Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lightning rod technology, specifically relating to a clamping type lightning rod for steel structures. Background Technology

[0002] A lightning rod, also known as a lightning protection rod, is a device used to protect buildings from lightning strikes. It consists of a metal rod installed at the top of a tall building and connected to a metal plate buried in the ground by a metal wire. The rod discharges electricity through its tip, drawing the lightning current towards itself and safely discharging it into the ground. This shields the protected object and gradually neutralizes the electricity carried by the clouds and the ground, thus preventing accidents.

[0003] Existing lightning rods are generally installed in a fixed manner, with the bottom welded directly to the base surface. This requires hot work during installation, and since the installation locations of lightning rods are all at high altitudes, the installation process is quite complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art and provide a clamping lightning rod for steel structures.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solution: a clamping lightning rod for steel structures, including a connecting base, the connecting base being U-shaped, the connecting base including two clamping arms, one of the clamping arms being provided with multiple clamping screws, the multiple clamping screws being longitudinally distributed on the clamping arm and all being threadedly connected to the corresponding clamping arm, a mounting plate being fixedly connected to the connecting base, the mounting plate being located on the side of the connecting base away from the slot, a needle body being provided on the mounting plate, two pressure plates being pressed on the needle body, the two pressure plates being connected to the mounting plate, the needle body being pressed onto the mounting plate by the two pressure plates.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting plate has two pairs of connecting ears on its left and right sides, and the connecting ears and both ends of the pressure plate have screw holes with the same structure. The screw holes between the mounting plate and the pressure plate are connected to clamping screws.

[0007] Preferably, a positioning groove is provided in the middle of the pressure plate, and the needle body is placed in the positioning groove of the two pressure plates.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting plate and the connecting base are connected by welding.

[0009] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting a connecting base and clamping screws on the connecting base, since the connecting base is U-shaped, the connecting base can be easily clamped onto the steel column or beam of the steel structure and fixed by clamping screws, without the need for hot work, and can achieve rapid installation; the lightning rod body is installed on the connecting base by pressing it with a pressure plate, which makes it easy to select a suitable lightning rod structure for installation according to different actual installation locations. Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0011] In the diagram: 1. Connecting base; 2. Clamping arm; 3. Clamping screw; 4. Mounting plate; 5. Needle body; 6. Pressure plate; 7. Connecting ear; 8. Screw hole; 9. Clamping screw; 10. Positioning groove. Detailed Implementation

[0012] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0013] Example: A clamping lightning rod for steel structures, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a connecting base 1, which is U-shaped and includes two clamping arms 2. One of the clamping arms 2 is provided with multiple clamping screws 3, which are longitudinally distributed on the clamping arm 2 and are all threadedly connected to the corresponding clamping arm 2. A mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting base 1. The mounting plate 4 is located on the side of the connecting base 1 away from the slot. A needle body 5 is provided on the mounting plate 4, and two pressure plates 6 are pressed on the needle body 5. The two pressure plates 6 are connected to the mounting plate 4, and the needle body 5 is pressed onto the mounting plate 4 by the two pressure plates 6.

[0014] The mounting plate 4 has two pairs of connecting ears 7 on its left and right sides. The connecting ears 7 and the pressure plate 6 have screw holes 8 with the same structure at both ends. The screw holes 8 between the mounting plate 4 and the pressure plate 6 are connected to clamping screws 9.

[0015] The middle part of the pressure plate 6 is provided with a positioning groove 10, and the needle body 5 is placed in the positioning groove 10 of the two pressure plates 6.

[0016] The mounting plate 4 is connected to the connecting base 1 by welding.

[0017] Since the connecting base 1 is U-shaped, it can be easily clipped onto the steel column or beam of the steel structure and fixed by the clamping screws 3. No hot work is required, and quick installation can be achieved. The needle body 5 is installed on the connecting base 1 by pressing it with the pressure plate 6, which makes it easy to select the appropriate lightning rod structure for installation according to different actual installation locations.

[0018] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely representative examples of this utility model. Obviously, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and can have many variations. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
