Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lightning arrester technology, specifically to an easy-to-maintain modular multi-chamber gap lightning protection safety device. Background Technology
[0002] Multi-chamber gap surge arresters, also known as multi-chamber gap surge protectors, are devices used for lightning protection in power systems. They are mainly used to limit overvoltage and protect electrical equipment from damage caused by lightning strikes. Through the design of multiple chambers and gaps, they can effectively disperse and absorb lightning energy, thereby reducing the impact of overvoltage on the system.
[0003] To achieve the above functions, a prior art Chinese patent (publication number: CN111210955B) discloses a multi-chamber gap arrester. In the multi-chamber gap arrester of this invention, the air gap formed between the first discharge ball and the second discharge ball is the main air gap. The low-voltage end of the fixed gap insulator and the multi-chamber gap arrester body is fixed on the reference surface of the fixing member. When the reference surface is a plane, it can ensure that the low-voltage end of the fixed gap insulator and the multi-chamber gap arrester body is on the same plane. The fixed gap insulator and the multi-chamber gap arrester body are connected into one piece by a conductive support member, ensuring that the main air gap cannot be shifted under the action of external force, thus ensuring the stability of the multi-chamber gap arrester during lightning impulse operation.
[0004] While existing technologies can overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, other problems still exist in their operation: existing surge arresters usually have an integrated design for both the outer casing and internal components, which means that when maintenance is required, the casing and components need to be replaced in a unified manner, making replacement cumbersome and increasing maintenance costs. Furthermore, their large size makes them difficult to maintain in the future. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an easy-to-maintain modular multi-chamber gap lightning protection safety device to solve the problem that existing lightning arresters in the background art usually have an integrated design of the outer shell and inner components, which makes them inconvenient to maintain.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-maintain modular multi-chamber gap lightning protection safety device, including an end cap, a spacer block installed at the bottom of the end cap, and a rheostat installed on the side of the spacer block away from the end cap;
[0007] Two end caps are provided, and equidistant rheostats are installed between the two spacer blocks. An annular equidistant isolation groove is provided on the outer side of the end cap, and an isolation strip is engaged between every two isolation grooves. An arc-shaped positioning plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the isolation strip.
[0008] Preferably, the isolation strip and the positioning plate are distributed in a ring at equal intervals between the two end caps, and the positioning plate and the outside of the rheostat are in close contact with each other, and the positioning plate forms a cylindrical structure on the outside of the rheostat.
[0009] Preferably, the outer side of the end cap is provided with equally spaced fixing grooves, and fiber rings are installed inside the two fixing grooves. The fiber rings are located outside the positioning plate and between the two isolation strips.
[0010] Preferably, the outer side of the end cap is provided with a connecting thread, and the top of the end cap is threadedly connected to a fixing ring through the connecting thread, and the inner side of the fixing ring and the outer side of the isolation strip are in close contact with each other.
[0011] Preferably, the two end caps have three equally spaced threaded holes on the side away from the spacer block, and the two end caps are respectively fitted with a connector and a base through the threaded holes.
[0012] Preferably, a mounting groove is formed on the outer side of the end cap, between the two isolation strips, and on the inner side of the fixing ring, and a housing is installed between the two mounting grooves.
[0013] Preferably, the outer side of the outer shell is provided with a wave-shaped structure, and connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the outer shell. The connecting blocks are engaged and connected inside the mounting groove, and the outer shell is formed to fit together between the two end caps to form an integral whole.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This easy-to-maintain modular multi-chamber gap lightning protection safety device, through the combination of modular components such as isolation strips, positioning plates, and shells, allows each part of the surge arrester to be disassembled and installed independently. When maintaining or replacing damaged parts, the surge arrester can be quickly disassembled simply by removing the fixing ring, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency and reduces maintenance costs.
[0016] The junction rheostat is wrapped by a positioning plate to form a cylindrical structure and is fixed with a fiber ring, which effectively prevents misalignment caused by vibration or impact and improves the service life of the surge arrester. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-maintain modular multi-chamber gap lightning protection safety device, including an end cap 1, a spacer block 2 installed at the bottom of the end cap 1, and a rheostat 3 installed on the side of the spacer block 2 away from the end cap 1; there are two end caps 1, and rheostats 3 are installed at equal intervals between the two spacer blocks 2; annularly distributed isolation grooves 4 are provided on the outer side of the end cap 1, and an isolation strip 5 is engaged between every two isolation grooves 4, and an arc-shaped positioning plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the isolation strip 5; the isolation strip 5 and the positioning plate 6 are distributed at equal intervals in an annular shape between the two end caps 1, and the positioning plate 6 and the outer side of the rheostat 3 are in close contact with each other, and the positioning plate 6 forms a cylindrical structure on the outer side of the rheostat 3; an equally distributed fixing groove 7 is provided on the outer side of the end cap 1, and fiber rings 8 are installed inside the two fixing grooves 7, and the fiber rings 8 are located outside the positioning plate 6 and between the two isolation strips 5.
[0026] During the installation of the surge arrester, the spacer block 2 is first installed inside the end cap 1, and multiple rheostats 3 are installed between the rheostats 3 so that the rheostats 3 fit together to form a whole. After the spacer block 2 and the rheostats 3 are installed, the isolation strip 5 is installed between the two end caps 1 so that both the upper and lower ends of the isolation strip 5 are installed inside the isolation groove 4.
[0027] After the isolation strip 5 is installed, the positioning plate 6 installed on the inner side of the isolation strip 5 will fit together with the rheostat 3. At this time, the cylindrical structure formed by the positioning plate 6 on the outside of the rheostat 3 will fix it to prevent the rheostat 3 from being misaligned due to vibration during use. After the isolation strip 5 and the positioning plate 6 are installed, the fiber ring 8 is installed inside the fixing groove 7 on the outside of the two end caps 1, so that the fixing groove 7 is distributed in a ring at equal intervals on the outside of the rheostat 3.
[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the following structure is also disclosed: The outer side of the end cap 1 is provided with a connecting thread 9, and the top of the end cap 1 is threadedly connected to a fixing ring 10 through the connecting thread 9, and the inner side of the fixing ring 10 and the outer side of the isolation strip 5 are in close contact with each other; the two end caps 1 are provided with three equally spaced threaded holes on the side away from the spacer block 2, and the two end caps 1 are respectively installed with a connector 11 and a base 12 through the threaded holes; the outer side of the end cap 1, the space between the two isolation strips 5 and the inner side of the fixing ring 10 form a mounting groove 13, and a housing 14 is installed between the two mounting grooves 13; the outer side of the housing 14 is provided with a wave-shaped structure, and the top and bottom of the housing 14 are fixedly connected with connecting blocks 15, the connecting blocks 15 are engaged in the mounting groove 13, and the housing 14 is in close contact between the two end caps 1 to form an integral whole.

When the fixing ring 10 and end cap 1 are separated, the isolation strip 5, positioning plate 6, outer shell 14 and fiber ring 8 can be removed, which facilitates maintenance.
