Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] Reference Figs. 1 to 4A combined gapped surge arrester includes a surge arrester body 10, a drain wire 2, a drain wire clamp 3, an upper electrode 4, a lower electrode 5, a discharge rod 6, a trigger 7, and several resistor plates 8. The drain wire 2 connects the surge arrester body 10 and the drain wire clamp 3. The upper electrode 4 and the lower electrode 5 are respectively disposed inside the surge arrester body 10. The surge arrester also includes a porcelain insulator 9 and several corrugated plates 11. The porcelain insulator 9 is provided with a first screw 901. The porcelain insulator 9 is detachably disposed on the surge arrester body 10. The drain wire 2 connects the drain wire clamp 3 and the porcelain insulator 9. The discharge rod 6 and the trigger 7 are spaced apart on the porcelain insulator 9. Several resistor plates 8 and several corrugated plates 11 are spaced apart inside the surge arrester body 10 and between the upper electrode 4 and the lower electrode 5. In this invention, a discharge rod 6 and a trigger 7 are provided on the porcelain insulator 9, forming a discharge gap between them. The porcelain insulator 9 is connected to the surge arrester body 10 at its bottom via a first screw 901. The discharge rod 6 and the trigger 7 are connected in series with the surge arrester body 10. If the discharge gap is short-circuited, the surge arrester body 10 is in a high-resistance state and will not be grounded. If the surge arrester body 10 is damaged and short-circuited, the discharge gap isolates the voltage, ensuring the normal operation of the line. The discharge gap and the surge arrester body 10 provide a double guarantee for the normal operation of the line. This surge arrester has a line lightning protection function. The porcelain insulator 9 cannot be broken down by discharge and can also protect the surge arrester body 10. Furthermore, the corrugated sheet 11 between the resistor pieces 8 can improve the electrical performance. Specifically, one end of the first screw 901 is in contact with the upper electrode 4; threaded holes are provided at the upper and lower ends of the surge arrester body 10 and the top of the insulator 9; one end of the drain wire 2 is connected to the threaded hole at the top of the porcelain insulator 9; one end of the first screw 901 is connected to the threaded hole at the upper end of the surge arrester body 10; the threaded hole at the lower end of the surge arrester body 10 is connected to the fitting, and the fitting is in contact with the lower electrode 5.
[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features:
[0018] In this embodiment, the corrugated sheet 11 is a brazed aluminum alloy corrugated sheet, which has good electrical conductivity.
[0019] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the porcelain insulator 9 is larger than the top surface of the surge arrester body 10 to prevent rainwater from flowing into the threaded hole at the upper end of the surge arrester body 10.
[0020] In this embodiment, the drain wire clamp 3 includes a clamp outer frame 31, a pressure block 32, a second screw 33, a spring 34, and a wiring screw 35. The pressure block 32 is rotatably disposed at one end of the second screw 33. The pressure block 32 has a protrusion, which is slidably connected to the clamp outer frame 31. The second screw 33 and the wiring screw 35 are both screwed to the clamp outer frame 31. The spring 34 is sleeved on the second screw 33. One end of the wiring screw 35 passes through one end of the drain wire 2 and connects to the clamp outer frame 31 to fix one end of the drain wire 2 to the clamp outer frame 31. By rotating the second screw 33, the pressure block 32 is driven to move upward, fixing the wire between the clamp outer frame 31 and the pressure block 32. Specifically, the pressure block 32 is provided with a slot; the side wall of the wire clamp frame 31 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the protrusion, and the bottom of the second screw 33 can also be hooked by the insulated operating rod to drive it to rotate, so that it can be operated on the ground; the spring 34 can ensure that the force is evenly distributed at both ends and prevent the high voltage line from loosening.
