Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for detecting a fire with a comprehensive at least two sensor units a structurally limited space monitoring fire alarm, in which a first fire detection unit of the fire alarm a first fire characteristic is monitored by the scattered light method.
  • the scattered light method can also be used outside a darkened measuring chamber in the room to be monitored.
  • Most such disadvantages are trying to solve that the measurement or monitoring is limited to the immediate vicinity of the fire alarm.
  • a distance of 4 to 10 cm from the surface of the fire detector is generally considered typical.
  • the disadvantages can only be reduced to a limited extent.
  • Linear smoke detectors send a beam of light across the room to be monitored and trigger an alarm when the beam is attenuated by smoke (extinction). It is irrelevant whether transmitter and receiver are arranged in separate devices on opposite walls of the room or if they are combined in one unit. In one unit then a reflector on the opposite wall is necessary. Since the measuring distance is usually several meters, the sensitivity of linear detectors is generally greater than that of scattered light detectors. In addition, they can be positioned in high rooms at a height where smoke is expected. Of course, the influence or even a total interruption of the light beam in such arrangements is much more likely than is the case when the beam is effective only in the detector environment.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a simple and efficient way to suggest the earliest possible detection of a fire.
  • a core of the invention is to be seen in that for the earliest possible detection of a fire, a fire detector with a first sensor unit for monitoring a first fire characteristic according to the scattered light method and a second sensor unit for monitoring a second fire characteristic according to the extinction method is used.
  • the first sensor unit consists of at least one light emitting transmitter unit and at least one receiving unit receiving the transmitted light.
  • the second sensor unit consists of at least two strongly bundled light emitting transmitting units and at least one receiving unit receiving the emitted light.
  • the signals of the two sensor units of the fire detector can be evaluated individually or in combination by a suitable evaluation unit such as a fuzzy processor.
  • the fire detector is generally mounted on the ceiling of the structurally limited space. The two sensor units can partially use the same components.
  • the at least two transmitting units emitting the highly concentrated light beams can be used jointly by both sensor units.
  • an IR laser diode, an IR diode, etc. can be used.
  • the receiving units can then forward the received signals to a dedicated evaluation unit of the fire alarm.
  • the highly collimated light beams emitted by the at least two transmitting units are directed from the ceiling towards the ground and may be inclined either parallel or slightly (outwardly). The angle of inclination is generally less than 10 degrees.
  • Smoke in the immediate vicinity of the fire detector is detected by the scattered light method and by the Extintechnischshabilit, further away from the ceiling smoke only by the Extintechnischshabilit because the scattered light is too weak.
  • the transmitting units are controlled shifted in time and therefore the light beams are transmitted temporally shifted.
  • a distance measurement provides information on whether a level change involves a partially reflecting object extending in the direction of the room height. It can then be assumed that between "normal" reflection location, location in the room where the monitoring of the second fire characteristic takes place according to the invention, and the fire detector in the room is an object interfering with the measurement. If this is the case, it can usually be concluded that it is impaired by living beings (persons, animals, etc.) or moving objects.
  • the distance measurement can, for example, with the help of in the EP 1391860 A1 revealed principle.
  • a major advantage of the method according to the invention is that a fire can be detected or detected much earlier. In this way, a fire alarm can be triggered earlier and thus risks for property damage and personal injury can be reduced to a minimum.
  • Another great advantage of this inventive fire alarm is that it can be integrated into the ceiling panel of a room and thus is flush with the ceiling.
  • Figure 1 shows a fire detector with two inventive sensor units 1, 2 and a cover plate AP.
  • cover plate AP which may consist of plastic, metal, wood, glass, etc.
  • windows or openings for the receiving units SLE and EE, as well as for the transmitting units SE are indicated.
  • This fire detector can be integrated into the ceiling of a room.
  • the cover AP of the fire detector can then be flush with the ceiling or slightly protruding.
  • the thick black lines indicate the respective measuring range.
  • the two sensor units 1, 2 are shown separated from each other, but according to the invention both sensor units 1, 2 should be integrated in a fire detector and at least the transmission units SE shared by the two sensor units 1, 2.
  • the first sensor unit 1 consists of two transmitting light emitting units SE and a scattered light receiving unit SLE.
  • the scattered light receiving unit SLE is aligned by means of two optics so that it detects only a near-detail cutout or measuring range of the beams.
  • the second sensor unit 2 consists of the same two transmission units SE and an extinction reception unit EE.
  • the extinction receiving unit EE detects smoke by the extinction method.
  • the extinction receiver EE with its optics forms an area at a greater distance from the ceiling, which covers all emitted light beams and lies outside the area monitored by the scattered light method.
  • the impact points of the transmission units SE on the floor or objects that are about 2 to 5 meters from the ceiling are depicted.
  • the reflection of the emitted light rays on the ground or at most on pieces of furniture such as tables, shelves, etc. is detected up to a ceiling height of for example 5 meters.
  • the reflected light is measured.
  • the emitted light rays penetrate each smoke layer at any height.
  • the received signals according to the scattered light method and the received signals according to the extinction method are combined (Neuro Fuzzy processor) that a very safe statement regarding the presence of a fire the one in connection with a rather uncertain statement of the other sensor system is enough to trigger a fire alarm.
  • a triggering of a fire alarm will generally occur much earlier than with point detectors that only operate according to the scattered light method.
