Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a structure for installing grounding plates in distribution lines within the field of power distribution technology. More specifically, it relates to a structure for installing grounding plates in distribution lines that allows for the frequent inspection of grounding wires for disconnection or functional degradation, thereby identifying and replacing aging grounding wires even before their service life is reached, so that the grounding part can always maintain a normal lightning protection function, thereby preventing safety accidents, material damage, and human casualties caused by lightning. It also ensures that no functional failure occurs in the inspection part even during the process of lightning discharge into the ground through the grounding part, ensures that regular inspections are performed during normal times, performs intensive inspections before the arrival of a period with frequent lightning strikes, and ensures the safety of the inspection equipment by not performing inspections when a lightning forecast is issued, stores inspection results in a database on a management server to manage them by utility pole, allows an administrator to check the inspection results from a remote location, and enables the replacement of grounding wires to be carried out easily. Background Technology
[0002] Generally, lightning refers to the phenomenon in which electrostatic electrical energy, generated by being charged—such as by static electricity—due to the flow of active air currents, is discharged to the surface of the earth.
[0003] Meanwhile, power distribution lines are susceptible to lightning strikes, equipment malfunctions, and damage to life and property.
[0004] Therefore, in the case of power distribution lines, grounding devices are installed on utility poles to rapidly discharge lightning into the ground in order to prevent damage to life and property caused by lightning strikes.
[0005] In conventional power distribution lines, an overhead ground wire installed at the top of a utility pole where a crossbar is installed, a grounding wire connected to the overhead ground wire with its upper half located outside the utility pole and its lower half located underground through the inside of the utility pole, a horizontal grounding rod connected to the grounding wire, multiple grounding rods connected vertically to the horizontal grounding rod, and multiple grounding plates connected to the bottom of the grounding rods and buried underground are installed to prevent damage to the power distribution line caused by lightning strikes by discharging into the ground through the overhead ground wire, grounding wire, horizontal grounding rods, vertical grounding rods, and grounding plates when a lightning strike occurs.
[0006] As prior art, Korean Published Patent No. 10-2013-0104038 (September 25, 2013), titled "Overhead Distribution Line Power Loss Reduction Device," discloses a technology that prevents power loss caused by the induced current of an overhead distribution line by blocking the induced current induced in the overhead ground wire, thereby allowing large currents flowing through the overhead ground wire due to lightning strikes, etc., to pass through while blocking the induced current induced in the overhead ground wire. This technology is configured such that the device is installed at a point separated from an overhead ground wire or a jumper wire connecting the overhead ground wire at a predetermined location, and the separated ends of the overhead ground wire or jumper wire are inserted into the device facing each other, and discharge plates are positioned inside the device facing each other.
[0007] However, Korean Public Patent No. 10-2013-0104038 is equipped with a discharge plate to allow large currents flowing through overhead ground wires due to lightning strikes, etc., to pass through while blocking induced currents in the overhead ground wires, and the discharge plate portion is protected by a case; however, it has the disadvantage that the power loss reduction effect is somewhat insufficient.
[0008] As a prior art that improves upon these drawbacks, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1484268 (January 12, 2015), titled "Device for Monitoring and Reducing Power Loss in Overhead Distribution Lines," discloses a technology that enhances the power loss reduction effect by configuring the case so that the jumper wire connecting the overhead ground wire is separated at an arbitrary location to cut off the induced current induced in the overhead ground wire of an overhead distribution line, the jumper wire is separated at the separated point, the separated ends of the jumper wire are inserted into the case facing each other, and a pair of discharge plates are connected to each end of the jumper wire inserted into the case and positioned inside the case facing each other. A mesh insulator is grounded and fixed to the pair of discharge plates in the case to always keep the pair of discharge plates separated.
[0009] However, the aforementioned prior art involves installing an overhead distribution line power loss detection and reduction device, comprising a case, a discharge plate, an insulating mesh, a flash detection sensor, and a wireless communication unit, in the middle of a jumper wire connecting an overhead ground wire. Since the jumper wire is unable to withstand the weight of the overhead distribution line power loss detection and reduction device, there is a risk that the jumper wire may sag downwards and come into contact with the overhead ground wire or the overhead ground wire support, thereby degrading or losing its function.
[0010] In addition, the aforementioned prior art has the problem that construction becomes cumbersome because a connection means for connecting the overhead ground wire and the ground wire must be separately installed at the upper part of the overhead ground wire support at a certain interval, separately from the overhead distribution line power loss monitoring and reduction device.
[0011] As prior art to improve these problems, Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1514020 (April 15, 2015), "Device for Monitoring and Reducing Power Loss in Overhead Distribution Lines," can reduce power loss caused by induced currents by blocking small currents, such as induced currents in the overhead ground wire caused by the current flowing in the power line, through discharge plates arranged at regular intervals and connected to the overhead ground wire via overhead ground wire connectors, while conducting large currents, such as lightning currents, through arc discharge. Furthermore, since the overhead ground wire connector connected to one side of the overhead ground wire is connected to the ground wire connector connected to the ground wire, the lightning current can be grounded through the ground wire, thereby preventing accidents caused by lightning currents. Additionally, while the overhead ground wire and ground wire are connected to the overhead ground wire connector and the ground wire connector, a flange is formed on the ground wire connection part integrally formed at the bottom of the lower insulating housing, and a flange is formed on the top of the overhead ground wire support, and these are joined by bolts and nuts, thereby [referring to] the utility pole A technology is disclosed that significantly improves constructability by allowing overhead ground wires, power loss detection and reduction means, and grounding wires to be installed quickly and easily in a single operation, as they can be installed at the top.
[0012] Meanwhile, the grounding wire constituting the grounding device may be damaged or severed over time. Since the aforementioned prior art technologies install the grounding wire simply by burying it inside the utility pole, it is impossible to check for severed or damaged wire without disassembling it. Consequently, there is a problem in that the grounding function cannot be properly performed if the grounding wire is severed or damaged.
[0013] In addition, if the grounding wire deteriorates and its conductivity decreases, it may not be able to effectively discharge lightning strikes. If there is no device to inspect it, it will inevitably be left unattended until it is replaced after reaching the lifespan stipulated in the management rules. Consequently, if the grounding wire fails to perform its function before reaching its lifespan, there is a risk of serious accidents such as electric shock, fire, and line damage caused by lightning strikes.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 6, in a non-inspection state, the first and second horizontal operating rods (731, 741) of the first and second horizontal solenoids (730, 740) are retracted by the control of the inspection control unit (600), causing the first and second connecting rods (710, 720) coupled to their ends to detach from the first and second inspection terminals (430, 440), and at the same time, the first and second vertical operating rods (831, 841) of the first and second vertical solenoids (830, 840) are lowered, causing the first and second insulating covers (810, 820) coupled to their upper ends to lower, thereby separating the first and second inspection terminals (430, 440) and the first and second insulating blocks (450, 460) from the first and second insulating covers (810, The interior of the compartment (300) is shielded by 820).

[0065] Referring to FIG. 7, in the inspection state, the first and second vertical operating rods (831, 841) of the first and second vertical solenoids (830, 840) are lowered by the control of the inspection control unit (600), and the first and second insulating covers (810, 820) coupled to the upper ends are lowered so that the first and second inspection terminals (430, 440) and the first and second insulating blocks (450, 460) are exposed. At the same time, the first and second horizontal operating rods (731, 741) of the first and second horizontal solenoids (730, 740) are advanced so that the first and second connecting rods (710, 720) coupled to the ends are inserted into and connected to the first and second inspection terminals (430, 440).

[0067] The inspection control unit (600) receives the resistance measurement signal from the resistance meter (500) and compares the resistance measurement value with the initial measurement value measured at the time of initial installation. If the initial measurement value and the resistance measurement value are the same, it outputs a signal indicating that the resistance measurement value is available; if the resistance measurement value is greater than the initial measurement value, it outputs a signal indicating that an inspection is required; and if the resistance measurement value is '0', it outputs an immediate replacement signal along with the unique ID of the resistance meter (500).
[0068] In addition, the inspection control unit (600) may control the connection means (700) and the blocking means (800) so that the inspection operation is not performed when there is a lightning warning.
[0069] The communication unit (900) transmits available signals, inspection required signals, and immediate replacement signals through the network according to the control of the inspection control unit (600).
[0070] The management server (1000) receives available signals, signals requiring inspection, and signals requiring immediate replacement through a network, stores them in a database, and enables them to be used for the management of the distribution line.
[0071] The administrator terminal (1100) receives available signals, signals requiring inspection, and signals for immediate replacement through a network and a mobile communication network and displays them on a screen, thereby enabling the administrator to quickly identify the situation in real time and respond quickly even from a remote location.
