[0039] Embodiment 1:
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-6 , this application provides a flameproof and intrinsically safe operation box for a pumping station, including a flameproof enclosure 1 and an intrinsically safe enclosure 2 provided on one side of the flameproof enclosure 1. One end of the flameproof enclosure 1 is connected to one end of the intrinsically safe enclosure 2 to form the overall operation box enclosure.
[0041] More specifically, the flameproof enclosure 1 and the intrinsically safe enclosure 2 are connected by a through-chamber terminal 9, and the through-chamber terminal 9 can connect the electronic components inside the two enclosures.
[0042] A quick - plug cable connector 10 is provided at the bottom of the flame - proof enclosure 1; a metal cable outlet nozzle 8 is provided at the bottom of the intrinsically - safe enclosure 2.
[0043] More specifically, the quick - plug cable connector 10 includes a type - A1 or type - A3 quick - plug rectangular connector.
[0044] To solve the problem that when the pilot operation box of the existing pumping station communicates with the pumping station, the main station and the sub - stations, the communication method is single. When any operation box or controller in the bus fails, the communication of the whole system will be interrupted and the reliability is not high. As Figure 6 shown, a HarmonyOS core board 3 and a power module 5 are arranged inside the flame - proof enclosure 1; inside the intrinsically - safe enclosure 2, there are a digital input / output module 4 connected to the HarmonyOS core board 3, a WiFi module 6 connected to the digital input / output module 4, and an audio output module 7. The operation box has dual - bus redundancy of CAN + WiFi or RS485+WiFi. Both communication methods can ensure that users can set wired or wireless communication according to their needs. When using wireless communication, wireless APs can be set up for networking at each pilot operation box, each control sub - station and the main station along the underground railway. Users can set the AP format according to the underground usage requirements to realize wireless data upload of the sub - stations without worrying about communication interruption caused by disconnection.
[0045] The digital input / output module 4 is integrated with detection ports. By connecting with the detection module of the pumping station, parameters such as the temperature, liquid level, emulsion concentration, pressure of the emulsion liquid, and the temperature, liquid level, pressure of the liquid tank can be collected.
[0046] The communication ports on the digital input / output module 4 support the CAN protocol or the RS485 protocol and have independent MAC addresses.
[0047] The audio ports on the digital input / output module 4 are connected to the audio output module 7. Multiple operation boxes for controlling the front - end pumping stations can be set along the line. When the pumping station at this location starts up, shuts down, or alarms, it alarms along the line through the audio output function. At the same time, the main station and each sub - station can also collect information. The main station will send out alarm information according to the configuration. At the same time, the audio signal can be connected to the centralized control system to realize voice broadcast alarm along the working face and the equipment train.
[0048] The power ports on the digital input / output module 4 are connected to the power module 5. The power module 5 is an intrinsically - safe 12V power supply or a non - intrinsically - safe 18V power supply.
[0049] In order to solve the problem of large control box size when the existing mine underground pump station control substation adopts PLC as the main control unit, this application uses Hongmeng core board 3 as the main control unit. Hongmeng core board 3 includes at least one processor for executing commands and a memory for storing the main control system. The control substation equipped with Hongmeng core board 3 can be 59cm in length and 23cm in width. Compared with the existing mine underground pump station pilot operation box, the size is greatly reduced, and there is no need to match a variety of explosion-proof and intrinsically safe intrinsically safe and non-safety signal conversion equipment, which can reduce energy consumption and cost.
[0050] More specifically, the Hongmeng ecosystem on the memory is equipped with a mining ecosystem, and data is exchanged between the Hongmeng core board 3 of the pump station operation box and the switch input and output module 4, which can effectively process and collect underground pump station data and control the pump station. The use of the Hongmeng core board 3 to realize real-time online data collection and synchronization with equipment and system data will bring coal mines into the era of the Internet of Things and lay a solid foundation for the intelligent construction of coal mines.
[0051] The overall shell of the control main station also includes an operating unit 12 and an NFC electronic tag 11. The NFC electronic tag 11 supports the mobile phone APP touch function. When a user approaches with a mobile terminal such as a mining mobile phone, it can unlock and enter the pump station system APP. The user can obtain the current data information of the pump station controlled by the operation box in real time and operate the pump station equipment, such as communication status, loading status, unloading status, power status, emergency stop status, etc.
[0052] More specifically, the WiFi module 6 includes a WiFi6 control mainboard and a communication conversion module. A WiFi antenna interface connected to the WiFi6 control mainboard is provided on the outside of the intrinsically safe housing 2. The WiFi6 antenna is led out through the WiFi6 antenna port on the intrinsically safe cavity housing, allowing the operation box to exchange wireless data with the main station and branch station.
[0053] More specifically, the Hongmeng core board 3 is fixed inside the explosion-proof casing 1 through a buffer bracket; the switch input and output module 4 and the WiFi module 6 are both fixed inside the intrinsically safe casing 2 through a buffer bracket. The buffer bracket includes a mounting plate directly connected to each mainboard, and a buffer tube arranged with the mounting plate facing the inner wall of the shell. A buffer spring is installed in the buffer tube to cope with some vibrations and protect the electronic components inside the operating box.
[0054] More specifically, wireless communication includes but is not limited to WiFi6 protocol, ZigBee protocol, 3G protocol, and 4G protocol.
[0055] More specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the operation unit 12 includes 14 groups of knob switches, with 28 state control functions. The controllable states include remote control and forced start of 2 groups of milk increasing, remote control and forced start of 4 groups of emulsifying pumps, remote control and forced start of 2 groups of additional spraying, remote control and forced start of 3 groups of spraying pumps, and remote control and forced start of 3 groups of spares.
[0056] More specifically, switch doors are provided on one side of the explosion-proof enclosure 1 and one side of the intrinsically safe enclosure 2. The switch doors are not opened during use to ensure the internal airtightness.
[0057] The explosion-proof and intrinsically safe operation box for the pumping station provided by this application can work in a complete set. It can be used to remotely start and stop the pumping station in the coal mine after being matched with other controllers, avoiding personnel from operating the start and stop of the pumping station on the pumping station equipment, providing personal safety for the operators, and improving the efficiency of workers through synchronous remote control; it is equipped with wired and wireless communication modes, eliminating the complicated wiring problems between the underground control box and the pumping station, and avoiding communication interruption caused by a single communication line break.
[0058] As Figure 5 shown in the figure, the pilot operation box of the pumping station is mainly directly connected to the pumping station underground, and can control the start and stop of the pumping station and monitor various data of the pumping station. For a complete set of operation boxes, such as seven-pump three-box and five-pump three-box, parameters such as the temperature, liquid level, emulsification concentration, pressure of the emulsion liquid in the pumping station, and the temperature, liquid level, pressure of the liquid tank can be uploaded to the substation through wireless communication. The data acquisition module of the substation can share data with the data acquisition module of the main station. Or the user can also support the "touch and go" function of the mobile phone APP through the NFC electronic tag 13. When the user approaches with a mobile terminal such as a mine mobile phone, the pumping station system APP can be unlocked and entered. The user can obtain the real-time information of the pumping station currently controlled by the current operation box in real time.
[0059] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are only examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
