TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a smoke sensor technology field especially a low false alarm rate multi-probe smoke sensor for underground coal mine. BACKGROUND
[0002] The smoke of fire is a mixture of gas, liquid and solid particles, which has physical characteristics such as volume, mass, temperature and charge. According to the above physical characteristics, there are three principles for smoke detection: ion type, optical type and gas sensitive type. Among them, the gas sensitive type smoke sensor is composed of a heating wire and a sensitive material. The heating wire can heat the sensitive material to several hundred degrees Celsius. The difficulty of current passing depends on the number of free electrons in the sensitive material. When the sensor is in clean air, the oxygen in the air will capture free electrons, reducing the number of free electrons in the sensitive material, causing the sensor resistance to rise, making it difficult for current to pass. When the sensor contacts reducing gas, oxygen will react with these gases to release electrons, reducing the sensor resistance and making it easier for current to pass. The gas sensitive type smoke sensor is less affected by dust, but is affected by paint, alcohol, propane, methane, formaldehyde and other gases. Since the standardization of construction in underground coal mines requires painting, paint is easy to trigger false alarms of gas sensitive type smoke sensors.
[0003] Photoelectric smoke sensors are sensitive to smoldering smoke (slow burning phenomenon without flame) but are easily affected by dust and water vapor. When water is sprayed to remove dust in underground coal mines, water droplets can enter the air chamber and easily trigger false alarms of photoelectric smoke sensors.
[0004] Ion type smoke sensors are suitable for detecting open fires and are sensitive to small particle smoke (i.e. smoke particles are very small when the flame burns vigorously).
[0005] Therefore, the existing mine smoke sensor often has false alarm phenomena when used in underground coal mines due to high heat, high humidity, high dust, painting and other environmental influences. INVENTION CONTENTS
