Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine nach dem Extinktionsprinzip arbeitende Rauchmelder-Anordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a smoke detector arrangement operating according to the extinction principle according to the preamble of claim 1.

Für die Früherkennung von Rauch werden in Brandmeldeanlagen häufig Rauchmelder verwendet. Neben den Ionisationsmeldern werden in zunehmendem Maße optische Rauchmelder eingesetzt. Dabei werden Streulichtmelder und Extinktionsmelder benutzt. Beim Streulichtmelder wird der von der Lichtquelle ausgehende Strahl auf eine Lichtfalle gelenkt. Die optiche Achse des Empfängers ist unter einem bestimmten Streuwinkel zur Achse der Lichtquelle geneigt. Im Normalfall fällt kein Licht auf den Empfänger. Wenn Rauch in den Primärstrahl eintritt, reflektieren und beugen die Rauchpartikel das Licht, so daß es auf den Fotoempfänger fällt, der ein zur einfallenden Intensität proportionales elektrisches Signal abgibt. Streulichmelder haben jedoch den Nachteil, schwarzen, stark rußhaltigen Rauch von einem unvollständigen Verbrennungsprozeß nicht erkennen zu können.Smoke detectors are often used in fire alarm systems for the early detection of smoke. In addition to ionization detectors, optical smoke detectors are increasingly being used. Scattered light detectors and extinction detectors are used. In the case of a scattered light detector, the beam emitted by the light source is directed onto a light trap. The optical axis of the receiver is inclined to the axis of the light source at a certain scattering angle. Normally no light falls on the receiver. When smoke enters the primary beam, the smoke particles reflect and diffract the light so that it falls on the photoreceptor, which emits an electrical signal proportional to the incident intensity. However, scatter detectors have the disadvantage of not being able to detect black, heavily soot-containing smoke from an incomplete combustion process.

Extinktionsmelder, auch als Durchlichtmelder bezeichnet, werten die Intensität eines durch Rauch geschwächten Lichtstrahls aus. Nach diesem Verfahren werden z.B. mit hochwertigen Einrichtungen Rauchdichten meßtechnisch erfaßt. Melder für den praktischen Einsatz benötigen große Meßweglängen zwischen dem Sender und dem Empfänger. Es werden beispielsweise Meßstrecken bis zu 100 Metern überwacht. Dies erfordert je ein getrenntes Sende- und Empfangsteil sowie eine äußerst enge Bündelung der Sendelichtstrahlen, beispielsweise auf 1 Grad oder weniger, somit hochwertige Optiken und aufwendige, präzise Justiereinrichtungen zur genauen Ausrichtung des Lichtstrahls auf den Empfänger und umgekehrt zur genauen Ausrichtung des Empfängers auf den Sender. Außerdem haben Schwankungen der Intensität der Primärlichtquelle, Verschmutzung der Optik und Alterung der Bauelemente großen Einfluß, der durch aufwendige elektronische Schaltungen gemindert werden muß. Daher erreichten solche Melder bisher geringe Marktbedeutung. Sie eignen sich hauptsächlich zur Überwachung großer Räume, langer und schmaler Gänge und ähnlichem, wobei man den Aufwand der sorgfältigen Montage und Justierung vor Ort in Kauf nimmt.Extinction detectors, also known as transmitted light detectors, evaluate the intensity of a light beam weakened by smoke. According to this method, smoke densities are measured using high-quality equipment. Detectors for practical use require large measuring path lengths between the transmitter and the receiver. For example, measuring distances of up to 100 meters are monitored. This requires a separate send and Receiving part and an extremely tight bundling of the transmitted light beams, for example at 1 degree or less, thus high-quality optics and complex, precise adjustment devices for the precise alignment of the light beam on the receiver and vice versa for the precise alignment of the receiver to the transmitter. In addition, fluctuations in the intensity of the primary light source, contamination of the optics and aging of the components have a great influence, which must be reduced by complex electronic circuits. For this reason, such detectors have so far had little market importance. They are mainly suitable for monitoring large rooms, long and narrow corridors and the like, whereby the effort of careful assembly and adjustment on site is accepted.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung,Rauchmelder nach dem Extinktionprinzip so auszugestalten und anzuordnen, daß sie keinen aufwendigen konstruktiven Aufbau, keine umständliche, zeitaufwendige Montage und Justierung am Einsatzort erfordern und als preisgünstige Melder mit Sender und Empfänger wie Punktmelder als Komponenten eines üblichen Meldersystems eingesetzt werden können.It is therefore an object of the invention to design and arrange smoke detectors according to the extinction principle in such a way that they do not require a complex construction, no complicated, time-consuming installation and adjustment on site and are used as inexpensive detectors with transmitters and receivers such as point detectors as components of a conventional detector system can.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße, nach dem Extinktionsprinzip arbeitende Rauchmelder-Anordnung weist ein oder mehrere Lichtsender und Lichtempfänger in einer gemeinsamen Ebene auf, wobei die Sender und Empfänger keine präzise Richtcharakteristik besitzen. Die Strahlungswinkel der Sende- und Empfangsteile betragen ein Vielfaches von einem Grad, beispielsweise 10 Grad. Die Sender und Empfänger der Extinktionsmelder, die daher einen einfachen Aufbau aufweien und preisgünstig zu fertigen sind, können im Gegensatz zu hergebrachten Extinktionsmeldern ohne Justieraufwand am Einsatzort montiert werden, so daß auch keine hohen Montagekosten anfallen. Die Sender und Empfänger sind in einfacher Weise in einem vorgebbaren Abstand, der wesentlich kürzer als 100 Meter ist, einander zugeordnet. Dabei verlaufen die optischen Achsen der jeweiligen Strahlungskeulen nahezu parallel zur gemeinsamen Ebene.The smoke detector arrangement according to the invention, which works according to the extinction principle, has one or more light transmitters and light receivers in a common plane, the transmitters and receivers not having a precise directional characteristic. The radiation angle of the transmitting and receiving parts is a multiple of one degree, for example 10 degrees. The transmitters and receivers of the extinction detectors, which therefore have a simple structure and are inexpensive to manufacture, In contrast to traditional extinction detectors, they can be installed on site without any adjustment effort, so that there are no high installation costs. The transmitters and receivers are assigned to one another in a simple manner at a predeterminable distance which is considerably shorter than 100 meters. The optical axes of the respective radiation lobes run almost parallel to the common plane.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, mehrere Sender und Empfänger in einer gemeinsamen Ebene, beispielsweise an der Raumdecke, anzuordnen, wobei ein Sender in unterschiedliche Richtungen sendet, so daß er eine käseschachtelförmige Richtcharakteristik aufweist. Ebenso weisen die den Sendern zugeordneten Empfänger unterschiedliche Empfangsrichtungen auf, so daß ein Empfänger Lichtstrahlen von mehreren Sendern empfängt.It is particularly advantageous to arrange several transmitters and receivers in a common plane, for example on the ceiling, with one transmitter transmitting in different directions, so that it has a cheese-box-shaped directional characteristic. Likewise, the receivers assigned to the transmitters have different reception directions, so that one receiver receives light beams from several transmitters.

Um große Räume flächendeckend zu überwachen, können zweckmäßigerweise die Sender mit mehreren unterschiedlichen Strahlungsrichtungen matrixartig und eine Vielzahl von Empfängern um die Sender kreissegmentförmig, beispielsweise bienenwabenartig, in der gemeinsamen Ebene angeordnet werden. Zumindest einige der Empfänger weisen dann jeweils auch mehrere Empfangsrichtungen auf.In order to monitor large rooms area-wide, the transmitters with a plurality of different radiation directions can expediently be arranged in a matrix-like manner and a plurality of receivers around the transmitters in the form of a segment of a circle, for example honeycomb-like, in the common plane. At least some of the receivers then also each have a plurality of reception directions.

Es hat sich als zweckmäßig erwiesen, den Strahlungswinkel in der gemeinsamen Ebene, im Normalfall also den Horizontalwinkel, zu 20 Grad oder größer zu machen. In der Vertikalrichtung, d.h. senkrecht zur gemeinsamen Ebene ist demgegenüber der Strahlungswinkel kleiner. Er kann beispielsweise 10 Grad oder mehr betragen, da ein Ausleuchten nach unten, wenn die Extinktionsmelder an der Raumdecke montiert sind, nicht notwendig ist. Diese grobe Richtcharakteristik erfordert im Sender und Empfänger nur eine sehr einfache Optik, z.B. jeweils vor einem Lichtsender und einem Lichtempfänger eine Zylinderlinse. Justiereinrichtungen zur Ausrichtung des Richtstrahls bzw. der optischen Achse von Sender bzw. Empfängern sind nicht erforderlich. Die Sender und Empfänger können ohne Hilfsmittel zur optischen Ausrichtung montiert werden.It has proven to be expedient to make the radiation angle in the common plane, ie normally the horizontal angle, 20 degrees or greater. In contrast, in the vertical direction, ie perpendicular to the common plane, the radiation angle is smaller. It can be 10 degrees or more, for example, since it is not necessary to illuminate downwards when the extinction detectors are mounted on the ceiling. This rough directional characteristic requires in the transmitter and receiver only very simple optics, for example a cylindrical lens in front of a light transmitter and a light receiver. Adjustment devices for aligning the directional beam or the optical axis of transmitters or receivers are not required. The transmitters and receivers can be mounted without optical alignment aids.

Die Sender und Empfänger können vollkommen geschlossen sein, weil keine Meßkammer bzw. keine Rauchkammer notwendig ist, in die Rauch eindringen muß. Damit ergeben sich weitere Vorteile. Ein Verschmutzen der Meß- bzw. Rauchkammer ist somit nicht mehr möglich. Damit entfällt auch ein großer Wartungsaufwand für das Reinigen der Melder bzw. das Austauschen der Melder. Da die Sender und Empfänger der Extinktionsmelder ein dichtes Gehäuse aufweisen können, ist das Eindringen von aggresiven Gasen, von Staub oder von Feuchte nicht mehr möglich. Die Optik der Lichtsender und -empfänger können in einfacher Weise gereinigt werden, so daß auch kein Austauschen der Melder bei der Wartung notwendig ist. Ferner ist mit der erfindungsgemäßen Extinktionsmelderanordnung eine schnellere Alarmgabe möglich, weil keine Verzögerung dadurch eintritt, daß Rauch erst in die Meß- bzw. Rauchkammer eindringen muß, wobei durch Gitter bzw. Labyrinths wie beim Ionisationsmelder bzw. Streulichtmelder das Eindringen erschwert wird. Die erfindungsgemäße Rauchmelderanordnung stellt also ein echtes Frühwarnmeldersystem dar. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, daß keine gefährlichen radioaktiven Präparate wie beim Ionisationsmelder erforderlich sind. Damit entfallen diesbezügliche strenge Sicherheitsvorschriften, Wartungs- und Entsorgungsprobleme. Ein anderer Vorteil ist dadurch gegeben, daß der Extinktionsmelder gegenüber dem Streulichtmelder auf fast alle Raucharten reagiert.The transmitter and receiver can be completely closed because no measuring chamber or smoke chamber is necessary, into which smoke must penetrate. This results in further advantages. Contamination of the measuring or smoke chamber is therefore no longer possible. This also eliminates the need for major maintenance for cleaning the detectors or replacing the detectors. Since the transmitters and receivers of the extinction detectors can have a sealed housing, the penetration of aggressive gases, dust or moisture is no longer possible. The optics of the light transmitters and receivers can be cleaned in a simple manner, so that no replacement of the detectors is necessary during maintenance. Furthermore, with the extinction detector arrangement according to the invention, a faster alarm is possible because there is no delay because smoke first has to penetrate into the measuring or smoke chamber, the penetration being made more difficult by grids or labyrinths as in the case of the ionization detector or scattered light detector. The smoke detector arrangement according to the invention thus represents a real early warning system. Another advantage is that no dangerous radioactive preparations as with the ionization detector are required. This eliminates strict safety regulations, maintenance and disposal problems. Another advantage is that the extinction detector reacts to almost all types of smoke compared to the scattered light detector.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ergibt sich, wenn die Extinktionsmelder-Anordnung im einem bekannten Pulsmeldersystem verwendet wird. In den DE-PS 23 41 087, 25 33 300 und 25 33 382 ist dieses System beschrieben, in dem die einzelnen Melder von einer Zentrale aus in vorgebbarer Reihenfolge zeitlich nacheinander auf ihren analogen Meldermeßwert abgefragt und daraus in der Zentrale durch logische Verknüpfungen mehrere Meßwerte ein und desselben und auch benachbarter Melder Störung- und Alarmkriterien abgeleitet werden. Dabei sind die Melder einzeln identifizierbar. Die Lichtempfänger des Extinktionsmelders sind als Analogwert-Sensoren ausgebildet und übertragen bei der Abfrage ihren jeweiligen Analogwert zur Zentrale. Dabei können die einzelnen Lichtsender von der Zentrale zyklisch angesteuert und zum Senden aufgefordert werden. Die einzelnen Lichtsender können aber auch kontinuierlich senden.Another advantage is obtained when the extinction detector arrangement is used in a known pulse detector system. This system is described in DE-PS 23 41 087, 25 33 300 and 25 33 382 in which the individual detectors are sequentially queried from a central station for their analog detector measured value one after the other in a predeterminable order, and from this in the central station a plurality of measured values is obtained by logical combinations fault and alarm criteria can be derived from one and the same detector. The detectors can be identified individually. The light receivers of the extinction detector are designed as analog value sensors and transmit their respective analog values to the control center when queried. The individual light transmitters can be cyclically controlled by the control center and requested to send. However, the individual light transmitters can also transmit continuously.

Bei einer kombinierten Anordnung von vielen Lichtsendern und -empfängern, z.B. in einer großen Lagerhalle, werden im Pulsmeldersystem zweckmäßigerweise jeweils zusammenwirkende Sender und Empfänger, also einander zugeordnete Sender und Empfänger, zeitlich nacheinander zyklisch angesteuert bzw. abgefragt. Die zentrale Auswerteeinrichtung kann aufgrund logischer Verknüpfungen der Empfängersignale den Brandherd lokalisieren. Die Verwendung einer erfindungsgemäßen Extinktionsmelder-Anordnung beim Pulsmeldersystem hat auch den Vorteil, daß die Grundempfindlichkeit der Extinktionsmelder von der Zentrale aus über Steuerkanäle im Sender und im Empfänger eingestellt werden kann. Einer alterungsbedingten Veränderung der Bauelemente der einzelnen Melder kann somit durch Nachführung der Grundempfindlichkeit der Extinktionsmelder-Anordnung begegnet werden.With a combined arrangement of many light transmitters and receivers, e.g. In a large warehouse, each transmitter and receiver, that is to say transmitters and receivers assigned to one another, are expediently cyclically activated or queried one after the other in the pulse detector system. The central evaluation device can locate the source of the fire on the basis of logical links between the receiver signals. The use of an extinction detector arrangement according to the invention in the pulse detector system also has the advantage that the basic sensitivity of the extinction detector can be set from the control center via control channels in the transmitter and in the receiver. An aging-related change in the components of the individual detectors can thus be countered by tracking the basic sensitivity of the extinction detector arrangement.

The radiation angle ϕH has in the horizontal direction, i.e. perpendicular to the common plane, for example a size of 20 degrees. The optical axis of the transmitter S and the receiver E is designated 0A. The receiver E has a receiving lobe EK which has a radiation angle ϕH in the horizontal direction that is as large as that of the transmitter S. According to the invention, the radiation angle in the vertical direction (ϕV) can be smaller than the radiation angle (ϕH) in the horizontal direction. This is shown in Figure 2.

Der Sender S und der Empfänger E sind wieder in einem Abstand A in einer gemeinsamen Ebene GE dargestellt. Die Seitenansicht zeigt, daß die Strahlungswinkel ϕV in Vertikalrichtungder jeweiligen Sende- bzw. Empfangskeule SK bzw. EK kleiner sind als die Strahlungswinkel ϕH in Horizontaltrichtung. Beispielsweise kann der Strahlungswinkel ϕV in Vertikalrichtung, d.h. senkrecht zur gemeinsamen Ebene GE,10 Grad betragen. Strahlungswinkel derartiger Größen in Horizontal- und Vertikalrichtung sind ausreichend,um ohne Justieraufwand auch bei einer Entfernung zwischen Sender und Empfänger von 20 Metern eine ausreichende Strahlung zu erzielen. Ein unnötiges Auchleuchten nach unten in den Raum wird durch einen kleineren Vertikalwinkel vermieden. Mit einfachen Zylinderlinsen läßt sich ohne weiteres eine solche Richtcharakteristik erzielen. Ist jedoch eine solche Richtcharakteristik nicht notwendig, so kann in einfacher Weise der kegelförmige Strahl unter einem bestimmten Winkel sowohl in Vertikal- als auch in Horizontalrichtung ausgesandt werden und dazu eine einfache Sammellinse verwendet werden.The transmitter S and the receiver E are again shown at a distance A in a common plane GE. The side view shows that the radiation angles ϕV in the vertical direction of the respective transmitting or receiving lobe SK or EK are smaller than the radiation angles ϕH in the horizontal direction. For example, the radiation angle ϕV in the vertical direction, ie perpendicular to the common plane GE, can be 10 degrees. Beam angles of such sizes in the horizontal and vertical directions are off sufficient to achieve sufficient radiation without adjustment effort even with a distance between transmitter and receiver of 20 meters. A smaller vertical angle prevents unnecessary lighting downwards into the room. Such a directional characteristic can be easily achieved with simple cylindrical lenses. However, if such a directional characteristic is not necessary, the conical beam can be emitted in a simple manner at a certain angle both in the vertical and in the horizontal direction, and a simple converging lens can be used for this purpose.

In Fig. 3 sind ein Sender S und zwei Empfänger E1 und E2 und E2 dargestellt. Der Sender S hat zwei gegenüberliegende Abstrahlrichtungen (Sendekeulen SKI und SK2), in denen jeweils Empfänger mit einer Empfangskeule EK1 bzw. EK2 angeordnet sind. Der horizontale Strahlungswinkel ist mit ϕH bezeichnet.3 shows a transmitter S and two receivers E1 and E2 and E2. The transmitter S has two opposite radiation directions (transmission lobes SKI and SK2), in each of which receivers with a reception lobe EK1 or EK2 are arranged. The horizontal radiation angle is designated by ϕH.

In Fig. 4 ist eine andere Anordnung eines Senders mit zwei Empfängern dargestellt. Der Sender und die Empfänger sind in der gemeinsamen Ebene und in Draufsicht gezeigt. ' Der Sender S strahlt in zwei verschiedenen Richtungen,die in einem bestimmten Winkel, der hier nicht eigens dargestellt ist, zueinander stehen. In der Sendekeule SKI ist der Empfänger E1 angeordnet, in der Sendekeule SK2 ist der Empfänger E2 angeordnet.4 shows another arrangement of a transmitter with two receivers. The transmitter and the receiver are shown in the common plane and in plan view. 'The transmitter S radiates in two different directions, which are at a certain angle, which is not shown here, to each other. The receiver E1 is arranged in the transmitting lobe SKI, the receiver E2 is arranged in the transmitting lobe SK2.

Fig. 5 zeigt in Draufsicht einen Sender mit vier symmetrisch angeordneten Sendekeulen SKI bis SK4 in denen sind jeweils ein Empfänger El bis E4 befindet. Die Empfänger EI bis E4 sind kreissegmentförmig, d.h. im Vieleck,in diesem Fall im Viereck,um den Sender S angeordnet.5 shows a top view of a transmitter with four symmetrically arranged transmission lobes SKI to SK4, in each of which a receiver E1 to E4 is located. The receivers EI to E4 are circular segment-shaped, i.e. arranged around the transmitter S in a polygon, in this case in a square.

Fig. 6 zeigt eine Kombination von mehreren Sendern S1, S2, ..Sn, die matrixartig angeordnet sind und eine Vielzahl von Empfängern E1 bis E6 bzw. En, die kreissegmentförmig um die Sender angeordnet sind. Dies ist in Draufsicht gezeigt. Die jeweiligen Sende- und Empfangskeulen sind hier nicht mehr dargestellt, vielmehr sind zwischen den Sendern und den Empfängern Meßstrecken MS eingezeichnet. Zwischen dem Empfänger E1 und dem Sender S1 existiert die Meßstrecke M Sll. Der Sender S1 weist noch drei weitere symmetrisch angeordnete Strahlungsrichtungen auf, in denen die Empfänger E2 bis E4 angeordnet sind, so daß beispielsweise zwischen dem Sender S1 und dem Empfänger E4 die Meßstrecke MS14 besteht. Da aber ein weiterer Sender S2 angeordnet ist und ebenfalls vier symmetrische Strahlungsrichtungen besitzt, liegt in dem einen Lichtstrahl des Senders S2 auch der Empfänger E4 mit einer weiteren Empfangsrichtung, die hier durch die Meßstrecke MS24 dargestellt ist. Weist beispielsweise der Sender S1 eine sehr grobe Richtcharakteristik mit einem verhältnismäßig breiten Lichtstrahlungswinkel, beispielsweise 20 Grad, auf, so kann der Sender S1 auch noch einen entfernter angeordneten Empfänger E5, der ebenfalls einen großen Strahlungswinkel besitzt, mit seinem Lichtstrahl treffen. Dies ist mit der Meßstrecke MS15 dargestellt. Der Empfänger E5 empfängt also Licht von Sender S1 und vom Sender S2 mit einer Empfangskeule, die einen breiten Strahlungswinkel hat. Eine solche Anordnung von Sendern und Empfängern von Extinktionsmeldern wird man für große Räume vorsehen. Dabei erfolgt eine besonders vorteilhafte Auswertung mit dem bekannten Pulsmeldersystem, in dem die Empfänger, wie oben schon beschrieben, als Analogwert-sensoren ausgebildet sind und einzeln der Reihe nach abgefragt werden können. Auf diese Weise ist es mit der zentralen Auswerteeinrichtung möglich den Ort eines Brandherdes genau zu ermitteln.6 shows a combination of a plurality of transmitters S1, S2,... Sn, which are arranged in a matrix and a plurality of receivers E1 to E6 or En, which are arranged in a segment of a circle around the transmitters. This is shown in top view. The respective transmitting and receiving lobes are no longer shown here, rather measuring sections MS are shown between the transmitters and the receivers. The measuring section M Sll exists between the receiver E1 and the transmitter S1. The transmitter S1 also has three further symmetrically arranged radiation directions in which the receivers E2 to E4 are arranged, so that, for example, the measuring path MS14 exists between the transmitter S1 and the receiver E4. However, since a further transmitter S2 is arranged and also has four symmetrical radiation directions, the one light beam of the transmitter S2 also contains the receiver E4 with a further reception direction, which is represented here by the measuring path MS24. If, for example, the transmitter S1 has a very rough directional characteristic with a relatively wide light radiation angle, for example 20 degrees, the transmitter S1 can also hit a receiver E5 which is arranged further away and also has a large radiation angle with its light beam. This is shown with the measuring section MS15. The receiver E5 therefore receives light from the transmitter S1 and from the transmitter S2 with a receiving lobe which has a wide radiation angle. Such an arrangement of transmitters and receivers of extinction detectors will be provided for large rooms. A particularly advantageous evaluation is carried out using the known pulse detector system, in which the receivers, as already described above, are designed as analog value sensors and can be queried one after the other. In this way it is possible with the central evaluation device to determine the exact location of a fire source.

In Fig. 7 ist schematisch in Seitenansicht und Draufsicht ein Empfänger E mit einer Fotodiode 5 dargestellt. Der Empfänger E besitzt ein Gehäuse 1 in dem auf einer elektrischen Baugruppe 2 eine Fotodiode 5 angeordnet ist. Das Gehäuse 1 weist eine Öffnung 4 bzw. eine hier nicht dargestellte Linse (4) auf, in bzw. durch die das Licht des Senders dringen und auf die Fotodiode 5 fallen kann. Am Gehäuse sind noch Sockelkontakte 3 angedeutet. In Draufsicht ist die Fotodiode 5 im Gehäuse 1 zu sehen, wobei das Gehäuse die Öffnung bzw. die Linse 4 aufweist.A receiver E with a photodiode 5 is shown schematically in side view and top view in FIG. 7. The receiver E has a housing 1 in which a photodiode 5 is arranged on an electrical assembly 2. The housing 1 has an opening 4 or a lens (4), not shown here, into or through which the light of the transmitter can penetrate and fall onto the photodiode 5. Base contacts 3 are also indicated on the housing. A top view shows the photodiode 5 in the housing 1, the housing having the opening or the lens 4.

In Fig. 8 ist ein Sender S mit vier verschiedenen symmetrisch angeordneten Strahlungsrichtungen dargestellt. Im Gehäuse 1 sind demzufolge vier Sendedioden 6 dargestellt, die in einem Viereck angeordnet sind. Das Gehäuse hat ebenfalls, in diesem Fall vier,Öffnungen 4. Die Dioden sind auf der elektrischen Baugruppe 2 angeordnet, die mit den Sockelkontakten 3 verbunden ist. Diese schematische Darstellung soll nur veranschaulichen, wie die Empfänger und Sender einer erfindungsgemäßen Extinkti-onsmelder-Anordnung aufgebaut sein können. Die Sende- und Fotodioden werden zweckmäßigerweise im Infrarotbereich berieben, um nicht durch mögliches Fremdlicht gestört zu werden. Die Strahlungswinkel der Sender und Empfänger sind im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichenm Extinktionsmeldern wesentlich größer, betragen also ein Vielfaches von einem Grad und können vorzugsweise einen Winkel von 10 bis 20 Grad aufweisen. Ebenso ist der Abstand von Sender und Empfänger im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Extinktionsmeldern wesentlich geringer als beispielsweise 100 Meter. Je nach Räumlichkeiten wird man einen Abstand von Sender und Empfänger vorzugsweise zwischen 5 und 20 Metern wählen.8 shows a transmitter S with four different symmetrically arranged radiation directions. Accordingly, four transmitter diodes 6 are shown in the housing 1, which are arranged in a square. The housing also has, in this case four, openings 4. The diodes are arranged on the electrical assembly 2, which is connected to the base contacts 3. This schematic representation is only intended to illustrate how the receivers and transmitters of an extinction detector arrangement according to the invention can be constructed. The transmitter and photodiodes are expediently rubbed in the infrared range in order not to be disturbed by possible external light. In contrast to conventional extinction detectors, the radiation angles of the transmitters and receivers are much larger, i.e. they are a multiple of one degree and can preferably have an angle of 10 to 20 degrees. In contrast to conventional extinction detectors, the distance between transmitter and receiver is also considerably less than 100 meters, for example. Depending on the premises, a distance between transmitter and receiver will preferably be between 5 and 20 meters.
