Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] Example:
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a negative electrode tooling for a storage tank is installed as follows: The tank cover 2 is installed by placing a sealing groove cover plate 3 at the top center of the sealing groove on the inner wall of the tank cover 2 to ensure a good seal and prevent impurities from entering the groove and affecting the operation of subsequent transmission components. One end of a transmission rod 4 is inserted through and rotatably connected to one side of the outer wall of the tank cover 2. An adjusting handle 5 is installed at the input end of the transmission rod 4, ensuring that the adjusting handle 5 is securely installed and rotates freely. A driving bevel gear 6 is installed at the end of the transmission rod 4 located inside the tank cover 2, ensuring that the driving bevel gear 6 is coaxial with the transmission rod 4 and is tightly fixed. An internally threaded sleeve 8 is inserted through and rotatably connected at the bottom center of the inner wall of the sealing groove. Then, a driven bevel gear 7 is installed at the top center of the internally threaded sleeve 8. The positions of the driving bevel gear 6 and the driven bevel gear 7 are adjusted to ensure they mesh with a uniform tooth gap.
[0029] Lifting and Cathode Rod 11 Installation: Screw the lifting threaded rod 9 into the middle position of the inner wall of the internal threaded sleeve 8, ensuring a good thread fit. Install the connecting plate 10 at the middle position of the bottom of the lifting threaded rod 9 and fix it by welding to ensure a firm connection. Install the cathode rod 11 at the middle position of the bottom of the connecting plate 10, and fix it by welding as well, ensuring a good electrical connection between the cathode rod 11 and the connecting plate 10 and that it is vertically downward. Install fixing blocks 14 on both sides of the preset installation position of the limiting rod 17 at the upper middle position of the inner wall of the insulating layer 21. Limiting grooves 15 are opened on the two side walls of the fixing blocks 14 respectively, and the limiting blocks 16 are installed in the middle position of the inner wall of the limiting grooves 15, allowing them to slide freely.
[0030] According to the working condition of the storage tank and the previous calculation, the limiting rod 17 is penetrated through the fixing groove in the middle position of one side wall of the connecting plate 10, and the two ends of the limiting rod 17 are connected with the two side walls of the limiting block 16, so as to preliminarily fix the height and position of the cathode rod 11, and ensure that the cathode rod 11 can smoothly ascend and descend in the inner side wall of the insulating layer 21. The anode rod 12 and the whole storage tank are installed: the insulating layer 21 is installed at the outer side position of the middle inner side wall of the storage tank body 1, so as to ensure firm installation and complete coverage of the predetermined area. According to the design requirement, the anode rod 12 is fixedly installed below the cathode rod 11 at the middle bottom position of the inner side wall of the insulating layer 21. A plurality of through holes 13 are arranged in an array on the outer side wall of the anode rod 12, so as to increase the contact area with the electrolyte solution. The tank cover 2 with all the installed parts is installed back to the top of the storage tank body 1, so as to ensure good sealing and firm connection.
[0031] The feeding port 20 is installed at the top of the middle position of one side wall of the storage tank body 1, and the discharging port 18 is installed at the bottom of the middle position, and the sealing property of each interface is checked.
[0032] Height adjustment test: slowly rotate the adjusting handle 5, observe the rotation of the driving bevel gear 6 driven by the transmission rod 4, and then check whether the driven bevel gear 7 and the inner threaded sleeve 8 rotate smoothly. With the rotation of the inner threaded sleeve 8, the cathode rod 11 is stably lifted and lowered by the lifting threaded rod 9. Through multiple adjustments, the lifting effect of the cathode rod 11 at different heights is tested, so as to ensure that there is no jamming and abnormal noise in the adjustment process, the cooperation of the limiting rod 17 and the fixing groove, the limiting block 16 and the limiting groove 15 is normal, and the position of the cathode rod 11 can be effectively limited and prevented from rotating.
[0033] Cathodic protection performance test: weak acid electrolyte solution is injected into the storage tank to a predetermined liquid level. Using professional electrochemical test instruments, the potential difference between the cathode rod 11 and the anode rod 12, and the potential distribution at different positions of the storage tank body 1 are measured. According to the measured data, it is judged whether the cathodic protection system works normally. Through the test, the potentials of all parts of the storage tank body 1 are within the effective potential range of cathodic protection, which indicates that the anode rod 12 normally occurs oxidation reaction, the released electrons are conducted to the cathode rod 11 through the electrolyte solution, and then the storage tank body 1 is protected.
[0034] In summary: when the height of the cathode rod 11 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting handle 5 is rotated. The adjusting handle 5 drives the transmission rod 4 to rotate, and the other end of the transmission rod 4 is connected to the driving bevel gear 6, which is rotated. Since the driving bevel gear 6 is in mesh with the driven bevel gear 7, the driven bevel gear 7 also begins to rotate. The driven bevel gear 7 is installed at the top of the inner threaded sleeve 8, so the inner threaded sleeve 8 rotates. The inner wall of the inner threaded sleeve 8 is in threaded connection with the lifting threaded rod 9. With the rotation of the inner threaded sleeve 8, the lifting threaded rod 9 moves up and down along the axial direction of the inner threaded sleeve 8 under the action of the thread, and then drives the bottom connecting plate 10 and the cathode rod 11 to realize lifting, so that the height of the cathode rod 11 can be flexibly adjusted according to the working condition requirements in the storage tank.
[0035] The limiting and stabilizing mechanism: a plurality of fixed grooves are arranged on one side wall of the connecting plate 10, and the limiting rod 17 penetrates one of the fixed grooves to achieve preliminary positioning. The fixed blocks 14 are installed on the inner side wall of the insulating layer 21 at the upper end and located on both sides of the limiting rod 17. Limiting grooves 15 are arranged on the two side walls of the fixed blocks 14, and the limiting blocks 16 slide in the limiting grooves 15, and the two side walls of the limiting blocks 16 are connected with the two ends of the limiting rod 17. When the cathode rod 11 is lifted, the limiting rod 17 drives the limiting block 16 to slide in the limiting groove 15, which on the one hand limits the rotation of the connecting plate 10 and the cathode rod 11, and on the other hand, the fixed grooves at different positions cooperate with the limiting rod 17 to further stabilize the position of the cathode rod 11 after the height of the cathode rod 11 is adjusted, preventing the cathode rod 11 from being deviated due to the impact of the medium flowing in the storage tank and other factors.
[0036] Cathodic protection mechanism: the insulating layer 21 is installed on the inner side wall of the storage tank body 1 at the middle outer side position, and the cathode rod 11 and the anode rod 12 constitute a cathodic protection system inside the insulating layer 21. The medium stored in the storage tank usually has a certain conductivity and can be used as an electrolyte solution. The anode rod 12 is made of a more active metal material than the metal of the storage tank body 1, such as a magnesium rod or a zinc rod. In the electrolyte solution, the anode rod 12 will undergo oxidation reaction and release electrons, which are conducted to the cathode rod 11 through the medium. Since the storage tank body 1 is connected with the cathode rod 11, the storage tank body 1 becomes a cathode and is protected by obtaining electrons, avoiding corrosion. A plurality of arrayed through holes 13 are arranged on the outer side wall of the anode rod 12, which increases the contact area of the anode rod 12 with the electrolyte solution, so that the anode rod 12 can more fully undergo oxidation reaction, improving the cathodic protection effect.
[0037] Other auxiliary functions: the sealing groove cover plate 3 installed on the top of the tank cover 2 is used for sealing the sealing groove of the inner side wall of the tank cover 2, preventing dust, impurities and the like from entering, protecting the transmission components such as the internal threaded sleeve 8 and the bevel gear in the groove, and prolonging the service life thereof. The feed inlet 20 installed on the top of the middle position of the side wall of the storage tank body 1 is used for injecting the storage medium into the storage tank; the discharge port 18 installed at the bottom middle position is used for discharging the medium in the storage tank, meeting the normal storage use requirements of the storage tank.
