DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0021] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0022] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "disposed" and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct connections, connections through an intermediary medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on their specific circumstances.
[0023] The personnel protection alarm device of the tunnel boring machine in this embodiment includes a control box, an audible and visual alarm 1 and a pyroelectric infrared sensor 2.
[0024] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the control box includes a box body 3, an upper cover plate 4 and a lower cover plate 5. A transverse partition plate 6 is provided inside the box body 3, and the transverse partition plate 6 divides the inside of the box body 3 into an upper cavity 7 and a lower cavity 8. The upper cover plate 4 is arranged on the outside of the upper cavity 7, and the lower cover plate 5 is arranged on the outside of the lower cavity 8. A PLC controller 9 and a wiring terminal 10 are provided in the upper cavity 7, and the PLC controller 9 is electrically connected to the wiring terminal 10. A power supply 11 and a fuse 12 are provided in the lower cavity 8.
[0025] A display 13 is provided on the outside of the upper cover 4, and multiple waterproof connectors 14 are provided on both sides of the box 3. The waterproof connectors 14 located on both sides of the upper cavity 7 are connected to the PLC controller 9 through the wiring terminals 10, and the waterproof connectors 14 located on both sides of the lower cavity 8 are connected to the power supply 11 through the fuse 12.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the sound and light alarm 1 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 9 through the driver 15, the pyroelectric infrared sensor 2 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 9 through the amplifier 16, the power supply 11 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 9 through the fuse 12, and the display 13 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 9.
[0027] The PLC controller 9 is the control center of the entire system, and the display 13 is used to display the system's operating status and related parameters in real time; the fuse 12 protects the system and can disconnect the circuit in time when a short circuit or overcurrent occurs in the system to prevent the system from overloading.
[0028] The sound-light alarm 1 is a mine-used explosion-proof and intrinsic safety type sound-light alarm, the PLC controller 9 is a mine-used explosion-proof and intrinsic safety type programmable controller, the display 13 is a mine-used intrinsic safety type display, and the driver 15 can adopt a LIS9452U driving chip.

[0030] When the pyroelectric infrared sensor 2 detects that personnel are in the alarm area, the pyroelectric infrared sensor 2 generates a corresponding voltage signal after detecting the personnel information and sends the signal to the PLC controller 9; the PLC controller 9 analyzes and processes the signal and sends the signal to the sound-light alarm 1, so that the sound-light alarm 1 issues a voice alarm and the alarm light flashes to pre-warn the personnel and avoid safety accidents.
[0031] When the personnel leave the dangerous area, the sound-light alarm 1 stops alarming; however, the PLC controller 9 is still in the locking state and needs to be manually reset to release the locking, and the equipment can be started again after the locking is released.
[0032] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and does not limit the utility model; any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. In addition, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but must be based on the realization of ordinary personnel in the art; when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the utility model.
