Definitions
- the invention relates to a fire detector according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Fire detectors are used for the early detection of fires in areas with a corresponding fire load to protect people and property.
- Fire detectors are usually mounted on the ceiling and have a round, white housing with a diameter of approx. 10 cm and a height of approx. 7 cm to 10 cm. Due to their function, the housing sits on the ceiling.
- Fire detectors are industrial series products and fire detectors of one type and manufacturer usually look the same.
- the corresponding housing size can usually be recognized immediately on the ceiling as a fire alarm in rooms with public traffic.
- the uniformity of series production and the shape of the housing always represent a compromise between the function of the fire detector and the taste of the user and the visual requirements of the environment.
- a scattered light smoke detector which has a light transmitter and a light receiver, the are arranged in such a way that a scattering point lies outside the scattered-light smoke detector, the scattered-light smoke detector having a cover for protecting the light transmitter and the light receiver, and means for distinguishing between smoke and other foreign bodies which are located in an area around the scattering point.
- the means for differentiating between smoke and other foreign bodies have a processor for analyzing the time profile of received signals from the light receiver, the processor being connectable to the light receiver.
- the technology used for this scattered light smoke detector for • -identifying a fire enables the scattered light smoke detector to be installed essentially flush with the ceiling. This is an important step in terms of an inconspicuous installation of such fire detectors.
- a subsequent painting over of the fire detector to adapt to the newly designed environment is not, however, readily permitted, since with a fire detector flush with the ceiling without an optical labyrinth there is a risk that improperly overpainted the Response sensitivity of the fire detector is adversely affected.
- a scattered light smoke detector which has two light receivers or an imaging optics for a light receiver for setting a defined measurement volume.
- the fire detector designed according to the invention with the features of claim 1 offers the advantage of universal use, since it can be adapted in a simple and inexpensive manner to practically any ambient conditions.
- the fire detector has a cover cap that can be connected to the housing of the fire detector and that closes the housing flush with the ceiling.
- the cover cap has a recess into which pre-punched foils can be inserted before the cover cap is placed on the housing of the fire detector.
- Such films are inexpensive to manufacture in a lightfast design with a wide range of shades of color.
- the cover cap is preferably made transparent.
- the fire detector is preferably designed as an assembly kit which comprises foils with the common living room colors.
- the housing and the cover cap can preferably be connected to one another by a latching or clip connection. In another
- a variant can also be provided with a Velcro fastener.
- releasable connection means on the one hand ensure that the cover cap is held securely on the housing of the fire alarm. On the other hand, however, they also enable the cover cap to be easily removed for the exchange of a film and to be connected again to the housing.
- the material and shape of the cover cap can support the color match.
- the slightly convex shape of the cover cap can help to give the impression that color tones blend harmoniously.
- the cover cap can also be completely or at least in parts of its surface be slightly matted to promote this impression. The measures mentioned above blur the differences between adjacent areas with different surface structures and colors.
- covering material suitable for the environment can be cut to size at the place of assembly and inserted into the covering cap instead of a film.
- Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a flush-mounted: fire alarm
- FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a fire detector
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention.
- a fire detector 1 is shown in a cross section.
- the fire detector 1 comprises a flush mounting box 1.4 for the
- the fire detector 1 comprises a base 1.5, which is connected to the inside of the flush-mounted box 1.4 and on which the electrical wires of the cable are placed on contact elements, and a detector insert 1.1, which is inserted into the base 1.5 with a releasable closure device and thereby automatically connected to the Contact elements is connected.
- a radiation receiver 1.2 and a radiation transmitter 1.3 are arranged in the detector insert 1.1. Their beam paths include a scattering volume for the detection of fire gases.
- the fire detector 1 comprises a preferably transparent cover cap 3 and an exchangeable film 2 which is arranged between the cover cap 3 and the detector insert 1.1.
- the flush-mounted box 1.4 and the base 1.5 can be preassembled independently of the actual detector insert 1.1. It does not matter at what point in the assembly process the ceiling color is applied to the ceiling 4. When painting the ceiling 4, it is in principle required that the detector insert 1.1 is not installed.
- the detector insert 1.1 is normally inserted into the base 1.5 by a specialist and checked for correct function.
- the specialist Shortly before inserting the detector insert 1.1 into the base 1.5, the specialist, depending on the color of the ceiling 4, now selects a film 2 that matches its color, releases the cover cap 3 of the detector insert 1.1 and inserts the selected film 2, which has an appropriate fit due to industrial production. The cover cap 3 is then reconnected to the detector insert 1.1.
- the specialist ensures that when the film 2 is inserted, the fire detector 1 is not damaged and its function is retained.
- the selection of the The corresponding slide 2 can be done together with the user, so that the color selection corresponds to the conditions of use of the fire alarm system and the wishes of the user.
- the unused foils 2 can be kept with the documents of the fire alarm system.
- the fire detector 1 must be removed beforehand by the specialist, so that even when the film 2 is changed, it is ensured that the fire detector 1 is handled properly.
- FIG. 2 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a fire detector 1 in a cross section.
- a flush mounting box 1.4 is provided, which is fastened in a recess 5 of the ceiling 4.
- a base 1.5 is arranged in the flush mounting box 1.4.
- a detector insert 1.1 is detachably connected to the base 1.4.
- the detector insert 1.1 fastened in the base 1 does not cover the edge of the base 1.4.
- an annular cover 3.1 is also provided, which surrounds the cap 3. This diaphragm is also expediently designed to be easily removable, so that a film 3.1 can also be inserted in this annular edge region.
- the cover cap 3 is designed slightly convex. This effect can be further enhanced by the fact that the cover 3, or the cover 3.1, is not made completely transparent, but is provided with a slight matting. In this case, fire detector 1 appears like a slightly milky cover on the ceiling surface. Any differences that still exist in the color shades can no longer be distinguished.
- foils 2 in the fire detector 1 which are in a high color contrast to the color of the ceiling 4. This gives you the opportunity to play with the colors in terms of design and to achieve special visual effects when placing the detector.
