Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of explosion-proof printers, in particular to a positive pressure explosion-proof label printer. Background Art

[0002] In flammable and explosive environments such as petroleum, chemical, and mining industries, ordinary label printers may explode due to electric sparks or external flammable and explosive gases and substances entering the printer, seriously threatening the safety of personnel and production facilities. Most explosion-proof label printer chassis are made of stainless steel or carbon steel. By maintaining the pressure of the internal protective gas higher than the pressure of the surrounding explosive gas environment, it prevents the external explosive gas mixture from entering the printer chassis.

[0003] During the actual use of explosion-proof label printers, the paper guide slot cover at the front end of the paper output guide slot on the printer is generally sealed with a sealing gasket. The sealing gasket will be affected by thermal expansion and contraction. When the printer is in an environment with a large temperature difference, a gap will form between the chassis and the sealing gasket. The gas in the chassis will be lost little by little, resulting in a decrease in the internal air pressure of the chassis. In addition, it is not easy to maintain the high-pressure environment inside the chassis of most explosion-proof label printers in combination with the sealing protection of the chassis to simplify the device and save costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a positive pressure explosion-proof label printer to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] Positive pressure explosion-proof label printer, including:

[0007] An upper chassis, wherein a label printer is installed at the inner bottom of the upper chassis, a paper output guide groove is provided at the front end of the label printer, a paper guide groove cover is hingedly connected to the outer side of the paper output guide groove, an airbag is fixed to the inner side of the paper guide groove cover, a sealing gasket is fixed to the outer side of the airbag, and a printer adapter is fixed inside the upper chassis;

[0008] A welding beam, welded and fixed to the inner bottom of the upper chassis, for supporting and fixing the label printer;

[0009] The lower chassis is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper chassis;

[0010] An explosion-proof and silent fresh air centrifugal fan is fixed inside the lower chassis and is used to deliver fresh air to the upper chassis. The explosion-proof and silent fresh air centrifugal fan is connected to the airbag body and is fixed with a connecting pipe;

[0011] Explosion-proof positive pressure controller, used to maintain the internal air pressure of the upper chassis higher than the external pressure.

[0012] Furthermore, an explosion-proof junction box is fixed inside the upper chassis, a wind pressure transmitter is arranged below the explosion-proof junction box, and an explosion-proof sound and light alarm lamp is fixed on the top of the upper chassis.

[0013] Furthermore, a hanging plate is embedded and fixed on the front side of the upper chassis, a touch screen is fixed on the outer side of the hanging plate, and a touch screen adapter is fixed inside the upper chassis.

[0014] Furthermore, an upper box door panel is hinged on the outer side of the upper box body, a protective door is hinged on the middle part of the upper box door panel, and a glass pressure frame and a rainproof frame are installed between the protective door and the upper box body.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper chassis is electrically connected to two explosion-proof cable connectors, and the bottom of the upper chassis is installed with an automatic exhaust valve connected to the outdoors.

[0016] The invention further comprises: a supporting plate is fixed on the top of the welding beam, and a printer label paper is rotated on the top of the supporting plate.

[0017] Furthermore, a plurality of Forma wheels are fixed to the bottom surface of the lower chassis, and an air duct opening connected to an explosion-proof silent fresh air centrifugal fan is fixedly installed on one side of the lower chassis.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] 1. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the explosion-proof silent fresh air centrifugal fan delivers the purified air to the interior of the upper chassis, keeping the interior of the upper chassis in a positive pressure state, preventing external flammable and explosive gases and substances from entering the interior of the chassis, and can meet the daily production printing requirements in flammable and explosive environments such as petroleum, chemical, and mining.

[0020] 2. An airbag is fixed on the inner side of the paper guide slot cover, and a sealing gasket is fixed on the outer side of the airbag. When the paper guide slot cover is closed to seal the paper output guide slot, the airbag is squeezed between the paper guide slot cover and the upper chassis, so that the sealing gasket can be tightly abutted between the paper guide slot cover and the upper chassis, which to a certain extent prevents the sealing gasket from being affected by thermal expansion and contraction and forming a gap between the sealing gasket and the upper chassis, which is beneficial to improving the sealing performance of the upper chassis.

[0021] 3. The airbag is connected and fixed to the explosion-proof silent fresh air centrifugal fan through a connecting pipe. When the air volume inside the airbag is reduced due to long-term use, the explosion-proof silent fresh air centrifugal fan can pump an appropriate amount of gas to the airbag through the connecting pipe to keep the airbag filled, so that the sealing gasket can be tightly arranged between the paper guide slot cover and the upper chassis for a long time, further improving the sealing of the upper chassis, and also facilitating the maintenance of the high-pressure environment inside the explosion-proof label printer chassis and the sealing gasket protection of the chassis, simplifying the device and saving costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the 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.

[0030] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 The embodiment of the present invention provides a positive pressure explosion-proof label printer, comprising an upper chassis 100, a welding beam 200, a lower chassis 300, an explosion-proof silent fresh air centrifugal fan 400 and an explosion-proof positive pressure controller 500.

The outer side of the paper output guide groove 120 is hinged with a paper guide groove cover 121. An airbag body 122 is fixed to the inner side of the paper guide groove cover 121. A sealing gasket 1221 is fixed to the outer side of the airbag body 122. The upper chassis 10 0 is fixed with a printer adapter 130 inside; the welding beam 200 is welded and fixed to the inner bottom of the upper chassis 100, for supporting and fixing the label printer 110; the lower chassis 300 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper chassis 100; the explosion-proof and silent fresh air centrifugal fan 400 is fixed inside the lower chassis 300, for delivering fresh air to the upper chassis 100, and the explosion-proof and silent fresh air centrifugal fan 400 is connected to the airbag body 122 and is fixed with a connecting pipe; the explosion-proof positive pressure controller 500 is installed inside the lower chassis 300, for maintaining the air pressure inside the upper chassis higher than the outside air pressure.

[0031] Specifically, the air is pumped into the upper chassis 100 through the explosion-proof silent fresh air centrifugal fan 400, so that the air pressure inside the upper chassis 100 is greater than the external air pressure, preventing external flammable and explosive gases and substances from entering the interior of the chassis 100, and meeting the printing requirements of daily production in flammable and explosive environments such as petroleum, chemical, and mining. During the operation of the explosion-proof silent fresh air centrifugal fan 400, part of the gas will be transported to the airbag 122 through the connecting pipe, and the expanded airbag 122 will tightly squeeze the sealing gasket 1221 between the paper output guide groove 120 and the paper guide groove cover 121, which is beneficial to improve the sealing of the explosion-proof label printer 110 chassis.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a support plate 210 is fixed on the top of the welding beam 200, and a printer label paper 211 is rotated on the top of the support plate 210.

[0041] In this embodiment, the support plate 210 enables the label printer 110 to be fixed inside the upper chassis 100, and the printer label paper 211 is used to convey label paper to the label printer 110, wherein the label printer 110 is existing technology and the specific printing principle is not described in detail.
