Abstract

To enable an air velocity of sampling air to be precisely measured, a smoke detector (S) includes: a smoke detection part ( 22 ) connected to a sampling pipe ( 11 ); a fan ( 12 ) that sucks sampling air (SA) into the sampling pipe; and an air velocity sensor ( 15 ) that measures an air velocity of the sampling air within the sampling pipe. The air velocity sensor ( 15 ) is disposed at a primary side of the fan ( 12 ), and a straightening vane ( 25 ) is disposed between the air velocity sensor ( 15 ) and a suction port ( 12 a ) of the fan ( 12 ).

Claims (7)

1. A smoke detector, comprising:

a smoke detection part having an inflow port and an outflow port;

an airflow pipe coupled with a sampling pipe disposed in a monitor space, in which a fan intervenes;

a flow path branch part coupled with an inflow port of the smoke detection part; and

a flow path merging part disposed in the airflow pipe and coupled with the outflow port of the smoke detection part through an exhaust pipe,

wherein the flow path merging part is equipped with a nozzle part having an opening larger than the exhaust pipe, which sprays air toward a vent hole lower in pressure than the flow path branch part of the fan.

2. A smoke detector according to claim 1 , wherein the opening of the nozzle part is adjustable.
