Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of explosion-proof sockets, and in particular to an automatic power-off device for plugging and unplugging a distribution box with an industrial explosion-proof socket. Background Art
[0002] In order to ensure the continuous power supply of the distribution box, the power workers will not shut down the power when they insert the electrical plug into the distribution box socket. The moment the electrical plug is inserted into the distribution box socket, due to the existence of a large contact resistance, sparks will be generated at the contact point and heat will be released. As the plug and socket contacts are in stable contact, the sparks and heat will disappear. When the electrical plug is unplugged from the socket, sparks will also be generated at the moment the contacts are separated due to the presence of the load. Although the operation time of plugging and unplugging the electrical plug is very short and the sparks will disappear quickly, since a large number of electrical components and lines are installed in the distribution box, the sparks and heat generated by the contact points of plugging and unplugging the electrical plug pose a threat to the electrical components in the distribution box, and there are potential safety hazards to the lives of the staff.
