Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of coal mine seismic wave detection, and in particular to a node-type seismic collector casing. Background Art

[0002] In the field of coal mine seismic exploration, seismic collectors are key equipment, and their stability and reliability directly affect the quality and efficiency of seismic data collection. Especially in harsh environments such as underground coal mines, seismic collectors need to face multiple challenges such as high humidity, high dust, large temperature changes, and potential mechanical shocks. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a casing that can effectively protect the electronic components inside the seismic collector from these harsh environments.

[0003] Most of the existing seismic collector housings adopt the traditional split structure, that is, the housing part and the cover part are connected by bolts or buckles. Although this structure is simple, it has shortcomings in terms of sealing and durability. Especially in complex environments such as underground coal mines, the split structure is prone to loose connections due to vibration or impact, which in turn affects the sealing performance of the housing, making the internal electronic components susceptible to erosion by pollutants such as dust and moisture, resulting in an increase in equipment failure rate and a shortened service life.

[0004] In addition, the existing seismic collector housing also has deficiencies in battery installation and charging interface design. If the battery is not firmly installed or the charging interface is poorly sealed, it may cause problems such as loose batteries, poor contact, or water ingress into the charging interface, which in turn affects the normal use and safety of the device.

[0010] After the battery is installed, the thin-plate structure of the glue seal limit plate is placed on the glue seal limit column and fixed by epoxy resin casting to improve the flatness of the battery casting and effectively control the casting thickness to ensure that the sealing effect is optimal, ensure the stability and sealing of the battery installation, improve the waterproof and dustproof level of the casing, ensure that the seismic collector can work stably in harsh environments (such as humid and dusty areas), and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0011] The upper cover and the lower shell are tightly connected by fastening screws, and a sealing groove is arranged in the fastening hole, a sealing plug is installed in the sealing groove, and a sealing ring is arranged in the sealing groove of the casing. This technical solution further enhances the sealing performance of the casing through multiple sealings, effectively prevents the intrusion of external substances such as water and dust, and ensures the cleanliness and stability of the internal environment of the seismic collector.
