[0003] Existing explosion-proof control boxes mostly rely on a single sealing ring to seal the box body and cover. After long-term use, the sealing ring is prone to aging, leading to a decline in sealing performance and posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0014] This invention employs a dual-sealing structure with a main sealing element and an auxiliary sealing ring. The main sealing element uses a fluororubber sealing ring with excellent sealing performance and aging resistance, while the auxiliary sealing ring is made of an elastic metal gasket.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an explosion-proof control box according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an explosion-proof control box includes a box body 1, a box cover 2, a main sealing element 3, an auxiliary sealing ring 4, a mounting bracket 5, and a double sealing structure 6.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 is made of high-strength cast aluminum alloy through integral casting, possessing excellent structural strength and impact resistance. The outer surface of the housing 1 is treated with electrostatic powder coating to form a corrosion-resistant and insulating protective layer. The front end of the housing 1 has an opening, and a ring-shaped sealing groove 11 is machined on the end face of the opening. Multiple fixing posts 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 outside the sealing groove 11. The fixing posts 12 are integrally formed with the housing 1 and are evenly arranged in a ring around the opening of the housing. Each fixing post 12 has a fixing threaded hole 13 in the middle.
[0026] In this embodiment, the upper and lower rear ends of the housing 1 are respectively fixedly connected to mounting brackets 5 by bolts, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the control box on the wall or equipment.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the cover 2 is also made of high-strength cast aluminum alloy in one piece. A secondary sealing ring 4 is fixedly provided on the side of the cover 2 facing the box body 1. This secondary sealing ring 4 is an elastic metal gasket, preferably made of stainless steel or copper alloy, possessing a certain degree of elasticity and resistance to deformation. A connecting plate 21 is integrally formed at the position opposite to the fixing post 12 on the box body 1 on the surface of the cover 2. A connecting hole 22 is provided on the connecting plate 21. An observation window 23 is also embedded in the cover 2. The observation window 23 is made of explosion-proof tempered glass, used to observe the status of components inside the box without affecting the explosion-proof performance.
[0028] The main sealing element 3 is a fluororubber sealing ring, which has good high temperature resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance and explosion-proof performance, and is set in the sealing groove 11 of the housing 1.
[0029] Assembly and sealing process:
[0030] First, place the main sealing element 3—the fluororubber sealing ring—flat in the sealing groove 11 of the housing 1. Then, align the auxiliary sealing ring 4 on the inner side of the housing cover 2 with the sealing groove 11, and pass the fastener 24 through the connecting hole 22 on the connecting plate 21 and screw it into the fixing threaded hole 13 of the fixing post 12. As the fastener 24 is gradually tightened, the housing cover 2 presses against the housing 1, and the auxiliary sealing ring 4 presses against the main sealing element 3 and partially embeds itself into the sealing groove 11.
[0031] During this process, the elastic metal auxiliary sealing ring 4 undergoes elastic deformation, applying uniform compression force to the internal fluororubber sealing ring to ensure it fully fills the sealing gap. Simultaneously, it forms a tight metal-to-metal contact with the sidewall of the sealing groove 11, constituting a second sealing barrier. Ultimately, this results in a dual-sealing structure 6 combining elastic compression and physical interlocking, greatly improving the reliability and durability of the seal.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] When operating in flammable and explosive environments, the explosion-proof control box's double-sealing structure 6 effectively prevents external flammable gases or dust from entering the box. Even if the fluororubber main seal 3 shows slight aging after long-term use, the elastic metal auxiliary sealing ring 4 still provides effective sealing protection, significantly delaying the decline in overall sealing performance and offering high safety redundancy. The robust connection between the box body 1 and the cover 2, along with the excellent materials and surface treatment, further ensures the overall structure's explosion resistance, corrosion resistance, and service life.
[0034] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
