Definitions

  • the invention relates to an optical arrangement for an infrared intrusion detector.
  • Such arrangements pick up the infrared radiation emanating from a person in the monitored area and direct it to a sensor element. If the monitored area is divided into several separate reception areas with dark fields in between, each movement of a person causes a modulation of the infrared radiation received by the sensor element, which can be evaluated by means of a known upgrading circuit to indicate an intruder and to give an alarm signal.
  • US-A-4 052 616 shows an arrangement with a hemispherical reflector or a Fresnel lens for all reception areas and light guides which give the infrared radiation to a sensor.
  • the number of light guides is limited by the size of the sensor surface, so that the amount of radiation incident on the sensor is insufficient. Furthermore, the attachment of the ends of the light guides on the focal surface and on the sensor surface is difficult.
  • US-A-3 702 937 describes a motion detector which, instead of reflectors, uses a lens arrangement which divides the image of the monitored area into two parts and places them on two photocells which are integrated in a bridge circuit. If the monitored area is illuminated differently, the electrical bridge circuit is imbalanced and an alarm is generated. The amount of radiation reaching a photocell is low.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the essential disadvantage of the prior art, which, despite the different lens and reflector arrangement, is the low absorption of the radiation amount, in order to increase the sensitivity of the intrusion detector.
  • the intrusion detector should have small spatial dimensions so that it can be attached inconspicuously at its place of use.
  • Another purpose of the invention is the simple construction of the optical arrangement.
  • a collecting lens 1 is provided as the first focusing means, which is designed as a Fresnel lens.
  • Such stepped lenses can be easily produced from a suitable transparent material by pressing or casting. It is particularly expedient to choose a material, for example a suitable plastic material which is preferably transparent in the region of long-wave infrared radiation, for example polyethylene, or As 2 S 3 , Se, or As / Se glasses, these glasses also can be evaporated as a filter on the polyethylene lens.
  • a material for example a suitable plastic material which is preferably transparent in the region of long-wave infrared radiation, for example polyethylene, or As 2 S 3 , Se, or As / Se glasses, these glasses also can be evaporated as a filter on the polyethylene lens.
  • a plurality of individual reflectors 2, 3,... 6 are arranged behind this Fresnel lens in the direction of irradiation. These reflectors can be concave or convex spherical, paraboloid or ellipsoid segments or be designed as a plane mirror inclined to one another.
  • a detector element 7 is provided in the center of the Fresnel lens 1, the sensitivity of which is matched to the infrared radiation to be received, for example lithium tantalate (LiTaO a ).
  • the focal length of the Fresnel lens 1, the curvature, the alignment and the spacing of the reflectors 2, 3,... 6 can be chosen so that the infrared radiation arriving from certain desired directions is imaged as well as possible.
  • the individual reception areas become reception directions with a relatively small opening angle, which depends on the accuracy of the optical components and their adjustment, as well as on the dimensions of the sensor element. If a different shape of reception areas is desired, for example a rectangular or strip shape, the reflectors can be aspherical.
  • incident infrared radiation from the first focusing means i.e. is recorded by the Fresnel lens 1 with its full area and is only then fed to the individual mirror segments assigned to the different reception areas.
  • Each mirror segment 2, 3,... 6 receives radiation from the full surface of the Fresnel lens 1 and then bundles this radiation onto the sensor element 7.
  • the sensitivity of an infrared intrusion detector equipped with such an arrangement is therefore considerably increased.
  • the dimensions of the reflectors do not play a decisive role, so that small device dimensions are possible even with a large number of reception areas.
  • Figure 2 shows a similar arrangement, which differs from the first embodiment in that the sensor element 7 peripherally, i. H. is arranged on the edge of the Fresnel lens 1.
  • the entire opening of the Fresnel lens is thus available for receiving infrared radiation and there are no losses through the sensor element.
  • FIG. 3 shows an infrared intrusion detector with a housing 10 which has a front plate 11 and a rear side 12.
  • the front plate 11 carries a Fresnel lens 1 and below this a sensor element 7 on the edge, which is connected to an integrated evaluation circuit 8, which can be designed, for example, in accordance with US Pat. No. 4,179,691 or US Pat. No. 4,166,955.
  • the output signal of this evaluation circuit 8 is taken from the output terminals 9.
  • the rear side 12 carries a facet mirror 13, the individual facets of which correspond to the reflector 2, 3,... 6.
  • the formation and alignment of the individual facets is such that, in cooperation with the Fresnel lens 1, a bundle of many reception directions or areas with a small opening angle is created.
  • a plurality of sensor elements (7, 7 ', 7 ") arranged next to one another can be provided.
  • Each element receives radiation from a plurality of reception areas.
  • the number of possible reception areas can thus be multiplied according to the number of sensor elements , with no significant loss in intensity or sensitivity, since each sensor element receives a large part of the radiation from the common bundling means.
  • the individual reception areas are each split into a bundle of several reception areas lying on one level, making it easy to create a number of radiation curtains to be passed by an intruder.
  • FIG. 4 shows a particularly flat embodiment of an infrared intrusion detector, in which the entire front side 11 is occupied by a segment of a Fresnel lens 1, in the center of which the sensor element 7 is attached. Individual reflectors 2, 3,... 6 are provided in a row on the rear side 12.
  • the evaluation circuit 8 is attached to the base plate 14. With this arrangement, a fan of reception areas lying on one level or a protective curtain can be formed. Thanks to its flat design, the detector can be arranged inconspicuously in a narrow gap, the front surface 11 being optimally used for receiving infrared radiation from the reception areas.
  • one or more prisms can be provided in front of or behind parts of the converging lens 1, through which the individual reception beams can each be split into a plurality of beams.
  • the number of radiation receiving areas can be multiplied if a certain intensity weakening of the individual areas can be accepted.
  • prisms 15, 15 ' can be arranged in front of both sides of the Fresnel lens, for example. These have the effect that the radiation impinging on the prisms is deflected by a certain angle, while the radiation impinging directly on the lens remains unaffected. Each reception area is therefore split into three separate areas.
  • the prism element can also be combined with and integrated into the converging lens in that it is designed as a multi-zone lens with zones of different optical axes.
  • the sides of the Fresnel lens 1 has on its front or back the shape of wedges 16, 16 'which replace the prisms 15, 15' and show the same optical effect.
  • Such an optical element is particularly easy to manufacture and requires no special adjustment.
  • the infrared intrusion detector shown has an optimal sensitivity and, moreover, has a particularly simple and interference-free construction. It is particularly suitable for applications where an infrared protective curtain with closely spaced reception areas is desired.
