[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.
[0020] This application discloses a lightning protection roof. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lightning protection roof includes a roof truss 1 erected on the roof, a roof 2 mounted on the roof truss 1, and a sloping roof 2. A lightning protection strip 4 is installed on the ridge 3 of the roof 2. The lightning protection strip 4 is long and parallel to the length of the ridge 3. It also includes a grounding steel bar. One end of the grounding steel bar is electrically connected to the lightning protection strip 4, and the other end is grounded. The lightning protection strip 4 is set along the length of the ridge 3, which increases the contact area between the lightning protection strip 4 and lightning, thereby improving the success rate of lightning protection. Under the action of the lightning protection strip 4, it is convenient for lightning to be transmitted to the ground through multiple paths after contact with the grounding steel bar.
[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the lightning protection strip 4 is made of bent conductive metal and is bent into a gate shape and installed on the roof ridge 3. The lightning protection strip 4 is installed in a gate shape on the roof ridge 3, which shields the roof ridge 3, improves the waterproof effect of the roof ridge 3, and reduces the possibility of rainwater seeping through the roof ridge 3. Furthermore, the lightning protection strip 4 is gate-shaped, which has a more regular shape and improves its aesthetics. And because it is made of bent conductive metal, the conductive metal has a good conductivity, which facilitates lightning protection operations.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the roof truss 1 is made of conductive metal rectangular tube, the roof 2 is a metal roof 2, the roof 2 is fixedly installed on the roof truss 1, the lightning protection strip 4 is welded to the metal roof 2, one end of the grounding steel bar is connected to the roof truss 1, and the other end is grounded; after the lightning protection strip 4 is connected to the lightning, part of the current is transmitted through the roof 2 to the roof truss 1, and then to the grounding steel bar, thereby increasing the current transmission path and improving the lightning protection effect.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the application, a pre-embedded steel plate 5 is embedded in the beams, columns or slabs of the main building. The roof truss 1 is fixedly installed on the main building through the pre-embedded steel plate 5. The pre-embedded steel plate 5 is fixedly connected to the grounding steel bar so that the grounding steel bar is grounded. Under the action of the pre-embedded steel plate 5, it is convenient to erect the roof truss 1 and to connect the roof truss 1 with the grounding steel bar.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the application, it also includes an eaves gutter 6 and a drainage pipe 7 installed at the eaves of the main building. The eaves gutter 6 is made of conductive metal and welded to the roof 2. The drainage pipe 7 is a metal pipe and is connected to the eaves gutter 6. The drainage pipe 7 is welded to the eaves gutter 6. When the eaves gutter 6 plays the role of collecting rainwater, it is discharged through the drainage pipe 7. On the other hand, the eaves gutter 6 and the drainage pipe 7 play another role in receiving lightning and transmitting it underground, thereby improving the lightning protection effect.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the application, a gable end cap 8 is also included. The gable end cap 8 is made of conductive metal and is used to fit onto the eaves of the main body of the building and is welded to the eaves gutter 6. Under the action of the gable end cap 8, it plays a decorative role at the bend of the eaves and at the same time plays a lightning protection role, thereby improving the lightning protection effect of the building.
[0026] In this embodiment, the diameter of the grounding steel bar is greater than 16mm, and 16mm is preferred in this application. This reduces the cost while meeting the lightning protection requirements.
[0027] In the embodiments of this application, the thickness of the lightning protection strip 4 is greater than or equal to 2mm, and 2mm is preferred in this application.
[0028] In the embodiments of this application, the thickness of the conductive metal rectangular tube is greater than or equal to 3 mm, preferably 3 mm.
[0029] The implementation principle of a lightning protection roof according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0030] The lightning protection strip 4 replaces the traditional lightning rod, improving the aesthetics of a single lightning rod. Furthermore, the lightning protection strip 4 is installed along the length of the roof ridge 3, increasing the contact area between the strip and lightning, thus improving the success rate of lightning protection. Under the action of the lightning protection strip 4, lightning can be transmitted to the ground through multiple paths via the grounding steel bars after contact. Moreover, the roof ridge 3, lightning protection strip 4, roof truss 1, roof 2, eaves gutters 6, and gable end caps 8 together form a lightning protection belt, increasing the lightning protection path and improving the building's lightning protection capability.
[0031] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
