[0002] A grounding rod, also known as a "grounding electrode," is a tool used for plasma grounding of electrical equipment. It is commonly used to ground live equipment and permanently grounded cable trays to ensure personal safety and prevent electric shock injuries caused by electrical equipment failures. Currently, grounding rods are typically driven into the soil using a hammer. When it is necessary to remove the grounding rod, it is usually pulled out of the soil by hand, which is time-consuming, laborious, and inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a grounding rod installation and removal device and system, which is time-saving, labor-saving and convenient to use.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a grounding rod installation and removal system, including a grounding rod 100 and grounding rod installation and removal equipment, wherein the grounding rod 100 is inserted into the soil to a depth greater than 60cm.

[0029] Furthermore, the grounding rod installation and removal device includes a first force-applying component and a second force-applying component. The first force-applying component is used to drive the grounding rod 100 into the soil, and the second force-applying component is used to pull the grounding rod 100 out of the soil. The first force-applying component and the second force-applying component are connected by a connecting rod 3. Specifically, the first force-applying component is a hammer head 1, and the second force-applying component is a snap-fit ​​assembly 2. The connecting rod 3 has a first end 31 and an opposite second end 32. The hammer head 1 is located at the first end 31, and the snap-fit ​​assembly 2 is located at the second end 32. The device has a simple structure and only requires one device to achieve two functions. It has a high degree of integration, low cost, and is easy to use. The device also occupies a small space.

[0030] The first end 31 of the connecting rod 3 is welded and fixed to the hammer head 1, and the second end 32 of the connecting rod 3 is welded and fixed to the snap-fit ​​assembly 2. The hammer head 1 has a mounting groove, and the first end 31 of the connecting rod 3 is inserted into the mounting groove. When it is necessary to drive the connector 100 into the soil, the operator holds the middle of the connecting rod 3 and uses the hammer head 1 to tap the connector 100.

[0031] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly 2 includes a central rod 21 and snap-fit ​​pieces 22 located on the central rod 21. The snap-fit ​​pieces 22 and the central rod 21 are welded and fixed together. There are multiple snap-fit ​​pieces 22, specifically two. The snap-fit ​​pieces 22 are C-shaped, with one snap-fit ​​piece 22 having an opening in a first direction and the other snap-fit ​​piece 22 having an opening in a second direction. The first and second directions are opposite, meaning the opening directions of the two snap-fit ​​pieces are opposite. When it is necessary to pull the connector 100 out of the soil, one snap-fit ​​piece 22 snaps onto one arcuate surface of the connector 100, and the other snap-fit ​​piece 22 snaps onto the other arcuate surface of the connector 100, with the two arcuate surfaces facing each other.

[0032] The distance between the two locking pieces 22 is 20-30cm. Specifically, in this embodiment, the distance between the two locking pieces 22 is 20cm. From the perspective of power maintenance, the grounding resistance is checked regularly. When the grounding resistance is found to be too high and cannot meet the safety standards, the grounding rod will be pulled out and replaced with a longer, more numerous, or better-material grounding rod, and reinstalled to reduce the resistance. In this embodiment, the two locking pieces 22 have arc-shaped portions 221 to fit onto the grounding rod 100. Specifically, the main body of the grounding rod 100 is cylindrical. The arc-shaped portions 221 of the locking pieces 22 grip the main body to easily pull the grounding rod 100 out of the soil. The structure is simple and saves time and effort.

[0033] In practical applications, if the internal insulation of a device is damaged, the metal casing of the device is connected to the grounding system through a grounding wire. The fault current immediately flows through the grounding wire to the grounding rod, and the current flows rapidly into the ground through the grounding rod. The huge fault current flows back to the power source, which will immediately cause the circuit breaker on the circuit to trip or the fuse to blow, cutting off the power supply and eliminating the danger. The grounding wire refers to the wire that connects all the devices that need to be grounded to the grounding rod, usually copper wire. This embodiment can not only quickly pull the grounding rod out of the soil, but also effectively shorten the time for removing the grounding wire.

[0034] In this embodiment, the original hammer head is optimized by adding a connecting rod 3 and a snap-fit ​​component 2 is provided at the second end 32 of the connecting rod 3. The two snap-fit ​​components 22 can effectively snap the grounding rod 100. The grounding rod 100 can be easily pulled out of the soil by holding the middle part of the connecting rod 3. Similarly, when it is necessary to drive the grounding rod into the soil, the hammer head 1 is aligned with the grounding rod 100 by holding the middle part of the connecting rod 3 to drive the grounding rod 100 into the soil.

[0035] As indicated in this specification and claims, the terms "comprising" and "including" only indicate the inclusion of expressly identified steps and elements, and these steps and elements do not constitute an exclusive list; the method or apparatus may also include other steps or elements. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any combination of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, when a feature is referred to as "fixed" or "connected" to another feature, it can be directly fixed or connected to the other feature, or indirectly fixed or connected to the other feature. Furthermore, the descriptions of "up," "down," "left," and "right" used in this invention are only relative to the relative positional relationships of the various components of the invention in the accompanying drawings.
