Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a smoke sensor generating no erroneous operation, by prohibiting the input of the light from a light emitting part to a signal processing part during the predetermined time almost equal to the required time before said light reaches a light receiving part through a reflective body. CONSTITUTION:The pulse S1 from a pulse generation part 11 is sent out as an intermittent light pulse from a light emitting element 13 and reflected from a reflective body 2 to be received by a light receiving element 14 after the required time T1 corresponding to the length of a light path. The pulse S2 from the generating part 11 is delayed by the time T1 by a delay part 15 to be inputted to a gate part 16 as a gate opening signal S3. Therefore, even if smoke is present in the light path and reflected light due to smoke is detected by the light receiving element 14, the gate part 16 is not opened during this period. As a result, the reflected light due to smoke is prevented from passing through the gate part 16 and only the reflected light from the reflective body 2 passes through the gate part 16 to be inputted to a signal processing part 18. The attenuation quantity of the reflected light of the reflective body 2 is detected in the processing part 18 and, when the attenuation quantity is a predetermined value or more, a smoke detection signal is outputted as extinction due to smoke to prevent an erroneous operation due to the reflection of smoke.

To solve this problem, as shown in Section 3 and 1, the light emitting part and the light receiving part are housed in the same device main body 1, and a mirror is used to reflect the light beam sent out from the light emitting part to the light receiving part. By arranging the reflector 2 facing the device u main body 1 and earth lamp 1, the presence of smoke can be detected by the dimming of light due to the presence of smoke in the road. However, in this device, when smoke 3 is present near the device main body 1, the light beam emitted from the light emitting part is reflected by the smoke 3 as shown by the broken line in FIG. Since the light is introduced into the light receiving section, the amount of light received may not decrease even though smoke 3 is generated.
The presence of smoke 3 may not be detected accurately and malfunction may occur.

[Disclosure of the Invention 1 (Examples) Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. 1st
As shown in the figure, the main VC device 1 includes a pulse generator 11 that intermittently generates pulses, a light emitting element driver I2 that amplifies the pulses output from the pulse generator 11, and an output of the light emitting element driver 12. a light-emitting element 13 that receives the light and intermittently sends out light pulses; a light-receiving element 14 that receives the light sent from the light-emitting element 13 and reflected by the mirror-like reflector 2; a delay unit 15 that outputs a gate open signal after a predetermined time after the pulse is output based on the pulse, and a light receiving element 14 that outputs a gate open signal during a period when the gate open signal is output.
a gate section 16 through which the output signal of the gate section 16 passes;
The signal processing section 18 includes an amplification section 17 that amplifies the signal passed through the amplification section 17, and a signal processing section 18 that outputs a smoke detection signal when the amount of light attenuation is equal to or greater than a predetermined value based on the output of the amplification section 17.

Here, the light beam sent out from the light emitting element 13 is transmitted to the light receiving element 1.
The time T [5ecl] until light is received at 4 is the time T [5ecl]
If the distance between the reflector 2 and the reflector 2 is L [m], then T=2XL/
For example, if the distance between the main body 1 and the reflector 2 is 15 nl, the required time T is 100 [n5ee].
It becomes l. In other words, since the light received by the light receiving element 14 100 [n5ec] after the light is emitted from the light emitting element 13 is considered to be the light reflected by the reflector 2, it is considered that the light received before that time is the light that was reflected by the reflector 2. The light rays are considered to be light reflected by smoke or the like in the optical path. However, the gate opening signal output from the delay section 15 is transmitted to the pulse generating section 11.
The above required time T from the rising edge of the output pulse
If you start up with a slightly shorter delay,
Malfunctions due to reflections in the optical path can be prevented.

The pulse width output from the pulse generator 11 is the above required +
1. By setting the interval T to about one-tenth of the I interval T, the second configuration allows the pulse generator 11 to open at a predetermined delay after the pulse is sent out, as shown in FIG. After T1, the IJlf emission signal is output as shown in Fig. 2(b) and the gate section 16 is opened, and if there is smoke etc. in the optical path, reflected light is emitted as shown in Fig. 2(c). Even if P1 is detected, the gate part 16 is not open during this period, so the reflected light P1 cannot pass through the gate part 16, and as shown in tpJ2 figure (d), the reflector 2 Only the reflected signal P2 passes through the gate section 16 and is input to the processing circuit A8 via the amplifier circuit 17. In the signal processing circuit 18, it is reflected by the reflector 2 and
When the amount of extinction of the light is detected and the amount of extinction is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, a smoke detection signal is output as the light has been attenuated by smoke. This smoke detection signal can drive an alarm device such as a buzzer or bell that outputs a double warning sound, or an alarm device that displays an alarm to burn out a lamp.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention includes a light emitting section that intermittently emits pulsed light beams, and a light emitting section that is arranged at a predetermined distance from the light emitting section and transmits one ray of light emitted from the light emitting section. A reflector that reflects to the side, a light receiver that receives the light beam sent from the light emitter and reflected by the reflector, and outputs a smoke detection signal when the amount of attenuation of the light beam received by the light receiver is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. (In a smoke detector equipped with a No. Fr processing section, after sending out a light beam from the light emitting section, a predetermined period of time approximately equal to the time required for the light beam to travel from the light emitting section to the light receiving section via the mirror body. Since a gate section is provided that prohibits input to the signal processing section, light reception corresponding to light rays reflected by smoke, etc. in the optical path without reaching the reflector (if signal is manually input to the id processing section) is provided. This method has the advantage that smoke can be detected accurately without malfunction by measuring only the amount of light that is considered to have been reflected by the reflector.
