    摘要: A device and a method thereof for determining detonator information by using a wireless signal are proposed. The device includes an electromagnetic wave reception unit configured to receive an electromagnetic wave transmitted from a detonator in a blast hole, a coordinate derivation unit configured to detect the received electromagnetic wave and derive the electromagnetic wave as coordinates, a blast hole location determination unit configured to determine a location of the blast hole on the basis of a flickering pattern of the electromagnetic wave derived as the coordinates, and a detonator ID acquisition unit configured to acquire an ID of the detonator in the corresponding blast hole on the basis of the determined location of the blast hole.

    摘要: Ethernet systems, methods and blasting machines are presented for remote turn on of the blasting machine and reliable fire and arm commands issuance. Systems, methods, blasting machines and wireless bridge units are presented for wireless blasting for safe firing of detonators under control of a remote wireless master controller in which the blasting machine is connected by cabling to the wireless bridge unit and power to a firing circuit of the blasting machine is remotely controlled via the bridge unit. The bridge unit or Ethernet primary controller selectively provides first and second firing messages to the blasting machine contingent upon acknowledgment of safe receipt of the first firing message by the blasting machine, and the blasting machine fires the connected detonators only if the first and second firing messages are correctly received from the bridge unit.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for searching for an unregistered detonator in a detonator list and confirming an ID are disclosed. The apparatus is being provided in control equipment and includes a lower first digit ID confirmation request unit that requests a detonator to confirm an ID for a preset lower first digit, a lower first digit ID confirmation unit that receives response data to the ID confirmation request for the preset lower first digit from the detonator, and confirms the ID for the lower first digit of the detonator through the received response data, a full ID confirmation request unit that requests the detonator for which the ID for the lower first digit is confirmed to confirm a full ID, and a full ID confirmation unit that receives response data to the full ID confirmation request from the detonator and searches for and confirms the full ID of the detonator.

    摘要: The present invention is directed toward an addressable ignition stage which produces an output sufficient to detonate a secondary explosive, generally. The present invention comprises addressability and ignition functions that may be used together or separately to incorporate a high-power resistor with a thermally conductive substrate allowing for operation at high temperatures for ignition. The ignition stage is amendable to high volume production, exhibits a high degree of reliability, robustness and operational dependability for use alone or configurable into existing technology.

    摘要: The present disclosure describes an electronic ignition circuit (“EIC”) for controlling at least one detonator. The EIC may include a protection circuit, an input circuit coupled to the protection circuit, a logic circuit electrically coupled to the input circuit, and an ignition circuit electrically coupled to the logic circuit. The protection circuit may include at least one of a fuse, a circuit breaker and an automatic switch. The logic circuit may include an answer back circuit, and a switching circuit adapted to switch to the next detonator or igniter. The ignition circuit may include a capacitor charging circuit, a capacitor discharge circuit to discharge a firing capacitor through a fuse head, and a shot detection circuit adapted to measure a voltage across the firing capacitor before discharging through the fuse head and to measure a voltage after discharging through the fuse head.
