[0027] See also Figures 1 to 4 A grounding rod installation device according to one embodiment includes a bracket 100, a slide rail 200, a sliding block 400, a driving mechanism 500, and a clamping mechanism 600. The slide rail 200 is mounted on the bracket 100 and extends along a first direction. The sliding block 400 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 200. The clamping mechanism 600 is mounted on the sliding block 400 and is used to clamp and fix the grounding rod 10 so as to set the grounding rod 10 parallel to the first direction. The first direction is set at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees with the horizontal ground, thereby lowering the height of the grounding rod 10 from the ground, making it easier for an operator to use the clamping mechanism 600 to clamp the grounding rod 10 in sections.

[0028] Figure 1 , the direction indicated by the arrow X is the first direction. Specifically, the angle between the first direction and the horizontal ground can be set to 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees or 60 degrees.

[0029] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 500 includes a fixed end 510 and a movable end 520 that can move relative to the fixed end 510. The fixed end 510 is mounted on the top of the slide rail 200, and the movable end 520 is connected to the sliding block 400. The driving mechanism 500 can drive the movable end 520 to move in a first direction, so that the sliding block 400 and the clamping mechanism 600 drive the ground rod 10 to move in the first direction and penetrate into the soil.

[0030] It is understood that, during use, the driving mechanism 500 drives the sliding block 400 to move toward the soil, thereby driving the clamping mechanism 600 to clamp the grounding rod 10 and move it together toward the soil, thereby installing the grounding rod 10 in the soil. Since the grounding rod 10 is arranged parallel to the first direction, and the first direction is arranged at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees with the horizontal ground, a portion of the grounding rod 10 can be installed in the soil first, and then the clamping mechanism 600 can be opened to install the next section of the grounding rod 10 until the grounding rod 10 is installed. The segmented installation of the grounding rod 10 can avoid the load-bearing arm at the front end of the grounding rod 10 from being too large, making it less likely to bend the grounding rod 10, facilitating manual operation, and achieving a better installation effect and low installation cost.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The slide rail 200 includes a first side 210 and a second side 220 that are oppositely arranged. The first side 210 faces away from the ground, and the second side 220 faces the ground. The slide rail 200 is provided with a slide groove 260 connecting the first side 210 and the second side 220. The sliding block 400 is slidably disposed in the slide groove 260. The movable end 520 of the driving mechanism 500 is mounted on the sliding block 400 and is located on the first side 210. The clamping mechanism 600 is mounted on the sliding block 400 and is located on the second side 220. By mounting the clamping mechanism 600 on the second side 220, the clamping mechanism 600 clamps the grounding rod 10 and is close to the ground, thereby facilitating the clamping mechanism 600 to clamp the grounding rod 10 in sections.

[0032] Specifically, the slide rail 200 also includes a proximal end 230 close to the ground and a distal end 240 away from the ground. The distal end 240 and the proximal end 230 are spaced apart along the first direction. The grounding rod installation device also includes a force block 300. The force block 300 is installed at the proximal end 230 and is against the ground. Through the supporting effect of the force block 300, the stability and reliability of the working process of the grounding rod installation device are maintained.

[0033] Furthermore, a stop surface 310 is provided in the force-bearing block 300 , which abuts against the ground and is used to prevent the force-bearing block 300 from moving along the first direction. The force-bearing block 300 abuts against the ground through the stop surface 310 .

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The driving mechanism 500 is a hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder is installed on the top of the slide rail 200, and the telescopic rod head of the hydraulic cylinder is installed on the sliding block 400. After the hydraulic cylinder is started, the telescopic rod head can drive the sliding block 400 to slide along the slide rail 200 to install the ground rod 10 in the ground.

[0035] Specifically, the contact length between the ground rod 10 and the soil is at least 2.5 meters. The length of the slide rail 200 can be set between 1 and 2 meters. The drive mechanism 500 drives the clamping mechanism 600 to install the ground rod 10 in sections. Furthermore, the length of the slide rail 200 can be set to 1 meter, 1.2 meters, 1.4 meters, 1.5 meters, 1.6 meters, 1.8 meters, or 2 meters.

[0036] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The grounding rod installation device also includes a mounting block 700 and a connecting piece 810. A mounting hole is provided at the top of the slide rail 200, and a mounting groove 710 adapted to the mounting hole is provided in the mounting block 700. The connecting piece 810 passes through the mounting hole and is detachably connected to the groove wall of the mounting groove 710 to install the mounting block 700 on the top of the slide rail 200. The cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder is installed on the mounting block 700.

[0037] It can be understood that the mounting block 700 is detachably connected to the top of the slide rail 200 through the connecting piece 810, and the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder is in contact with the mounting block 700, so that the size of the mounting block 700 can be adjusted to adapt to driving mechanisms 500 of different sizes and models.

[0038] In another embodiment, see Figure 4 The sliding block 400 is provided with a connecting ear 410 and an abutting surface 420. The movable end 520 of the driving mechanism 500 is movably connected to the connecting ear 410 and abuts against the abutting surface 420. The provision of the connecting ear 410 can stabilize the connection between the driving mechanism 500 and the sliding block, and the abutment between the movable end 520 and the abutting surface 420 can enable the driving mechanism 500 to drive the sliding block to move along the extension direction of the slide rail 200. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving mechanism 500 can be detachably connected to the sliding block 400 by screws.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 A clamping hole 610 is provided in the clamping mechanism 600, a first threaded structure is provided on the outer wall of the grounding rod 10, and a second threaded structure is provided on the wall of the clamping hole 610. The first threaded structure is adapted to the second threaded structure. A driving motor is further provided in the clamping mechanism 600, and the driving motor is transmission-connected to the first threaded structure. The driving motor can drive the first threaded structure to approach or move away from the second threaded structure, so that the first threaded structure clamps or releases the second threaded structure, thereby achieving segmented clamping of the grounding rod 10.

[0040] It is understandable that when the first thread structure is close to and fits the second thread structure, the first thread structure can be clamped with the second thread structure to clamp and fix the ground rod 10 on the clamping mechanism 600 .

[0041] Specifically, a protrusion structure is further provided in the clamping mechanism 600, and a plurality of connecting holes are provided in the protrusion structure. A recessed structure adapted to the protrusion structure is provided in the sliding block 400, and a plurality of connecting grooves adapted to the connecting holes are provided on the recessed structure. The grounding rod installation device also includes a fixing structure 830, which is passed through each connecting hole and each connecting groove to detachably connect the clamping mechanism 600 and the sliding block 400.

[0042] Furthermore, the fixing structure 830 includes a first fixing member 831 and multiple second fixing members 832, each second fixing member 832 is correspondingly inserted into each connecting hole and each connecting groove, each second fixing member 832 is provided with a fixing hole, and the first fixing member 831 is inserted into each fixing hole and is detachably connected to the hole wall of each fixing hole.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The bracket 100 includes a first frame 110 and a second frame 120. The first frame 110 is installed on the proximal end 230 side of the slide rail 200, and the second frame 120 is installed on the distal end 240 side of the slide rail 200. The height of the second frame 120 relative to the ground is greater than the height of the first frame 110 relative to the ground. Through the arrangement of the first frame 110 and the second frame 120, an angle can be formed between the slide rail 200 and the ground, so as to form an installation angle between the grounding rod 10 and the ground, thereby lowering the height of the grounding rod 10 to the ground, so that the operator can install the grounding rod 10 on the ground without climbing to a high altitude, thereby ensuring the safety of the operator and facilitating operation.

[0044] Specifically, the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 are both telescopic rods to adjust the installation angle of the grounding rod 10. By setting the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 as telescopic rods, the height of the first frame 110 and the second frame 120 can be easily adjusted to adapt to the grounding rod 10 with different installation requirements.

[0045] Furthermore, a plurality of hanging ears 250 are provided in the slide rail 200, and connection holes adapted to the hanging ears 250 are provided on the first frame 110 and the second frame 120. The hanging ears 250 and the connection holes are detachably connected by bolts 820 for easy installation.
