Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an explosion-proof power supply device. Background Art

[0002] Existing explosion-proof power supply devices, such as those available on the market, place the entire lead-acid battery in an explosion-proof box and seal it, but its use is not safe because the battery itself will release hydrogen and oxygen during use or charging. As the concentration of hydrogen and oxygen in the box increases, it may explode when exposed to high temperature.

[0003] Another example is an explosion-proof battery developed by our company in the early stage, with the patent publication number CN217768803U. It does not encapsulate the entire lead-acid battery in a flameproof package, but performs local spark contact explosion-proof treatment on the electrical contacts between the lead-acid battery and the cable. The hydrogen and oxygen released during use can be dispersed in time, and the structure is simple, which is suitable for use in explosion-proof places where hydrogen and oxygen release are allowed. However, if there is an open flame in the surrounding environment, the lead-acid battery shell will be burned through, and the sulfuric acid electrolyte in the lead-acid battery may leak out. The sulfuric acid electrolyte will further intensify the fire and produce toxic gases, which also poses certain safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a safer explosion-proof power supply device that can be used in explosion-proof places where hydrogen and oxygen are evolved. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] As shown in the accompanying drawings, an explosion-proof power supply device includes a battery box 1 composed of a box body 11 and a box cover 12 which are fixedly connected by screws, a lead-acid battery unit 2 placed in the battery box 1, and a power cable.

[0025] The lead-acid battery unit 2 includes a plurality of lead-acid batteries 21 connected in series via positive and negative electrodes of cables. Each series connection joint is encapsulated, and one end of the corresponding power cable is respectively connected to the positive electrode column and the negative electrode column of the lead-acid battery unit 2 and then encapsulated.

[0026] The power cable can be connected to the explosion-proof junction box. When in use, the external cable can be connected to the power cable in the explosion-proof junction box. The power cable can also be directly extended outward through the explosion-proof cable clamping sealing joint and then connected to the explosion-proof junction box of the relevant equipment for wiring.

[0027] A battery ring 111 is integrally formed on the inner bottom side wall of the box 11. Four lead-acid batteries 21 are arranged side by side in the battery ring 111, and a POM spacing block 4 is arranged at the bottom between each two adjacent lead-acid batteries 21, so that there is also a gap between the adjacent lead-acid batteries 21. A gap space 1b is formed between the lead-acid battery 21 and the side wall of the box 11 to provide a space for the lead-acid battery 21 to swell and spread to the surrounding area. The battery positioning mechanism 3 that stabilizes the lead-acid battery 21 includes two stainless steel pressure strips 31 pressed on all the lead-acid batteries 21, and the stainless steel pressure strips 31 are fixed to the bottom wall of the box 11 by multiple screws 32. That is, the lead-acid battery unit 2 is fixed to the bottom wall of the box 11.

[0028] A plurality of exhaust holes 1a are respectively provided on the box body 11 and the box cover 12, and an upper cavity space 1c is formed between the upper part of the lead-acid battery unit 2 and the box cover 12. The plurality of exhaust holes 1a are provided on the side wall of the box body 11 corresponding to the box cover 12 and the upper cavity space 1c, so that the hydrogen and / or oxygen exhausted from the lead-acid battery unit 2 can pass upward through the upper cavity space 1c and then be discharged outward through the exhaust holes 1a.

[0029] The battery box 1 is made of stainless steel or carbon steel, which effectively isolates open flames and further prevents the lead-acid battery 21 from leaking sulfuric acid electrolyte. After the hydrogen and oxygen in the battery box 1 are discharged, open flames are not enough to enter the battery box through the exhaust hole 1a, making it safer to use.

[0030] A bulge transmission body 5 is arranged in the gap space 1b between the two sides of the lead-acid battery unit 2 and the corresponding side wall of the box 11. The bulge transmission body 5 has a horizontal reminder pin 51. A bulge reminder hole 52 is arranged on the side wall of the box 11. The reminder pin 51 is inserted into the bulge reminder hole 52. An elastic member is arranged between the bulge transmission body 5 and the side wall of the box 11 to push the bulge transmission body 5 to the side of the lead-acid battery unit 2, that is, when the lead-acid battery 21 does not bulge, the reminder pin 51 retracts. When the lead-acid battery unit 2 bulges, the bulge transmission body 5 overcomes the elastic force of the elastic member, so that the reminder pin 51 extends out of the bulge reminder hole 52. It is convenient for users to understand the bad condition of the lead-acid battery 21 in time. Timely maintenance or replacement.

[0031] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
