  • Publication number: 20240159642
    Abstract: A smoke detector with an anti-insect function includes a substrate, an optical detection module, a top cover, a base and a perforated plate. The substrate has a ring shape region surrounding a central detection region, and a first block structure of the central detection region is protruded from the substrate and higher than an upper surface of the ring shape region. The optical detection module is disposed inside the central detection region. The top cover has a lateral wall. The base is disposed on the substrate and connected to the top cover to cover the optical detection module. The base has a second block structure partly overlapped with the lateral wall to form a guiding channel. The perforated plate is disposed between the lateral wall and the second block structure to prevent an insect from moving into the top cover through the guiding channel.

  • Publication number: 20240142361
    Abstract: There is provided a smoke detector including a substrate, a light source and a light sensor. The light source and the light sensor are arranged adjacently on the substrate. The substrate is arranged with an asymmetric structure to cause an illumination region of the light source to deviate toward the light sensor thereby increasing a ratio of light intensity reflected by smoke with respect to reference light intensity.

  • Publication number: 20240078887
    Abstract: There is provided a smoke detector including a first light source, a second light source surface, a light sensor and a processor. The light sensor receives reflected light when the first light source and the second light source emit light, and generates a first detection signal corresponding to light emission of the first light source and a second detection signal corresponding to light emission of the second light source. The processor distinguishes smoke and floating particles according to a similarity between the first detection signal and the second detection signal.
