Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lightning protection technology, and in particular to a novel lightning suppression device. Background Technology

[0002] Lightning is a discharge phenomenon between thunderclouds carrying opposite charges or between a charged thundercloud and the ground, which can cause severe damage to buildings and their internal equipment. Traditional direct lightning protection uses lightning rods, down conductors, and grounding devices to guide the lightning into the ground. However, the hazards caused by backflashover, step voltage, contact voltage, and lightning electromagnetic pulses still exist. In particular, the surge released during lightning strikes can damage electronic equipment inside buildings.

[0003] Currently, non-"lightning-to-ground" lightning protection technologies are constantly developing. These devices achieve protection against direct lightning strikes by ionizing the air. Utilizing the atmospheric electric field and the induced electromotive force of thunderclouds, they attract opposite charges from the bottom of the thundercloud and the ground to an ion-generating unit, ionizing air molecules and generating a large number of positively and negatively charged ions. Following the principle of opposite charges attracting, these charged ions move towards the charge accumulation areas at the bottom of the thundercloud and on the ground, neutralizing them and returning to air molecules. This significantly reduces the electric field strength within the protected area, blocks the lightning leader's conduction, and suppresses direct lightning strikes. However, further research is needed to improve the efficiency of air ionization to more effectively suppress direct lightning strikes within the protected area. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is the impact of air ionization efficiency on the occurrence of direct lightning strikes within the protected area.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel lightning suppression device, comprising a focusing needle, a guiding rod, an equipotential sphere, an insulating connector, and a base. One end of the guiding rod is fixedly connected to several focusing needles, and the other end of the guiding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the equipotential sphere. The bottom of the equipotential sphere is fixedly connected to one end of the insulating connector, and the other end of the insulating connector is fixedly connected to the base. The equipotential sphere and the base form a first ionization space and a second ionization space respectively through the insulating connector.

[0006] Preferably, the equipotential sphere comprises a hemispherical body and a cylindrical sleeve, the hemispherical body and the cylindrical sleeve being integrally formed, and the hemispherical body being fixedly connected to one end of an insulating connector.

[0007] Preferably, the base includes a connecting column, a serrated body, and a chassis. The connecting column is provided at the top of the base, and the chassis is provided at the bottom of the base. The serrated body is provided between the connecting column and the chassis. The connecting column is fixedly connected to the other end of the insulating connector.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the insulating connector has a plurality of first mounting holes, and the bottom of the hemispherical solid has a plurality of second mounting holes. The number, size and position of the first mounting holes and the second mounting holes correspond to each other, and the first mounting holes are fixedly connected to the second mounting holes by first screws.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the insulating connector is provided with a plurality of third mounting holes, and the connecting post is provided with a fourth mounting hole. The number, size and position of the third mounting holes and the fourth mounting holes are corresponding. The third mounting holes are fixedly connected to the fourth mounting holes by a second screw.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of guide holes are evenly distributed on the center and periphery of the surface of the hemispherical entity, and the guide holes are fixedly connected to the guide rod.

[0011] Preferably, the guide rod is fitted with a focusing needle via a connecting body, the connecting body has a plurality of connecting holes, the focusing needle has a screw post, and the screw post is fixedly connected to the connecting holes by a back-tightening nut.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by forming a double ionization space through the insulating connection between the equipotential sphere and the base, the electric field distribution is changed, which can significantly improve the efficiency of air ionization, generate more charged ions, and more effectively suppress direct lightning strikes in the protected area. It has high reliability and broad application prospects. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-8 This utility model provides an embodiment: a novel lightning suppression device, comprising a focusing needle 1, a guiding rod 2, an equipotential sphere 3, an insulating connector 4, and a base 5. One end of the guiding rod 2 is fixedly connected to several focusing needles 1, and the other end of the guiding rod 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the equipotential sphere 3. The bottom of the equipotential sphere 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the insulating connector 4, and the other end of the insulating connector 4 is fixedly connected to the base 5. The equipotential sphere 3 and the base 5 form a first ionization space 6 and a second ionization space 7 respectively through the insulating connector 4.

[0024] The equipotential sphere 3 includes a hemispherical body 31 and a cylindrical sleeve 32. The hemispherical body 31 and the cylindrical sleeve 32 are integrally formed, and the hemispherical body 31 is fixedly connected to one end of the insulating connector 4.

[0025] The base 5 includes a connecting post 51, a serrated body 52 and a base 53. The connecting post 51 is provided on the top of the base 5, and the base 53 is provided on the bottom of the base 5. The serrated body 52 is provided between the connecting post 51 and the base 53. The connecting post 51 is fixedly connected to the other end of the insulating connector 4.

[0026] In this embodiment, the charge at the bottom of the thundercloud is drawn to the equipotential sphere 3 by the focusing needle 1 and the guiding rod 2. The equipotential sphere 3 and the base 5 are connected by an insulating connector 4. When in use, the base 5 is connected to the ground wire. Due to the potential difference between the cylindrical sleeve 32 at the bottom of the hemisphere 31 and the base 5, an ionization space is formed. The cylindrical sleeve 32 is the upper electrode and the base 5 is the lower electrode, so that the cylindrical sleeve 32 and the connecting column 51 form a first ionization space 6, and the cylindrical sleeve 32 and the sawtooth body 52 form a second ionization space 7, thus forming a dual-space ionization device.

[0027] The top of the insulating connector 4 is provided with a number of first mounting holes 41, and the bottom of the hemispherical body 31 is provided with a number of second mounting holes 33. The number, size and position of the first mounting holes 41 and the second mounting holes 33 are corresponding. The first mounting holes 41 are fixedly connected to the second mounting holes 33 by the first screws 43 to enhance the fixing effect between the insulating connector 4 and the hemispherical body 31.

[0028] The bottom of the insulating connector 4 is provided with several third mounting holes 42, and the connecting post 51 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 54. The number, size and position of the third mounting holes 42 and the fourth mounting holes 54 are corresponding. The third mounting holes 42 are fixedly connected to the fourth mounting holes 54 by the second screws 44 to enhance the fixing effect between the insulating connector 4 and the connecting post 51.

[0029] In this embodiment, firstly, the fourth mounting hole 54 of the connecting post 51 is inserted into one end of the second screw 44, and the other end of the second screw 44 is inserted into the bottom of the insulating connector 4. The insulating connector 4 and the connecting post 51 are fixedly installed by tightening the second screw 44. Then, the top of the insulating connector 4 is inserted into one end of the first screw 43, and the other end of the first screw 43 is inserted into the bottom of the hemispherical body 31. The insulating connector 4 and the hemispherical body 31 are fixedly installed by tightening the first screw 43.

[0030] Multiple guide holes 34 are evenly distributed on the center and periphery of the surface of the hemispherical solid 31, and the guide holes 34 are fixedly connected to the guide rod 2.

[0031] The guide rod 2 is installed with the focusing needle 1 through the connector 8. The connector 8 has several connecting holes 81. The focusing needle 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting holes 81 through the back tightening nut 12 and the screw post 11. Under the electric field of the thundercloud, the focusing needle 1 ionizes the air to generate space charge. The charge will be guided upward by the electric field force. The electric field generated by the focusing needle 1 and the ionized charge will affect the electric field distribution between the thundercloud and the ground, interfere with the normal downward leader development path of the lightning, and make it avoid the protected area as much as possible.

[0032] In this embodiment, the focusing needle 1 is fixedly installed on the top of the guide rod 2 by the back tightening nut 12 and the screw post 11. Then, the bottom of the guide rod 2 is fixedly installed on the middle and periphery of the surface of the hemispherical entity 31 by the guide hole 34.

[0033] Working principle: First, insert one end of the second screw 44 into the fourth mounting hole 54 of the connecting post 51, and insert the other end of the second screw 44 into the bottom of the insulating connector 4. Fix the insulating connector 4 and the connecting post 51 by tightening the second screw 44. Then, insert one end of the first screw 43 into the top of the insulating connector 4, and insert the other end of the first screw 43 into the bottom of the hemispherical body 31. Fix the insulating connector 4 and the hemispherical body 31 by tightening the first screw 43. Next, fix the focusing needle 1 to the top of the guide rod 2 by tightening the nut 12 and the screw post 11. After that, fix the bottom of the guide rod 2 to the middle and periphery of the surface of the hemispherical body 31 by the guide hole 34.

[0034] The charge at the bottom of the thundercloud is drawn to the equipotential sphere 3 by the focusing needle 1 and the guiding rod 2. When in use, the base 5 is connected to the ground wire. Due to the potential difference between the cylindrical sleeve 32 at the bottom of the hemisphere 31 and the base 5, an ionization space is formed. The cylindrical sleeve 32 is the upper electrode and the base 5 is the lower electrode, so that the cylindrical sleeve 32 and the connecting column 51 form a first ionization space 6, and the cylindrical sleeve 32 and the sawtooth body 52 form a second ionization space 7, thus forming a dual-space ionization device.
