[0002] Electrical equipment used in environments with explosive gases, dust, and fibers (such as coal mines, petrochemical plants, gas stations, natural gas extraction, drilling platforms, military industries, mines, and metal polishing workshops with explosive hazards) requires explosion-proof design. Otherwise, electrical sparks, arcs, or other electrical ignition sources generated by accidental equipment operation may lead to explosions and safety accidents.
[0003] Proportional valves are available on the market with and without circuit boards. The circuit board plays a crucial role in proportional valves, providing not only the necessary power supply but also amplifying and processing the signal to ensure the valve accurately responds to changes in the control signal. However, currently, most explosion-proof proportional valves on the market are those without circuit boards.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] As attached Figure 2 As shown, an explosion-proof proportional valve includes a solenoid valve 1 and a circuit board 2 electrically connected to the solenoid valve 1.
[0024] It also includes an explosion-proof enclosure, including a first explosion-proof enclosure 3 having a first explosion-proof cavity A1, and a second explosion-proof enclosure 4 having a second explosion-proof cavity A2 fixedly connected to the first explosion-proof enclosure 3.
[0025] Solenoid valve 1 is disposed within the first explosion-proof cavity A1 of the first explosion-proof enclosure 3. The first explosion-proof enclosure 3 includes an explosion-proof cylinder 31, a pressure sleeve 32 which is installed inside one end of the explosion-proof cylinder 31 and fitted onto the solenoid valve 1 through an explosion-proof mating surface, and a bushing 33 which is installed inside the pressure sleeve 32 through an explosion-proof mating surface and a sealing ring. The push rod 11 of the solenoid valve 1 extends outward after passing through the bushing 33 and engaging with the explosion-proof mating surface. The first explosion-proof enclosure 3 also includes a cylinder side cover 34 which is sealed to the other end of the explosion-proof cylinder 31 through an explosion-proof mating surface and a sealing ring. An explosion-proof plug 35 is installed on the cylinder side cover 34 through an explosion-proof thread. By opening the explosion-proof plug 35, the solenoid valve 1 can be individually repaired and replaced.
[0026] Circuit board 2 is disposed within the second explosion-proof cavity A2. The second explosion-proof enclosure 4 includes an adapter plate 41 fixed to the wall of the explosion-proof cylinder 31 by screws through a planar explosion-proof mating surface and sealing strip, and an explosion-proof upper shell 42 covered by a planar explosion-proof mating surface and fixed to the adapter plate 41 by multiple screws. Circuit board 2 is fixed to the top surface inside the explosion-proof upper shell 42. The explosion-proof upper shell 42 is removed from the adapter plate 41 to facilitate the individual maintenance and replacement of circuit board 2. A cable sealing connector 43 for introducing the cable connected to circuit board 2 is installed on the explosion-proof upper shell 42. Three explosion-proof plugs 44 are also installed on the explosion-proof upper shell 42 by explosion-proof threads for cable sealing connectors for connecting other control cables, etc.
[0027] Design of wire passage hole A3: A wire passage hole A3 is provided on the shell wall between the first explosion-proof cavity A1 and the second explosion-proof cavity A2, that is, on the shell wall of the explosion-proof cylinder 31 and the adjacent adapter plate 41, so that the wire can be connected to the solenoid valve 1 and the circuit board 2.
[0028] After the wire passes through the hole A3, the hole can be sealed, but the sealing conditions must be met. Specifically, the wall thickness of the explosion-proof cylinder 31 and the adjacent transition plate 41 must reach 20mm to ensure that the first explosion-proof cavity A1 and the second explosion-proof cavity A2 form completely independent sealed cavities, preventing pressure overlap between the two cavities. However, sealed wires are inconvenient to replace and maintain. Therefore, in this embodiment, the hole A3 is not sealed; instead, the wall thickness of the entire explosion-proof outer shell is increased to 5mm-10mm. Increasing the wall thickness helps to resist pressure overlap between the two explosion-proof cavities.
[0029] The explosion-proof proportional valve also includes an external mechanical structure 5 controlled by the push rod 11. The external mechanical structure 5 includes a mechanical housing 51 sealed and fixed to one end face of the explosion-proof cylinder 31, and the mechanical housing 51 is also pressed against the pressure sleeve 32 and the bushing 33. After the push rod 11 of the solenoid valve 1 extends outward through the explosion-proof surface and passes through the bushing 33, it extends into the external mechanical structure 5 and connects to form a purely mechanical working structure.
[0030] The explosion-proof proportional valve provided by this utility model has a simple structure. The solenoid valve and circuit board are respectively placed in corresponding explosion-proof chambers for explosion-proof treatment, reducing mutual interference and achieving a good overall explosion-proof effect. It also facilitates maintenance, meets Ex db IIB T6 Gb requirements, has an IP66 explosion-proof rating, and can be used with a rated voltage up to DC24V. It can be used in ambient temperatures ranging from -20℃ to +40℃. Before assembly, the explosion-proof surfaces and threads should be evenly coated with anti-rust oil, and protective measures should be taken.
[0031] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
