Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of explosion-proof frequency converters for mining, and specifically to a wireless control device for explosion-proof frequency converter equipment used in mining. Background Technology
[0002] Due to explosion-proof and intrinsically safe requirements, most frequency converters are housed in stainless steel casings with explosion-proof properties. Furthermore, because coal mines are filled with coal dust, many devices require airtight protection, necessitating specific sealing and thickness specifications for the casing. This results in extremely heavy and thick casings for frequency converters. When debugging, downloading programs, or downloading parameters, the casing must be opened for wired connections. However, opening and closing the casing is difficult, time-consuming, and increases the risk of injury. Regular maintenance and inspection are also challenging, increasing the risk of accidents. Wired connections are susceptible to damage from high-voltage, high-current, and high-energy wired transmissions during operation. The presence of cable outlets in wired transmissions can also compromise the controller's sealing, leading to corrosion or damage from moisture in humid or salt-spray environments over time. The explosion-proof enclosure of the frequency converter is made of stainless steel and other metal materials and is extremely thick. Ordinary wireless signal devices will be blocked and reflected by the metal enclosure, which will affect data transmission. Therefore, it is necessary to design a wireless control device that can penetrate the metal enclosure to modify the internal parameters of the device and monitor its status in real time.
