A limit component is provided on the side of the fixing frame. This lightning protection device for photovoltaic energy storage base stations utilizes a threaded connection between the lightning rod body and the installation seat, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the lightning rod body and improving convenience. Simultaneously, rotating the adjusting handle drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the limit clamp to hold the lightning rod body, and the clamping clamp engages at the upper end of the lightning rod body, increasing the stability of the lightning rod body installation. Furthermore, the use of a shock absorber enhances the buffering and damping effect, further improving the stability of the lightning rod body.

[0004] The above-mentioned devices only have one lightning rod body, which limits the lightning attraction effect. Furthermore, the lightning attraction range of the lightning rod is limited, and commonly used lightning rods only have one or a few lightning attraction points, thus limiting the lightning attraction effect.

[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 A lightning protection device includes a base 2 with an installation position; a lightning protection assembly mounted on the base 2 for guiding lightning; the lightning protection assembly includes a support plate 21, a main lightning rod 3, and auxiliary lightning rods 31; the support plate 21 is elastically connected to the base 2; the main lightning rod 3 is movably connected to the support plate 21; the auxiliary lightning rods 31 are arrayed on the support plate 21, and each auxiliary lightning rod 31 is flipped and connected to the support plate 21; the internal components are synchronously adjusted through a mechanical structure, reducing manual operation steps and shortening adjustment time; the lightning attraction range of the device is expanded and increased by the multiple sets of auxiliary lightning rods 31 and when the auxiliary lightning rods 31 are flipped outward.

[0030] Each auxiliary lightning rod 31 is rotatably connected to a fixing block 33 at its bottom, and each fixing block 33 is fixedly connected to a support plate 21. A mounting base 4 is provided in the middle of each auxiliary lightning rod 31. A rotating roller 45 is rotatably connected to the middle of the support plate 21. A handle 46 is fixedly connected to the rotating roller 45, and the rotating roller 45 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 4. A movable plate 41 is fixedly connected to the rotating roller 45. Connecting rods 42 are arranged in an array between the movable plate 41 and the mounting base 4. One end of each connecting rod 42 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 41, and the other end of each connecting rod 42 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 41. A sliding rod 43 is connected to the mounting base 4. Each sliding rod 43 is slidably connected to the end of the mounting base 4. Each connecting block 44 is slidably connected to the end of the corresponding auxiliary lightning rod 31. Each auxiliary lightning rod 31 has multiple extension rods 32 at its end, and each extension rod 32 is fixedly connected to the corresponding auxiliary lightning rod 31. When the handle 46 is manually turned, the handle 46 drives the rotating roller 45 to rotate. As the rotating roller 45 rotates, it drives the movable plate 41. As the movable plate 41 rotates, it drives one end of the corresponding connecting rod 42 to move accordingly. One end of component 2 moves, pushing the other end of connecting rod 42 to move. Connecting rod 42 drives sliding rod 43 to slide back and forth on mounting base 4. During its movement, sliding rod 43 drives connecting block 44, which in turn drives corresponding auxiliary lightning rod 31 to move back and forth. Because the bottom end of auxiliary lightning rod 31 is rotatably connected to the bottom of fixed block 33, and connecting block 44 is rotatably connected to sliding rod 43, the auxiliary lightning rod 31 is flipped outwards during the interaction of these components. The flipping motion of multiple auxiliary lightning rods 31 is synchronized, achieving synchronous adjustment of internal components through a mechanical structure, reducing... With fewer manual operation steps and shorter adjustment time, the device expands its lightning attraction range by setting multiple sets of auxiliary lightning rods 31 and flipping them outward. The multiple extension rods 32 on each auxiliary lightning rod 31 further expand the lightning attraction range of a single auxiliary lightning rod 31. The distance between the multiple auxiliary lightning rods 31 and extension rods 32 is close, which creates a branching effect in guiding lightning, distributing the lightning guidance and reducing the amount of lightning carried by a single lightning rod, thus reducing the load on the lightning rod and extending the service life of the device.

[0031] It is worth noting that each main lightning rod 3, auxiliary lightning rod 31, and extension rod 32 is equipped with a guide wire, and the guide wire is connected to the ground. Since the guide wire is an existing mature technology and the installation position of the guide wire is also a publicly available technology, the guide wire part is not disclosed in detail in the article.

[0032] Shock absorbers 22 are arranged in an array between the base 2 and the support plate 21. Each shock absorber 22 is fixedly connected to the corresponding base 2 and support plate 21. Each shock absorber 22 is fitted with a spring 23. One end of each spring 23 is fixedly connected to the base 2, and the other end of each spring 23 is fixedly connected to the support plate 21. When extreme weather or airflow impacts the support plate 21, causing it and its components to shake, the shock absorbers 22, springs 23, and other components work together to buffer the shaking force through the elastic application of the springs 23 and the cooperation of the shock absorbers 22. This provides elastic support to the components inside the lightning protection assembly, reducing damage to the components inside the lightning protection assembly caused by shaking.

[0033] An energy storage base station includes an energy storage base station body 1, a base 2 connected to the energy storage base station body 1 by fasteners, the fasteners including but not limited to bolts, and all of the above-mentioned lightning protection devices are provided on the top of the energy storage base station body 1. The internal components are synchronously adjusted through a mechanical structure, reducing manual operation steps and shortening adjustment time. By setting multiple sets of auxiliary lightning rods 31, when the auxiliary lightning rods 31 are flipped outward, the lightning attraction range of this device is expanded and the lightning attraction range of this device is increased.

[0034] It is worth noting that the main body 1 of the energy storage base station uses the battery box's own load system to automatically start the second equalization, keeping the battery box's power consistent with the entire cluster, reducing the complexity of the on-site energy storage equipment, and eliminating the need for additional equalization circuits. This invention significantly reduces on-site equalization time by performing the equalization strategy in two stages, while also enabling blind insertion when replacing multiple battery boxes simultaneously, avoiding errors during manual on-site operations. This further optimizes the daily maintenance of the energy storage base station, greatly shortens the fault handling time during operation, and improves the operating efficiency of the energy storage base station. The main body 1 of the energy storage base station has already been disclosed in the prior art energy storage base station power equalization method, device, storage medium, and electronic equipment CN116388344B, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0035] Working principle: Manually rotating handle 46 causes rotating roller 45 to rotate. The rotating roller 45 drives movable plate 41, which in turn moves one end of corresponding connecting rod 42. This movement of one end of connecting rod 42 pushes the other end of connecting rod 42 to move. Connecting rod 42 then drives sliding rod 43 to slide back and forth on mounting base 4. The sliding rod 43, in its movement, drives connecting block 44, which in turn drives corresponding auxiliary lightning rod 31 to move back and forth. Because the bottom end of auxiliary lightning rod 31 is rotatably connected to the bottom of fixed block 33, and connecting block 44 is rotatably connected to sliding rod 43, the auxiliary lightning rod 31 is flipped outwards during the interaction of these components. Multiple auxiliary lightning rods... The flipping motion between the lightning rods 31 is synchronized, and the internal components are adjusted synchronously through a mechanical structure, reducing manual operation steps and shortening adjustment time. With multiple sets of auxiliary lightning rods 31, when the auxiliary lightning rods 31 are flipped outward, the lightning attraction range of the device is expanded and increased. Furthermore, the multiple extension rods 32 set on each auxiliary lightning rod 31 further expand the lightning attraction range of a single auxiliary lightning rod 31. The distances between the multiple auxiliary lightning rods 31 and extension rods 32 are close, which generates bifurcation during lightning guidance, distributes the lightning guidance, reduces the lightning load on a single lightning rod, reduces the load on the lightning rod, and extends the service life of the device.
