ELECTRONIC DELAY DETONATOR

摘要

Patent of invention of an electronic delay detonator refers to a detonator meant to initiate explosive charges after an electronically predetermined delay time, transforming thermal energy generated by a heat source (2) into electrical energy through a miniaturized thermoelectronical battery (3), packed inside the detonator shell, placing the referred heating source over the heating face (3-A) of the battery (3) which has its opposing face unheated (3-B), being coupled in the detonator a nonelectrical initiation signal conductor medium (1) for the cap, having in the detonator shell the corresponding stages of a capacitor (4) for storage of electrical energy, an electronic timing circuit (5) which provokes the energization of the electric squib, following the detonation of a primary explosive (7) and a consequent detonation of the secondary explosive (8).
