Definitions

  • This invention relates to smoke detectors.
  • Smoke detectors are very popular in office buildings, public places and homes. They are often in the form of a cylindrical or dome-shaped box mounted on the ceiling. When smoke is detected, the alarm goes off or the detector sends an electrical or RF signal to a central security system to trigger a global alarm of the whole building.
  • Smoke detectors often use one of two operating principles: optical and ionization.
  • an optical smoke detector there are basically a light source and a light detector mounted separately at two different locations in the casing of the device.
  • the light beam emitted from the light source does not directly fall on the detector under the smoke-free condition.
  • smoke appears in the space between the detector and the light source, light is scattered and thus partially enters the detector and an alarm signal is triggered.
  • an ionization smoke detector there is a weak radioactive source (1 ⁇ Ci of radioactive americium-241).
  • the radiation passes through an ionization chamber, which ionizes air molecules inside the chamber.
  • the chamber In the chamber, there are two electrodes facing each other, between which a small, constant ionized current flows. In the condition of no smoke, this current is constantly present. When smoke appears in the chamber, smoke particles neutralize the air ions, which reduces the ionization and interrupts this current, setting off the alarm.
  • a smoke detection system comprising:
  • the invention uses a detector assembly in the form of a sensor and light source. This can be formed as a packaged circuit and can therefore be low cost and have a small volume.
  • the detector assembly is mounted in a housing including a reflector, which redirects the light source light back towards the detector assembly.
  • the invention provides an integrated optical smoke detector that has much more compact form-factor, low cost, and low power consumption.
  • the light source is preferably mounted directly on a silicon die, i.e. over the integrated circuit.
  • the silicon die contains the photodetector or photodetectors and preferably also the processor, in the form of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to control the system and perform signal processing.
  • ASIC application specific integrated circuit
  • the light source can be a bare LED die mounted on the silicon die, an OLED, or integrated silicon-based light source built inside the silicon die.
  • the optical detector can comprise a detector laterally spaced from the reflected path of the light source output when the cavity is clear of light scattering material.
  • the detector thus has a very low signal in the absence of smoke, but is near enough to the optical path that light scattering caused by smoke will provide a detector reading.
  • the optical detector comprises a first detector in the reflected path of the light source output when the cavity is clear of light scattering material, and a second detector laterally spaced from the reflected path of the light source output when the cavity is clear of light scattering material.
  • the processor can be adapted to determine a difference between the first and second detector signals and derive the signal indicating the presence of smoke from the difference signal.
  • the (or each) detector can comprise a photodiode or photodiode array.
  • the integrated circuit can further comprise a temperature sensor. This can be used to provide additional information from which to determine a fire event, and/or it can be used to provide compensation for variations in circuit element performance dependent on temperature.
  • the system can further comprise a radio frequency transmission system for sending a wireless smoke detection message.
  • a radio frequency transmission system for sending a wireless smoke detection message. This enables the detector to be low power, as the alarm signal can be generated by a remote unit.
  • An energy scavenging unit and an energy store can be provided so that the detector can be wireless (i.e. not require connection to the mains) but also be battery-free.
  • the system can be formed as a wireless sensor node.
  • the invention provides an integrated optical smoke detector that has much more compact form-factor, low cost, and low power consumption.
  • a light source is mounted directly on a silicon die or formed as a structure within the silicon die.
  • the silicon die also contains one or more photodetectors and an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) to control the system and perform signal processing.
  • ASIC application specific integrated circuit
  • the light source can be a bare LED die mounted on the silicon die, an OLED, or integrated silicon-based light source built inside the silicon die.
  • the invention is based on the application of optical technology which is currently being developed by the applicant in the field of input devices (and in particular for a so-called optical joystick) to the field of smoke detection.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are repeated from WO 2010/035170 .
  • Figure 1 shows an overall configuration of the circuitry of the optical joystick which has technology aspects which can be used to implement the present invention.
  • a plurality of photodetectors D1 to D4 have a light sensing function.

  • Each of the detectors D1 to D4 may be composed of a plurality of light sensitive elements, such as photo diodes or photo transistors.
  • a light emitting element S is provided adjacent to the plural detectors D1 to D4, and is arranged for emitting light which can be reflected by a reflecting unit 5 (not shown in Figure 1 , explained hereinafter) to obtain incident light on each of the plurality of detectors D1 to D4 by means of the reflecting unit 5.
  • the light source S may be composed of a plurality of light emitting elements, such as LEDs.
  • a further subset of the plurality of detectors D1 to D4, and specifically the third and fourth detectors D3 and D4 are connected to a second processing unit 7 for providing a corresponding pre-processing of output signals of the respective subset of detectors (the detectors D3 and D4), as in the case of the first processing unit 6.
  • the pre-processed output signals of the plurality of detectors D1 to D4, and specifically the output signals of the first and second processing units 6 and 7 are communicated to a controller 8 having the function of a data evaluation and control means.
  • the controller 8 is adapted for performing on the one hand the data evaluation on the basis of the pre-processed output signals of the plurality of detectors D1 to D4, and on the other hand to perform a control of the entire detection system. This includes the controlled driving of the light source S for emitting corresponding light.
  • the output signals of the plurality of detectors D1 to D4 are in addition communicated to a further controller 8a also having the function of a data evaluation and control means for a push button command detection.
  • the further controller 8a is adapted for performing the data evaluation on the basis of the output signals of the plurality of detectors D1 to D4. Specifically, based on the supply of the output signal of each of the plurality of detectors, a common signal is produced (by taking the sum of all signals), and a click signal (Z detection signal) is generated and then fed to the (central) controller 8.
  • the controller 8 may have a connection to any further device and corresponding control means thereof depending upon the device or apparatus to which the detection system is connected or which the detection system is applied to.
  • Figure 1 shows the circuit structure as general connections for transmitting and/or receiving data, as well as current and/or voltage signals between the various components of the circuitry shown.
  • Figure 1 shows the basic elements or components of the circuitry and hardware of the joystick
  • Figure 2 shows the cross-sectional view of the arrangement of the joystick.
  • FIG. 2 depicts a package (or casing) 9, wherein on a substrate 10 arranged in a cavity 11 of the package 9, the plurality of photodetectors D1 to D4 is arranged or embedded.
  • the substrate is fixed to the package 9, preferably in the central portion in the cavity 11 thereof by means of a metal layer 12.
  • the light source S schematically shown in Figure 1 is arranged on the substrate 10 preferably but not necessarily at a central portion thereof as a separate component, or may be embedded in the substrate 10, to emit light basically in a direction upward in Figure. 2 .
  • the plurality of detectors D1 to D4 is arranged around the light source S.
  • the electrical connections between the package and the detectors D1 to D4 and the light source S are provided by bonding wires, and the electrical connections of the package to the outside can be ball-grid; SMD (surface mounted devices), etc., but also flexible connections are possible.
  • the cavity 11 of the package extends above the light source S and the detectors D1 to D4 surrounded by sidewalls 13 of the package 9.
  • the substrate 10 in conjunction with the detectors D1 to D4, the light source S and the corresponding bonded connections is commonly housed inside the package, which may be provided in the form of an IC package.
  • the detection system is implemented in the IC package.
  • the knob 14 as shown in Figure 2 basically constitutes a cover over the package 9 and the cavity 11 thereof, and may be movable to a certain extent relative to the package 9. To this end, the knob 14 is flexibly supported by a flexible suspension mechanism which is preferably provided in the form of a spring 15 which allows the knob 14 to tilt a few degrees around a virtual point when the force from a user's finger is applied.
  • the knob Due to the elastic support of the knob 14 on the package 9 by the spring 15 the knob can return to the central position or rest position when the force of the user's finger is removed, this corresponding to a released position of the knob 14 (movable object). It also enables a push button detection, since the spring has two stable positions. When the reflective surface is moved nearer to the light source, the intensity reaching the sensors increases, whereas the differential signals (used to derive the x and y coordinates) remain unchanged. Thus, the click function can be detected uniquely.
  • a reflecting unit 5 is arranged in such a manner as to face the light source S.
  • the reflecting unit 5 is therefore in a functional relationship or operational connection with the knob (movable object) 14 and may be provided in the form of a mirror which can have a symmetrical shape such as a square shape or a circular shape, and the reflecting unit 5 may be mounted at the central portion of the knob 14 which may be provided in the form of a protruding portion extending in a direction downward in Figure 2 towards the substrate 10, and in particular towards the light source S.
  • the reflecting unit 5 is mounted to the bottom of the knob 14, that is, the lower surface of the knob 14, whereas the upper surface of the knob 14 constitutes the touch surface for any operation by the user.
  • the dimensions of the complete device are about a few millimetres, but can be larger if required.
  • the plural detectors D1 to D4, the light source S and further components may be arranged in an integrated manner on the substrate 10 of the package 9, so that an on-chip solution can be obtained.
  • the invention involves the use of the same conceptual layout of light source and detector arrangement.
  • a reflector is provided , but this is fixed in position, so that the spring arrangement and knob is not needed.
  • the detector arrangement also does not need to be able to discriminate between illumination in different directions.
  • the invention provides an integrated smoke detector which comprises a silicon die that contains an ASIC, a light source mounted on the silicon die, and at least one photodetector integrated on the silicon die.
  • Figure 3 shows the components of an example of smoke detector of the invention, in a smoke free condition (top image) and in a smoke filled environment (bottom image).
  • the device comprises an ASIC 30 onto which is mounted an LED chip 32.
  • the LED emits light upwardly towards a reflector 34 which folds the light path back down to the ASIC.
  • a detector D is provided as part of the ASIC (i.e. it is an integrated circuit component).
  • the ASIC 30 and LED 32 are encased in a transparent package 36 which protects the dies from corrosion due to the environment but still lets light pass through.
  • the ASIC 30 and LED 32 can also be encapsulated by a transparent lid (made of e.g. glass) which covers a cavity that contains the ASIC 30 and LED 32.
  • the package 36 is mounted within a casing 38 which defines a cavity.
  • the cavity is not sealed, but has gas entry and exit ports 40 to allow the flow of gas through the cavity, as shown in the lower figure.
  • the entry and exit ports are designed to prevent light entering the cavity.
  • openings are provided, as well as a spaced light absorbing cover.
  • the internal surface of the casing can also be light absorbing.
  • the detector D is insensitive to variations in light level outside the cavity, and the cavity is illuminated only by the LED.
  • FIG. 3 also shows that a temperature sensor T may also be integrated as part of the ASIC.
  • the ASIC is wirebonded to an underlying lead-frame 33.
  • Other techniques of interconnecting the ASIC to the outside world, such as through-silicon-vias are also possible.
  • the light source can comprise a bare LED die provided over the silicon die as shown in Figure 3 .
  • it can instead comprise an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), which can be formed by thin-film deposition and patterning directly on top of the silicon die.
  • OLED Organic Light Emitting Diode
  • the light source may also be a silicon device such as a P-N junction integrated in the silicon die that can emit light when a current is injected through the junction.
  • the LED 32 is stacked on top of the ASIC 30.
  • the LED 32 is mounted side-by-side with the ASIC 30 on the same lead-frame 33.
  • the photodetectors may be photodiodes, phototransistors, or photoresistors.
  • the optional temperature sensor T integrated in the same silicon die is for measuring the temperature of the die to compensate for the temperature influence on the circuit performance.
  • the temperature sensor can for example comprise a simple diode, transistor, resistor or a so-called Proportional To Absolute Temperature (PTAT) sensor.
  • PTAT Proportional To Absolute Temperature
  • the wirebonding is to a lead-frame and connects to a number of l/O pins. There are bondwires connecting the LED die to the silicon die and from the silicon die to the l/O pins of the leadframe.
  • the silicon die comprises one photodetector D.
  • the reflector is arranged such that in the condition of no smoke, the specularly reflected light impinges only on an area in close proximity to the photodetector, but does not significantly overlap on the photodetector D.
  • the detector D is basically outside the spread of the light from the reflector 34. Therefore under the smoke-free condition, the signal level of the photodetector is substantially zero, or calibrated as the "no-smoke" level.
  • Smoke is often associated with high temperature, although high temperature is not alone a reliable indicator of the presence of fire or smoke so that temperature sensing alone is not sufficient.
  • temperature sensing can provide additional information which can be used for the fire detection decision making.
  • An integrated temperature sensor T is used to provide the additional information concerning the temperature, and this can be used to enhance the accuracy of the smoke detection algorithm.
  • the temperature sensor can be used to subtract the influence of temperature on the detector signals in particular from the total output signal, thereby to increase the accuracy of the detection and to eliminate false alarms due to temperature influence of the detector signals.
  • the temperature behaviour of the photodetector can be determined and later during operation, can be subtracted from the measured signal.
  • the detector may be operated in duty cycles, so that every predetermined period of time, e.g. every a few seconds, or few tens of seconds, the light source and the detection circuit are powered for a short duration (e.g. a number of ms) just enough to detect the air situation. After that the circuit is put to standby for the rest of the time. With the duty cycled operation, the power consumption can be largely reduced.
  • a typical average power needed for such device is in the order of ⁇ W or a few tens of ⁇ W.
  • the smoke detector Due to the high degree of integration, the smoke detector has a very compact form-factor.
  • Figure 4 shows a second implementation in which the silicon die comprises two photodetectors D0 and D1. One serves as a reference detector (D0) and the other as a detection detector (D1). The other components in Figure 4 are identical to Figure 3 and the same reference numbers are used.
  • the two photodetectors are connected in a differential circuit to detect the difference between the detection and reference signals, so that the output signal is equal to signal D1 minus signal D0.
  • the reflector is arranged such that the specularly reflected light impinges only on the reference photodetector, but not significantly on the detection photodetector. Under the smoke-free condition, only the reference photodetector receives light and the differential signal is defined as the no-smoke level.
  • differential signal mode reduces the influences of e.g. aging of the light source, temperature change and drift, any residual ambient light, etc., which are common signals for the two photodetectors therefore are cancelled in the differential signal.
  • An integrated temperature sensor may still be useful in this case to eliminate any temperature effect that might be present outside the differential circuit.
  • Figure 5 shows an example of signals from a smoke detector made in accordance with the design shown in Figure 4 .
  • the plot shows the differential signal and shows the signal increases which arise when smoke is provided to the area surrounding the detector.
  • the temperature is varied over time, and this temperature variation results in a varying differential signal as a result of the effect of temperature on circuit components which are not cancelled by the differential operation.
  • the dotted line in the plot shows how the circuit components have an output which varies with temperature.
  • the smoke signal can be obtained by subtracting the total signal from the signal caused by temperature only.
  • This temperature-only function can be obtained as part of a calibration process as outlined above.
  • the smoke sensor is applied as part of an ultra low power Wireless Sensor Node (WSN).
  • WSN Wireless Sensor Node
  • Power usage of such a WSN is so low that it may be powered by scavenged energy, for example a small photo-voltaic cell suffices to keep a battery or super capacitor sufficiently charged to operate the node.
  • An example of such a sensor node is described in the paper of G. Chen et al. "A Millimeter-Scale Nearly-Perpetual Sensor System with Stacked Battery and Solar Cells" Proc. ISSCC, 2010 .
  • Scavenged sensor nodes have one notable benefit: neither wiring, nor battery replacement is needed to supply power to the node. This means installation and maintenance cost are kept to a minimum.
  • One well known drawback of smoke sensors powered with replaceable batteries is that they sound an alarm when battery replacement is imminent, which could be in the middle of the night.
  • the scavenged sensor can trigger a mains powered alarm by a radio link, so it only needs to be able to power a low power radio transmission, rather than the alarm itself.
  • Figure 6 shows a system diagram of a scavenged WSN. It comprises a scavenging element 60, an energy storage 62, a controller 64, a radio 66 (transmission and optionally also reception), and a number of sensing elements 68.
  • One of the sensing elements is the smoke detector according to this invention.
  • Another sensing element may be the optional temperature sensor mentioned above.
  • other sensing elements e.g. detecting CO2, CO, other toxins, Certainly may be present to form a more comprehensive "hazard sensor”.
  • Power conversion stages 70 are also shown that interface between the scavenging element 60 and the energy store and between the energy store and the controller (which in turn powers the sensors and radio circuitry). These enable optimal storage and extraction of energy from the energy store.
  • the electronics of the WSN can also be integrated in the same silicon die that contains the ASIC of the smoke detector.
  • the scavenging element extracts a small amount (typically tens or hundreds of microwatts) of power out of the ambient and converts it into electrical energy.
  • the scavenging element comprises of one or more photo-voltaic cells, which are able to generate the necessary energy even under typical indoor lighting conditions.
  • thermal and/or vibration scavenging may be used.
  • energy may be scavenged from a directed beam of RF energy.
  • the scavenged energy is stored temporarily in an energy storage device because both supply and demand of energy may vary. For example, when an indoor photo-voltaic is used, no energy may be extracted during the night when the lights are off.
  • the smoke detector used in the WSN can also be operated in duty cycles.
  • An internal clock wakes up the controller from standby mode periodically (e.g. every few seconds to a few tens of seconds). Upon waking up the controller will switch on the light source of the smoke detector and subsequently read its differential signal and the temperature sensor for a short period of time. The controller will determine whether smoke is present. If smoke is detected it will use the radio to send out a message containing that information.
  • the energy storage device may be a rechargeable battery or a (super) capacitor. This storage device may be a separate device located near the silicon die or integrated within the silicon die.
  • the different sensing elements generally convert physical or chemical properties into electrical signals. Also signal conditioning is considered to be part of the sensing element.
  • the controller e.g. a microcontroller
  • the radio is used to transmit the data to other nodes in the sensor & actuator network.
  • the WSN may be able to receive radio messages, such as acknowledgements or configuration messages.
  • the smoke detector may be integrated in mobile phones or Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) for personal fire warning.
  • PDAs Personal Digital Assistants
  • the smoke alarm signal can also be sent out to an emergency center or simply just triggers a sound alarm to warn the owner of the device.
  • the smoke detector of the invention has a small form-factor, low-power and low-cost.
  • the use of the differential signal mode and the extra temperature sensor helps increase the accuracy of the detection and reduce the risk of false alarm.
  • the smoke detector can be used in ultra low power wireless sensor network. Since the power budget of the system in this case is very low and the size is preferably small, the low-power feature and small form-factor of this detector are clearly advantages over conventional smoke detectors.
