 次に、内カバー2を、検煙部カバー3等が取り付けられている端子盤63の正面側(図6の図面上側)から当該端子盤63に任意の手法(例えば、各構成要素に設けられている係合構造を利用する手法等)で取り付ける。なお、この場合、検出素子700の一部は、内カバー2の第2開口部22(図12)に挿通されて、図1に示すように、内カバー2から正面側に向かって突出することになる。 Next, the inner cover 2 is attached to the terminal board 63 from the front side (the upper side of the drawing in FIG. 6) of the terminal board 63 to which the smoke detection section cover 3 and the like are attached. (e.g., a method that uses an engagement structure that is In this case, part of the detection element 700 is inserted through the second opening 22 (FIG. 12) of the inner cover 2 and protrudes from the inner cover 2 toward the front side as shown in FIG. become.
 次に、防虫網61を、内カバー2の第1開口部21に設ける。 Next, an insect screen 61 is provided on the first opening 21 of the inner cover 2 .
 次に、外カバー1を、内カバー2等が取り付けられている端子盤63の正面側(図6の図面上側)から当該端子盤63に任意の手法(例えば、各構成要素に設けられている係合構造を利用する手法等)で取り付ける。なお、この場合、図1に示すように、外カバー1のラビリンス部15は、内カバー2の突出部23に当接することになる。また、ラビリンス部15の区画壁151の一部(図11において、外カバー1の中心で十字に交差している交差部分)によって、前述の防虫網61が押さえられて当該防虫網61が感知器100に固定されることになる。このようにして、図1~図4に示す感知器100の組み立てが完了する。 Next, the outer cover 1 is attached to the terminal board 63 from the front side (the upper side of the drawing in FIG. 6) of the terminal board 63 to which the inner cover 2 and the like are attached by an arbitrary method (for example, method using an engagement structure, etc.). In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the labyrinth portion 15 of the outer cover 1 comes into contact with the projecting portion 23 of the inner cover 2. As shown in FIG. A part of the partition wall 151 of the labyrinth part 15 (in FIG. 11, the intersection crossing the center of the outer cover 1 in a crisscross pattern) presses the insect screen 61 described above, and the insect screen 61 becomes a sensor. It will be fixed at 100. Thus, the assembly of the sensor 100 shown in FIGS. 1-4 is completed.
(出射光の経路(内乱光の処理))
 次に、発光部71から出射された出射光の経路について説明する。すなわち、各反射部による内乱光の処理について説明する。発光部71からの出射光は、図29及び図30に矢印A1~A6で示すように例えば、第1反射部401及び第4反射部404に対して直接照射され、第2反射部402及び受光部72へは直接は照射されない。なお、「直接照射される」とは、反射又は散乱されずに直接的に照射されることを示す概念である。
(Path of emitted light (treatment of disturbance light))
Next, the path of emitted light emitted from the light emitting section 71 will be described. That is, the processing of the internal disturbance light by each reflector will be described. The emitted light from the light emitting part 71 is directly irradiated to, for example, the first reflecting part 401 and the fourth reflecting part 404 as indicated by arrows A1 to A6 in FIGS. The portion 72 is not directly irradiated. Note that "directly irradiated" is a concept indicating direct irradiation without being reflected or scattered.
(出射光の経路-第1反射部に直接照射された出射光)
 そして、図29に示すように、第1反射部401に直接照射された出射光の一部は、矢印A2及びA4で示されるように、第1壁部41及び第2壁部42の相互間、又は第2壁部42及び第3壁部43の相互間に捕捉されて、他の反射部及び受光部72には反射されないことになる。
(Path of emitted light - emitted light directly irradiated to the first reflecting part)
Then, as shown in FIG. 29, part of the emitted light that is directly applied to the first reflecting portion 401 is reflected between the first wall portion 41 and the second wall portion 42 as indicated by arrows A2 and A4. , or are caught between the second wall portion 42 and the third wall portion 43 and are not reflected by the other reflecting portion and the light receiving portion 72 .
 また、第1反射部401に直接照射された出射光の他の一部は、矢印A1及びA3で示されるように、第1壁部41又は第2壁部42にて第3反射部403に向けて拡散しつつ反射される。この後、当該反射された出射光は、第3反射部403で捕捉、又は、第1反射部401に反射されて、第2反射部402、第4反射部404、及び受光部72には反射されないことになる。 In addition, another part of the emitted light that is directly applied to the first reflecting section 401 is reflected by the first wall section 41 or the second wall section 42 to the third reflecting section 403 as indicated by arrows A1 and A3. It is reflected while diffusing toward it. After that, the reflected emitted light is captured by the third reflecting section 403 or reflected by the first reflecting section 401 and reflected by the second reflecting section 402, the fourth reflecting section 404, and the light receiving section 72. It will not be done.
(出射光の経路-第4反射部に直接照射された出射光)
 また、図30に示すように、第4反射部404に直接照射された出射光の一部は、矢印A6で示されるように、第4反射部404を形成する調整部48の溝部に捕捉されて、他の反射部及び受光部72には反射されないことになる。
(Path of emitted light - emitted light directly irradiated to the fourth reflecting section)
Further, as shown in FIG. 30, part of the emitted light that is directly applied to the fourth reflecting portion 404 is captured by the groove portion of the adjusting portion 48 that forms the fourth reflecting portion 404, as indicated by an arrow A6. Therefore, the light is not reflected by other reflecting portions and the light receiving portion 72 .
 また、第4反射部404に直接照射された出射光の他の一部は、矢印A5で示されるように、第4反射部404を形成する調整部48の山部の頂部にて第2反射部402に向けて拡散しつつ反射される。この後、当該反射された出射光は、第2反射部402の第3壁部43にて受光部72に向けて拡散しつつ反射される。 Another part of the emitted light that is directly applied to the fourth reflecting section 404 is secondly reflected at the top of the mountain portion of the adjusting section 48 that forms the fourth reflecting section 404, as indicated by an arrow A5. The light is diffused and reflected toward the portion 402 . Thereafter, the reflected emitted light is diffused and reflected toward the light receiving portion 72 by the third wall portion 43 of the second reflecting portion 402 .
 すなわち、この場合、発光部71から出射された後に複数回反射されて拡散されることにより光量が比較的小さくなった出射光が、受光部72にて受光されることになる。なお、ここでの光量については、煙粒子による散乱光の光量よりも十分小さくなっており当該散乱光の光量とは識別可能となっているために、所定周期で発光部71から出射光を出射し、当該出射したタイミングに対応するタイミングで前述の光量が比較的小さくなった出射光を受光部72で受光できたか否かに基づいて、感知器100が正常に動作しているか否かを確認することが可能となる。 That is, in this case, the emitted light, which has been emitted from the light emitting portion 71 and is reflected and diffused multiple times to have a relatively small amount of light, is received by the light receiving portion 72 . Note that the amount of light here is sufficiently smaller than the amount of light scattered by the smoke particles, and can be distinguished from the amount of scattered light. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the sensor 100 is operating normally based on whether or not the light receiving unit 72 can receive the above-described emitted light with a relatively small amount of light at the timing corresponding to the emitted timing. It becomes possible to
(出射光の経路-検煙部ベース側)
 また、出射光の一部が検出空間300内で検煙部ベース5に照射されることも想定されるが、この場合、検煙部ベース5に減衰部53(図23)が設けられているので、この減衰部53にてこの照射された出射光を減衰させることができ、感知器100を正常に動作させることが可能となる。
(Outgoing light path - smoke detector base side)
It is also assumed that part of the emitted light is irradiated to the smoke detector base 5 within the detection space 300. In this case, the smoke detector base 5 is provided with an attenuator 53 (FIG. 23). Therefore, the attenuating portion 53 can attenuate the emitted light, and the sensor 100 can be operated normally.
 なお、感知器100が、図1に示すように天井900に設置されている場合、検煙部ベース5の減衰部53は、図23に示すように例えば、垂直方向において下向きに向けられるので、減衰部53の溝部に塵埃等が堆積することを防止し、当該塵埃等による乱反射発生を防止することが可能となる。 When the sensor 100 is installed on the ceiling 900 as shown in FIG. 1, the damping section 53 of the smoke detector base 5 is oriented vertically downward as shown in FIG. It is possible to prevent dust and the like from accumulating in the groove portion of the attenuation portion 53 and prevent the occurrence of irregular reflection due to the dust and the like.
(外乱光の入射防止)
 次に、外乱光の入射防止について説明する。図1において、感知器100の外部の外乱光は、ラビリンス部15の複数の区画壁151(図11)によって遮られることになるので、検煙部カバー3の開口部31を介する検出空間300の内部へ外乱光の入射が防止されることになる。
(Prevention of incidence of disturbance light)
Next, prevention of incident disturbance light will be described. In FIG. 1, ambient light outside the sensor 100 is blocked by the plurality of partition walls 151 (FIG. 11) of the labyrinth section 15, so that the detection space 300 passes through the opening 31 of the smoke detection section cover 3. This prevents disturbance light from entering the interior.
(熱気流の供給)
 次に、監視領域で火災が発生した場合に生じる煙粒子を含む熱気流の、感知器100への供給について説明する。
(supply of hot air)
The supply of a hot air stream containing smoke particles to the sensor 100 will now be described, which would occur if a fire were to occur in the monitored area.
 まず、図1において、監視領域で発生した熱気流は、外カバー1の開口部14を介して、外カバー1の内部に流入する。 First, in FIG. 1, the hot airflow generated in the monitoring area flows into the outer cover 1 through the opening 14 of the outer cover 1 .
 次に、流入した熱気流の一部は、段部231の外周壁に沿って検出素子700に供給される。また、流入した熱気流の他の一部は、ラビリンス部15の複数の区画壁151の相互間の間隙152(図11)を介して、感知器100の外周側から内側へ供給され、内カバー2の第1開口部21、及び検煙部カバー3の開口部31を介して、検出空間300に流入する。特に、内カバー2の第1開口部21には防虫網61(図6)が設けられているので、熱気流は、この防虫網61の複数の小孔(不図示)を介して、検出空間300に流入する。 Next, part of the hot airflow that has flowed in is supplied to the detection element 700 along the outer peripheral wall of the stepped portion 231 . Another part of the inflowing hot airflow is supplied from the outer peripheral side of the sensor 100 to the inside through the gaps 152 (FIG. 11) between the plurality of partition walls 151 of the labyrinth part 15, and is supplied to the inner cover. 2 and the opening 31 of the smoke detector cover 3 into the detection space 300 . In particular, since the first opening 21 of the inner cover 2 is provided with an insect screen 61 (FIG. 6), the hot airflow passes through a plurality of small holes (not shown) of the insect screen 61 and passes through the detection space. Flow into 300.
 ここで、内カバー2の第1開口部21及び検煙部カバー3の開口部31が円形となっているので、熱気流の流入方向に対する流入特性のばらつきが比較的小さく抑えられるために、検出空間300に対してあらゆる方向からの熱気流を確実に流入させることが可能となる。 Here, since the first opening 21 of the inner cover 2 and the opening 31 of the smoke detector cover 3 are circular, variations in the inflow characteristics with respect to the inflow direction of the hot air flow can be suppressed relatively small. It is possible to reliably allow hot airflow to flow into the space 300 from all directions.
(火災検出の動作)
 次に、感知器100による火災検出の動作について説明する。感知器100は、例えば、受光部72で受光した光の光量、又は、検出素子700で検出した熱気流の温度に基づいて火災を検出する動作を行うが、この動作は、公知の動作を適用することができるので、概要のみ説明する。
(fire detection operation)
Next, the operation of fire detection by the sensor 100 will be described. The sensor 100 detects a fire based on the amount of light received by the light receiving unit 72 or the temperature of the hot air current detected by the detection element 700, for example. can be done, so only an overview will be given.
(火災検出の動作-火災を検出しない場合)
 例えば、監視領域で火災が発生していない場合、図28の検出空間300には煙粒子を含む熱気流が流入しないので、発光部71から出射された後に第4反射部404及び第2反射部402で反射されて照射された比較的小さい光量の光を受光部72が受光することになる。この場合、感知器100は、火災を検出しない。
(Action of fire detection - when no fire is detected)
For example, when there is no fire in the monitoring area, the hot air current containing smoke particles does not flow into the detection space 300 of FIG. The light receiving section 72 receives a relatively small amount of light reflected by the light 402 and irradiated. In this case, the detector 100 will not detect fire.
 また、煙粒子を含む熱気流が検出素子700に供給されないので、検出素子700が検出した温度は常温レベルとなる。この場合、感知器100は、火災を検出しない。 Also, since no hot air current containing smoke particles is supplied to the detection element 700, the temperature detected by the detection element 700 is at the room temperature level. In this case, the detector 100 will not detect fire.
(火災検出の動作-火災を検出する場合)
 一方、例えば、監視領域で火災が発生した場合、図28の検出空間300には煙粒子を含む熱気流が流入するので、発光部71から出射された光が煙粒子に照射されて、比較的大きな光量の散乱光が発生して、当該散乱光を受光部72が受光することになる。この場合、感知器100は、火災を検出する。
(Fire Detection Operation - When Detecting Fire)
On the other hand, for example, when a fire breaks out in the monitoring area, a hot air flow containing smoke particles flows into the detection space 300 of FIG. A large amount of scattered light is generated, and the light receiving section 72 receives the scattered light. In this case, the detector 100 detects fire.
 また、例えば、煙粒子を含む熱気流が検出素子700に供給され、検出素子700が検出した温度が所定レベルまで上昇することになる。この場合、感知器100は、火災を検出する。 Also, for example, a hot air current containing smoke particles is supplied to the detection element 700, and the temperature detected by the detection element 700 rises to a predetermined level. In this case, the detector 100 detects fire.
 なお、ここで説明した火災検出の動作は例示であり限定されるものではなく、より詳細には、以下の動作を行うように構成してもよい。 Note that the fire detection operation described here is an example and is not limited. More specifically, the following operations may be performed.
 例えば、受光部72が比較的大きな光量を受光し、且つ、検出素子700が検出した温度が所定レベルまで上昇した場合に火災を検出するように構成してもよいし、あるいは、受光部72が比較的大きな光量を受光した場合に、検出素子700が検出した温度に関わらず、火災を検出するように構成してもよい。 For example, the light receiving unit 72 may be configured to detect a fire when the light receiving unit 72 receives a relatively large amount of light and the temperature detected by the detecting element 700 rises to a predetermined level. It may be configured to detect a fire regardless of the temperature detected by the detection element 700 when a relatively large amount of light is received.
(実施の形態の効果)
 このように実施の形態によれば、出射光が照射された場合に受光部72に向けて出射光を反射しない第1反射部401と、出射光が照射された場合に受光部72に向けて出射光を反射する第2反射部402と、を備えており、発光部71からの出射光は、第1反射部401に直接照射され、発光部71からの出射光は、第2反射部402に直接照射されないことにより、例えば、発光部71からの出射光が第2反射部402に直接照射されて当該出射光が受光部72に照射されることを防止することができるので、検出空間300に出射される光を適切に処理することが可能となる。例えば、火災に起因する煙粒子によって出射光が散乱されて生じる散乱光以外の比較的光量が大きな光を受光部72が受光することを防止することができるので、火災の検出精度を向上させることが可能となる。
(Effect of Embodiment)
As described above, according to the embodiment, the first reflecting portion 401 that does not reflect the emitted light toward the light receiving portion 72 when the emitted light is irradiated, and the first reflecting portion 401 that reflects the emitted light toward the light receiving portion 72 when the emitted light is irradiated and a second reflecting portion 402 that reflects emitted light. For example, it is possible to prevent the emitted light from the light emitting unit 71 from directly irradiating the second reflecting unit 402 and the light receiving unit 72 from being irradiated with the emitted light. It is possible to appropriately process the light emitted to the . For example, it is possible to prevent the light receiving unit 72 from receiving light having a relatively large amount of light other than the scattered light generated by scattering emitted light by smoke particles caused by fire, thereby improving the fire detection accuracy. becomes possible.
 また、出射光が照射された場合に受光部72に向けて出射光を反射しない第3反射部403を備え、第1反射部401は発光部71から直接照射された出射光を第3反射部403に向けて反射することにより、例えば、第1反射部401に照射された出射光を拡散して減衰させることが可能となるので、散乱光以外の比較的光量が大きな光を受光部72が受光することを防止することが可能となる。 Further, the third reflecting portion 403 is provided so as not to reflect the emitted light toward the light receiving portion 72 when the emitted light is emitted. By reflecting toward 403, for example, it is possible to diffuse and attenuate the emitted light irradiated to the first reflecting section 401, so that the light receiving section 72 receives light other than the scattered light, which has a relatively large amount of light. It is possible to prevent the light from being received.
 また、第2反射部402は受光部72と対向する位置に設けられており、第1反射部401及び第3反射部403は第2反射部402の両側に各々設けられていることにより、例えば、検出空間300に出射される光を適切に処理することが可能となる。 Further, the second reflecting section 402 is provided at a position facing the light receiving section 72, and the first reflecting section 401 and the third reflecting section 403 are provided on both sides of the second reflecting section 402, respectively. , the light emitted into the detection space 300 can be properly processed.
 また、照射された一部の出射光を捕捉して受光部72及び第2反射部402へ反射せず、且つ、照射された他の一部の出射光を第2反射部402に向けて拡散しつつ反射する第4反射部404を備えることにより、例えば、散乱光以外の比較的光量が大きな光を受光部72が受光することを防止することができるので、火災の検出精度を向上させることが可能となる。また、比較的光量が小さな光を受光部72に受光させることができるので、当該光を利用して感知器100の動作確認を行うことが可能となる。 Also, part of the emitted light that is emitted is captured and is not reflected to the light receiving part 72 and the second reflecting part 402, and another part of the emitted light that is emitted is diffused toward the second reflecting part 402. By providing the fourth reflecting part 404 that reflects while reflecting, for example, it is possible to prevent the light receiving part 72 from receiving light with a relatively large amount of light other than scattered light, so that the fire detection accuracy can be improved. becomes possible. In addition, since light having a relatively small amount of light can be received by the light receiving section 72, it is possible to check the operation of the sensor 100 using the light.
