Title: Optical smoke detector
Inventor: Jason Martyn Crick
IPC: G08B29/28
Filed: 2019-08-16
Abstract: A smoke detector comprises a base 130, housing 140, and light directing means 150. A light source 160 directs light through openings 230a-c via a prism 270 and lens 280 across the field of view of sensor 170. Baffles 250a, 250b are provided in the line of sight of the light source 160 and the sensor 170 and are arranged to provide a quiescent light directing means through the housing 140. The quiescent light directing means is configured to direct quiescent light indirectly towards sensor 170 via a quiescent light path (165,fig.4 & 165,fig.6). A vertical protrusion 190 is provided to prevent a portion of the light beam emitted from entering the region directly above the field of view of the sensor 170. This obstruction of light makes the sensor less vulnerable to false alarms caused by foreign bodies around the opening 230c. The quiescent light may be used to confirm operation of the detector and determine a level of contamination of the sensor directly across or on the sensor. The gain or baseline of the sensor may be adjusted to compensate for drift due to contamination of the sensor.
