Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a grounding rod, and more specifically, to a grounding rod assembly with an integrated resistance reducing agent that integrates a resistance reducing agent to the grounding rod to maintain a constant resistance regardless of changes in external conditions, thereby facilitating the installation of the grounding rod, and enabling the rapid discharge of high-frequency current and / or low-frequency current flowing into the object (e.g., equipment, building, etc.) where the grounding rod is installed to the ground. Background Technology

[0002] A surge is a type of electrical noise that collectively refers to impulses of high voltage and large current, and refers to a transient waveform of electrical current and voltage that flows through a circuit and has the characteristic of rapidly increasing and then decreasing.

[0003] Therefore, in order to prevent damage caused by surge voltage as described above, conventionally, a grounding hole of a certain size was bored into an object such as equipment or a building, a grounding rod was inserted into the grounding hole, and then a grounding reducing agent was filled into the void within the bored grounding hole to improve the grounding performance.

[0004] In other words, after boring the grounding hole and embedding the grounding rod in the boring hole, a grounding reducing agent consisting of water and powder was mixed into a gel form and injected into the void portion within the grounding hole.

[0005] However, as described above, the process of injecting a grounding reduction agent in the form of a gel after burying the grounding rod has the problem of requiring a lot of preparation procedures and construction time. In particular, when injecting the grounding reduction agent, which is kneaded into a gel form, into the voids within the grounding hole where the grounding rod is buried, the amount injected is inconsistent, resulting in poor grounding construction and deterioration of grounding performance.

[0009] In addition, radial needles are formed radially on the outer surface of the grounding rod.

[0010] In addition, the grounding rod is a rod-shaped structure or a copper pipe structure.

[0011] In addition, when the above grounding rod is composed of a copper pipe structure, a conductive moisture circulation channel is formed.

[0012] In addition, the conductivity reducing agent is a powder-form calsolite, which is an electrolyte generating material incorporated into the grounding rod when the grounding rod is configured as a rod-shaped structure.

[0013] In addition, the conductivity reducing agent is a powder-form calsolite, which is an electrolyte generating material introduced into the hollow part within the copper pipe structure when the grounding rod is composed of a copper pipe structure.

Specific details for implementing the invention

[0019] The detailed description of the invention refers to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It should be understood that various embodiments of the invention are different but need not be mutually exclusive. For example, specific shapes, structures, and characteristics described herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention in relation to one embodiment. It should also be understood that the location or arrangement of individual components within each disclosed embodiment may be changed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the following detailed description is not intended to be limiting, and the scope of the invention is limited only by the appended claims, including all equivalents to those claimed therein, provided appropriately described. Similar reference numerals in the drawings refer to the same or similar functions across various aspects.

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0021] FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a circular grounding rod assembly forming a reduction agent integrated type as an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a rectangular grounding rod assembly forming a reduction agent integrated type as an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] Referring to the attached FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the grounding rod assembly with integrated reducing agent according to an embodiment of the present invention can be installed in electronic equipment or embedded in a lean concrete layer and a concrete slab layer corresponding to the foundation layer of a building, or embedded in the ground (2) consisting of ordinary soil or bedrock, and comprises a grounding rod (10), a radiation needle (20), a conductivity reducing agent (30), a paving base (40), and a grounding reducing agent (50).

[0023] The above grounding rod (10) is made of a conductive material and may be a rod-shaped structure or a copper pipe structure.

[0024] Here, when the grounding rod (10) is configured as a copper pipe structure, a conductive moisture circulation channel (11) can be formed at the top and bottom of the grounding rod (10) as shown in the attached Fig. 3, and a grounding wire (not shown) connected to the copper wire (60) of the grounding terminal can be provided.

[0025] The above-mentioned radiating needle (20) induces a surge current having linearity to radiate in all directions, and is a conical structure formed radially on the outer surface of the above-mentioned grounding rod (10).

[0026] The above conductivity reducing agent (30) is calsolyte, which is an electrolyte generating material formed inside the grounding rod (10).

[0027] That is, the above-mentioned calsolite is a mineral ion generating material that dissolves in water in the form of coarse granules to generate electrolyte ions. It is a strongly alkaline electrolyte generating material that is harmless to the environment, and its main components contain large amounts of soda, potassium oxide, lime, magnesium, and other inorganic salts. It maintains a constant chemical state of the soil and supplies moisture at a constant level, thereby allowing the resistance to be maintained at a constant level regardless of changes in external conditions. In particular, after absorbing moisture from the air or underground, it changes into a strongly alkaline electrolyte solution with a pH of 10 or higher depending on the absorbed moisture, thereby continuously supplying moisture to the soil surrounding the grounding reducing agent (50) and the grounding rod (10).

[0028] Meanwhile, when the grounding rod (10) is configured as a rod-shaped structure, the conductivity reducing agent (30) is incorporated into the grounding rod (10), but when the grounding rod (10) is configured as a copper pipe structure, the conductivity reducing agent (30) can form an integrated structure that is inserted into the hollow part within the copper pipe structure.

[0029] The above packaging base (40) is arranged in a square or circular shape so as to form a filling space (41) on the outer surface of the grounding rod (10) where the radiation needle (20) is formed, and is made of a water-soluble material that dissolves upon contact with water or at room temperature or high temperature.

[0030] That is, the above packaging base (40) is a water-soluble vinyl material produced using PVA (Polyvinyl alcohol) technology based on natural materials without using petroleum, which is completely soluble in water and does not cause toxic residues or environmental pollution.

[0031] The above grounding reducing agent (50) is filled into the above filling space (41) and is a powder form of Lynconite, which is an alkaline grounding reducing agent that reacts with water in contact with the above packaging base (40) and transforms into a gel form.

[0032] Here, the rinconite is an environmentally harmless natural clay (e.g., bentonite of volcanic ash) containing various minerals such as aluminum silicate, and is known to have excellent corrosion resistance and conductivity.

[0033] In this way, the grounding rod assembly with integrated reduction agent according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the attached FIGS. 1 to 3, first bores a grounding rod grounding hole using a boring device in the ground, such as a lean concrete layer and concrete slab layer corresponding to the foundation layer of an electronic device or a building, or general soil or bedrock, and then connects the grounding wire to the bare copper wire (60) of the grounding terminal.

[0034] Afterward, the grounding rod assembly with an integrated reducing agent according to an embodiment of the present invention is embedded in the grounding hole, and then water is introduced.

[0035] At this time, a filling space (41) is formed by a packaging base (40) on the outer surface of the grounding rod (10) forming the grounding rod assembly, and a grounding reducing agent (50) in powder form is introduced into the filling space (41). Consequently, the packaging base (40) dissolves upon contact with the introduced water, and the grounding reducing agent (50) reacts with the water in contact with the packaging base (40) and transforms into a gel form, thereby covering not only the grounding rod (10) but also the radiation needle (20) protruding from the outer surface of the grounding rod (10).

[0036] And, the conductivity reducing agent (30) that is impregnated into the grounding rod (10) or introduced into the hollow part is dissolved by the water introduced to generate electrolyte ions, thereby completing the installation of the reducing agent integrated grounding rod assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] That is, the embodiment of the present invention does not involve inserting the grounding rod (10) into the grounding hole first and then inserting the reduced agent into the grounding hole, but rather inserting the grounding rod assembly, which is integrally formed with the reduced agent (30, 50), into the grounding hole and then inserting water, thereby simplifying the preparation procedure for installing the grounding rod assembly and shortening the construction time for installation.

[0038] Meanwhile, when lightning strikes occur while the grounding rod assembly with the reduction agent integrated is installed as described above, the surge current flowing along the surface of the grounding rod (10) can be reduced by a discharge radiated to the outside of the grounding rod (10) by a plurality of radiation needles (20).

[0039] At this time, the conductivity reducing agent (30) impregnated into the grounding rod (10) or introduced into the hollow part can continuously supply moisture to the grounding reducing agent (50) and the grounding rod (10). The grounding reducing agent (50), which is deformed into a gel form according to the dissolution of the packaging base (40) on the outer surface of the grounding rod (10), lowers the grounding resistance with the soil around the grounding rod (10) regardless of external conditions and maintains the grounding resistance at a constant level, and accordingly, the surge current discharge efficiency through the grounding rod (10) and the radiation needle (20) can be maximized.

[0040] Meanwhile, the attached FIGS. 4 and 5 are other embodiments of the present invention, which are illustrated with the removal of the radiation needle (20) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 attached to the outer surface of the grounding rod (10). This is because the resistance can be maintained at a constant level regardless of changes in external conditions through the conductivity reducing agent (20) and the grounding reducing agent (50) forming an integrated structure with the grounding rod (10). Furthermore, parts identical to those in the attached FIGS. 1 to 3, which are embodiments of the present invention, are indicated by the same reference numerals, and their redundant descriptions have been omitted.

[0041] Although the technical concept of the grounding rod assembly with an integrated reducing agent according to the present invention has been described above together with the accompanying drawings, this is merely an illustrative description of the best embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention.

[0042] Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the specific preferred embodiments described above, and anyone with ordinary knowledge in the art to which the invention pertains can make various modifications without departing from the essence of the invention as claimed in the claims, and such modifications will be within the scope of the claims.
