Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of explosion-proof electrical equipment connection technology, and in particular to a snap-fit ​​stainless steel explosion-proof flexible tube. Background Technology

[0002] Explosion-proof flexible conduit is a connecting conduit specifically designed for explosion-proof electrical equipment. It is primarily used in hazardous locations such as petrochemical and military environments, as well as for safe connections in flammable dust and explosive gas environments. It possesses advantages such as flame retardancy, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance, and is therefore widely used in locations requiring high safety standards. It effectively prevents explosions and fires, protecting equipment and personnel. Secondly, the flexible conduit allows for flexible connections: as a flexible connection for conduit wiring, explosion-proof flexible conduit can adapt to complex wiring requirements, especially in locations where bending steel conduit is difficult, providing a more flexible and convenient solution. While existing explosion-proof flexible conduits can basically meet daily usage needs, some shortcomings remain. One is that... Most explosion-proof flexible conduits consist of a stainless steel flexible structure. While their internal structure is simple and they possess flame-retardant properties, their overall bending and compressive strength is poor. Excessive bending can damage the external stainless steel material, affecting the practicality of the flexible conduit. Furthermore, the explosion-proof principle of flexible conduits is that when a flammable gas deflagrates inside the connected explosion-proof instrument, it absorbs some of the deflagration energy and releases pressure to the outside and the conduit through the joint. Simultaneously, the joint metal further absorbs heat, thus preventing the ignition (deflagration) of external flammable gas. However, due to internal pressure limitations, the joint is prone to detachment under reverse pressure during internal deflagration, affecting its explosion-proof performance. Therefore, designing a crimped stainless steel explosion-proof flexible conduit is essential. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a snap-fit ​​stainless steel explosion-proof flexible tube to address existing defects.
