[0002] With the advancement of society, people's production and daily lives have become closely intertwined with the use of electricity. During the use of various electronic equipment, instruments, and communication lines, transient surges in current or voltage caused by external factors can easily cause damage to the equipment or data loss. Therefore, protective devices that maintain continuity and provide safety during product application are essential technical means for existing equipment such as medical equipment, nuclear power plants, and data centers.
[0003] Many existing redundant backup power supplies use electronic circuits for conversion. Although they have the advantages of high sensitivity and fast response speed, they are also affected by surges of current or voltage fluctuations during operation, resulting in reduced response speed and even erroneous operation. There are also those that use a magnetic structure for jump conversion, which is also affected by external factors and has the defect that magnetic control is difficult to accurately control.

The side of the left connecting rod close to the welding piece is fixedly connected to one end of the left spring. The other end of the left spring is fixed to the shell away from the main lightning protection element. Under the tension of the left spring, the left connecting rod moves toward the direction of the middle connecting piece on the shell.

[0019] See attached Figures 1 to 3 A mechanical power supply lightning arrester with redundant backup mainly consists of a housing 1, a main lightning arrester 2 and a backup lightning arrester 3. The housing 1 is provided with a right telemetry signal output terminal 13 and a left telemetry signal output terminal 12 respectively. A main protection status window 15 and a backup status window 16 are provided on the outer surface of the housing 1. The main lightning arrester 2 and the backup lightning arrester 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1. An intermediate connector 14 is provided between the main lightning arrester 2 and the backup lightning arrester 3, which can automatically switch to the backup lightning arrester 3 when the main lightning arrester 2 fails.
[0020] The main lightning protection device 2 is composed of a main lightning protection element 21, a left connecting rod 22, a left micro-contact switch 23 and a left spring 24. The main lightning protection element 21 is fixed on the left side of the shell 1. One end of the left connecting rod 22 is hinged to the shell 1, and the other end is welded and electrically connected to the main lightning protection element 21 through a welding piece 222 thereon. The side of the left connecting rod 22 close to the welding piece 222 is fixedly connected to one end of the left spring 24, and the other end of the left spring 24 is fixed on the shell 1 away from the main lightning protection element 21. Under the tension of the left spring 24, the left connecting rod 22 moves toward the direction of the intermediate connecting piece 14 on the shell 1. The left connecting rod 22 is connected to the external protected power supply. The left micro-contact switch 23 is located on one side of the left connecting rod 22 and on the shell 1 away from the main lightning protection element 21. The left micro-contact switch 23 is electrically connected to the left telemetry signal output terminal 12 through a signal line.
[0021] The welding connection between the welding piece 222 and the main lightning protection element 21 is a 135°C trip welding;
[0022] The backup lightning protection device 3 is composed of a backup lightning protection element 31, a right connecting rod 32, a right micro-contact switch 33 and a right spring 34. The backup lightning protection element 31 is fixed on the shell 1, one end of the right connecting rod 32 is hinged on the shell 1, and the other end is welded to the intermediate connecting piece 14 through the welding piece 321 thereon. One side of the right connecting rod 32 near the welding piece 321 is fixedly connected to one end of the right spring 34, and the other end of the right spring 34 is fixed to the shell 1 near the backup lightning protection element 31. Under the pulling force of the right spring 34, the right connecting rod 32 tends to move in the direction of separating from the intermediate connecting piece 14 on the shell 1. The right connecting rod 32 is connected to the external power supply. The right micro-contact switch 33 is located on one side of the right connecting rod 32 and on the shell 1 between the backup lightning protection element 31 and the right connecting rod 32. The right micro-contact switch 33 is electrically connected to the right telemetry signal output terminal 13 through a signal line.
[0023] The welding piece 321 on the right connecting rod 32 is welded to the intermediate connecting piece 14 in a 135°C release welding manner;
[0024] The left linkage rod 22 is provided with a left contact 221 , and the contact 221 corresponds to the contact on the left micro-contact switch 23 .
[0025] See attached Figure 4 When the main lightning protection element 21 of the present invention is working, the main lightning protection element 21 obtains power from the external power supply through the welding piece 222 and the left connecting rod 22, and the main lightning protection element 21 works normally. The main protection status window 15 provided on the outer surface of the housing 1 displays a green light indicating normal operation;
[0026] See attached Figure 5 When the main lightning protection element 21 fails and generates heat, the welding point between the welding piece 222 on the left linkage rod 22 and the main lightning protection element 21 is a 135°C trip weld (low-temperature welding). The solder melts, and the left linkage rod 22 is released from the main lightning protection element 21, causing the left linkage rod 22 to swing to the right under the tension of the left spring 24. The metal contact on the left linkage rod 22 simultaneously contacts the middle connecting piece 14, and the middle connecting piece 14 is welded to the right linkage rod 32. The right linkage rod 32 is then connected to the backup lightning protection element 31, so that the power is directly connected to the right backup lightning protection element 31. At this time, the right backup lightning protection element 31 is in working condition, and the left main lightning protection element 21 fails at the same time. The main protection status window 15 provided on the outer surface of the shell 1 displays a red light indicating abnormal operation, while the backup status window 16 provided on the outer surface of the shell 1 displays a green light indicating normal operation.
[0027] See attached Figure 6When the right backup lightning arrester 31 also fails, the soldering iron 321 on the right linkage rod 32 and the intermediate connector 14 also disengage due to the low-temperature solder melting. This causes the right linkage rod 32 to swing to the right under the pull of the right spring 34, breaking contact with the power line and preventing a short circuit fire. At this point, the entire lightning arrester is completely inoperable. Both the main protection status window 15 and the backup status window 16 on the outer surface of the housing 1 display red lights indicating malfunction, alerting the operator.
[0028] When the left and right connecting rods 22 and 32 are tripped, the left micro contact switch 23 or the right micro contact switch 33 will be pressed at the same time. When the left connecting rod 22 is in action, the contact button of the left micro contact switch 23 is pressed, the switch state changes, and the COM and NO connection signals are output, which are output through the left telemetry signal output terminal 12 to remind relevant personnel to deal with it in time; when the right connecting rod 32 is in action, the contact button of the right micro contact switch 33 is pressed, the switch state changes, and the COM and NO connection signals are output, which are output through the right micro contact switch 33 terminal to remind relevant personnel to deal with it in time.
