[0023] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Specific examples are given below.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , an explosion-proof forklift described in the utility model includes a body 1, one side of the body 1 is fixedly equipped with a fork 2, the body 1 is provided with an operating handle 3, the body 1 includes a sealed shell 4 for installing equipment, a control box 5 for installing electrical equipment is fixedly installed in the sealed shell 4, one side of the control box 5 is provided with a cable port 7 for inserting a cable 6 connected to the internal electrical equipment thereof, an inflatable sealing ring 9 that can be deformed according to the wire diameter of the cable 6 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the cable port 7, a controller 15 is installed in the control box 5, and a wire diameter detection device 8 is equidistantly provided on the inner wall of the cable port 7 in a circular array, an air pump 10 for deforming the inflatable sealing ring 9 is provided in the sealed shell 4, the air pump 10 is connected to the inflatable sealing ring 9 through an air pipe 11, and the control end of the controller 15 is connected to the power control end of the air pump 10 through a wire;

[0026] The wire diameter detection device 8 includes a swing rod 802 that is swingably arranged by a rotating rod 801, and a roller 803 is rotatably mounted on the end of the swing rod 802 that contacts the cable 6. It also includes a rotary encoder 804 that is connected to the rotating rod 801 and is used to detect angle data. The swing rod 802 is connected to the inner wall of the cable port 7 with a compression spring 12. The air pressure detector 901 for detecting the internal air pressure is fixedly mounted in the inflatable sealing ring 9. The data input end of the controller 15 is connected to the rotary encoder 804 and the air pressure detector 9 through a wire. 01 Data connection; During work, when the staff inserts the cable 6 into the cable port 7 for assembly, in order to make the sealing structure in the cable port 7 able to cope with cables 6 of different diameters and ensure the sealing, the cable 6 is detected by the wire diameter detection device 8 after passing through the cable port 7. The cable 6 is continuously inserted, and the roller 803 contacts the surface of the cable 6 to reduce the friction. The cable 6 squeezes and pushes the pendulum rod 802, and the pendulum rod 802 compresses the compression spring 12. At the same time, the compression spring 12 applies an opposite force to the pendulum rod 802, so that the pendulum rod 802 applies a downward pressure on the cable 6. The downward pressure clamps the cable 6. The compression spring 12 can provide kinetic energy for the reset of the rocker arm 802 and apply clamping force to the cable 6 to ensure that the cable 6 does not shake. The rocker arm 802 rotates to drive the rotating rod 801 to rotate, and the rotating rod 801 drives the rotating shaft of the rotary encoder 804 to rotate. At the same time, the rotary encoder 804 detects the rotation data and sends the data to the controller 15. The controller 15 analyzes and calculates the angle data through the built-in database, and obtains the wire diameter value of the cable 6 according to the angle data. The controller 15 then controls the air pump 10 to energize and inflate the cable 6. Gas is filled in the sealing ring 9, and the air pressure detector 901 detects the value in the inflated sealing ring 9 in real time and sends the air pressure data to the controller 15. When the air pressure value reaches the air pressure that matches the wire diameter of the detection cable 6, the controller 15 controls to close the air pump 10. The air pressure can ensure that the inflated sealing ring 9 is deformed to a state of close fit with the surface of the cable 6, effectively preventing the existence of gaps that cause external gas and dust to enter the control box 5. This not only ensures the tight connection of the cable 6, but also can adapt to cables 6 of different wire diameters, thereby improving the flexibility and reliability of the connection.

[0027] Furthermore, the control box 5 includes a box body 501 and a cover plate 502 fixedly assembled by a number of fixing bolts. A sealing groove 13 is provided on the sealing surface of the box body 501, and a sealing convex ring 14 is fixedly provided on the sealing surface of the cover plate 502 to correspond to the sealing groove 13. The cross-sections of the sealing groove 13 and the sealing convex ring 14 are both trapezoidal structures. The depth of the sealing groove 13 is longer than the height of the sealing convex ring 14, and the inner wall of the sealing groove 13 is parallel to the outer wall of the sealing convex ring 14. When working, the sealing performance of the control box 5 is of paramount importance. There are many electrical appliances installed in the control box 5, and it is necessary to prevent the interior from easily entering. When the box body 501 and the cover plate 502 are fixedly assembled, the sealing convex ring 14 is inserted into the sealing groove 13. Since the sealing groove 13 is deeper than the sealing convex ring 14, when the sealing surface of the cover plate 502 and the box body 501 are in contact, the trapezoidal outer wall of the sealing convex ring 14 is tightly fitted with the trapezoidal inner wall of the sealing groove 13. When the cover plate 502 and the box body 501 are fixed, the sealing convex ring 14 and the sealing groove 13 are tightly abutted, and the sealing convex ring 14 is tightly embedded in the sealing groove 13. This design also increases the sealing contact area and the sealing path length, which can effectively prevent the intrusion of external hazardous substances.
