Description
This dataset is a market dataset, representing the consumption market of the region; the dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumer end, and the transport service is calculated according to the transport situation of this product in this region. The product represented by this dataset is a free-standing lightning rod, which is a lightning protection device installed near a building and not directly connected to the building, with a single-piece weight of about 3.71 kg, mainly composed of steel (angle steel, round steel, etc.) and zinc, and components (steel, electronic components, plastics, rubber, etc.), made through processes such as straightening, electric heating, hot zinc spraying, cooling, cutting and assembly. The key upstream raw materials of this product are steel, zinc and components such as electronic components, plastics and rubber, and downstream it is mainly applied in the lightning protection of civil buildings, factory buildings, schools, warehouses and important buildings. In terms of system boundary, the packaging of the product and the transport, use, scrapping, recycling and final disposal after leaving the factory, as well as infrastructure such as the manufacture of production equipment and the construction of plant buildings, are not included within the dataset boundary. In terms of data sources and data processing, the data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources.
Activity Description
The system boundary is the independent lightning rod from the cradle-to-gate, the starting point is the input of raw materials, and the end point is the finished independent lightning rod leaving the factory. The main stages include, in order, straightening (steel), electric heating, thermal spraying (zinc), cooling, cutting and assembly.
Process Description
Lightning rods are devices used to protect buildings, tall trees, etc. from lightning strikes. They are mainly divided into independent lightning rods and frame-type lightning rods. An independent lightning rod is a relatively independent device that is usually installed near a building and not directly connected to the building. It is generally made of angle steel, round steel and other materials, and is fixed on the ground through bolts or welding. It is mainly composed of steel (angle steel, round steel, etc.), hot-sprayed zinc layer and parts (steel, electronic components, plastics, rubber, etc.). It is in the form of a rod-shaped or tower-shaped device. It is widely used in lightning protection of general civil buildings, factories, schools, warehouses and important buildings.

Technology comment
The production of independent lightning rods mainly includes processes such as straightening, electric heating, thermal spray zinc, cooling, cutting and assembly. After the steel is straightened by the straightening machine, it is heated by a heating machine and hot-sprayed with zinc. After cooling, it is cut and then assembled with parts (steel, electronic components, plastics, rubber, etc.) to obtain the finished independent lightning rod.
