Various devices have been proposed to detect abnormalities such as gas leaks and issue alarms, but most of them use DC amplifiers.
Offset adjustment is required, and therefore time is required for offset adjustment.Furthermore, due to adjustment errors, etc., the gas concentration that should be alarmed may deviate greatly, and an alarm may not be issued even if the alarm limit is exceeded. There were some shortcomings. Additionally, a variable resistor is used for offset adjustment, but this variable resistor has problems with its aging characteristics, shock resistance, gas resistance, etc., and to solve these problems, a sealed variable resistor is used. However, it also had drawbacks such as increasing costs.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes, for example, a commercial AC power source, and its output voltage (see FIG. 2a) is applied between the anode and cathode of a thyristor 6 through an alarm 7 such as a buzzer. In addition, this AC power supply 1
The voltage is stepped down to a desired level of voltage through a transformer 2 and supplied to a full-wave rectifier circuit 3 and an AC bridge circuit 4. The output voltage of the full-wave rectifier circuit 3 (see Figure 2b) is used as a power source for the operational amplifier 5, and is divided by resistors R1 and R2 and supplied to one input terminal of the inverting operational amplifier 5. be done. On the other hand, the AC bridge circuit 4 includes a gas sensing element D whose electrical resistance changes when it comes into contact with a flammable gas such as gas on at least one side, and a temperature compensation element for the gas sensing element D on the other side. Element C is connected. This AC bridge circuit 4 is unbalanced when there is no flammable gas in the air, that is, in a normal state, and when there is a flammable gas in the air, that is, in an abnormal state, it gradually approaches an equilibrium state as the gas concentration increases. The configuration is such that when the concentration increases further and the AC bridge circuit 4 passes through an equilibrium point, the phase of its output voltage is reversed by 180°. The output signal from this AC bridge circuit 4 is supplied to the other input terminal of the operational amplifier 5 through the DC blocking capacitor C1 .
One output terminal b of the AC bridge circuit 4 is a resistor.
Since the potential is kept common to the potential at the connection point between R 1 and R 2 , the input signal to the operational amplifier 5 increases or decreases around the reference potential divided by the resistors R 1 and R 2 . Therefore, the input signal to the operational amplifier 5 has a signal waveform as shown in FIG. 2c when the AC bridge circuit 4 is not in normal state, and as shown in FIG. 2d when it passes the equilibrium point in an abnormal state. With such a signal waveform, the output signals of the operational amplifier 5 become as shown in FIG. 2e and f, respectively.

Since the amplification degree of the operational amplifier 5 determined by the capacitor C 1 and the resistor R 1 is set to be sufficiently large,
The output signal is saturated and has a waveform dominated by the output voltage of the full-wave rectifier circuit 3 (FIG. 2b), which is the voltage applied to the operational amplifier 5. In this embodiment, a smoothing circuit is not used for the output of the full-wave rectifier circuit 3, but this is for the purpose of downsizing the device and reducing costs. Of course, a smoothing circuit may be used, and in that case, the waveform of the output signal of the operational amplifier 5 will be a rectangular wave.

The output signal voltage of this operational amplifier 5 is connected to the resistor R3 .
When the divided voltage is applied to the control electrode of the thyristor 6, the voltage between the anode and cathode and the control signal voltage are opposite in phase during normal operation, so the thyristor 6 does not conduct, and when abnormal Since the voltage of the load circuit and the voltage of the control circuit match in phase, conduction occurs and the alarm 7 is activated. In addition, the capacitor
C 2 and C 3 are noise removal capacitors.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, since the operational amplifier is used as an AC amplifier, offset adjustment is not necessary.Therefore, the time required for offset adjustment is unnecessary and the troublesomeness thereof is eliminated. Moreover, there is no risk of malfunction due to offset adjustment errors. Furthermore, since there is no need for a variable resistor for offset adjustment, there is an advantage of being freed from various measures such as aging characteristics, impact resistance, gas resistance, etc. of the variable resistor for offset adjustment, which had many problems in the past. be.

Furthermore, when an abnormality occurs, the phase of the output voltage of the AC bridge circuit is opposite to the phase of the output voltage during normal operation, and a control signal having the same phase as the voltage between the anode and cathode of the thyristor is sent to make the thyristor conductive. , which activates the alarm, has the advantage of being able to operate stably with a simple circuit.
