[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-Figure 6 The embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0033] The present application provides an electronic ignition element for use in an electronic detonator without explosive, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1It is a framework diagram of an electronic ignition element provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the electronic ignition element includes: an electronic control module, the electronic control module includes an energy monitoring unit, an energy storage component and a flying piece launching device, wherein the energy storage component is used to store target energy, the energy monitoring unit is used to monitor the energy state of the energy storage component, the electronic control module is used to send a feedback signal to the detonator and receive a detonation signal sent by the detonator, and when the detonation signal is received, the electronic control module releases the target energy to trigger the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying piece, wherein the target flying piece is used to detonate the electronic detonator, the feedback signal includes a signal of the energy state, and the detonation signal is sent by the detonator when it is determined based on the feedback signal that the energy state meets the preset conditions.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the electronic ignition element stores energy through the energy storage component, and releases the energy to trigger the flying piece launching device when receiving the detonation signal, thereby realizing safe detonation without explosives; the energy monitoring unit can monitor the energy state of the energy storage component in real time to ensure that the energy state in the energy storage component reaches the preset conditions before detonation, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency. The electronic ignition element can realize the safe detonation of the detonator without explosives. Specifically, the energy monitoring unit in the electronic control module monitors the energy state of the energy storage component in real time and sends a feedback signal to the detonator; when the detonator determines that the energy state meets the preset conditions based on the feedback signal, it sends a detonation signal to the electronic control module; after receiving the detonation signal, the electronic control module releases the target energy to trigger the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying pieces, thereby detonating the electronic detonator. This embodiment simplifies the structure of the electronic detonator, reduces the production cost, and improves the safety and reliability of the detonation process. By integrating the energy monitoring unit, the energy storage component and the flying piece launching device, a relatively simplified structure is provided, which can reduce the complexity and cost of the system; the energy state of the energy storage component is monitored in real time by the energy monitoring unit, and the detonator sends a detonation signal when the preset conditions are met, which improves the reliability and safety of the detonation process. In addition, the energy monitoring unit can ensure that the energy in the energy storage component is at the expected level, and detonation is allowed only when the preset conditions are met, which can prevent failure or dangerous situations caused by insufficient or excessive energy; the energy release is accurately controlled by the electronic control module, avoiding accidental explosion accidents that may be caused by the detonator in the traditional detonator; the design of the electronic control module makes the detonation process of the detonator simpler and easier to operate, and at the same time, the accuracy of detonation is improved through the communication of the feedback signal with the detonator; that is, the detonation is achieved by a relatively simple electronic control module, which reduces the complexity and cost of the system. The above preset conditions can be that the energy of the energy storage component is greater than or equal to the preset energy threshold, or the voltage at both ends of the energy storage component is greater than or equal to the preset voltage threshold, or the energy storage component has reached a fully charged state within a predetermined time, etc.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, upon receiving the detonation signal, the electronic control module controls the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying pieces after a delay of a preset time length, wherein the preset time length is pre-set and stored in the electronic control module.

[0036] In the above embodiment, after receiving the detonation signal, the electronic control module controls the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying piece by delaying the preset time length, that is, the electronic control module controls the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying piece according to the preset time delay, and the preset time length can effectively avoid false triggering and improve the safety and reliability of the detonation process. Different use environments may require different reaction times, and the preset time length can be adjusted according to specific needs, which increases the flexibility and adaptability of the system. In some application scenarios, multiple detonators need to be detonated at the same time, but there may be slight time differences in actual operation. By setting the preset time length, the timing of blasting can be controlled more accurately, thereby improving the flexibility and safety of operation, and avoiding the problems of traditional electronic ignition components in detonation accuracy, system flexibility and preventing misoperation. In some cases, it may be necessary to avoid immediately detonating the detonator, such as before personnel evacuate or machinery is removed. By introducing a delay mechanism, it can be ensured that the detonator will not be detonated at an inappropriate time, thereby reducing the risk of accidental blasting.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the electronic control module further includes a target discharge switch. When receiving the detonation signal, the electronic control module controls the target discharge switch to release the target energy, so as to drive the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying piece.

[0038] In the above embodiment, a target discharge switch is added so that the electronic control module can accurately control the release process of the target energy after receiving the detonation signal, thereby more reliably driving the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying piece, and improving the accuracy and safety of detonation. Through the target discharge switch, the process of energy release can be more accurately controlled to ensure that the energy is released at the right time, thereby accurately triggering the flying piece launch. In the process of energy release, improper control may cause energy waste or fail to effectively trigger the flying piece launch. The design of the target discharge switch helps to improve the energy utilization efficiency and ensure the stable operation of the system. The existence of the target discharge switch can isolate faults to a certain extent. For example, if the discharge switch is not closed correctly, the energy will not be released, thereby avoiding unexpected detonation events. As an independent control link, the target discharge switch helps to establish a barrier between energy storage and energy release to prevent safety problems caused by accidental energy release. Optionally, in practical applications, the electronic control module can be designed to require a specific signal or password to be triggered. Such a safety feature can effectively prevent unauthorized use and accidental detonation, thereby enhancing the safety of detonator use. By precisely controlling the release of energy, this embodiment reduces the risk of accidental detonation or component damage caused by improper energy release, and enhances the stability and reliability of the system.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, the target discharge switch is a fast discharge switch, and the target discharge switch includes one of the following: a relay, an insulated gate bipolar transistor, a MOS tube, and a thyristor.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the target discharge switch in the electronic ignition element adopts a fast discharge switch, specifically including one of a relay, an insulated gate bipolar transistor, a MOS tube or a thyristor. This design enables the electronic ignition element to quickly release the target energy after receiving the detonation signal or to quickly release the target energy after receiving the detonation signal for a preset time delay, thereby quickly triggering the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying piece, thereby improving the response speed and reliability of the electronic detonator. The fast discharge switch can act quickly after receiving the detonation signal to ensure that the energy can be released in time, which is particularly important for application scenarios that require high response speed; through the fast discharge switch, the energy can be quickly released in a short time, thereby improving the efficiency of energy release, which helps to ensure that the flying piece can obtain sufficient kinetic energy to achieve effective launch. By selecting the fast discharge switch mentioned above, it can be ensured that the switch still maintains good performance in harsh environments such as high voltage and high temperature, reducing the problem of failure caused by switch failure; using a reliable fast discharge switch can significantly reduce the probability of system failure caused by switch failure and improve the reliability of the entire detonator system; certain types of switches (such as MOS tubes, IGBTs) have lower conduction losses, which help to reduce energy loss and improve the overall energy efficiency of the system.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the electronic control module is further used to dynamically adjust the discharge time of the target discharge switch according to the energy state and the target launch speed, wherein the target launch speed is used to indicate the speed required for the target flying fragment to detonate the electronic detonator.

By dynamically adjusting the discharge time according to actual needs, it can be ensured that the flying pieces are fired at the required speed, thereby improving the success rate of detonation. Different application scenarios may require different flying piece firing speeds to ensure successful detonation. By adjusting the discharge time according to the energy state and the target firing speed, it is possible to achieve accurate control of the flying piece firing speed. Since the firing speed may be affected by a variety of factors (such as ambient temperature, humidity, aging degree, etc.), dynamically adjusting the discharge time can allow the system to better adapt to these changes and ensure reliable operation under various conditions. Adjusting the discharge time according to the energy state and the target firing speed can ensure that the flying pieces are fired at an appropriate speed, thereby optimizing the blasting effect and improving the efficiency and safety of the blasting operation; the ability to dynamically adjust the discharge time enables the electronic ignition element to maintain consistent working performance in different operating environments, thereby improving the adaptability of the electronic ignition element.

The flying piece launching device made of lightweight materials can significantly reduce the weight of the entire electronic detonator, thereby improving the launching speed and accuracy of the flying piece. At the same time, lightweight materials usually have good elasticity and toughness, which is conducive to the stability and reliability of the flying piece during the launching process; lightweight materials such as titanium alloy materials and carbon fiber composite materials usually have high strength and durability, and can withstand greater impact and pressure.

Through the cooperation of the energy monitoring unit and the energy storage component, it can be ensured that each detonation is carried out in the optimal energy state, thereby improving the reliability of the detonation process; the electronic control module accurately releases the target energy after receiving the detonation signal, and triggers the flying piece launching device to launch the target flying piece, so that the method realizes accurate detonation; by real-time monitoring and feedback of the energy state of the energy storage component, and ensuring the safe sending and accurate detonation of the detonation signal, the method optimizes the user experience, so that the operator can control the detonation process more conveniently and accurately. The above-mentioned preset conditions may be that the energy of the energy storage component is greater than or equal to a preset energy threshold, or the voltage across the energy storage component is greater than or equal to a preset voltage threshold, or the energy storage component has reached a fully charged state within a predetermined time, etc.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, when the electronic control module receives a detonation signal, it releases target energy to trigger the flying piece launching device to launch target flying pieces, including: when the electronic control module receives a detonation signal, it controls the flying piece launching device to launch target flying pieces after a delay of a preset time length, wherein the preset time length is pre-set and stored in the electronic control module.

[0052] In the above embodiment, when receiving the detonation signal, the flying piece launching device can be triggered to launch the target flying pieces after delaying the preset time length, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the detonation process. The preset time length can be pre-set according to the specific application scenario and stored in the electronic control module, thereby enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the system. Different use environments may require different reaction times, and the preset time length can be adjusted according to specific needs, thereby increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the system. In some application scenarios, multiple detonators need to be detonated at the same time, but there may be slight time differences in actual operation. By setting the preset time length, the timing of blasting can be more accurately controlled, thereby improving the flexibility and safety of operation, and avoiding the problems of traditional electronic ignition elements in detonation accuracy, system flexibility and preventing misoperation. In some cases, it may be necessary to avoid detonating the detonator immediately, such as before the evacuation of personnel or the removal of machinery. By introducing a delay mechanism, it can be ensured that the detonator will not be detonated at an inappropriate time, thereby reducing the risk of accidental blasting.

[0053] Optionally, the above method also includes: during the process of the energy storage unit releasing the target energy, performing abnormality detection on the energy storage component, and interrupting the release of the target energy when an abnormality is detected.

[0055] The embodiment of the present application provides an electronic ignition element for a digital electronic detonator without explosive and a detonation method thereof, which is mainly used in the detonation process of a digital electronic detonator without explosive. The electronic control module directly produces flying pieces that can detonate the basic detonator without explosive, thereby improving the safety of detonator production.

[0056] The electronic ignition element includes an electronic control module, a rubber plug, a foot line and a line card, wherein the electronic control module is used to receive a detonation instruction and control a flying piece launching device to launch a flying piece after receiving the instruction. The flying piece has sufficient speed and energy to detonate the basic detonator without explosive. The electronic ignition element has the following advantages: 1) The electronic control module includes an energy monitoring unit, an energy storage component and a trigger component.

[0057] 2) The energy monitoring unit can monitor the energy status of the energy storage component in real time to ensure that the energy storage component is in the best working condition before each detonation.

[0058] 3) The energy storage component uses high-voltage capacitors, which can accumulate a large amount of electrical energy in a short period of time.

[0059] 4) The fast discharge switch can be optimized with intelligent control algorithms, dynamically adjusting the discharge timing and discharge power according to the energy state of the energy storage component and the required launch speed of the flying pieces, so as to achieve more accurate flying piece launch control. In addition, multiple safety protection mechanisms can be set, such as abnormal detection and automatic interruption function during the discharge process, to ensure the safety of the detonation process.

[0060] 5) Flying pieces are made of lightweight and high-strength materials, such as titanium alloy or carbon fiber composite materials. This material has excellent mechanical properties and light weight, which can ensure that the flying pieces have a higher speed when obtaining the same energy, thereby improving the reliability of detonation. At the same time, lightweight flying pieces can also reduce the load on the entire ignition component and extend its service life.

[0061] It should be noted that some of the above-mentioned technical means can be replaced: the energy storage component can be replaced by other types of energy storage elements, such as compressed gas energy storage devices or chemical energy storage devices, to meet the needs of different application scenarios; the fast discharge switch in the trigger component can be replaced by other types of switching elements, such as thyristors or relays, to achieve more flexible control methods.

The first diode D1 and the second diode D2 are devices for protecting the charging of the first capacitor C1 and the second capacitor C2 respectively; the energy stored in the first capacitor C1 is used for the normal operation of the chip after the bus (corresponding to the aforementioned foot line) is disconnected, and the energy stored in the second capacitor C2 will be used for the ignition of the ignition element; the target chip U1 has a unique identity identification number, receives bus data, sends data to the bus, and performs delay according to the data received by the bus. After the delay, the internal fast discharge switch of the chip is opened, and the loop of the second capacitor C2 and the first resistor R1 (corresponding to the aforementioned flying chip launching device) is turned on, so that the flying chip launching device produces flying chips.
