Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic lightning protection, in particular to a photovoltaic lightning protection device. Background Art

[0002] Photovoltaic lightning protection is used to protect solar power generation from lightning. Existing photovoltaic lightning protection mainly involves four aspects: grounding (all metal parts in the photovoltaic system, such as photovoltaic module frames and brackets, should be connected to the joint grounding body at the same potential), lightning rods (lightning rods can attract lightning and guide it to the ground, thereby reducing the direct impact of lightning on the photovoltaic system), lightning protection devices (lightning protection devices are gradually installed in the system loop) and structural optimization (improving the structure of the equipment to reduce the probability of being struck by lightning). It can effectively protect the photovoltaic system from damage caused by lightning. Ensure its safety and reliability; grounding is an important measure to prevent lightning strikes, which can release static electricity and charge and reduce the potential difference caused by air pressure changes. The installation process of general lightning protection grounding rods is: foundation preparation (casting a cement concrete column with a depth of 1.5m and a diameter of 0.6m) → drilling (drilling a hole with a diameter of 20mm on the upper surface of the concrete column, and drilling into the soil under the cement concrete column along the hole) → fixing the grounding rod (inserting the lower end of the fixed grounding rod into the drilled hole) → wiring (connecting the grounding wire and the upper end of the grounding rod together).

[0003] After a certain period of use and environmental influences, the material, structure and function of the grounding rod will change, leading to safety hazards. According to relevant regulations, generally speaking, the service life of the grounding rod is five years, and it needs to be inspected and replaced regularly; however, after five years of contact and adhesion between the lower end of the grounding rod and the underlying soil, the bond is relatively firm, and the surface of the main part of the grounding rod in the technology is smooth, so it is easy to slip when the grounding rod is manually pulled out; that is, it is difficult to manually pull out the grounding rod. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The photovoltaic lightning protection device comprises soil, concrete columns and lightning grounding rods. The concrete columns are fixedly arranged in the soil, the lower ends of the lightning grounding rods pass through the concrete columns and are arranged in the soil, and the periphery of the lightning grounding rods is densely provided with a plurality of equally spaced annular slots.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 , a photovoltaic lightning protection device, including a soil body 1, a concrete column 2 is pre-cast and arranged at the upper end of the soil body 1, that is, the concrete column 2 is fixedly installed in the soil body 1, the height of the concrete column 2 is 1.5m, and the diameter is 0.6m. Before the concrete column 2 in the present application is cast with concrete, a 1.8m high guide pipe 10 is inserted in advance into the pit excavated in the soil body 1;

[0022] The guide tube 10 itself has an inner hole, which eliminates the need for drilling holes in the concrete column 2 at a later stage, and the inner diameter of the hole of the guide tube 10 is 21 mm. A lightning protection grounding rod 11 is arranged in the guide tube 10, and the outer diameter of the lightning protection grounding rod 11 is 20 mm, that is, the inner diameter of the guide tube 10 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the lightning protection grounding rod 11, which facilitates the lightning protection grounding rod 111 to be inserted into or pulled out of the inner hole of the guide tube 10.

[0023] In this embodiment, the lower end of the lightning protection grounding rod 11 is integrally fixedly connected with a drill bit 12, the lower end periphery of the lightning protection grounding rod 11 is also provided with a lower connecting thread 13, and the upper end periphery of the lightning protection grounding rod 11 is provided with an upper connecting thread 2 18, the lower connecting thread 13 and the upper connecting thread 2 18 can be threadedly connected with the connector for the grounding rod in the prior art, and the connector for the grounding rod is used to connect the two ends of the two lightning protection grounding rods 11;

[0024] The upper connecting thread 18 can also increase the friction on the upper end of the lightning protection grounding rod 11, and can more stably wrap the connecting grounding wire. The outer periphery of the lightning protection grounding rod 11 is densely provided with a plurality of equidistantly arranged annular grooves 14, and the plurality of annular grooves 14 are mainly used to increase the friction on the outer surface of the lightning protection grounding rod 11, so as to facilitate manual removal of the lightning protection grounding rod 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, the upper end of the concrete column 2 is fixedly connected with a boss 9, which is arranged at the periphery of the upper end of the guide tube 10, that is, the upper surface of the boss 9 is higher than the upper surface of the concrete column 2, and rainwater entering the boss 9 will automatically flow into the upper surface of the concrete column 2. Both sides of the upper surface of the concrete column 2 are fixedly connected with screws 7, and two screws 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the boss 9. The two screws 7 are connected with an insulating waterproof box cover 3, and the lower ends of the insulating waterproof box cover 3 are respectively fixedly installed with side panels 4;

[0026] The side panels 4 are each provided with a through hole 5, and two screws 7 respectively pass through the through holes 5 upwards. The top end of the screw 7 is threadedly connected with a nut 6, and the lower end of the nut 6 is extruded and installed on the upper surface of the side panel 4, that is, the insulating waterproof box cover 3 can be fixed on the two screws 7 through the two nuts 6. The insulating waterproof box cover 3 is arranged above the boss 9. The insulating waterproof box cover 3 is used to shield the upper end of the lightning protection grounding rod 11 and the grounding wire. A wire threading port 8 is provided on one side of the insulating waterproof box cover 3, and the wire threading port 8 is used to pass the grounding wire connected to the upper end of the lightning protection grounding rod 11.

[0027] It should be noted that after the plurality of annular grooves 14 increase the friction force of the outer wall of the lightning protection grounding rod 11, it can also be used with an adapted labor-saving crowbar, which is composed of a lever 15, a handle 16 and a right-angle prying angle 19.

The power arm is much larger than the resistance arm. Then, from power×power arm=resistance×resistance arm, it can be known that using the labor-saving crowbar can lift the lightning protection grounding rod 11 more labor-savingly.

[0029] The utility model, firstly, through the pre-buried guide tube 10, firstly, compared with the installation process of the lightning protection grounding rod, the drilling of the later concrete column 2 is omitted; secondly, the inner diameter of the guide tube 10 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the lightning protection grounding rod 11, which is convenient for the later lightning protection grounding rod 11 to be inserted into the inner hole of the guide tube 10 or pulled out of the inner hole of the guide tube 10;

[0030] Then, the friction force on the outer surface of the lightning protection grounding rod 11 is increased by a plurality of annular grooves 14, so that it is convenient to manually pull out the lightning protection grounding rod 11. At the same time, a labor-saving crowbar can also be used, with the lower end of the right-angle prying angle 19 as a fulcrum, and then the arc-shaped V-shaped groove 17 in the right-angle prying angle 19 is engaged and inserted into the annular groove 14. The lever 15 can be used as a power arm, and one side of the right-angle prying angle 19 can be used as a resistance arm, so that the lightning protection grounding rod 11 can be pulled out from the guide tube 10 and the soil 1 below more labor-savingly, that is, it is easier to manually pull out the lightning protection grounding rod 11.
