Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of zinc oxide lightning arresters, in particular to a zinc oxide resistor powder lightning arrester with strong self-maintenance adaptability. Background Art
[0002] Zinc oxide arresters are the most commonly used type of arrester in modern power systems. Their core component is a resistor made of zinc oxide powder. Multiple resistors are installed in the arrester's housing, leveraging their nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics. Under normal voltage, they exhibit high resistance (allowing only microampere-level leakage current). In the event of an overvoltage (such as a lightning strike), they instantly become low resistance, discharging significant current and limiting voltage amplitude, protecting equipment insulation. In the prior art, zinc oxide lightning arresters are installed on power equipment such as substations, transmission lines, generators, and transformer protection. Most of the above equipment is located in the external environment, so the zinc oxide lightning arrester is also in the external environment. Over time, a large amount of dust will accumulate on the surface of the zinc oxide lightning arrester. The accumulation of dust will cover the surface of the lightning arrester, affecting its heat dissipation effect and causing the internal temperature of the lightning arrester to rise. Long-term high-temperature operation will accelerate the aging of the lightning arrester and reduce its protection performance. Therefore, manual maintenance is required. Zinc oxide lightning arresters are often located at high places. Due to the limited height of maintenance personnel, maintenance personnel must also contact height adjustment equipment to transport maintenance personnel to the high place, thereby increasing the cumbersomeness and cost of preparatory work before maintaining zinc oxide lightning arresters at high places. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0012] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and those skilled in the art may conceive of other obvious variations.
[0013] like Figure 1-4 The zinc oxide resistor powder lightning arrester shown has strong self-maintenance adaptability, including multiple resistors 2, two rubber sealing blocks 4, two wiring bolts 6, two electrodes 7, a jacket 8 and multiple skirts 13. The multiple skirts 13 are all sleeved on the surface of the jacket 8, and the multiple resistors 2 are installed inside the jacket 8. The ends of the multiple resistors 2 are connected in sequence. The resistors 2 at the initial end and the end are connected to the electrodes 7. One end of the two electrodes 7 is installed with a wiring bolt 6. One end of the two wiring bolts 6 passes through the surface of the jacket 8 and extends to its outside. Rubber sealing blocks 4 are installed inside the jacket 8 and between the two electrodes 7. The rubber sealing blocks 4 are used to seal the storage space of the multiple resistors 2 located between the two electrodes 7 to prevent external dust from adhering to the surface of the resistor 2, thereby protecting the resistor 2. The two electrodes 7 provide for the conduction of current. The two wiring bolts 6 are respectively connected to the wires and electrical equipment. The skirt 13 can reduce moisture residue and reduce the risk of freezing and cracking of the lightning arrester.
[0014] The bottom movable sleeve of the outer sleeve 8 is provided with two mounting rings 16, and the two mounting rings 16 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. A plurality of obliquely arranged wind blades 17 are connected between the two mounting rings 16, and a plurality of wind blades 17 are arranged at equal angles at the outer side edges of the mounting rings 16. A plurality of connecting rods 11 are installed on the top of the mounting ring 16 above the wind blades 17. The top ends of the plurality of connecting rods 11 are movably connected to the top end of the outer sleeve 8. The connecting rods 11 are located on one side of the skirt 13. The surface of the connecting rods 11 is elastically connected to a soft rubber scraper 5. The surfaces of the soft rubber scraper 5 are in contact with the top of the skirt 13 and the outside of the outer sleeve 8 respectively. The wind in the natural environment will produce a deflection force on the wind blades 17. After being subjected to the force, the wind blades 17 apply a torque force to the two mounting rings 16. The two mounting rings 16 drive multiple soft rubber scrapers 5 to rotate through multiple connecting rods 11. The soft rubber scrapers 5 themselves have good elasticity and wear resistance. The soft rubber scrapers 5 can fit tightly with the outer arc surface of the jacket 8 and the skirt 13 of the zinc oxide lightning arrester, so that the soft rubber scrapers clean the dust attached to the outer surface of the zinc oxide lightning arrester. Therefore, the dust on the outside of the zinc oxide lightning arrester is cleaned by the wind generated in the natural environment without manual cleaning, and the self-maintenance operation of the zinc oxide lightning arrester is completed.
[0015] The bottom and top ends of the outer sleeve 8 are respectively movably provided with a first movable ring 10 and two second movable rings 18. Fixed rings 9 are provided above and below the first movable ring 10 and the two second movable rings 18. The six fixed rings 9 are all installed on the outside of the outer sleeve 8. The top ends of multiple connecting rods 11 are connected to the side of the first movable ring 10. The two mounting rings 16 are respectively fixed on the outer circular surfaces of the two second movable rings 18. The six fixed rings 9 respectively limit the first movable ring 10 and the two second movable rings 18 in the vertical direction, thereby improving the stability of the two mounting rings 16 and the multiple connecting rods 11 during rotation.
[0016] The first movable ring 10 and the two second movable rings 18 are provided with first ball grooves on the top and bottom, and the surfaces of the six fixed rings 9 are provided with second ball grooves corresponding to the positions of the first ball grooves. A plurality of balls 3 are provided between the second ball grooves and the first ball grooves. The arrangement of the plurality of balls 3 reduces the friction of the first movable ring 10 and the two second movable rings 18 when sliding on the surfaces of the six fixed rings 9, and improves the stability of the wind blades 17 after being driven by wind to drive the first movable ring 10 and the two second movable rings 18 to rotate.
[0017] One side of the connecting rod 11 is provided with a connecting block 12 corresponding to the position of the outer sleeve 8. A square hole is passed through the surface of the connecting block 12, and a square rod 15 is inserted into the square hole. Fixed blocks 14 are installed at both ends of the square rod 15. One end of the two fixed blocks 14 is installed on the surface of the connecting rod 11. A compression spring 1 is provided on the surface of the square rod 15. The compression spring 1 is connected to the surface of the fixed block 14 and the connecting block 12 respectively. One end of the soft rubber scraper 5 is connected to the connecting block 12. When the bottom of the soft rubber scraper 5 contacts the top of the skirt 13, the compression spring 1 is in a compressed state. Therefore, the compression spring 1 itself has elastic potential energy to push the soft rubber scraper 5 to press on the top of the skirt 13, which has a pre-tightening effect on the soft rubber scraper 5, thereby improving the close fit between the soft rubber scraper 5 and the skirt 13, and improving the efficiency of the soft rubber scraper 5 in cleaning dust; the cooperation between the square rod 15 and the square hole prevents the connecting block 12 from moving in a circular arc on the square rod 15, thereby improving the stability of the soft rubber scraper 5 in fitting with the skirt 13 and the outer sleeve 8 during rotation.
[0018] In this solution, the outer jacket 8 and the skirt 13 are supported by silicone rubber, which can improve the insulation performance, pollution resistance, explosion-proof performance, wear resistance of the zinc oxide lightning arrester, and enhance its sealing reliability and aging resistance, so that the high zinc oxide lightning arrester has strong adaptability in the external environment.
[0019] This solution is applicable to power equipment in onshore wind farms with an average annual wind speed of 1.5-5.4m / s.
