Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of electrical equipment in chemical plants, in particular to a novel explosion-proof operating column. Background Art
[0002] In petrochemical plant installations, most motors use motor control protectors (MCPs) for motor protection and monitoring of operating parameters. These MPCs typically consist of the MPC, monitoring components, a communication cable connecting the MPC to an operator display module, and the operator display module. Given the potential for flammable gas leaks within petrochemical plant installations, the motors and MPCs are typically separated to prevent sparks from the MPCs during operation, potentially igniting flammable gases. The MPCs are typically located in the power distribution room, away from the on-site environment.
[0003] In the petrochemical plant's power distribution room, the motor control protector is installed in the distribution cabinet, and the operation display module is installed on the distribution cabinet's operating panel. Because the distribution room is remote from the site, process operators cannot monitor the motor's operating current in real time. Often, the motor stalls due to excessive flow control caused by valves in the equipment. In this case, the process operator contacts the power maintenance personnel, who then searches the distribution room for the stalled motor based on the information provided by the process operator. Due to the large scale of the petrochemical plant, there are several distribution rooms located relatively far apart. When a motor stalls due to overload, it is time-consuming and laborious to locate and reset the motor based on the information provided by the process operator.
[0004] Therefore, a solution is needed to enable the motor control protector to be arranged in the field in a known manner. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model provides a novel explosion-proof operating column, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art that a motor control protector must not be arranged near the motor in order to avoid ignition of combustible gas by electric sparks generated by the motor control protector.
[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the utility model is:
[0007] The utility model provides a novel explosion-proof operating column, comprising an operating column box, wherein the operating column box is used to accommodate a motor control protector and an operation display module; a control panel is detachably provided on the front of the operating column box, and the operating column box is sealed to the control panel;
[0008] The control panel is provided with an explosion-proof glass window corresponding to the display screen of the operation display module installed inside the operation column box, an operation button of the operation display module corresponding to the operation key of the operation display module installed inside the operation column box, two indicator lights of the motor and two operation buttons of the motor from top to bottom;
[0009] The operation button of the operation display module includes a pressure rod sleeve, a pressure rod, a reset spring, a positioning nut and a protective cap; the pressure rod sleeve is a copper middle-through structure, and the pressure rod sleeve is sealed and arranged on the control panel; the pressure rod is a copper round rod with a disc stop at the head, and the tail of the pressure rod is provided with a thread; the tail end of the pressure rod passes through the reset spring and the through hole of the pressure rod sleeve in turn and engages with the positioning nut thread; the reset spring is sleeved on the round rod part of the pressure rod, and the reset spring is arranged between the disc stop and the pressure rod sleeve; the protective cap is detachable and tightly sleeved on the pressure rod sleeve and is sealed.
[0010] Furthermore, the operation column box is arranged at the top end of the operation column support rod.
[0011] Furthermore, an operating column base is provided at the bottom end of the operating column support rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the control panel and the operation column box are detachably connected via control panel fixing bolts, and a sealing ring is provided between the control panel and the operation column box.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the pressure rod sleeve is provided with a thread, and the pressure rod sleeve is sealed and fixed after being threadedly engaged with the threaded through hole of the control panel.
[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are:
[0015] The utility model discloses a novel explosion-proof operating column, in which a motor control protector is arranged in a sealed cavity therein and isolated from the external environment. Even if an electric spark is generated, combustible gas that may leak in the device area of a petrochemical enterprise cannot be ignited, thereby greatly improving safety. Therefore, the motor control protector can be arranged near the motor.
[0016] In addition, the present invention integrates an operation display module of the motor control protector, an explosion-proof glass window for viewing the real-time operation information of the motor, and an operation button for controlling the motor control protector. The explosion-proof glass window of the present invention facilitates process operators to view the motor operation information in real time, avoiding the overload and shutdown of the motor caused by the excessive flow control of the operating equipment valve, thereby reducing the failure rate of power equipment such as motors, and facilitating power maintenance personnel to quickly find faulty motors and fault information, thereby improving the repair speed of faulty motors. The operation button of the present invention facilitates power maintenance personnel to reset the faulty motor and perform fault handling operations. Both of the above points are conducive to the stable operation of petrochemical enterprise equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a new explosion-proof operating column, including an operating column box 1, a control panel fixing bolt 2, an operating column support rod 3, an operating column base 4, an explosion-proof glass window 5, an operation display module operation button 6, an indicator light 7 and an operation button 8.
[0028] A control panel is provided on the front of the operation column box 1. The control panel and the operation column box 1 are detachably connected via control panel fixing bolts 2. A sealing ring is provided between the control panel and the operation column box 1. The control panel and the operation column box 1 form a closed cavity for accommodating the motor control protector and the operation display module.
[0029] The control panel is provided with, from top to bottom, an explosion-proof glass window 5 corresponding to the display screen of the operation display module installed inside the operation column box 1, an operation display module operation button 6 corresponding to the operation key of the operation display module installed inside the operation column box 1, two indicator lights 7 of the motor and two operation buttons 8 of the motor. The two indicator lights 7 are used to display whether the motor is running or stopped, and the two operation buttons 8 are used to control the start and shutdown of the motor; wherein, the operation button 8 is an explosion-proof button 8.
[0030] The operation column box 1 is arranged at the top end of the operation column support rod 3 , and the operation column support rod 3 is used to support the operation column box 1 .
[0031] The operating column base 4 is disposed at the bottom end of the operating column support rod 3 , and the operating column base 4 is used to fix the operating column support rod 3 .
[0032] The explosion-proof glass window 5 is arranged on the control panel of the operation column box 1 corresponding to the display screen of the display module installed inside the operation column box 1 .
[0033] The operation display module operation button 6 is arranged on the control panel of the operation column box 1 corresponding to the operation key of the display module installed inside the operation column box 1; the process operator triggers the operation key of the display module through the operation display module operation button 6 to control the motor control protector.
[0034] The indicator light 7 is arranged on the control panel.
[0035] The operation button 8 is arranged on the control panel.
[0036] The operation display module operation button 6 includes a pressure rod sleeve 61 , a pressure rod 62 , a return spring 63 , a positioning nut 64 and a protective cap 65 .
[0037] The pressure rod sleeve 61 is a copper hollow structure with a threaded outer wall for sliding through the pressure rod 62.
