Abstract: Currently, there is a lack of methods for detecting the mechanism of gas explosion propagation within flameproof enclosures and the dynamic behavior of flameproof enclosures under explosion impact. Therefore, this paper studies a method for detecting the vibration characteristics of coal mine explosion-proof equipment under internal gas explosions using laser Doppler. First, a model of gas explosion propagation and explosion transmission response in flameproof enclosures is established to reveal the mechanism of gas explosion transmission inside coal mine flameproof enclosures. Second, a laser Doppler measurement method for coal mine flameproof enclosures is proposed, along with a step-by-step progressive vibration characteristic analysis method. This begins with a single-frequency dimension analysis using the Fourier transform (FFT), extends to time–frequency joint analysis using the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) to incorporate a time scale, and then advances to a three-dimensional linkage of scale, time, and frequency using the wavelet transform (DWT) to solve the limitation of the fixed window length of the STFT, thereby achieving a dynamic characterization of the detonation response characteristics. Finally, a non-symmetric Gaussian impact load inversion model is constructed to validate the overall scheme. The experimental results show that the FFT analysis identified a 2000 Hz main frequency, along with the global frequency components of the flameproof enclosure vibration signal, the STFT analysis revealed the dynamic evolution of the 2000 Hz main frequency and global frequency over time, and the wavelet transform achieved higher accuracy positioning of the frequency amplitude in the time domain, with better time resolution. Finally, the experimental platform showed an error of less than 5% compared with the actual measured impact load, and the error between the inverted impact load and the actual load was less than 15%. The experimental platform is feasible, and the inversion model has good accuracy. The laser Doppler measurement method has significant advantages over traditional coal mine flameproof equipment measurement and analysis methods and can provide further failure analysis and prevention, design optimization, and safety performance evaluation of flameproof enclosures in the future.
