Abstract

The explosion-proof lamp provided includes a light source cavity and a drive cavity independent of each other. The drive cavity is has a power driver and a junction box, is connected to the light source cavity via a conducting wire, and drives and controls a light source in the light source cavity to be turned on. The light source cavity includes a heat sink, a glass cover, and the light source. The glass cover and the heat sink are connected to form the cavity, and the light source is mounted in the cavity. The heat sink includes a heat dissipation bottom plate and a plurality of heat dissipation fins annularly mounted on the heat dissipation bottom plate, absorbs heat generated in the light source cavity, and dissipates the heat into an external environment.

Claims (26)

1. An explosion-proof lamp, characterized by comprising a light source cavity and a drive cavity independent of each other, wherein

the drive cavity is an increased-safety cavity, is provided therein with a power driver and a junction box, is connected to the light source cavity via a conducting wire by means of an insulating sleeve, and drives and controls a light source in the light source cavity to be turned on;

the light source cavity is a flameproof cavity, and comprises a heat sink, a glass cover, the light source, and a metal frame for securing the glass cover;

the glass cover and the heat sink are connected to form the light source cavity, and the light source is mounted in the light source cavity;

the metal frame comprises (i) an outer vertical edge and an outward protruding shoulder configured to receive a first seal ring, and (ii) an inward protruding shoulder configured to receive a second seal ring,

wherein a portion of the heat sink extends in a vertical direction downwards past the light source and is disposed around the outer vertical edge of the metal frame and seated against the outward protruding shoulder of the metal frame, the first seal ring being disposed on the protruding shoulder of the metal frame and between the metal frame and the heat sink,

wherein an edge portion of the glass cover extends outwardly and is seated against the inward protruding shoulder of the metal frame, the second seal ring being disposed on the inward protruding shoulder of the metal frame and between the metal frame and the glass cover; and

the heat sink comprises a heat dissipation bottom plate and a plurality of heat dissipation fins annularly mounted on the heat dissipation bottom plate, absorbs heat generated in the light source cavity, and dissipates the heat into an external environment.

2. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 1 , wherein:

the heat dissipation fins of the heat sink are separately distributed in a radial annular form; and

outer contours of all of the heat dissipation fins of the heat sink form a cylinder.

3. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 1 , wherein:

the heat dissipation fins of the heat sink are separately distributed in a radial annular form; and

outer contours of all of the heat dissipation fins of the heat sink form a truncated cone.

4. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 2 , further comprising an isolation column provided between the heat sink of the light source cavity and the drive cavity and used to control spacing between the light source cavity and the drive cavity.

5. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 1 , wherein:

the light source is an LED light source.

6. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 1 , wherein:

a metal mesh is further provided on an outer side of the glass cover, and surrounds the glass cover from the outer side.

7. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 5 , wherein:

in the light source cavity, the LED light source is mounted on a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is mounted on the heat dissipation bottom plate of the heat sink.

8. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 1 , further comprising an upper cover connected to the drive cavity and used to close the drive cavity and provide a mounting position for the explosion-proof lamp.

9. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 1 , wherein the metal frame and the heat dissipation bottom plate are threadingly connected to achieve explosion proofness based on flameproofness.

10. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 8 , wherein

a third seal ring is mounted between the upper cover and the drive cavity.

11. The explosion-proof lamp according to claim 3 , further comprising an isolation column provided between the heat sink of the light source cavity and the drive cavity and used to control spacing between the light source cavity and the drive cavity.
