In order to prevent the generation of static sparks, vehicles and ships must be well grounded through grounding clamps to discharge the static charge to the ground. The general practice is to use an intrinsically safe static grounding alarm. The power supply uses a disposable battery with a battery voltage of 3V.

[0014] Embodiment 1:

[0015] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the utility model provides an explosion-proof grounding alarm device, including an explosion-proof box 1 and a grounding clamp 2, the explosion-proof box 1 is provided with a power interface 11 and an explosion-proof interface 12, the explosion-proof interface 12 is electrically connected to the grounding clamp 2, the explosion-proof box 1 is provided with an audible and visual alarm 3, the audible and visual alarm 3 includes a buzzer HA and a flash indicator light L, and the grounding clamp 2 is provided with a first electrode P1 and a second electrode P2;

[0016] The explosion-proof box 1 is provided with a circuit board, and the circuit board is provided with a 24V terminal, a 0V / PE terminal, a DC / DC converter, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a diode DZ, an NPN transistor T, and a photoelectric coupler OC. The 24V terminal is electrically connected to the 24V interface of the DC / DC converter, one end of the second resistor R2, one end of the buzzer HA, and one end of the flash indicator light L, respectively. The 5V interface of the DC / DC converter is electrically connected to one end of the first resistor R1 and the negative electrode of the diode DZ, respectively. The other end of the first resistor R1 is electrically connected to the negative electrode of the diode DZ. The end is electrically connected to pin 1 of the photoelectric coupler OC, pin 2 of the photoelectric coupler OC is electrically connected to the first electrode P1, the second electrode P2 is electrically connected to the anode of the diode DZ, pin 4 of the photoelectric coupler OC, the emitter of the NPN transistor T, and the 0V / PE terminal respectively, the base of the NPN transistor T is electrically connected to one end of the third resistor R3, the other end of the third resistor R3 is electrically connected to pin 3 of the photoelectric coupler OC and the other end of the second resistor R2 respectively, and the collector of the NPN transistor T is electrically connected to the other end of the buzzer HA and the other end of the flash indicator light L respectively.

[0017] When in use, clamp the grounding clamp 2 on the metal parts of the vehicle body or hull. If there is an alarm, it proves that the contact is poor. It is necessary to reconnect or remove impurities on the surface of the metal parts until there is no sound or light alarm.

[0018] In industrial and mining enterprises, when vehicles and ships loading and unloading flammable and explosive materials are docked in explosion-proof areas, they must be grounded. If the grounding is poor or there is no grounding, static sparks may be generated. When the sparks encounter leaked flammable and explosive materials, fire or explosion may occur. This alarm device uses explosion-proof technology and instrument safety barrier voltage and current limiting principles to prevent sparks. It consists of an explosion-proof box 1, electronic circuits in the box, an audible and visual integrated alarm on the box, and a grounding clamp 2. It can work in explosion-proof areas. Connect the grounding clamp 2 to the metal body that needs to be grounded. The connected metal body is at the same potential as the earth, and the static electricity is discharged to the earth through the grounding clamp 2. When the grounding clamp 2 is in good contact with the metal body that needs to be grounded, the voltage at both ends of the grounding clamp 2 is very small, close to zero potential, so that the alarm drive circuit is in a locked state, and the alarm has no sound and light alarm output; when the grounding is poor, the two ends of the grounding clamp 2 are high level, triggering the alarm circuit to operate, and the alarm will send out sound and light alarms to prompt the on-site personnel to reconnect the ground; when the internal circuit fails, such as the internal circuit short circuit, the electric spark is controlled in the explosion-proof box 1; and the electric energy passing through the grounding clamp 2 is limited to less than 6V and less than 2mA. After voltage and current limiting, the energy flowing through the grounding clamp 2 is very small and insufficient to form electric sparks. The buzzer has a flashing indicator light, explosion-proof type, installed on the explosion-proof box 1, with a loud volume, can be used in a noisy environment, and the flashing indicator light is red, which is still very eye-catching in the daytime sunlight environment. The explosion-proof box 1 is flameproof, wall-mounted, and installed in a conspicuous place on site.

[0019] The working principle of one embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0020] The invention discloses an explosion-proof grounding alarm device. The power supply enters the circuit board through the 24V terminal and the 0V / PE terminal, and then passes through the DC / DC converter to obtain a 5V power supply. The 5V power supply is limited by the first resistor R1, isolated by the photoelectric coupler OC, and connected to two electrodes P1 and P2 of a grounding clamp 2. When the grounding clamp 2 is in an inactive state or in good contact with a metal body that needs to be grounded, P1 is connected with P2, current passes through OC, the output-end transistor of OC is turned on, the base of the NPN transistor T is pulled to a low level, T is not turned on, and the sound and light alarm 3 does not work. When the grounding clamp 2 is in poor contact with the metal body that needs to be grounded, P1 is not connected with P2, no current passes through OC, the output-end transistor of OC is turned off, the base of the transistor T is connected to the 24V power supply through R2 and R3, T is turned on, the sound and light alarm 3 is actuated, and a sound and light alarm is issued. The DC / DC power supply is used to reduce the voltage of the grounding clamp 2. DZ is a Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 6V. Its function is to prevent the 24V power supply from being connected to the grounding clamp 2 in series when a line fault occurs. Due to the effects of DC / DC, R1, and DZ, the voltage across the grounding clamp 2 will not exceed 6V, and the current will not exceed 2mA, thereby limiting the spark of the grounding clamp 2 from being insufficient to ignite inflammable and explosive items.
