Definitions

  • An ionization chamber includes an ionizing element which, in combination with an electrical circuit, is so arranged that the electrical resistance of the chamber increases when smoke, or fire aerosols are detected; the sensor further includes an electrical circuit which has a first threshold detector responsive to a first threshold value of increase of resistance to permit generation of a warning signal, and a second threshold level with a second threshold detector, which responds upon exceeding of the second threshold level to provide an alarm signal different from the first warning signal arising at the first threshold level.
  • the warning signal is a constantly arising current
  • 'the alarm signal is a signal of varying intensity.
  • the present invention relates to an ionization-type fire alarm sensor, and more particularly to this type of sensor in which an ionizationchamber is provided in which a radioactive substance is located.
  • the electrical resistance of the ionization chamber rises when fire is sensed; the sensor further-includes an evaluation circuit including at least one threshold detector, as well as a alarm indicator.
  • Ionization type fire sensors in which a radioactive substance generates ions are so arranged that, upon application of an electric voltage between the electrodes of the ionization chambers, a current is generated which decreases upon penetration of smoke, or fire aerosols into the chamber. Decrease of ion current in the ionization chamber is detected by an electrical circuit which includes a threshold detector. Upon detection, an alarm circuit can be activated.
  • the ionization chamber is connected in series with a'resi'stance element, for example another ionization chamber which may be termed a reference ionization chamber since it is so constructed that it is substantially separated from ambient air, and thus not subject to smoke or fire aerosols.
  • the relative voltage drops across the ionization chambers are sensed and applied to a threshold detector, for example to a field effect transistor (FET). If the voltage drop across the sensing ionization chamber rises, due to increase in its resistance, then the threshold level of the PET is exceeded, it begins to become conductive, and provides a fire alarm signal.
  • a threshold detector for example to a field effect transistor (FET).
  • Known ionization-type fire sensors are connected to a signal central.
  • the increased FET current is conducted directly to the signal central, or over a further switching element, such as a relay, a SCR, or the like.
  • the signal central provides an alarm signal.
  • the sensor further includes, in its structure, or in its vicinity, an alarm indicator, such as a lamp or other illuminating device which permits an indication that a specific sensor has responded. This is of particular advantage when a plurality of sensors are connected, in parallel, over a common line to a signal central.
  • the signal central in such a case, can determine that one of the sen sorson the line was responded to give an alarm, but it isdifficult to determine which one of the sensors has responded. By checking the alarm indicators of the various sensors, the location of the responding sensor can be determined.
  • Known ionization fire sensors utilize electrical components with very high resistances.
  • the inherent or inner resistance of the ionization chamber is in the order of ohms.
  • the input resistance of the connected electrical circuit, particularly of the FET must be higher by an order of magnitude. To further increase sensitivity, and to decrease the activity of the slowly. In many instances it has been found that the voltage drop, in time, slowly approaches the alarm threshold level. An erroneous fire alarm may thus result.
  • the ionization fire alarm sensor has more than one threshold level.
  • a first, lowerthreshold detector is provided which, when a first lower threshold level of resistance is exceeded provides a pre-warning signal; when a second threshold level is exceeded, indicative of fire, or the like, then a second alarm signal, clearly distinguishable from the pre-warning signal is given.
  • the ionization fire sensor of the present invention has the advantage that an incipient fire provides, already in a very early stage, a pre-warning signal, before the real fire alarm signal is generated. A certain warning will thus be provided between the real fire alarm, and quiescent conditions. This warning time permits investigation whether, really, a fire is beginning, or
  • the pre-warning signal may be used, for example, to prepare an otherwise deactivated fire extinguishing system, thatis, to bring the system into a get ready state, the system itself being activated only when the final alarm signal, indicative of fire, is received.
  • an otherwise deactivated fire extinguishing system thatis, to bring the system into a get ready state, the system itself being activated only when the final alarm signal, indicative of fire, is received.
  • FIG. 1 is a highly schematic circuit diagram of an ionization-type fire sensor in accordance with the present invention
  • FIGS. 2a and 2b illustrate voltage and current characteristics useful in connection with the explanation of the operation of the device.
  • FIGS. 3-6 are schematic'circuit diagrams of various other embodiments of the invention.
  • a fire sensor D is connected by'means of lines 1, 2 to a signal central S.
  • the lines extend, as schematically shown by 'lines 1', 2', for parallel connection of further sensors,
  • Each sensor has an ionization chamber 3 which is 5 is connected in series with the chamber 3, 4, across lines 1, 2.
  • the voltage drop over ionization chamber 3, which varies, is applied to the control electrode 6 of PET 7, or an equivalent electronic element.
  • an entire integrated network may, for example, be used.
  • the source-drain path of the PET is connected with the series circuit of resistors 9, 10, and a light-emitting diode (LED) 11, the series circuit being likewise connected across lines 1, 2.
  • LED 11 may be a gallium arsenide, or a gallium phosphide diode, or may include other light-emitting material.
  • the input voltage that is, the voltage on gate electrode 6 of PET 7 is so controlled by means of resistor 5 that, under ordinary quiescent condition, the PET is blocked. Under such conditions, no fire has been sensed, there are no smoke or fire aerosols in the air penetrating into chamber 3.
  • Below an input voltage across the gate electrode 6 of FET 7, indicated as S (FIG. 211) no current will flow through LED 11.1f, however, the input voltage at the control electrode 6 rises above the warning level 8,, PET 7 becomes conductive and, depending on input voltage across lines 1, 2, current will flow through the FET 7.
  • the LED 11 becomes luminescent.
  • the brightness of LED 11 is a measure for the extent by which the voltage drop across ionization chamber 3 has exceeded the warning threshold level.
  • resistors 9 and 10 The junction point between resistors 9 and 10 is connected to the base of a further transistor 12, the emitter of which is connected over LED 11 to the supply line 2.
  • the collector is connected to the controlled resistor 5. If the current through the FET 7 and resistor 10 exceeds a predetermined threshold level I (FIG. 2b), corresponding to a threshold voltage S at the input 6 of the control electrode of the FET 7 (FIG. 2a) transistor 12 becomes conductive, which increases the voltage drop across resistor 5. The voltage at the gate electrode 6 of PET 7 increases, which causes a still further increase in current through transistor 12.
  • Resistor 5 thus has a dual function: first, it sets the first, or warning threshold level and, secondly, it acts as a feedback resistor to ensure that when the alarm threshold level S is reached, current through the sensor D rises abruptly and extensively. The circuit will then, also, be self holding; in other words, the sensor changes state to an alarm condition which cannot be terminated by reversion of the ionization chamber to its normal lower value.
  • Lines 1, 2, will thus, suddenly, have current flow therethrough of suddenly increased amplitude, which current is supplied by signal central S.
  • a current detector 13 (block A) is included in the signal central S which responds when such a current is detected, in order to provide an external alarm system (for example an alarm notification to a fire signalling station, an acoustical signal, optical indication or the like, or direct alarm to a fire department).
  • the current detector 13 further causes periodic changes in the supply voltage supplied to lines 1, 2, so that the LED 1 1 is supplied with a pulsed supply voltage and will flash in the same rhythm.
  • a suitable frequency is about 1 Hz.
  • the alarm central may have other circuits, for example voltage evaluation circuits and the like, as referred to in the cross referenced application Ser. No. 374,795 filed June 28, 1973, assigned to the assignee of the present application.
  • a Zener diode 14 is connected across lines 1, 2 to protect against over voltages and inverse polarity upon connection of the sensor to the lines 1, 2.
  • Resistor 15 forms, together with resistor 5, a voltage divider to ad- 5 just the bias on the gate control electrode 6 of PET 7.
  • the sensor changes suddenly into alarm condition and a highly increased alarm current 1,, will flow to the signal central S.
  • the signal central will thereupon command periodic dropping of the supply voltage, so that the LED 11 will blink, or flash, thus unambiguously indicating an alarm condition, and differentiating an alarm condition from a warning condition.
  • Embodiment of FIG. 3 The-drain electrode of PET 7 is connected over two LEDS 16, 17 and over a voltage divider formed by resistors 18, 19, to line 2.
  • the tap point of the voltage divider 18, 19, controls the base of transistor 12, the collector-emitter path of which is in parallel to the series circuit formed of the two ionization chambers 3, 4.
  • FET 7 becomes conductive, and both LEDs 16, 17 become luminescent.
  • transistor 12 will become conductive which switches the sensor into alarm condition, as in FIG. 1.
  • LED 17 will indicate if the fire sensor is in normal condition, warning condition or alarm condition.
  • the sensor further includes a photoresistor 21 which is in light receiving relationship to the light emitted from LED 16.
  • One terminal of the photoresistor 21 is connected to line 1, and the other terminal to a line 20, likewise supplied from signal central S.
  • the photoresistor is so arranged that it can be controlled only by light from LED 16. Under normal, quiescent condition when the diode does not emit light, photoresistor 21 has a very high dark resistance.
  • alarm indicator A indicates by a discrete signal if the sensor is under normal, warning or alarm conditions; additionally, the signal central can separately distinguish if one of the sensors connected thereto is in warning conditions or quiescent conditions, thus providing a remote indication.
  • This circuit may also use a plurality of ionization fire sensors, connected in parallel over lines 1, 2, and 20 to signal central S.
  • a single diode can be used, so located that its light can be used simultaneously for visual indication, as well as for optical transmission to the photoresistor 21.
  • the optical path to the photoresistor must, of course, be shielded against stray or extraneous illumination or light penetration.
  • Embodiment of FIG. 4 The warning signal is electrically indicated, the second LED 16 and photoresistor 21, and the optical path are eliminated. Rather, a resistor 19 is connected to third line 20 (instead of to line 2).
  • the warning relay W in the signal central will have current flowing therethrough, so that not only LED 17 in detector D will provide a warning signal but, additionally, a warning signal will appear at the signal central S. If the alarm threshold of the second transistor 12 is exceeded, transistor 12 becomes conductive and line 2 will have an alarm current flowing through signal central S which, as before, provides pulsed voltage supply to effect flashing of LED 17, and additionally provides an alarm output.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 require a three-wire circuit to provide separate alarm and warning indication.
  • the embodiment of FIG. provides discrete signals representative of warning condition and alarm conditions over two lines.
  • a third transistor 22 is provided, having a threshold below the alarm threshold level of the second transistor 12. Its base is controlled over the voltage divider formed by resistors 18, 19, 21, by the current of the FET 7.
  • a multivibrator oscillator is brought into oscillations.
  • the oscillator includes transistors 23, 24, capacitors 25, 26 and resistors 27, 28, 29, 30.
  • the multivibrator is of conventional construction, and coupled to transistor 22 over coupling resistor 31. Lines 1, 2, therefore will have a-c signals applied thereover when the warning threshold is exceeded.
  • the signals can be coded by suitable dimensioning or construction of the multivibrator.
  • transistor 12 When the alarm threshold is exceeded, however, transistor 12 will provide d-c over the lines 1, 2, to the signal central.
  • the signal central includes circuits which can distinguish between a-c components and d-c warning currents, by well known isolating and filtering networks. Two lines can thus carry, separately, a warning signal and alarm signal from a sensor to a signal central.
  • the lines may already be subject to a-c in the kiloHertz range, particularly in cases in which a plurality of sensors are connected,' in parallel, over a long line to the signal central, and continuity of the lines up to the last sensor is sensed by a terminating member 37, connected at the end of the line and providing pulsed output, or change of its internal resistance, in pulsed steps.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a circuit which still permits transmission of a warning signal, separate from an alarm signal over only two lines.
  • Third transistor 22 controls a controlled switching element 34, which may be a transistor, an SCR, or the like, over collector resistor 32, connected between supply lines 1 and 2, and a resistance 33.
  • the controlled switch 34 is connected in series with capacitor 35 which connects between lines 1 and 2.
