SMOKE ALARM ACCORDING TO THE SCATTERED LIGHT PRINCIPLE HAVING A TWO-COLOR LIGHT-EMITTING DIODE WITH DIFFERENT SIZES OF LED CHIPS
First Claim
1. An optical smoke alarm, comprising:
- a detector unit working according to a scattered light principle;
a light-emitting diode for irradiating particles to be detected and disposed in said detector unit, said light-emitting diode having a first LED chip being a surface-emitting radiator for emitting a first light bundle with light in a first wavelength range of from 350 nm to 500 nm, said light-emitting diode having a second LED chip being a surface-emitting radiator for emitting a second light bundle with light in a second wavelength range of from 665 nm to 1000 nm, said first and second LED chips disposed next to each other, a ratio of an optically active surface of said first LED chip to an optically active surface of said second LED chip being within a range of from 2 to 20; and
a spectrally sensitive photosensor to detect light scattered by the particles, said spectrally sensitive photosensor disposed in said detector unit.

Abstract
An optical smoke alarm contains a detector unit that works according to the scattered light principle with a light-emitting diode to irradiate particles to be detected and a photo sensor which is spectrally sensitive thereto to detect the light scattered by the particles. The light-emitting diode contains a first LED chip being a surface-emitting radiator for emitting a first light bundle with light in a first wavelength range of from 350 nm to 500 nm. It contains a second LED chip being a surface-emitting radiator for emitting a second light bundle with light in a second wavelength range of from 665 nm to 1000 nm. The two LED chips are arranged next to each other. A ratio of the optically active surface of the first LED chip to the optically active surface of the second LED chip is within a range of from 2 to 20.
