[0026] By setting two sets of communication interfaces 8 at the front end of the monitoring lightning protection module 12, and the two sets of communication interfaces 8 have RS485, the monitoring can be realized not only locally but also remotely through information technology;

[0027] The equipment box 2 mainly realizes the following functions: by monitoring the normally open and normally closed states of the remote signal tripping point of the lightning protection module 12, monitoring the operation of the surge to see if an internal trip occurs, monitoring the grounding state of the support rod 1 through the grounding state acquisition port, collecting the lightning current through the peak current monitoring coil 11, and determining the power supply information of the equipment by collecting the power supply voltage of the equipment;

[0031] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment is that by moving the other set of frame plates 32, the other set of frame plates 32 drives one set of semicircular blocks 34 and the two sets of convex blocks 38 to move together, and the two sets of convex blocks 38 slide inside the two sets of convex grooves 37 respectively, and one set of semicircular blocks 34 contacts one end of the other set of semicircular blocks 34 until the inner walls of the two sets of semicircular blocks 34 contact the outer wall of the support rod 1, and then the four sets of hexagonal screws 33 are rotated one by one, so that the four sets of hexagonal screws 33 pass through the four sets of circular holes 39 and are threadedly connected with the four sets of threaded holes 36, thereby fixing the two sets of semicircular blocks 34 to the outer wall of the support rod 1. Since the two sets of guide blocks 31 are fixed to the equipment box 2, the equipment box 2 can be fixed to one side of the support rod 1. Secondly, by moving the equipment box 2 upward or downward, the equipment box 2 is moved to a suitable height.
