Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of smoke alarm technology, and more specifically, to a dual-wavelength smoke detector calibration method and system. Background Technology

[0002] In order to increase the anti-interference capability of photoelectric smoke detectors and reduce false alarms, existing technologies have evolved from single red wavelength photoelectric smoke detectors to red and blue dual wavelength smoke detectors. The anti-interference capability of the equipment has been significantly increased and false alarms have been significantly reduced. However, this has also led to increased power consumption and the inability of a single photoelectric receiver to simultaneously meet the photoelectric conversion range of red and blue emission.

[0003] Traditional solutions involve increasing procurement costs to ensure a manageable yield rate, while other solutions aim for a low yield rate. However, both of these solutions suffer from high equipment power consumption and high costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual-wavelength smoke detection calibration method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a dual-wavelength smoke detector calibration method and system that overcomes or at least partially solves the above-mentioned problems. According to a first aspect of this invention, a dual-wavelength smoke detector calibration method is provided, comprising:

[0006] Based on the red light emitting tube, the phototube is dynamically self-calibrated;

[0007] If the dynamic self-calibration is successful, the emission current of the blue LED tube is calibrated using the calibration value;

[0008] Once the emission currents of both the red and blue photodiodes are calibrated, the red photodiode is used to weight the blue photodiode to reduce the power consumption of the device.

[0009] The dynamic self-calibration of the phototube based on the red light emitting tube includes:

[0010]

[0011] m is the smoke concentration, m = 0 or M, I ∈ (I min ,I max V min <f(m,I)<V max vi,V m <V g ∈(V min V max ).

[0012] The dynamic self-calibration process includes:

[0013] When m takes the value 0, the obtained value f(0, I) is less than V. m Greater than 0;

[0014] m takes the value M, and the obtained value is f(M, I). If f(M, I) is not equal to V... g Then increase I until f(M, I) equals V. g ;

[0015] When all of the above conditions are met, self-calibration is completed.

[0016] If the dynamic self-calibration is successful, the emission current of the blue LED is calibrated using the calibration value, including:

[0017]

[0018] TH = f(m, I) b ) / f(m,I)

[0019] TH represents the calibration value, V b i is the photoelectric conversion value of the photodetector when the blue phototube emits light; I b ∈(I bmin I bmax ), I bmin I bmax It is the intensity value of the light emitted by the blue phototube, and a unique I is selected. b Then the blue light current calibration is complete.

[0020] The method of using red light tubes to weighted activate blue light tubes to reduce device power consumption includes:

[0021] When the emitted value of the red phototube exceeds the preset threshold, the blue phototube is turned on. The threshold is f(x, I)*R, where R∈(0,1). R is an empirical value set according to the on-site environment, and f(x, I) is the value of the photoelectric receiver tube collected when the red phototube emits light during a fire alarm.

[0022] The dual-wavelength smoke detector calibration method provided in this invention can complete consistency calibration and improve yield rate through software without increasing any additional cost or power consumption, and significantly reduce equipment power consumption.

[0027] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a dual-wavelength smoke detector calibration method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0029] 101. Dynamic self-calibration of phototube based on red light emitting tube;

[0030] 102. If the dynamic self-calibration is successful, calibrate the emission current of the blue LED using the calibration value;

[0031] 103. After the emission currents of the red and blue photodiodes are calibrated, the red photodiode is used to weight the blue photodiode to reduce the power consumption of the device.

[0032] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the method execution flow provided in the embodiments of the present invention, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention actually requires dynamic self-calibration of the red phototube and current calibration of the blue phototube. On the basis that both calibrations are successful at the same time, the blue phototube is turned on in a weighted manner to form a low power consumption state for the device to operate.

[0033] Specifically, calibrating the emission current of the blue LED using calibration values ​​includes:

[0034]

[0035] m is the smoke concentration, m = 0 or M, I ∈ (I min ,I max V min <f(m,I)<V max vi,V m <V g ∈(V min V max ).

[0036] Assume the red phototube emits a current of I in a smoke-free environment. m When the voltage collected by the receiving tube is Vm, and the smoke chamber is in an environment with a smoke concentration of M, the transmitting current I is used. n The voltage collected by the transmitting and receiving tubes is V. g Among them, In It can be adjusted in increments of i. n =I m +i*n(I n <=I max ), I max I is the maximum current that the device can emit. min The minimum current required to power the infrared LED of the device.

[0037] Under the above conditions, the formula provided in this application can be used for dynamic self-calibration.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the dynamic self-calibration process includes:

[0039] When m takes the value 0, the obtained value f(0, I) is less than V. m Greater than 0;

[0040] m takes the value M, and the obtained value is f(M, I). If f(M, I) is not equal to V... g Then increase I until f(M, I) equals V. g ;

[0041] When all of the above conditions are met, self-calibration is completed.

[0042] Specifically, two conditions must be met simultaneously for self-calibration to be considered complete: when m is 0, record I∈I. n The obtained value f(0, I) should be less than V. m And it is greater than 0, which is condition 1;

[0043] When m takes the value M, record the value f(M, I) obtained by I ∈ In. If the value of f(M, I) is not V at this time... g Increasing I makes the photoelectric conversion value f(M, I) equal to V. g This is condition 2.

[0044] Re-execute condition 1 to ensure that the value of f(M, I) satisfies both conditions 1 and 2 before the self-calibration of the red phototube is considered complete.

[0045] Based on the above embodiments, if the dynamic self-calibration is successful, the smoke detection threshold is calibrated based on the dynamic self-calibration result, including:

[0046]

[0047] TH = f(m, I) b ) / f(m,I)

[0048] TH represents the calibration value, V b i is the photoelectric conversion value of the photodetector when the blue phototube emits light; Ib ∈(I bmin I bmax ), I bmin I bmax It is the intensity value of the light emitted by the blue phototube, and a unique I is selected. b The threshold calibration is then complete.

[0049] After the red light calibration is completed, the blue light current needs to be calibrated. TH is the calibration value, which is related to the structure of the smoke chamber and the selection of the photoelectric pair tube, and is a constant value. V b i represents the photoelectric conversion value of the photodetector when the blue phototube emits light.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments, the method of reducing device power consumption by using red light tubes to weighted activate blue light tubes includes:

[0051] When the emitted value of the red phototube exceeds the preset threshold, the blue phototube is turned on. The threshold is f(x, I)*R, where R∈(0,1). R is an empirical value set according to the on-site environment, and f(x, I) is the value of the photoelectric receiver tube collected when the red phototube emits light during a fire alarm.

[0052] Because blue light requires a higher activation voltage, the power consumption of a dual-wavelength smoke detector is equivalent to that of two single-wavelength devices. This invention utilizes the value collected by the photodetector when the red phototube emits light to set a range; the blue light tube is only activated when the value reaches the specified range, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the device.

[0053] The specific approach is to assume the value is f(x, I), and turn on the blue light when the threshold exceeds f(x, I)*R, where R∈(0,1). The value of R is an empirical value set according to the on-site environment, and f(x, I) is the value of the photoelectric receiver tube collected when the red light photoelectric tube emits light when a fire alarm occurs.

[0054] The method provided in this invention can effectively reduce power consumption without affecting performance. R is called the weighted value for turning on the blue phototube, so this invention can also be called a weighted turn-on method.

Figure 3 As shown, it includes: a dynamic self-calibration module 301, a threshold calibration module 302, and a weighted enabling module 303, wherein:

[0056] The dynamic self-calibration module 301 is used to perform dynamic self-calibration of the phototube based on the red light emitting tube.

[0057] The threshold calibration module 302 is used to calibrate the emission current of the blue light tube using the calibration value if the dynamic self-calibration is successful.

[0058] The weighted activation module 303 is used to reduce the power consumption of the device by weighting the activation of the blue light tube with the red light tube after the emission current of the red and blue light tubes has been calibrated.
