Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fire detectors, and more particularly to a fire detector. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of a photoelectric smoke detector is that a photosensitive electrode generates an electrical signal when illuminated by a laser. When smoke obscures the laser, the electrode loses power and triggers an alarm signal. In point-type photoelectric smoke detectors, the infrared emitting element and the photosensitive element are typically offset within their detection chamber. The distance between them is generally 20-25mm. Under normal smoke-free monitoring conditions, the photosensitive element receives no light, including that emitted by the infrared emitting element. When smoke particles enter the detection chamber, the light emitted by the infrared emitting element is scattered or reflected by the smoke particles onto the photosensitive element. Upon receiving sufficient light, a fire alarm signal is triggered. This fire detection method is commonly referred to as the smoke scattering light method.

[0003] Photoelectric smoke detectors are generally suitable for places where there is no large amount of water vapor or smoke, such as restaurants, hotels, teaching buildings, computer rooms, communication rooms, office building halls, bedrooms, office libraries, archives, etc.

[0004] In terms of current technology, the connection between the conductive posts inside the fire detector and the outer shell is complex and not stable enough, resulting in high cost and short service life. Summary of the Invention

The conductive post passes through the fixing ring, and the fixing ring is fixed to the conductive post by the limiting cooperation between the protruding structure and the limiting groove.

[0013] In the aforementioned fire detector, the housing has a mounting plate, on which the fixing ring is formed, and the fixing ring extends along one side of the mounting plate.

[0014] In the aforementioned fire detector, the length of the fixing ring is greater than the thickness of the mounting plate.

[0015] In the aforementioned fire detector, the housing includes a lower cover and an upper cover connected to each other, and the conductive post is installed on the lower cover.

[0016] The aforementioned fire detector has a label on its lower cover.

[0017] In the aforementioned fire detector, the end of the conductive post is soldered to the circuit board assembly.
