[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 , the utility model provides an embodiment: a lightning protection meteorological monitoring signal tower, including a signal tower body 1, two opening and closing shells 2 are connected to the top side of the signal tower body 1, a rotating seat 10 fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the signal tower body 1, the bottom ends of the two opening and closing shells 2 on the separated sides are fixedly connected with a rotating member 11, the rotating member 11 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating seat 10, an electric push rod 3 is located at the bottom side of an insulating member 4, the non-driving end of the electric push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the signal tower body 1 through a frame, the driving end of the electric push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the insulating member 4 made of insulating ceramic, the top side of the insulating member 4 is fixedly connected with a conductive member 5, the outer wall of the conductive member 5 is fixedly connected with a grounding wire 6, the top side of the conductive member 5 is fixedly connected with a lightning rod 7, a gear 9 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating member 11, the outer wall of the lightning rod 7 is fixedly connected with a rack 8 on both sides, and the rack 8 is meshed with the gear 9;
[0025] Specifically, high-purity, high-density ceramic materials have good insulation and high-temperature resistance, and can effectively withstand electric shock and remain stable under lightning strikes. By arranging the insulating member 4 made of ceramic material between the conductive member 5 and the electric push rod 3, it is prevented that after lightning strikes the lightning rod 7, the lightning guided by the lightning rod 7 is transmitted to the electric push rod 3, thereby protecting the electric push rod 3 from operating normally. The grounding wire 6 is connected to the ground, and the lightning rod 7 struck by lightning conducts electricity to the conductive member 5 and then to the grounding wire 6, which conducts the electricity to the earth. When there is no thunder and lightning, the lightning rod 7 is protected by the closed opening and closing shell 2. When thunder and lightning occurs, in order to protect the equipment on the signal tower, the driving end of the electric push rod 3 pushes the insulating part 4, the conductive part 5 and the lightning rod 7 on the top side to move upward, and the displaced lightning rod 7 drives the rack 8 fixed on the outer wall to move, so that the rack 8 engages with the transmission gear 9, and the rotating part 11 fixed to the gear 9 rotates with the gear 9 at the same time, rotates on the rotating seat 10, and drives the opening and closing shell 2 fixed to the rotating part 11 to rotate, thereby opening the opening and closing shell 2, so that the lightning rod 7 continues to rise and is exposed to the outside for lightning protection.
[0026] A transparent plastic plate is installed on the top side of the solar panel 12 installed on the top side of the opening and closing shell 2, and a battery is installed inside the signal tower pole body 1. The solar panel 12 is connected to the battery. The solar panel 12 is connected to the battery through a line to convert solar energy into electrical energy. The charging circuit principle of the solar panel 12 is as follows: first, the solar panel 12 absorbs sunlight and converts it into direct current. The solar controller is used to control the solar panel 12 to charge the battery and the battery to supply power to the solar inverter load. Automatic control equipment to avoid overload, the transparent plastic plate can protect the surface of the solar panel 12 from being corroded by rain and snow on rainy and snowy days, and does not affect the normal operation of the solar panel 12. The battery can provide additional power for the equipment on the signal tower, thereby reducing the power consumption of the signal tower and saving energy. When the opening and closing shell 2 is opened, the solar panel 12 fixed on the opening and closing shell 2 will rotate and move with the opening and closing shell 2, and no longer perform solar energy conversion work.
[0027] The left and right sides of the outer wall of the signal tower body 1 are fixedly connected with mounting frames 13, the front and rear sides of the mounting frames 13 are fixedly connected with ear plates 14, and the top side of the ear plates 14 is provided with pre-installed holes;
[0028] Specifically, the mounting frame 13 and the ear plate 14 are both made of stainless steel to reduce corrosion from the external natural environment. The ear plate 14 can be pre-installed with holes to install devices used for meteorological monitoring, such as surveillance cameras, rain meters, humidity detectors, etc.
[0029] Working principle: When there is no lightning, the lightning rod 7 is protected by the closed opening and closing housing 2. When lightning occurs, in order to protect the equipment on the signal tower, the top insulating member 4, the conductive member 5, and the lightning rod 7 are pushed upward by the driving end of the electric push rod 3. The displaced lightning rod 7 drives the rack 8 fixed on the outer wall to move, so that the rack 8 engages with the transmission gear 9, and the rotating member 11 fixed to the gear 9 rotates with the gear 9 at the same time, rotates on the rotating seat 10, and drives the opening and closing housing 2 fixed to the rotating member 11 to rotate, thereby opening the opening and closing housing 2, allowing the lightning rod 7 to continue to rise and be exposed to the outside for lightning protection. By setting the insulating member 4 made of ceramic material between the conductive member 5 and the electric push rod 3, it is prevented that after the lightning hits the lightning rod 7, the lightning guided by the lightning rod 7 is transmitted to the electric push rod 3, thereby protecting the electric push rod 3 to operate normally.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
