DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0020] Example 1: Figure 1 and 2 , including an assembly connecting plate 6, a DC lightning arrester 1 is fixedly installed on the top surface of one side of the assembly connecting plate 6, a counter protective cover positioning hole 62 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the side of the assembly connecting plate 6 away from the DC lightning arrester 1, a discharge counter 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the counter protective cover positioning hole 62, the discharge counter 4 is electrically connected to the DC lightning arrester 1 through the connecting row 2, and a grounding bolt hole 63 is opened on the top surface of the assembly connecting plate 6, and the grounding bolt hole 63 is electrically connected to the ground through a stainless steel bolt 8 through a wire.

[0021] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is: an assembly connection plate 6 is provided for installing a DC lightning arrester 1 and a discharge counter 4. The main components of the DC lightning arrester 1 are the main components of the lightning arrester. The inside is a core body, and the outside is a jacket formed by die-casting of an encapsulated silicone rubber. The bottom is a base, and the top surface is a high-voltage terminal. A DC zinc oxide resistor is used as the main electrical component inside the core body. Hardware and buffer springs are provided at both ends of the resistor to prevent damage to the resistor from various impact vibrations. After being compressed, it is covered with an insulating tube. The insulating tube has high mechanical strength. When the lightning arrester is overloaded When a fault occurs, it will not cause a vicious explosion. The core of the DC lightning arrester 1 is coated with a special primer liquid, so that the silicone rubber composite jacket is bonded to the core during molding, eliminating the control of breathing, avoiding accidents caused by moisture in the DC lightning arrester 1, and improving the heat dissipation performance of the resistor. The DC lightning arrester 1 jacket adopts an anti-fouling large and small umbrella design, which has excellent pollution resistance and hydrophobicity, and can operate reliably in various harsh atmospheric environments. The base of the DC lightning arrester 1 is made of alloy aluminum, and the terminals and other exposed metal parts are made of stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and beautiful. The discharge meter The counter 4 uses a six-digit liquid crystal display to record the number of times the arrester operates. It has a compact structure, beautiful appearance, and reliable sealing. The copper braided belt with a resistance of less than 1 milliohm is used internally to connect with the DC arrester side contact, which will not raise the protective residual voltage value of the arrester. It has high sensitivity, accuracy and reliability, and there is no direct electrical connection between the arrester circuit and the counter measurement circuit. The electrical part of the discharge counter 4 is composed of a counting unit, an optical coupler, a converter, and an induction coil. The discharge counter 4 part works through a built-in self-contained power supply. When the system is working normally, the current flowing through the copper braided belt is The arrester's own leakage current is only in the millimeter level, which is not enough to excite the induction coil to generate a sampling voltage, and the back-end counting circuit does not work. When the DC arrester 1 is subjected to operation or lightning overvoltage, the current flowing through the copper braided belt exceeds 50A, and the induction coil circuit generates an induced voltage signal. This signal is rectified, shaped and clamped by the converter to drive the optocoupler. The output end of the optocoupler generates a pull-down signal level, which is sent to the input end of the single-chip microcomputer of the discharge counter 4. The single-chip microcomputer of the counting unit outputs a carry signal to drive the LCD digital tube to display the accumulation once and keep the memory.

[0022] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 2A DC lightning arrester positioning hole 61 is provided on the top surface of the assembly connecting plate 6. There are three DC lightning arrester positioning holes 61, which are distributed in a circular array. The three DC lightning arrester positioning holes 61 are fixedly connected to the base of the DC lightning arrester 1 by three stainless steel bolts 9. A counter protective cover positioning hole 62 is provided on the top surface of the assembly connecting plate 6. There are four counter protective cover positioning holes 62, which are distributed in a rectangular shape. The inner wall of the counter protective cover positioning hole 62 is fixedly connected to the counter protective cover 3 by a stainless steel bolt 7. Rounded rectangular slots 64 are provided on the top surfaces of the front and rear sides of the assembly connecting plate 6 for easy installation and adjustment. The inner wall of the counter protective cover 3 is fixedly installed with a discharge counter bracket by four stainless steel bolts 5. The discharge counter bracket is set in a U shape, and the discharge counter 4 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the discharge counter bracket.

[0023] The specific usage scenario of this embodiment is: the DC lightning arrester positioning hole 61 is used to install the DC lightning arrester 1, the counter protective cover positioning hole 62 is set to install the counter protective cover 3, and the discharge counter bracket is set to fix the discharge counter 4 inside the counter protective cover 3.

[0024] The working principle of the utility model is: when in use, a person skilled in the art fixes the DC lightning arrester 1 on the DC lightning arrester positioning hole 61 on the top surface of the assembly connecting plate 6 through a stainless steel bolt three 9, fixes the counter shield 3 on the counter shield positioning hole 62 through a stainless steel bolt one 7, then fixes the discharge counter bracket on the inner wall of the counter shield positioning hole 62, and then fixes the discharge counter 4 on the electrical counter bracket, and electrically connects the DC lightning arrester 1 and the discharge counter 4 through a counter connecting row 2. The DC lightning arrester 1 uses a DC metal oxide resistor as a main electrical component, which has excellent volt-ampere characteristics, presents a high resistance value under normal operating voltage, and only flows a small leakage current. When lightning and operating overvoltage occur in the system, it presents a low resistance, so that the residual pressure of the lightning arrester is limited to below the allowable value, avoiding the pantograph and vehicle equipment from being damaged by overvoltage, thereby providing reliable protection for the vehicle equipment. When necessary, the vehicle maintenance personnel can climb to the top when the vehicle is powered off, observe the cumulative number of discharge actions of the lightning arrester at a close distance, and keep the written record for further analysis.
