Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of explosion-proof electrical technology, specifically to an explosion-proof cable reel that is easy to assemble. Background Technology
[0002] Cable reels are reels used by industrial and mining enterprises to wind wires and cables. They are currently widely used in many industries such as oil fields and mines, construction, machinery manufacturing, scientific research, ports and docks, shopping malls, hotels, and road and bridge construction.
[0003] Cable reels are commonly used in special environments such as mines and oil fields, or other environments containing flammable gas mixtures. These environments invariably contain flammable and explosive gases; if ordinary cable reels are used, even slight friction between the plug and socket can generate tiny sparks that pose a danger. Therefore, cable reels need to be explosion-proof and have a built-in miniature leakage current switch to quickly cut off the power supply in the event of a leakage, ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. However, existing explosion-proof cable reels, in order to achieve these functions, suffer from drawbacks such as complex explosion-proof structures and cumbersome production and assembly processes.
[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need to design an explosion-proof cable reel that is easy to assemble in order to overcome the defects of existing explosion-proof cable reels. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an easily assembled explosion-proof cable reel, comprising a pusher frame and a cable reel body, and an explosion-proof inner liner assembly. The explosion-proof inner liner assembly includes an inner liner body and an inner liner flange connected to the inner liner body. A protective switch is connected within the inner liner body. The cable reel body has a receiving cavity, with an installation port on the side of the receiving cavity near the pusher frame. The inner liner body is located within the receiving cavity. One side of the inner liner flange is connected to the pusher frame, and the other side of the inner liner flange is connected to the outer wall of the installation port. A handle switch is connected to the pusher frame, and the output shaft of the handle switch passes through the inner liner flange and is linked to the protective switch. An explosion-proof socket is provided on the side of the receiving cavity away from the pusher frame. The inner liner body has a wire-passing hole for electrical connection between the protective switch and the explosion-proof socket.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the inner flange sequentially includes a first mounting plate, a connecting column, and a second mounting plate. The first mounting plate is connected to the pusher frame by fasteners, and the second mounting plate is connected to the outer wall of the mounting port by fasteners.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the second mounting plate has a first threaded connection on the side near the accommodating cavity, and the inner liner body has a second threaded connection on the side near the inner liner flange. The inner liner body is connected to the inner liner flange through the cooperation of the second threaded connection and the first threaded connection, and the inner liner body and the inner liner flange form an inner liner cavity.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the protective switch is connected inside the inner liner cavity on the side away from the inner liner flange, and the wire hole is connected to both the receiving cavity and the inner liner cavity.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the inner flange has a linkage hole, and the output shaft of the handle switch is connected to the linkage hole.
[0010] In one possible implementation, the pusher frame includes a frame and a pusher connected to the frame. The frame includes a support portion, with a column on the side of the support portion near the pusher. The pusher is connected to the column, and support feet and wheels are respectively provided at the front and rear of the side of the support portion away from the pusher.
[0011] In one possible implementation, one side of the column is a mounting groove, and the handle switch is connected within the mounting groove.
[0012] In one possible implementation, a take-up handle is provided on the side of the accommodating cavity away from the pusher frame.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the protective switch is at least one of a residual current circuit breaker and a miniature circuit breaker.
[0014] In one possible implementation, both the inner liner body and the inner liner flange are integrally formed.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages: This technical solution for explosion-proof cable reels features a modular design for the internal explosion-proof electrical components. The protective switches are integrated into a single, independent explosion-proof inner liner assembly. Pre-assembly and testing can be performed before installation into the cable reel body. Simply insert the pre-assembled inner liner assembly into the receiving cavity through the installation port, and then secure it to the pusher frame and cable reel body in one go using the inner liner flange. This significantly reduces the number and complexity of parts in online assembly, lowers assembly difficulty and time, and facilitates large-scale production with better consistency. Furthermore, if the cable reel malfunctions, maintenance personnel do not need to disassemble the entire device; they can simply unscrew the connection and remove the entire explosion-proof inner liner assembly from the installation port to conduct a comprehensive inspection, testing, or replacement of the internal protective switches and wiring.
[0016] This technical solution for explosion-proof cable reels seals all components most prone to generating electric sparks within an explosion-proof inner chamber, isolating the protective switch actuator from the external environment. The chamber can withstand the pressure generated by an internal explosion and prevents flames from spreading outward. Through physical isolation and enhanced sealing, the safety level in flammable and explosive environments is significantly improved. Operators can safely control the power supply to and from the cable reel from the outside using a handle switch, satisfying both explosion-proof requirements and ease of operation.
