| description | Background. The article presents the results of development of the electric connector providing protection
of the electric circuits against the static electricity and the induced currents. Application of mining charges with
embedded electric blasting caps and electric spark igniters implies precautions against the static electricity and the induced currents such as a worker grounding, release of the worker from the static electricity by touching the earthed
conducting element before starting the work, which are not consistently performed because of notorious human factor.
Probable mishandling, especially at a moment of joining the connector, may initiate the pyrotechnic element, resulting
in the tragic consequences. To eliminate the human factor in such application the engineering problem is solved on shunting
the electric circuit to body in detached state and de-shunting it when joining. Available connectors of similar function
are very large and they are restricted in application because of bounded number of electrical circuits with earthed contacts
they form in detached state. Expected engineering result of developed electric conductor is to make safe the use of the
electric connectors in small-scale engineering systems of tight integration, critical to both the static electricity and the induced
currents. Materials and methods. Developed electric connector guaranties the reliable auto-shunting of all electrical
circuits coming through the electric connector to body in unconnected state barring from occurrence of static electricity
and currents induced by external magnetic fields. The circuits stay shunted when unconnected to keep safety.
At joining the connector the electrical circuit shunting is tripped automatically, assuring the reliable connection. Automatic
on/off shunting eliminates possible human mistakes when joining/detaching the connector for safety of the whole item.
The plug of developed connector mates with commercially available sockets that widen its application area. Results
and conclusions. The connector assures reliable functioning of the in small-scale engineering systems of tight integration,
critical to both the static electricity and the induced currents, which may include, for example, pyrotechnic initiation elements
– electrical blasting caps and electric spark igniters. Patent for invention is taken out for the connector. |
