Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of experimental testing equipment, in particular to an automatic lifting type tidal corrosion simulation experimental device. Background Art

[0002] During the service of marine engineering materials, the corrosion environment they are in includes five zones: marine atmosphere zone, wave splash zone, seawater tidal zone, seawater full immersion zone, and seabed mud zone. The tidal zone refers to the area between the average low tide level and the average high tide level of seawater. Due to the movement of tides and ocean currents, the oxygen content of seawater is relatively high. The environmental characteristics of metal components in the tidal zone are that they are immersed in seawater during high tide and exposed to the air during low tide. The frequent alternation of dry and wet makes the surface salt concentration very high. The tidal zone is located between high water level and low water level. At high water level, the material is immersed in oxygen-rich seawater to produce seawater corrosion, and at low water level, it is in contact with air to cause atmospheric corrosion. The seawater in the tidal zone is in contact with the air, and oxygen is easy to reach, resulting in the formation of an oxygen concentration gradient at different locations in the tidal zone. Due to the different oxygen concentrations in seawater at different locations in the tidal zone, an oxygen concentration difference battery is formed, which causes oxygen concentration difference corrosion of the materials in the tidal zone. In the tidal zone-full immersion zone, the tidal waterline moves back and forth, and the corrosion potential and current of the metal in this environment will change. The long specimens in the tidal range area and the full immersion area will form macroscopic corrosion cells, which are quite different from the corrosion of the short specimens in the same position. Therefore, studying the corrosion behavior of specimens in the tidal range area is of great significance for studying the corrosion state of marine structures.

[0003] In order to intuitively study the law of corrosion potential changes of materials in real sea environment with the rise and fall of tide level, domestic and foreign researchers have accumulated corrosion data of typical metal materials in tidal range areas through real sea hanging test. The corrosion of metal materials in different positions in the tidal range area is also different. During the tide, when the metal material is immersed in seawater, the surface of the material changes from a dry state to a wet state, the solution resistance changes, and the corrosion potential shifts positively; during the ebb tide, as the liquid film gradually evaporates, the surface of the material becomes drier and drier, the solution resistance increases, and the corrosion potential of the metal material continues to decrease; after being exposed to the water surface, the potential continues to decrease until it experiences the tide again and the potential increases. The corrosion rate in the mid-tide area is faster than that in the high tide area and the low tide area. As the tide level decreases, the open circuit potential continues to decrease. The cathode process in the highest tide area is mainly controlled by oxygen reduction, and the cathode process in the mid- and low tide areas is controlled by rust reduction during the tide, and controlled by oxygen reduction during the ebb tide. The potential change process in the lowest tide area has nothing to do with the rise and fall of tides.

[0004] Although the results obtained from the real sea coupon corrosion experiment are consistent with the actual situation, the data is true and accurate. However, the experimental cycle is long, consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is difficult to reflect the mechanism of action of a single factor, which is not suitable for the study of corrosion mechanism. Electrochemical tests in the laboratory can quickly reflect the corrosion tendency and law of materials, but the accuracy is still far behind that of real sea coupons. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a large-scale tidal zone simulation device to simulate the corrosion law of any tidal speed such as semi-diurnal tide and full-day tide in the tidal range zone of seawater, and to scientifically evaluate the corrosion resistance of materials and coatings in the tidal range zone.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] See attached Figure 1-2 The present embodiment discloses an automatic lifting type tidal corrosion simulation experimental device, including an experimental pool 1, an experimental test piece 17, a base 15 and a fixed platform 16. The experimental pool 1 is connected with an inlet pipe 2 and a drainage pipe 13. The inlet pipe and the drainage pipe are provided with a solenoid valve 12. The side wall of the experimental pool 1 is fixed with an experimental test piece 17 through a vertical rod 17-3. The fixed platform 16 is fixed to the bottom of the experimental pool 1 through the base 15. An air pipe 3 is provided above one side of the fixed platform 16, and a column 5 is installed above the other side. The column 5 is provided with four pillars, and the other end of the column 5 is provided with a A mounting plate is arranged, a motor 4 is installed above the mounting plate, an output end of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to a screw rod 6, a connecting plate 7 is sleeved on the screw rod 6, the bottom surface of the connecting plate 7 is connected to a water level control plate 9 through a connecting column 8, a water outlet 18 is arranged in the middle of the water level control plate 9, a low tide limit plate 10 is fixed on the corresponding column 5 below the water level control plate 9, a through hole is arranged in the middle position of the low tide limit plate 10, the through hole is connected to a connecting pipeline 14, a three-way pipeline 11 is arranged at the bottom of the fixed platform 16, and the three-way pipeline 11 is respectively connected to the connecting pipeline 14, the air pipeline 3 and the drainage pipeline 13.

[0026] In order to realize automatic control, the motor 4 and the solenoid valves 12 on the water inlet pipeline and the drainage pipeline are all communicatively connected with the control module.

[0027] Particularly, the depth of the experimental water pool is greater than 5 m, and the movement displacement of the water level control plate 9 is greater than 2 m.

[0028] It should be noted that a water outlet pipe is provided below the water level control plate 9 corresponding to the water outlet 18 , and the water outlet pipe is connected to the connecting pipeline 14 .

[0029] The water outlet pipe may be a retractable hose or a sleeve with a diameter smaller than that of the connecting pipeline. When the water level control panel 9 is at the highest position, the water outlet pipe is still located inside the connecting pipeline 14 .

[0030] Reference Figure 3In this embodiment, the experimental test piece 17 includes an electrical connection test piece 17-1, a wire 17-2 and a vertical rod 17-3. There are multiple electrical connection test pieces 17-1, and the multiple electrical connection test pieces 17-1 are electrically connected through the wire 17-2. The electrical connection test piece 17-1 runs through the entire highest water level and the lowest water level to ensure that the uppermost test piece is still above the water level and not submerged at the highest water level, and the lowermost test piece does not appear above the water surface at the lowest water level.

[0031] In addition, the vertical pole 17-3 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material.

[0032] When this embodiment is actually used, the device can automatically control the motor through the control module, and the motor drives the water level control plate to move up and down, and arbitrarily adjust the height of the seawater level in the experimental pool. At the same time, the displacement height of the high tide level plate and the low tide level plate is greater than 2m, which can effectively simulate the corrosion conditions in sea areas with large tidal ranges.

[0033] The principle of water level change in the experimental pool of this embodiment is as follows: under the experimental state, the water inlet pipe 2 and the drainage pipe 13 are in a normally open state, and the motor drives the water level control plate to move up and down. Since a water outlet is provided in the middle position of the water level control plate, the lower part of the water outlet is connected to the connecting pipe through a water outlet pipe. When the water inflow of the water inlet pipe 2 exceeds the water level control plate, water passes through the connecting pipe and the three-way pipe from the water outlet and is discharged through the drainage pipe. The air pipe can balance the water pressure and facilitate drainage. When the water inflow of the water inlet pipe is small and the water level is lower than the water level control plate, the control module controls the solenoid valve of the water inlet pipe to open wider to increase the water inflow. At the same time, the solenoid valve of the drainage pipe is opened narrower or closed to reduce the drainage volume, thereby realizing water level control.

The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the essence and protection scope of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
