Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a photoelectric smoke sensor which is influenced by completely none of light source variation, window fouling of a light source and photodetecting elements, sensitivity variation of the photodetecting elements, etc. CONSTITUTION:A short-pulse which is generated by a one-shot pulse circuit 5 at every 1-5sec drives a light source driving circuit 7 to turn on the light source 4 for sensitivity compensation and also starts a timer circuit 6. Light from the light source 4 is photodetected directly by a photodetecting element 2 and photodetecting element 3 for sensitivity compensation and amplified by amplifiers 9 and 10, then a dividing circuit 11 calculates and stores the ratio in memory 12. The light source driving circuit 8 is driven after a fixed time counted by the timer circuit 6 to allow a light source 1 for smoke sensing to emit light. The light from the light source 1 is photodetected directly by the photodetecting element 3 for sensitivity compensation and if there is smoke at a smoke sensing part E (hatched in figure), scattered light from it is photodetected by a photodetecting element 2 for smoke detection. In this case, two photodetecting element signals are amplified and the dividing circuit 11 calculates their ratio as well. This ratio is sent to a dividing circuit 14 together with the former ratio stored in the memory 12.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention includes a light source for smoke detection, and a light receiving element for smoke detection that is disposed at a position where the north light from the source does not directly enter and detects light scattered from the light source by smoke. A smoke detector comprising: a sensitivity compensation light receiving element that directly detects light from the light source; and a sensitivity compensation light source that emits light that is directly incident on both of the light receiving elements. Using such a sensor, measure the ratio of the amount of light received by both light-receiving elements by the light source for sensitivity compensation, then measure the ratio of the amount of light received by both light-receiving elements by the light source for smoke detection, and then measure the ratio of the amount of light received by the former and the latter. If the alarm device is configured to operate when the value of this ratio exceeds a predetermined value, the alarm sensitivity of the sensor will be reduced based on changes in the light source, dirt on the windows of the light source and light receiving element, changes in the sensitivity of the light receiving element, etc. It is possible to provide a smoke detection device in which changes are completely eliminated and the sensor always operates at the correct smoke concentration.
