Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lightning rod technology, and in particular to a pre-discharge type lightning rod. Background Technology

[0002] A lightning rod, also known as a lightning arrestor or lightning rod, is a device used to protect buildings, tall trees, and other structures from lightning strikes. A lightning arrester is installed at the top of the protected object and connected to an underground grounding network using a compliant conductor.

[0003] Existing lightning rods cannot reduce the amplitude of lightning current, cannot prevent double action, and lack the properties of accurate lightning strike, safety, reliability, non-radioactivity, and corrosion resistance. They also cannot achieve the function of pre-discharge. Furthermore, existing lightning rods are not easy to disassemble, making it difficult to replace the rod tip. Replacing the entire lightning rod after the rod tip is damaged is costly. In addition, the effective range of lightning rods is limited, resulting in low safety. They are also difficult to install and fix. Utility Model Content

Replacing the entire lightning rod after the needle head is damaged is costly. In addition, the effective range of the lightning rod is limited, resulting in low safety.
