[0021] The utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0022] like Figures 1-3 The shipboard positive pressure explosion-proof shore power connection space shown includes:
[0023] The positive pressure explosion-proof box 100 has an outer shell made of metal materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel. The outer shell has sufficient mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The interior has a closed space and is filled with compressible inert gas to maintain a positive pressure state. The positive pressure explosion-proof box 100 is filled with compressible inert gas through an automatic air supply and pressure regulating device 600. The automatic air supply and pressure regulating device includes an inert gas filling pipeline 610, and the inert gas filling pipeline 610 is provided with a No. 2 explosion-proof valve 620.
[0024] The airtight door 200 can be opened / closed and is set on the positive pressure explosion-proof box 100. It can be used for personnel to enter and exit. In the closed state, it can withstand an air pressure of 0.2Mpa. The airtight door 200 has a limit switch 220 to detect the opening state of the airtight door and ensure that the airtight door is in a closed state when the power is on. The airtight door 200 is provided with a shore power cable through-hole 210 for conveying control cables; Figure 4 The shore power cable through-hole 210 shown is located on the edge of the openable side of the airtight door 200. The shore power cable through-hole 210 includes two symmetrical semicircular connectors 211. The two semicircular connectors 211 are fixedly connected by bolts 212 on the end plates on both sides and enclose a circular through-hole. A rubber sealing gasket 213 is matched in the circular through-hole.
[0025] The fan ventilation device 300 includes an air intake pipe 310 connected to the enclosed space, and an exhaust pipe 320 connected to the enclosed space through an explosion-proof valve fan 340. The air intake pipe 310 and the exhaust pipe 320 are both provided with a No. 1 explosion-proof valve 330. The fan ventilation device 300 is used to control gas emissions, especially after the replacement of dangerous gases is completed, the shore power socket box can be connected to the power supply. In this embodiment, the diameter of the air intake pipe 310 and the exhaust pipe 320 is 1000 cm 3 The volume of the positive pressure shell is not less than 1cm 2 To calculate, to ensure adequate purging within the appropriate time.
[0026] The pressure sensor 400 is arranged in the closed space of the positive pressure explosion-proof box 100. The pressure sensor can detect the pressure value in the space by using inert gas as the gas source to maintain a slightly positive pressure state.
[0027] The shore power socket box 500 is arranged on the positive pressure explosion-proof box 100 to connect the cable between the dock shore power and the ship shore power box.
[0028] Meanwhile, at the top of the enclosed space of the positive pressure explosion-proof box body 100, there are a lamp 700 and an image acquisition device 800; the lamp 700 provides illumination, and the image acquisition device 800 ensures that there is no one in the place when it is in the powered-on state.
[0029] The utility model is a shipborne positive pressure explosion-proof type shore power connection place, and its working principle revolves around the following process: Establishment of a positive pressure environment: Compressible inert gas is filled into the positive pressure explosion-proof box body 100 through an automatic air replenishment and pressure regulation device 600 to maintain the positive pressure state inside the box body. Specifically, the inert gas passes through an inert gas filling pipeline 610 and enters the box body through a second explosion-proof valve 620.
[0030] Air pressure monitoring and regulation: A pressure sensor 400 is used to monitor the pressure value inside the positive pressure explosion-proof box body 100 to ensure that it is in a slightly positive pressure state. The automatic air replenishment and pressure regulation device 600 automatically adjusts the inflation volume according to the signal of the pressure sensor to maintain a constant positive pressure environment.
[0031] Safety protection and operation: The opening state of the airtight door 200 is detected by a limit switch 220. Only when the airtight door is completely closed can the electrical system be powered on, thus ensuring the safety of the operator. A fan ventilation device 300 is used to purge the internal environment before operation to remove dangerous gases and ensure the safety of operation.
[0032] It should be noted that among them, the pressure sensor, shore power socket box, lamp, image acquisition device, limit switch, first explosion-proof valve, and second explosion-proof valve all adopt commercially available devices. The control system on the ship will automatically adjust the operation of the automatic air replenishment and pressure regulation device 600 according to the signal of the pressure sensor 400 to maintain a positive pressure environment. The control system will also control the power on and off of the shore power system according to the signal of the limit switch 220 to ensure operation under the condition that the airtight door is closed. The start and stop of the fan ventilation device 300 are also automatically controlled by the control system according to the operation requirements to ensure power connection operation in a safe environment.

Through the explosion-proof design of the positive pressure explosion-proof box body 100, which is made of metal materials to ensure sufficient mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, and maintains a positive pressure state inside, effectively preventing external explosive gases from entering the box body. The use of the automatic air replenishment and pressure regulating device 600 and the explosion-proof valve 620 ensures a continuous slightly positive pressure state inside the box, avoiding the accumulation of explosive gases inside the box. The pressure sensor 400 monitors the internal pressure of the box body, and the automatic air replenishment and pressure regulating device 600 adjusts the air filling amount according to the signal of the pressure sensor to maintain the positive pressure state. The limit switch 220 detects the opening state of the airtight door 200 to ensure that the electrical system can be powered on only when the airtight door is closed.
