Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a lightning protection grounding device, in particular to a lightning protection grounding device for a wind turbine generator, belonging to the technical field of wind turbine generators. Background Art
[0002] A wind turbine is an electrical device that converts wind energy into mechanical energy, which in turn drives the rotor to rotate and ultimately outputs alternating current. Lightning protection and grounding systems for wind turbines generally consider two main aspects: the nacelle and the blades. Nacelle lightning protection typically involves installing a lightning rod at the rear end of the nacelle casing, grounded through the steel casing and tower. Blade lightning protection primarily involves installing lightning receptors on both sides of the blade tip. These receptors are connected to a conduction system that directs lightning current through the blades in a controlled manner and into the ground through the hub and tower, thereby protecting the blades. When a lightning rod is directly struck by lightning or exposed to severe weather conditions (such as strong winds, heavy rain, ice and snow) for an extended period, it may be subject to mechanical shock or corrosion, affecting its structural integrity.
[0003] A lightning protection grounding device for a wind turbine generator with Chinese patent publication number CN215771906U effectively prevents high electricity from being transferred from the bottom of the lightning rod body to the generator bracket, thus achieving better protection effect. However, when replacing a damaged lightning rod, the entire lightning protection mechanism needs to be replaced, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also causes a certain degree of waste. In addition, the lightning protection mechanism of the application is inconvenient to install and disassemble, making it inconvenient for operators to use.
