Among these natural disasters, lightning strikes are the most damaging. During the rainy season, lightning strikes are a significant factor affecting the safe and stable operation of the power grid, and lightning-induced power outages can cause enormous losses to people's lives. Therefore, lightning protection for power grids is a very important task. Lightning protection devices mainly consist of lightning conductors, lightning rods, protective gaps, various surge arresters, lightning grounding, reactor coils, capacitor banks, arc suppression coils, automatic reclosing devices, etc. The purpose of installing lightning protection devices on buildings is to protect buildings that have been struck by lightning and prevent or reduce the occurrence of lightning accidents. However, in practice, lightning protection devices still have the following problems:

[0003] Because lightning rods are installed at high altitudes, when the tip of the lightning rod is caught by a radio antenna or a clothesline, the installation position of the lightning rod is easily shaken by the external force, resulting in the rod not being vertical and thus failing to safely conduct the lightning current to the ground. Summary of the Invention

The lightning rod 4 is mounted on the fixed base 1 via the rotating base 2. The intermediate limiting base 3 is located on the fixed base 1 and between two lightning rods 4. The intermediate limiting base 3 contacts and engages with the lightning rod 4. The lightning rod 4 includes a needle body 41, a base 42, and a slot 43. The needle body 41 is mounted on the base 42, and the base 42 is fixedly connected to the intermediate limiting base 3 via the slot 43. The intermediate limiting base 3 includes a receiving groove 31, a driving element 32, a movable groove 33, and a limiting body 34. The 31 and the movable groove 33 are an integrated structure. The movable groove 33 has two limiting bodies 34 inside, which are mechanically connected to the driving swing component 32. The driving swing component 32 is installed inside the receiving groove 31. The movable groove 33 has a slot that matches the limiting body 34. The limiting body 34 passes through this slot and is fixed to the base 42. The driving swing component 32 includes a slider guide rail 321, a slider 322, and a connecting rod 323. The slider 322 moves along the slider guide rail 321. Two connecting rods 323 are provided; one end of each connecting rod 323 is fixedly connected to the slider 322, and the other end is connected to the limiting body 34. The limiting body 34 includes a fixed head 341 and a supporting slide. 342, the support slide 342 is provided with two or more fixing heads 341, the fixing heads 341 are engaged with the slots 43, the support slide 342 is connected to the connecting rod 323, the fixing head 341 is composed of an arc-shaped guide rail 41a, a circular track 41b, a wheel 41c, a swing rod 41d, a mounting groove 41e, and a magnetic block 41f. The arc-shaped guide rail 41a is provided with a mounting groove 41e, the magnetic block 41f moves along the arc-shaped guide rail 41a, and the magnetic block 41f fits inside the mounting groove 41e. One end of the swing rod 41d is fixed to the wheel 41c, the inner side of the mounting groove 41e is provided with an opening, and the other end of the swing rod 41d passes through. The movable opening is connected to the magnetic locking block 41f. The wheel 41c moves along the circular track 41b. The magnetic locking block 41f is driven by the swing rod 41d. The magnetic locking block 41f moves to the notch position of the arc-shaped guide rail 41a and engages with the slot 43 by magnetic adsorption. The mounting slot 41e includes a mounting base 1e1, a movable cavity 1e2, a rubber scraper 1e3, and a spring 1e4. The mounting base 1e1 is provided with two or more rubber scrapers 1e3. The opening of the mounting base 1e1 is funnel-shaped. The movable cavity 1e2 is provided with a spring 1e4. The spring 1e4 is connected to the mounting base 1e1. The magnetic locking block 41f is movably engaged between the rubber scrapers 1e3.

[0026] The working principle of the lightning protection device in the above technical solution is explained below:

[0027] When using this invention, the protective device must first be installed in a suitable position, and then the lightning rod 4 must be aligned so that the lightning rod 4 is perpendicular to the fixed base 1. In order to ensure that the lightning rod 4 is in a vertical state for a long time and is not tilted by external objects, when the lightning rod 4 is aligned, a slot 43 is provided on the opposite side of the base 42 used to connect the rod body 41. During operation, the wheel 41c starts to move along the circular track 41b. At this time, the swing rod 41d swings and drives the magnetic block 41f placed inside the mounting groove 41e to move along the arc guide rail 41a to the guide rail notch position, that is, after contacting the slot 43, the magnetic block 41f is engaged in the slot 43 from both sides. The magnetic layer of the magnetic block 41f and the inside of the slot 43 form a secondary fixation, thereby improving the fixation stability of the lightning rod 4. Under the action of external force, the verticality of the lightning rod 4 can still be guaranteed.

[0028] After the lightning rod 4 is fixed, the magnetic layer in the magnetic card block 41f will attract magnetic metals from the outside. Therefore, when the lightning protection device is under maintenance, the magnetic card block 41f is reset and moved into the mounting groove 41e. It enters through the opening of the mounting base 1e1. The opening is funnel-shaped and large, allowing the magnetic card block 41f to be placed better in the mounting groove 41e. Since the width of the magnetic card block 41f is greater than the gap between the two mounting bases 1e1, the mounting bases 1e1 on both sides are squeezed and opened outward when it enters. During the opening, the rubber scraper 1e3 on the mounting base 1e1 removes impurities from the surface of the magnetic card block 41f to prevent too many impurities from remaining on the surface of the magnetic card block 41f and affecting its magnetic attraction.
