Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lightning current shunting for floating roof storage tanks, and particularly relates to a lightning current shunt with an anti-reverse protection device. Background Art

[0002] The traditional lightning protection and static electricity grounding method for the floating roof of crude oil storage tanks generally uses two 25mm2 soft copper stranded wires to connect the floating roof from the top of the tank wall with a length greater than the height of the tank. When the floating roof rises with the liquid level, the soft copper stranded wires are scattered on the floating roof. Due to the sulfur content in the crude oil and gas and the influence of wind and rain, the soft copper stranded wires are extremely easy to corrode, thus there are potential safety hazards. The existing lightning current shunts for external floating roof tanks are all fixed on one end of the shell and the rotating shaft in a non-flexible manner by a flat spiral spring. The steel braided shunt wire is fixedly wound around the other end of the rotating shaft. The expansion and contraction of the steel braided shunt wire are controlled by the elastic force of the flat spiral spring. In actual use, when the floating roof of the storage tank rises to the highest point, with the up and down floating of the storage tank and in windy weather, the steel braided shunt wire is driven, resulting in irregular extension and retraction. The frequent telescopic vibration will cause the flat spiral spring and its rotating shaft in the equipment to always rotate forward and backward, or reverse when the manual operation is improper. When reversing, mechanical interference occurs between the flat spiral spring and the rotating shaft, which is extremely easy to cause the fracture of the flat spiral spring.

[0003] The publication (announcement) number is CN208413525U, which discloses a lightning current shunt with a self-locking device, including a lightning current shunt structure. There is a flat spiral spring and a copper braid in the lightning current shunt structure. One end of the flat spiral spring is fixed on the shell of the lightning current shunt structure, and the other end is fixed on the main shaft connected to the reel; one end of the copper braid is fixed on the inner upper part of the reel in the lightning current shunt structure, and the other end passes through the self-locking device fixed on the lightning current shunt structure. This self-locking device can give a reaction force to the copper braid that is about to expand and contract in the swinging state, reduce its expansion and contraction speed, and keep the flat spiral spring in a stable state.

[0004] Although the above solution can avoid the rapid repeated expansion and contraction of the copper braid driving the spiral spring under the action of wind force through the self-locking device, the self-locking device presses the copper braid by the swinging part swinging under the action of wind force, and the locking effect of the copper braid is extremely unstable. The spiral spring will still be pulled and expanded and contracted by the wind force, and the protection effect of the equipment on the spiral spring is average. Therefore, we propose a lightning current shunt with an anti-reverse protection device. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The main purpose of the present utility model is to provide a lightning current shunt with an anti-reverse protection device. By setting a mobilizing unit and a limiting unit, the problem that the copper braid is pressed by the swinging part swinging under the action of wind force, the locking effect of the copper braid is extremely unstable, the volute spring still stretches and retracts under the action of wind force, and the protection effect of the device on the volute spring is general is solved.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: A lightning current shunt with an anti-reverse protection device, including a spring box and a steel braid shunt wire wound and stored on the spring box through a spring, further including: a mobilizing unit and a limiting unit provided on the spring box;

[0007] The mobilizing unit includes an outlet box, a bearing box, a servo motor, a bidirectional lead screw, and a transverse strip. The outlet box is fixedly arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the bottom end of the spring box. The bearing box is fixedly arranged at the bottom end of the outlet box, and an outlet through groove with a position size matching the position and the inner diameter size of the end of the outlet box is opened at the center of the bottom surface of the bearing box. The steel braid shunt wire is led into the interior of the outlet box and extends to the outside of the bearing box through the outlet through groove. The servo motor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one end of the bearing box. The bidirectional lead screw is arranged at the output end of the servo motor. There are two transverse strips in total, and they respectively cooperate with the symmetrically arranged positive and negative two sections of threads on the bidirectional lead screw;

[0008] The limiting unit includes a limiting sleeve, a support spring, a support frame, and an abutting roller. The limiting sleeve is fixedly arranged at the center of the side surface of the transverse strip facing the vertical central axis of the bearing box. One end of the support spring is fixedly connected to the transverse strip and is located inside the limiting sleeve. The support frame is in a "U" shape and is fixedly arranged at the other end of the support spring. A rotating rod is installed on the support frame. The abutting roller is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating rod. There are two groups of limiting units, which are arranged oppositely on the two transverse strips.

[0009] Preferably, the mobilizing unit further includes a guide rod, and the guide rod is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the other end of the bearing box and movably penetrates through the two transverse strips.

[0010] Preferably, the support spring is arranged parallel to the bidirectional lead screw.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the lightning current shunt with an anti-reverse protection device of the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In the present utility model, by setting the adjustment unit, the steel braided shunt wire wound and stored on the spring box is introduced into the wire outlet box and extends to the outside of the bearing box through the wire outlet slot, and then can pass between the two limiting units. By the operation of the servo motor, the bidirectional lead screw can rotate forward and backward on the wire outlet box. The two transverse strips threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw move relative to each other in the bearing box under the action of force, which can drive the two limiting units to adjust the distance. The guide rod is set to guide the sliding and translation of the transverse strip to cooperate with its adjustment and provide auxiliary support for it. The part of the steel braided shunt wire located inside the bearing box can be clamped and fixed by the two limiting units to complete the locking, avoiding it being affected by the wind force. The locking operation of the steel braided shunt wire is stable, effectively protecting the scroll spring.

[0016] 2. In the present utility model, by setting the limiting unit, the support spring that supports and fixes the support frame can help the abutting roller on the support frame to flexibly abut against the steel braided shunt wire under the limitation of the limiting sleeve. Moreover, when the steel braided shunt wire is pulled and adjusted with the rise and fall of the storage tank floating roof, the support spring can deform and stretch to loosen the steel braided shunt wire to a certain extent to avoid the steel braided shunt wire being completely locked.
