Smoke detector and sampling air supplying method for smoke detector
In order to enable supply of a sampling air to a smoke detection portion at a stable flow velocity, the present invention provides a smoke detector including: a black box ( 21 ) including a smoke detection portion ( 25 ) having an inflow port and an outflow port; a sampling pipe ( 30 ) laid in a monitor space; a gas flow pipe (P) connected to the sampling pipe and which houses a fan ( 3 ) therein; a flow path branching portion ( 33 ) provided to the gas flow pipe on a secondary side of the fan and connected to the inflow port of the smoke detection portion; and a flow path merging portion ( 32 ) which is provided to the gas flow pipe on the secondary side of the fan and connected to the outflow port of the smoke detection portion, and at which a pressure of a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe is lower than a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe at the flow path branching portion.
1. A smoke detector, comprising:
a smoke detection portion having an inflow port and an outflow port;
a sampling pipe laid in a monitor space;
a gas flow pipe which is connected to the sampling pipe and which houses a fan therein;
a flow path branching portion provided to the gas flow pipe on a secondary side of the fan and connected to the inflow port of the smoke detection portion; and
a flow path merging portion which is provided to the gas flow pipe on the secondary side of the fan and connected to the outflow port of the smoke detection portion, and at which a pressure of a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe is lower than a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe at the flow path branching portion.
2. A smoke detector, comprising:
a smoke detection portion having an inflow port and an outflow port;
a sampling pipe laid in a monitor space;
a fan for connecting the sampling pipe to a suction port;
a divergent pipe which has a substantially pyramidal shape connected to an exhaust port of the fan and which is wider downstream;
a flow path branching portion provided downstream of the divergent pipe, for supplying a sampling air from the divergent pipe to the smoke detection portion; and
a flow path merging portion provided upstream of the flow path branching portion, for performing exhaustion from the smoke detection portion to the divergent pipe.
3. A smoke detector, comprising:
a smoke detection portion having an inflow port and an outflow port;
a sampling pipe laid in a monitor space;
a gas flow pipe which is connected to the sampling pipe and which houses a fan therein;
a flow path branching portion provided to the gas flow pipe on a secondary side of the fan and connected to the inflow port of the smoke detection portion; and
a flow path merging portion which is provided on the secondary side of the fan and in the vicinity thereof and connected to an outflow port of the smoke detection portion, and at which a pressure of a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe is lower than a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe at the flow path branching portion.
4. A sampling air supplying method for a smoke detector,
the smoke detector including:
a smoke detection portion having an inflow port and an outflow port;
a sampling pipe laid in a monitor space;
a gas flow pipe which is connected to the sampling pipe and which houses a fan therein;
a flow path branching portion provided to the gas flow pipe on a secondary side of the fan and connected to the inflow port of the smoke detection portion; and
a flow path merging portion which is provided on the secondary side of the fan and in the vicinity thereof and connected to an outflow port of the smoke detection portion, and at which a pressure of a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe is lower than a fluid flowing through the gas flow pipe at the flow path branching portion,
the sampling air supplying method comprising introducing a part of the fluid from the flow path branching portion to the smoke detection portion owing to a pressure difference in the fluid on the secondary side of the fan.
