Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the lightning protection technical field, and specifically relates to a cage lightning protection device in high mountain area. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of high mountain area, many infrastructures such as radar station, weather station, wind power station, communication tower station, broadcast television transmission station and the like are established successively. However, the high mountain area is also easy to be struck by lightning, which also requires better safety and reliability of the equipment and facilities thereof. The number of lightning strike accidents in some high mountain areas in China is relatively large. Therefore, one of the key conditions for maintaining the safe and stable operation thereof is to do a good job in lightning protection.

[0003] The existing lightning protection mode is generally to install a lightning rod, and the lightning rod is essentially a lightning attraction, which attracts lightning to itself to avoid lightning strike on other objects within the protection range. The working principle of the lightning rod is as follows: in thunderstorm weather, when the charged cloud layer appears above the high building, the lightning rod or the top of the high building is induced with a large amount of electric charge. Since the needle head of the lightning rod is sharp, the conductor tip always gathers the most electric charge when static electricity is induced. In this way, the lightning rod gathers most of the electric charge. The lightning rod forms a capacitor with the charged cloud layer, and since it is sharp, that is, the two polar plates of the capacitor are small in area, the capacitance is small, that is, it can accommodate less electric charge. Since it gathers most of the electric charge, when the cloud layer has more electric charge, the air between the lightning rod and the cloud layer is easy to be punctured, and a path is formed between the charged cloud layer and the lightning rod. Since the lightning rod is grounded, the electric charge of lightning can be guided from above the protected object to the lightning rod and safely discharged into the ground, thereby protecting the safety of high-rise buildings, equipment and facilities.

[0004] In actual use of the lightning rod, only a single lightning rod is usually installed, which causes the lightning protection capacity of the lightning rod in the installation direction to be stronger than that in other directions, which is not suitable for some high mountain areas with high lightning density. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device capable of realizing lightning protection in multiple directions. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

Based on the embodiments in the present solution, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present solution.

[0021] Embodiment 1

[0022] As shown in the figure, the present embodiment designs a cage-shaped lightning arrester in the high mountain area, which comprises an upper lightning ring 4, a lower lightning ring 3 and a plurality of unit lightning rods 1 and other components. Figs. 1-2 The plurality of unit lightning rods 1 are annularly distributed around the periphery of a set area in the high mountain area, the set area is used for installing electronic equipment 2, and the height of the upper end of the electronic equipment 2 is less than the tower tip height of any unit lightning rod 1; the upper lightning ring 4 is electrically connected with the upper part of all lightning rods, and the lower lightning ring 3 is located below the upper lightning ring 4 and is electrically connected with the lower part of all lightning rods.

[0023] The unit lightning rod 1 comprises a lightning receptor 5, a down lead 6 and a grounding body 7; the lightning receptor 5 is fixed on the upper end of the down lead 6 and is electrically connected therewith; the grounding body 7 is buried underground and is electrically connected with the lower end of the down lead 6. Both the lightning receptor 5 and the down lead 6 adopt a rod-shaped or columnar conductor. The grounding body 7 can adopt a conductive wire or a columnar nail inserted into the ground.

[0024]

[0025] ​It should be noted that the specifications of the unit lightning rod 1 meet the GB standards. Specifically, first, the lightning receptor 5 is the highest part of the lightning rod (also known as the lightning-receiving tip) and is specially designed to accept the discharge of lightning clouds. It is generally made of galvanized round steel with a length of 1-2 meters and a diameter of not less than 20 square millimeters, or galvanized steel pipe with a diameter of not less than 25 square millimeters. Second, the down conductor 6 is the connecting line between the lightning receptor 5 and the grounding body 7. The lightning current on the lightning receptor 5 should be safely introduced into the grounding body 7 to discharge into the ground as soon as possible. The down conductor 6 is generally made of galvanized round steel with a diameter of not less than 16 square millimeters or galvanized steel pipe with a cross-sectional area of not less than 25 square millimeters. Third, the grounding body 7 is the underground part of the lightning rod, which functions to directly discharge lightning into the ground. The grounding body 7 should be buried to a depth of not less than 0.6 meters, and the length of the vertical grounding body 7 should be not less than 2.5 meters. It is generally made of galvanized round steel or flat steel, or galvanized steel wire. The size requirements are as follows: round steel diameter ≥ 8 square millimeters; flat steel thickness ≥ 4 square millimeters, cross-sectional area ≥ 48 square millimeters, steel wire cross-sectional area ≥ 25 square millimeters. The grounding resistance of the grounding body 7 must meet the requirements, generally below 4 ohms.

[0026] A support frame 9 is provided on the side of the down conductor 6, and the support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the down conductor 6 through an insulating porcelain bottle 8.

[0027] The outer side of the upper lightning ring 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the down conductor 6. The outer side of the lower lightning ring 3 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the down conductor 6.

[0028] The shape of the upper lightning ring 4 and the lower lightning ring 3 is determined according to the arrangement position of the unit lightning rod 1. The upper lightning ring 4 or the lower lightning ring 3 is in the shape of a circular ring, a rectangular ring, or a polygonal ring structure.

[0029] The distance between any point on the unit lightning rod 1 and the outer wall of the electronic equipment 2 is greater than 0.5 m; the distance between any point on the upper lightning ring 4 and the lower lightning ring 3 and the outer wall of the electronic equipment 2 is also greater than 0.5 m. Thus, the electrical conduction between the lightning rod and the electronic equipment 2 is reduced.

[0030] The above examples are merely for the purpose of clearly illustrating the examples made and are not a limitation on the embodiments; all embodiments need not and cannot be exhaustively enumerated here. The obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present technology.
