Abstract

Abstract A photoelectric smoke sensing chamber in a smoke sensing blind box which comprises a cylindrical body having inner and outer walls with vertical openings with both ends of the cylindrical body closed, the chamber being characterized by inner and outer walls fixed into an annular base and upwardly extended to the ceiling of the cylindrical body; a support for a luminous element and a light receiving element, which support is sealingly fitted into the inner edge of the annular base; light shading projections radially extended from at least one portion of the inner surface in full length of each of the inner and outer shell members; and a scattered light weakening layer formed at least on the inner surface of the cylindrical body for weakening scattered light occurring due to the reflection of the beam from the luminous element. The smoke sensing chamber is capable of preventing scattered light from entering the same from the outside, weakening the reflection and scattering of the beam from the luminous element in the chamber, maintaining a high smoke sensing ability, reducing the consumption of electric power, and preventing an erroneous alarm from being given.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A photoelectric smoke sensing chamber in a smoke sensing blind box which comprises a cylindrical body having inner and outer walls with vertical openings with both ends of the cylindrical body closed, said chamber being characterized by inner and outer shell members which constitute the inner and outer walls fixed into an annular base and upwardly extended to the ceiling of the cylindrical body; a support for a luminous element and a light receiving element, which support is sealingly fitted into the inner edge of said annular base; light shading projections radially extended from at least one portion of the inner surface in full length of each of said inner and outer shell members; and a scattered light weakening layer formed at least on the inner surface of the cylindrical body for weakening scattered light occurring due to the reflection of the beam from said luminous element.
