DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0053] A lightning arrester functions as important device used to protect electrical equipment from high transient overvoltage hazards. The lightning arrester is mounted and connected between a power supply line and the earth, and is usually used in parallel with the protected equipment. When the power supply line or equipment is operating under a normal rated working voltage, the lightning arrester has no release effect on the earth, and is thus regarded to enter a high-impedance disconnected state to the earth. Once a high voltage occurs and endangers the insulation of the protected equipment, the lightning arrester made of a zinc oxide material immediately releases an overvoltage action to the earth and directs the high-voltage impact to the earth, thereby limiting a voltage amplitude and protecting the self insulation between a power supply cable and the equipment. When the overvoltage disappears, the lightning arrester quickly returns to its original state, allowing the power supply line to operate normally.

[0054] After the long-term use of the lightning arrester, there will inevitably be a problem in terms of service life. Once a device ages, the lightning arrester needs to be disconnected from a distribution network circuit in time. A hot-melt type disconnection manner is generally adopted for the lightning arrester. A hot-melt type disconnector is characterized in that: when an internal valve core of a zinc oxide lightning arrester has an aging failure, a ground terminal of the zinc oxide lightning arrester is disconnected, which is mainly manifested as an increase in the current flowing through a valve plate, making a valve plate group form a heating state. Since the valve plate group has a negative temperature coefficient, the equivalent resistance caused by heating decreases, which in turn promotes severe heating and forms a vicious circle. In this way, the zinc oxide lightning arrester directly transmits its working state to a disconnector in a form of temperature, and heats up by itself by using a power-frequency current. When this temperature reaches a designed value of the disconnector, a low-melting-point alloy in the disconnector is molten, and the disconnector actuates to enable the zinc oxide lightning arrester to be disconnected from a ground wire of the system, and the zinc oxide lightning arrester is then replaced.

[0055] The present invention focuses on the problems of long-term use and aging replacement of lightning arresters, and has develops an external anti-falling mechanism, a built-in anti-falling mechanism, an automatic tripping structure of a magnetic lightning arresting core and a lightning arresting and fusing combination device, which will be respectively introduced respectively in the following embodiments.

Embodiment 1: External Anti-Falling Lightning Arrester

[0056] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, an automatic tripping and anti-falling lightning arrester includes an umbrella skirt main body 101, an insulating tube 102, a zinc oxide lightning arresting core 302, and a bell-mouth main body 2, wherein the insulting tube 102 is located inside the umbrella skirt main body 101, and the bell-mouth main body 2 is located at the bottom end of the umbrella skirt main body 101. An upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602 is provided at the upper end of the umbrella skirt main body 101. The lower surface of the upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602 is provided with a magnet adsorption surface 118. The lower end of the upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602 is provided with a mounting internal thread, and the insulating tube 102 is provided with a tube top external thread 641 that is matched with the mounting internal thread. The upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602 is fixedly connected to the umbrella skirt main body 101 through the insulating tube 102. A lightning arresting core mounting cavity is provided inside the insulating tube 102. The zinc oxide lightning arrester body 3 is mounted in the lightning arresting core mounting cavity. The lightning arrester body 3 includes a zinc oxide lightning arresting core 302 in the middle, a disconnection unit 303 at the upper end, and an extension rod 301 at the lower end. A conductive convex ring 305 is provided on the extension rod 301. An anti-falling mounting frame is connected to one side of the umbrella skirt main body 101. An anti-falling movable hook 508 is connected to one side of the bottom end of the anti-falling mounting frame. The anti-falling movable hook 508 is located at one side of the bottom end of the lightning arresting core. The anti-falling mounting frame includes a fixed bracket 505 and an anti-falling fixing member 506. A fixing collar 551 is connected to one end of the fixed bracket 505, and fixedly sleeves the connection between the umbrella skirt main body 101 and the bell-mouth main body 2. The anti-falling fixing member 506 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 505. A torsion spring 582 is provided on the anti-falling fixing member 506, and connected to the anti-falling fixing member 506 by a bolt. The fixed bracket 505 is closely clung to a bell mouth 2 through the fixing collar 551, which can ensure that overvoltage or lightning can be safely directed into the ground. At the same time, the fixing collar 551 effectively connects the insulating tube 102, and a ground wire from a wire outlet end may be connected to the anti-falling fixing member 506 through a torsion spring bolt 583.

[0057] The anti-falling movable hook 508 is located at one side of the bottom end of the anti-falling fixing member 506, and is connected to the anti-falling fixing member 506 through the torsion spring 582 and a hook bolt 581. When an operator manually installs the anti-falling movable hook 508, an installer is used to shrink the anti-falling movable hook 508 inward so that the zinc oxide lightning arrester body 3 is installed smoothly and returns to an original state. Therefore, when the zinc oxide lightning arrester core 302 ages and falls off, the lightning arrester body 3 can be stuck at an anti-falling position by using the anti-falling movable member 508, so as to prevent the lightning arrester body 3 from directly falling in other places and causing safety accidents.

[0058] The upper end of the bell-mouth main body 2 is provided with a mounting thread 201, and the side wall at the bottom end of the insulating tube 102 is provided with a tube bottom external thread 104 matching the mounting thread 201. A conductive contact surface 204 is provided at one end of the bell-mouth main body 2 with a larger diameter. The bell-mouth main body 2 and the insulating tube 102 may be tightly combined by means of the mounting thread 201, and the conductive contact surface 204 may be fully in contact with a conductive part at the lower end of the lightning arrester body 3, thereby ensuring the effective conduction therebetween. The bell-mouth main body 2 is made of a non-ferrous metal material. The conductive contact surface 204 has a 30° wide mouth, and is in contact with the extension rod 301 through the conductive convex ring 305. Since the bell-mouth main body 2 is made of the non-ferrous metal material, a magnet at the upper end of the lightning arrester body 3 can be prevented from being attracted accidentally during the installation process of the lightning arrester body 3. By designing the conductive contact surface 204 with the 30° wide mouth, the lightning arrester body 3 can be installed more easily.

[0059] An upper-end connecting member 601 is connected to the top end of the upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602, a wire inlet end 612 is provided at the upper end of the upper-end connecting member 601, and a connecting stud 611 is provided on the side wall of the upper-end connecting member 601. The upper end of the upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602 is provided with a mounting hole matched with the connecting stud 611. The upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602 is connected to the upper-end connecting member 601 through the connecting stud 611. The umbrella skirt main body 101 is connected to the upper-end connecting member 601 through the upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602, such that the umbrella skirt main body 101 can be rotated by 90° and has a certain connection effect.

[0060] The upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602 is made of an iron material, and a magnet adsorption surface 118 is machined on the lower end of the upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602. The magnet adsorption surface 118 is a flat circular surface, which provides an effective adsorption surface for the magnet inside the disconnection unit 303, such that they are fully in contact with each other for electrical conduction. In normal operation, the disconnection unit 303 is adsorbed onto the magnet adsorption surface 118. The aging of the lightning arresting core results in a thermal effect inside the magnetic tripping module, which makes the disconnection unit 303 automatically tripped from the magnet adsorption surface 118.

[0061] When in operation, the umbrella skirt main body 101 is movably connected to the upper-end connecting member 601 through the upper umbrella skirt sealing member 602, and is connected to an upper-end line through a wire inlet end 612 at the upper end of the upper-end connecting member 601. The bell-mouth main body 2 and the insulating tube 102 may be tightly combined through the mounting thread 201. At this time, the lightning arrester body 3 is installed inside the insulating tube 102, and the conductive convex ring 301 on the extension rod 301 is fully in contact with the conductive contact surface 204 to ensure the effective electric conduction therebetween. In addition, the fixed support 505 is tightly clung to the bell-mouth main body 2 through the fixing collar 551, and meanwhile, the anti-falling fixing member 506 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 505, and a ground line at the lower end is connected to the anti-falling fixing member 506 through the hook bolt 581, which can ensure that overvoltage or lightning can be safely directed into the ground.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 4, when the zinc oxide lightning arresting core 302 ages and falls off, the extension rod 301 and the conductive convex ring 305 fall off accordingly, such that the bottom end of the conductive convex ring 301 is in contact with the top end of the anti-falling movable hook 508. Therefore, the anti-falling movable hook 508 is used to support the conductive convex ring 301 of the lightning arrester body 3, such that the lightning arrester body 3 is stuck at an anti-falling position, thereby preventing the lightning arrester body 3 from directly falling in other places and causing safety accidents, with high safety and easy use.

Embodiment 2: Magnetic Tripping Module

[0063] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a magnetic tripping module includes a metal shell 311, a metal cover 312, a magnet 313, a resistor plate 314, a pot-shaped conductor plate 315, a conductive jacking member 316, a conductive connecting screw 317, and an insulated positioning pad 318. The metal shell 311 and the metal cover 312 are made of aluminum, the resistor plate 4 is a silicon carbide resistor plate, and the insulated positioning pad 318 is made of nylon.

[0064] The metal shell 311 serves as a main support of the entire structure to ensure that the entire structure will not collapse under high temperature conditions. A special-shaped hole is formed in the bottom of the metal shell 311, and has two functions: the special-shaped hole can provide a friction force required for the rotation and tightening of the conductive connecting screw 317, so that tool-free installation can be achieved; a maximum outer diameter of the special-shaped hole is smaller than a maximum outer diameter of a tail structure of the conductive connecting screw 317, which can ensure that the screw will not be pulled out or dropped from the entire magnetic tripping module after the insulated positioning pad 318 is molten at high temperature, and also ensures that the other connecting end of the conductive connecting screw will never be disconnected from the magnetic tripping module.

[0065] The top of the metal shell 311 is provided with a thread, which facilitates the installation of the metal cover 312. The structural part of the metal cover 312 includes an external thread, a magnet positioning groove and a mounting notch. The external thread functions to ensure that the metal cover 312 and the metal shell 311 can be tightly connected; the magnet positioning groove functions to ensure that an installation position of the magnet 313 is always at the center; and the mounting gap provides a clamping position for a rotary tightening tool, thereby ensuring a rotary tightening force. The magnet 313 is characterized by being provided with a central positioning hole used to ensure that the resistor plate 314 connected to the magnet 313 is positioned at the center of the structure during assembly. The resistor plate 314 is characterized by being provided with a positioning boss at the center, which ensures that the resistor plate 314 is positioned at the center of the magnet during assembly.

[0066] The pot-shaped conductor plate 315 is made of brass, and its shape is as shown in FIG. 5. The pot-shaped conductor plate 315 has two functions: 1, when a leakage voltage value is less than a certain threshold value (1 kV in this patent), a current is directed through the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 to the resistor plate 314 connected in series with the pot-shaped conductor plate 315, and at this moment, the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 functions to increase a connection area between the resistor plate 314 and the pot-shaped conductor plate 315, thereby ensuring the sufficient electric conduction; and 2, when a leakage voltage exceeds a certain threshold (1 kV in this patent), a voltage flowing through the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 will break through a 2 mm air discharge gap 320 between the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 and the metal shell 311, to perform continuous discharge on the metal shell 311, and at this moment, another parallel path is created, which makes use of and releases part of the current. This discharge process will cause the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 to instantaneously generate a high temperature greater than 1000° C. This temperature is transmitted to the magnet 313 through the resistor plate 314 to heat the magnet 313, thereby making the magnet 313 lose its magnetism within 8 seconds.

[0067] The conductive jacking member 316 is a metal flexible mechanism, which functions to tighten the entire mechanism while the conductive connecting screw 317 and the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 are conducted, thereby avoiding a gap between structural members. The conductive connecting screw 317 has two functions: 1, the conductive connecting screw is an external connecting member; and 2, when the insulated positioning pad 318 is accidentally molten by high temperature, the tail of the conductive connecting screw 317 will be hung on the special-shaped hole of the metal shell 311 to prevent the magnetic tripping module from being disconnected from other connecting parts. An inner hexagonal groove of the insulated positioning pad 318 serves as a positioning groove for the conductive connecting screw 317, and an outer hexagonal boss serves as a positioning structure of the overall mechanism, thereby preventing the screw from rotating when the entire magnetic tripping module is installed. A nylon material serves as an insulated pad for separating the conductive connecting screw 317 from the metal shell 311.

[0068] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the magnetic tripping module is provided inside the disengaging unit 303, and is adsorbed onto the magnet adsorption surface 118 when operating at ordinary times. The aging of the lightning arresting core results in a thermal effect inside the magnetic tripping module, such that the magnet loses its efficacy at high temperature, which makes the disconnection unit 303 automatically disconnected from the magnet adsorption surface 118. Therefore, the lightning arresting core is tripped automatically. When the lightning arrester ages, a voltage leakage will occur. When the leakage voltage is below 1 kV, part of the current on a main transmission line will flow through the fuse to the lightning arrester connected in parallel to the main transmission line, and then to the magnetic tripping module, which will eventually heat the resistor plate and the magnet, thereby achieving a purpose of actuating the magnetic tripping module. When the leakage voltage is above 1 kV, after the current flows into the magnetic tripping module, the current will be blocked when it flows through a silicon carbide valve plate. Excessive voltage will break down air between the pot-shaped conductor plate and a metal aluminum shell to form a bypass after flowing through the pot-shaped conductor plate 315, such that the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 discharges electricity to the metal shell 311. During the discharge, the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 will instantly rise to a high temperature, to heat the resistor plate 314, and finally quickly heat the magnet 313, such that the magnet loses its efficacy, thereby achieving the purpose of actuating the magnetic tripping module.

[0069] The aging of the lightning arrester is a long process, but this process is not linear and traceable. At the beginning of aging, a voltage level of leakage energy will increase with the increase of aging, without excluding the possibility of sudden aging of the lightning arrester. The aging of the lightning arrester means that its resistance value begins to decrease. As the lightning arresting core ages, a voltage loaded on the resistor plate will rise, and a leakage voltage level of 1 kV or higher will appear. The leakage voltage threshold of 1 kV is related to the thickness of the resistor plate 314 and the breakdown voltage, and is an approximate value obtained after multiple tests. In the present invention, by accurately selecting the silicon carbide material, thickness and other parameters, a withstand voltage threshold of the resistor plate is about 1 kV. When the leakage voltage loaded on the resistor plate is less than 1 kV, the leakage current will flow through the lightning arresting core 302, the conductive connecting screw 317, the conductive jacking member 316, the pot-shaped conductor plate 315, the resistor plate 314, the magnet 313 and the metal cover 312 in sequence from a high-voltage U terminal in a direction shown in FIG. 7. The resistor plate 314 operates in a normal manner and continues to generate heat, and transfers the heat to the magnet to slowly heat the magnet. After long-time accumulation, the magnet reaches a certain temperature and loses its efficacy, such that the lightning arresting core falls off.

[0070] When the severe aging of the lightning arresting core leads to a sharp increase in leakage current, the leakage voltage loaded on the resistor plate is greater than 1 kV, and the resistor plate is broken down. The resistance value of the resistor plate drops sharply, and the leakage current will flow through a weak point at this time. Therefore, a 2 mm air discharge gap 320 between the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 and the metal shell 311 becomes the first choice. At this time, the voltage breaks through the air discharge gap 320, such that the current flows in a direction shown in FIG. 8, and flows through the conductive connecting screw 317, the conductive jacking member 316, and the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 in sequence from the high-voltage U terminal, with one path flowing through the broken-down resistor plate, the magnet 313 and the metal cover 312, and to a ground GND terminal; and the other path flowing through the air discharge gap 320, the metal shell 311 and the metal cover 312, and to the ground GND terminal. Therefore, the pot-shaped conductor plate 315 heats the resistor plate 314 by discharging electricity to the inner wall of the metal shell 311, and then heats the magnet 313, such that the magnet loses its magnetism quickly, thereby achieving a quick disengaging effect of the lightning arrester. A large number of tests have shown that the aged lightning arrester can fall off quickly within about 8 seconds.

Embodiment 3: Internal Anti-Falling Lightning Arrester and Lightning Arresting and Fusing Integrated Combination Device

[0071] An RW series drop-out fuse and an MOA series zinc oxide lightning arrester generally need to be installed at an offline position of a 10 kV distribution network terminal to provide overcurrent and lightning protection for a distribution transformer, wherein the 10 kV distribution transformer has three phases A, B, and C at the input end, and three sets of lightning arresting and fusing combination devices are installed on three phases of lines.

[0072] A conventional drop-out fuse is adopted. The drop-out fuse is a kind of common power equipment with isolation and protection properties in the power industry, which is mainly characterized in that a melt will be fused by heat generated by a current itself when the current exceeds a fuse rating, and an internal fuse wire forms a tension with a drop-out mechanism in a fusion tube. When the wire melt is fused and loses its tension, the drop-out structure disconnect a fusion tube body from a system power supply by means of the gravity, to form an obvious disconnection distance.

[0073] Similar to Embodiment 1, the lightning arrester is made of a zinc oxide material. The lightning arrester is installed and connected between a power supply line and the earth, and is usually used in parallel with protected equipment. Once a high voltage occurs and endangers the insulation of the protected equipment, the lightning arrester immediately releases an overvoltage action to the earth and directs the high-voltage impact to the earth, thereby limiting a voltage amplitude and protecting the self insulation between a power supply cable and the equipment. When the overvoltage disappears, the lightning arrester quickly returns to its original state, allowing the power supply line to operate normally.

[0074] As shown in FIGS. 9-11, the lightning arresting and fusing combination device of the present invention includes a fuse 4, an insulator main body 1, a bell-mouth main body 2 and a lightning arrester body 3. The lightning arrester body 3 is installed inside the insulator main body 1, and the bell-mouth main body 2 is coupled to a mouth portion at the lower end of the insulator main body 1 through threads.

[0075] In FIG. 9, an upper-end fixing member 105 is connected to the upper part of the insulator main body 1 and the upper part of the fuse 4. The upper-end fixing member 105 is connected to a high-voltage wire inlet end of an external transmission line. The upper-end fixing member 105 functions as an upper-end fixing part of the fuse, has a mounting hole in which a standard fuse can be installed, and also serves as a high-voltage wire inlet end of the entire equipment.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, a lower-end fixing member 106 is connected to the lower part of the insulator main body 1 and the lower part of the fuse 4. The lower-end fixing member 106 serves as a lower-end fixing member of the fuse and plays a dual role of connecting a low-voltage wire outlet end and the wire inlet end of the lightning arrester. The lower-end fixing member 106 is connected to the input end of one of three phases A, B, and C of power equipment such as a transformer on the one hand, and is communicated with the lower end of the lightning arrester body 3 on the other hand.

[0077] In FIG. 12, one end of the lower-end fixing member 106 is a straight end, and the other end of the lower-end fixing member 106 is an annular end. The straight end part is provided with a fuse fixing hole 110, and coupled to the standard fuse and a fuse wire outlet end 402 through bolts 401. The annular end sleeves an insulating tube lower port 103, and is provided with a positioning hole 111. The annular end is positioned at a position set by the insulating tube lower port 103 by a positioning screw 109. The bell-mouth main body 2 is closely clung to the insulating tube lower port 103 against the annular end of the lower-end fixing member 106, in order to ensure that the lower-end fixing member 106 and the bell-mouth main body 2 are electrically conducted. The fuse and the insulator main body 1 are fixedly combined into integrated equipment by means of the upper-end fixing member 105 and the lower-end fixing member 106.

[0078] The insulator main body 1 has a sealed cylinder structure, and an intermediate fixing member 107 is provided at an outer ring in the middle of the insulator main body 1. The intermediate fixing member 107 is connected to a ground terminal of the power equipment and the earth. An iron magnet adsorption block 108 is provided in a cabin of the insulator main body 1 and fixedly connected to the intermediate fixing member 107, for adsorbing and fixing the lightning arrester body 3 at a set position inside the insulator main body. The first role of the intermediate fixing member 107 is to act as an external connecting member of the entire structure. This part has two connecting holes in one end, and may be fixed to a crossarm on an electric pole, such that the whole device can be fixed by one crossarm. The second role of the intermediate fixing member 107 is to act as a ground terminal connector of the lightning arrester. The third role of the intermediate fixing member 107 is to be connected to the magnet adsorption block 108 through a bolt to provide a firm position for fixing the magnet adsorption block 108. The upper end of the lightning arrester body 3 is adsorbed to the magnet adsorption block 108 by a magnetic force, and is connected to the intermediate fixing member 107. The magnet adsorption surface 118 is machined on the lower end surface of the magnet adsorption block 108 and configured to attract the magnet inside the disconnection unit 303.

[0079] The insulator main body 1 includes an insulating tube 102 with an upper end sealed. An outer ring of the insulating tube 102 is sleeved with an umbrella skirt main body 101. The insulating tube 102 is made of a glass fiber tube. The umbrella skirt main body 101 is made by pressing silicone rubber subjected to vulcanization treatment on the insulating tube. An outer ring of the insulating tube lower port 103 is provided with a tube bottom outer thread 104 for the fixed connection of the bell-mouth main body 2. The bell-mouth main body 2 is made of aluminum or other conductive materials. The bell-mouth main body 2 is fixed onto the insulator main body 1 by a thread at the insulating tube lower port 103, and is electrically connected to the lower-end fixing member 106. A thread, a positioning groove and a mounting hole are machined on the insulating tube 102 to provide mounting positions for all structural parts. A solid glass fiber rod is provided in the insulating tube 102 at the upper part of the intermediate fixing member 107. The solid glass fiber rod functions firstly to seal and fill the upper end portion of the insulating tube 102; and also prevents the upper-end fixing member from and the intermediate fixing member 107 from being conducted to discharge electricity.

[0080] When in use, the lightning arrester body 3 is integrally installed into the insulating tube 102, and the magnet 313 will adsorb the lightning arrester body 3 onto the magnet adsorption block 108. At this time, the lightning arrester body 3 completes the ground connection. The magnet adsorption block 108 serves as a magnet adsorption point to provide a reliable attraction force for the entire lightning arrester body 3, and at the same time serves as an intermediate point connecting the lightning arrester body 3 and a ground wire. A metal conductive part at the lower end of the lightning arrester body 3 and the bell-mouth main body 2 are conducted. At this time, the lightning arrester body 3 completes the connection of the high-voltage wire inlet end, thereby completing the installation of the entire lighting arrester body 3. The bell-mouth main body 2 is structurally characterized in that the lower end is horn-shaped. This structure facilitates the installation of the lightning arrester body 3 and provides a larger installation aperture and guiding effect. The bell-mouth main body 2 is made of aluminum, and plated with a conductive layer on its outer surface, and functions as an intermediate structure connecting the lower-end fixing member 106 and the lightning arrester body 3.

[0081] When the lightning arrester operates normally before aging, the current flows in from an upper port of the fuse 4 and flows out from a lower port of the fuse 4 in case of no overvoltage, without passing through the lightning arrester connected in parallel with the fuse 4. When an overvoltage case occurs, the overvoltage flows in from the upper port of the fuse 4 and flows to the lower-end fixing member 106 at the lower port of the fuse 4. The lower-end fixing member 106 directs the overvoltage into the bell-mouth main body 2 connected to thereto. The bell-mouth main body 2 causes the overvoltage flow to the extension rod 301 of the lightning arrester, which is connected to the bell-mouth main body 2. The extension rod 301 directs the overvoltage into the lightning arresting core 302 connected thereto, and then into the ground through the magnetic tripping module, thereby avoiding a safety accident.

[0082] As shown in FIG. 13, the lightning arrester body 3 includes the disconnection unit 303, the lightning arresting core 302 and the extension rod 301 which are provided from top to bottom. A brim 304 is provided at the end of the disconnection unit 303. A conductive convex ring 305 is provided between the lightning arresting core 302 and the extension rod 301. A magnet and other accessories are provided inside the disconnection unit 303. When the lightning arresting core has an aging failure, the gap discharge inside the disconnection will cause the magnet to lose its magnetism at a high temperature for a short time in the case of lightning or overvoltage, such that the lightning arrester body 3 will naturally fall off.

[0083] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the outside of the bell-mouth main body 2 is of a horn structure, and a mounting thread 201, a washer mounting groove 202, a washer movable groove 203 and a conductive contact surface 204 are sequentially provided inside the bell-mouth main body 2 from top to bottom. The mounting thread 201 is matched with the tube bottom outer thread 104 at the lower part of the insulating tube in terms of parameters, and the bell-mouth main body 2 is fixed to the insulating tube lower port 103.

[0084] The washer mounting groove 202 is used to fix a claw-type washer 200. The protrusion 208 of an elastic claw 207 positionally corresponds to the washer movable groove 203. An inner diameter and a width of the washer movable groove 203 are larger than an outer diameter of the protrusion 208 respectively, which reserves a movable space for an elastic part of the elastic claw 207 to ensure its telescopic function. The upper surface of a limiting groove 209 is a conductive contact surface 204. When the lightning arrester body is installed in place, the conductive contact surface 204 and the conductive convex ring 305 on the lightning arrester body 3 are fully in contact with each other for electric conduction.

[0085] The claw-type washer 200 includes a mounting ring 205 and a plurality of elastic claws 207 provided at the lower part of the mounting ring 205. The top of each elastic claw 207 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 205 as a whole. Each elastic claw 207 bends inward to form a protrusion 208 in the middle. A mouth portion 210 of each elastic claw has an outwardly flared structure, which facilitates the installation of the lightning arrester body 3 from below. A mounting notch 206 is provided on one side of a ring body of the mounting ring 205. The mounting notch 206 penetrates through the entire ring body and functions to provide a shrinkage structure for the mounting ring 205, thereby facilitating the installation of the claw-shaped washer 200 inside the bell-mouth main body 2.

[0086] During installation, the first step is to hold the mounting ring 205 of the claw-type washer 200 with hands, such that the mounting ring 205 partially overlaps with the mounting gap 206. Then, the claw-shaped washer 200 is fixed inside the bell-mouth main body 2 from the lower part of the bell-mouth main body 2, wherein the mounting ring 205 is fixed at the washer mounting groove 202. The second step is to fasten the bell-mouth main body 2 to the lower part of the insulator main body 1 through threads. The third step is to install the lightning arrester body 3 from the lower part of the bell-mouth main body 2. The brim 304 of the lightning arrester body 3 can overcome the elastic force of the claw-shaped washer 200 as long as it is pushed upward. At this moment, the washer movable groove 203 reserves an elastic space for the protrusion 208 of each elastic claw 207, such that the lightning arrester body 3 is installed at a set position inside the insulator main body 1.

[0087] As shown in FIG. 17, the top of the lightning arrester body 3 is adsorbed to the magnet adsorption block 108 arranged in the middle of the insulator by means of the magnet inside the disconnection unit 303, and meanwhile, the conductive contact surface 204 is fully in contact with the conductive convex ring 305 on the lighting arrester body 3 to conduct electricity.

[0088] As shown in FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, when the aged lightning arrester body 3 falls off from the inside of the insulator main body 1, the brim 304 of the lightning arrester body 3 is just stuck on the protrusions 208 of the elastic claws 207, and the protrusions 208 provide resistance to prevent the brim 304 from passing through. An operator sleeves the lower end of the lightning arrester body with a device, and applies a downward pulling force to deform the elastic claws 207, such that the brim 304 passes through the bell-mouth main body 2, thereby realizing the disassembly of the lightning arrester body 3, The lighting arrester body 3 can be replaced by repeating the above steps.

[0089] For a person of ordinary skill in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions and modifications made to these embodiments, without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention, still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
