Abstract
The present invention relates to a lightning protection and grounding device for a vehicle including: a dipole lightning rod mounted on the vehicle to in advance remove the focusing of an electric field of a lightning strike and to induce the discharge of lightning current when the lightning strike is induced thereto; grounding means disposed on earth to allow the lightning current of the lightning strike induced to the dipole lightning rod to flow to the earth; a connection terminal box adapted to connect the dipole lightning rod and the grounding means with each other; and a lifting driving unit adapted to move the dipole lightning rod in upward and downward directions.
Claims6
A lightning prevention and grounding device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a dipole lightning rod mounted on the vehicle to in advance remove the focusing of an electric field of a lightning strike and to induce the discharge of lightning current when the lightning strike is induced thereto;
- grounding means disposed on earth to allow the lightning current of the lightning strike induced to the dipole lightning rod to flow to the earth;
- a connection terminal box adapted to connect the dipole lightning rod and the grounding means with each other;
- and
- a lifting driving unit mounted on the vehicle to move the dipole lightning rod in upward and downward directions,
- wherein the lifting driving unit comprises:
- a housing box having an entrance/exit formed on the upper portion thereof;
- ladder members accommodated into the housing box in such a manner as to be telescopically extended and contracted;
- and
- deviation prevention means adapted to prevent the ladder members adjacently disposed up and down from being deviated from each other;
- and
- wherein each ladder member comprises:
- vertical members spaced apart from each other on one side and the other side thereof and having a hollow guide hole formed therein;
- a connection member connecting the vertical members with each other;
- and
- a locking hole formed on the lower portion of the vertical members.
