Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of communication isolation module design technology, specifically to a communication isolation module for a coal mining machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of coal mining machine electrical control systems, traditional communication solutions mostly employ discrete CAN bus and RS485 bus isolation devices. Existing technologies typically use single-channel or limited-channel communication isolation modules, requiring multiple independent isolation modules to be arranged within the control box, resulting in large space requirements and complex wiring. Furthermore, existing isolation devices often use a one-in-one-out bus architecture, with each node sharing the isolation circuit, which easily leads to signal crosstalk in environments with strong electromagnetic interference, causing problems such as increased communication frame error rates and frequent data retransmissions. The lack of complete isolation between communication lines and power supply lines further exacerbates the risk of signal distortion. Although some solutions attempt to improve anti-interference capabilities by adding shielding layers or optimizing wiring, limitations such as low module integration and poor channel scalability make it difficult to meet the multi-node, high-real-time communication requirements of modern coal mining machines. Especially in large-scale fully mechanized mining faces, existing technologies struggle to achieve an effective balance between multi-channel independent isolation and centralized control, hindering the intelligent upgrading process of coal mining machines.
[0003] Therefore, the existing technology still needs further development. Utility Model Content
