Background Technology

[0002] Fire detectors are the "sensory organs" of a system, monitoring the environment for fires. Once a fire is detected, they convert characteristic physical quantities of the fire, such as temperature, smoke, gases, and radiant light intensity, into electrical signals and immediately send an alarm signal to the fire alarm controller. Fire detectors are devices in automatic fire alarm systems that detect fires by investigating the scene.

[0003] Commercially available fire detectors typically consist of an upper housing and a lower housing that fit together, forming a cavity between them. This cavity houses the sensor, circuit board, and battery, and ventilation holes are provided on either the upper or lower housing. This structure has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1. The cavity only has a single sensor mounting position, which cannot support the collaborative work of multiple sensors;

[0005] 2. The ventilation holes are mostly simple hollows or straight holes, which cannot balance the needs of heat dissipation and dust / waterproofing;

[0006] 3. The gaps in the casing installation were not treated, which may allow water or dust to enter.

[0007] 4. The casing is mostly made of traditional plastic or thin metal, which is prone to deformation or corrosion in high temperature, high humidity and corrosive environments, making it difficult to adapt to harsh environments such as petrochemical and power industries. Utility Model Content

It utilizes the inherent thermal conductivity of the metal housing to transfer internal heat to the housing for dissipation, thus achieving both heat dissipation and waterproofing, providing high protection, and is particularly suitable for complex industrial environments. Specifically, the metal housing can be made of materials such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bracket assembly is fixedly connected to the bottom of the metal housing; the metal housing includes a main outer shell 11, a front cover 12, a rear cover 13, and a shroud 14; wherein, the main outer shell 11, the front cover 12, and the rear cover 13 are spliced ​​to form a cylindrical receiving cavity 3, and a heat-conducting bracket 4 is provided inside the receiving cavity 3. The heat-conducting bracket 4 is located in the middle of the receiving cavity 3, and its front and rear ends are respectively mounted on the front cover 12 and the rear cover 13 through copper pillars. A circuit board 5 is mounted on the heat-conducting bracket 4 through copper pillars; a rubber ring 6 is provided at the joint between the main outer shell 11 and the front cover 12 and the rear cover 13; please refer to Figure 3 A camera viewing mirror is installed on the outer wall of the front cover 12; a fire detection device is installed on the front side of the receiving cavity 3. The camera viewing mirror is used to assist the fire detection device inside the receiving cavity 3, facilitating direct observation of the external scene from inside the outer shell; please refer to Figure 2 One end of the awning 14 is fixedly connected to the main housing 11, and the other end extends to the outside of the front cover 12, hiding the seam between the main housing 11 and the front cover 12 under the awning 14 to prevent rainwater from directly entering the seam.

[0031] Furthermore, an inclined baffle 10 can be provided below the awning 14. In this embodiment, the inclined baffle 10 is the inclined outer wall 122 on the front cover 12. Specifically, the front cover 12 includes a first platform 121, an inclined outer wall 122, and a second platform 123.

The other end of the hinge 23 is hinged to the base 24 to adjust the pitch angle of the metal housing. A flange support 25 is provided at the other end of the base 24. This structure enables the housing to be adjusted in the X / Y / Z planes, greatly expanding the detection range, and the flange support 25 makes the housing installation more stable.

[0034] This utility model discloses a fire detector housing that combines heat dissipation and waterproofing functions. A rubber ring 6 is provided at the joint between the main housing 11 and the front cover 12 and the rear cover 13. Together with the cover 14 covering the joint between the main housing 11 and the front cover 12, it has a good waterproof effect. With the help of the heat-conducting bracket 4 and the metal housing, the heat generated by the circuit board 5 is transferred to the metal housing for heat dissipation through the heat-conducting bracket 4. It has both heat dissipation and waterproofing functions.
