Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of explosion-proof sensors, and more specifically, relates to a resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor. Background Technology

[0002] Hydrogen, as a clean energy source, has wide applications in many fields. However, hydrogen is flammable and explosive. When the concentration of hydrogen in the air reaches a certain range (usually known as the explosion limit, typically 4.0% - 75.6% by volume), it will cause a violent explosion when it encounters a source of ignition or energy, resulting in serious casualties and property damage. However, existing explosion-proof sensors have the following drawbacks:

[0003] Existing hydrogen explosion-proof sensors have a safety hazard in their gas collection hood design. When hydrogen enters the gas collection hood through the inlet channel on the top cover, due to inadequate internal space layout and protective measures, the hydrogen is highly likely to diffuse into the area where electronic components are installed, coming into contact with gas-sensitive circuit boards, potted circuit boards, and other electronic components. During operation, these electronic components may generate electrical sparks, heat, or other ignition or energy sources. Once hydrogen accumulates near the electronic components and reaches its explosive limit, it will trigger a violent explosion upon encountering an ignition source generated by the electronic components, causing the gas collection hood to explode. This will severely damage the sensor itself, rendering it unable to continue operating normally.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor in order to achieve a more practical and valuable purpose. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor to overcome the aforementioned defects in the prior art.

[0006] The purpose and effect of the resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor of the present invention are achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0007] A resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor includes a gas collection hood cover and a gas collection hood base. The gas collection hood cover and the gas collection hood base are combined to form a cavity. A gas-sensitive detection component, an expansion isolation component, and a secondary quick-sealing component are installed sequentially from top to bottom in the cavity.

[0008] When the gas-sensitive detection component detects hydrogen leakage in the air in real time, the expansion isolation component immediately fills the expansion material quickly in a bursting spray manner, so as to physically isolate the electronic components in the cavity from the hydrogen. The secondary fast sealing component repairs the inner cavity by monitoring the movement distance of the expansion isolation component in real time and spraying expansion material again.

[0009] The expansion barrier component includes an expansion gel component, a pneumatic drive component, and a liquid bladder. The pneumatic drive component uses mechanical transmission and pressure drive to work together to cause the aerogel inside the liquid bladder to expand and fill the cavity, thus constructing a barrier to isolate hydrogen.

[0010] A further technical solution includes a gas-sensitive detection component comprising a gas-sensitive circuit board that divides the cavity into a gas-sensitive detection cavity and an electronic component mounting cavity. A gas-sensitive element is fixedly mounted on the top of the gas-sensitive circuit board, with pins of the gas-sensitive element penetrating the gas-sensitive circuit board. A rubber gasket is provided at the penetration point between the pins of the gas-sensitive element and the gas-sensitive circuit board. A potting circuit board is provided below the gas-sensitive circuit board. A gas-sensitive element wire is connected between the gas-sensitive circuit board and the potting circuit board. Copper pillars are fixedly mounted on both sides of the gas-sensitive element wire. The copper pillars are used to increase the space between the gas-sensitive circuit board and the potting circuit board and to enhance the stability of the gas-sensitive circuit board and the potting circuit board.

The pressure ring cooperates with the explosion-proof sheet to compact and install the waterproof and breathable membrane.

[0012] In a further technical solution, an expansion isolation component is connected between the gas-sensitive circuit board and the potting circuit board. The expansion isolation component includes an expansion adhesive component and a pneumatic drive component. A gas-sensitive element wire is provided on the outside of the expansion adhesive component. The expansion adhesive component includes an upper fixing post. One end of the upper fixing post is connected to the bottom surface of the gas-sensitive circuit board, and the other end of the upper fixing post is connected to a liquid bladder. An annular groove is provided on the potting circuit board, which divides the potting circuit board into a ring and a circular plate. One end of the gas-sensitive element wire is connected to the bottom surface of the gas-sensitive circuit board, and the other end of the gas-sensitive element wire is connected to the circular plate.

[0013] A further technical solution includes a pneumatic drive assembly fixedly connected below the expanding adhesive assembly. The pneumatic drive assembly includes an upper end plate, a lower fixing post fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper end plate, and the lower fixing post connected to the liquid bladder. Two protruding balls are provided on the outer side of the upper end plate. A spring assembly is fixedly connected below the upper end plate. A front contact plate is connected to the other end of the spring assembly. A through hole is provided on the front contact plate. A gas collection hood lead assembly passes through the through hole. The upper end of the gas collection hood lead assembly is connected to the bottom of the potting circuit board. The secondary potting assembly is triggered to release and release the secondary potting liquid. The potting liquid can flow into the tiny gaps, corners, and gaps between the expanding materials that were not covered by the primary expansion to achieve secondary barrier.

[0014] In a further technical solution, an air inlet pipe wall cavity is provided below the electronic component mounting cavity. The air inlet pipe wall cavity is provided with a large pipe sidewall and a small pipe sidewall. A circular cylinder is provided inside the large pipe sidewall. The circular cylinder is provided with a threaded groove and a smooth wall. The upper end plate rotates in the threaded groove, and the convex ball provided on the upper end plate rolls in the threaded groove. The front end contact plate slides in contact with the smooth wall.

[0015] A further technical solution is provided, wherein a secondary filling assembly is fixedly installed inside the side wall of the small tube. The secondary filling assembly includes a filling air inlet hood, a secondary filling liquid chamber is provided inside the wall of the filling air inlet hood, a side nozzle is provided on the side wall of the filling air inlet hood, an upper nozzle is provided at the upper opening of the filling air inlet hood, a contact cloth is connected to the side nozzle and the upper nozzle, and one end of the contact cloth is connected to the bottom surface of the front contact plate.

[0016] In a further technical solution, the gas collection hood lead wire assembly includes a rigid sleeve, and a plastic-sealed wire clamp is connected to the other end of the rigid sleeve. A flexible cable is connected to the lower section of the plastic-sealed wire clamp, and the rigid sleeve provides a limit for the front-end contact plate to achieve vertical movement.

[0017] In a further technical solution, the installation layout of the liquid bladder, the lower fixing post, and the upper fixing post adopts a triangular configuration design, wherein the side closest to the liquid bladder forms a pentagonal shape that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top.

[0018] A further technical solution is that the internal filling expansion material of the liquid bladder is aerogel, which is a nanoporous material with extremely low density and high porosity.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The present invention discloses a resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor with a liquid bladder. When the hydrogen concentration in the sensor's gas collection hood exceeds the standard, the expansion material in the liquid bladder is triggered and expands rapidly. Since the liquid bladder is installed in a specific position, the expanded material can quickly fill the surrounding space, separating the gas-sensitive detection chamber from the hydrogen and preventing the hydrogen from spreading further, thereby achieving the function of quickly isolating the gas and achieving the effect of safety warning.

[0021] This invention discloses a resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor. By incorporating a pneumatically driven component, the liquid bladder bursts through rotational torque. In contrast, traditional puncture methods result in a single puncture point and a concentrated spray direction of the expanding material, making multi-angle spraying difficult. The puncture-driven method allows the expanding material within the liquid bladder to be ejected at a wider angle. This more comprehensively fills the sensor's internal cavity, thus more effectively isolating hazardous gases such as hydrogen.

[0022] This invention discloses a resin-encapsulated explosion-proof sensor. By incorporating a secondary encapsulation component, although primary expansion can quickly isolate gas, due to the complexity of the expansion process and the special nature of the cavity structure, it is difficult to avoid problems such as insufficient local filling. The secondary encapsulation component triggers the release of secondary encapsulation liquid. This encapsulation liquid can precisely flow into the tiny gaps, corners, and voids between the expanded materials that were not covered by primary expansion, providing targeted filling and solving the problems left over from primary expansion, thereby further enhancing the gas isolation effect.

[0052] Preferably, the internal filling expansion material of the liquid bladder 36 is aerogel, which is a nanoporous material with extremely low density and high porosity.

[0053] Specific usage of this invention:

[0054] When using this device, first install it at the detection port of the hydrogen cylinder. The gas-sensitive circuit board 20 divides the sensor cavity into a gas-sensitive detection chamber 32 and an electronic component mounting chamber 34, with the gas-sensitive element 18 mounted above the gas-sensitive circuit board 20. When air enters the gas-sensitive detection chamber 32 through the gas collection hood cover 11, the gas-sensitive element 18 can detect the hydrogen content in real time. The pins of the gas-sensitive element 18 penetrate the gas-sensitive circuit board 20, and the rubber gasket 19 ensures the sealing of the connection between the two. The gas-sensitive circuit board 20 and the potting circuit board 24 are connected by the gas-sensitive element wire 23, and the copper pillar 21 increases the distance between them and strengthens the stability, ensuring stable transmission of the gas-sensitive detection signal. At the same time, below the secondary potting assembly 30, that is, at the lower port of the gas collection hood base 12, resin glue is filled for potting to prevent hydrogen from entering the sensor and affecting the detection accuracy.

[0055] An explosion-proof sheet 15, a waterproof and breathable membrane 16, and a pressure ring 17 are sequentially installed in the mounting groove of the gas collection hood cover 11. The explosion-proof sheet 15 ruptures to release pressure when the internal pressure is too high; the waterproof and breathable membrane 16 allows air to enter while blocking moisture, protecting the gas-sensitive element 18; the pressure ring 17 cooperates with the explosion-proof sheet 15 to compact the waterproof and breathable membrane 16. The gas collection hood lead wire assembly 13 consists of a rigid sleeve 27, a plastic-sealed wire clamp 29, and a flexible cable 28. Among them, the rigid sleeve 27 provides a limit for the front contact plate 40 and protects the internal wires, the plastic-sealed wire clamp 29 is used to fix and organize the wires, and the flexible cable 28 is responsible for transmitting the sensor signal to external devices.

[0056] As sensors age with prolonged use, their internal sealing gradually deteriorates. The resin adhesive at the lower port of the gas collecting hood base 12 is affected by environmental factors, causing changes in its molecular structure and a decrease in physical properties such as flexibility and adhesion, leading to seal failure. At this time, hydrogen gas enters the inlet pipe wall cavity 33 through the lower port of the gas collecting hood base 12, increasing the pressure inside the cavity. This pressure pushes the front contact plate 40 upwards along the vertically arranged rigid sleeve 27, thereby pushing the spring assembly 38. The spring assembly 38, under pressure, drives the upper end plate 37 upwards. Because the convex ball on the outer side of the upper end plate 37 slides within the threaded groove, the upper end plate 37 rotates. When the upper end plate 37 rotates, it drives the liquid bladder 36 to rotate via the lower fixing posts 39. The lower surface of the liquid bladder 36 has five evenly distributed, inclined lower fixing posts 39 arranged in a ring array, with a gradually changing shape near the end of the liquid bladder 36 that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This structure causes the liquid bladder 36 to twist into a spiral shape at its central axis during rotation. When the torsional deformation reaches the predetermined tolerance value, the liquid bladder 36 will explode and quickly fill the electronic component mounting cavity 34.

[0057] As the front contact plate 40 moves upward, the contact cloth 45 is simultaneously pulled, releasing the expanding colloid in the secondary filling liquid chamber 46. Because the inlet pipe wall cavity 33 is a high-pressure environment, gas flows towards the low-pressure area. Since the injection port of the secondary filling assembly 30 is located near the inner wall of the gas collection hood base 12, the high-pressure gas can push the expanding colloid through the gaps, filling the space not fully filled during the initial expansion of the liquid bladder 36, further ensuring normal sensor operation and environmental safety. When the liquid bladder 36 expands, the gas-sensitive element 18 detects a sensor malfunction, allowing personnel to close the valve and replace the sensor, ensuring the safe storage of the hydrogen cylinder.

[0058] The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
