Research on a new electronic detonators based on piezoelectric ceramic transformer

A new electronic detonator based on the piezoelectric ceramic transformer was presented. The electronic detonator posses the communication interface of piezoelectric ceramic transformer, which transfers the energy and information between the detonator and detonation control system under the condition of high voltage on the network. The usage of high voltage fulfill a large scale network of electronic detonator netting, suffice the need of large-scale blasting, and reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference on electronic detonators. It can be also used to improve the reliability of electronic detonators.
