[0023] A transformer is a static electrical device, and power transformers are one of the main pieces of equipment in power plants and substations. Transformers serve multiple functions: they not only raise voltage to deliver electrical energy to the user area, but also lower voltage to various operating levels to meet electricity needs. Because transformers are often installed in outdoor environments, they require lightning protection, such as the installation of lightning rods. However, since transformers are typically installed between two utility poles, installing lightning rods in this environment is very inconvenient, and the varying distances between the poles further complicate the installation process.
[0024] Based on this, this application provides a transformer lightning protection device for protecting transformers from lightning, thereby improving the ease of installation and applicability of the lightning protection device.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0028] Furthermore, the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., drawn in the accompanying drawings of this application are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which this application can be implemented. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modification to the structure, change in the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that this application can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application.
[0029] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a transformer lightning protection device, including: a base 1, a fixing ring 2, a central collecting rod 3, a reactor 4, a grounding body 5, an exciter 6, and a reflector 7. The central collecting rod 3 is fixed to the base 1 by a vertical rod 31. The grounding body 5 is connected to the earth and is used to connect the central collecting rod 3 and the reflector 7 to the earth. The central collecting rod 3 and the reflector 7 are in an equipotential state. The reactor 4 is used to generate a potential difference with the exciter 6 and discharge at the tip of the central collecting rod 3. The reactor 4, the exciter 6, and the reflector 7 are fixed to the base 1. Fixing rings 2 are provided on both sides of the base 1. The fixing rings 2 are sleeved on the utility pole and fix the base 1. A slide rail 10 is provided on the base 1. The fixing rings 2 are slidably connected to the slide rail 10 through a sliding component 20, so that the fixing rings 2 located at both ends of the base 1 can move closer to each other or further away from each other on the slide rail 10.
[0031] In practical applications, the exciter 6 can absorb and store energy from nature, while the reflector 7 and the central collecting rod 3 have a good electrical connection with the ground and are in an equipotential state. Therefore, under normal circumstances, there is an electric field strength between the exciter 6 and the reflector 7. Whenever a lightning flash occurs, the electric field strength increases rapidly. The potential difference between the exciter 6 and the reflector 7 is roughly equivalent to the potential difference between the thundercloud and the ground. The rapid increase in voltage drop between them will cause tip arcing at the tip of the central collecting rod 3 and ionize the air around the tip, forming a tip discharge phenomenon.
[0032] When installing a transformer lightning protection device, the fixing ring 2 is fitted onto the utility pole, and the position of the two fixing rings 2 on the slide rail 10 is adjusted by the sliding component 20 so that the two fixing rings 2 can be adapted to the distance between the two fixing rings and the utility pole, thereby achieving the effect of fixing.
[0033] Optionally, the fixing ring 2 includes a left half ring 21 and a right half ring 22. The first end 211 of the left half ring 21 is provided with a bolt seat 213. The first end 211 is bolted to one end of the right half ring 22 through the bolt seat 213. The second end 212 of the left half ring 21 is bolted to the other end of the right half ring 22.
[0034] The fixing ring 2 can be composed of a left half ring 21 and a right half ring 22. The two half rings can be used to easily put the fixing ring on poles such as utility poles. A bolt seat 213 is provided on the first end 211 of the left half ring 21, and the bolt seat 213 is used to fix one end of the right half ring 22. After the fixing ring 2 is put on the utility pole, the bolt is tightened to complete the fixing.
[0035] Optionally, the second end 212 is provided with a screw hole, and the end of the right half ring 22 connected to the second end 212 is provided with multiple screw holes. The bolt on the second end 212 passes through the screw hole on the second end 212 and connects to any one of the multiple screw holes on the right half ring 22.
[0036] In practical applications, the diameter of the utility pole may vary. In order to further improve the applicability of the transformer lightning protection device, multiple screw holes are provided at the end of the right half ring 22 that is connected to the second end 212. In practice, the appropriate screw holes can be selected for fixing according to the different diameters of the utility pole. The fixing ring 2 is generally thin and ring-shaped, which can produce a certain elastic deformation and thus change the size of the ring.
[0037] Optionally, the base 1 is provided with two channel steels 11, and the slide rail 10 is provided on the bottom side of the channel steels 11. The slide rail 10 is provided with an oblong hole 100, and the fixing ring 2 is slidably connected to the channel steels 11 through the oblong hole 100.
[0038] Optionally, the sliding assembly 20 includes a sliding post 201 and a fixing nut 202. The sliding post 201 is provided with threads, passes through the waist-shaped hole 100 on the slide rail 10, and is fixed to the slide rail 10 by the fixing nut 202.
[0039] The base can be composed of two channel steels 11, with a slide rail 10 at the bottom of each channel steel 11. The slide rail has an oblong hole 100, through which a fixing ring is connected to the slide rail 10. The sliding assembly 20 includes a sliding column 201 and a fixing nut 202. The sliding column 201 passes through the oblong hole 100 and is fixed by the fixing nut 202. When the position of the fixing ring 2 needs to be adjusted, the fixing nut 202 is loosened to adjust the position of the fixing ring 2. After the position is determined, the fixing nut 202 is tightened. This allows for both sliding and fixing of the fixing ring 2, facilitating installation and adjustment.
[0040] Optionally, a base plate 12 is provided above the base 1, and the base plate 12 is fixed to the base 1 by bolts, and the upright 31 is installed on the base plate 12.
[0041] Optionally, the base plate 12 is provided with multiple expansion screw holes 121.
[0042] The pole 31 is fixed to the base 1 via the base plate 12. The base plate 12 is provided with multiple expansion screw holes 121. The base can be used alone to fix other equipment, or it can be used to install other types of lightning protection equipment.
[0043] Optionally, the fixing ring 2 has a metal ring 23 as the main body inside and a soft rubber sleeve 24 wrapped around it. The rubber sleeve 24 is used to contact the utility pole.
[0044] The fixing ring 2 has a metal ring as its main body inside, which can improve the structural strength of the fixing ring 2. The outer rubber sleeve 24 can increase the friction between the fixing ring 2 and the utility pole, increase the stability of the installation, and can effectively protect the utility pole.
[0045] Optionally, a fixing plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the grounding body. The fixing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the base plate 12 by bolts. The fixing plate 13 is used to fix the upright 31.
[0046] Optionally, the grounding electrode 5 is connected to the earth via a steel wire mesh.
