PATENTEU FEB 9197;
SHEET 2 [1F 2 FLAME-AND/OR EXPLOSION-PROOF CASINGS This invention relates to flameand explosion-proof casings for electrical equipment. i
When electrical equipment is used in surroundings in which gases or vapors capable of forming explosive mixtures with air are present, it is essential that the equipment should be housed in a casing which will not permit propagation of flame, resulting from ignition of a gas mixture within the casing, to the surrounding atmosphere, even if such ignition is explosive thus tending to disrupt the casing. In the United Kingdom, the requirements for such casings are laid downin British Standard Specification No. 229.
In order to meet the requirements of this specification, casings of the type concerned have had to be made up of heavy guage case or fabricated components assembled round the equipment to be protected and secured together by nuts and bolts passing through heavy flanges. This form of construction has been necessary in order that the joints at the flanges may be made with, and may maintain under explosive conditions, sufficient accuracy for the airgap between the members not to exceed the maximum which will prevent flame propagation through the gap. Construction in lighter guage metal has not been practicable because even though the casing might withstand the required pressures without actual disruption, the joints at the flanges would almost certainly spring open to an unacceptable extent, quite apart from the difficulty of obtaining sufficiently accurate joints in the first place.
The object of the present invention is to provide a much cheaper and more easily manufactured casing which is capable of being constructed so as to fulfill the requirements of BS8229.
There is an increasing tendency for electrical equipment to be manufactured as modules, which are removed from apparatus as a unit and replaced when maintenance is required, the module removed being returned to the manufacturer or to specialized service depot for servicing orfrepairfSince there is no necessity for user as access to the interior of such modules, it becomes possible to eliminate releasable joints in the casing, and we have found that it is possible to comply with the requirements of BS8229 whilst using housings of relatively light guage material provided that releasable joints are eliminated. I
According to the invention a flameand explosion-proof casing enclosing electrical equipment comprises a rigid base plate on which the equipment is mounted'and a monocoque housing of drawn sheet metal metallurgically bonded to the base plate to form a sealed envelop around the equipment capable of sustaining the stresses generated by the application of explosive pressures within the envelope without disruption.
The invention is described further with reference to the accompanying drawings, which show a preferred embodiment of electrical equipment encased according to the invention.
FIG. 1 showing the casing in diametrical cross section; and
FIG. 2 being a section on the line ll-ll in FIG. 1.
It should be understood that the actual nature of the equipment encased is immaterial to the invention, although in the example shown an electric motor 2 is" controlled by a microswitch 4 and drives an output shaft 6 through gearing 8. The entire assembly is mounted on a rigid baseplate 10 by means of bolts 12. The baseplate itself is provided with means (not shown) by which it can be detachably mounted within the apparatus of which the encased equipment forms part: the encased equipment forming a module which isexchanged when service or repair is required.
The casing is completed by a housing 14 of tophat configuration comprising a cylindrical body closed at one end and provided at the other end with an outwardly extending annular figure 16. The housing is pressed from sheet metal, the selection of which is determined by the drawability required, the form of metallurgical bonding (see below) utilized to unite the housing to the base plate, and the strength required, as well as cost considerations; mild steel is probably the most generally satisfactory material and for a housing some 4 to 6 inches in diameter l6l8 guage material is suitable. A cylindrical or domed housing is preferable because of its resistance to bu rsting stresses.
The housing 14 encloses the equipment mounted on the baseplate l0 and is united to the latter around the flange If) by metallurgical bonding. By this term we mean any process for uniting metallic parts which creates a continuous metallic bond between the parts, such as welding, brazing or soldering. When the housing and the baseplate arc of steel, we prefer to use seam or stitch welding, the automated application of this process being facilitated by the annular shape ofthe flange 16. Similarly, when the equipment enclosed is to be serviced, the annular configuration of the flange [6 allows it to be turned off the baseplate using a suitable lathe. whereupon the remainder of the housing 14 may be removed and discarded, a new housing being bonded to the baseplate after servicing of the equipment. Since the housing 14 (together with the at tached parts described below) is of cheap construction. this wastage is quite acceptable.
A pressing forming a second housing 18 is metallurgically bonded over the closed end 20 of the housing 14 so as to form a cable entry chamber 22 and also to reinforce the housing 14. This cable entry chamber is at present required by the provisions of BS5229 but under certain circumstances it is anticipated that it could be dispensed with, particularly in view of the improved form of cable entry permitted by the construction of the invention. Thus the housing 18 is fomicd with a funnel-shaped orifice 24, the walls of which are brazed or otherwise mctallurgically bonded directly to the metallic sheathing or conduit of a cable 26 entering the housing through this orifice. an arrangement permitted by the sheet metal construction of the housing. It is preferred that the cable be of copper-sheathed mineral-insulated type.
The cable is connected within the housing to the terminals of the plug unit 28 of a plug and socket connector, this unit being set in the end 20 of the housing 14. The socket unit 30 of the conductor is mounted on the equipment enclosed by the housing so that when the preassembled combination of the housing 14 and 18 and the plug unit 28 is placed over the equipment prior to bonding the flange 16 to the baseplate 10, the plug unit 28 will engage the socket unit 30. The position of the plug and socket units could of course be reversed if convenient.
With a unit according to the invention, one problem that arises is that of testing, since the sealed construction provides no convenient means for applying an elevated pressure to the interior of the housing or housings. In order to overcome this problem. a shaft 32 which is journaled in the base plate by a bush 34, and which is angularly movable to actuate the switch 4 by means of a cam 36, is formed with flats 38 which provide passage for the pressurized gas used for testing purposes, the flats being slight enough and the bush long enough not to provide passages of sufficient shortness or cross section to permit flame propagation therealong. Variations of this arrangement are possible, in which either the shaft or the journal is formed with flats or grooves providing passages a long and narrow enough to prevent flame propagation. Similarly, any member passing through a bush in the baseplate even if not rotatable could be modified in this manner to provide the necessary passages.
in order that the test pressure may be communicated to the cable entry chamber 22, a very small aperture 40 is formed in the end 20 of the housing 14, this aperture again being small enough to prevent flame propagation therethrough: it should be noted that for purposes of illustration, this aperture has been shown many times its actual size.
