In the present invention, described function f (a, b ...) what calculate is a warning parameter, wherein the electrical quantity that will detect and calculate also can be for two or more, for example above-mentioned various parameters.Described predetermined value d be warning parameter f (a, b ...) alarming threshold value.Function f (a, b ...) and electrical quantity a, b ... become corresponding funtcional relationship, its funtcional relationship can provide with forms such as tabulation, formula or curves.The numerical value f that its a1, b1 try to achieve (a1, b1 ...) mode that compares warning with predetermined value d optionally is set at one of following five kinds: the numerical value of function f is reported to the police during greater than predetermined value d; The numerical value of function f is reported to the police during less than predetermined value d; The numerical value of function f is reported to the police during more than or equal to predetermined value d; When being less than or equal to predetermined value d, the numerical value of function f reports to the police; When equaling predetermined value d, the numerical value of function f reports to the police.
Among the present invention, described two time period Δ t (Δ t=t2-t1) that detect between moment t2, the t1 preestablish as required, can equal line type fire detector and move the alarm time section in when test, the section At All Other Times that also can equal to set as required, general Δ t chooses in the 5min. scope at 0.2min..
Among the present invention, described predetermined value d can be a constant, it also can be a relative constant, promptly can change the quaternary function of the length that promptly described predetermined value d is environment temperature, ambient humidity, heated portion, the variation of temperature of heated portion with the length of the residing environment temperature of linear temperature sensor, ambient humidity, heated portion, the variation of temperature of heated portion.When some parameters in the variation of temperature of the length of environment temperature, ambient humidity, heated portion, heated portion remained unchanged, described threshold values was the function of remaining parameter.Numerical value when the numerical value of the length of environment temperature, ambient humidity, heated portion, the temperature of heated portion can be moment t1, numerical value in the time of also can being moment t2, can also be the t1 and the numerical value in a moment between the t2 constantly constantly, also can be the t1 numerical value constantly and the weighted mean value of t2 numerical value constantly.
Because the detection among the present invention belongs to the category of static measurement, the described moment does not also require it is an absolute moment, can allow bigger time lag, and influencing warning not produce excessive error is prerequisite.
Among the present invention, electrical quantity a, the b of described temperature sensing element can be voltage, electric current, resistance, electric capacity, inductance, time constant, natural frequency signals such as (resonant frequencies), it also can be above-mentioned signal rate over time, local or when all being heated when temperature sensing element, the size of electrical quantity changes, can according to the size of electrical quantity or electrical quantity over time the size of rate carry out constant temperature or differential temperature is reported to the police.
In the present invention, why requiring electrical quantity a, b inequivalence, is because have only in this case, just can merge two electrical quantity a, b and produce a warning parameter, and principle is as follows:
Electrical quantity a, b depend on length L and temperature T (or temperature rise rate T ') and other factor, i.e. a=f1 (L, the T of the heated portion of linear temperature sensor respectively,) (or a=f1 (L, T ' ...), b=f2 (L, T ...) (or b=f2 (L, T ',), above-mentioned two equations can be with the method for theoretical analysis and calculation, or the method that the testing experiment data are carried out regretional analysis, or the method that Theoretical Calculation combines with experimental data is determined; When two electrical quantity a, b inequivalence, it is the equation with two unknowns group of unknown number that two above-mentioned equations have constituted with L, T (or T '), with cutting first method or Substitution method or other method is found the solution above-mentioned system of equations, just can draw the function expression that only contains a unknown number L (or T or T ').Behind the concrete numerical value of having determined a, b, can determine out the concrete numerical value of L, T (or T '), the size of L, T (or T ') has been represented the scale of fire and the degree of fire respectively, linear temperature sensor mainly carries out constant temperature according to the size of T reports to the police, and carries out differential temperature according to the size of T ' and reports to the police.Factor L when two kinds of electrical quantitys that influence linear temperature sensor, when T can not be obtained by above-mentioned equation fully, need to increase an equation, can realize by increasing a linear temperature sensor (i.e. the corresponding electrical quantity of output), for example when the environment temperature of linear temperature sensor or ambient humidity are inhomogeneous, can not reflect the temperature or the humidity of the erecting stage of linear temperature sensor by point type thermometer or hygrometer comprehensively, just belong to this situation.
Whether main main points of the present invention are to select the electrical quantity that detects two or more mutual inequivalences for use, these a plurality of electrical quantitys are merged calculate and comparison, thereby judge exactly and will report to the police.At this, claims have given description to protection scope of the present invention, still, everything has comprised invention main points of the present invention, do not deviate from aim of the present invention, and any variation scheme all falls within protection scope of the present invention.
