[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4An explosion-proof far-infrared panel includes an upper cover 1, a base 2, a far-infrared panel 3, a thermocouple 4, and an explosion-proof hose 5. The far-infrared panel 3 is sealed between the upper cover 1 and the base 2, forming an explosion-proof cavity 6. The lower contacts of the far-infrared panel 3 are sealed within the explosion-proof cavity 6 with anti-spark adhesive, eliminating the risk of electrical spark leakage between the contacts. The explosion-proof hose 5 communicates with the explosion-proof cavity 6, allowing the positive pressure input of an inert gas (such as nitrogen) to create a physical isolation layer within the sealed cavity, effectively preventing the infiltration of external flammable and explosive gases and significantly reducing the risk of explosion. The thermocouple 4 is located within the explosion-proof cavity 6 and abuts against the bottom end of the far-infrared panel 3. In a sealed environment, the thermocouple 4 directly monitors the temperature of the far-infrared panel 3 in real time, enabling precise temperature control and effectively preventing material thermal failure or ignition risks caused by overheating. By adopting this structure, and utilizing a sealed positive pressure structure and multiple safety designs, safe use in the positive electrode oven is ensured, while improving heating efficiency and energy utilization.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, the upper cover 1 includes an upper frame 11 and a mesh plate 12. The mesh plate 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the upper frame 11, and the mesh of the mesh plate 12 is relatively wide, so as not to affect the emission of far-infrared waves. Under the premise of ensuring normal operation, it can prevent the electrode 6 from being scratched. The far-infrared plate 3 is sandwiched between the upper frame 11 and the base 2 to ensure that the far-infrared plate 3 is stably installed.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, a support base 7 is provided below the far-infrared plate 3. The support base 7 includes a frame 71 and a stainless steel plate 72. The stainless steel plate 72 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the frame 71 by laser welding. The upper surface of the stainless steel plate 72 is provided with a polished mirror structure, which can efficiently reflect the heat radiated downward by the far-infrared plate 3 and redirect it back to the electrode, significantly reducing heat loss and improving heat utilization.

[0028] Specifically, the frame 71 is supported below the far-infrared plate 3 to ensure the tight connection between the far-infrared plate 3 and the upper cover 1 and the base 2. A sealing ring 8 is provided between the far-infrared plate 3 and the upper frame 11 and the frame 71. The double-layer sealing ring design effectively enhances the overall sealing performance and ensures that the airtightness is maintained after long-term use.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4In this embodiment of the present invention, a fixed base 73 and a spring 74 are provided in the middle of the stainless steel plate 72. The two work together to form a dynamic buffer structure. The thermocouple 4 is installed on the upper end of the spring 74. The middle part of the spring 74 is connected to the stainless steel plate 72 through the fixed base 73. The lower end of the spring 74 abuts against the base 2. It can effectively absorb mechanical vibration when the oven is running. When the equipment vibrates due to the operation of internal components or external environmental factors, the spring 74 can buffer the vibration impact through its own elastic deformation, so that the thermocouple 4 always remains stably abutting against the bottom end of the far-infrared plate 3, avoiding loosening and displacement caused by vibration, ensuring the continuity and accuracy of temperature monitoring data, and providing a reliable guarantee for the precise temperature control of the far-infrared plate 3.

[0030] Specifically, the space between the stainless steel plate 72 and the base 2 is filled with thermal insulation cotton 9. This thermal insulation cotton 9 is made of a high-efficiency heat insulation material, and its fine fiber structure forms countless tiny air chambers. Utilizing the low thermal conductivity of air, it greatly hinders heat conduction and loss. At the same time, the thermal insulation cotton 9 is tightly fitted between the two, completely wrapping the bottom area of ​​the support base 7 and the explosion-proof cavity 6. This not only further reduces the downward heat loss of the far-infrared plate 3 and improves the thermal energy utilization rate, but also effectively maintains the temperature stability inside the explosion-proof cavity, reducing the safety risks that may be caused by temperature fluctuations, and achieving dual optimization of equipment safety and performance.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, one end of the base 2 is provided with a gas pressurization hole and a mounting hole. The gas pressurization hole is specifically used to connect the explosion-proof hose 5. In actual use, the explosion-proof hose 5 is tightly fitted into the gas pressurization hole, forming a stable and sealed connection structure. Through this connection, inert gas (such as nitrogen) can be smoothly introduced into the explosion-proof cavity 6 under positive pressure, continuously building a physical isolation layer, effectively isolating external flammable and explosive gases, and building a solid safety barrier for equipment operation. The mounting hole is used to install the explosion-proof gland 10. The cables of the far-infrared plate 3 and the thermocouple 4 are orderly led to the outside of the base 2 through the explosion-proof gland 10. As a professional explosion-proof sealing device, the explosion-proof gland 10 can not only reliably fix the cable and prevent it from being damaged by shaking or pulling during equipment operation, but also ensure that the cable exit point meets the strict explosion-proof requirements through a special sealing structure, preventing external dangerous gases from entering the explosion-proof cavity through the cable channel, and also preventing dangerous factors such as electric sparks from leaking out of the cavity, greatly improving the overall explosion-proof performance and electrical safety of the equipment. This series of meticulously designed interfaces and components work together to enable the base 2 to perform exceptionally well in key functions such as gas input and cable lead-out, laying a solid foundation for the stable and safe operation of the entire explosion-proof far-infrared panel system.

[0032] Reference Figure 1In this embodiment of the invention, a flow meter 51 is connected to the explosion-proof hose 5. The flow meter 51 uses high-precision sensing technology to monitor the gas flow rate entering the explosion-proof cavity 6 in millisecond-level real time. Whether it is the initial filling of inert gas or the gas replenishment operation during operation, the flow meter 51 can accurately feed back the gas flow data to the control system, so that the operator can keep abreast of the gas input status and ensure that the positive pressure value in the cavity is always maintained within the safe threshold range, providing data support for the effectiveness of the physical isolation layer. In addition, the air inlet of the explosion-proof hose 5 is equipped with a one-way valve 52. The one-way valve adopts a spring self-closing structure design, which has high sensitivity and reliable sealing. When gas is input, the one-way valve 52 automatically opens under the action of air pressure to ensure the smooth flow of inert gas. When the gas supply system pressure drops or the gas supply stops, the one-way valve 52 quickly rebounds and closes, forming a solid gas barrier, effectively preventing the inert gas in the explosion-proof cavity from flowing out in reverse, and at the same time preventing the backflow of external flammable and explosive gases. The dual configuration of flow meter 51 and check valve 52 not only enables dynamic monitoring of gas flow, but also establishes a safety protection mechanism to prevent gas backflow, providing dual protection for the stable operation of the explosion-proof far-infrared panel in high-risk environments.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment of the invention, adjustable legs 21 are provided at the corners of the base 2 to facilitate adaptation to different drying heights, greatly improving the environmental adaptability and usage flexibility of the explosion-proof far-infrared panel. The adjustable legs 21 adopt a modular assembly structure, including a fixed bracket 22, adjustable legs 23, and an adjusting handle 24. The fixed bracket 22 is firmly fixed to the bottom of the base 2 through high-strength welding or bolt connections, providing a solid and reliable foundation support for the entire adjustment mechanism. The adjustable legs 23 are securely connected to the lower end of the fixed bracket 22 via the adjusting handle 24. During adjustment, the operator can flexibly extend and retract the adjustable legs 23 along the guide structure of the fixed bracket 22 according to different drying requirements or installation environments. Then, by rotating the adjusting handle 24, the adjustable legs 23 can be quickly tightened and loosened to precisely adjust the explosion-proof far-infrared panel to the appropriate height. This design can not only adapt to various sizes of drying containers and production line layouts, but also effectively cope with complex installation conditions such as uneven ground, ensuring that the explosion-proof far-infrared plate remains stable during use, avoiding problems such as unstable equipment operation and uneven heating caused by unsuitable height or tilted ground, and significantly improving the practicality and work efficiency of the equipment.

[0034] Reference Figure 4In this embodiment of the invention, the frame of the base 2 is provided with a sealing groove 25, and an outer sealing ring 26 is provided inside the sealing groove 25. When the upper cover 1 and the base 2 are closed, the outer sealing ring 26 is compressed and undergoes elastic deformation, tightly fitting the connection between the upper cover 1 and the base 2, effectively filling all tiny gaps and forming an all-round, dead-angle-free sealing structure. This design not only prevents external dust, moisture, corrosive gases and other impurities from entering the explosion-proof cavity, avoiding damage to core components such as the far-infrared plate 3 and thermocouple 4, but also prevents the leakage of inert gas inside the cavity, maintaining a stable positive pressure environment inside the explosion-proof cavity, further improving the explosion-proof performance and operational reliability of the equipment.
