Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of explosion-proof industrial vehicle technology, and in particular to an explosion-proof power control device. Background Technology
[0002] In explosive hazardous locations in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, or food processing plants, explosion-proof industrial vehicles are commonly used for handling flammable and explosive materials. Currently, most of these explosion-proof vehicles use lead-acid batteries as their power source. However, lead-acid batteries have drawbacks such as low energy density, short lifespan, and long charging time. Specifically, low energy density limits the vehicle's range, and frequent charging severely impacts production efficiency; short lifespan necessitates frequent battery replacements, increasing operating costs.
[0003] To address these issues, most explosion-proof vehicles currently use lithium batteries instead of lead-acid batteries as their power source. However, due to the inherent safety problems of lithium batteries, which pose a potential risk of fire or explosion, lithium batteries are usually installed separately from other control devices.
[0004] The existing explosion-proof vehicles have separate control and power sources, requiring the design of a dedicated explosion-proof control enclosure. This increases design and manufacturing costs and complicates the vehicle structure. This separation leads to cumbersome internal wiring, increasing the probability of electrical faults. Furthermore, maintenance and troubleshooting are time-consuming and labor-intensive due to the separate enclosures for control and power. The additional explosion-proof control enclosure occupies valuable vehicle space, limiting maneuverability in confined and hazardous areas and further reducing operational efficiency. Moreover, traditional explosion-proof structures offer limited protection in IIB and IIIC hazardous environments with combined gas and powder hazards, failing to meet the operational requirements of these explosion-proof environments. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes an explosion-proof power control device capable of supplying power and controlling the entire vehicle in explosive gas-powder composite environments. Compared to traditional separate structures, the integrated cavity design of this explosion-proof power control box reduces safety hazards caused by component connections. Furthermore, the structural design of this explosion-proof power control device is simple, requiring no complex assembly processes, thus reducing manufacturing costs. It is suitable for IIB or IIIC level gas-powder composite explosion-proof environments. Compared to commonly available IIIB level explosion-proof products on the market, this explosion-proof power control device can operate stably in more dangerous and complex environments, expanding its application range and demonstrating strong versatility.
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides an explosion-proof power control device, comprising a sealed explosion-proof power control box, the explosion-proof power control box being divided into a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity containing a lithium battery pack and a lithium battery fuse electrically connected to the lithium battery pack, and the second cavity containing a BMS management system, a lithium battery control contactor group, and a vehicle control system electrically connected in sequence; the lithium battery pack is electrically connected to the lithium battery control contactor group.
[0007] According to an embodiment of this utility model, an explosion-proof power control device has at least the following technical effects: This explosion-proof power control device adopts an explosion-proof treatment, integrating a lithium battery pack, a BMS management system, and a vehicle control device. Compared to traditional separate structures, this reduces safety hazards caused by component connections. Simultaneously, the high-level explosion-proof enclosure design effectively resists dangers in explosive environments, providing reliable safety assurance for the operation of explosion-proof industrial vehicles. The protection level of this explosion-proof power control device is IP65, enabling its use in gas-powder composite explosion environments with a minimum level of IIB and IIIC. This is far superior to existing control devices with an explosion-proof level of only IIIB, meeting the requirements of various explosion-proof industrial electric vehicles in Zone 1 explosive gas and conductive dust explosion environments, thus improving the product's market adaptability and versatility. By placing the vehicle control system and the BMS management system in the same cavity, the connection lines between the two are greatly simplified, facilitating mutual detection and forming the control core of the entire explosion-proof power control device, and even the control core of the explosion-proof industrial vehicle. The BMS management system provides the necessary guarantee for stable power supply to the entire explosion-proof power control device. Equipped with a lithium battery power supply unit, which boasts high energy density and excellent charge / discharge performance, the explosion-proof industrial vehicle achieves long driving range. It also supports fast charging, reducing charging time and improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, the BMS management system monitors the lithium battery pack status in real time and precisely controls the charging and discharging process, providing a necessary guarantee for stable power supply to the entire explosion-proof power control device, further enhancing the reliability and stability of the vehicle control system. During installation and wiring of the explosion-proof industrial vehicle, simply connect the load wires directly to the explosion-proof power control device to complete the installation; there is no need to add an additional explosion-proof control box for a separate vehicle control system, making the structure of the explosion-proof industrial vehicle more compact. The equipped lithium battery power supply unit, with its high energy density and excellent charge / discharge performance, achieves long driving range and supports fast charging, reducing charging time and improving operational efficiency.

[0013] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, a pressure balancing device is installed on the explosion-proof power control box.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention discloses an explosion-proof power control device, comprising a sealed explosion-proof power control box 100, which is divided into a first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102. The first cavity 101 contains a lithium battery pack 200 and a lithium battery fuse 201 electrically connected to the lithium battery pack 200. The second cavity 102 contains a BMS management system 300, a lithium battery control contactor group 301, and a vehicle control system 302, which are electrically connected in sequence. The lithium battery pack 200 is electrically connected to the lithium battery control contactor group 301.
[0031] In this embodiment, the explosion-proof power control enclosure 100 is the main core component. It is a sealed enclosure of explosion-proof type and shell protection type, manufactured in accordance with the explosion-proof type specified in GB / T3836 standard. The explosion-proof power control enclosure 100 is divided into cavity one 101 and cavity two 102, which are adjacent, connected and independent spaces. The shell of the explosion-proof power control enclosure 100 is made of steel plate, cast steel or cast iron, and the shell can withstand a test pressure of 1.5MPa to 2MPa to ensure reliable operation in explosive environments. Cavity one 101 carries the lithium battery pack 200 and the lithium battery fuse 201. The lithium battery fuse 201 provides safety protection for the lithium battery pack 200. In the event of a short circuit or abnormal situation, the lithium battery fuse 201 cuts off the power source in time to ensure the safety of the vehicle control system 302. The cavity 2 102 houses the BMS management system 300, the lithium battery control contactor group 301, and the vehicle control system 302. The lithium battery pack 200 is electrically connected to the lithium battery control contactor group 301.
[0032] Specifically, the BMS management system 300 performs a self-test. If the self-test is successful, the entire lithium battery contactor group closes, and the lithium battery pack 200 continuously supplies power to the vehicle control system 302, thereby achieving vehicle control. If an abnormality occurs, the power supply is stopped immediately. The vehicle control system 302 and the BMS management system 300 are housed in the same cavity, greatly simplifying the connection between them. This not only facilitates mutual detection but also forms the control core of the entire explosion-proof power control device, and even the control core of the explosion-proof industrial vehicle. During the installation and wiring process of the explosion-proof industrial vehicle, only the load wires need to be directly connected to this explosion-proof power control device to complete the installation. There is no need to add an additional explosion-proof control box to install a separate vehicle control system 302, making the structure of the explosion-proof industrial vehicle more compact. The BMS management system 300 provides the necessary guarantee for the stable power supply of the entire explosion-proof power control device. The equipped lithium battery power supply, with its high energy density and excellent charge and discharge performance, enables the explosion-proof industrial vehicle to have a long driving range, while supporting fast charging, reducing vehicle charging waiting time and improving operating efficiency. Furthermore, the BMS management system 300 monitors the status of the lithium battery pack 200 in real time and precisely controls the charging and discharging process of the lithium battery pack 200, providing the necessary guarantee for stable power supply to the entire explosion-proof power control device, and further improving the reliability and stability of the vehicle control system 302.
[0033] Furthermore, this explosion-proof power control device adopts an explosion-proof treatment, integrating the lithium battery pack 200, BMS management system 300, and vehicle control device. Compared to traditional separate structures, this reduces safety hazards caused by component connections. Simultaneously, the high-level explosion-proof enclosure design effectively resists dangers in explosive environments, providing reliable safety assurance for the operation of explosion-proof industrial vehicles. This explosion-proof power control device has an IP65 protection rating, enabling its use in gas-powder composite explosion environments with a minimum rating of IIB and IIIC. This is far superior to existing control devices with an explosion-proof rating of only IIIB, meeting the requirements of various explosion-proof industrial electric vehicles in Zone 1 explosive gas and conductive dust explosion environments, thus improving the product's market adaptability and versatility.
