Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1-3In this embodiment, a floating roof lightning current shunt includes a fixed plate 1, and an automatic adjustment mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 1. The automatic adjustment mechanism 2 includes a first mounting block 201, the first mounting block 201 is connected to one side of the fixed plate 1, one side of the first mounting block 201 is connected to a rotating shaft 202, one side of the rotating shaft 202 is connected to a roller 203, one side of the rotating shaft 202 and the fixed plate 1 are both connected to a second mounting block 204, one side of the second mounting block 204 is connected to a rotating block 205, one side of the rotating block 205 is connected to a spring 206, one side of the rotating block 205 is connected to a telescopic rod 207, one side of the fixed plate 1 is connected to a limiting block 208, and one side of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a diverter plate 3.
[0021] In the case implementation, the automatic adjustment mechanism 2 is located on the side of the fixed plate 1 close to the diverter plate 3, and the automatic adjustment mechanism 2 is located at the upper end of the fixed plate 1. The angle between the diverter plate 3 and the fixed plate 1 can be adjusted through the automatic adjustment mechanism 2, thereby preventing the electrical connection from being unstable due to reasons such as deformation of the pressing plate and lack of contact, and micro-deformation of the tank wall and the floating plate and lack of contact.
[0022] In the case implementation, one end of the rotating shaft 202 is rotatably connected to the first mounting block 201, and the other end of the rotating shaft 202 is rotatably connected to the roller 203. There are two first mounting blocks 201 and two rotating shafts 202. The roller 203 is located between the two rotating shafts 202, and the roller 203 is in contact with the diverter plate 3. The second mounting block 204 is located on the side where the rotating shaft 202 and the fixed plate 1 are close to each other. There are two rotating blocks 205, and the two rotating blocks 205 are rotatably connected to the two second mounting blocks 204 respectively. The two ends of the spring 206 are respectively connected to the two rotating blocks 205, and the two ends of the telescopic rod 207 are respectively connected to the two rotating blocks 205. The spring 206 is sleeved on the telescopic rod 207. The spring 206 can make the roller 203 always in contact with the diverter plate 3. The telescopic rod 207 extends or shortens with the spring 206, and the telescopic rod 207 can prevent the spring 206 from twisting.
[0023] In the case implementation, the limit block 208 is located above the first mounting block 201. The limit block 208 can prevent the rotating shaft 202 from rotating above the first mounting block 201, thereby preventing the roller 203 from losing its resistance to the diverter plate 3.
[0024] During implementation, follow these steps:
[0025] 1) First connect the splitter to the external floating roof tank;
[0026] 2) The spring 206 is then used to keep the roller 203 in contact with the diverter plate 3;
[0027] 3) The diverter plate 3 can then always abut against the external floating roof tank.
[0028] In summary, the floating roof lightning current shunt can ensure that the roller 203 is always in contact with the diverter plate 3 through the spring 206, and the telescopic rod 207 can extend or shorten with the spring 206.

[0029] Furthermore, the limiting block 208 can prevent the rotating shaft 202 from rotating above the first mounting block 201 , thereby preventing the roller 203 from losing its resistance to the diverter plate 3 , thereby achieving the advantage of stable electrical connection.
