[0032] Embodiment 1. Refer to Figures 1 to 3To describe this embodiment, this embodiment provides an intrinsically safe pilot module, which includes a remote button, a remote control cable, and a pilot controller;

[0033] The pilot controller includes a signal generation circuit, a signal discrimination circuit, an isolation drive circuit, and a relay module;

[0034] The remote button is used to be connected in series between the signal generation circuit and the signal discrimination circuit through the remote control cable;

[0035] The signal generation circuit is used to generate a pilot signal and send it to the signal discrimination circuit through the remote button and the remote control cable;

[0036] The signal discrimination circuit is used to provide a normal drive voltage for the isolation drive circuit according to the pilot signal;

[0037] The isolation drive circuit is used to drive the relay module to close under the action of the drive voltage.

[0038] When this embodiment is actually applied, as Figure 1 shown, the intrinsically safe pilot module includes a remote button, a remote control cable, and a pilot controller; the pilot controller includes a signal generation circuit, a signal discrimination circuit, an isolation drive circuit, and a relay module; the remote button is connected in series between the signal generation circuit and the signal discrimination circuit through the remote control cable, so that the signal generation circuit generates a pilot signal and sends it to the signal discrimination circuit through the remote button and the remote control cable, and the signal discrimination circuit provides a normal drive voltage for the isolation drive circuit according to the pilot signal, so that the isolation drive circuit drives the relay module to close under the action of the drive voltage, realizing driving the electrical module to close in the way of the pilot signal, so that when the remote control cable is open or short-circuited, the transmission of the pilot signal is blocked, avoiding the occurrence of personal injury accidents caused by the short circuit or open circuit of the remote control cable.

[0039] Embodiment 2. Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 To describe this embodiment, this embodiment gives an example of the signal discrimination circuit in an intrinsically safe pilot module described in Embodiment 1;

[0040] The signal discrimination circuit includes an A1 signal detection terminal, an A2 signal detection terminal, a capacitor, a second resistor, a second diode, and a third resistor;

[0041] The remote button is respectively connected to the A1 signal detection terminal and the A2 signal detection terminal through the remote control cable;

[0042] The output terminal of the signal generation circuit is connected to the A1 signal detection terminal. The A1 signal detection terminal is connected to the A2 signal detection terminal through a remote button. The A2 signal detection terminal is connected to the input end of the capacitor and the output end of the second diode and is in series with the third resistor. The output end of the capacitor is connected to the input end of the second resistor. The output end of the second resistor is connected to the input end of the second diode, so that the pilot signal generated by the signal generation circuit is sent to the signal discrimination circuit through the remote button and the remote control cable. The signal discrimination circuit provides a normal driving voltage for the isolation driving circuit according to the received pilot signal. The isolation driving circuit drives the relay module to close under the action of the driving voltage.

[0043] In actual application of this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the signal discrimination circuit includes an A1 signal detection terminal, an A2 signal detection terminal, a capacitor, a second resistor, a second diode, and a third resistor;

[0044] Among them, the A1 signal detection terminal is electrically connected to the output terminal of the signal generation circuit. The A2 signal detection terminal is connected to the input end of the capacitor. The input end of the second resistor is connected to the output end of the capacitor. The output end of the second resistor is electrically connected to the input end of the second diode. The output end of the second diode is connected to the third resistor. The third resistor is in series with the A2 signal detection terminal, so that when the remote control button is activated, the pilot signal generated by the signal generation circuit enters the A1 signal detection terminal, passes through the first diode and the switch button in sequence through the remote control cable, and then enters the A2 signal detection terminal through the remote control cable. At this time, the pilot signal charges the capacitor, passes through the second resistor, the second diode, and the third resistor, so that the isolation driving circuit obtains a normal driving voltage to drive the relay module to close, thereby driving the local electrical equipment to operate. When a fault such as an open circuit or a short circuit occurs in the remote control cable, the pilot signal cannot charge the capacitor through the A2 signal detection terminal to meet the driving voltage requirement, so that the relay module cannot be driven to close by the isolation driving circuit, effectively improving the reliability and completely avoiding the misoperation problem caused by the short circuit or open circuit of the remote control cable.

[0045] Embodiment 3. Refer to Figure 2 To illustrate this embodiment, this embodiment gives an example of the remote button in an intrinsically safe pilot module described in Embodiment 2;

[0046] The remote button includes a normally open button and a first diode;

[0047] The normally open button is in series with the first diode, and the first diode is used to prevent reverse current flow.

[0048] In actual application of this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the remote button includes a normally open button and a first diode. The normally open button is connected in series with the first diode. The other end of the normally open button is connected to the A2 signal detection terminal through a remote control cable, and the other end of the first diode is connected to the A1 signal detection terminal, effectively ensuring a simple connection between the remote button and the pilot controller. At the same time, the pilot signal can be sent from the A1 signal detection terminal, enter the A2 signal detection terminal through the remote button.

[0049] Embodiment 4. Refer to Figure 3 To illustrate this embodiment, this embodiment is an example of the signal generation circuit in an intrinsically safe pilot module described in Embodiment 1.

[0050] The signal generation circuit includes a first resistor and a pilot diode.

[0051] The output end of the first resistor is connected to the A1 signal detection terminal, and the pilot diode is used to rectify the current limited by the first resistor.

[0052] In actual application of this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, after being limited in current by the first resistor and then rectified by the pilot diode, the voltage signal becomes a pilot signal, which is connected to the A2 signal detection terminal through the remote button and the first diode is connected to the A1 signal detection terminal.

[0053] Embodiment 5. Refer to Figure 3 To illustrate this embodiment, this embodiment is an example of the pilot controller in an intrinsically safe pilot module described in Embodiment 1.

[0054] The pilot controller further includes an AC transformer, a rectification and filtering module, and a three-terminal voltage regulator module.

[0055] The main output terminal of the AC transformer is sequentially connected to the rectification and filtering module, the three-terminal voltage regulator module, and the relay module, so that the rectification and filtering module rectifies the AC voltage provided by the AC transformer into a stable DC voltage, and the three-terminal voltage regulator module converts the stable DC voltage into a DC voltage to provide a driving power supply for the relay module.

[0056] The secondary output terminal of the AC transformer is sequentially connected to the signal generation circuit, the signal discrimination circuit, the isolation drive circuit, and the relay module.

[0057] In actual application of this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the main output terminal of the AC transformer is electrically connected to the rectification and filtering module, the three-terminal voltage regulator module, and the relay module in sequence, serving as the relay drive power supply; the secondary output terminal of the AC transformer is electrically connected to the signal generation circuit, the signal discrimination circuit, the isolation drive circuit, and the relay module in sequence, and drives the relay module to close through the isolation drive circuit.

[0058] Specifically, the alternating current output from the main output terminal of the AC transformer becomes a stable DC power supply after being rectified by the rectification and filtering module, and outputs 24V DC power after passing through a three-terminal voltage regulator device for the drive power supply of the relay module. The AC voltage output from the secondary output terminal of the AC transformer is rectified by a pilot diode after being limited in current by a first resistor, making the voltage signal a pilot signal. It is connected to the A2 signal detection terminal through a switch button and to the A1 signal detection terminal through a first diode. When the switch button is activated, the pilot signal enters the A1 signal detection terminal, passes through the first diode and the switch button in sequence through a remote control cable, and then enters the A2 signal detection terminal through the remote control cable. At this time, the pilot signal charges the capacitor, and through the second resistor, the second diode, and the third resistor, the isolation drive circuit obtains a normal drive voltage to drive the relay module to close, thereby driving the local electrical equipment to operate. When a fault such as a break or short circuit occurs in the remote control cable, the pilot signal cannot charge the capacitor through the A2 signal detection terminal to reach the drive voltage requirement, so the relay module cannot be driven to close through the isolation drive circuit, effectively improving the reliability and completely avoiding the problem of misoperation caused by a short circuit or break in the remote control cable.
