[0002] In power systems, the lightning protection grounding devices of power poles are an important component in ensuring the safe operation of transmission lines.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional lightning protection grounding devices typically use simple vertical or horizontal grounding electrodes, which have limited contact area with the soil, resulting in high grounding resistance. This affects the rapid discharge of lightning current and increases the risk of lightning strike accidents.

[0004] In addition, existing grounding down conductors and grounding bodies are mostly connected by bolts. This connection structure is prone to loosening or even falling off due to vibration, corrosion or external force during long-term operation, which can lead to grounding failure and seriously threaten the stability and safety of the power system.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a lightning protection grounding device for towers. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] This embodiment is a lightning protection grounding device for power poles and towers.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a connecting block 1, a grounding rod 2 fixedly installed on the lower outer surface of the connecting block 1, a spiral metal conductor 3 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the grounding rod 2, an installation hole 6 opened on the upper part of one side of the outer surface of the connecting block 1, a grounding lead 4 passing through the installation hole 6, a limiting component 5 installed in the connecting block 1, the limiting component 5 including a second limiting hole 8, a third limiting hole 9, an installation cavity 10, a compression spring 11, a limiting block 12 and a limiting pin 13, the second limiting hole 8 is opened in the middle of the upper outer surface of the connecting block 1, the third limiting hole 9 is opened at the lower end of the installation hole 6, and a first limiting hole 7 is opened at the lower end of the grounding lead 4.

[0027] The connecting block 1, grounding rod 2, spiral metal conductor 3, and grounding lead 4 are all made of conductive materials; the lower end of the grounding lead 4 is interference-fitted with the mounting hole 6; the lower end of the second limiting hole 8 is connected to the upper part of the mounting hole 6; the mounting cavity 10 is opened inside the lower end of the connecting block 1; the lower end of the third limiting hole 9 is connected to the middle part of the upper end of the mounting cavity 10; the compression spring 11 and the limiting block 12 are both located in the mounting cavity 10; the compression spring 11 is fixed between the bottom of the mounting cavity 10 and the lower outer surface of the limiting block 12; the limiting pin 13 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the upper outer surface of the limiting block 12; the outer wall of the limiting pin 13 is slidably connected to the second limiting hole 8 and the third limiting hole 9; the outer wall of the limiting block 12 is slidably connected to the mounting cavity 10; the lower outer surface of the limiting block 12 is elastically connected to the bottom of the mounting cavity 10 through the compression spring 11; the outer wall of the limiting pin 13 is inserted into the first limiting hole 7.

[0028] It should be noted that this utility model is a lightning protection grounding device for towers. When connecting the grounding down conductor 4 and the connecting block 1, the lower end of the grounding down conductor 4 is inserted into the mounting hole 6 with an interference fit. When one end of the grounding down conductor 4 is blocked by the limiting pin 13, the limiting pin 13 is pressed by a screwdriver or other structure. The limiting pin 13 descends along the second limiting hole 8 and the third limiting hole 9, so that the upper end of the limiting pin 13 enters the third limiting hole 9. The limiting pin 13 drives the limiting block 12 to compress the spring 1 in the mounting cavity 10. 1. Press down and then continue inserting the grounding down conductor 4, with the lower end of the grounding down conductor 4 passing through the mounting hole 6. When the first limiting hole 7 reaches the lower end of the first limiting hole 7, the reaction force of the compression spring 11 drives the limiting pin 13 to pass through the first limiting hole 7. The limiting pin 13 can improve the stability of the grounding down conductor 4 after installation and prevent it from loosening or falling off. The grounding rod 2 and the spiral metal conductor 3 are set up. The spiral structure increases the contact area between the grounding body and the soil and reduces the grounding resistance.
