[0023] As shown in the accompanying drawings, an explosion-proof industrial camera includes an aluminum alloy rear housing 2, an aluminum alloy front cover 3 flameproofly mounted on the rear housing 2, and a flameproof chamber 6 formed between the front cover 3 and the rear housing 2. The camera body 1 is fixed in the flameproof chamber 6. The detailed installation structure is as follows:

[0024] An inner mounting frame 4 is fixed within the inner cavity of the rear shell 2. The inner mounting frame 4 is formed integrally from a highly thermally conductive material, and in this embodiment, is formed integrally from copper. The inner mounting frame 4 includes a nesting frame 4a that fits over the rear portion of the camera body 1, and a fixed ring edge 4c located at the edge of the opening of the nesting frame 4a. The fixed ring edge 4c is fixedly connected to an inner step of the rear shell 2 by screws. The rear portion of the camera body 1 is embedded in the copper nesting frame 4a, and the rear portion of the camera body 1 and the nesting frame 4a are fixedly connected by multiple screws. The camera body 1 is securely mounted within the rear shell 2 via the copper inner mounting frame 4, and heat is quickly transferred to the rear shell 2 via the copper inner mounting frame 4, achieving a rapid heat dissipation effect.

[0025] The bottom of the nesting frame 4a features a perforation 4b. The camera body 1's wiring terminals extend through this perforation, facing the bottom of the rear housing 2. A cable gland 7 is connected to the bottom of the rear housing 2 via flameproof threads. The threads have an effective engagement count of ≥5 and an effective engagement length of ≥8mm, 2-M25×1.5-6H / 6g. The cables are routed through the cable gland 7 into the flameproof cavity 6 and electrically connected to the camera body 1's wiring terminals. A wiring space with a centerline dimension a of 42mm is formed between the wiring terminals and the bottom of the rear housing 2, facilitating cable storage.

[0026] The front cover 3 comprises a main body 31, a window glass 32 encapsulated within the central window at the front end of the main body 31, and a glass retaining ring 5 secured within the interior of the main body 31 and pressed against the window glass 32. The encapsulation layer is bonded with SY6002 material, with a longitudinal bond length of ≥10mm. The window glass 32 is made of tempered glass, with its edges and the encapsulation layer sandwiched between the outer side of the window in the main body 31 and the glass retaining ring 5, ensuring a good seal.

[0027] The glass pressure ring 5 is made of an integral piece of aluminum alloy, and includes a pressure plate 5a located on the outer ring and a positioning ring 5b located on the inner ring and extending axially backward. The pressure plate 5a is fixedly connected to the front cover 3 by multiple screws, and the front lens of the camera body 1 is inserted into the positioning ring 5b of the glass pressure ring 5 for stability.

[0028] The rear shell 2 and the front cover 3 are connected by a cylindrical flameproof joint surface. The cylindrical flameproof joint surface L ≥ 12.5mm, ic ≤ 0.2mm. A sealing ring is set between the two, and the rear shell 2 and the front cover 3 are fixedly connected by multiple screws. Figure 3 As shown, the outer surfaces of the rear shell 2 and the front cover 3 are integrally formed and are provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins distributed along the center line direction, so as to facilitate the copper inner mounting frame 4 and the glass pressure ring 5 to transfer heat to the rear shell 2 and the front cover 3, thereby dissipating heat more quickly.

[0029] The assembly method involves electrically connecting the connection terminals of the camera body 1, which are fixed to the copper inner mounting bracket 4, to the cables introduced into the explosion-proof chamber 6 via the cable gland 7. The fixing ring 4c of the inner mounting bracket 4 is fixedly connected to an inner step of the rear housing 2 using screws. The positioning ring 5b of the glass pressure ring 5 is placed over the front of the camera body 1, and the front cover 3 is placed over the rear housing 2. The front cover 3 and rear housing 2 are then fixed together using multiple screws. This makes installation easy, the structure is simple and compact, the size is small, and the explosion-proof performance is excellent.
