Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the sequential ignition of electrical detonators in a plurality of ignition circuits, each of which is assigned to a detonating circuit, consisting of an ignition machine, electrical supply lines and switches for arming the detonating circuits.
- the electronic detonator switch ensures that the specified firing order is reliably maintained. In addition, it is ensured that no unintentional triggering of a detonator can take place, because ignition impulses are only passed on to previously activated detonator circuits.
- an ignition machine 1 is shown, which is connected to an ignition switch 3 via a two-wire electrical lead 2.
- the ignition switch 3 is connected via a plurality of detonating circuit lines 13a ... 13n to one (or more) electrical detonators 14a ... 14n, to which explosive charges 4a ... 4n are assigned, which are in a predetermined sequence and in selectable time intervals Intervals are ignited.
- the structure of the detonator switch 3 is as follows: the two wires of the lead 2 are electrically connected to the detonator switch 3 via an input connection 6.
- the individual components of the detonator changeover switch 3 are an ignition current detection circuit 7, a logic circuit 8 connected to the ignition current detection circuit 7, a battery 9 and a plurality of switchover relays 10a ... lOn, to which a pole of the lead 2 is connected.
- the safety relays 11a ... lln are connected downstream of the changeover relays 10a 10n. Via the led out output connections 12a
- the detonator switch 3 is connected to the individual detonating circuit lines 13a ... 13n.
- the logic circuit 8 of the detonator switch 3 can be set into its initial position via a reset switch 16.
- the logic circuit 8 ensures that, in the event of an interruption in the ignition circuit lines 13a ... 13n, there is no continuation to the next ignition circuit line. After removing the The blasting process can then be continued properly if there is an error.
- the application of an interrupted ignition circuit line 13a ... 13n can be detected via the ignition current detection circuit 7 and reported to the logic circuit 8.
- the logic circuit 8 can, however, also be set in such a way that it is switched on after each ignition pulse, even if the detonator has not been detonated.
- Both the optocoupler 15 for ignition current detection and the switch contacts of the switching relays 10a ... 10n effectively had a high dielectric strength of 4000 volts, so that no destructive voltage flashovers from the ignition voltage, which was around 700 volts, occurred in the electronics.
