Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of underground electrical equipment technology, specifically relating to a positive pressure and moisture-proof pressure detection device for the explosion-proof cavity of a coal mining machine. Background Technology

[0002] The operating environment of underground electrical equipment is humid and harsh, and equipment failure or damage often occurs due to moisture or water ingress into the electrical control chamber, greatly increasing the failure rate. Statistics show that more than 70% of underground electrical failures are caused by moisture or water ingress. How to prevent moisture in electrical equipment is the key to reducing the failure rate. Analysis of the causes of moisture in electrical equipment reveals that during operation, the internal cavity of the electrical equipment heats up, and the gas expands. When the cavity is not airtight, the gas will escape outward. When the equipment cools down, the cavity pressure drops, and external humid air is drawn in. Over time, this leads to moisture ingress into the electrical components. Structural analysis shows that underground electrical equipment chambers have good airtightness. The main causes of moisture ingress are poor airtightness due to the drying of the explosion-proof protective oil and the aging of seals, leading to water ingress. However, there is currently no device that utilizes the good airtightness of underground electrical equipment to test its moisture-proof performance.

[0003] The utility model patent with application number CN201721416491.3 discloses a micro-positive pressure moisture-proof system for switchgear, including a pressure detector installed inside the switchgear, an air inlet pipe connected to the switchgear, and an air dryer, an air filter, and an air booster sequentially installed on the air inlet pipe. The air dryer is used to perform condensation dehumidification and drying on the air entering it, the air filter is used to filter the dried air to remove impurities, and the air booster is used to pressurize the air after impurity removal and deliver it to the switchgear through the air inlet pipe. A solenoid valve is installed at one end of the air inlet pipe connected to the switchgear. The pressure detector, solenoid valve, and air booster are all connected to a controller. However, the pressure detection device, solenoid valve, and air booster require additional power supply, which not only increases energy consumption but also requires an additional controller for electrical control. This is not only inconvenient to replace but also prone to electrical spark failure, increasing the risk of accidents in underground coal mining spaces. At the same time, it is also prone to detection errors in environments with a large amount of dry ice gas.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a positive pressure and moisture-proof pressure detection device for the explosion-proof cavity of a coal mining machine to solve the problems mentioned above, such as complex structure, increased cost, need for power supply, unsuitability for underground environment, insensitivity to ambient gas, and occupation of extra space. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this utility model proposes a positive pressure and moisture-proof pressure detection device for the explosion-proof cavity of a coal mining machine, which belongs to the field of underground electrical equipment technology and solves the technical problems of complex structure, increased cost, need for power supply, unsuitability for underground environment and occupation of extra space.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A positive pressure and moisture-proof pressure detection device for the explosion-proof cavity of a coal mining machine is installed inside the electrical control cavity of underground electrical equipment. It includes a U-shaped display pipe, a connecting pipe, and a pressure box. An electrical control box is installed inside the electrical control cavity. The U-shaped display pipe is located on the front wall of the electrical control box, and a vertically extending scale is installed on the front wall of the electrical control box. The scale is located within the surrounding area of ​​the U-shaped display pipe. The lower part of the U-shaped display pipe bends around the scale. The top of the scale has a through hole in the front wall of the electrical control box. The upper two ends of the U-shaped display pipe pass through the through hole and extend to the rear side of the front wall of the electrical control box. A pressure box is installed on one side of the electrical control box. The pressure box is shaped like a flattened cone. The pressure box is connected to one end of the U-shaped display pipe via the connecting pipe. The end of the U-shaped display pipe furthest from the pressure box is vertically exposed to the air inside the electrical control cavity.

[0008] Furthermore, an observation window is provided on the electrical control chamber, and the instrument head of the electrical control box is positioned horizontally directly opposite the observation window, so as to observe the position of the liquid inside the U-shaped display pipe within the scale through the observation window.

[0009] Furthermore, the connection between the pressure box and the connecting pipe is coated with epoxy resin, and the outer end of the pressure box is equipped with a sealing cap that can be rotated open.

[0010] Furthermore, the air pressure box is fixed inside the electrical control cavity on the inner wall of the meter head of the electrical control box, and the connecting pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the meter head of the electrical control box with tape.

[0011] Furthermore, a connector is provided in the middle of the connecting pipe. The connector is shaped like the needle of an infusion tube. The part of the connecting pipe that connects to the pressure box is inserted into the part of the connecting pipe that connects to the U-shaped display pipe through the connector.

[0012] Furthermore, the control box is equipped with a display screen. The U-shaped display tube located on the front side wall of the control box and the scale are located on one side of the display screen and extend parallel to the vertical edge of the display screen.

[0013] Furthermore, the graduations on the scale are distributed in a direction that increases sequentially from bottom to top.

[0014] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: dry gas is filled into the electrical control cavity. When the electrical equipment has good sealing performance, the internal pressure of the cavity will be higher than the external pressure. When the sealing performance decreases, the gas pressure will drop. By detecting the change in gas pressure, the airtightness of the electrical control cavity can be detected, thereby indirectly detecting the moisture-proof performance of the equipment. The high-pressure gas inside the cavity can actively prevent the entry of external humid air.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model can also bring the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention utilizes a positive pressure moisture-proof method, which can actively protect equipment and better monitor its status. It can significantly reduce the risk of moisture damage to explosion-proof equipment, and is low in cost, simple in structure and easy to manufacture, requires little installation space, and has clear and easy-to-observe scales. It can be modified and applied to equipment with observation windows, and the pressure observation method allows for very intuitive observation, which can greatly improve the efficiency of equipment maintenance and better promote the achievement of the goal of reducing manpower and increasing efficiency. It is very suitable for large-scale promotion. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2The device shown is a positive pressure and moisture-proof pressure detection device for the explosion-proof cavity of a coal mining machine. It is installed inside the electrical control cavity of underground electrical equipment and includes a U-shaped display pipe 1, a connecting pipe 2, and a pressure box 3. An electrical control box meter 4 is installed inside the electrical control cavity. The U-shaped display pipe 1 is located on the front wall of the electrical control box meter 4. A vertically extending scale 5 is installed on the front wall of the electrical control box meter 4, and the scale 5 is located within the surrounding area of ​​the U-shaped display pipe 1. The lower part of the U-shaped display pipe 1 bends around the scale 5. The top of the meter 5 is provided with a meter head through hole 6 opened on the front side wall of the meter head 4 of the electrical control box. The upper two ends of the U-shaped display pipe 1 pass through the meter head through hole 6 and extend into the rear side of the front side wall of the meter head 4 of the electrical control box. A pressure box 3 is provided on one side of the meter head 4 of the electrical control box. The pressure box 3 is shaped like a flat cone with a flat top. The pressure box 3 is connected to one end of the U-shaped display pipe 1 through a connecting pipe 2. The end of the U-shaped display pipe 1 away from the pressure box 3 is vertically exposed to the air inside the electrical control cavity.

[0027] An observation window is provided on the electrical control chamber, with the control box meter 4 positioned horizontally directly opposite it, facilitating observation of the liquid level within the scale 5 inside the U-shaped display pipe 1. A display screen 9 is mounted on the control box meter 4. The portion of the U-shaped display pipe 1 located on the front wall of the control box meter 4 and the scale 5 are positioned to one side of the display screen 9, extending parallel to its vertical edge. The graduations on the scale 5 are distributed in a progressively increasing direction from bottom to top.

[0028] The connection between the pressure box 3 and the connecting pipe 2 is coated with epoxy resin for sealing and moisture protection. The outer end of the pressure box 3 is equipped with a rotatable sealing cap 7. The pressure box 3 is fixed inside the electrical control chamber on the inner wall of the meter 4 in the electrical control box. The connecting pipe 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the meter 4 in the electrical control box with tape. A connector 8 is located in the middle of the connecting pipe 2.

[0029] In use, this invention first treats the mating surfaces of the electrical control cavity with Vaseline. This seals the cavity and allows it to absorb heat during an explosion, while simultaneously releasing high-pressure gas for explosion protection. Dry ice is then placed inside the cavity, creating positive pressure to prevent the entry of external humid gases and diluting the internal oxygen concentration, thus reducing component aging. In the event of a short circuit or explosion within the electrical equipment, the low oxygen concentration suppresses electrical sparks, reducing the intensity of the explosion. Furthermore, the protection status of the cavity can be assessed by observing changes in gas pressure within it, making inspection more accurate and timely. In summary, this invention offers advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, space saving, no need for external power supply, immunity to dry ice effects, and improved maintenance efficiency.
