Definitions

  • PIR passive infra-red
  • PIR sensors are usually contained within a housing of a non-translucent material to which is attached a multi-facet lens.
  • the housing contains a printed circuit board and switching components.
  • the PIR sensor In order that the PIR sensor should be contained inconspicuously as part of a lighting appliance, there is a desire to house the essential components in as small a space as possible and preferably such that it can be positioned behind the mounting plate of a typical domestic exterior light.
  • a PIR sensor device comprising a moulded housing having an open back and adapted to contain electronic switching components, a lens integrally moulded with and positioned on a front face of the housing and adapted to contain a PIR sensor, and a closure for the open back, the housing and lens being moulded from a material which is translucent to infra-red light.
  • the device essentially comprises a housing 10 and a back plate 11.
  • the housing 10 is injection moulded from a material which is translucent to infra-red light and includes a lens 12 of generally hemi-spherical shape which extends forwardly from the otherwise flat front face of the housing.
  • the internal surface of the lens 12 is formed with facets 13.
  • a PIR sensor 14 and a printed circuit board with electronic switching components generally indicated at 15, are housed.
  • the printed circuit board may be retained by bonding or by fastening screws within the housing.
  • the back plate 11 is applied as a further closure for the housing, preferably by ultrasonic welding.
  • the back may be a snap-on fit and sealed with an adhesive or other sealing compound.
  • the material from which the housing is injection moulded is translucent to infra-red light and the external surface other than the lens housing 12 may be textured to render the internal components substantially invisible from the outside of the housing whilst the lens 12 will usually be smooth.
  • the housing will be 60mm long, 40mm wide and 15mm deep (excluding the lens housing 12).
  • the miniaturised and sealed PIR sensor device described herein may be positioned conveniently within the back plate of a wall-mounted lighting appliance, with the lens 12 exposed by or projecting through an aperture of some 20mm in diameter in the appliance. With this arrangement the need for a separate PIR housing beneath the appliance is avoided.
