Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire alarm devices, and more specifically to an infrared fire alarm button. Background Art
[0002] Fire alarms are usually installed in places where people frequently visit, such as walkways and stairwells. When a fire occurs, they can sound an alarm and flash lights to alert people on site. Fire alarms include automatic detection fire alarms and manual fire alarms to meet the operational requirements of different alarm scenarios. Automatic detection fire alarms can automatically detect smoke and issue an alarm. Manual fire alarms are generally used in conjunction with manual fire alarm buttons, which help people press the manual fire alarm button in time when they discover a fire, and then use the corresponding alarm device to issue a fire alarm prompt or call for help. Currently, manual fire alarm buttons on the market mainly use pure mechanical switches or contact-type metal shrapnel to achieve triggering and operation control. Pure mechanical switches are used in daily environments, and the mechanical materials in them are easily aged and damaged. Contact-type metal shrapnel is used in daily environments, and the metal shrapnel is easily corroded, resulting in poor contact. Both of these structural products are prone to product failure during use, posing a significant alarm hazard or risk in the event of a fire. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the embodiments described are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] The present utility model is implemented as follows Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, an infrared fire alarm button includes a shell 1, a PCB board 2 and an action window 3 are provided in the shell 1, the action window 3 is located above the PCB board 2, and a window 101 corresponding to the action window 3 is provided on the upper side of the shell 1, and the action window 3 is blocked at the window 101; an infrared transmitter 4 and an infrared receiver 5 are provided on the upper side of the PCB board 2, and the transmitting end of the infrared transmitter 4 is opposite to the receiving end of the infrared receiver 5; a partition rib 31 is provided on the lower side of the action window 3, and after the action window 3 is pressed down into place, the partition rib 31 is placed between the infrared transmitter 4 and the infrared receiver 5, and the infrared connection between the infrared transmitter 4 and the infrared receiver 5 is blocked by the partition rib 31.
[0025] The housing 1 comprises an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12, with a window 101 provided in the upper shell 11. The infrared transmitter 4 and infrared receiver 5 are electrically connected to the PCB 2, respectively. The housing 1 has a cavity within it, and an action window 3 is provided within the cavity and located at the window 101, shielding the window 101 and facilitating the operator to press the action window 3 from the window 101. The infrared transmitter 4 and infrared receiver 5 are provided within the cavity, creating a dark chamber that facilitates infrared communication between the infrared transmitter 4 and infrared receiver 5. The PCB 2 should also be provided with a controller (not shown in the drawings) electrically connected to the infrared transmitter 4 and infrared receiver 5. The controller (not shown in the drawings) can be, for example, a main control MCU. In the event of a fire, pressing the action window 3 blocks the infrared connection between the infrared transmitter 4 and infrared receiver 5 via the partition rib 31. At this point, when the controller (not shown in the drawings) detects that the infrared connection between the infrared transmitter 4 and infrared receiver 5 has been disconnected, it can further control the corresponding alarm device (not shown in the drawings) to issue an alarm. The infrared transmitter 4 and the infrared receiver 5 have high reliability and long service life, and can effectively improve the performance and service life of the product.
[0026] It should be noted that the infrared fire alarm button of this embodiment can be integrated with the corresponding alarm device (not shown in the drawings) or provided separately. In actual application, the design and selection can be based on the actual application requirements, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment. The structure of the corresponding alarm device (not shown in the drawings) is not shown in the drawings. In actual application, any existing suitable alarm device (not shown in the drawings) can be used to achieve the sound and / or flash alarm function, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0027] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is further provided with a cover plate 6, positioned between the PCB 2 and the operating window 3. The cover plate 6 is larger than both the PCB 2 and the operating window 3. The cover plate 6 is provided with a slot, with vertically downwardly extending partitions at the front and rear edges of the slot. A receiving cavity is formed between the partitions and the slot. Within the receiving cavity are two spaced-apart housings 61, each with its top portion projecting upward and positioned outside the receiving cavity. Both housings 61 are hollow and have open bottoms, with their bottoms aligned with the bottoms of the partitions. Opposing apertures 601 are provided on the upper sides of opposing sides of the two housings 61. The infrared transmitter 4 and the infrared receiver 5 are positioned within the respective housings 61, with the transmitting end of the infrared transmitter 4 and the receiving end of the infrared receiver 5 correspondingly aligned through the two opposing apertures 601. Two first elastic support arms 32 are spaced apart on the rear side of the action window 3. The rear ends of the two first elastic support arms 32 are located on the upper side of the cover plate 6. The two first elastic support arms 32 provide a pressing support force for the action window 3. The provision of the cover plate 6 effectively protects the infrared emitter 4 and infrared receiver 5, ensuring a good seal in the key detection area and improving the stability and reliability of the infrared emitter 4 and infrared receiver 5.
[0028] In other embodiments, an opaque elastic seal (not shown in the drawings) is further provided between the opposing sides of the two housings 61 at a position above the cover plate 6. The opaque elastic seal (not shown in the drawings) seals the corresponding radiating holes 601 on the two housings 61 and the slot between the two housings 61. When the action window 3 is pressed, the opaque elastic seal (not shown in the drawings) is deformed by the partition rib 31, thereby achieving a change in the infrared detection state. While ensuring a partitioning effect, it also provides better protection for the infrared emitter 4 and the infrared receiver 5. The opaque elastic seal (not shown in the drawings) can be, for example, a housing structure made of black rubber material, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment as long as it can achieve a sealing effect.
[0029] Specifically, the rear ends of the two first elastic support arms 32 are each provided with a first protrusion 320 on their oppositely facing outer surfaces. Two corresponding second protrusions 62 are also provided at the rearward position of the upper side of the cover plate 6. Correspondingly, the two second protrusions 62 are spaced apart from each other. The two second protrusions 62 are each provided with a through slot 620 for the two first protrusions 320 to engage with. The two first protrusions 320 are correspondingly installed in the two through slots 620, achieving a detachable connection between the action window 3 and the cover plate 6, facilitating assembly and use.
[0030] In this embodiment, the first elastic support arm 32 includes a first arm 321, a second arm 322, and a third arm 323. The first arm 321, the second arm 322, and the third arm 323 are integrally connected in sequence from front to back. The second arm 322 is tilted, and the first and third arms 321, 323 are parallel to each other. The angles formed between the second arm 322, the first arm 321, and the third arm 323 are all obtuse. The front end of the first arm 321 is positioned on the rear side of the operating window 3. The first protrusion 320 is positioned on the outer side of the rear end of the third arm 323 for insertion into the through-slot 620, allowing the rear end of the third arm 323 to pass through the first protrusion 320 and into the corresponding position on the cover plate 6. The spacing between the two cover shells 61 is sufficient to allow the partition rib 31 to be inserted, thereby blocking the infrared connection between the infrared transmitter 4 and the infrared receiver 5.
[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a positioning block 33 is provided at the central position of the front side of the action window 3, and a snap block 63 that engages with the positioning block 33 is correspondingly provided at the front position of the upper side of the cover plate 6. The snap block 63 is connected to the cover plate 6 via a second elastic support arm 631. The second elastic support arm 631 provides the snap block 63 with a certain degree of displacement ability, and enables the snap block 63 to engage with the positioning block 33 and generate a pressing force. Among them, the upper side of the snap block 63 used to achieve the snapping is set as an inclined surface and the inclined surface faces backward, so that the positioning block 33 can be smoothly pressed down and pressed tightly underneath it. After the action window 3 is pressed down into place, the positioning block 33 presses tightly against the bottom of the snap block 63, and there is no need to press the action window 3 all the time, which is simple and convenient to operate.
[0032] In this embodiment, the action window 3 is further provided with two positioning holes 301 spaced apart from each other, and the upper side of the cover plate 6 is further provided with two positioning members that are correspondingly inserted into the two positioning holes 301. Specifically, the positioning members include a positioning column 71, a limiting plate 72, and a positioning seat 73. The positioning column 71 is cylindrical, the limiting plate 72 is rectangular, and the positioning seat 73 is in the shape of a regular triangular pyramid. The positioning column 71, the limiting plate 72, and the positioning seat 73 are integrally connected from top to bottom, and the central axis of the positioning column 71 coincides with the central axis of the positioning seat 73. The cover plate 6 is further provided with two hollow grooves 602 spaced apart from each other, and the two positioning seats 73 are correspondingly inserted into the two hollow grooves 602. The two limiting plates 72 are correspondingly attached to the upper side of the cover plate 6, and the two positioning columns 71 are correspondingly inserted into the two positioning holes 301 to prevent the action window 3 from moving during the downward pressing process.
[0033] In this embodiment, the upper side of the cover plate 6 is further provided with two third protrusions 64 spaced apart from each other. The two third protrusions 64 are correspondingly located behind the two hollow grooves 602 and close to the two second protrusions 62 respectively, so as to limit the degree of downward pressure of the action window 3.
[0034] The embodiment of the utility model adopts optical devices such as infrared transmitters and infrared receivers with good stability and reliability to obtain an infrared fire alarm button with good stability and reliability and a long service life. When used in daily environments, the product functions are effectively guaranteed and the hidden dangers and risks of alarm failure when a fire occurs can be effectively avoided.
[0035] It should be understood that ordinary technical workers in this field can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this utility model.
