The embodiments are selected and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present utility model, and enable those of ordinary skill in the art to understand the present utility model and thus design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for specific purposes.

[0013] Please refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, an explosion-proof flame detector is provided, which includes a convex lens (20), a shell (8), a display cover (10), and a window glass (11) to form an explosion-proof enclosure of the flameproof type, and an explosion-proof cavity is formed inside to ensure that the flame detector can be installed and used in harsh environments such as explosive gases, explosive dusts, and rainy days. Four compact PCB circuit boards (19) are installed inside the explosion-proof cavity. An ultraviolet or infrared detection sensor is installed at the front end, which includes core signal receiving, processing, and conversion components. Each component of the shell is sealed by a sealing ring (7), a window gasket (12), and a window pressing plate (13). An explosion-proof stuffing box (9) for non-armored cable access is provided on the shell, so that external cables can be accessed to supply power to the flame detector and transmit the converted 4-20 mA standard industrial signal, and the overall explosion-proof performance of the shell is ensured. The connecting piece (1) is provided with an NPT external thread for connecting to external devices such as burners. The mirror base (6) is used to connect to the explosion-proof enclosure of the flameproof type. The flat mirror base (5) is used to install the flat lens (21), which mainly plays a role in isolating dust and protection. The shell (8) and the display cover (10) are fixed by locking screws (18).

[0014] The working principle of the present utility model is:

[0015] Using the ultraviolet and infrared detection principles, four integrated PCB circuit boards are compactly designed, and accordingly, a compact explosion-proof enclosure is designed to be applicable to harsh explosive gases, explosive dusts, and rainy days, and reliably detect the flame in the burner, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the burner;

[0016] This technology uses ultraviolet and infrared detection technologies for flame detection. During fire detection combustion, both ultraviolet and infrared rays are generated simultaneously. Flame signals are detected through ultraviolet sensors or infrared sensors (depending on the type of fuel, for fuels with strong ultraviolet signals during combustion, ultraviolet sensors can be selected, and for fuels with strong infrared signals during combustion, infrared sensors can be selected). Then, they are converted into electrical signals through amplifiers and optoelectronic converters, and then converted into standard 4-20mA industrial signals through a standard signal conversion module to output the flame intensity. At the same time, it can be converted into a digital signal output through an internal relay output. It is equipped with a power indicator light, a flame signal indicator light, and a flame signal intensity indicator light. It is equipped with high and low gain selection outputs. The self-check electronic circuit can detect faults in the flame detector itself;

[0017] The external structure has a compact housing, which has passed the TUV gas and dust double explosion-proof type certification and is widely applicable to explosive gas and dust hazardous environments. Two materials, stainless steel and cast aluminum, are designed for selection. The cast aluminum housing is coated with anti-corrosion paint to be applicable to corrosive environments. The cable is wired through an explosion-proof type sealed gland. The front section of the housing is equipped with explosion-proof glass to meet the explosion-proof performance and keep the lens clean. The rear cover of the housing is equipped with explosion-proof glass to meet the explosion-proof performance and facilitate observing the power supply and signal status of the flame detector.

[0018] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art and related fields based on the embodiments in the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
