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

[0002] Lightning current monitoring is a crucial aspect of lightning protection, involving real-time monitoring and early warning of lightning activity, as well as subsequent data analysis. Besides its use in routine meteorological forecasting, it is widely applied to lightning warning in aerospace, tourist attractions, sports venues, entertainment venues, and flammable and explosive locations.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN220340280U discloses a lightning current monitoring device, but this device has the following shortcomings in use:

[0004] 1. Copper wires are connected to the input interface via plug-in connection. However, the traditional input interface structure is relatively simple, and the copper wires are not stable enough after connection. They are prone to loosening or even detachment when subjected to external force.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a lightning current monitoring device. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where copper wires are connected to the input interface via a plug-in method. However, traditional input interface structures are relatively simple, and the copper wires are not stable after connection, easily loosening or even detaching under external force. Therefore, this invention proposes a lightning current monitoring device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A lightning strike current monitoring device, comprising:

[0009] The monitoring device body has an input interface fixed on both its surface and bottom, and a mounting component is provided on both its surface and bottom. The mounting component is located on one side of the input interface and is used to install copper wires.

[0010] The installation assembly includes a fixed base fixed to the outer wall of the main body of the monitoring device. Two fixed blocks are fixed on the surface of the fixed base. The same cover plate is rotatably connected between the two fixed blocks. A limit groove is opened through the surface of the cover plate. Two parallel connecting grooves are opened on the surface of the fixed base. A clearance groove is opened at the bottom of the fixed base. The clearance groove and the connecting groove are connected. Clamping blocks are fixed on the bottom of the cover plate and the bottom inner wall of the connecting groove.

[0011] A limiting mechanism is provided on one side of the fixed base and is used to limit the cover plate.

[0012] In one possible design, the limiting mechanism includes a slide groove formed on the surface of the fixed seat, a slider slidably connected in the slide groove, a spring fixed between the slider and the slide groove, a limiting block fixed on the surface of the slider, the limiting block passing through the limiting groove and cooperating with the cover plate.

[0013] In one possible design, the clamping blocks are provided with arc-shaped grooves on the sides that are close to each other.

[0014] In one possible design, the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove is provided with multiple arc-shaped grooves, which are evenly distributed at equal intervals.

[0015] In one possible design, the clamping block is made of rubber.

[0016] In one possible design, the inner wall of one side of the connecting groove is provided with an arc surface, which is located on one side of the clamping block.

[0017] In this application, when installing the copper wire, one end of the copper wire is inserted into the input interface, then the copper wire is bent and placed into the connecting groove. Then, the slider is pushed into the groove, at which point the spring is compressed. Then, the cover plate is lowered, allowing the limiting block to pass through the limiting groove. Then, the cover plate is pressed down forcefully, causing the clamping block to clamp and limit the copper wire. Then, the spring is released, and the spring pushes the slider and the limiting block to reset, causing the limiting block to reset the cover plate, preventing the cover plate from loosening, thereby ensuring effective clamping of the copper wire.

[0018] Beneficial effects: In this utility model, the lightning current monitoring device can effectively clamp and limit the copper wire by setting multiple structures such as connecting groove, clamping block and arc groove, so as to avoid the copper wire and input interface from becoming loose or even detached, making the structural connection more stable.

[0019] In this utility model, the lightning current monitoring device, through the setting of multiple structures such as slider, limiting block and limiting groove, can facilitate people to quickly limit and unfold the cover plate, and the operation is simple and convenient, providing convenience for people;

[0020] In this invention, the copper wire can be effectively clamped, preventing the copper wire and the input interface from becoming loose or even detached, making the structural connection more stable. It also allows people to quickly limit and unfold the cover plate, making the operation simple and convenient, and providing convenience for people. Attached Figure Description
