Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of distribution box technology, specifically an explosion-proof control box. Background Technology
[0002] Explosion-proof control boxes are core electrical devices used for power distribution control, signal transmission, and equipment protection in explosive hazardous locations such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgical, and coal mines where flammable and explosive gases or dust exist. They isolate internal electrical components from the external hazardous environment through an explosion-proof enclosed shell, blocking the contact path between ignition sources and explosive media, and are fundamental equipment for ensuring the safe operation of electrical systems in hazardous locations. The cable entry point is a critical weak point in the integrity of the explosion-proof shell, requiring it to simultaneously meet multiple functions such as cable insertion, mechanical locking, medium sealing, and explosion-proof flame extinguishing. Its structural reliability directly determines the overall safety performance of the explosion-proof control box.
[0003] The cable entry system of existing explosion-proof control boxes generally adopts a structure of explosion-proof gland head combined with cylindrical elastic seal: the gland head body is assembled into the cable entry hole of the box through a threaded structure, the cylindrical seal is housed inside, and a screw-on compression nut is set at the end. During installation and wiring, after the cable is passed through the gland head and the cylindrical seal, the compression nut is tightened to push it axially, applying a continuous axial compression force to the cylindrical seal, forcing the seal to expand and deform radially, tightly gripping the outer sheath of the cable inward and tightly adhering to the inner wall of the qualified gland outward, thereby filling the annular gap between the cable and the gland head, simultaneously achieving axial anti-loosening locking of the cable and sealing isolation at the cable entry point, together with the threaded explosion-proof pair of the gland head, forming a complete explosion-proof barrier for the cable entry point.
[0004] However, in practical industrial applications, many explosion-proof control boxes need to be installed in environments with continuous mechanical vibration, such as pumps, conveyor units, and vibrating screens. Under long-term alternating vibration loads, the threaded fit between the clamping nut and the gland body will gradually loosen, and the axial clamping force will continuously decrease with operating time. When the vibration intensity is high or the duration is long, the loosening of the clamping nut will continue to intensify, and it may even completely unscrew and fall off the gland body, completely losing its axial constraint and compression effect on the cylindrical seal.
[0005] When the clamping nut loosens or falls off, the cylindrical elastic seal loses axial pressure and rebounds elastically, its radial expansion disappears, and a new through-hole annular gap is formed between its inner wall and the cable outer sheath, and between its outer wall and the inner wall of the gland. External explosive gases, ultrafine combustible dust, and corrosive media can continuously seep into the enclosure along this annular gap, gradually transforming the originally safe chamber into an explosive hazardous environment. Ignition sources such as electric arcs generated by the operation of internal electrical components and terminal overheating will directly cause an explosion risk. Summary of the Invention

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the explosion-proof control box of the present invention includes an explosion-proof box 1; a wiring mechanism is installed at the bottom of the explosion-proof box 1; The wiring mechanism includes a fixed cylinder 11, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the explosion-proof box 1, with the top of the fixed cylinder 11 extending into the interior of the explosion-proof box 1 and the bottom of the fixed cylinder 11 extending below the explosion-proof box 1. The fixed cylinder 11 is filled with multiple sealing block groups that fit together vertically, with the uppermost sealing block group extending above the fixed cylinder 11 and the lowermost sealing block group having a distance between it and the bottom of the fixed cylinder 11. Each of the sealing block groups includes two sealing blocks 12 that fit together, and the sealing blocks 12 are made of rubber material; the sealing blocks 12 that fit together are semi-circular, and have grooves on opposite sides; Each sealing block 12 is provided with a through groove 13, and the through grooves 13 of the upper and lower sealing blocks 12 correspond to each other; a guide rod 14 is provided in the through groove 13, and the top of the guide rod 14 extends to the top of the uppermost sealing block 12, and the bottom extends to the middle of the lowermost sealing block 12, and the guide rod 14 and the through groove 13 are interference fit. The guide rod 14 has vertical grooves 2 on both sides located in the side wall of the fixed cylinder 11; A sliding rod 21 is slidably installed in the vertical groove 2, and its top and bottom extend to the top and bottom of the fixed cylinder 11. Both sliding rods 21 have notches on opposite sides, and a first locking block 22 slides in the notch via a spring; in the initial state, the first locking block 22 is located in the notch; the vertical groove 2 has through grooves 23 on both sides outside the fixed cylinder 11, and the through grooves 23 are located at the bottom of the explosion-proof box 1 and aligned with the notch. The two sliding rods 21 are provided with upright rods 3 on opposite sides, and sliders 31 slide on the upright rods 3, and the sliders 31 are in contact with the top of the uppermost sealing block assembly; a spring is sleeved on the upright rods 3, and the spring is located below the sliders 31. The slide bar 21 is mounted on the slider 31; the guide rod 14 passes through the slider 31 and is slidably connected to the slider 31; the guide rod 14 is connected to the upright rod 3 via a connecting assembly. A locking assembly is installed at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 11; In this embodiment, the locking assembly includes an octagonal nut 4; the fixing cylinder 11 is threaded on one side of the bottom of the explosion-proof box 1, and the octagonal nut 4 is engaged on the thread; An L-shaped plate 41 is installed at the bottom of the octagonal nut 4, and the L-shaped plate 41 is staggered with the two slide rods 21, and the horizontal part of the bottom of the L-shaped plate 41 is lower than the slide rods 21; The inner ring of the fixed cylinder 11 is also threaded, and the thread of the inner ring of the fixed cylinder 11 is opposite to the thread of the inner ring of the fixed cylinder 11; the bottom of the fixed cylinder 11 is connected to the threaded cylinder 43 in the inner thread of the fixed cylinder 11, and the thread of the outer ring of the threaded cylinder 43 is opposite to the thread of the inner ring of the octagonal nut 4. An octagonal cylinder 44 is fixed to the bottom of the threaded cylinder 43; a connecting plate 45 is fixed to the bottom of the octagonal cylinder 44; slots are provided on the horizontal part of the bottom of the connecting plate 45 and the L-shaped plate 41, and after the connecting plate 45 and the slot on the L-shaped plate 41 are aligned, they are connected by inserting the first insert shaft 46 into the slot. In this embodiment, the bottom of the octagonal nut 4 is fixed with a slide cylinder 42, and the L-shaped plates 41 slide within the corresponding slide cylinder 42, and the L-shaped plates 41 cannot slide out of the slide cylinder 42.
[0023] In practice, when using the explosion-proof control box, first install the explosion-proof box 1 in a suitable position, complete the wiring of the internal electrical components of the explosion-proof box 1, and then perform the introduction of the external cable 18. First, pull the first insert shaft 46 out of the slot aligned on the L-shaped plate 41 and the connecting plate 45 to disconnect the connection between the octagonal nut 4 and the octagonal cylinder 44. Since the external thread of the outer ring of the fixed cylinder 11 and the internal thread of the inner ring of the fixed cylinder 11 have opposite rotation directions, the octagonal nut 4 engages with the outer ring thread of the fixed cylinder 11, and the threaded cylinder 43 engages with the inner ring thread of the fixed cylinder 11. The rotation directions of the threads that fit the two are opposite. Therefore, rotate the octagonal cylinder 44 and the threaded cylinder 43 clockwise. When the threaded cylinder 43 is turned out, the threaded cylinder 43 will gradually turn downward along the inner thread of the fixed cylinder 11; after the threaded cylinder 43 has completely turned out from the inside of the fixed cylinder 11, the cable 18 to be connected is inserted from the bottom of the octagonal cylinder 44, passes through the inner cavity of the octagonal cylinder 44 and the inner cavity of the threaded cylinder 43 in sequence, and then enters the inside of the fixed cylinder 11 from the bottom opening; the cable 18 passes through multiple sets of upper and lower sealing block groups from bottom to top in the fixed cylinder 11, is embedded in the wire groove between two relatively close sealing blocks 12 in each set of sealing blocks 12, and finally passes out from the top of the uppermost sealing block group, enters the explosion-proof box 1 and completes the connection with the electrical components inside the box; Specifically, after the cable 18 is connected, both sliders 31 are pressed down simultaneously. The sliders 31 slide down along the upright 3, synchronously driving the slide rod 21 and the uppermost sealing block assembly to move down along the guide rod 14. At the same time, the sliders 31 compress the spring sleeved on the upright 3. During the downward movement of the slide rod 21, it slides down along the vertical groove 2 on the side wall of the fixed cylinder 11, driving the first locking block 22 in the notch of the slide rod 21 to move down synchronously. When the first locking block 22 moves down with the slide rod 21 to a position below the lower end face of the octagonal nut 4, the spring in the notch releases its elastic force, pushing the first locking block 22 out of the notch and into the through groove 23. At this time, the pressure on the slider 31 is released, and the spring on the upright rod 3 rebounds upward, pushing the slider 31. The slider 31 drives the sliding rod 21 and the first locking block 22 to move upward, so that the upper end face of the first locking block 22 abuts against the lower end face of the octagonal nut 4, forming a locking limit, which restricts the sliding rod 21 and the slider 31 from rebounding to reset. Thus, the slider 31 forms a pre-tightening constraint on multiple groups of sealing blocks from top to bottom. During this process, the guide rod 14 passes through the through groove 13 of each sealing block 12 and is interference-fitted with the through groove 13, providing guidance for the up and down movement of the sealing block 12 and ensuring that multiple groups of sealing blocks always remain coaxially aligned. More specifically, after the pre-tightening limit is completed, the top of the threaded cylinder 43 is aligned with the inner ring opening at the bottom of the fixed cylinder 11. The octagonal cylinder 44 and the threaded cylinder 43 are rotated counterclockwise, so that the threaded cylinder 43 is gradually screwed upward into the fixed cylinder 11 along the inner ring thread. The top of the threaded cylinder 43 gradually moves upward and fits against the bottom of the lowest sealing block group. The octagonal cylinder 44 is rotated counterclockwise, and the threaded cylinder 43 continues to move upward, applying an axial compressive force from bottom to top to the multiple sets of sealing block groups stacked above. Since the slider 31 has formed an upper limit by engaging with the octagonal nut 4 through the first locking block 22, the axial compressive force of the threaded cylinder 43 will cause the sealing blocks 12 in each set of sealing blocks to be compressed and undergo radial expansion deformation. The sealing blocks 12 contract inward to hug the outer sheath of the cable 18 and expand outward to fit tightly against the inner ring wall of the fixed cylinder 11, filling the annular gap between the cable 18 and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 11, forming a multi-point sealing and locking structure at the corresponding positions of the multiple sets of sealing block groups. Furthermore, during the rotation of the octagonal cylinder 44 and the threaded cylinder 43, the L-shaped plate 41 can be pushed upwards, allowing the L-shaped plate 41 to slide upwards along the slide cylinder 42 to accommodate the height change of the octagonal cylinder 44 after the threaded cylinder 43 is screwed into the fixed cylinder 11. After the threaded cylinder 43 presses against the sealing block 12 and forms a stable seal in the fixed cylinder 11, the octagonal cylinder 44 is rotated to adjust its circumferential position, so that the slots on the bottom connecting plate 45 of the octagonal cylinder 44 are aligned with the slots on the bottom horizontal part of the L-shaped plate 41. Then, the first insert shaft 46 is inserted into the aligned slots to achieve circumferential fixation of the octagonal nut 4 and the octagonal cylinder 44, so that the two form a synchronously rotating linkage. At this point, the cable 18 wiring operation is completed. Furthermore, if the vibration causes the octagonal nut 4 to loosen counterclockwise, the octagonal nut 4 will move downward along the outer thread of the fixed cylinder 11 when it rotates counterclockwise; the first locking block 22 is located on the lower end face of the octagonal nut 4 and abuts against it, which can directly block the downward displacement of the octagonal nut 4 and suppress its loosening tendency; if the vibration intensity is large, the octagonal nut 4 will move downward and push the first locking block 22 downward synchronously. The first locking block 22 drives the slide rod 21 and the slider 31 to move downward synchronously. The slider 31 further squeezes the uppermost sealing block group, increases the axial compression of the sealing block 12, and increases the radial expansion of the sealing block 12. The tightness of the fit with the cable 18 and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 11 is increased synchronously, realizing the self-compensation effect of the greater the loosening amount and the stronger the sealing pressure, avoiding small loosening from causing sealing gaps; Meanwhile, since the octagonal nut 4 and the octagonal cylinder 44 are circumferentially linked through the first insert shaft 46, and the threads of the two are opposite in direction, the loosening tendency can be mutually restrained: if the octagonal nut 4 is subjected to vibration and has a counterclockwise loosening tendency, it will drive the octagonal cylinder 44 and the threaded cylinder 43 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously through the L-shaped plate 41, the first insert shaft 46, and the connecting plate 45; and the counterclockwise rotation of the threaded cylinder 43 is the tightening direction, which will further screw into the fixed cylinder 11, increasing the pressure on the sealing block 12 from below; conversely, if the threaded cylinder 43 is subjected to vibration and has a clockwise loosening tendency, it will drive the octagonal nut 4 to rotate clockwise synchronously; and the clockwise rotation of the octagonal nut 4 is the tightening direction, and the upper end face of the octagonal nut 4 is in contact with the bottom of the explosion-proof box 1 and cannot move further upward, thus directly locking the loosening tendency of the threaded cylinder 43; the two restrain each other, which can effectively prevent the octagonal nut 4 or the threaded cylinder 43 from loosening and falling off under vibration environment; Therefore, through the cooperation of the octagonal nut 4, L-shaped plate 41, connecting plate 45, octagonal cylinder 44 and threaded cylinder 43, the hidden danger of the sealing block 12 losing its compressive force due to the loosening of the clamping components and forming a through annular gap between the sealing block 12 and the inner wall of the cable 18 and the fixed cylinder 11 can be avoided. This blocks the path of external explosive gases, ultrafine combustible dust and corrosive media to seep into the box body along the gap, prevents the safe chamber inside the box from turning into an explosive hazardous environment, and improves the operational safety and sealing reliability of the explosion-proof control box under vibration conditions.
[0024] As an embodiment of the present invention, a semi-ring plate 15 is fixed to the top of each sealing block 12; a through hole aligned with the through groove 13 is provided on the semi-ring block; In this embodiment, two insert rods 16 are fixed to the side of one of the semi-ring plates 15; the other semi-ring plate 15 has an insertion hole 17 on its side, and the insert rods 16 are inserted into the insertion hole 17.
[0025] During implementation, a semi-ring plate 15 is fixed to the top of each sealing block 12. During the process of the threaded cylinder 43 being screwed into the fixed cylinder 11 and applying axial compressive force to multiple sets of sealing blocks 12, the upper and lower adjacent sealing blocks 12 transmit the compressive force through the semi-ring plate 15. As a rigid support structure, the semi-ring plate 15 can form a uniform and flat support and compression on the end face of the elastic sealing block 12, avoiding local depression and stress dispersion on the end face of the sealing block 12 when it is compressed. This allows the axial compressive force on the sealing block 12 to be fully converted into radial expansion deformation, thereby better shrinking inward to tightly hug the outer sheath of the cable 18 and expanding outward to tightly fit the inner ring wall of the fixed cylinder 11. Meanwhile, in the two semi-ring plates 15 corresponding to the two sealing blocks 12 that fit together in the same group, one semi-ring plate 15 has two insert rods 16 fixed on its side, and the other semi-ring plate 15 has an insertion hole 17 on its corresponding side. During assembly, the insert rods 16 are inserted into the insertion hole 17, so that the two relatively fitted sealing blocks 12 form a lateral and circumferential positioning constraint. When the sealing block 12 moves downward along the guide rod 14 or is deformed by axial compression, the insertion of the insert rods 16 and the insertion hole 17 can limit the relative displacement between the two sealing blocks 12, so that the sealing blocks 12 that fit together move downward synchronously and always maintain a fitted and aligned state.
[0026] As an embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the two sliding rods 21 are provided with sliding holes, and an extension rod 24 slides in the sliding holes; The outer ring of the top of the extension rod 24 is threaded; the inner ring of the top of the sliding hole is also threaded. In this embodiment, the two notches are also provided with evenly arranged notches above the slide bar 21; A second block 25 slides in the notch above the first block 22 via a spring, and the second block 25 is restricted in the notch by the vertical groove 2.
[0027] During implementation, each of the two sliding rods 21 has a sliding hole at its bottom, and an extension rod 24 is slidably installed inside the sliding hole. After the explosion-proof control box completes the wiring and sealing of the cable 18, the extension rod 24 is rotated so that the external thread at the top of the extension rod 24 disengages from the internal thread at the top of the sliding hole. The extension rod 24 slides downward along the sliding hole under its own weight, and is not completely slid out of the sliding hole due to the structural constraint of the sliding hole. At this time, the rod body of the extension rod 24 extends downward out of the sliding hole and is located between two adjacent L-shaped plates 41, forming a physical block on the circumferential rotation of the L-shaped plates 41. Specifically, since the octagonal cylinder 44 and the threaded cylinder 43 are hollow structures, the bottom surface of the sealing block assembly located at the bottom will be in direct contact with the external environment. Under long-term use, they are prone to aging and shrinkage. At the same time, the sealing block assembly at the bottom will be in direct contact with flammable dust or corrosive media, which is also prone to damage and failure. When the existing structure using gland head and cylindrical seal has such problems, the cable 18 must first be removed from the electrical components, then the old cylindrical seal must be removed from the end of the cable 18, and finally the new cylindrical seal must be put on the cable 18 to complete the replacement. The operation process is cumbersome. More specifically, when replacing the sealing block assembly that comes into contact with the outside world in this wiring mechanism, firstly, pull the first insert shaft 46 out of the slot aligned on the L-shaped plate 41 and the connecting plate 45 to release the linkage between the octagonal nut 4 and the octagonal cylinder 44; then rotate the octagonal cylinder 44 and the threaded cylinder 43 clockwise, so that the threaded cylinder 43 gradually screws downward along the thread of the inner ring of the fixed cylinder 11, completing the disassembly of the threaded cylinder 43; then open the door of the explosion-proof box 1, and simultaneously press down on the two sliders 31 from inside the box. The two sliders 31 drive the slide rod 21 and the uppermost sealing block assembly along the guide... As rod 14 continues to move downward, slide rod 21 moves downward, causing the second locking block 25 in the upper notch to move downward synchronously. When the second locking block 25 moves to a position below the lower end face of the octagonal nut 4, it is no longer constrained by the inner wall of the vertical groove 2. The spring in the notch releases its elastic force, pushing the second locking block 25 outward from the inside of the notch. At this time, the pressing force on slider 31 is released, and the upper end face of the second locking block 25 will abut against the lower end face of the octagonal nut 4, forming a new locking limit, so that slide rod 21 and slider 31 are kept in the position after moving downward, without the need to continuously apply pressing force. More specifically, as the slider 31 pushes multiple sets of sealing blocks down along the guide rod 14, the sealing block set that was originally at the bottom will fall off from the bottom of the guide rod 14 and detach from the internal cavity of the fixed cylinder 11. At this time, the two sealing blocks 12 that are in contact with each other can be directly removed from the cable 18 to complete the removal of the failed sealing block 12. After installing the new sealing block set, the reverse operation is performed to reset, and the sealing replacement can be completed. The entire process does not require the cable 18 to be removed from the electrical components inside the explosion-proof box 1. Furthermore, addressing the issue that the bottom sealing block assembly is in direct contact with external combustible dust and corrosive media, making it prone to aging, shrinkage, and failure, this structure can push the sealing block assembly downwards as a whole, allowing the failed bottom sealing block assembly to be directly detached and removed from the bottom of the guide rod 14. This eliminates the need to remove the cable 18 from the electrical components inside the box or to insert the seal from the end of the cable 18 for replacement. This solves the shortcomings of existing gland heads and cylindrical seals, which require the removal of the cable 18, resulting in cumbersome procedures and long downtime. It effectively reduces the difficulty of operation and maintenance and maintenance costs.
[0028] As an embodiment of the present invention; the slide bar 21 passes through the slider 31; the slider 31 has a through hole 32 on its side, and the slide bar 21 also has a through hole 32; a crossbar 33 is inserted into the through hole 32 of the slider 31 and the slide bar 21; The crossbar 33 is provided with second insert shafts 34 on both sides; The connecting assembly includes a rectangular clamping plate 35; both the guide rod 14 and the upright rod 3 are provided with rectangular slots 36, and the rectangular clamping plate 35 is inserted into the rectangular slots 36 of both the guide rod 14 and the upright rod 3. Both the top of the guide rod 14 and the upright rod 3 are threaded with locking bolts 37; In this embodiment, a sealing layer is installed on the inner ring of the vertical groove 2.
[0029] During implementation, since the sliding rod 21 passes through the inside of the slider 31, and the slider 31 has a through hole 32 on its side, the corresponding position on the sliding rod 21 also has a through hole 32. When the sliding rod 21 and the slider 31 are adjusted to the preset position and the two sets of through holes 32 are aligned with each other, the crossbar 33 is inserted into the through hole 32 of the slider 31 and the sliding rod 21 that are aligned with each other, so as to realize the lateral connection and fixation of the slider 31 and the sliding rod 21. The two sides of the crossbar 33 are provided with second insert shafts 34, which can form an axial limit on the crossbar 33 to prevent the crossbar 33 from slipping out of the through hole 32 of the slider 31 and the sliding rod 21 during equipment vibration or operation, so as to ensure that the connection and fixation state of the slider 31 and the sliding rod 21 is stable and reliable. Since the inner ring of the vertical groove 2 is equipped with a sealing layer, the sealing layer is attached to the outer surface of the sliding rod 21, which can form a sealing barrier between the sliding rod 21 and the vertical groove 2, preventing external smoke, dust and other media from entering the explosion-proof box 1 through the gap of the vertical groove 2. Specifically, when it is necessary to add sealing block groups to the fixed cylinder 11, after all the original sealing block groups have slid into the fixed cylinder 11, first open the door of the explosion-proof box 1; then rotate the locking bolt 37 so that the locking bolt 37 is turned upwards, no longer forming a squeezing and fixing effect on the rectangular clamping plate 35; then pull the rectangular clamping plate 35 out of the rectangular groove 36 of the upright 3 and the rectangular groove 36 of the guide rod 14 at the same time, releasing the connection constraint between the guide rod 14 and the upright 3; then pull the second insert shaft 34 out from both sides of the crossbar 33 to release the axial limit of the crossbar 33, and then pull the crossbar 33 out from the through hole 32 of the slider 31 and the slide rod 21 to release the lateral fixation between the slider 31 and the slide rod 21; then slide the slider 31 upwards along the upright 3, the guide rod 14 and the slide rod 21, so that the slider 31 is completely separated from the upright 3, the slide rod 21 and the guide rod 14, and moved out of the upper area of the fixed cylinder 11; More specifically, the second locking block 25 is then manually pressed back into the notch to release the locking limit between the second locking block 25 and the octagonal nut 4. Then, the slide rod 21 is pushed upward to slide upward along the vertical groove 2 back to its initial position. Next, the new sealing blocks 12 are placed in pairs to insert the insertion rod 16 on the corresponding half-ring plate 15 into the insertion hole 17 of the other half-ring plate 15, thus completing the assembly of a single sealing block group. Then, the guide rod 14 is inserted into the through groove 13 of the sealing block group, and the sealing block group is pushed downward along the guide rod 14 until it is in contact with the top surface of the sealing block group below, thus completing the replenishment of the sealing block group. Furthermore, after the sealing block 12 is replenished, the slider 31 is once again fitted onto the upright 3, the slide rod 21, and the guide rod 14. The position is adjusted so that the through hole 32 of the slider 31 and the slide rod 21 are aligned with each other. The crossbar 33 is inserted, and the second insert shaft 34 is inserted on both sides of the crossbar 33 to fix the slide rod 21 inside the slider 31. Then, the rectangular clamping plate 35 is inserted into the rectangular groove 36 of the upright 3 and the guide rod 14 at the same time to connect the upright 3 and the guide rod 14 and fix the position of the guide rod 14. Finally, the locking bolt 37 is tightened to lock and fix the rectangular clamping plate 35. After the structure is reset, the equipment can continue to be put into use. Furthermore, through the detachable slider 31, crossbar 33 and rectangular card plate 35 connection design, combined with the detachable sealing block assembly structure, the sealing block assembly can be replenished and the failed seals replaced from inside the box without disassembling the cable 18 or removing the cable 18 from the electrical components inside the box. This eliminates the need to shut down the entire explosion-proof control box and disconnect the power, as well as the need to disassemble the overall wiring mechanism and external wiring, thus reducing the downtime for seal maintenance.
