Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lightning grounding electrode technology, specifically an electrolytic ion grounding electrode. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolytic ion grounding electrodes are a type of high-efficiency grounding device widely used in power systems, lightning protection projects, and communication base stations. Their main function is to release conductive ions through electrolyte filling materials, reduce soil contact resistance, thereby improving the conductivity of the grounding system and ensuring the safe operation of power equipment and electronic systems.

[0003] However, in the long-term use of existing electrolytic ion grounding electrodes, the electrolytic ion filler will be gradually consumed, affecting the conductivity of the grounding electrode. At present, most electrolytic ion grounding electrodes are designed as integrated electrodes, and most cannot directly replenish the electrolyte filler. It is necessary to disassemble the entire electrolytic ion grounding electrode for replacement or maintenance, which is not only complicated to operate, but may also affect the stability of the grounding system. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrolytic ion grounding electrode to solve at least one aspect of the problems and defects mentioned in the background art.

[0005] An electrolytic ion grounding electrode is provided, comprising an electrode shell and a conductive wire connected to the electrode shell. The electrode shell is characterized in that an electrolyte tube is detachably connected inside the electrode shell, an electrolytic ion filling material is disposed inside the electrolyte tube, and an electrolyte replenishment component is disposed on the outer wall of the electrode shell, the electrolyte replenishment component being connected to the inside of the electrolyte tube.

[0006] Furthermore, a threaded cap is detachably connected to the top of the electrode shell. Unscrew the threaded cap and remove it, loosen the connection between the electrolyte tube and the electrode shell, take out the old electrolyte tube, insert the new electrolyte tube, re-fix the electrolyte tube and tighten the threaded cap to resume use.

[0007] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the middle of the threaded cap, which is located at the center of the threaded cap and is used to install the electrolyte replenishment component.

[0008] Furthermore, the electrolyte includes a replenishment pipe, which is detachably connected to the electrolyte tube. The replenishment pipe has a through hole connected to a filling pipe, and a replenishment chamber is provided at the upper part of the filling pipe. A chamber cover is threadedly connected to the upper part of the replenishment chamber. The chamber cover is opened, and electrolyte filler (such as electrolytic powder or granules) is added to the replenishment chamber. The filling pipe is connected to the replenishment pipe to form a stable passage. The electrolyte filler falls naturally under the action of gravity and enters the electrolyte tube through the replenishment pipe to ensure full filling. The filling status is observed. After filling is completed, the chamber cover is tightened again to prevent moisture from entering.

[0009] Furthermore, a particle diffusion plate is provided at the bottom of the replenishment chamber. The particle diffusion plate ensures that the filler material does not become blocked when it flows into the replenishment pipe, making the filler material flow more evenly.

[0010] Furthermore, the filling pipe is equipped with a regulating valve, which can be closed when filling is not required to prevent electrolyte leakage from the replenishment chamber, and opened when electrolyte filler needs to be filled through the filling pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, a threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the electrode shell, and a threaded connection part is provided at the bottom of the electrolyte tube. The threaded connection part is threaded into the threaded hole. When the filling material inside the electrolyte tube is exhausted or the performance deteriorates, the electrolyte tube can be directly unscrewed and replaced with a new tube without replacing the entire electrode shell, thus improving maintenance convenience.

[0012] Furthermore, an anti-detachment plate is provided on the outer side of the electrode shell. The anti-detachment plate can enhance the fixing force, enhance the stability of the electrode in the longitudinal and lateral directions, and ensure that the electrode shell will not easily shift.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] The electrolyte filling material can be directly replenished through the electrolyte replenishment component. In addition, the entire electrolyte tube can be disassembled for replacement. It is not necessary to disassemble the entire electrolytic ion grounding electrode for replacement or maintenance. It is easy to operate and suitable for long-term operating equipment such as power and communication equipment, thereby improving the service life of the grounding electrode.

The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3As shown in the present invention, an electrolytic ion grounding electrode includes an electrode shell 1 and a conductive wire 2 connected to the electrode shell 1. An electrolyte tube 3 is detachably connected inside the electrode shell 1. An electrolytic ion filling material 4 is provided inside the electrolyte tube 3. An electrolyte replenishment component 5 is provided on the outer wall of the electrode shell 1. The electrolyte replenishment component 5 is connected to the inside of the electrolyte tube 3.

[0027] The electrode shell 1, as the external structure of the entire grounding electrode, protects the internal electrolyte tube 3 and filler from the influence of the external environment. The conductive wire 2 connects to the grounding system, forming a current transmission channel to ensure that the current can flow smoothly through the grounding electrode to the earth. The electrolyte tube 3 contains the electrolytic ion filler 4 and is the core part for the release of electrolytic ions. Its detachable design allows the electrolyte filler to be replaced periodically, extending the service life of the grounding electrode. The electrolytic ion filler 4, as a conductive enhancement medium, improves the conductivity of the soil around the grounding electrode and reduces the grounding resistance. Through electrochemical action, a low-impedance channel is formed between the electrode shell 1 and the soil, enhancing the grounding effect. The filler is a powder or granular solid electrolyte (such as graphite, carbides, metal oxides, etc.). The electrolyte filler is replenished through the electrolyte replenishment component 5. The electrolyte filler can be replenished directly or the entire electrolyte tube can be disassembled for replacement. It is not necessary to disassemble the entire electrolytic ion grounding electrode for replacement or maintenance. It is easy to operate and suitable for long-term operating equipment such as power and communication equipment, improving the service life of the grounding electrode.

[0028] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a threaded cap 6 is detachably connected to the top of the electrode housing 1. When the entire electrolyte tube 3 needs to be disassembled for replacement, unscrew the threaded cap 6 and remove it, loosen the connection between the electrolyte tube 3 and the electrode housing 1, take out the old electrolyte tube 3, put in the new electrolyte tube 3, re-fix the electrolyte tube 3 and tighten the threaded cap 6 to resume use.

[0029] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a through hole 61 is provided in the middle of the threaded cap 6. The through hole 61 is located at the center of the threaded cap 6 and is used to install the electrolyte replenishment component 5, forming a stable replenishment passage to ensure that the filler enters the electrolyte tube 3 smoothly.

[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the electrolyte replenishment component 5 includes a replenishment pipe 51, which is detachably connected to the electrolyte tube 3. The replenishment pipe 51 is connected to a filling pipe 52 through a through hole 61. A replenishment chamber 53 is provided on the upper part of the filling pipe 52. A chamber cover 54 is threadedly connected to the upper part of the replenishment chamber 53. The chamber cover 54 is opened, and electrolyte filler (such as electrolytic powder or granules) is added to the replenishment chamber 53. The filling pipe 52 is connected to the replenishment pipe 51 to form a stable passage. The electrolyte filler falls naturally under the action of gravity and enters the electrolyte tube 3 through the replenishment pipe 51 to ensure full filling. The filling situation is observed. After filling is completed, the chamber cover 54 is tightened again to prevent moisture from entering.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a particle diffusion plate 55 is provided at the bottom of the replenishment chamber 53. The particle diffusion plate 55 ensures that the filler material will not be blocked when it flows into the replenishment pipe 51, making the filler material flow more evenly, avoiding excessive local pressure in the filling pipe 52, which would lead to poor filling, and preventing large particles or clumps of electrolyte from directly entering the pipe and affecting the filling effect. The particle diffusion plate 55 adopts a porous or mesh structure to allow powder or particles to pass through evenly.

[0032] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sealing ring 7 is provided between the outside of the through hole 61 and the filling pipe 52. The sealing ring 7 is used to seal the gap between the filling pipe 52 and the through hole 61 to ensure that the filling material will not overflow from the gap when it flows, and to prevent rainwater, moisture and dust from entering the filling pipe 52.

[0033] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a regulating valve 8 is provided on the filling pipe 52. The regulating valve 8 can be closed when filling is not required to prevent electrolyte leakage in the replenishment chamber 53. When electrolyte filler needs to be filled through the filling pipe 52, the regulating valve 8 is opened.

[0034] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the electrode shell 1, and a threaded connection part 31 is provided at the bottom of the electrolyte tube 3. The threaded connection part 31 is threaded into the threaded hole. When the filling material inside the electrolyte tube 3 is exhausted or the performance deteriorates, the electrolyte tube 3 can be directly unscrewed to replace the new tube without replacing the entire electrode shell 1, thus improving maintenance convenience.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an anti-detachment plate 9 is provided on the outer side of the electrode shell 1. The anti-detachment plate 9 is installed perpendicular to the outer wall of the electrode shell 1. When subjected to pull-out force, it uses the reaction force of the soil to resist it. The anti-detachment plate 9 can enhance the fixing force, enhance the stability of the electrode in the longitudinal and lateral directions, and ensure that the electrode shell 1 will not easily shift.

[0036] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the utility model or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
