Definitions

  • the invention relates to a smoke detector with a pulsed radiation source which emits a bundled beam into an area freely accessible to the ambient air, a radiation receiver arranged in the beam, the downstream input amplifier of which generates receive pulses which are proportional to the received radiation intensity, and an evaluation circuit which has a reference voltage associated with it the receiving pulses is compared, has a supplying element, an alarm stage which triggers an alarm signal for longer than a certain period of time when the received pulses weaken below a predetermined alarm threshold, and a fault mare which, in the event of a weakening of the received pulses triggering an alarm signal, more rapid weakening of the received pulses below a fault threshold less than the alarm threshold triggers a fault signal.
  • Such a smoke detector is known, for example, from DE-OS 2,822,547.
  • the radiation source and radiation receiver are accommodated in two different housings, which are attached to the walls of the room to be monitored at different distances depending on the place of use.
  • a fixed alarm threshold is specified. However, this corresponds to very different smoke densities when the distance between the radiation source and receiver is different.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a smoke detector whose sensitivity does not depend, or only insignificantly, on the distance between the radiation source and the receiver. Furthermore, changes in the operating state due to contamination, aging and temperature fluctuations are to be rendered ineffective.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 show circuit examples of preferred embodiments.
  • the radiation source 3 in this case a light or infrared radiation emitting diode (LED), is activated by the pulse generator 1 via a driver stage 2.
  • the current is preferably regulated with the aid of the reference radiation receiver 4 in such a way that the radiation intensity of the pulses assumes a fixed value.
  • T22, R21 and R23 switch the current through LED 3, which is supplied by the capacitor C21.
  • C21 is recharged between the pulses via R24.
  • T21 and R22 regulate the radiation intensity in connection with the reference radiation receiver 4.
  • the radiation pulses falling on the radiation receiver 5 are amplified by the input amplifier 6 and fed to three comparison circuits 7, 8, 9.
  • a two-stage transistor amplifier T61, T62 whose operating point is determined by the resistors R61, R62, and R64, is sufficient as the input amplifier.
  • the differential resistance of the diode D61 together with the feedback resistor R 63 and the resistor R62 determine the gain.
  • the quiescent current through the diode D61 and thus its differential resistance is determined by the voltage U v and the resistor R65. In this way, the gain of the input amplifier 6 can be controlled.
  • the entire amplifier is separated by coupling capacitors C61 and C63.
  • the output of the input amplifier 6 is connected to the positive input of the comparison circuit 9.
  • the voltage U s (interference threshold), which is obtained from the reference voltage U ref with the voltage divider R1, R2, 14, is present at the negative input.
  • a correlation pulse appears at the output of the comparison circuit 9, which is passed on to the clock inputs C of the counters 10 and 15.
  • the capacitance C161 is also discharged with the correlation pulse in the fault circuit 16 with the aid of R161 and T161. If there are no correlation pulses, ie if the output pulses of the input amplifier no longer reach the interference threshold U s , the capacitance C161 is charged via the resistor R162 and an error signal 19 is emitted by the logic circuit 17.
  • the comparison circuit 7 compares the signal at the output of the input amplifier 6 (receive pulses) with the reference voltage U ref . Its output controls the counting direction U / D of the up-down counter 11.
  • the digital value Q 0 ... Q l of the counter is converted in the digital-to-analog converter 12 into an analog voltage, from which a non-linear amplifier 13 the control voltage U v for the amplification of the input amplifier 6 is generated.
  • the counter reading is increased or decreased by one in accordance with the value of the output of the comparison circuit 7.
  • the gain of the input amplifier 6 is changed so that the difference between the level of the Receive pulses and the reference voltage becomes practically zero.
  • the binary counter 10 divides the frequency of the correlation pulses by a certain factor and uses them to generate the clock pulses of the up-down counter 11.
  • the tracking becomes slow enough to not or only insignificantly compensate for changes in the reception pulses due to the increase in smoke density, but nevertheless due to changes slow dusting, aging and temperature fluctuations. If the up-down counter 11 reaches its lower or upper limit (zero or 2 l + 1 - 1), further tracking is no longer possible.
  • a fault signal can be derived from the negated carry-out output C out , which assumes the value zero at the counter limits. This value is processed by the logic circuit 17 and a fault signal 19 is generated.
  • Another comparison circuit 8 compares the received pulses E (output of the input amplifier) with the alarm threshold U A. The output of this comparison circuit controls the reset input of the alarm delay counter 15. If the received pulses fall below the alarm threshold U A , the alarm delay counter 15 is no longer reset and the correlation pulses increase the counter reading. After a certain number of pulses, an alarm signal 18 is emitted, on the other hand, due to the logic circuit 17, only if a fault signal 19 is not also present at the same time.
  • the state of the up-down counter 11 corresponds to a determined gain of the input amplifier 6, and thus a certain intensity of radiation at the radiation receiver 5.
  • This radiation intensity is again a good M ass for the distance between the radiation source 3 and receiver 5, as they are inversely proportional to the Square of this distance.
  • the counter reading Q o ... Q Q is therefore characteristic of a specific distance between the radiation source and receiver.
  • the digitally controllable resistor 14 is from the counter stand controlled and thus the ratio of alarm threshold to reference voltage is adjusted to the different distances. The functional dependence of this ratio on the distance is now preferably chosen such that the alarm threshold always corresponds to the same smoke density. This is possible by a suitable definition of the transfer function of the non-linear amplifier 13.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further circuit of a smoke detector according to the invention.
  • the pulse generator 1 controls the radiation source 3 via the driver stage 2.
  • T22 and R21 switch the current through the radiation source 3, which is supplied by the capacitance C21, which in turn is charged between the pulses via the resistor R24.
  • the current through the radiation source is regulated to a specific value with the aid of the zener diode D21 and the resistor R23.
  • the radiation pulses falling on the radiation receiver 5 are amplified by the input amplifier 6 and fed to the three comparison circuits 7, 8, 9.
  • This amplifier 6 consists of an operational amplifier A61 and the variable feedback resistor R63, with which the gain can be set to a suitable value when the smoke detector is started up.
  • the coupling capacitance C61 separates DC components.
  • the processing of the outputs of the comparison circuits 7, 8, 9 takes place in the same way as in FIG. 1. Reference is made to their description.
  • the output of the digital-to-analog converter 12, on the other hand, is not used to control the input amplifier, but rather represents the reference voltage U ref directly.
  • the (slow) change in the counter reading of the up-down counter 11, the reference voltage U ref is adjusted so that the difference between the level of the received pulses and the reference voltage becomes practically zero.
  • the ratio of the alarm threshold to the reference voltage can be set by the variable resistor 14.
  • a switch 141 is provided, which changes the resistance value of the resistor 14 by connecting the resistors R141 or R142 in parallel to R143.
  • a continuously variable resistor eg potentiometer
  • the smoke detectors described have a significantly improved stability even over longer periods of time. Slow changes due to dust, aging of the components and temperature fluctuations are automatically compensated for by a tracking mechanism, without the risk of an incorrect alarm triggering and without loss of sensitivity. They are also characterized by a better defined sensitivity, in that the ratio of the alarm threshold to the reference voltage is adapted to the distance between the radiation source and receiver.
