Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lightning protection equipment technology, and in particular to a lightning protection device for oil tank areas. Background Technology

[0002] Lightning protection refers to a protective technology that prevents damage to buildings or their internal equipment caused by direct lightning strikes or electromagnetic pulses from lightning by forming an integrated system that intercepts, diverts, and finally discharges the lightning to the ground. Depending on the actual thunderstorm conditions in the protected area, lightning arresters need to be placed at different heights to utilize their charge self-dissipation performance. Existing lightning protection devices achieve their effect by installing lightning protection components. Although this method can achieve the desired effect, the installation of these devices is time-consuming and labor-intensive because it requires cement pouring to ensure stability.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document (authorization announcement number CN217239764U), which discloses a dual-flow active lightning protection device for oil depot tank areas. The device includes a lightning arrester with a height-adjustable mounting structure at its bottom. The mounting structure includes a mounting plate with a hollow insert fixedly connected to the center of its base. The insert forms a cavity, and a vertical threaded rod is fixedly connected to the center of the cavity's inner bottom surface. The mounting structure also includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the arrester. The connecting plate is made of flame-retardant and heat-insulating hard plastic, and a vertical lifting rod is rotatably connected to its bottom center via a bearing. While this patent achieves lightning protection, the installation requires cement pouring to ensure stability, making the installation of the lightning protection components time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The proportions of the components in the accompanying drawings are for reference only and can be adjusted to a certain extent according to the actual use.

[0024] Examples, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the side of the surge protection box 1 is equipped with an auxiliary component 4 for heat dissipation of the internal components. The back of the surge protection box 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting box 3, and the top of the mounting box 3 is embedded with a support base 10. The inner side of the support base 10 is fixedly connected to a copper connecting plate 11. The copper connecting plate 11 facilitates conductivity and facilitates the diversion and dissipation of lightning, thereby achieving the effect of lightning protection. The inner side of the support base 10 is equipped with a lightning protection part 8 connected to the connecting plate 11. The lightning protection part 8 is a mature existing technology. For details, please refer to the lightning protection method in the comparative document. The bottom end of the connecting plate 11 is connected to the ground wire through the mounting box 3 and the surge protection box 1 via a connecting wire. The inner side of the mounting box 3 is rotatably connected to a two-section screw 12, and one end of the screw 12 passes through the mounting box 3 and is connected to a detachable adjusting wheel 5. By rotating the adjusting wheel 5, the screw 12 is rotated, thereby causing the two fixing plates 7 to move towards each other, thus fixing the lightning protection part 8. The outer circumference of the screw 12 is threaded with two symmetrical adjusting blocks 9, and one end of the adjusting block 9 located on the outside of the mounting box 3 is fixedly connected to an L-shaped adjusting plate 6. The side of the adjusting plate 6 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 7 with an anti-slip pad. The anti-slip pad design can increase the friction between the fixing plate 7 and the lightning protection part 8, making the fixation more secure.

[0025] The side of the surge protector box 1 is connected to a door 2 with a handle by a hinge. The auxiliary components 4 include multiple cooling fans 42 installed on the side of the surge protector box 1 and multiple dustproof nets 43 installed on the side of the surge protector box 1. The dustproof nets 43 are designed to effectively prevent external dust from entering the surge protector box 1.

[0026] A mounting box 41 is fixedly connected to the side of the surge protector box 1, and a guide rod 48 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the mounting box 41. The guide rod 48 is designed to ensure that two movable blocks 49 can move in a directional manner. Two movable blocks 49 are slidably connected to the outer periphery of the guide rod 48, and a cleaning brush 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block 49 located outside the mounting box 41. A movable rod 47 is hinged to the top of the movable block 49, and a support column 46 is hinged to the end of the movable rod 47 away from the movable block 49. The adjustment process of the support column 46 and the movable rod 47 is slidably connected to the limiting groove located at the top of the mounting box 41. A return spring 50 is installed between the two movable blocks 49. The return spring 50 is designed to drive the cleaning brush 44 to perform a reset process. An adjustment plate 45 is fixedly connected to one end of the support column 46 located outside the mounting box 41.

[0027] The cooling fan 42 is a conventional instrument, and its working principle, size, and model are irrelevant to the function of this application, so they will not be described in detail. It is controlled by a remote control switch. The control method of this utility model is through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail. The scale of the attached drawings is for reference only and can be adjusted to a certain extent according to the actual use.

[0028] Working principle

[0029] During installation, the lightning protection device for the oil tank area is installed by placing the lightning arrester 8 inside the support base 10 and contacting the connecting plate 11. Rotating the adjusting wheel 5 drives the screw 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the two adjusting blocks 9 to move in opposite directions. This movement of the adjusting blocks 9 in turn drives the fixing plate 7 on the side of the adjusting plate 6 to fix the lightning arrester 8. When heat dissipation is required after installation, the cooling fan 42 can be started to dissipate heat. Pressing the adjusting plate 45 drives the movable rod 47 at the bottom of the support column 46 to adjust. The adjustment of the movable rod 47 drives the cleaning brush 44 at the bottom of the movable block 49 to move, thereby cleaning the dust screen 43. When the pressure on the adjusting plate 45 is released, the cleaning brush 44 is reset by the elastic force of the return spring 50.
