Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrostatic discharge devices, and in particular to an electrostatic discharge device that is easy to install on an oil tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the safety management of oil depot tanks, electrostatic discharge devices are crucial equipment for preventing fires or explosions caused by static electricity buildup. Currently, most oil depot tanks commonly use welded electrostatic discharge metal balls on the tank tops, which are fixed to the tank top railings by welding. However, this traditional device has several technical drawbacks in practical applications: First, the purity of the existing metal balls is insufficient, resulting in unstable conductivity and affecting the electrostatic discharge effect; second, the surface of the metal balls is prone to corrosion and rust, which not only reduces the service life of the device but also increases maintenance costs; third, the welding installation process is complex, difficult to construct, and inconvenient for later replacement. These problems seriously affect the safe production and operational efficiency of oil depots, necessitating a new type of electrostatic discharge device to solve these technical challenges.
