FIG. 8A shows a schematic structure of a conventional photoelectric separation type smoke sensor. As can be seen from FIG. 8A, in the conventional photoelectric separation type smoke sensor, the light of the light emitting element 102 of the sensor main body 100 is collimated by the lens 104 and becomes a projection beam 106 which crosses the surveillance space. Then, the beam 107 whose direction is changed by 180 ° by the recursive mirror (reflecting plate) 101 is condensed by the light receiving lens 105 and received by the light receiving element 103. Here, if smoke 110 generated by a fire exists in the monitoring space, the beam is dimmed and received. For example, when a light reception signal of 100 mv is normally lowered to 50 mv, a fire signal is emitted.

In such a fire detector, for example, as shown in FIG. 8B, when there is a shield 121 other than smoke in the monitoring area in the normal monitoring state, the light receiving output on the light receiving unit side. The fire may be accidentally detected because the fire drops. In such a case, a staff member goes out to the site where the fire detector is installed, confirms the presence of the shield, and removes the shield to return to the normal monitoring state. Further, in order to avoid such an unmonitored state due to the light being blocked by a shield, there is also a device that issues a trouble signal to call attention when the light reception signal becomes extremely small.

By the way, in the above conventional photoelectric separation type smoke sensor, the shield 121 having a low reflectance is used.
In the case of shielding by the above method, if the light receiving level of the light receiving unit is lowered by the shielding object and the trouble detecting operation is performed, it is possible to deal with it by the above method for the time being. However, when the reflectance of the shield is high, the light from the light emitting portion is shielded by the shield 1.
There is a problem that the sensor determines that the light is normal because the light is reflected at 20 and returns to the light receiving portion. In that case, the shield 12
In the range from 0 to the reflector 101, there is a problem that monitoring becomes impossible and a false alarm is given.

In a photoelectric separation type smoke detector including a determination unit that performs a detection output when the threshold value is less than or equal to a set threshold value, a first polarization filter disposed on the front surface of the reflector and a front surface of the light receiving unit for fire monitoring are disposed. A second polarization filter having the same polarization plane as that of the first polarization filter, a shield monitoring light receiving unit that detects the presence of a shield object in a monitoring area by the fire monitoring light emitting unit and the light receiving unit, and 90 ° with the above-mentioned first polarization filter arranged on the front surface of the light-receiving unit for monitoring the shield
A third polarizing filter having a deviated polarization plane is provided, and the light emitting section is intermittently turned on to alternately receive light by the fire monitoring light receiving section and the shielding object monitoring light receiving section, and the light is received when the fire monitoring light receiving section receives light. A photoelectric separated smoke detector, characterized in that a fire judgment is made by comparing the amount of light received and the amount of light received at the time of receiving the light-receiving part for shielding, and comparing the difference with the threshold value.
