Abstract
A photoelectric smoke detector of this invention comprises a smoke-detection arrangement including a light emitting element and a photodetecting element and a smoke-detecting unit on which said smoke-detection arrangement is mounted. The smoke-detecting unit includes a base plate to which said smoke-detection arrangement is attached and a peripheral wall having such a configuration that allows smoke to enter from the outside, but substantially prevents light to enter from the outside. The peripheral wall is formed of a plurality of wall elements, each of said wall elements is arranged substantially regularly and formed integrally with said base plate so as to extend downward from the base plate. The smoke-detecting unit further includes an insect net which has been fixed to the outer surfaces of the wall elements in the shaping process of the smoke-detecting unit so as to be fit around the outer periphery of the peripheral wall.
