Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] This utility model provides a marine explosion-proof master control device, including an explosion-proof master control unit, an increased safety housing 11 and a mounting base, wherein the explosion-proof master control unit is connected to an electrical control cabinet and a frequency converter.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the explosion-proof master control unit is made of 304 stainless steel. The thickness of the housing 11, flange cover plate 12, and flange mating surface is greater than or equal to 15mm, providing high strength and rigidity to ensure that the main structure meets the explosion-proof requirements. The explosion-proof master control unit is installed inside the increased safety housing 11, which includes the housing 11 and the flange cover plate 12. The flange cover plate 12 is installed on the open side of the housing 11. The housing 11 and the flange cover plate 12 are connected on one side by a hinge 16. A handle 17 is provided on the outer surface of the flange cover plate 12. The controller is installed inside the housing 11, and the explosion-proof electrical equipment is installed on the flange cover plate 12. A non-metallic insulating gasket is installed between the explosion-proof electrical equipment and the flange cover plate 12.

[0038] Explosion-proof electrical equipment includes explosion-proof push-button lights 21, explosion-proof push-buttons 22, ammeters 23, and heaters. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the explosion-proof master control unit has an epoxy resin insulation board 13 inside, and a terminal block 14 is provided on the epoxy resin insulation board 13. The explosion-proof electrical equipment and the controller are connected through the terminal block 14. The housing 11 is provided with an explosion-proof stuffing box 18. The cables of the electrical control cabinet and the frequency converter are connected to the controller through the explosion-proof stuffing box 18 and the terminal block 14. After the cables are installed, the inside of the explosion-proof stuffing box 18 is sealed with a two-component sealing material to ensure the isolation of the internal and external environments of the explosion-proof master control unit. The bottom of the explosion-proof master control unit is provided with a mounting plate 15, which is used to fix it in the increased safety housing 11.

[0039] like Figures 6-8As shown, the increased safety housing 11 is made of 304 stainless steel and is mounted on the ship via a mounting bracket. The increased safety housing 11 has an IP55 protection rating, and its inner wall provides sufficient space for the explosion-proof master control unit. The primary purpose of the increased safety housing 11 is to protect the explosion-proof master control unit when not in operation, preventing accelerated aging of control components due to ultraviolet radiation and resisting various external impacts. When the explosion-proof master control unit needs to be operated, the increased safety housing 11 is first opened, and then the switch is activated. The increased safety housing 11 has grounding protection to ensure that the housing 11 is not energized. In the event of a foreseeable fault, such as poor contact or damage to the explosion-proof electrical equipment, the circuit is disconnected, preventing short circuits that could cause sparks or high temperatures.

[0040] The explosion-proof master control unit and the increased safety housing 11 made of stainless steel have high strength and strong impact resistance. They will not corrode and thus affect the explosion-proof capability when placed in a high-salt and high-humidity marine environment for a long time.

[0041] like Figures 9-11 As shown, the mounting base includes a support column 31 and a mounting panel 32. The mounting panel 32 is mounted on the support column 31, which is perpendicular to the ground and fixed to the ground. The angle between the mounting panel 32 and the ground is an acute angle. A first reinforcing rib 33 is provided between the support column 31 and the ground, and a second reinforcing rib 34 is provided between the support column 31 and the mounting panel 32.

[0042] According to the national standard GB / T3836.2-2021 Explosive Atmospheres, Equipment Protected by Flameproof Enclosures "d",

[0043] Explosion-proof equipment is defined as: a type of explosion-proof electrical equipment whose enclosure can withstand the internal explosion of an explosive mixture that enters the enclosure through any joint surface or structural gap without damage, and will not cause ignition of an external explosive gas atmosphere formed by one or more gases or vapors.

[0044] According to the national standard GB / T 3836.3-2021 Explosive Atmospheres, Equipment Protected by Increased Safety Type "e",

[0045] Increased safety equipment is defined as: an explosion-proof type of electrical equipment or Ex components, with additional measures to improve its safety and prevent excessive temperature and the generation of electric arcs and sparks.

[0046] Based on the definitions and requirements of explosion-proof and increased safety electrical equipment, and the standards and specifications such as GB / T 3836.1-2021 Explosive Atmospheres Part 1: Equipment General Requirements, GB / T 3836.2-2021 Explosive Atmospheres, Equipment Protected by Explosion-proof Enclosures "d", GB / T 3836.3-2021 Explosive Atmospheres, Equipment Protected by Increased Safety "e", etc., and combined with the requirements of electrical equipment in the marine industry, in this utility model, since no explosive gases or dust are generated inside the master control unit, the main direction of explosion-proof control is to prevent external explosive gases and dust from entering the master control unit. On this basis, additional measures are taken to prevent excessive internal temperature or the generation of electric arcs and sparks, further improving safety, thus forming an increased safety type.

[0047] The width and length of the mating surfaces of the housing 11 and the flange cover 12 shall not be less than the minimum width required for explosion-proof mating surfaces. The gap shall not exceed the maximum safe gap required for explosion-proof. The surfaces of the mating surfaces shall be treated as necessary to achieve or exceed the surface roughness required by the explosion-proof standard, ensuring that the gap does not exceed the maximum safe gap required for explosion-proof. The installation of explosion-proof electrical equipment on the flange cover 12, and the installation and installation of instruments and other display devices with the flange cover 12, shall ensure that the insulation materials, sealing type, and sealing materials meet the explosion-proof requirements. All explosion-proof electrical equipment, etc., shall be explosion-proof and shall meet the explosion-proof requirements.

[0048] This utility model simultaneously meets the technical requirements of other national standards for explosion-proof, flameproof, and increased safety types.

[0049] The mating surfaces of the housing 11 and flange cover 12 are precision ground and then polished, with a surface roughness of not less than Ra0.8 and a flatness not exceeding 0.01 mm. The width of the mating surface is greater than 1.5 times the minimum width. After installation, the gap between the mating surfaces is 12.5% ​​of the maximum safe gap for Class IIA and 25% of the maximum safe gap for Class IIB. The distance from the through holes of the bolts used to install and fasten the control panel and housing 11 to the edge of the inner wall of housing 11 is greater than 2.6 times the minimum allowable value. Through the above structural and technical requirements and process parameters, the explosion-proof effect is ensured, reaching Gb and Db levels.

[0050] Ga-grade explosion-proof push button lights 21 and explosion-proof push button 22 are selected. The housing of these components is made of non-metallic insulating material. When installed on the control panel, a Class II non-metallic insulating sealing gasket is placed between the mating surface of the components and the panel. This not only provides a sealing function but also increases the creepage distance and clearance. The actual creepage distance is 9-10 times greater than the minimum creepage distance required by the standard, and the actual clearance is 9-10 times greater than the minimum clearance required by the standard.

[0051] The epoxy resin insulating board 13 possesses excellent insulation properties and resistance to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents. Terminal blocks 14 are installed on the epoxy resin insulating board 13, with wires and terminals connected by compression. Connections between terminals and terminal blocks and electrical components rely on mechanical devices such as spring sheets for clamping. All terminals are insulated from each other and maintain a certain distance. These measures essentially eliminate the possibility of arcing and sparking, thus achieving enhanced safety. The epoxy resin insulating board 13 has a sufficiently large area to ensure that, under foreseeable fault conditions, the creepage distance and clearance between electrical components installed on the insulating board are far greater than the standard requirements.

[0052] This utility model is made of 304 stainless steel, and its structure, manufacturing process, and auxiliary materials have been optimized. It meets the requirements of the high temperature difference, high salt and high humidity environment on board ships, while ensuring structural strength. At the same time, it eliminates the need for complex processes such as mold making, which greatly reduces manufacturing costs and shortens the production cycle. The overall structure can be adjusted in size as needed to expand its functions and add more control components and display instruments.

[0053] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
