Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft im Allgemeinen das technische Gebiet der Gebäudemanagementtechnik und im Speziellen ein Peripheriegerät für ein Gebäudemanagementsystem, welches neben einer Zentrale zumindest ein derartiges Peripheriegerät aufweist. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft insbesondere eine Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung für ein Grundgehäuse eines Peripheriegerätes. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ferner ein entsprechend erweitertes Peripheriegerät sowie ein Verfahren zum Erweitern des Gehäuses eines Peripheriegerätes eines Gebäudemanagementsystems.The present invention generally relates to the technical field of building management technology and, more particularly, to a peripheral device for a building management system which has at least one peripheral such as a central office. In particular, the present invention relates to a housing extension device for a base housing of a peripheral device. The present invention further relates to a correspondingly expanded peripheral device and a method for expanding the housing of a peripheral device of a building management system.
In modernen Gebäuden werden heutzutage Gebäudemanagementsysteme für die Klimaregulierung, für die Gefahrenerkennung und/oder für die Gefahrenabwehr verwendet. Gebäudemanagementsysteme tragen somit nicht nur zum Komfort sondern auch zur Sicherheit von in einem Gebäude befindlichen Personen bei. Ein Gebäudemanagementsystem weist dabei typischerweise eine Zentrale und mehrere mit der Zentrale gekoppelte Peripheriegeräte auf. Die Kopplung kann dabei über eine Leitung und/oder über eine Funkverbindung erfolgen.In modern buildings, building management systems are used today for climate regulation, hazard detection and / or security. Building management systems thus contribute not only to the comfort but also to the safety of persons located in a building. A building management system typically has a central office and several peripherals coupled to the central office. The coupling can take place via a line and / or via a radio link.
Im Falle eines Brandmeldesystems, welches als Gefahrmeldesystem im Sinne dieser Anmeldung ein spezieller Typ von Gebäudemanagementsystem darstellt, weisen die Brandmelde-Peripheriegeräte jeweils einen Rauchmelder auf. Im Falle einer Rauchdetektion wird dann eine Brandmelde-Zentrale informiert, welche dann weitere Maßnahmen zur Gefahrenabwehr wie beispielsweise eine Evakuierung von in dem Gefahrenbereich befindlichen Personen in die Wege leitet.In the case of a fire alarm system, which represents a special type of building management system as a danger reporting system in the sense of this application, the fire alarm peripheral devices each have a smoke detector. In the case of smoke detection, a fire alarm center is then informed, which then initiates further security measures such as evacuation of persons located in the danger area in the way.
Neben Brandmelde-Peripheriegeräten, die über ein Stromkabel mit elektrischer Energie versorgt werden und häufig auch über eine Leitung mit ihrer Brandmelde-Zentrale verbunden sind, gibt es auch Peripheriegeräte, die mit einer Batterie oder mit mehreren Batterien betrieben werden. Dies sind vor allem Geräte, die über eine drahtlose Kommunikationsverbindung mit einer ihrer Brandmelde-Zentrale verbunden sind.In addition to fire alarm peripheral devices that are supplied with electrical energy via a power cable and are often also connected via a line to their fire alarm control panel, there are also peripherals that are operated with one battery or with multiple batteries. These are primarily devices that are connected via a wireless communication link to one of their fire alarm center.
Die Lebensdauer einer Batterie oder eines Batterie-Paketes mit mehreren Batterien hängt jedoch üblicherweise stark von der Qualität der jeweiligen Funkstrecke ab. Über die Funkstrecke wird von professionellen Brandmelde-Peripheriegeräten in regelmäßigen Intervallen von beispielsweise 3 Sekunden ein Signal an die Brandmelde-Zentrale übermittelt, mit dem der Brandmelde-Zentrale signalisiert wird, dass das jeweilige Brandmelde-Peripheriegerät in Betrieb ist aber aktuell keine Gefahrensituation vorliegt.However, the life of a battery or a battery pack with multiple batteries usually depends heavily on the quality of the respective radio link. A signal is transmitted to the fire alarm control panel via the radio link by professional fire alarm peripheral devices at regular intervals of, for example, 3 seconds, with which the fire alarm control panel is signaled that the respective fire alarm peripheral device is in operation but currently there is no dangerous situation.
Insbesondere aufgrund unterschiedlicher Funkstrecken ist es jedoch nicht unüblich, dass die Batterie-Lebensdauer wesentlich kürzer ist als das normale Serviceintervall, in dem die betreffenden Brandmelde-Peripheriegeräte beispielsweise auf Verschmutzungen und Verstaubungen untersucht werden, die so stark sind, dass sie von dem Signalauswertealgorithmus des jeweiligen Brandmelde-Peripheriegerätes nicht mehr kompensiert werden können. Deshalb ist es sinnvoll, Brandmelde-Peripheriegeräte mit unterschiedlichen Batterie-Paketen mit jeweils einer unterschiedlichen Leistung anzubieten. Unterschiedlich leistungsfähige Batterie-Pakete sind jedoch typischerweise unterschiedlich groß, so dass die Batterie-Aufnahmebereiche von unterschiedlichen Brandmelde-Peripheriegeräten verschieden sein müssen.However, due in particular to different radio links, it is not uncommon for the battery life to be significantly shorter than the normal service interval in which the fire alarm peripherals concerned are examined, for example, for soils and dust that are so strong that they are affected by the signal evaluation algorithm of the respective one Fire alarm peripheral device can no longer be compensated. Therefore, it makes sense to offer fire alarm peripherals with different battery packs, each with a different performance. However, different powerful battery packs typically have different sizes, so the battery receiving areas must be different from different fire alarm peripherals.
Um einen bestimmten Typ von Brandmelde-Peripheriegerät zur Verwendung mit verschiedenen Batterien kostengünstig anbieten zu können, ist es bekannt, das Batterieaufnahmefach mittels einer Gehäuseerweiterung zu vergrößern. So kann ein modulares System angeboten werden, bei dem der Kunde jeweils ein Brandmelde-Peripheriegerät mit einer für seine Bedürfnisse optimal dimensionierten Gehäuseerweiterung erwirbt.In order to offer a certain type of fire alarm peripheral device for use with different batteries cost, it is known to increase the battery receiving compartment by means of a housing extension. So can one modular system in which the customer each acquires a fire alarm peripheral device with an optimized housing extension for his needs.
Die Verwendung einer Gehäuseerweiterung hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass eine sogenannte Sockelüberwachung nicht oder nur mit sehr aufwendigen Maßnahmen erreicht werden kann. Unter einer Sockelüberwachung versteht man in diesem Zusammenhang einen Mechanismus, welcher insbesondere einer Kommunikationseinrichtung eines Brandmelde-Peripheriegerätes anzeigt, falls sich das Peripherieberät nicht in seiner Halterung und damit nicht an seinem vorgesehen Platz befindet. Die Kommunikationseinrichtung kann diesen Umstand dann an die Brandmelde-Zentrale melden. An der Brandmelde-Zentrale kann man dann ablesen, dass sich das betreffende Brandmelde-Peripheriegerät nicht an der vorgesehenen Stelle befindet.However, the use of a housing extension has the disadvantage that a so-called base monitoring can not be achieved or only with very expensive measures. Under a pedestal monitoring is understood in this context, a mechanism which indicates in particular a communication device of a fire alarm peripheral device, if the peripheral device is not in its holder and thus not in its intended place. The communication device can then report this circumstance to the fire alarm control panel. At the fire alarm center can then read that the relevant fire alarm peripheral device is not located at the intended location.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Erweitern des Gehäuses eines Peripheriegerätes für ein Gebäudemanagementsystem anzugeben, welches auf einfache und effektive Weise eine Sockelüberwachung ermöglicht. Eine weitere Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, ein entsprechendes erweitertes Peripheriegerät sowie ein Verfahren zum Erweitern des Gehäuses eines Peripheriegerätes eines Gebäudemanagementsystems anzugeben.The present invention has for its object to provide a device for expanding the housing of a peripheral device for a building management system, which allows a simple and effective way a socket monitoring. Another object of the present invention is to provide a corresponding peripheral peripheral device and a method for expanding the housing of a peripheral device of a building management system.

Die beschriebene Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung weist auf (a) ein Erweiterungsgehäuse, welches eine erste mechanische Schnittstelle aufweist, über welche das Erweiterungsgehäuse mit dem Grundgehäuse mechanisch koppelbar ist, und welches eine zweite mechanische Schnittstelle aufweist, über welche das Erweiterungsgehäuse mit einer Halterung mechanisch koppelbar ist, und (b) ein mechanisches Betätigungselement, welches sich zwischen der ersten mechanischen Schnittstelle und der zweiten mechanischen Schnittstelle erstreckt und welches derart ausgebildet ist, dass eine mechanische Kopplung zwischen dem Erweiterungsgehäuse und der Halterung an der zweiten mechanischen Schnittstelle von einer dem Grundgehäuse zugeordneten Detektionseinrichtung detektierbar ist.According to a first aspect of the invention, a housing extension device is described for a basic housing of a peripheral device of a building management system and in particular for a basic housing of a peripheral device which is in radio communication with a building management center can be coupled. The housing extension device described has (a) an expansion housing, which has a first mechanical interface, via which the expansion housing can be mechanically coupled to the base housing, and which has a second mechanical interface, via which the expansion housing can be mechanically coupled to a bracket, and ( b) a mechanical actuating element which extends between the first mechanical interface and the second mechanical interface and which is designed such that a mechanical coupling between the expansion housing and the holder on the second mechanical interface of a base housing associated detection device is detectable.
Der beschriebenen Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass eine Detektionseinrichtung, welche in bzw. an dem Grundgehäuse angeordnet ist, mittelbar über das mechanische Betätigungselement die Anwesenheit der Halterung an dem Erweiterungsgehäuse überprüfen kann. Damit kann die Detektionseinrichtung auf einfache und effektive Weise feststellen, ob sich das Peripheriegerät tatsächlich an der Halterung und damit an seinem vorgesehenen Ort befindet.The housing extension device described is based on the finding that a detection device, which is arranged in or on the base housing, can indirectly check the presence of the mounting on the expansion housing via the mechanical actuating element. Thus, the detection device can determine in a simple and effective way, whether the peripheral device is actually on the holder and thus at its intended location.
Die Halterung kann beispielsweise ein Sockel sein, der sich an der Wand oder der Decke eines zu überwachenden Raumes befindet. Der Sockel kann dann an der betreffenden Stelle angebracht werden und danach das Peripheriegerät auf bequeme Weise sicher in den Sockel eingesetzt werden. Beispielsweise bei Inspektionsarbeiten und/oder einem Batteriewechsel kann das Peripheriegerät dann temporär aus der Halterung entnommen werden.The holder may for example be a base, which is located on the wall or the ceiling of a room to be monitored. The socket can then be mounted in the relevant location and then the peripheral device can be safely inserted into the base in a comfortable manner. For example, during inspection work and / or a battery change, the peripheral device can then be removed temporarily from the holder.
Die Detektionseinrichtung kann über das mechanische Betätigungselement eine Anwesenheitskontrolle des Halters an der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung durchführen und dabei feststellen, ob sich das System bestehend aus Peripheriegerät und Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung an seinem vorgesehenen Platz an der Halterung befindet. Falls dies nicht der Fall sein sollte, dann kann die Detektionsvorrichtung eine Kommunikationseinrichtung des Peripheriegerätes dazu veranlassen, eine Gebäudemanagementzentrale entsprechend zu informieren.The detection device can perform a presence control of the holder on the housing extension device via the mechanical actuator and determine whether the system consisting of peripheral device and Housing extension device is located at its intended place on the bracket. If this is not the case, then the detection device may cause a communication device of the peripheral device to inform a building management center accordingly.
Die Information, dass sich die Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung und damit auch das Peripheriegerät nicht an der Halterung befinden, kann beispielsweise mittels eines geeigneten Funksignales erfolgen. Diese Information kann jedoch auch dadurch an eine Zentrale übermittelt werden, dass innerhalb einer bestimmten Zeitspanne entsprechende Signale ausbleiben, welche im Normalfall von der Kommunikationseinrichtung an die Zentrale übermittelt werden.The information that the housing extension device and thus also the peripheral device are not located on the holder, for example, by means of a suitable radio signal. However, this information can also be transmitted to a central office by failing corresponding signals within a certain period of time, which are normally transmitted from the communication device to the center.
Das Peripheriegerät kann abhängig von der zu erfassenden physikalischen Messgröße eine Detektoreinheit mit einem geeigneten Sensor aufweisen. Insbesondere wenn es sich bei dem Peripheriegerät um einen Gefahrenmelder handelt, kann der Sensor beispielsweise ein Rauchsensor, ein Temperatursensor und/oder ein Gassensor sein. Auch ein Bewegungssensor kann beispielsweise zur Überwachung von Räumen (Intrusionsschutz) verwendet werden. Der Sensor kann jedoch auch ein Klimasensor sein und bei einem Peripheriegerät verwendet werden, welches Teil einer als Klimaanlage ausgebildeten Gebäudemanagementsystems ist.Depending on the physical measured variable to be detected, the peripheral device may have a detector unit with a suitable sensor. In particular, when the peripheral device is a hazard detector, the sensor may be, for example, a smoke sensor, a temperature sensor and / or a gas sensor. A motion sensor can also be used, for example, for monitoring rooms (intrusion protection). However, the sensor may also be a climate sensor and used with a peripheral device that is part of an air conditioning building management system.
Gemäß einem Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung bildet das Erweiterungsgehäuse einen Aufnahmebereich für zumindest ein Versorgungselement. Das Peripheriegerät kann somit abhängig von der Größe der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung mit unterschiedlichen Versorgungselementen betrieben werden, welche jeweils ein geeignetes Volumen für den Aufnahmebereich benötigen. Das Peripheriegerät kann somit mit verschiedenen Versorgungselementen jeweils in einer räumlich besonders kompakten Form betrieben werden, wobei durch eine geeignete Anpassung der Größe des Erweiterungsgehäuses unnötige Hohlräume in dem Aufnahmebereich auf effektive Weise vermieden werden können.According to one embodiment of the invention, the expansion housing forms a receiving area for at least one supply element. The peripheral device can thus be operated depending on the size of the housing extension device with different supply elements, each of which requires a suitable volume for the receiving area. The peripheral device can thus be operated with different supply elements each in a spatially particularly compact form, with unnecessary cavities by a suitable adaptation of the size of the expansion housing in the receiving area can be effectively avoided.
Das Grundgehäuse, welches auch als primäres Gehäuse des Peripheriegerätes bezeichnet werden kann, kann beispielsweise für ein vorgegebenes kleinstes Versorgungselement bzw. für ein kleinstes Pack aus Versorgungselementen mit einer minimalen Batterielebensdauer konstruiert werden. Falls von dem Kunden bzw. dem Betreiber des Peripheriegerätes eine längere Lebensdauer des oder der Versorgungselemente gewünscht wird, kann das Peripheriegerät mit entsprechend größeren Versorgungselementen betrieben werden. Damit das oder die größeren Versorgungselemente in denn gleichen Aufnahmebereich hineinpassen, wird die beschriebene Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung zwischen dem Grundgehäuse und die Halterung eingesetzt. Auf diese Weise kann das Aufnahmebereich abhängig von der Größe der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung bzw. des Erweiterungsgehäuse abhängig von dem oder von den zu verwendenden Versorgungselementen in geeigneter Weise erweitert werden.The base housing, which may also be referred to as the primary housing of the peripheral device, may be constructed, for example, for a given smallest supply element or for a smallest pack of supply elements with a minimum battery life. If the customer or the operator of the peripheral device a longer life of the or the supply elements is desired, the peripheral device can be operated with correspondingly larger supply elements. In order for the one or more larger supply elements to fit into the same receiving area, the described housing extension device is inserted between the base housing and the holder. In this way, depending on the size of the case widening device and the expansion case, respectively, the receiving area may be appropriately extended depending on or from the supply members to be used.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist das mechanische Betätigungselement ein einstückiges Element. Dies bedeutet, dass das mechanische Betätigungselement ohne jeglichen mechanischen Mechanismus wie beispielsweise eine Hebelmechanik realisiert werden kann. Das mechanische Betätigungselement kann daher beispielsweise mittels eines einfachen Spritzgussbauteils realisiert werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the mechanical actuating element is a one-piece element. This means that the mechanical actuator can be realized without any mechanical mechanism such as a lever mechanism. The mechanical actuating element can therefore be realized, for example, by means of a simple injection-molded component.
Das beschriebene einstückige Element kann relativ zu dem Erweiterungsgehäuse verschiebbar gelagert sein. Dabei kann das einstückige Element derart geführt sein, dass es von der Halterung in eine vorbestimmte Endposition gedrückt wird, wenn sich das Erweiterungsgehäuse an der Halterung befindet.The one-piece element described may be slidably mounted relative to the expansion housing. In this case, the one-piece element may be guided such that it is pressed by the holder in a predetermined end position when the expansion housing is located on the holder.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist das mechanische Betätigungselement einen Stößel auf. Der Stößel kann bei einem Anbringen der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung an der Halterung in eine bestimmte Endposition gezwungen werden, so dass sich eine Kopplung zwischen dem Erweiterungsgehäuse und der Halterung an der Position des Stößels anlesen lässt.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the mechanical actuating element has a tappet. The plunger may be in attaching the housing extension device be forced on the bracket in a certain end position, so that a coupling between the expansion housing and the bracket can be read at the position of the plunger.
Der Stößel kann auch mit einem Federelement gekoppelt sein. Dieses kann den Stößel in eine zu der genannten Endposition unterschiedlichen Ausgangsposition drücken, wenn die Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung nicht an der Halterung angebracht ist. Bei einem Anbringen der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung an der Halterung wird dann der Stößel entgegen der Federkraft des Federelements in seine Endposition gedrückt.The plunger may also be coupled to a spring element. This can push the plunger in a different initial position to said end position, when the housing extension device is not attached to the holder. When attaching the housing extension device to the holder then the plunger is pressed against the spring force of the spring element in its end position.
Das Federelement kann auch einem Schalter wie beispielsweise einem Mikroschalter zugeordnet sein, welcher die Position des Stößels und damit die Anwesenheit der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung an der Halterung erfasst.The spring element may also be associated with a switch such as a microswitch, which detects the position of the plunger and thus the presence of the housing extension device on the holder.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die erste mechanische Schnittstelle einen Schraubverschluss und/oder einen Bajonettverschluss auf. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass das Grundgehäuse des Peripheriegerätes und die Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung auf einfache und zugleich zuverlässige Weise mechanisch miteinander verbunden werden können. Das Grundgehäuse und die Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung können somit zusammen ein stabiles Gesamtgehäuse mit einem für größere Versorgungselemente wie beispielsweise Batterien geeigneten Aufnahmebereich darstellen.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the first mechanical interface has a screw cap and / or a bayonet closure. This has the advantage that the base housing of the peripheral device and the housing extension device can be mechanically connected to one another in a simple yet reliable manner. The base housing and the housing extension device may thus together constitute a stable overall housing with a receiving area suitable for larger supply elements such as batteries.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die zweite mechanische Schnittstelle einen Bajonettverschluss auf. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung zusammen mit dem Grundgehäuse des Peripheriegerätes auf einfache und zugleich zuverlässige Weise an der Halterung angebracht werden kann.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the second mechanical interface has a bayonet closure. This has the advantage that the housing extension device together with the base housing of the peripheral device can be attached to the holder in a simple and reliable manner.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird ein Peripheriegerät für ein Gebäudemanagementsystem beschrieben. Das Peripheriegerät weist auf (a) ein Grundgehäuse, (b) eine Detektionseinrichtung, welche an dem Grundgehäuse angebracht ist, und (c) eine Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung des oben beschriebenen Typs. Die Detektionseinrichtung ist eingerichtet mittelbar über das mechanische Betätigungselement eine mechanische Kopplung zwischen dem Erweiterungsgehäuse und der Halterung zu detektieren.In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a peripheral device for a building management system is described. The peripheral device comprises (a) a base housing, (b) a detection device mounted on the base housing, and (c) a housing extension device of the type described above. The detection device is set up indirectly to detect a mechanical coupling between the expansion housing and the holder via the mechanical actuating element.
Dem beschriebenen Peripheriegerät liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass durch die Verwendung der oben beschriebenen Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung das effektive Volumen beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von elektrischen Versorgungselementen wie Akkus oder Batterien auf einfache Weise vergrößert und trotzdem eine Anwesenheitskontrolle des Erweiterungsgehäuse an der Halterung durchgeführt werden kann.The described peripheral device is based on the finding that the effective volume, for example for accommodating electrical supply elements such as rechargeable batteries or batteries, can be increased in a simple manner by using the housing widening device described above and, nevertheless, a presence check of the widening housing on the mounting can be carried out.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist das Peripheriegerät zusätzlich eine Kommunikationseinrichtung zum drahtlosen Kommunizieren mit einer Gebäudemanagementzentrale auf. Dabei sind die Detektionseinrichtung und die Kommunikationseinrichtung derart miteinander gekoppelt, dass bei einer fehlenden Kopplung zwischen der Halterung und der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung die Kommunikationseinrichtung deaktiviert ist.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the peripheral device additionally has a communication device for wireless communication with a building management center. In this case, the detection device and the communication device are coupled to one another such that in the case of a lack of coupling between the holder and the housing extension device, the communication device is deactivated.
So kann beispielsweise bei einem Brandmeldesystem, bei dem das Peripheriegerät ein Brandmelder ist, der über Funk mit einer Brandmeldezentrale verbunden ist, wirksam verhindert oder zumindest erkannt werden, dass ein Benutzer absichtlich oder aus Nachlässigkeit das Brandmelde-Peripheriegerät zusammen mit der Detektoreinheit von der fest an der Decke eines zu überwachenden Raumes angebrachten Halterung entfernt und das Peripheriegerät in einen Bereich des Raumes bringt, in dem in einem Brandfall keine oder nur eine deutlich retardierte Rauchentwicklung entsteht. Ein derartiger Bereich ist beispielsweise eine geschlossene Schublade, in die im Brandfall kaum Rauch eindringen wird. In einem solchen Fall würde nämlich die Kommunikationseinrichtung an die Zentrale des Brandmeldesystems in regelmäßigen Abständen ein Signal senden, mit dem auch dann der Zentrale ein Nichtvorhandensein von Rauch angezeigt würde, wenn tatsächlich schon Rauch in den Raum aber (noch) nicht in den rauchfreien Bereich des Raumes eingedrungen ist.Thus, for example, in a fire alarm system in which the peripheral device is a fire alarm, which is connected via radio with a fire panel, effectively prevented or at least recognized that a user intentionally or from negligence, the fire alarm peripheral device together with the detector unit of the fixed removed the ceiling of a space to be monitored mounted bracket and brings the peripheral device in an area of the room in which in a fire no or only a clearly retarded smoke development. Such an area is For example, a closed drawer into which hardly any smoke will penetrate in case of fire. In such a case, namely, the communication device would send to the central office of the fire alarm system at regular intervals a signal with the head office would indicate the absence of smoke even if smoke in the room but not (yet) in the smoke-free area of the Room has penetrated.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist das Peripheriegerät zusätzlich eine Detektoreinheit auf, welche zum Erkennen einer Gefahrensituation eingerichtet ist und welche direkt oder indirekt mit einer Zentrale des Gebäudemanagementsystems koppelbar ist.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the peripheral device additionally has a detector unit which is set up to recognize a dangerous situation and which can be coupled directly or indirectly to a center of the building management system.
Die Detektoreinheit kann insbesondere über die oben beschriebene Kommunikationseinrichtung mit der Zentrale eines als Gefahrmelde- oder als Brandmeldesystem ausgebildeten Gebäudemanagementsystems gekoppelt sein.The detector unit can in particular be coupled via the communication device described above to the center of a building management system designed as a hazard alarm or as a fire alarm system.
Gemäß einem weiteren Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung weist die Detektoreinheit einen Rauchsensor auf. Der Rauchsensor kann ein auf dem optischen Streulichtprinzip beruhender Rauchsensor sein, beim das lediglich dann Streulicht auf einen Fotodetektor trifft, wenn sich innerhalb einer Streukammer Rauchaerosole befinden. In diesem Zusammenhang ist unter dem Begriff Licht prinzipiell jede Art von elektromagnetischer Strahlung zu verstehen. Insbesondere erscheint derzeit jedoch eine Strahlung im sichtbaren oder im infraroten Spektralbereich als für die Rauchdetektion an besten geeignet.According to a further exemplary embodiment of the invention, the detector unit has a smoke sensor. The smoke sensor can be a smoke sensor based on the scattered light optical principle, in which only scattered light strikes a photodetector when smoke aerosols are present within a scatter chamber. In this context, the term light is to be understood in principle as any type of electromagnetic radiation. In particular, however, radiation in the visible or in the infrared spectral range currently appears to be best suited for smoke detection.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird ein Verfahren zum Erweitern des Gehäuses eines Peripheriegerätes eines Gebäudemanagementsystems beschrieben. Das Verfahren weist ein Anbringen einer Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung des oben beschriebenen Typs an ein Grundgehäuse eines Peripheriegerätes des ebenfalls oben beschriebenen Typs auf.In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a method of extending the housing of a peripheral device of a building management system is described. The method comprises attaching a housing extension device of the above to a basic housing of a peripheral device of the type also described above.
Auch dem beschriebenen Verfahren liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass durch die Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung das effektive Volumen des Peripheriegerätes, welches beispielsweise zur Aufnahme von elektrischen Versorgungselementen verwendet wird, auf einfache Weise vergrößert werden kann. Durch das mechanische Betätigungselement, welches sich zwischen den beiden mechanischen Schnittstellen der Gehäuseerweiterungsvorrichtung erstreckt, kann auf einfache und effektive Weise eine Anwesenheitskontrolle des Erweiterungsgehäuse an der Halterung durchgeführt werden.The described method is also based on the knowledge that the effective volume of the peripheral device, which is used, for example, for receiving electrical supply elements, can be increased in a simple manner by the case expansion device. By the mechanical actuator, which extends between the two mechanical interfaces of the housing extension device, a presence control of the expansion housing can be performed on the holder in a simple and effective manner.
