Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building lightning protection system technology, and in particular to a lightning protection bracket for sloping roofs. Background Technology

[0002] In existing lightning protection system installation processes, fixing lightning arrester clips requires damaging the roof ridge. Commonly, this involves drilling holes in the ridge tiles and installing reinforcing bars. This process damages the roof structure and can result in irreparable or inadequate repairs to the ridge tiles. For example, drilling increases the risk of rainwater leakage. Furthermore, it is more time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring careful backfilling of the drilling sites to prevent further damage. In addition, traditional installation methods are overly complex and have low fixing strength, leading to increased labor requirements and thus higher overall construction costs. Therefore, the problems with existing technology have created a need for lightning arrester clip fasteners that can simplify the installation process, reduce drilling losses, increase fixing strength, and shorten construction time and labor costs.

[0024] Unless otherwise expressly stated, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprising" or its variations such as "including" or "comprises", "made for", etc., shall be understood to include the stated elements or components, without excluding other elements or other components.

[0025] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lightning protection bracket for sloping roofs, which simplifies the installation process of lightning protection cards, reduces drilling losses, shortens the construction period and labor costs, and increases the fixing strength of lightning protection cards.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] This embodiment provides a lightning protection bracket for a pitched roof, which is connected to roof tiles 4. It includes: a base component 1, which is a spliced ​​structure and is used to fix the lightning protection bracket; a connector 2, the bottom of which is connected to the top of the base component 1, and the top of the connector 2 has a semi-open space 21; and a lightning protection component 3, which passes through one or more of the semi-open spaces 21 of the connector 2 and is used to protect against lightning strikes.

[0028] Specifically, to simplify the installation process of the lightning protection bracket and increase its fixing strength, this embodiment uses a base component 1, a connector 2, and a lightning protection component 3 connected together to form the aforementioned pitched roof lightning protection bracket. While increasing multiple functions, it ensures a simple and easy-to-install structure. The base component 1 is fixed to the connector 2, and the roof tiles 4 are fixedly connected through the base component 1, achieving overall fixation of the connector 2. The semi-open space 21 at the top of the connector 2 can accommodate the lightning protection component 3 passing through. Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the lightning protection device 3 achieves coverage of the lightning protection range by being deployed over a long distance and over a wide area.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment of this example, the base component 1 includes a first main body 11, a first splicing body 12 and a second splicing body 13. The bottom of the first main body 11 and the top of the first splicing body 12 are integrally formed, and the second splicing body 13 is movably connected to the first splicing body 12.

[0030] Specifically, the fixing strength of the lightning protection card is improved by splicing the first splice body 12 and the second splice body 13.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the bottom shape and size of the first splicing body 12 and the second splicing body 13 are set to match the shape and size of the outer surface of the roof tile 4.

[0032] Specifically, in the phrase "the bottom shape and size of the first splicing body 12 and the second splicing body 13 are set to match the shape and size of the outer surface of the roof tile 4," "match" refers to a design where the bottom shape of the first splicing body 12 and the second splicing body 13 is similar to the shape of the outer surface of the roof tile 4, but a certain gap is retained after fitting. This is because there is a risk of detachment when strong winds blow through this technology. Due to the septum effect, the wind speed increases as it passes through the gap at the joint. Influenced by Bernoulli's principle, the base component 1 experiences downward wind pressure, thus increasing surface pressure, improving the coefficient of friction, and making the structure more stable.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the base component 1 further includes a fixing hook 14, which is disposed at the bottom of the first splicing body 12 and / or the second splicing body 13, and the fixing hook 14 is movably hooked onto both sides of the roof tile 4.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the fixing hook 14 is set inward at the bottom of the first splice body 12 and the second splice body 13, and its function is to hook with the roof tile 4 to achieve a tighter fixation.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the first splicing body 12 and the second splicing body 13 are multi-bend structures made of flat steel strips.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the base component 1 further includes a fastening screw 15. The connection positions of the first splicing body 12 and the second splicing body 13 are provided with screw holes, and the fastening screw 15 is movably disposed through the screw holes.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this example, the connector 2 includes a second body 22 and a fixed gripper 23. The second body 22 is a flat strip structure. The bottom of the second body 22 and the top of the first body 11 are integrally formed. The second body 22 is arranged perpendicular to the plane of the roof tile 4.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this example, the top of the fixed gripper 23 is a semi-circular frame structure and the bottom is a straight flat strip structure. The bottom of the fixed gripper 23 is fixed to one side of the second main body 22. The inner wall of the top semi-circular frame of the fixed gripper 23 faces the second main body 22. The top of the fixed gripper 23 and the second main body 22 enclose a semi-circular semi-open space 21.

[0039] Specifically, in existing lightning arrester cards, the semi-open space 21 has closed ends, requiring the removal and installation of screws at both ends during assembly and disassembly. The innovation of this embodiment lies in the fact that the bottom of the fixing gripper 23 is fixed to the second main body 22, forming a closed structure; while the top of the fixing gripper 23 is not fixed to the second main body 22, forming an open structure. The lightning arrester 3 can be disassembled by passing through the top of the fixing gripper 23. This is achieved simply by prying the top of the fixing gripper 23 away from the second main body 22, increasing the gap. This simplifies the lightning arrester installation process, reduces construction time and labor costs. Furthermore, because the bottom of the fixing gripper 23 is closed and the top gap is small under normal conditions, the lightning arrester 3 cannot detach from the semi-open space 21 due to downward gravity. Therefore, while simplifying assembly and disassembly, it ensures the lightning arrester 3 is resistant to detachment. Moreover, it cleverly utilizes the vertical characteristics of gravity, further designing in the vertical direction, a design not easily conceived based on existing technology.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the lightning arrester 3 is a lightning protection strip structure, the lightning arrester 3 is a linear metal structure, and the lightning arrester 3 is provided with multiple branches.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the lightning protection bracket for a pitched roof is installed using a specific installation process. This process includes the following steps: S1: The fixing hook 14 of the first splice body 12 engages with one side of the roof tile 4, and the second main body 22 is adjusted to be perpendicular to the plane of the roof tile 4; S2: The fixing hook 14 of the second splice body 13 engages with the opposite side of the roof tile 4, and the top of the second splice body 13 is close to the first... S1: Assemble the splice body 12 until the screw holes coincide, and fix the fastening screw 15 through the screw holes of the first splice body 12 and the second splice body 13; S2: On the side of the lightning protection component 3 near the second main body 22, the semi-circular frame structure at the top of the fixing gripper 23 frames the lightning protection component 3, and the bottom of the fixing gripper 23 is attached to the second main body 22 and fixed; S3: Repeat steps S1, S2 and S3 at the roof ridge and roof slope of the roof tile 4 until the lightning protection component 3 completely covers the roof ridge and roof slope.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned lightning protection bracket for pitched roofs can be installed along the roof ridge and slope ridge, which are prone to lightning strikes and are located at the highest point of the roof. By arranging base components 1 and connectors 2 along the path, and passing the linear lightning protection element 3 through the semi-open spaces 21 of multiple connectors 2, full coverage of the roof lightning protection is achieved. In a preferred embodiment, the lightning protection element 3 can be installed and removed by passing through the gap at the top of the semi-open space 21.

[0043] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative and explanatory purposes. These descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and it will be apparent that many changes and variations can be made in accordance with the foregoing teachings. The exemplary embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the specific principles of the present invention and its practical application, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to implement and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the present invention, as well as various different choices and variations. The scope of the present invention is intended to be defined by the claims and their equivalents.
