Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grounding pile technology, specifically to a foldable quick grounding pile. Background Technology

[0002] A grounding stake is a conductive grounding device. Before some equipment is powered on, the grounding stake must be reliably grounded and connected to the equipment through a grounding wire. This allows the current generated in the equipment to be introduced into the ground, thereby protecting the safety of the equipment and operators, reducing electromagnetic interference, and preventing the effects of factors such as lightning strikes.

[0003] The grounding stakes currently used, such as the patent application "A Grounding Stake for Power Engineering" (CN118554189A) and the patent application "A Grounding Stake for Easy Assembly" (CN221041570U), both use a cylindrical metal rod with one end forming a pointed cone. When reliably grounding the grounding stake, one person needs to hold the middle of the cylindrical grounding stake and stand it upright with the pointed end facing down, while another person holds a sledgehammer and repeatedly strikes the upper surface of the cylindrical grounding stake to drive it into the ground. The grounding stake has two drawbacks in use: 1) To make it easier for the grounding stake to be driven into the ground, the diameter of the cylindrical metal rod is generally small, usually 15-30cm, and the upper surface area is very small. This makes it difficult for the sledgehammer to accurately strike the upper surface of the grounding stake, which can easily result in the sledgehammer hitting the wrong spot or even hitting the operator holding the grounding stake, causing injury. This is very dangerous for novice operators and affects the training effect; 2) The grounding process requires two people to operate, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming, which is inconsistent with the current equipment requirements of being able to quickly and efficiently enter the working state. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable quick grounding stake, which can enable one person to complete the stable and reliable grounding of the grounding stake, reduce safety hazards and improve work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A foldable quick grounding stake includes a stake body 1, the upper end of the stake body 1 is connected to a striking panel 2, an upper positioning ring 4 is connected to the upper middle part of the stake body 1, a lower positioning ring 5 is connected to the lower middle part of the stake body 1, and a foldable support frame 3 is installed on the outside of the stake body 1 between the upper positioning ring 4 and the lower positioning ring 5. The foldable support frame 3 slides on the outer surface of the stake body 1.

[0007] The pile body 1 is a cylindrical metal rod with a pointed cone at the bottom. The top of the pile body 1 is provided with a rectangular groove 6. The upper side of the pile body 1 is connected to a fixing rib plate 7, and the fixing rib plate 7 is provided with a through hole. A wiring cap 8 is connected and fixed to the lower side of the opposite side of the pile body 1 and the fixing rib plate 7.

[0008] The striking panel 2 is a metal plate, and the bottom surface of the striking panel 2 is connected to a T-shaped fixing rib 9, which has through holes.

[0009] The folding support frame 3 includes a circular metal plate 10 with a through hole in the center, which is clearance-fitted with the outer surface of the cylindrical metal rod of the pile body 1; the outer ring side of the circular metal plate 10 is evenly provided with two or more slots, and each slot is equipped with a support rod 11 through a rotating shaft, and the support rod 11 can rotate within an acute angle range.

[0010] The lower end of the support rod 11 is fitted with a plastic foot 12.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] Because this utility model is equipped with a folding support frame 3, the folding support frame 3 automatically slides down on the surface of the cylindrical metal rod of the pile body, and is reliably supported by its support rod 11 to the ground, so that the pile body can stand vertically and no longer needs to be manually supported by a person.

[0013] Because this utility model is equipped with a striking panel 2, when in use, the pile body 1 is erected with the pointed cone facing down to contact the ground. At this time, by rotating the striking panel 2, the T-shaped fixing rib plate 9 is rotated to the rectangular groove 6 at the top of the pile body. At this time, the upper surface of the striking panel 2 is parallel to the top surface of the pile body 1. When the grounding pile is struck with a sledgehammer, the surface of the striking panel 2 can be struck directly, which increases the contact area between the hammer head and the grounding pile, thereby reliably driving the grounding pile into the ground.

[0014] Compared to existing grounding stakes, this invention can be operated by only one person, saving manpower, and is simple, safe, and reliable, thus improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 A foldable quick grounding stake includes a stake body 1, a striking panel 2, a foldable support frame 3, a positioning ring 4, and a positioning ring 5. The upper end of the stake body 1 is connected to the striking panel 2 by bolts. An upper positioning ring 4 is welded to the upper middle part of the stake body 1, and a lower positioning ring 5 is welded to the lower middle part of the stake body 1. The foldable support frame 3 is installed on the outside of the stake body 1 between the upper positioning ring 4 and the lower positioning ring 5, and the foldable support frame 3 slides on the outer surface of the stake body 1.

[0021] Reference Figure 2 The pile body 1 is a cylindrical metal rod with a pointed cone at the bottom. The top of the pile body 1 is provided with a rectangular groove 6. A fixing rib plate 7 is welded to the upper side of the pile body 1. The fixing rib plate 7 is provided with a through hole for connecting to the hammering panel 2 by bolts. A terminal cap 8 is welded to the lower side of the pile body 1 and the fixing rib plate 7 for connecting the grounding wire.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 The striking panel 2 is a metal plate with a side length of 10cm and a thickness of 5cm. A T-shaped fixing rib 9 is welded to the bottom surface of the striking panel 2. The T-shaped fixing rib 9 has through holes for connecting with the rib 7 by bolts.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 The folding support frame 3 includes a circular metal plate 10 with a through hole in the center, which is clearance-fitted with the outer surface of the cylindrical metal rod of the pile body 1. The outer ring side of the circular metal plate 10 is evenly provided with three slots, and a support rod 11 is installed in each slot through a rotating shaft. The support rod 11 can rotate within an acute angle range, and a plastic foot 12 is installed at the lower end of the support rod 11.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] When in use, the pile body 1 is erected with the pointed cone facing down to contact the ground. At this time, the folding support frame 3 automatically slides down the surface of the cylindrical metal rod of the pile body 1 and is reliably supported by the support rod 11, so that the pile body 1 can stand upright without the need for a special person to hold the pile body 1. By rotating the striking panel 2, its T-shaped fixing rib 9 is rotated to the rectangular groove 6 at the top of the pile body 1. At this time, the upper surface of the striking panel 2 is parallel to the top surface of the pile body 1. When the grounding pile is struck with a sledgehammer, the surface of the striking panel 2 can be struck directly, which increases the contact area between the hammer head and the grounding pile, thereby reliably driving the grounding pile into the ground.
