Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flame detection technology, specifically a three-band infrared flame detector for marine environments. Background Technology

[0002] In the marine operating environment, there are many potential fire hazards on ships, such as fuel leaks and electrical faults, which can cause fires. Once a fire occurs, it can spread rapidly and have unimaginable consequences. Traditional flame detectors have many shortcomings in the complex marine environment. Factors such as the corrosiveness of seawater, humid air, strong sunlight, and the impact of waves can all affect the normal operation and service life of the detectors.

[0003] Conventional flame detectors are susceptible to environmental interference, resulting in false alarms or missed alarms. They cannot detect fires in a timely and accurate manner, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of marine fire safety. Therefore, we propose a three-band infrared flame detector for marine environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a three-band infrared flame detector for marine environments, comprising a housing, a front cover, and a rear cable exit structure.

[0005] A front sealing gasket is disposed between the front end cover and the housing;

[0006] A sealing glass is installed at the optical window of the front cover and is positioned between the front sealing gasket and the middle sealing gasket;

[0007] A front fixed bracket and a rear fixed bracket are fixed inside the housing, and a circuit board is provided between the front fixed bracket and the rear fixed bracket.

[0008] The rear sealing ring is located at the rear end of the housing;

[0009] The rear cable exit structure includes a cable exit plug and a cable exit tube screw. The rear cable exit structure is used for cable sealing and is connected to the rear end.

[0010] Three infrared optical filters in different bands are used for flame detection and background radiation detection;

[0011] An infrared detection element is set in correspondence with the infrared optical filter. A high-sensitivity, low-noise infrared detection element is selected, and it corresponds one-to-one with the optical filters of the three bands. The received infrared radiation signal is converted into an electrical signal to ensure effective capture of weak flame signals.

[0012] A signal processing circuit is used to process the electrical signals output by the infrared detection element.

[0013] Preferably, the three infrared optical filters of different bands correspond to the characteristic wavelength of the flame and two background reference wavelengths, respectively. One is used for flame detection, and the other two are used for background infrared radiation detection. By working together, the characteristic infrared band signal of the flame can be accurately screened out, which can effectively improve the selectivity and sensitivity of flame radiation and reduce the interference of other background radiation. The signal processing circuit includes amplification, filtering and analog-to-digital conversion modules. The signals of the three bands are analyzed and compared through specific algorithms to determine whether there is a flame, which can effectively reduce the false alarm rate.

[0014] Preferably, the front sealing gasket, the middle sealing gasket, and the rear sealing ring together constitute the sealing system of the detector, ensuring the detector's waterproof and dustproof performance in a marine environment.

[0015] Preferably, a shock-absorbing structure is provided between the front fixed bracket and the rear fixed bracket to reduce the impact of external impacts on the internal components of the detector.

[0016] Preferably, the cable expansion plug and the cable outlet screw are connected by threads and filled with sealing material, which enhances the reliability of the cable seal.

[0017] Preferably, the housing is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, which is suitable for marine environments and improves the durability and reliability of the detector.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] During operation, three infrared optical filters of different wavelengths are first precisely installed in front of the optical lens according to design requirements, ensuring alignment between the filters and the optical axis of the detection element to guarantee accurate light transmission. The infrared detection element is then fixed in its corresponding position, ensuring a tight fit with the optical filters. Electrical connections are made to ensure stable signal transmission. Based on the designed circuit diagram, suitable electronic components are selected, soldered, and debugged on the circuit board to ensure normal circuit function and accurate processing of the signals output by the detection element. The assembled optical system, detection element, and signal processing circuit are then installed inside the housing, and the wiring of each part is securely connected. The housing is then sealed, and shock-absorbing devices are installed, completing the assembly of the entire detector. This significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of detecting marine fires, reduces false alarms and missed alarms, enables the detector to operate stably in harsh marine environments, and extends its service life.
