[0024] The first inner protection component 8 includes an inner liquid storage tank 801 and a reflux groove 802, which are glued together as a whole. A groove for fitting and connecting a brush head 803 is provided on one side of the surface of the inner liquid storage tank 801. The reflux groove 802 is located below the brush head 803. The brush head 803 is installed on the inner wall of the contact protection layer 3 through a fixing rod 804 running through its axis.
[0025] The outer protection component 10 includes an outer liquid storage tank 1001 and an air intake chamber 1002. The outer liquid storage tank 1001 is connected to the inner liquid storage tank 801 through pipes running through the insulating rod 1. A push rod 1003 is installed inside the air intake chamber 1002, and a piston 1004 is glued to one end of the push rod 1003.
[0026] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the driving gear 4 is provided with a handle through a shaft rod passing through the axis center thereof, and the handle is located outside the insulating rod 1, and the lightning rod 7 forms a lifting structure inside the insulating rod 1 through a lead screw 6, and at the same time, limiting grooves and sliders for slidingly connecting the lightning rod 7 are respectively provided on both sides of the inner wall of the insulating rod 1; compared with the manual direct contact maintenance method, the telescopic structure of the lightning rod 7 is utilized so that during the telescopic process, the brush head 803 attached to the outer wall thereof is used to treat its surface, thereby effectively removing stains attached to the surface.
[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a conductor with an external insulating coating is provided on one side of the lightning rod 7, and a through hole for wiring is provided at one end of the insulating rod 1, and a plurality of wire ducts 12 for clamping the wires are glued and connected on the surface of the insulating rod 1; the bottom of the lightning rod 7 is connected to the high-voltage equipment and the ground wire buried in the ground through a wire running through the outside of the insulating rod 1, and after the charge is collected, the charge is introduced into the ground through the wire and the grounding body, so as to reduce the damage of the high-voltage equipment to the lightning. It should be noted that when the wire is laid, the length of the wire located on the surface of the insulating rod 1 must meet the maximum form distance of the lightning rod 7 rising, and when the wire rises and falls with the lightning rod 7, it slides accordingly in the wire duct 12 on the surface of the insulating rod 1.
[0028] In this embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, two groups of sealing plates 11 are provided, and the sealing plates 11 respectively form a telescopic structure in the arc-shaped slide groove provided above the inner wall of the contact protection layer 3 through a spring provided at one end thereof; since the lightning rod 7 forms a lifting structure inside the insulating rod 1, and the hollow-out design at the top avoids the problem of water accumulation inside the insulating rod 1, the sealing plates 11 are provided to effectively avoid the occurrence of such problems. Since a spring is provided on one side of the sealing plate 11, when the lightning rod 7 rises after cleaning, its top outer wall will fit in the through hole between the sealing plates 11. As the lightning rod 7 continues to rise, the sealing plates 11 on both sides will be squeezed to a certain extent. At the same time, due to the elastic structure of the sealing plate 11, a corresponding part will shrink into the slide groove of the inner wall of the contact protection layer 3. The elastic structure of the sealing plate 11 will not only effectively provide protection but also will not cause obstruction during the operation of the lightning rod 7.
[0029] In this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first inner protection component 8 and the second inner protection component 9 are respectively provided with two groups, and the second inner protection component 9 has the same structure as the first inner protection component 8, and the brush head 803 is respectively connected to the surface of the fixed rod 804 in a rolling manner, and at the same time, a through hole for penetrating and connecting the inner liquid storage tank 801 is provided on the surface of the reflux groove 802; when the lightning rod 7 is undergoing a rust removal or dust removal process, clean water or rust remover can be injected into the outer protection component 10, and then transported to the inside of the first inner protection component 8 and the second inner protection component 9 through a pipeline. When the medium for cleaning the surface of the lightning rod 7 is stored in the first inner protection component 8 and the second inner protection component 9, due to the rolling structure of the brush head 803 and the fiber material used therein, the brush head 803 can be used to remove the rust or dust from the surface of the lightning rod 7. The brush heads 803 attached to the outer wall of the lightning rod 7 can be rolled when the lightning rod 7 is raised or lowered, and the notch at one end of the inner liquid storage tank 801 can make the rolling brush heads 803 bring out the internal medium and coat it on the surface of the lightning rod 7. The brush heads 803 are arranged in two groups, upper and lower, in parallel, and completely attached to the outer wall edge of the lightning rod 7. Daily maintenance is achieved without direct manual contact, which effectively improves the safety during daily inspection and maintenance. The reflux groove 802 arranged below the brush heads 803 can receive the medium dripped by the brush heads 803 during the rolling and brushing process. The reflux groove 802 and the inner liquid storage tank 801 are provided with a through hole for communication, and the medium will flow into the inner liquid storage tank 801 again.
[0030] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the piston 1004 is made of rubber material, and the piston 1004 forms a sliding structure inside the air inlet chamber 1002 through the push rod 1003; since the equipment is installed on the top of the high-voltage tower through the fixed stand 2, it will directly contact with lightning. In order to avoid the problem of damage caused by short circuit caused by lightning when using water pump equipment, a medium for cleaning the lightning rod 7 is injected into the inside of the external liquid storage tank 1001, and the push rod 1003 is used to push the piston 1004 to move, thereby changing the pressure inside the external liquid storage tank 1001. When the piston 1004 is pushed forward, the internal space is reduced, and the positive pressure generated will discharge the medium into the first inner protection component 8 and the second inner protection component 9 through the pipeline. This operation method can effectively avoid the problem of damage to internal parts caused by lightning and provide a medium source for subsequent cleaning.
[0031] The use method and advantages of the utility model: The arrester which is easy to maintain, when in use, the working process is as follows:
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, first, the device is installed on the upper platform of the high-voltage equipment through a fixed stand 2. During daily use, the lightning rod 7 is located outside and in contact with the outside world, and the high-voltage equipment is connected to the ground wire through it. When maintenance is required, people are transported to the top through a lifting platform, and a medium for cleaning the lightning rod 7 is poured into the interior of the external liquid storage tank 1001. The piston 1004 is pushed to move toward the interior of the air inlet chamber 1002 by the push rod 1003. At this time, the internal space of the external liquid storage tank 1001 is reduced, and the positive pressure generated will discharge the medium into the first inner protection component 8 and the second inner protection component 9 through the pipeline. At the same time, the handle outside the insulating rod 1 is turned as the active gear The wheel 4 rotates, and the driven gear 5 rotates accordingly to drive the lead screw 6 to rotate, so that the lightning rod 7 threadedly connected thereto descends, and the limiting slide groove and the slider on the inner wall of the insulating rod 1 are connected to the outer wall of the lightning rod 7, effectively ensuring its lifting trajectory. During the descent of the lightning rod 7, the brush heads 803 attached to its outer wall roll respectively, and the rolling brush heads 803 bring out the medium in the inner liquid storage tank 801 and coat it on the surface of the lightning rod 7. When the brush heads 803 are rolling and coating, the dripping medium will fall into the reflux groove 802 and return to the inner liquid storage tank 801, and the upper sealing plate 11 will change the size of its area on the surface of the contact protection layer 3 accordingly as the lightning rod 7 rises and falls.
[0033] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. Technical staff in this industry should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only preferred examples of the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model will have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
