Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of building lightning protection, and in particular to a real-time monitoring terminal integrated into a lightning protection detection system. Background Art

[0002] Lightning is a common natural phenomenon, but the harm it causes should not be underestimated. It can cause severe damage to buildings, electronic equipment, power systems, and even endanger human life. To minimize the damage caused by lightning, taller buildings are often equipped with lightning rods to divert the lightning underground.

[0003] When guiding lightning, lightning rods may also cause failure or damage to nearby electronic equipment or power systems. Therefore, lightning monitoring is also very important. Timely monitoring can temporarily shut down power equipment for equipment protection.

[0004] Lightning monitoring can be carried out on the lightning rod line, and the effect of monitoring lightning can be achieved through direct monitoring or coil induction monitoring. However, the long lightning time period and large current will damage the monitoring components in areas with frequent lightning, greatly shortening the service life of the monitoring components. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a real-time monitoring terminal integrated in a lightning protection detection system, which is used to solve the problem of short service life of the lightning monitoring system.

[0006] The present application provides a real-time monitoring terminal integrated into a lightning protection detection system, comprising an information monitoring component, an information collection box, an information collection component, a controller, and a wireless communicator; the information monitoring component is buried in the soil, the information monitoring component includes two monitoring terminals, the information monitoring component is arranged on one side of a grounding device, the two monitoring terminals are spaced unequally from the grounding device, and the monitoring terminals are in direct contact with the soil; the information collection box is arranged on the ground; the information collection component is arranged in the information collection box, and the information collection component is electrically connected to the two monitoring terminals; the controller is arranged in the information collection box, and the controller is electrically connected to the information collection component; the wireless communicator is arranged in the information collection box, and the wireless communicator is electrically connected to the controller.

[0007] The two monitoring terminals in this application are installed on one side of the grounding device and are spaced at different distances from the grounding device. This allows the grounding device to monitor the potential difference that briefly appears in the soil when guiding lightning, thereby monitoring the lightning information and the current conditions in the area where the monitoring terminals are located through the information acquisition component and controller, and can send information through a wireless communicator for easy reception and processing by staff. This solution uses the potential difference formed by the stray current of the underground detection grounding device to determine the occurrence of lightning and the destructive power and influence of lightning. It helps to reduce the intensity of the detection current, protect the monitoring terminals and related components, and increase the service life of the monitoring system.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the two monitoring terminals are located on the same side of the grounding device, and the two monitoring terminals are collinear with the grounding device. The collinearity of the two monitoring terminals with the grounding device allows for better monitoring of the potential difference of lightning introduced into the ground by the grounding device, helping to determine the lightning impact status in the area to which the monitoring terminals belong.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, multiple monitoring terminals are provided, each of which is located on the same side of the grounding device, with each monitoring terminal spaced unequally from the grounding device. Multiple monitoring terminals can monitor underground current conditions in more areas and at different distances from the grounding device, thereby facilitating guidance on electrical protection.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, multiple monitoring terminals are collinear with the grounding device, which can form a statistical regularity between the spacing and potential difference between the multiple monitoring terminals and the grounding device, facilitating data collection and regularity exploration.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the information monitoring assembly further includes a monitoring body, one of which is disposed between each two adjacent monitoring terminals. The monitoring body is electrically connected to the two adjacent monitoring bodies and is also electrically connected to the information collection assembly. The monitoring body can directly transmit current information by converting the potential difference between the two monitoring terminals, thereby improving the accuracy of the monitoring information.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the information monitoring assembly further includes an insulating protective shell, wherein the monitoring body is disposed within the soil, the insulating protective shell is disposed outside the monitoring body, and the insulating protective shell completely encloses the monitoring body. The insulating protective shell protects the monitoring body and prevents ions from affecting the potential difference data on the monitoring body.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the two monitoring terminals are disposed on one side of the grounding device, and the two monitoring terminals are not collinear with the grounding device. The two monitoring terminals and the grounding device are not collinear, which can reduce the difficulty of installing the monitoring terminals and make it easier to bury the monitoring terminals.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the real-time monitoring terminal integrated into the lightning protection detection system further includes a battery, which is disposed within the information collection box and electrically connected to the controller and the wireless communicator. The battery can power both the controller and the wireless communicator.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the real-time monitoring terminal integrated into the lightning protection detection system further includes an insulated wire electrically connecting the monitoring terminal and the information collection component. The wire can make the electrical signal transmission more accurate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] Lightning is a common natural phenomenon, but the harm it causes should not be underestimated. It can cause severe damage to buildings, electronic equipment, power systems, and even endanger human life. To minimize the damage caused by lightning, taller buildings are often equipped with lightning rods to divert the lightning underground.

[0025] When guiding lightning, lightning rods may also cause failure or damage to nearby electronic equipment or power systems. Therefore, lightning monitoring is also very important. Timely monitoring can temporarily shut down power equipment for equipment protection.

[0026] Lightning monitoring can be carried out on the lightning rod line, and the effect of monitoring lightning can be achieved through direct monitoring or coil induction monitoring. However, the long lightning time period and large current will damage the monitoring components in areas with frequent lightning, greatly shortening the service life of the monitoring components.

[0027] To do this, please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a real-time monitoring terminal integrated in a lightning protection detection system, including an information monitoring component 1, an information collection box 3, an information collection component 4, a controller 5 and a wireless communicator 6.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 Information monitoring assembly 1 is buried in the soil and includes two monitoring terminals 11. Information monitoring assembly 1 is positioned on one side of grounding device 2. The two monitoring terminals 11 are unequally spaced from grounding device 2, and are in direct contact with the soil. Information monitoring assembly 1 can monitor the current of lightning conducted underground by grounding device 2, thereby generating a monitoring signal that helps determine lightning information and its impact.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 The two monitoring terminals 11 can be the same and can both be made of metal materials for directly contacting the soil to collect ion information, such as iron, copper or aluminum; the monitoring terminal 11 can be cylindrical, rectangular or ring-shaped; the two monitoring terminals 11 can both be located in the soil, or only one monitoring terminal 11 can be located in the soil, and the other monitoring terminal 11 can be set on the open ground to form a zero potential point, so that a potential difference is formed after the other monitoring terminal 11 contacts the current emitted by the grounding device 2.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 Grounding device 2 refers to the grounding electrode buried underground and the connecting wires from the grounding electrode to the equipment. It plays a vital role in many fields, such as power systems, electronic equipment, and building lightning protection. Grounding device 2 can be a natural grounding electrode or an artificial grounding electrode.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 The information collection box 3 is set on the ground. The information collection box 3 can be made of metal. In this case, the information collection box 3 can be installed on the ground by using a non-metallic material with poor conductivity, or the information collection box 3 can be directly made of a non-metallic material with poor conductivity. The information collection box 3 can be either a rectangular parallelepiped or a cylindrical shape.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 The information collection component 4 is disposed within the information collection box 3 and is electrically connected to the two monitoring terminals 11. The information collection component 4 is a structure for collecting information on the potential difference across the monitoring terminals 11. It may include an ammeter, a voltmeter, or other lightning detection structure that can be triggered by current. It may be a structure that numerically displays the potential difference across the monitoring terminals 11, or it may simply be a triggering structure that monitors only the occurrence of lightning.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 The controller 5 is disposed in the information collection box 3 and is electrically connected to the information collection component 4. The controller 5 may be an electronic component having control and information processing functions, and may be any one of a PLC, a CPU, or a single-chip microcomputer. It only needs to be able to receive the collected information from the information collection component 4 and perform pre-processing.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1Wireless communicator 6 is installed in information collection box 3 and is electrically connected to controller 5. Wireless communicator 6 is a device that uses wireless signals to transmit information. It uses modulation and demodulation techniques to convert digital or analog signals into high-frequency electromagnetic wave signals suitable for transmission over wireless channels. The received electromagnetic wave signals are then converted back to the original signal at the receiving end. Its basic principles are based on electromagnetic induction and radio wave propagation.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 The wireless signal can be selected from any one or more of WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, 4G / 5G, or satellite communication signals. A corresponding signal receiving structure can be added to the corresponding server to facilitate information reception. Wireless communicator 6 can be connected to a port of controller 5 to transmit information through the logic pre-set within controller 5.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 The two monitoring terminals 11 in this application are installed on one side of the grounding device 2 and are spaced at different distances from the grounding device 2. This allows the grounding device 2 to monitor the short-term potential difference in the soil when guiding lightning, thereby monitoring the lightning information and the current conditions in the area where the monitoring terminal 11 is located through the information collection component 4 and the controller 5, and can send information through the wireless communicator 6 to facilitate reception and processing by staff.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the two monitoring terminals 11 are located on the same side of the grounding device 2 and are collinear with the grounding device 2. This collinearity between the two monitoring terminals 11 and the grounding device 2 allows for better monitoring of the potential difference of lightning introduced into the ground by the grounding device 2, helping to determine the lightning impact in the area where the monitoring terminals 11 are located.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, collinearity can mean that the center of gravity of the two monitoring terminals 11 and the center of gravity of the grounding device 2 are on the same straight line, or any position on each monitoring terminal 11 and any position on the grounding device 2 are on the same straight line; or the angle between the line connecting any position of the grounding device 2 and any position of the two monitoring terminals 11 is less than 10°.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, multiple monitoring terminals 11 are provided, and the multiple monitoring terminals 11 are arranged on the same side of the grounding device 2, with different distances between each monitoring terminal 11 and the grounding device 2. Multiple monitoring terminals 11 can monitor underground current conditions in more areas and at different distances from the grounding device 2, thereby facilitating guidance on electrical protection work.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the plurality of monitoring terminals 11 refers to at least three monitoring terminals 11 , the number of which may specifically be 3 to 10, and the plurality of monitoring terminals 11 may be spaced apart and distributed in a direction away from the grounding device 2 .

[0041] The distance between two adjacent monitoring terminals 11 can be completely equal, so as to facilitate monitoring the law of lightning transmission underground, and the data can be used to indicate the scenic conditions in the area where the monitoring terminal 11 is located, so as to facilitate the guidance of electrical and electronic protection work; or the distance between two adjacent monitoring terminals 11 can be gradually increased in the direction away from the grounding device 2.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the plurality of monitoring terminals 11 are collinear with the grounding device 2. Collinearity can form a statistical regularity between the spacing and potential difference between the plurality of monitoring terminals 11 and the grounding device 2, facilitating data collection and exploration of regularities.

[0043] In some examples, the collinearity between multiple monitoring terminals 11 and the grounding device 2 can be understood as a connecting line between the grounding device 2 and a certain position on the monitoring terminal 11 farthest from it passing through all the monitoring terminals 11 between the two, thereby achieving the collinearity effect of multiple monitoring terminals 11.

[0044] Alternatively, the maximum angle between a certain point on the grounding device 2 and the multiple monitoring terminals 11 can be made less than 10°, thereby forming a collinear effect. This method can reduce the difficulty of installing the terminal blocks and avoid conflicts with other buildings.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the information monitoring assembly 1 further includes a monitoring body 7, with a monitoring body 7 disposed between every two adjacent monitoring terminals 11. The monitoring body 7 is electrically connected to the two adjacent monitoring bodies 7, and the monitoring body 7 is electrically connected to the information collection assembly 4. The monitoring body 7 can directly convert the potential difference between the two monitoring terminals 11 into current information for transmission, thereby improving the accuracy of the monitoring information.

[0046] In some examples, the monitoring body 7 can be a circuit board that can transmit electrical signals or form a path. In this case, the monitoring body 7 can be installed at a position closer to the monitoring terminal 11, making the line arrangement on the adjacent monitoring terminal 11 more convenient. At the same time, the monitoring body 7 can be set at a position closer to the ground to facilitate the maintenance of the monitoring body 7.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1In some examples, the information monitoring assembly 1 further includes an insulating protective shell 71. The monitoring body 7 is disposed within the soil, and the insulating protective shell 71 is disposed outside the monitoring body 7, completely enclosing the monitoring body 7. The insulating protective shell 71 can protect the monitoring body 7 and prevent ions from affecting the potential difference data on the monitoring body 7.

[0048] In some examples, the insulating protective shell 71 can be a plastic shell or a flexible rubber shell; the insulating protective shell 71 can fit the monitoring body 7 everywhere, or a closed space can be formed inside the insulating protective shell 71 to protect the monitoring body 7 located inside the insulating protective shell 71.

[0049] For example, since two monitoring terminals 11 and an information acquisition component 4 need to be connected to the monitoring body 7, a wire needs to be extended to the monitoring body 7. At this time, the wire and the insulating protective shell 71 can be sealed by a sealing plug or welded by a glue gun to achieve sealed protection for the monitoring body 7.

[0050] In some other examples, the two monitoring terminals 11 are provided on one side of the grounding device 2, and the two monitoring terminals 11 are not collinear with the grounding device 2. The two monitoring terminals 11 and the grounding device 2 are not collinear, which can reduce the difficulty of installing the monitoring terminals 11 and make it easier to bury the monitoring terminals 11.

[0051] Alternatively, the two monitoring terminals 11 can be placed on different sides of the grounding device 2, which can also achieve the effect of lightning monitoring. However, this method greatly increases the difficulty of line installation and is not easy to arrange, so it is usually not adopted.

[0052] Exemplarily, the same side of the grounding device 2 can be understood as the angle between any two monitoring terminals 11 and the connecting lines of the grounding device 2 is less than 90°, or can be less than 30°, so as to reduce the difficulty of installing the monitoring terminals 11 and avoid the impact of the building on the monitoring results.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 In some examples, the real-time monitoring terminal integrated into the lightning protection detection system further includes a battery 8, which is disposed within the information collection box 3. The battery 8 is electrically connected to the controller 5 and the wireless communicator 6. The battery 8 can provide power to the controller 5 and the wireless communicator 6.

[0054] In some examples, the battery 8 may be a lithium battery 8 , or a lead-acid battery 8 , the battery 8 may be a rechargeable battery 8 , or may be a replaceable battery 8 .

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1In some examples, the real-time monitoring terminal integrated into the lightning protection detection system further includes an insulated wire 9, which electrically connects the monitoring terminal 11 and the information collection component 4. The wire can make the electrical signal transmission more accurate.

[0056] In some examples, the insulated wire 9 can be a conventional wire or a wire with a foam protective layer or a plastic protective layer on the outside to further protect the insulated wire 9 and prevent the underground portion of the insulated wire 9 from being corroded.

[0057] In the description of this specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0058] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
