AI Technical Summary
Photoelectric smoke fire detectors are easily interfered with by external light, leading to false smoke alarms. Existing technologies make it difficult to effectively distinguish between light interference and smoke signals.
A microcontroller with preset first and second set values is used to detect the changes in the AD value of the receiving tube when the transmitting tube is turned on and off, so as to distinguish between the maze being exposed to strong light or being loosely closed and the smoke alarm. The transmitting tube and the receiving tube at different angles are used to form forward and backward light paths to reduce the impact of light interference.
It effectively distinguishes light interference and smoke signals, reduces false alarms, and improves the photoelectric smoke fire detector's ability to resist ambient light interference.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of smoke detection, in particular to a photoelectric smoke fire detection alarm which is resistant to ambient light interference. Background Art
[0002] Currently, there are two common types of smoke detectors used for smoke detection: ionization smoke detectors and photoelectric smoke detectors. Ionization smoke detectors are more sensitive to tiny smoke ions and offer higher smoke detection sensitivity than photoelectric smoke detectors. They are generally used in locations with high smoke detection requirements. However, because they use radioactive materials (such as americium-241) to generate ions, they are less accepted in places like homes and offices. Photoelectric smoke detectors are more sensitive to slightly larger smoke ions. Smoke particles scatter some light, and the thicker the smoke, the more light is scattered onto the photosensitive receiving element. When the light scattered onto the receiving element reaches a certain level, the device will sound an alarm.
[0003] Photoelectric smoke detectors offer advantages such as greater stability, low power consumption, long life, and ease of installation. However, they are susceptible to interference from external light. A common practice is to completely enclose both the transmitter and receiver tubes within a black maze, with black mesh tape surrounding the maze to prevent the entry of foreign objects and block external light. This approach minimizes interference from external light on the receiver tubes. However, if the maze or the black mesh tape is damaged or improperly installed, interference from external light can cause false smoke alarms. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, a photoelectric smoke fire detection alarm that is resistant to ambient light interference is provided.

[0016] Based on the above, the launch tube includes a first launch tube and a second launch tube;
[0017] The angle between the optical axis of the first transmitting tube and the optical axis of the receiving tube is an obtuse angle, and the first transmitting tube and the receiving tube constitute a forward light path; the angle between the optical axis of the second transmitting tube and the optical axis of the receiving tube is an acute angle, and the second transmitting tube and the receiving tube constitute a backward light path.

[0019] The resistor R26 and the capacitor C17 are connected in series between the VCC voltage terminal and the ground terminal;
[0020] The base of the transistor Q1 is connected to the output pin MCU_LED1 of the microcontroller through the resistor R17; the base of the transistor Q1 is grounded through the resistor R22, and the emitter is grounded through the resistor R23; the collector of the transistor Q1 is connected to the series connection point of the resistor R26 and the capacitor C17 through the light-emitting diode LED2;
[0021] The base of the transistor Q4 is connected to the output pin MCU_LED2 of the microcontroller via a resistor R33;
[0022] The base of the transistor Q4 is grounded via a resistor R31, and the emitter is grounded via a resistor R28;
[0023] The collector of the transistor Q4 is connected to the series connection point of the resistor R26 and the capacitor C17 through the light emitting diode LED3.
[0024] Based on the above, the microcontroller adopts STM32L151C6T series or STM32L412CB series single chip microcomputer.
[0025] The present invention has substantial features and advancements over the prior art. Specifically:
[0026] The utility model presets two set values, and then issues an alarm when the maze is exposed to strong light or is not securely closed, and issues a smoke alarm based on whether the output value of the receiving tube exceeds the corresponding set value when the transmitting tube is turned on and off, thereby solving the problem of false smoke alarms caused by external light interference.
