[0002] Explosion-proof boxes are flameproof equipment enclosures used by electrical equipment in explosive environments. They are often used in underground mines, dusty environments, or environments with flammable gases. Traditional explosion-proof boxes only perform simple controls such as switches, or use wiring connections of electrical components to achieve simple logic controls such as interlocking and self-locking. After this type of explosion-proof box is manufactured and installed, it is generally not considered to be disassembled for upgrading.
[0003] However, as the automation level of electrical equipment becomes higher and higher, the control system in the explosion-proof box also keeps pace with the times, and needs to use programmable logic controller PLC for complex automatic control.
[0004] Because the control logic of PLC is more complex and can be programmed, it is often necessary to reprogram it and upgrade the internal control logic in industry. However, this automation system is installed in a completely sealed explosion-proof box, and it is impossible to input the program into the PLC, making it difficult to upgrade and modify the program.

[0010] Preferably, a window is provided on the upper surface of the box cover, and a transparent cover plate covers the window to form an observation window; and the display is fixed on the inner surface of the cover plate.
[0011] Preferably, the magnetic card reader is installed next to the display on the inner side of the cover plate.
[0012] The upper surface of the box cover is provided with a plug hole, the bottom of the button is provided with a columnar plug post, the button is inserted into the plug hole, and a magnet is fixed at the bottom of the plug post.

[0034] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific implementation described here is only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and is not used to limit the present invention.
[0035] In the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the directional words such as "upper" and "lower" usually refer to the orientation in the assembled state. "Inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0036] The utility model provides an input sealed explosion-proof box, comprising a sealed box body 1 and a box cover 2, wherein a controller 3 is arranged inside the explosion-proof box, the controller 3 is electrically connected to an input system and a display 10, and the box cover 2 comprises an input area and a display window.
[0037] The display window is made of a transparent material, and the display 10 is arranged on the inner surface of the display window of the box cover 2 and faces the display window.
[0038] The input system is arranged in the input area of the box cover 2, and the input system includes a plurality of buttons 4 installed on the outer surface of the box body 1, and an identification circuit board 5 installed on the inner surface of the box body 1, and the identification circuit board 5 is electrically connected to the controller 3; the buttons 4 can move up and down and a magnet 6 is arranged at the bottom of the buttons 4, and a magnetic sensitive transistor 5a cooperating with the magnet 6 is arranged on the identification circuit board 5, and the buttons 4 correspond to the magnetic sensitive transistor 5a one by one.
[0039] The box body 1 and the box cover 2 of the explosion-proof box are prior art, and are generally made of aluminum or engineering plastics. The controller 3 is usually a programmable logic controller 3, that is, a plc, or an embedded control system can also be used. When the input system modifies the control program in the controller 3, the display 10 needs to display a graphical interface to facilitate the operator to observe the program content. Therefore, since the display 10 needs to be directly connected to the controller 3, the display 10 is installed in the box body 1, as shown in the following figure. Figure 2 As shown in: the display 10 is fixed on the inner side of the box cover 2. The box cover 2 above the display 10 can be changed into a transparent material so that the content of the display 10 can be viewed from the outside.
[0040] The upper surface of the box cover 2 is provided with a window, and the window is covered with a transparent cover plate 8 to form an observation window; the display 10 is fixed on the inner surface of the cover plate 8. The material of the cover plate 8 is tempered glass, or high-strength transparent engineering plastic. The magnetic card identifier 7 is installed next to the display 10 on the inner side of the cover plate 8. Therefore, the card identifier can be directly seen from the outside. It is convenient for the operator holding the magnetic card to align the magnetic card with the magnetic card identifier 7.
[0041] Generally, it is necessary to punch a hole in the box body 1 or the box cover 2 to input the controller 3. This makes the processing more difficult. On the other hand, after a long time, the seal is also prone to aging, resulting in poor sealing. This is a fatal hidden danger for the explosion-proof box. Therefore, this application Figure 3 As shown in . A non-contact solution is adopted, and no holes are punched on the box cover 2. The sealing of the explosion-proof box is greatly improved. Specifically, the controller 3 is divided into an identification circuit board 5 installed in the box body 1 and a plurality of buttons 4 outside the box body 1, and the identification circuit board 5 is electrically connected to the controller 3. The button 4 is installed on the outside of the box cover 2, and the shell of the box cover 2 separates the identification circuit board 5 and the button 4. The button 4 moves up and down under human control. When the button 4 moves downward, it will approach the identification circuit board 5. A magnet 6 is installed at the bottom of the button 4, and a magnetic sensitive transistor 5a is installed at the identification circuit board 5 facing the magnet 6. When the button 4 approaches the identification circuit board 5, the magnetic field strength to which the magnetic sensitive transistor 5a is subjected increases, and the magnetic sensitive transistor 5a is set off, thereby recognizing that the button 4 is pressed.
[0042] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, in order to avoid accidental touch of the button 4 or irrelevant personnel modifying the control program of the controller 3. Therefore, the box cover 2 also includes a magnetic card recognition area, and a magnetic card identifier 7 is installed on the inner surface of the magnetic card recognition area of the box cover 2, and the magnetic card identifier 7 is electrically connected to the controller 3. Only a specific magnetic card can be recognized by the magnetic card identifier 7, and at this time, the button 4 can normally modify the control program of the controller 3. Otherwise, the button 4 is in an invalid state, thereby avoiding accidental touch of the button 4 to affect the normal operation of the controller 3.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the upper surface of the box cover 2 has a socket, and the bottom of the button 4 has a columnar plug, which is inserted into the socket, and a magnet 6 is fixed at the bottom of the plug; at the same time, the socket also has a function of restricting the movement direction of the button 4, and the button 4 can only move up and down along the axis of the socket. The magnetic sensitive transistor 5a corresponding to the button 4 on the identification circuit board 5 is located directly below the plug. That is, the magnetic sensitive transistor 5a is set on the axis of the socket.
[0044] A spring 9 is arranged between the bottom of the button 4 and the upper surface of the box cover 2. The spring 9 is a compression spring that bounces the button 4 upward. In order to prevent the button 4 from falling off, a fixing plate for fixing the button 4 is arranged on the box cover 2. Through holes corresponding to the buttons 4 are arranged on the fixing plate. The main body of the button 4 is arranged just below the through hole and the top passes through the through hole and extends to the top of the through hole; the button 4 has a flange protruding outward, and the flange is stuck under the through hole. The fixing plate is fixed to the outer surface of the box cover 2 with bolts.
[0045] In order to improve the sealing performance of the box body 1 and the box cover 2, the bottom of the box cover 2 is inserted into the box body 1 and is tightly attached to the inner surface of the side of the box body 1. The box cover 2 is provided with a flange, and the flange is pressed on the top of the box cover 2. The flange of the box cover 2 is provided with fastening bolts, which fix the box body 1 and the box cover 2.
[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention can be subjected to a variety of simple modifications, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
