[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 Figures 1-4, an explosion-proof control box described in the utility model comprises a box body 1, one side of the box body 1 is provided with a cover plate 2 which is rotated by a hinge, the outer side of the cover plate 2 is equipped with an indicator light 3 and a corresponding control switch 4, the cover plate 2 and the box body 1 are fixedly assembled by a number of fixing bolts 5, one side of the box body 1 is provided with a sealing groove 6 at its edge, a permanent magnet 7 is fixedly assembled in the sealing groove 6, and one side of the cover plate 2 is fixedly equipped with a sealing ring 8 which corresponds to the sealing groove 6, and the sealing ring 8 is embedded with metal powder that can be attracted by the permanent magnet 7; the grinding robot will generate a lot of dust during the grinding process. In order to make the explosion-proof control box effectively prevent dust from entering the interior of the box and prevent the electronic components inside the control box from being affected by dust, and the risk of explosion caused by dust accumulation, the sealing of the explosion-proof control box is improved. When the cover plate 2 is buckled with the box body 1, the staff first fixes the two with external fixing bolts 5. At the same time as being fixed, the sealing ring 8 on the cover plate 2 is inserted into the sealing groove 6 on the box body 1. At the same time, since the sealing ring 8 is embedded with metal powder, the magnetic poles of the permanent magnet 7 are all directed upward, which will generate attraction for the metal powder in the sealing ring 8. Under the action of the magnetic force, the sealing ring 8 is pulled into the sealing groove 6 and fits tightly against the inner wall of the sealing groove 6. At this time, the elasticity of the sealing ring 8 enables it to adapt to the shape of the inner wall of the sealing groove 6 and fill any tiny gaps that may exist, thereby forming a more effective seal. If the following situation occurs: the explosion-proof control box is deformed due to external impact, causing the sealing groove 6 to deform and affecting the sealing structure effect, due to the cooperation of the permanent magnet 7 and the sealing ring 8 rich in metal powder, even if the box body 1 or the cover plate 2 is deformed, causing the sealing groove 6 and the sealing ring 8 to deform, the sealing ring 8 can also be deformed by magnetic attraction to fill these gaps, effectively preventing the intrusion of gas, liquid or dust, thereby greatly improving the safety of the equipment.
[0026] Furthermore, the permanent magnet 7 and the sealing ring 8 are both configured as mutually cooperating stepped structures; when the sealing ring 8 and the permanent magnet 7 cooperate to form a sealing surface, since both structures are stepped structures, the area of the sealing surface is greatly increased, further improving the sealing performance.
[0027] Furthermore, it includes a fixing mechanism 9 for auxiliary fixing the cover plate 2 and the box body 1, the fixing mechanism 9 includes a fixing pin 901 fixedly arranged on one side of the box body 1, and a fixing plate 902 fixedly arranged on one side of the cover plate 2, the fixing plate 902 is provided with a fixing hole 9021 corresponding to the fixing pin 901, one end of the fixing plate 902 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 9022, and one end of the fixing pin 901 is provided with an arc-shaped chamfer that matches the arc-shaped groove 9022; the grinding robot will continuously generate large vibrations when working, which will cause the traditional sealing structure to loosen and reduce the sealing Sealing effect, in order to prevent the occurrence of the above problems, when the cover plate 2 is buckled with the box body 1, the cover plate 2 drives the fixing plate 902 to move toward the fixing pin 901, and one end of the fixing pin 901 is abutted against the arc-shaped groove 9022 at one end of the fixing plate 902, so that the fixing plate 902 is tilted. When the cover plate 2 is buckled with the box body 1, the fixing pin 901 just moves to the fixing hole 9021, and the fixing plate 902 loses the support of the fixing pin 901 and rebounds to insert the fixing pin 901 into the fixing hole 9021, thereby auxiliary fixing the cover plate 2 and the box body 1 to prevent the two from separating and affecting the sealing effect of the sealing surface.
[0028] Furthermore, an unlocking mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the fixing mechanism 9, and the unlocking mechanism 10 includes an assembly groove 1001 opened on one side of the cover plate 2, an unlocking block 1003 is assembled in the assembly groove 1001 through eccentric rotation of a rotating rod 1002, and a control rod 1004 is provided on one side of the unlocking block 1003, and a torsion spring 1005 is connected between the unlocking block 1003 and the assembly groove 1001 for maintaining the unlocking block 1003 in an initial position that does not unlock the fixing plate 902; when it is necessary to unlock the fixing mechanism 9 and open the cover plate 2 to When performing maintenance, the staff pulls the control lever 1004, thereby driving the unlocking block 1003 to rotate, and then the unlocking block 1003 abuts against the fixing plate 902 and tilts it up, so that the fixing pin 901 leaves the fixing hole 9021, and the fixing mechanism 9 can be opened. When the fixing mechanism 9 limits and fixes the cover plate 2 and the box body 1, the torsion spring 1005 on the unlocking mechanism 10 causes one side of the control lever 1004 to be tightly against the fixing plate 902 under the action of its torsion, providing downward pressure for the fixing plate 902, thereby also ensuring the stability of the fixing plate 902.
[0029] Furthermore, the box body 1 adopts a multi-layer structure, which comprises a high-strength metal layer 101 and a heat-insulating and flame-retardant layer 102 from the outside to the inside, and an air heat-insulating layer 103 is provided between the multi-layer structure; the outer high-strength metal layer 101 first provides a solid protective barrier, which can withstand certain external impacts and collisions and prevent puncture from external sharp objects, and the inner heat-insulating and flame-retardant layer 102 further prevents the transfer of heat. These materials have a low thermal conductivity coefficient and a high heat capacity, and can absorb and store a certain amount of heat without allowing the heat to be quickly transferred to the internal space of the box body 1. At the same time, the heat-insulating and flame-retardant layer 102 also has It has flame retardant properties and can prevent the spread of flames in the event of an accident, protecting the internal electrical components and control circuits. The air insulation layer 103 forms a thermal resistance area. Air is a poor conductor and has a relatively low thermal conductivity coefficient. When heat tries to pass through the outer high-strength metal layer 101 to the inner insulation and flame retardant layer 102 or from the inner layer to the outside, the air insulation layer 103 can effectively slow down the heat conduction speed. The heat transfer in this area is greatly hindered. When the external temperature is high, the insulation reduces the internal temperature of the box 1, ensuring that the electrical components work at a suitable temperature, extending the service life and enhancing safety.
