Abstract
Description
Technology Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a personal human earthing stick.
[0002] To construct the above-mentioned earthing stick, the present invention comprises a stick body selected from a conductive material or a material made to have conductivity, a conductive handle attached to the stick body and electrically connected to the stick body, and a grounding part made of a conductive material attached to the lower part of the stick body to allow free charges of the ground to flow into the stick body. Additionally, the stick body may be a tubular body of a certain length or a divided tubular body of a certain length, and in the case of a divided tubular body, a connector is provided at the connecting part to connect the divided tubular bodies to each other so that they can be extended and retracted, thereby making it a personal human earthing stick that is convenient to use and carry. Background Technology
[0004] Generally, earthing refers to electrically connecting electrical circuits or devices to the ground. It is a safety device that prevents electric shock or fire by channeling current to the ground in the event of a short circuit. Specifically, human earthing is achieved by using an earthing stick, which connects the human body to the ground's free charge by holding a conductive stick in the hand and making contact with the ground, or by walking barefoot.
[0005] However, barefoot walking is an act of walking in which the bare feet come into contact with the surface of the ground, and since there is a risk of causing abrasions or skin infections on the soles of the feet due to foreign substances, there is the inconvenience of having to wear protective gear, and there is the inconvenience of being unable to perform it in winter because the weather is cold. Prior art literature
[0007] 1) Prior art: Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3079433 The problem to be solved
[0008] The present invention resolves the aforementioned inconvenience by developing a cane-shaped earthing stick that allows free electrons, which are negative charges flowing in the ground, to safely come into contact with the human body, thereby enabling safe and convenient human earthing. Additionally, the grounding portion is coated with an anti-slip material so that it can be used as a cane when going up and down stairs. means of solving the problem
[0010] The present invention discloses a stick-type human earthing device comprising a stick body made of a metal pipe, a handle attached to the upper part of the stick body so as to be electrically connected to the stick body, and a grounding part made of a conductive material attached to the lower part of the stick body to allow free charges from the ground to flow into the stick body.
[0011] As mentioned above, the stick body is selected from an aluminum pipe, a stainless steel pipe, a non-ferrous metal pipe such as a copper pipe, or a carbon fiber pipe, and
[0012] In addition, the stick body is selected to be configured to be expandable by selecting a tubular body having a certain length or a divided tubular body having a certain length and installing a connector at the connection point where the divided tubular bodies are connected to each other.
[0013] In addition, the stick body is selected from synthetic resin or wood, and is configured to have a conductive material applied to the surface or a wire installed.
[0014] The handle is manufactured from a material selected from metal, synthetic resin, or wood and is configured to be electrically conductive with the stick body, and
[0015] A plug is selected for the handle to transmit the current of the stick body to another place, and
[0016] The lower part of the stick body is configured with a grounding part made of a conductive material that is detachably attached to the bottom of the stick body.
[0017] At this time, the grounding part is made of a metal bolt and is detachably attached to the bottom of the stick body, or a metal cylindrical tube is selected so that the bottom is open and the top part is detachably attached to the bottom of the stick body. Effects of the invention
[0019] The present invention, configured as described above, has the advantage of being able to eliminate static electricity when a pedestrian walks while holding the handle of the earthing stick and bringing the grounding part at the bottom of the stick into contact with the ground. This is because the stick body constituting the earthing stick is made of an electric conductor, a handle that is electrically conductive with the stick body is attached to the upper part, and a grounding part made of a conductive material is attached to the lower part.
[0020] In addition, the present invention has the advantage of being able to make an earthing stick from a material other than a metal tube by selecting wood or synthetic resin for the stick body and selecting a material equipped with a conductive material or a wire on the surface.
[0021] A metal grounding part is formed at the bottom of the stick to allow contact with free charges of the ground. By making the grounding part into a tubular body with an open bottom, non-slip contact is achieved when in contact with the ground. Since soil is introduced into the tubular body, there is an advantage of enhancing the grounding effect. Additionally, there is a through hole in the main wall of the grounding part, which facilitates easy attachment and detachment of the grounding part to the stick body, and allows for easy discharge of soil introduced into the tubular body during cleaning.
[0022] Meanwhile, by making the stick body into a split tube and inserting a connector into the connection part, installing a "C" shaped band on the outer surface, and installing a clamp with a pressure lever at the opening of the C-shaped band, the C-shaped band can be tensioned and relaxed by the pressure lever, making it easy to tighten and loosen the connection part, thereby forming a safe and durable connection part, which has the advantage of making folding and unfolding operations easy and providing a secure support force when unfolded, thus enabling the construction of a safe stick body.
[0023] In addition, the handle can be formed by making it out of wood and attaching it to the top of the stick body, covering its surface with a metal outer shell, and joining it to the stick body with a metal rivet, or by making it out of synthetic resin and attaching it to the stick body, wrapping an electrically conductive fiber tape around the outer surface of the handle, and connecting a metal wire between the stick body and the electrically conductive fiber tape. This configuration offers the advantage of being able to form a handle with various shapes while ensuring smooth electrical communication with the stick body.
[0024] If a hole is drilled in the metal part of the handle and a plug (21) is installed, there is an advantage that the human body earthing device can be connected to the handle of the stick body.
[0025] In addition, the stick body of the present invention is formed with an upper body made of a split tube made of a metal pipe and a lower body. When connecting a connector to the connecting part, an incision is formed at the bottom of the main wall of the upper body to connect the upper connecting part of the connector, a C-shaped band is attached to the outer surface, a hole is drilled in the opening of the C-shaped band to pass a bolt through, a bolt is attached to the front end of the bolt, and a clamp is formed by installing a pressure lever at the rear end of the bolt so that the C-shaped band can be tightened or loosened, thereby making it convenient to tighten and loosen the connecting part and forming a connecting part that can be freely extended and retracted. Additionally, a cylindrical rubber cap or a shoe-shaped rubber cap can be selectively attached to the outer surface of the grounding part, providing the convenience of being used as an anti-slip stick. Furthermore, if the grounding part is selected as a metal cylindrical tube, clear contact with the ground is made, making it convenient when walking on sandy paths, and soil is introduced into the tube body, increasing conductivity and increasing the earthing effect.
