Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lightning protection structure technology, specifically to a lightning protection structure for power transmission towers. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in power system voltage levels and the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, lightning protection for transmission towers is of paramount importance. Surge arresters, as key components in the lightning protection structure of transmission towers, can conduct lightning current and limit overvoltage during a lightning strike, playing a crucial role in protecting transmission lines and electrical equipment. However, the actual lightning protection effect of surge arresters depends not only on their own performance but also closely on their installation orientation.

[0003] Currently, the traditional method of installing surge arresters for power transmission towers is to fix them with multiple bolts. However, surge arresters are often exposed to wind and rain during use. In windy and rainy environments, bolts are prone to loosening due to vibration. Moreover, bolts are prone to corrosion in windy and rainy environments, which affects the fixing effect and thus affects the installation stability of the surge arrester. Utility Model Content

[0010] Based on the above scheme, the third rotating mechanism includes a third cavity, a first gear ring, and a driving mechanism. The mounting frame has an annular third cavity. A first gear is rotatably arranged in the third cavity on one side of the fourth bevel gear. A first connecting rod is fixedly arranged between the first gear and the adjacent fourth bevel gear.

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this invention illustrates a lightning protection structure for a power transmission tower according to one embodiment of the present invention. The structure includes a surge arrester body 1, a mounting frame 2, a grounding wire 5, and a positioning mechanism. The mounting frame 2 is disposed on one side of the surge arrester body 1, and has a mounting groove 3. A mounting opening 4 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 3. The bottom end of the surge arrester body 1 is adapted to the mounting groove 3, with the bottom end of the surge arrester body 1 extending into the mounting groove 3. The grounding wire 5 is installed at the bottom end of the surge arrester body 1 and passes through the mounting opening 4 for grounding. The positioning mechanism is disposed between the mounting frame 2 and the surge arrester body 1 for fixing the mounting frame 2 and the surge arrester body 1 together. A sealing ring is fixedly provided on the side wall of the surge arrester body 1, and the sealing ring contacts the side wall of the mounting groove 3. A threaded opening 22 is provided on the mounting frame 2, and an insulating film is fixedly provided on the side wall of the mounting groove 3.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3The positioning mechanism includes a positioning groove 6, a positioning block 7, and a limiting mechanism. Multiple L-shaped positioning grooves 6 are provided on the side wall of the surge arrester body 1. One end of each positioning groove 6 penetrates the bottom side wall of the surge arrester body 1. A positioning block 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting groove 6 on the side wall of the mounting groove 3. The positioning block 7 extends into the positioning groove 6. The limiting mechanism is located between the positioning block 7 and the positioning groove 6 to limit the movement between them. Specifically, during the process of extending the surge arrester body 1 into the mounting groove 3, the positioning block 7 can extend into the positioning groove 6. Then, the operator rotates the surge arrester body 1 to fully extend the positioning block 7 into the positioning groove 6, thus facilitating the installation and fixing of the mounting bracket 2 and the surge arrester body 1 through the cooperation of the positioning block 7 and the positioning groove 6.

[0033] Reference Figures 3-5The limiting mechanism includes a first limiting groove 8, a second limiting groove 9, a threaded rod 10, and a first rotating mechanism. The positioning groove 6 has two opposite side walls with first limiting grooves 8, and the positioning block 7 has two opposite side walls with second limiting grooves 9. A limiting post 23 is slidably disposed within the second limiting groove 9 along its axial direction. The threaded rod 10 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the second limiting groove 9, and extends into the limiting post 23 via threaded engagement. The first rotating mechanism is disposed within the positioning block 7 and is used to drive the two threaded rods 10 within the same positioning block 7 to rotate synchronously. The first rotating mechanism includes a first limiting groove 8, a second limiting groove 9, a threaded rod 10, and a first rotating mechanism. The system comprises a cavity 11, a second bevel gear 13, and a second rotating mechanism. The first cavity 11 is located within the positioning block 7. A first bevel gear 12 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the first cavity 11 near the threaded rod 10. The first bevel gear 12 is fixedly connected to the nearby threaded rod 10. The second bevel gear 13 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the first cavity 11 and meshes with the first bevel gear 12. The second rotating mechanism is mounted on the mounting bracket 2 and is used to drive the second bevel gear 13 to rotate. The second rotating mechanism includes a second cavity 14, a fourth bevel gear 16, and a third rotating mechanism. The mounting bracket 2 is located within the first cavity 11. A second cavity 14 is formed on one side of cavity 11. A third bevel gear 15 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the second cavity 14. A drive rod is fixed between the third bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 13. A fourth bevel gear 16 is rotatably mounted on the inner bottom wall of the second cavity 14 and meshes with the third bevel gear 15. A third rotating mechanism is mounted on the mounting bracket 2 and is used to drive multiple fourth bevel gears 16 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, the operation of the third rotating mechanism can drive multiple fourth bevel gears 16 to rotate synchronously, and at the same time, through the interaction between the fourth bevel gear 16 and the third bevel gear 15... The meshing drives the third bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 13 to rotate. The meshing of the second bevel gear 13 with the first bevel gear 12 drives the first bevel gear 12 and the threaded rod 10 to rotate. The threaded engagement between the threaded rod 10 and the limiting post 23 causes one end of the limiting post 23 to extend into the first limiting groove 8. The engagement of the limiting post 23 with the first limiting groove 8 and the second limiting groove 9 respectively achieves the limitation between the positioning block 7 and the positioning groove 6, thereby preventing the positioning block 7 from coming out of the positioning groove 6 and improving the installation stability between the surge arrester body 1 and the mounting bracket 2.

[0034] Reference Figures 3-5The third rotating mechanism includes a third cavity 17, a first gear ring 19, and a drive mechanism. The mounting frame 2 has an annular third cavity 17. A first gear 18 is rotatably mounted within the third cavity 17, located on one side of the fourth bevel gear 16. A first connecting rod is fixedly mounted between the first gear 18 and the adjacent fourth bevel gear 16. The first gear ring 19 is rotatably mounted within the third cavity 17 and meshes with the first gear 18. The drive mechanism is mounted on the mounting frame 2 and is used to drive one of the third bevel gears 15 to rotate. The drive mechanism includes a drive groove and a second connecting rod 21. The drive groove is... The mounting bracket 2 has an internal hexagonal bolt head 20 rotatably mounted in the drive slot. The second connecting rod 21 is fixedly mounted between the internal hexagonal bolt head 20 and the adjacent third bevel gear 15. Specifically, an internal hexagonal bolt can be tightened using an internal hexagonal wrench, thereby driving the third bevel gear 15 to rotate. At the same time, the meshing of the third bevel gear 15 with the fourth bevel gear 16 drives the adjacent first gear 18 to rotate. Thus, the meshing of the first gear 18 with the first gear ring 19 drives multiple fourth bevel gears 16 and multiple first gears 18 to rotate synchronously.

[0035] In this embodiment, during use, when the operator inserts the surge arrester body 1 into the mounting groove 3, the positioning block 7 can be inserted into the positioning groove 6. Then, the operator rotates the surge arrester body 1 so that the positioning block 7 is fully inserted into the positioning groove 6. This facilitates the installation and fixation of the mounting bracket 2 and the surge arrester body 1 through the cooperation of the positioning block 7 and the positioning groove 6. Afterwards, the operator can use an Allen wrench to tighten the Allen bolts, thereby rotating the third bevel gear 15. Simultaneously, the meshing of the third bevel gear 15 and the fourth bevel gear 16 drives the adjacent first gear 18 to rotate. Thus, the meshing of the first gear 18 and the first gear ring 19 drives multiple fourth bevel gears. The wheel 16 and multiple first gears 18 rotate synchronously. At the same time, the meshing of the fourth bevel gear 16 with the third bevel gear 15 drives the third bevel gear 15 and the second bevel gear 13 to rotate. Thus, the meshing of the second bevel gear 13 with the first bevel gear 12 drives the first bevel gear 12 and the threaded rod 10 to rotate. Thus, the threaded engagement between the threaded rod 10 and the limiting post 23 drives one end of the limiting post 23 to extend into the first limiting groove 8. Then, the engagement of the limiting post 23 with the first limiting groove 8 and the second limiting groove 9 respectively achieves the limitation between the positioning block 7 and the positioning groove 6, thereby preventing the positioning block 7 from coming out of the positioning groove 6, thus improving the installation stability between the surge arrester body 1 and the mounting bracket 2.
