Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize an explosion-free structure simple in constitution and low in cost by a method wherein two-part liquid setting silicone rubber is filled into gaps inside a case. CONSTITUTION:Liquid silicon rubbers 15, 16, 17, and 18 are filled into gaps and spaces inside a case 1 to take countermeasures against explosion and solidified. Silicone rubbers 15, 16, 17, and 18 used as filler are two-part liquid setting type rubber which hardly changes in volume at solidification and is low enough in viscosity so as to penetrate into even narrow gaps. Silicone rubber is slowly filled into the gaps so as to prevent air from being trapped in the case 1 or to enable the trapped air in the case 1 to be discharged and slowly solidified. When silicone rubber is solidified, the gaps inside the case 1 is fully filled with silicone rubber to shut out the spark inducing part and heat releasing part of an electric circuit from an outside atmosphere, so that it hardly catches on fire due to an electric circuit even if outside gas is an atmosphere of flammable gas.

[Prior Art] In recent years, various small electronic devices have become increasingly sophisticated, and with the adoption of microcomputers, the density of electric circuits has been increased and the voltage of the circuits has been increased. In such electronic devices, sparks and heat generated in the electric circuit may ignite flammable scum.

In particular, small electronic devices such as portable radios are used in various environmental conditions and are used in flammable gas atmospheres or in places where there is a possibility of flammable gas atmospheres. The equipment is required to have an explosion-proof construction so that the sparks and heat generated by the equipment's circuits will not ignite surrounding flammable gases.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, the explosion-proof tank system with a completely airtight case structure,
This method is generally adopted for large, high-end equipment, and is not suitable for portable radios and other devices that require a smaller size, lighter weight, and lower cost. It is also possible to fill the space inside the case with epoxy resin, but synthetic resins such as epoxy resin have the property of shrinking when cured, so when used in precision electronic equipment, it is necessary to cut the wiring. Therefore, it cannot be used considering the reliability of the product.

Preferably, the filling method is to use a nozzle or the like and allow gravity to naturally fall without applying pressure during injection. If the injection is performed by gravity, the rate at which the injected liquid silicone rubber permeates and the injection rate are matched, and a completely dense filling can be achieved.

When the silicone rubber is solidified, the void inside the case 1 is completely filled with the silicone rubber, and the outside air is cut off from the spark generation point and the heat generating part of the electric circuit, and the outside air becomes a flammable gas atmosphere. However, the electrical circuit will not cause a fire.

As mentioned above, since the two-component heating type silicone rubber does not change in volume, it does not generate local distortion or residual stress due to the distortion in the solidified state, so it can be used for fine wiring patterns, lead wires, etc. Furthermore, since silicone rubber is highly elastic in its solidified state, even if distortion occurs, it will be absorbed by the deformation of the silicone rubber itself, and wiring patterns, lead wires, etc. will not be cut. .
