When the line is struck by lightning, the lightning current may cause ground potential counter-attack and lightning overvoltage when it enters the ground along the tower, which will not only damage the line itself, but also transmit the intrusion wave overvoltage generated along the line to the wind turbine, threatening the safe, stable and reliable operation of the wind turbine high-voltage equipment and its auxiliary facilities.

[0035] The utility model is further described in conjunction with the following embodiments.
[0036] Example 1.
[0037] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a lightning protection device for a wind farm collector line includes a connecting frame 1, a lightning rod 2 is arranged on the top of the connecting frame 1, two groups of lightning protection mechanisms 3 are installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 1, the lightning protection mechanisms 3 penetrate the connecting frame 1, and a lightning detection component 4 is connected to the lightning protection mechanisms 3.
[0038] When connecting and using, the lightning rod 2 is connected to the two sets of lightning protection mechanisms 3 by installing the connecting frame 1, and the lightning detection components 4 are used to detect them respectively. The lightning rod 2 and the lightning protection mechanism 3 are used in combination to improve the lightning protection and lightning arresting effect.
[0039] The lightning protection mechanism 3 includes an insulating rod core 5, a raised mounting head 6 is provided at the top of the insulating rod core 5, the mounting head passes through the connecting frame 1, a first voltage limiting element 7 is provided on the insulating rod core 5, a first voltage equalizing ring 8 is installed below the first voltage limiting element 7, a second voltage equalizing ring 9 is provided below the first voltage equalizing ring 8, a ceramic insulating string 10 is provided between the first voltage equalizing ring 8 and the second voltage equalizing ring 9, a second voltage limiting element 11 is provided at the bottom of the second voltage limiting ring 9, a connecting rod head 12 is provided below the second voltage limiting element 11, and a connecting seat 13 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod head 12.
[0040] The two groups of voltage-limiting elements arranged in the lightning protection mechanism 3 can instantly increase the resistance when lightning strikes. At the same time, the first voltage-limiting ring 8 and the second voltage-limiting ring 9 installed at the bottom of the first voltage-limiting element 7 and the top of the second voltage-limiting element 11 can effectively prevent the generation of side lightning strikes, and can evenly distribute the high voltage around the object to ensure that there is no potential difference between the various parts of the ring, thereby achieving the effect of voltage balancing. The ceramic insulating conductor installed between the first voltage-limiting ring 8 and the second voltage-limiting ring 9 can limit the lightning overvoltage, so that the current passing through is suppressed to a lower value, and finally guided by the connecting rod head 12 to the connecting seat 13 installed at the bottom.
[0041] An annular electrode 14 is provided at the top of the first voltage limiting element 7 and the bottom of the second voltage limiting element 11. The annular electrode 14 is sleeved on the outside of the insulating rod core 5. The annular electrodes 14 installed at both ends can adjust the arc position to a certain extent when struck by lightning to achieve controllable arc position and prevent arcs from being generated at other positions.
[0042] A snap-in groove 16 is provided on the connecting seat 13, and the snap-in groove 16 is installed in cooperation with the connecting rod head 12, and a wire clamp 17 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 13. The setting of the snap-in groove 16 facilitates the connection between the connecting seat 13 and the connecting rod head 12, thereby improving the installation efficiency and stability. The wire clamp 17 provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 13 can facilitate the lightning protection mechanism 3 on the connecting seat 13 to be quickly connected to the integrated circuit.
[0043] Two groups of through holes 15 are opened at the top of the connecting frame 1, and the insulating rod core 5 passes through the through holes 15. The diameter of the raised mounting head 6 connected to the top of the insulating rod core 5 is larger than the diameter of the through holes 15. The insulating rod core 5 and the overall lightning protection device are connected and installed with the connecting frame 1 through the mounting head passing through the through holes 15.
[0044] The lightning detection component 4 is connected to the top of the two groups of lightning protection mechanisms 3 and the lightning rod 2 respectively. The lightning detection component 4 can perform real-time detection on the lightning protection mechanisms 3 and the lightning rod 2 to improve the safety of lightning protection.
[0045] During the production process, the two groups of lightning protection mechanisms 3 and the lightning rod 2 are combined through the connecting frame 1, which plays a good role in lightning protection. At the same time, the voltage limiting element and the insulator in the lightning protection mechanism 3 are connected at intervals through the equalizing ring, and the functions of the insulator and the lightning arrester are integrated to improve the lightning protection effect. The connecting seat 13 arranged at the bottom of the lightning protection mechanism 3 can be quickly connected to the connecting rod head 12 in the lightning protection mechanism 3, and the wire clamp 17 arranged on the connecting seat 13 can be quickly connected to the collector line to improve the lightning protection effect.
