子22及び受光素子23は、光学台21に設けられた発光素子ホルダ26及び受光素子ホルダ27によって保持され、光学台21内に実装されている。発光素子ホルダ26及び受光素子ホルダ27は、光学台21の外周部から内側に向けて突出するように設けられている。発光素子ホルダ26は、例えばフック等からなる一対の保持部材26a(図4参照)を有し、発光素子22は、これら保持部材26aに挟持されて発光素子ホルダ26に保持されている。また、発光素子22のリード部は、略直角に上方に向けて曲げられており、発光素子ホルダ26に形成された貫通孔26bを通過した後、光学台21から上方に突出している。   The light emitting element 22 and the light receiving element 23 are held by a light emitting element holder 26 and a light receiving element holder 27 provided on the optical bench 21, and are mounted in the optical bench 21. The light emitting element holder 26 and the light receiving element holder 27 are provided so as to protrude inward from the outer peripheral portion of the optical bench 21. The light emitting element holder 26 has a pair of holding members 26a (see FIG. 4) made of hooks or the like, for example, and the light emitting element 22 is held between the holding members 26a and held by the light emitting element holder 26. In addition, the lead portion of the light emitting element 22 is bent upward at a substantially right angle, and protrudes upward from the optical bench 21 after passing through a through hole 26 b formed in the light emitting element holder 26.

受光素子23は、シールドケース28内に設けられ、このシールドケース28と共に受光素子ホルダ27に収納されている。シールドケース28は略角筒形状をしており、その上部及び受光素子23の受光部と対向する範囲は開口している。このシールドケース28内には、背面から内方に向けて突出する例えば押さえ片等からなる保持部材28aが設けられており、受光素子23は、この保持部材28aとシールドケース28の内側面とに挟持されてシールドケース28内に配置されている。シールドケース28の上端の一部は上方に向けて延びる凸部28bとなっており、この凸部28bを回路基板2に形成された開口部に挿通させて半田付けすることによって、シールドケース28及び受光素子23が回路基板2に固定されている。   The light receiving element 23 is provided in the shield case 28 and is housed in the light receiving element holder 27 together with the shield case 28. The shield case 28 has a substantially rectangular tube shape, and an upper portion thereof and a range facing the light receiving portion of the light receiving element 23 are open. In the shield case 28, a holding member 28 a made of, for example, a pressing piece that protrudes inward from the back surface is provided. The light receiving element 23 is provided between the holding member 28 a and the inner side surface of the shield case 28. It is sandwiched and arranged in the shield case 28. A part of the upper end of the shield case 28 is formed as a convex portion 28b extending upward. The convex portion 28b is inserted into an opening formed in the circuit board 2 and soldered, whereby the shield case 28 and The light receiving element 23 is fixed to the circuit board 2.

発光素子22及び受光素子23は、図4に示すように、光学台21内に収納された状態において、発光素子22はその照射範囲22bが光学台21の略中心部を向くように設けられており、受光素子23はその受光範囲23bが光学台21の略中心部を向くように設けられている。また、発光素子22の光軸22aと受光素子23の光軸23aは、側面視において略平行となり、平面視において所定の角度をなし、互いの照射範囲22b及び受光範囲23bが重なるように設けられている。そして、その重なり合った部分(煙検出部25)で煙の検出を行う。より詳しくは、発光素子22から照射された光がこの煙検出部25に進入する煙によって散乱される光を、受光素子23は受光する。   As shown in FIG. 4, the light emitting element 22 and the light receiving element 23 are provided so that the irradiation range 22 b of the light emitting element 22 faces the substantially central portion of the optical bench 21 in a state of being housed in the optical bench 21. The light receiving element 23 is provided such that the light receiving range 23 b faces the substantially central portion of the optical bench 21. Further, the optical axis 22a of the light emitting element 22 and the optical axis 23a of the light receiving element 23 are substantially parallel in a side view, have a predetermined angle in a plan view, and are provided so that the irradiation range 22b and the light receiving range 23b overlap each other. ing. Then, smoke is detected at the overlapping portion (smoke detection unit 25). More specifically, the light receiving element 23 receives light scattered by the smoke that is emitted from the light emitting element 22 and enters the smoke detection unit 25.

また、発光素子22の光軸22aと受光素子23の光軸23aとのなす角度が鋭角となる側の光学台21には、下方に向けて突出する遮光部材24が立設されている。この遮光部材24の平面視における断面形状は、例えば略六角形状をしており、光学台21の中心部側の角部を略コ字状に切り欠いた形状となっている。これにより、遮光部材24には、エッジ部24a及びエッジ部24bが形成されている。エッジ部24aは、発光素子22の照射した光を受光素子23が直接受光することを防止している。エッジ部24bは、エッジ部24aで乱反射した光を受光素子23が受光することを防止している。   Further, a light shielding member 24 protruding downward is provided on the optical bench 21 on the side where the angle formed by the optical axis 22a of the light emitting element 22 and the optical axis 23a of the light receiving element 23 is an acute angle. The cross-sectional shape of the light shielding member 24 in a plan view is, for example, a substantially hexagonal shape, and is a shape in which a corner on the center side of the optical bench 21 is cut out in a substantially U shape. Thus, the light shielding member 24 is formed with an edge portion 24a and an edge portion 24b. The edge portion 24a prevents the light receiving element 23 from directly receiving the light emitted from the light emitting element 22. The edge portion 24b prevents the light receiving element 23 from receiving the light irregularly reflected by the edge portion 24a.

実装部20は、回路基板2の下面部に実装されている。この回路基板2には複数の電気部品(図示せず)が実装されており、これら電気部品が火災判別部3を構成する。実装部20が回路基板2に実装された状態においては、発光素子22及び受光素子23と火災判別部3は電気的に接続されている。そして、火災判別部3は、受光素子23が検出する受光量に基づいて火災が発生したか否かを判別する。受光素子23が検出する受光量は、例えば電圧等によって火災判別部3に出力される。   The mounting portion 20 is mounted on the lower surface portion of the circuit board 2. A plurality of electrical components (not shown) are mounted on the circuit board 2, and these electrical components constitute a fire determination unit 3. In a state where the mounting unit 20 is mounted on the circuit board 2, the light emitting element 22 and the light receiving element 23 and the fire determination unit 3 are electrically connected. And the fire discrimination | determination part 3 discriminate | determines whether the fire broke out based on the light reception amount which the light receiving element 23 detects. The amount of received light detected by the light receiving element 23 is output to the fire discriminating unit 3 by voltage or the like, for example.

検煙部1及び回路基板2は、煙流入部10への通気性が確保された筐体(図示せず)内に設けられ、火災警報器を構成する。そして、この火災警報器は、例えば家屋、ビル及びホテルの室内等の監視空間に設置される。火災警報器が監視空間の天井面に取り付けられた状態においては、火災警報器は、図1に示すように、煙流入部10が下側となって設置される。   The smoke detector 1 and the circuit board 2 are provided in a casing (not shown) in which air permeability to the smoke inflow portion 10 is ensured, and constitute a fire alarm. The fire alarm is installed in a monitoring space such as a house, a building, or a hotel room. In a state where the fire alarm is attached to the ceiling surface of the monitoring space, the fire alarm is installed with the smoke inflow portion 10 on the lower side as shown in FIG.

火災警報器は、例えばリチウム電池である電池30を駆動源としている。つまり、電池30は、検煙部1の発光素子22や回路基板2の火災判別部3等に電源供給する。この電池30は、回路基板2の側方に設けられ、特に、発光素子22の光軸22aと受光素子23の光軸23aとのなす角度が鋭角となる側の側方に設けられている。また、電池30を収納する電池収納部は、実装部20の上面部と側面部の一部を切り欠いて形成された空間を利用して、平面視において実装部20と電池30(電池収納部)とが一部重なるように配置されている。これにより、火災警報器を小型化、薄型化することができる。なお、実装部20の切り欠かれた部分は、外光が入射するのを防止するため、閉塞されている。   The fire alarm device uses a battery 30 which is, for example, a lithium battery as a drive source. That is, the battery 30 supplies power to the light emitting element 22 of the smoke detector 1, the fire determination unit 3 of the circuit board 2, and the like. The battery 30 is provided on the side of the circuit board 2, and in particular, on the side of the side where the angle between the optical axis 22 a of the light emitting element 22 and the optical axis 23 a of the light receiving element 23 is an acute angle. In addition, the battery storage unit that stores the battery 30 uses the space formed by cutting out part of the upper surface part and the side surface part of the mounting part 20, and the mounting part 20 and the battery 30 (battery storage part) in plan view. ) And partly overlap. Thereby, a fire alarm can be reduced in size and thickness. Note that the notched portion of the mounting portion 20 is closed to prevent external light from entering.

なお、電池30(電池収納部)は、必ずしも本実施の形態に示す位置に設けられる必要はなく、実装部20の煙検出機能に支障がない部分を切り欠くようにして設けられていればよい。つまり、電池30(電池収納部)は、実装部20における発光素子22の煙検出部25までの照射範囲22b及び受光素子23の前記煙検出部25までの受光範囲23bを避けた部分を切り欠くように形成すればよい。発光素子22の光軸22aと受光素子23の光軸23aとのなす角度が鋭角となる側は、煙検出部25が遮光部材24により隔てられているので、電池30(電池収納部)を設けることによる実装部20の煙検出機能への影響が最も少ない場所である。このため、本実施の形態では、発光素子22の光軸22aと受光素子23の光軸23aとのなす角度が鋭角となる側の実装部20の上面部と側面部の一部を切り欠くようにして、電池30(電池収納部)を設けている。   In addition, the battery 30 (battery storage part) does not necessarily need to be provided at the position shown in the present embodiment, and may be provided so as to cut out a part that does not hinder the smoke detection function of the mounting part 20. . In other words, the battery 30 (battery storage unit) cuts out the portion of the mounting unit 20 that avoids the irradiation range 22b of the light emitting element 22 to the smoke detection unit 25 and the light receiving range 23b of the light receiving element 23 to the smoke detection unit 25. What is necessary is just to form. On the side where the angle formed by the optical axis 22a of the light emitting element 22 and the optical axis 23a of the light receiving element 23 is an acute angle, the smoke detection unit 25 is separated by the light shielding member 24, so a battery 30 (battery storage unit) is provided. This is the place where the influence on the smoke detection function of the mounting unit 20 is minimal. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a part of the upper surface portion and the side surface portion of the mounting portion 20 on the side where the angle formed by the optical axis 22a of the light emitting element 22 and the optical axis 23a of the light receiving element 23 is an acute angle is cut out. Thus, a battery 30 (battery storage part) is provided.

(Description of operation)
Next, the operation of the fire alarm device according to the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the smoke detector of the fire alarm according to the embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. FIG. 6A is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing a state where smoke has flowed into the smoke detector section 1, and the smoke flow in the smoke detector section 1 is indicated by a dashed arrow. FIG. 6B is a longitudinal sectional view showing a state in which steam has flowed into the smoke detector section 1, and the flow of steam in the smoke detector section 1 is indicated by broken arrows.

図6(a)に示すように、火災により発生した煙は、監視空間の天井面等に沿って流れ、検煙部1の煙流入部10に流入する。煙は粒子の質量が小さいため慣性が小さい。よって、流動状態を変化させやすいので、煙流入部10に流入した煙は、開口部13を通って実装部20へ流入する。ここで、煙流入部10から実装部20へ至る経路に、遮光部材24、発光素子22及び受光素子23が設けられていないため、煙流入部10に流入する煙の流れはこれらによって遮られることがない。このため、煙流入部10への煙流入特性が向上する。なお、遮光部材24は、必ずしも実装部20のみに設けられている必要はない。例えば、遮光部材24の下端を延出し、煙流入部10の煙流入特性が低下しない範囲で煙流入部10内に挿入するようにしてもよい。遮光部材24の下端が煙流入部10内に挿入するような長さとすることにより、発光素子22が照射する光を受光素子23が直接受光することを、より確実に防止することができる。   As shown in FIG. 6A, smoke generated by the fire flows along the ceiling surface of the monitoring space and flows into the smoke inflow section 10 of the smoke detector section 1. Smoke has low inertia because of its small particle mass. Therefore, since the flow state is easily changed, the smoke that has flowed into the smoke inflow portion 10 flows into the mounting portion 20 through the opening portion 13. Here, since the light shielding member 24, the light emitting element 22, and the light receiving element 23 are not provided in the path from the smoke inflow portion 10 to the mounting portion 20, the flow of smoke flowing into the smoke inflow portion 10 is blocked by these. There is no. For this reason, the smoke inflow characteristic to the smoke inflow part 10 improves. The light shielding member 24 is not necessarily provided only on the mounting portion 20. For example, the lower end of the light shielding member 24 may be extended and inserted into the smoke inflow portion 10 as long as the smoke inflow characteristics of the smoke inflow portion 10 do not deteriorate. By setting the length so that the lower end of the light shielding member 24 is inserted into the smoke inflow portion 10, it is possible to more reliably prevent the light receiving element 23 from directly receiving the light emitted by the light emitting element 22.

また、仕切り壁11の下面が外周側から開口部13に向かうにしたがって上方に傾斜する傾斜面13aとなっているため、煙流入部10に流入した煙がその傾斜面13aによって実装部20内へと誘導される。従って、低い風速の煙でも速やかに実装部20内まで流入させることが可能である。   Moreover, since the lower surface of the partition wall 11 becomes the inclined surface 13a which inclines upward as it goes to the opening part 13 from an outer peripheral side, the smoke which flowed into the smoke inflow part 10 in the mounting part 20 by the inclined surface 13a. It is induced. Therefore, it is possible to promptly flow smoke into the mounting portion 20 even with low wind speed smoke.

そして、実装部20に煙が流入すると、この煙によって発光素子22の照射した光が散乱する。この散乱光は受光素子23によって受光される。つまり、受光素子23の受光量が変化する。そして受光素子23は、受光量に応じた検出値(電圧等)を火災判別部3に出力する。この検出値に基づいて、火災判別部3は火災が発生したか否かを判別する。火災が発生したと判断すると、火災判別部3は、LED等の発光素子やブザー等の警報装置(図示せず)によって火災が発生したことを周囲に警報する。なお、本実施の形態では実装部20の高さ寸法が煙流入部10の高さ寸法よりも大きくなっているので、煙流入部10に流入した煙は実装部20へ流入しやすくなっている。このため、火災判別部3(火災警報器)は、速やかに火災を判断することができる。   And when smoke flows into the mounting part 20, the light irradiated by the light emitting element 22 is scattered by the smoke. This scattered light is received by the light receiving element 23. That is, the amount of light received by the light receiving element 23 changes. The light receiving element 23 outputs a detection value (voltage or the like) corresponding to the amount of received light to the fire determination unit 3. Based on this detection value, the fire determination unit 3 determines whether or not a fire has occurred. When it is determined that a fire has occurred, the fire determination unit 3 warns the surroundings that a fire has occurred by a light emitting element such as an LED or an alarm device (not shown) such as a buzzer. In the present embodiment, since the height dimension of the mounting portion 20 is larger than the height dimension of the smoke inflow portion 10, the smoke that has flowed into the smoke inflow portion 10 easily flows into the mounting portion 20. . For this reason, the fire discriminating unit 3 (fire alarm device) can quickly determine a fire.

一方、図6(b)に示すように、湯気は粒子の質量が大きいため慣性が大きい。よって、流動状態を変化させにくいので、煙流入部10に流入した湯気は、ほとんど実装部20に流入することなく煙流入部10を通過する。このため、実装部20内では、発光素子22の照射した光が湯気によって散乱することはない(又は少ない)。したがって、煙流入部10(検煙部1)に湯気が流入しても、火災判別部3は(火災警報器)火災であると誤判断することがない。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6B, steam has a large inertia because the mass of the particles is large. Therefore, since it is difficult to change the flow state, the steam that has flowed into the smoke inflow portion 10 passes through the smoke inflow portion 10 almost without flowing into the mounting portion 20. For this reason, in the mounting part 20, the light irradiated by the light emitting element 22 is not scattered (or less) by steam. Therefore, even if steam flows into the smoke inflow section 10 (smoke detection section 1), the fire determination section 3 (fire alarm) does not erroneously determine that there is a fire.

このように、本実施の形態では、検煙部1を、発光素子22及び受光素子23を実装する実装部20と、煙流入部10とに分け、且つ、実装部20を煙流入部10の上部に配置するようにした。このため、実装部20の下部側の煙流入部10に湯気が流入しても、その上部側に配置した実装部20には湯気が流入しない。よって、煙流入部10に流入した湯気により実装部20が誤報するのを防止できる火災警報器を得ることができる。   As described above, in the present embodiment, the smoke detector 1 is divided into the mounting part 20 for mounting the light emitting element 22 and the light receiving element 23 and the smoke inflow part 10, and the mounting part 20 is divided into the smoke inflow part 10. It was arranged at the top. For this reason, even if steam flows into the smoke inflow part 10 on the lower side of the mounting part 20, steam does not flow into the mounting part 20 arranged on the upper side. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a fire alarm capable of preventing the mounting unit 20 from misreporting due to steam flowing into the smoke inflow unit 10.

また、実装部20の高さ寸法が煙流入部10の高さ寸法よりも大きくなっているので、煙流入部10に流入した煙は実装部20へ流入しやすくなっている。このため、火災判別部3(火災警報器)は、精度よく火災を判断することができる。   Moreover, since the height dimension of the mounting part 20 is larger than the height dimension of the smoke inflow part 10, the smoke that has flowed into the smoke inflow part 10 easily flows into the mounting part 20. For this reason, the fire discrimination | determination part 3 (fire alarm device) can judge a fire accurately.

また、仕切り壁11の下面に、煙流入部10に流入した煙を実装部20内へと誘導する傾斜面13aを設けたため、その傾斜面13aによって煙を実装部20へと誘導することができ、低い風速の煙でも速やかに実装部20まで流入させることが可能となる。よって、火災の検出性能を高めることができる。   Further, since the inclined surface 13a for guiding the smoke flowing into the smoke inflow portion 10 into the mounting portion 20 is provided on the lower surface of the partition wall 11, the smoke can be guided to the mounting portion 20 by the inclined surface 13a. Thus, it is possible to promptly flow into the mounting portion 20 even with low wind speed smoke. Therefore, the fire detection performance can be enhanced.

また、その傾斜面13aの角度及び開口部13の内径は、傾斜面13aに沿って開口部13へと向かった煙が、実装部20内の煙検出部25(図4参照)に誘導されるように設定されているため、煙検出部25への煙の誘導を実現でき、更に火災の検出性能を高めることができる。   In addition, the angle of the inclined surface 13a and the inner diameter of the opening 13 are such that smoke directed toward the opening 13 along the inclined surface 13a is guided to the smoke detection unit 25 (see FIG. 4) in the mounting unit 20. Therefore, it is possible to realize the induction of smoke to the smoke detection unit 25 and to further improve the fire detection performance.

さらに、火災警報器が天井面と略直交する側壁面に向きを変えて設置されても、煙と湯気はそれぞれ図6(a),(b)の通りに流動するので、天井面取付時と同様な効果が得られる。   Furthermore, even if the fire alarm is installed on the side wall surface that is substantially orthogonal to the ceiling surface, the smoke and steam flow as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). Similar effects can be obtained.

なお、本実施の形態では散乱光式の火災警報器に本発明を実施したが、減光式の火災警報器に本発明を実施してもよい。また、火災感知器に本発明を実施することももちろん可能である。   In the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to a scattered light type fire alarm, but the present invention may be applied to a dimming type fire alarm. It is of course possible to implement the present invention on a fire detector.
