Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pyrotechnics testing and marking technology, and in particular to an electronic detonator driver and an electronic detonator initiation control system containing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic detonators are widely used in open-pit mines, ore-rock separation, cofferdam demolition, tunnels, urban foundations, mountain modification, and blasting for hazard removal. During blasting, all electronic detonators need to be connected in parallel to the port of the electronic detonator initiation controller through two control busbars. Due to the limited load capacity of a single electronic detonator initiation controller, there is an upper limit to the number of detonators that each electronic detonator initiation controller can carry. The load capacity of a single electronic detonator initiation controller is usually no more than 500 detonators within 1000 meters.

[0003] Furthermore, with the increasing number of electronic detonator blasting scenarios, some large-scale blasting missions require a network of over 500 electronic detonators. Current technologies typically employ cascaded electronic detonator initiators to handle blasting missions with over 500 networked detonators. However, this method not only increases the complexity and workload of blasting operations but also introduces communication problems caused by the cascaded initiators, posing inconveniences to electronic detonator networking and blasting operations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a drive device that facilitates the networking and detonation control of over 500 electronic detonators. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome at least one deficiency of the prior art and to provide an electronic detonator driver for networking and detonation control of more than 500 electronic detonators. In addition, an electronic detonator detonation control system is also provided.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] According to one aspect of this application, an electronic detonator driver is provided, comprising:

Each conductive terminal is provided with a conductive wiring part for conductive connection to the control bus, and the conductive wiring part is exposed relative to the housing. Furthermore, a pair of conductive terminals is electrically connected to one of the drive modules.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this embodiment, multiple drive modules electrically connected to the control module are installed in the mounting cavity, and multiple pairs of conductive terminals electrically connected to the drive modules are installed at intervals on the housing. Each conductive terminal is provided with a conductive connection part for conductive connection to the control bus. A pair of control busbars can be connected to the conductive connection parts of the pair of conductive terminals. A drive module drives and controls multiple electronic detonators connected to the pair of control busbars for communication, networking, and detonation control. Thus, multiple drive modules can drive multiple electronic detonators connected to multiple pairs of control busbars, which is beneficial for networking and detonation control of more than 500 electronic detonators and also meets the needs of detonation operations that require the deployment of a large number of electronic detonators. Furthermore, the conductive connection parts are exposed relative to the housing, which facilitates the connection of the control busbars to the conductive connection parts on the outside of the housing.

[0012] In addition, based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows, and can also have the following additional technical features.

[0013] According to one embodiment of this application, the control module includes a main control circuit board, and the drive module includes a drive control board, which is mounted on the main control circuit board and electrically connected to the main control circuit board.

[0014] In this embodiment, the control module includes a main control circuit board, which facilitates the integration of electronic components required for communication, networking, and detonation control of the drive control board and the multiple electronic detonators connected to multiple pairs of control buses onto the main control circuit board; in addition, the drive module includes a drive control board, which facilitates the integration of electronic components required for communication, networking, and detonation control of the multiple electronic detonators connected to multiple pairs of control buses onto the drive control board.

[0015] According to one embodiment of this application, one of the drive modules can drive no more than 500 electronic detonators electrically connected to it and connected to the control bus to achieve networking and detonation control.

[0016] In this embodiment, a single drive module can drive no more than 500 electronic detonators electrically connected to it and connected to the control bus to achieve networking and detonation control. The number of electronic detonators driven by a single drive module is appropriate, which can increase the scale of electronic detonator networking and detonation control while ensuring the reliability of the drive module in driving electronic detonators to achieve networking and detonation control.

[0017] According to one embodiment of this application, the housing includes a bottom plate, a top plate, a front baffle, a left baffle, a rear baffle, a right baffle, and four corner connecting posts. The four corner connecting posts are arranged in pairs facing each other at the four corners of a rectangle. The front baffle, the left baffle, the rear baffle, and the right baffle are respectively connected between two corner connecting posts to form a rectangular frame. The bottom plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rectangular frame by a plurality of fasteners, and the top plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rectangular frame by a plurality of fasteners. The rectangular frame is defined between the bottom plate and the top plate.

[0018] In this embodiment, the front baffle, left baffle, rear baffle, and right baffle are respectively connected between two corner connecting posts to form a rectangular frame. The bottom plate and top plate are respectively fixedly connected to the lower and upper ends of the rectangular frame, which facilitates the production of the housing and reduces the production cost of the housing. In addition, it also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the housing, thereby facilitating the maintenance of electronic components installed in the mounting cavity.

[0019] According to one embodiment of this application, the corner connecting post includes:

[0020] A vertical support body is provided, which is vertically arranged. The vertical support body is provided with a first mounting slot and a second mounting slot arranged at opposite angles in the vertical direction. The two ends of the front baffle, the left baffle, the rear baffle and the right baffle are respectively inserted into the first mounting slot and the second mounting slot to form the rectangular frame.

[0021] In this embodiment, the vertical support body is provided with mounting slot 1 and mounting slot 2 arranged at opposite angles in the vertical direction. This facilitates the insertion of the two ends of the front baffle, left baffle, rear baffle and right baffle into mounting slot 1 and mounting slot 2 respectively to form a rectangular frame. This helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the housing and also facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the housing, thereby facilitating the maintenance and replacement of multiple electronic components installed in the mounting cavity.

[0022] According to one embodiment of this application, the electronic detonator driver further includes:

[0023] A wireless communication driver board is installed in the mounting cavity, and the wireless communication driver board is electrically connected to the control module.

[0024] A wireless communication connector is mounted on the housing, the wireless communication connector is electrically connected to the wireless communication driver board, and the wireless receiving end of the wireless communication connector is exposed relative to the housing.

[0025] In this embodiment, the wireless communication connector is electrically connected to the wireless communication driver board, which facilitates communication driving of the wireless communication connector through the wireless communication driver board and improves the stability of wireless communication by the wireless communication connector.

[0026] According to one embodiment of this application, the electronic detonator driver further includes:

[0027] A debugging interface is installed on the housing. The debugging interface is electrically connected to the control module, and the terminals of the debugging interface are exposed relative to the housing.

[0028] In this embodiment, a debugging interface electrically connected to the control module is installed on the housing, which facilitates the debugging and testing of the electronic detonator driver's function. This allows for quality inspection of the electronic detonator driver during the production stage before it leaves the factory, enabling the identification and rejection of substandard electronic detonators before they leave the factory, thus preventing substandard electronic detonators from being put into use and affecting the smooth execution of blasting operations.

[0029] According to one embodiment of this application, the electronic detonator driver further includes:

[0030] The fiber optic interface is provided in at least one pair, and the at least one pair of fiber optic interfaces is mounted on the housing. The fiber optic interface is electrically connected to the control module, and the wiring terminals of the fiber optic interface are exposed relative to the housing.

[0031] In this embodiment, by installing at least one pair of fiber optic interfaces on the housing, when multiple electronic detonator drivers are used simultaneously to perform blasting operations, fiber optic cables can be used to connect the fiber optic interfaces on two adjacent electronic detonator drivers, thereby connecting multiple electronic detonator drivers in series. This is beneficial for further increasing the network scale of electronic detonators and better meeting the needs of detonation operations that require the deployment of a large number of electronic detonators.

[0032] According to one embodiment of this application, the electronic detonator driver further includes:

[0033] A switch is installed in the mounting cavity, and the switch is electrically connected to the control module.

[0034] A power module is installed in the mounting cavity, and the control module, the drive module, and the switch are electrically connected to the power module.

[0035] In this embodiment, a switch electrically connected to the control module is installed in the mounting cavity, which facilitates data transmission and exchange, enabling data forwarding and feedback information collection. This also provides strong support for the precise detonation of the electronic detonator and the smooth execution of the entire blasting operation. In addition, the control module, drive module, and switch are electrically connected to the power module, which facilitates the supply of power to the control module, drive module, and switch through the power module.

[0036] According to one embodiment of this application, the conductive terminal includes:

[0037] An elastic electrical insulating sleeve is fixedly installed on the housing. The first end of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve extends into the mounting cavity, and the second end of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve protrudes out of the housing and is exposed on the outside of the housing. A mounting through hole is formed inside the elastic electrical insulating sleeve, and the elastic electrical insulating sleeve can undergo elastic deformation along its length direction under the action of compressive force along its length direction.

[0038] A conductive body is installed in the mounting through hole. The first end of the conductive body extends through the elastic electrical insulating sleeve and into the mounting cavity. The second end of the conductive body extends through the elastic electrical insulating sleeve and is exposed on the outside of the housing. A conductive insertion through hole is provided on the second end of the conductive body, and the conductive insertion through hole is exposed on the outside of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve.

[0039] A busbar limiting sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the second end of the conductive body. The busbar limiting sleeve has a insertion clearance through hole facing the conductive insertion through hole. When the busbar limiting sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the second end of the conductive body, such that the conductive insertion through hole faces the insertion clearance through hole, the end of the busbar limiting sleeve near the elastic electrical insulating sleeve stops against the elastic electrical insulating sleeve, causing the elastic electrical insulating sleeve to undergo elastic deformation. The conductive insertion through hole and the insertion clearance through hole facing each other constitute the conductive connection part.

[0040] In this embodiment, the busbar limiting sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the second end of the conductive body. When the conductive insertion through-hole is directly opposite the insertion clearance through-hole, the end of the busbar limiting sleeve near the elastic insulating sleeve stops against the elastic insulating sleeve, causing the elastic insulating sleeve to undergo elastic deformation. Therefore, when the control busbar is inserted into the conductive insertion through-hole through the insertion clearance through-hole, the elastic insulating sleeve tends to regain its elasticity and pushes the busbar limiting sleeve outward. Under the outward pushing force of the elastic insulating sleeve, the busbar limiting sleeve can press the control busbar inserted into the conductive insertion through-hole, thereby ensuring that the busbar inserted into the conductive body... The control busbar inside the plug-in through hole is pressed against the inner wall of the conductive plug-in through hole, improving the reliability of the contact between the control busbar and the inner wall of the conductive plug-in through hole, thereby ensuring the conductivity between the control busbar and the inner wall of the conductive plug-in through hole. Furthermore, the busbar limiting sleeve can limit and lock the control busbar inserted into the conductive plug-in through hole, which helps to improve the stability of the control busbar inserted into the conductive plug-in through hole and prevent the control busbar from falling out of the conductive plug-in through hole. In addition, the conductive plug-in through hole and the plug-in avoidance through hole that are set opposite each other constitute the conductive wiring part, and the structure of the conductive wiring part is simple.

[0041] According to another aspect of this application, an electronic detonator initiation control system is provided, comprising:

[0042] The aforementioned electronic detonator driver;

[0043] The control busbar is provided in multiple pairs, with one pair of the control busbars connected to the conductive terminals of one pair of conductive terminals.

[0044] The electronic detonator is configured to fire multiple times, and each of the multiple electronic detonators is connected to a pair of control buses that are arranged in pairs.

[0045] The electronic detonator initiation control system in this embodiment includes the aforementioned electronic detonator driver. It can connect a pair of control buses to the conductive terminals of a pair of conductive terminals. A single drive module drives and controls multiple electronic detonators connected to the pair of control buses for communication, networking, and initiation control. Thus, multiple drive modules can drive multiple electronic detonators connected to multiple pairs of control buses, which is beneficial for networking and initiation control of more than 500 electronic detonators and also meets the needs of initiation operations that require the deployment of a large number of electronic detonators.

[0046] According to one embodiment of this application, the electronic detonator detonation control system further includes:

[0047] An electronic detonator initiator is used to network and control the detonation of multiple electronic detonators. The electronic detonator initiator is wirelessly connected to the electronic detonator driver.

[0048] The scanning and recording device is wirelessly connected to the electronic detonator initiator. The scanning and recording device is used to scan all the electronic detonators connected to each pair of control buses in sequence and record the identity information of all the electronic detonators into the electronic detonator initiator.

[0049] In this embodiment, a scanner is provided, which is wirelessly connected to the electronic detonator initiator. This allows the scanner to scan all electronic detonators connected to each pair of busbars sequentially, facilitating the wireless transmission and input of the identification information of all electronic detonators into the electronic detonator initiator. In addition, the electronic detonator initiator is wirelessly connected to the electronic detonator driver, enabling the electronic detonator initiator to wirelessly control the electronic detonator driver to communicate, network, and control the detonation of multiple electronic detonators connected to each pair of busbars at each busbar interface. This allows for the networking and detonation control of a large number of electronic detonators. Attached Figure Description

[0103] In this embodiment, a switch electrically connected to the control module is installed in the mounting cavity. This facilitates data transmission and exchange via the switch, enabling data forwarding and feedback information collection. It also provides strong support for the precise detonation of the electronic detonator and the smooth execution of the entire blasting operation. In addition, the control module, drive module, and switch are electrically connected to the power module, which facilitates the supply of power to the control module, drive module, and switch via the power module.

[0104] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the electronic detonator driver in this embodiment also includes a power management circuit board 4. The power management circuit board 4 is approximately rectangular in shape and is suspended in the mounting cavity by multiple support columns 40. The voltage output of the power module is controlled by the power management circuit board 4. It should be noted that the installation method of the switch in this embodiment can be varied. In addition, several electronic components on the power management circuit board 4 in this embodiment are not shown in the figure. The specific types and models of the electronic components installed on the power management circuit board 4 can be selected according to the prior art as needed, and will not be described in detail here.

[0105] One embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the electronic detonator driver also includes indicator lights 115, 117, 118, and 119. Indicator lights 115, 117, 118, and 119 are respectively installed on the rear baffle 11 at intervals and are electrically connected to the power management circuit board 4.

[0106] One embodiment of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the electronic detonator driver also includes a charging base 111, which is mounted on the rear baffle 11. The charging base 111 is electrically connected to the power management circuit board 4. In this embodiment, the power module is specifically a battery, but a battery pack can also be used.

[0108] One embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the conductive terminal 2 includes:

[0109] The elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 is fixedly installed on the housing 1. The first end of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 extends into the mounting cavity, and the second end of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 protrudes out of the housing 1 and is exposed on the outside of the housing 1. A mounting through hole is formed inside the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20, and the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 can undergo elastic deformation along its length direction under the action of the compressive force along its length direction.

[0110] The conductive body 21 is installed in the mounting through hole. The first end of the conductive body 21 extends out of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 and into the mounting cavity. The second end of the conductive body 21 extends out of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 and is exposed on the outside of the housing 1. The second end of the conductive body 21 is provided with a conductive insertion through hole, which is exposed on the outside of the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20.

[0111] A busbar limiting sleeve 22 is fitted on the outside of the second end of the conductive body 21. The busbar limiting sleeve 22 has a plug-in clearance through hole 221 facing the conductive plug-in through hole. When the busbar limiting sleeve 22 is fitted on the outside of the second end of the conductive body 21, and the conductive plug-in through hole faces the plug-in clearance through hole 221, the end of the busbar limiting sleeve 22 near the elastic electrical insulation sleeve 20 stops against the elastic electrical insulation sleeve 20 and causes the elastic electrical insulation sleeve 20 to undergo elastic deformation. The conductive plug-in through hole and the plug-in clearance through hole 221 facing each other constitute a conductive connection part.

[0112] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the busbar limiting sleeve 22 is sleeved on the outside of the second end of the conductive body 21, and when the conductive insertion through hole is directly opposite the insertion clearance through hole 221, the end of the busbar limiting sleeve 22 near the elastic insulating sleeve 20 stops against the elastic insulating sleeve 20, causing the elastic insulating sleeve 20 to undergo elastic deformation. Therefore, when the control busbar is inserted into the conductive insertion through hole through the insertion clearance through hole 221, the elastic insulating sleeve 20 has a tendency to recover its elasticity and push the busbar limiting sleeve 22 outward. Under the outward pushing force of the elastic insulating sleeve 20, the busbar limiting sleeve 22 can press the control busbar inserted into the conductive insertion through hole. The busbar, thereby preventing the control busbar inserted into the conductive plug-in through hole from being squeezed against the inner wall of the conductive plug-in through hole, improves the reliability of the contact between the control busbar and the inner wall of the conductive plug-in through hole, and thus ensures the conductivity between the control busbar and the inner wall of the conductive plug-in through hole; furthermore, the busbar limiting sleeve 22 can limit and lock the control busbar inserted into the conductive plug-in through hole, which helps to improve the stability of the control busbar inserted into the conductive plug-in through hole and prevent the control busbar from falling out of the conductive plug-in through hole; in addition, the conductive plug-in through hole and the plug-in avoidance through hole 221 arranged opposite each other constitute the conductive wiring part, and the structure of the conductive wiring part is simple.

[0113] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the front baffle 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes for mounting the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 at intervals, and the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 is installed in the mounting holes; further, in this embodiment, the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 has a hollow cylindrical structure, the mounting through hole formed in the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20 has a cylindrical through hole structure, the conductive body 21 is approximately cylindrical, the conductive body 21 is interference-fitted into the mounting through hole formed in the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20, one end of the conductive body 21 near the mounting cavity extends into the mounting cavity, and the end of the conductive body 21 extending into the mounting cavity is electrically connected to the drive control board through a cable.

[0114] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, the conductive plug-in through hole is located near the elastic electrical insulating sleeve 20, and the conductive plug-in through hole extends vertically out of the conductive body 21 in the vertical direction; in addition, in this embodiment, the busbar limiting sleeve 22 is approximately a cylindrical structure with one end open, and a receiving cavity is formed inside the busbar limiting sleeve 22. After the busbar limiting sleeve 22 is fitted onto the front end of the conductive body 21, the front end of the conductive body 21 extends into the receiving cavity formed inside the busbar limiting sleeve 22.

[0115] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, to facilitate the placement of the busbar limiting sleeve 22 on the front end of the conductive body 21, ensuring that the insertion clearance through hole 221 is directly opposite the conductive insertion through hole, a pin mounting hole 211 is provided on the conductive body 21. The pin mounting hole 211 extends horizontally out of the front end of the conductive body 21. Correspondingly, the busbar limiting sleeve 22 has guide clearance through grooves 222 on its left and right sides, respectively, directly opposite the pin mounting hole 211. The guide clearance through grooves 222 are strip-shaped, and the pin mounting... A guide pin is inserted into hole 211, with both ends of the guide pin extending into guide clearance through slot 222. This allows the busbar limiting sleeve 22 to be limited by the guide pin inserted into the pin mounting hole 211. Pushing the busbar limiting sleeve 22 along the length of the conductive body 21 facilitates the alignment of the insertion clearance through hole 221 with the conductive insertion through hole. Furthermore, in this embodiment, two guide pins can be used instead of one. Additionally, the guide pin in this embodiment is not shown in the figure.
