Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fire door monitoring systems, and in particular to a photoelectric sensor switch circuit for fire doors. Background Technology
[0002] Fire doors are crucial components of fire alarm and linkage control systems, effectively isolating fires and toxic fumes. They are of great significance in ensuring personnel safety and minimizing property damage. The photoelectric sensor switch circuit for fire doors is a device that monitors the open / closed status of fire doors continuously over long periods. Therefore, reliable and effective long-term monitoring and ease of installation are particularly important for fire door photoelectric sensor switch circuits.
[0003] Existing fire door monitoring systems include mechanical, electromagnetic, and photoelectric types. Mechanical fire door monitoring systems primarily rely on a mechanical switch as the main monitoring component. Over time, metal fatigue and oxidation of the internal metal parts can cause poor contact in the springs, leading to monitoring failure. Electromagnetic fire door monitoring systems mainly consist of a permanent magnet and a magnetic induction switch. The permanent magnet in these systems may weaken or disappear, causing monitoring failure. Existing photoelectric fire door monitoring systems primarily rely on infrared emitters and receivers shining through each other, with an obstruction between them to monitor the fire door's status. Alternatively, one emitter and receiver can be mounted on the door and the other on the door frame, creating a through-beam system for monitoring. The biggest drawback of this method is its high installation requirements and cost. This paper proposes a monitoring circuit that utilizes the diffuse reflection of infrared light to monitor fire doors. Utility Model Content

[0024] In the above embodiment, the infrared receiving circuit includes a capacitor C1, a resistor R1, and a diode LED7. The 3.3V voltage output from the power supply is electrically connected to the anode of the diode LED7 after passing through the capacitor C1.

[0026] In the above embodiment, the high-pass filter circuit includes a capacitor C3 and a resistor R4. One end of the capacitor C3 is connected to the cathode of the diode LED7 as an input terminal, and the other end of the capacitor C3 is grounded through the resistor R4.

[0028] It should be noted that resistors R3 and R4 work together to adjust the voltage at the positive input terminal of op-amp U7 to 1.65V.
[0029] It should be noted that the MCU's PWM output produces a square wave of a certain frequency to drive the infrared emitting circuit to emit infrared light waves with the PWM output square wave frequency as the carrier. These infrared light waves illuminate the fire door, forming diffusely reflected infrared light waves. The infrared receiving diode on the device then converts the received diffusely reflected infrared light waves into a weak electrical signal. Through a conditioning and amplification circuit, this weak electrical signal is conditioned into a pulsating electrical signal of a certain amplitude. The amplitude of this pulsating electrical signal is proportional to the intensity of the received diffusely reflected light wave. The intensity of the diffusely reflected light wave is related to the distance and angle between the infrared emitting diode and the reflecting surface, as well as the roughness of the reflecting surface. The distance and angle between the external receiving diode and the reflective surface (fire door) are related. With the same surface roughness, if both the infrared emitting and receiving diodes are perpendicular to the reflective surface, the reflected infrared light is strongest at the same distance. Similarly, if the angles between the infrared emitting and receiving diodes and the reflective surface remain constant, the smaller the distance between the diodes and the reflective surface, the stronger the reflected infrared light. This device can determine the distance between the reflective surface and the device by reading the maximum amplitude of the conditioned pulsed electrical signal. If the distance exceeds a certain threshold, the reflected infrared light becomes very weak and cannot drive the infrared receiving diode. Therefore, by reading the maximum amplitude of the pulsed electrical signal, the distance between the device and the reflective surface can be determined. Based on these principles, this device can reliably determine the open and closed status of the fire door.
[0030] Working principle: The infrared emitting unit uses an NPN transistor Q1 as a switch to control the infrared emitting diode's emission and shutdown. The NPN transistor Q1 is controlled by a PWM square wave signal from the MCU. When the PWM square wave outputs a high level, the NPN transistor Q1 is on, and the infrared emitting diode emits infrared waves. When the PWM square wave outputs a low level, the NPN transistor Q1 is off, and the infrared emitting diode stops emitting infrared waves. This creates a modulated wave at the PWM frequency that emits infrared waves. The infrared receiving diode LED7 receives the reflected infrared waves. Upon receiving the infrared waveform, the infrared receiving diode LED7 adjusts its photoelectric sensitivity according to the strength of the received infrared waveform. The current will increase or decrease accordingly, thus converting the received infrared light wave signal into an electrical signal. Since there are certain infrared light waves in nature or indoor environments (sunlight and lamplight contain infrared light waves), but the intensity of these light waves does not change much, so the photocurrent of the infrared receiving diode LED7 is a fixed value. In this device, the infrared emission is an infrared light wave emitted by PWM as the carrier. Thus, a high-pass filter circuit can filter out the electrical signal with a fixed intensity, retaining the electrical signal converted from the PWM frequency carrier light wave. Then, the electrical signal converted from the weak reflected light signal is amplified by the subsequent two-stage signal amplification circuit and supplied to the MCU for detection.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the content of the present utility model specification should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
