  • the inside of the gap ZW has light-absorbing structures, such as a black paint.
  • the opening OP is arranged at the vertex SP of the detector hood 4.
  • a temperature sensor TS for detecting the current ambient temperature T in the immediate vicinity of the fire detector 1 is arranged.
  • the thermistor TS is attached to the largely direction-independent temperature detection at a central position on the vertex SP of the fire detector 1.
  • the electrical contacts of the thermistor TS are contacted directly with the circuit carrier 9.
  • the detector hood 4 has a convex outer contour on its outer side AS.
  • the detector hood 4 has an approximately equal wall thickness in the range of 1 to 2 mm.
  • FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment with a centrally located photosensor 6 and with an opposite focusing element FOC according to the invention.
  • the focusing element FOC has such a focusing geometry that the scattered light emitted by the scattered light center Z and directed in the opposite direction to the photosensor 6 is focused and reflected in the direction of the photosensor 6. This advantageously increases the amount of light that the photosensor 6 receives from the scattered light volume SZ for the optical smoke detection.
  • the scattered light reaching from the scattered light center Z to the focusing element FOC also has approximately the same scattering angle as the scattered light reaching the photosensor 6 directly from the scattered light center Z.
  • the focusing element FOC may be a mirror surface as described above. Preferably, it is a "black" mirror, i. a smooth, shiny surface, which is formed in the black plastic of the base body G.
  • the focusing element FOC comprises the contour of a part of an ellipsoid of revolution whose first focal point lies in the scattered light center Z and whose second focal point lies in the immediate region in front of the photosensor 6.
  • FIG. 4 further shows a formed in the radial outer region RA of the body G funnel TR as a light trap LF according to the invention.
  • a passage opening in an inner wall IW of the base body G is indicated, through which the light beam R, B enters the hopper TR.
  • FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the fire detector 1 according FIG. 4 along the viewing direction V marked there. It can now be seen in detail how the light beam L passes through the measuring space IR of the measuring chamber M and through the central area of the detector 1 into the light trap LF. The light beam L thereby intersects the main axis SA of the detector 1.
  • the light trap LF is formed or formed in a cavity of the radial outer region RA of the main body G.
  • the radial outer region RA of the main body G is limited by an inner wall IW, by which the optical measuring chamber M itself is limited. In the inner wall IW and the passage opening DL is recessed, through which the light beam L passes.
  • the light trap LF has the form of a funnel TR, which extends around the main axis SA of the detector 1 in the radial outer region RA of the body G and the input side passes into a tubular bend, the entire region of the bend then directly the incident light beam L opposite. All light rays of the light beam L are then through the inner contour of the light trap LF in lateral, coaxial direction to the main axis SA of the detector 1 in the funnel TR of the light trap LF inside reflected. The light rays then run dead after repeated lossy reflection finally in the ever-narrowing funnel TR dead.
  • FIG. 6 shows a plan view of the fire detector 1 according FIG. 4 by way of example two funnels TR formed in the radial outer region RA of the main body G as a light trap LF.
  • the light trap LF which is twice as large, allows even more efficient light attenuation.
  • SCH designates a cutting edge in the passage opening DL, which separates the two funnels TR from one another.
  • FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment with a focusing element FOC of three optically reflective, adjacent segments according to the invention.
  • Each segment in this case is part of an ellipsoid of revolution whose first focal point lies in the scattered light volume and whose second focal point lies directly in front of the photosensor. This makes a special compact design possible.
  • the central opening OP in the detector hood 4 is covered by a dome DOM, leaving a plurality of radially outer, not further designated inlet openings.
  • the DOM serves as a mechanical protection for a temperature sensor TS, which projects through the opening OP into the DOM.
  • the inlet openings allow the passage of ambient air, so that a temperature detection by the temperature sensor TS is possible.
  • FIG. 8 shows a fifth embodiment with a plurality of circumferentially distributed ultrasound transmitters US and with a microphone MIC according to the invention. They are aligned such that they radiate in operation in the direction of a mounting surface MF, to which the fire detector 1 is attached.
  • a mounting base MS is shown, the radially as far outward extends, that the ultrasonic beam incident there is completely reflected from the surface of the mounting base MS.
  • the surface of the mounting base MS at least in the region of the impact of the respective ultrasound beam is flat and smooth.
  • ultrasonic transmitters US and ultrasonic receivers may be arranged on the circuit carrier, preferably at the radially outer end of the circuit carrier 9 and preferably alternately in the circumferential direction. Both the ultrasound transmitters US and the ultrasound receivers are acoustically aligned "obliquely" with the mounting surface MF. This is achieved in the present case by a respectively formed on the base body G reflection surface REF for ultrasonic waves UW.
  • the control unit 10 of the fire detector 1 is set up to control the respective ultrasound transmitters for emitting an acoustic signal in the direction of the mounting surface MF, to temporally evaluate a respective ultrasound signal originating from the ultrasound receivers and reflected in the vicinity of the fire detector 1 and to output a fault message, if a detected object is within a predetermined distance around the fire detector 1.
  • a microphone MIC for receiving the ultrasound waves UW may be provided, which is arranged centrally at the vertex SP of the detector hood 4.
  • the reference numeral N denotes an insect screen or a net which prevents the penetration of insects and larger dust particles into the interior of the optical measuring chamber.
  • the indicator LED LED is arranged on the inside LI of the circuit substrate 9. It shines in the opposite direction, ie in the direction of the circuit substrate 9 and through a through hole DO in the circuit substrate 9 through and further out into the environment of the fire detector 1.
  • the light emitting diode LED is an example of the type Gullwing.
  • the other sensors, such as photosensor 6 ', the heat radiation sensor 8, the gas sensor 7, the temperature sensor TS and the microphone MIC on the inside LI of the circuit substrate 9 may be arranged and through a corresponding passage opening OF in the circuit substrate 9, the respective measurement in the Detect environment of the fire detector 1.
  • the photosensor 6 of the fire sensor 5, 6 may be arranged on the outside LA of the circuit substrate 9 and be optically aligned by a corresponding passage opening DO in the direction of the measuring chamber IR of the measuring chamber M.
