[0002] Zinc oxide surge arresters are industrial devices that have functions such as current discharge and interruption. They are surge arresters with good protective performance, utilizing the excellent nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics of zinc oxide. The difference between them and traditional surge arresters is that they do not have a discharge gap.
[0003] Currently, zinc oxide surge arresters are mainly fixed and installed using threaded bolts. However, this method has certain drawbacks. Workers have to climb to the top of the utility pole and use a wrench to install the zinc oxide surge arrester onto the mounting plate on the pole. This prolongs the time that workers spend working at heights, greatly increasing the risk and resulting in poor performance. Utility Model Content

[0028] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0029] Reference Figure 1-8 This utility model embodiment provides an AC surge arrester based on zinc oxide, which includes: a mounting plate 1 and a zinc oxide surge arrester body 2. A bottom rod 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the zinc oxide surge arrester body 2. A quick-connect assembly 4 is provided on the bottom rod 6, and a pull pin assembly 5 is provided on the quick-connect assembly 4.
[0030] The quick-release assembly 4 includes a first spring 42, which enables the extension block 41 to return to its original position. The extension block 41 is fixedly mounted on both ends of the first spring 42. A mounting groove is provided on the bottom rod 6 to mount the extension block 41. The extension block 41 is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting groove. A slot 44 is provided on the upper surface of the extension block 41 for mounting a second spring 45. The second spring 45 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the slot 44, and its top end is fixed... A pin 43 is fixedly installed to enhance the installation and fixation of the zinc oxide surge arrester. A pin hole 46 is opened on the lower surface of the mounting plate 1 for inserting the pin 43. A slot 48 is opened on the upper surface of the mounting plate 1. A positioning rod 47 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the bottom rod 6. An installation hole 3 is opened on the outer wall of the mounting plate 1. A second spring 45 is fitted on the outside of the positioning rod 47. A slanted groove 7 is opened on the side wall of the bottom rod 6 to facilitate personnel to pull down the pull block 51.
[0031] The pull pin assembly 5 includes a pull block 51, a pull rod 55 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the pull block 51, the top end of the pull rod 55 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the pin 43, the pull rod 55 passing through the through hole at the bottom of the slot 44, positioning beads 53 on both sides of the pin 43, a first insertion hole 54 is opened on the side wall of the slot 44, the first insertion hole 54 and the positioning bead 53 cooperate to lock the pin 43 in the slot 44, a second insertion hole 56 is opened on the side wall of the pin hole 46, the second insertion hole 56 and the positioning bead 53 cooperate to lock the pin 43 in the pin hole 46. The self-locking is achieved by the cooperation of the positioning bead 53, the first insertion hole 54 and the second insertion hole 56, which makes it easy for workers to install and remove with one hand and reduces the difficulty of installation. A groove 52 is opened on the outer wall of the extension block 41.
[0032] Working principle: After aligning the bottom rod 6 installed at the bottom end of the zinc oxide surge arrester body 2 with the mounting hole 3, insert it. The positioning rod 47 installed on the lower surface of the bottom rod 6 is inserted into the slot 48. The extension block 41 set on the bottom rod 6 is first squeezed by the inner wall of the mounting hole 3, and the extension block 41 retracts into the interior of the bottom rod 6. The pin 43 on the extension block 41 is squeezed into the slot 44 through the inclined groove 7. The second spring 45 in the slot 44 is compressed and forms a compressed state. At the same time, the extension block 41 compresses the first spring. Spring 42 compresses the extension block 41, causing it to be in a compressed state. After the extension block 41 is removed from the mounting hole 3, the elastic force of the first spring 42 causes the extension block 41 to pop out from the bottom rod 6, thus resetting the extension block 41 and locking it at the bottom of the mounting plate 1. At the same time, the pin 43 pops out from the slot 44 and is directly inserted into the pin hole 46 at the bottom of the mounting plate 1. The positioning beads 53 on both sides of the pin 43 are inserted into the second insertion hole 56 to enhance the fixing effect.
[0033] When the zinc oxide surge arrester needs to be replaced, the operator only needs to pull down the pull block 51. The pull block 51 drives the pin 43 to retract into the slot 44 through the pull rod 55. The positioning beads 53 on both sides of the pin 43 are removed from the second insertion hole 56 and inserted into the first insertion hole 54 in the slot 44. At the same time, it compresses the second spring 45, so that the second spring 45 is in a compressed state. After the pin 43 is removed from the pin hole 46, the symmetrical extension blocks 41 on the side wall of the bottom rod 6 are squeezed with two fingers. The extension blocks 41 retract into the interior of the bottom rod 6, and the zinc oxide surge arrester body 2 can be moved upward, so that the bottom rod 6 at the bottom end of the zinc oxide surge arrester body 2 can be removed from the mounting hole 3, thus completing the disassembly of the zinc oxide surge arrester.
[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
