Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of explosion-proof distribution box technology, specifically to an explosion-proof distribution box. Background Technology
[0002] Explosion-proof distribution boxes are electrical distribution equipment specifically designed for flammable and explosive environments. They effectively prevent internal explosions of electrical equipment or external explosions caused by sparks. They are suitable for use in petrochemical plants, oil platforms, chemical plants, pharmaceutical plants, coal mines, metallurgical plants, shipbuilding factories, military industries, textile mills, and other similar locations.
[0003] The existing explosion-proof distribution boxes on the market are mainly of the explosion-proof shell type and the flameproof type. One type achieves the explosion-proof effect by increasing the outer surface area to dissipate sparks and heat. The other type adopts the principle of explosion-proof isolation, which prevents the impact of electrical component failure on the surrounding environment by setting up isolation elements such as partitions or fuses inside. However, neither of these two types of explosion-proof distribution boxes can prevent the phenomenon of high-temperature combustion caused by electrical component failure, which will cause damage to itself.

Additionally, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.
[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] An explosion-proof distribution box, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, it includes:
[0025] The fixing plate 4 is a square plate structure, fixed to the wall, and has a circumferential rib ring 14 on its front side wall, with a sealing ring 15 on the rib ring 14. The mounting plate 13 is fixed to the fixing plate 4 inside the rib ring 14, and the electrical components are mounted on the mounting plate 13. The front cover 3 of the electrical box is a square box with an open rear side, which is adapted to the rib ring 14, and its left side is hinged to the front side wall of the fixing plate 4. After the front cover 3 of the electrical box is closed, it fits onto the rib ring 14, and the sealing ring 15 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the front cover 3 of the electrical box (e.g., Figure 4 As shown), a seal is formed. The power switch 10, electrical meter 9, and control module are installed on the front cover 3 of the electrical box and connected to the electrical components inside the front cover 3. A limit block 11 is also formed on the right side wall of the front cover 3 of the electrical box, and a sliding block 12 is provided on the fixed plate 4 corresponding to the limit block 11. The sliding block 12 is a U-shaped structure, and its two ends are slidably installed on the fixed plate 4. After the limit block 11 is sleeved and fitted inside the sliding block 12, the front cover 3 of the electrical box is fixed in the closed state.
[0026] Nitrogen replacement structures, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes an inflation pipe 5, an exhaust pipe 6, and a nitrogen cylinder 7; the inflation pipe 5 and the exhaust pipe 6 are respectively located at the bottom of the front cover 3 of the electrical box, and both are equipped with valves.

Close the front cover 3 of the electrical box and move the sliding block 12 to fit the limit block 11 inside the sliding block 12, so that the front cover 3 of the electrical box is fixed and sealed. Open the valves of the exhaust pipe 6 and the inflation pipe 5 to allow nitrogen to enter the front cover 3 of the electrical box and squeeze out the air. Read the gas composition through the meter 9. When the nitrogen content is sufficient and the electrical components are soaked, close the valves of the exhaust pipe 6 and the inflation pipe 5, and then close the top dust cover 1.
[0031] When the electrical meter 9 shows that the nitrogen content is insufficient, open the valves of the exhaust pipe 6 and the filling pipe 5 to replenish the nitrogen. After the nitrogen content is restored, close the valves of the exhaust pipe 6 and the filling pipe 5.
