[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] Refer Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a specific implementation manner of a control system for an explosion-proof and intrinsically safe underground tunneling device (hereinafter referred to as "control system").

[0036] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the control system of the explosion-proof and intrinsically safe underground tunneling device includes an operation box 1, a display screen 2 and a PLC module 3. The display screen 2 is installed in the operation box 1. The operation box is an intrinsically safe operation box, and the display screen is an explosion-proof display screen. The PLC module 3 is installed in an electric control box 4, and the electric control box 4 is explosion-proof and intrinsically safe. The PLC module 3 controls the tunneling device. The operation box has several switches, an STC8G1K08 chip, a MAX485 chip and an NPN type triode. The number of switches is preferably 12. The STC8G1K08 chip, the MAX485 chip and the NPN type triode Q are important components of a 12-channel switch quantity signal acquisition circuit. The switch quantity signal of the switch is connected to the input pin of the STC8G1K08 chip. Refer to Figure 3For example, input pin P10 is connected to the 8th switch signal, and the corresponding control function is "downward scrolling". Similarly, input pin P32 is connected to the 1st switch signal, and the corresponding control function is "oil pump". The TXD terminal of the STC8G1K08 chip is connected to the DI terminal of the MAX485 chip, and the RXD terminal of the STC8G1K08 chip is connected to the RO terminal of the MAX485 chip. The base of the NPN transistor Q is connected to the DI terminal of the MAX485 chip through the first resistor R1, and the collector of the NPN transistor Q is connected to the RE and DE terminals of the MAX485 chip. The emitter of the NPN transistor Q is grounded, and the collector of the NPN transistor Q is connected to the power module through a pull-up resistor R2 with a resistance of 4.7kΩ. The MAX485 chip is connected to the display screen 2 through signal lines A and B. The display screen is connected to the PLC module through signal lines. In a preferred embodiment, the display screen is connected to the PLC module through signal lines A and B. The display screen 2 has a first communication port COM1 and a second communication port COM2. The second communication port COM2 is connected to the MAX485 chip, and the first communication port COM1 is connected to the PLC module.

[0037] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, several switch signal data are sent to the display screen through the STC8G1K08 chip and the MAX485 chip. The display screen acts as a relay station, and the switch signal data is sent to the PLC module. The display screen used in the underground tunneling equipment is in the control box, which is intrinsically safe. The PLC module is in the electrical control box, which is explosion-proof and intrinsically safe. The MAX485 chip and the display screen transmit signal data through signal lines A and B. Only two wires are required, which greatly reduces the number of wires and significantly improves reliability. Only one explosion-proof safety barrier is needed, which greatly reduces the hardware cost.

[0038] See Figure 3To prevent voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, and switching actions in the circuit, i.e., to prevent transient high voltage, the A signal line is equipped with a first pull-down resistor R3 and a first TVS transient suppression diode D3. The first pull-down resistor R3 is connected to the power module, and the first TVS transient suppression diode D3 is grounded. The B signal line is equipped with a second pull-down resistor R4, which is grounded. A second TVS transient suppression diode D4 is connected in parallel with the second pull-down resistor R4 and is grounded. When encountering transient high voltage, the first TVS transient suppression diode D3 and the second TVS transient suppression diode D4 will change from a high-resistance state to a low-resistance state in a very short time (nanosecond level), dissipating the overvoltage energy to ground through themselves, clamping the voltage of the protected circuit within a safe range, and preventing downstream modules (such as displays) from being broken down or damaged by high voltage.

[0039] See Figure 3 The power supply module includes a 12V input terminal VD12, two diodes D1 connected in series, a voltage regulator chip LM7805, and a filter capacitor C1. The two diodes D1 connected in series prevent reverse power connection. The voltage regulator chip LM7805 can stabilize the output voltage at 5V±5% through its internal adjustment circuit, ensuring that the downstream load chips STC8G1K08 and MAX485 obtain a stable operating voltage and avoiding abnormal operation or damage to the chips due to input voltage fluctuations. The filter capacitor C1 is preferably a 0.1μF ceramic capacitor, which has the characteristics of fast high-frequency response and can quickly absorb high-frequency noise, making the output voltage smoother and avoiding interference from high-frequency fluctuation signals that affect the normal operation of the downstream load chips STC8G1K08 and MAX485. When the downstream load changes suddenly (such as instantaneous start-up or current surge), the 0.1μF ceramic capacitor can act as a "miniature energy storage capacitor" to quickly provide instantaneous current, reduce instantaneous fluctuations in output voltage, and prevent the voltage regulator chip LM7805 from becoming unstable due to load surges.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 3The principle of transmitting the switching signal is as follows: The NPN transistor Q acts as a switch, and its on / off state is determined by the control signal. Specifically, when the TXD terminal is high, the DI terminal of the MAX485 chip is high, the NPN transistor Q is turned on, the collector of the NPN transistor Q is approximately grounded, and the / RE and DE terminals of the MAX485 chip are active low, thus the MAX485 chip enters receive mode. When the TXD terminal is low, the DI terminal of the MAX485 chip is low, the NPN transistor Q is turned off, the collector of the NPN transistor Q is pulled high by the pull-up resistor R2, and the / RE and DE terminals of the MAX485 chip are pulled high, thus the MAX485 chip enters transmit mode. The MAX485 chip sends the switching signal to the second communication port COM2 of the display screen 2. The first communication port COM1 of the display screen 2 forwards the switching signal to the PLC module, which controls the tunneling equipment.

[0041] See Figure 4 The MAX485 chip sends the switch signal to the second communication port COM2 of the display screen 2. The first communication port COM1 of the display screen 2 sends the switch signal to the PLC module. There is an address mapping relationship between the first communication port COM1 and the PLC module. The display screen 2 has 12 addresses from source address 2#00 to 2#11, which can receive 12 channels of switch signals. The target address is the PLC module address V0.0 to V0.3 and V1.0 to V1.7.
