What are the characteristics of explosion-proof battery electric locomotives?

Rail locomotive transportation with electric locomotive as the power source is a common way of mine transportation. The entire transportation system is composed of rails, mine cars, electric locomotives and other auxiliary equipment. There are many potential hazards in the working environment of the mine, and explosion is one of them. In order to avoid and deal with these potential hazards, mines and mining equipment companies have made many contributions, and explosion-proof electric locomotives are special equipment for explosions.
First of all, the most intuitive difference between explosion-proof electric locomotives and ordinary electric locomotives is its thickness, which is generally protected by heavy steel plates with a thickness of 2-4 cm, especially in the part of the control, lighting and other parts of the contrast is more obvious. The impact resistance of the car body is also relatively enhanced.
The second is the gas cut-off device. Although it is still the customer's choice whether to equip or not, it is a necessary safety equipment for explosion-proof electric locomotives. It will detect the gas concentration in the air in real time, and will generate an alarm when the gas concentration in the air reaches a certain value, and even automatically cut off the power when it is too high to avoid danger.
Due to the importance of safety in mining equipment, electric locomotives basically adopt many safety designs. The use of explosion-proof parts and safety equipment has also become the biggest difference between explosion-proof electric locomotives and ordinary electric locomotives.
