Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of local switching of electrical equipment, and in particular to an explosion-proof operating column for the power and control circuits of local switching of electrical equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Existing electrical equipment operating columns typically only have the function of starting and stopping electrical control circuits. When operating the equipment, personnel need to go to the power distribution room to disconnect and restore power, which not only increases the workload, but also makes it easy for unsafe situations to occur due to personnel forgetting to disconnect power.
[0003] Electrical equipment control columns typically only have buttons for stopping and starting the motor. The electrical circuit diagram is as follows. Figure 1 As shown, the stop button SB1 is normally closed, and the start button SB2 is normally open. When SB2 is pressed, relay KM is energized, and KM1 below closes, allowing the motor to start normally. The existing operating column electrical circuit only has motor start / stop functions, which cannot prevent accidental motor start. Power outages in the power distribution room require operators to travel back and forth between the work site and the power distribution room, which is labor-intensive and prone to forgetting; modifying the automatic control interlock function is difficult and costly.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an explosion-proof operating column for locally switching on and off the power and control circuits of electrical equipment to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an explosion-proof operating column for locally switching on and off the power and control circuits of electrical equipment. This explosion-proof operating column can switch on and off the power and control circuits of electrical equipment on-site, preventing equipment damage or personal injury caused by personnel misoperation while the equipment is powered on.
[0006] This utility model provides an explosion-proof operating column for locally switching on and off the power and control circuits of electrical equipment, including a changeover switch. The changeover switch includes an upper contact and a lower contact. The upper contact is connected to a first control circuit, and the lower contact is connected to a second control circuit. The first control circuit and the second control circuit are connected in parallel. The first control circuit includes a start / stop switch that can be remotely controlled by the system and is connected to the upper contact. The second control circuit includes a stop button connected to the lower contact, a start button connected in series with the stop button, and a relay connected in parallel with the start button.
[0007] Preferably, after the pump stops, the selector switch is turned to the stop state, and neither the upper nor lower contact is closed.
[0008] Preferably, when the selector switch is turned to the upper contact and the upper contact is closed, it can be remotely controlled via the system remote control start / stop switch.
[0009] Preferably, when the changeover switch is turned to the local state, the lower contact is closed, the start button is pressed on-site, the relay is energized, and the stop button is pressed, the second circuit is disconnected.
[0010] Preferably, the stop button is a normally closed switch.
[0011] Preferably, the start button is a normally open switch.
[0012] Beneficial effects
[0013] This invention provides an explosion-proof operating column for locally controlling the power and control circuits of electrical equipment. The circuit can be controlled remotely, stopped, or locally. This effectively prevents unsafe situations caused by personnel forgetting to disconnect the power. The on-site operation switch controls the electrical circuit before and after use of the electrical equipment, reducing the workload of personnel going to the power distribution room to disconnect power.
[0014] Compared to automatic control interlocking system upgrades, this utility model is easier and cheaper to upgrade. Automatic control interlocking systems require multiple nodes such as PLC, host computer, and automatic control program, resulting in a high probability of failure and a complicated troubleshooting process. This utility model, on the other hand, is simple to troubleshoot and facilitates later maintenance. Attached Figure Description
