TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal protection, in particular to a sacrificial anode anticorrosion device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The sacrificial anode anticorrosion device is a kind of cathodic protection technology based on electrochemistry principle, which protects the target metal from corrosion by sacrificing the metal with higher activity. Its core structure contains two key parts, one is the sacrificial anode, usually selected from zinc, aluminum, magnesium and their alloys, which have lower potential and are more easily oxidized; the other is the protected body, which is the metal structure that needs to be protected, such as pipelines, storage tanks, ships, etc. When working, the sacrificial anode and the protected body are electrically connected through wires or direct contact, and are both in the electrolyte environment such as soil and seawater. Because the anode has stronger electrochemical activity, it will preferentially undergo oxidation reaction, that is, "sacrifice" itself and release electrons, which flow to the protected body through the electrical connection, making its surface always in a cathodic state of electron excess, thereby inhibiting the oxidation corrosion reaction of the protected body itself and prolonging its service life.
[0003] When carrying out cathodic protection operation in water scenes such as water surface and sea surface, two core problems are faced. On the one hand, the device is difficult to fix. In such scenes, the traditional fixing method is easy to loosen and displace due to the influence of water flow impact, wave swing and tide change, which leads to the decrease of the electrical connection stability between the sacrificial anode and the protected body, directly weakening the anticorrosion effect, and even causing local corrosion risk. On the other hand, the anode block is inconvenient to maintain. Because the existing anode blocks are arranged too closely, they not only hinder daily inspection and make it difficult to quickly check the anode wear condition, but also are limited by space when replacing the failed anode, which leads to low operation efficiency, increases maintenance cost and operation safety hazard, and seriously affects the long-term stable operation of the overall cathodic protection system. SUMMARY

[0014] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0015] Combined with appendix Figure 2 A sacrificial anode corrosion protection device includes: a base 1, a hollow floating ring 2 fixedly disposed at the center of the bottom surface, and airbags 3 fixedly disposed at the four corners of the bottom surface. The airbags 3 are provided with inflation ports 14. The inflation ports 14 can flexibly control the inflation and deflation of the airbags 3. The base 1 can be made to float stably on the water surface by inflation to meet the underwater corrosion protection requirements. The device can also be conveniently stored or transported after deflation, which improves the flexibility of use.
[0016] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 A connecting ring 4 is fixedly provided on one side of the base 1. The connecting ring 4 is composed of two sets of oppositely arranged semi-circular rods. The joint ends of the semi-circular rods in the same set are fixed by screws, so that the connecting ring 4 can be opened and closed flexibly, which is convenient for quick fixation or disassembly to external structures (such as sea piles or ship hulls). At the same time, the screw connection can ensure the connection strength and prevent the device from shifting.
[0017] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4 The placement rack 5 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. Its inner side is divided into several placement cavities by a partition 6. The partition 6 is provided with a positioning groove. The placement rack 5 is a semi-cylindrical shape with an opening facing forward, which is adapted to the arc-shaped contour of the anode block shell 9. Several reinforcing strips 15 are fixed between the edge of the partition 6 and the inner wall of the placement rack 5 to enhance the connection stability between the partition 6 and the placement rack 5. A semi-circular support plate 16 extends forward from the middle of the partition 6 to further support the anode block, prevent it from shifting during shaking, and improve the overall structural stability.
[0018] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 5 The positioning plate 7 is fixedly installed on the front edge above the base 1. It has positioning holes 8 that correspond one-to-one with the placement cavity. The wall of the positioning hole 8 is a smooth arc surface, and the hole diameter is small in the middle and large on both sides. This can reduce the friction loss when the wire 10 passes through, extend the life of the wire, and form a slight clamping effect on the wire 10 to prevent the wire from shifting due to water flow impact and ensure conductivity stability.
[0019] Combined with appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 4Anode block is arranged in the placing cavity, and is externally wrapped with a shell 9 which is tightly clamped in the positioning groove. A wire 10 is connected to the anode block, and the other end of the wire 10 extends out of the shell 9 and is connected to a cathode connecting block 11 through the positioning hole 8. The shell can protect the anode block and further improve the corrosion resistance.
[0020] The accompanying drawings are referred to in the description of the application Figure 1 The accompanying drawings are referred to in the description of the application Figure 3 The accompanying drawings are referred to in the description of the application Figure 4 A protective baffle 12 is arranged above the placing rack 5 and is inclinedly arranged and fixed on the base 1 through a support 13. The protective baffle 12 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves which extend in the inclined direction of the protective baffle 12 and can quickly guide rainwater, seawater or sundries to one side to be discharged, so that impurities are prevented from being accumulated above the placing rack 5 and the shell 9 of the anode block is prevented from being corroded or blocked, and the normal work of the anode block is ensured.
[0021] Specific embodiments of the application: Before use, the air bags 3 at the four corners of the bottom surface of the base 1 are inflated through the inflation ports 14 of the air bags 3, and the hollow floating ring 2 at the center of the bottom surface is matched, so that the base 1 is stably floated on the water surface. If storage and transportation are needed, the volume can be reduced by deflating the air bags 3 through the inflation ports 14. Then, the connecting ring 4 is opened: the screws at the joint ends of the two groups of opposite semicircular rods are unscrewed, the connecting ring 4 is sleeved on the external structure such as a pile or a ship body, and then the screws are tightened to be fixed, so that the device is prevented from being displaced.
[0022] Then, the anode block with the shell 9 is placed in the placing rack 5 which is a semicylindrical structure with an opening facing forward and is matched with the arc-shaped profile of the shell 9. The shell 9 is tightly clamped in the positioning groove of the partition plate 6, and the semicircular supporting plate 16 at the middle of the partition plate 6 further supports the anode block to prevent the anode block from shaking and deviating. The wire 10 connected to the anode block is taken out, and one end of the wire 10 extends out of the shell 9 and passes through the positioning hole 8 corresponding to the placing cavity on the positioning plate 7. The positioning hole 8 is designed to slightly clamp the wire 10, and finally the cathode connecting block 11 at the other end of the wire 10 is connected to the external structure to be protected from corrosion.
[0023] In use, the inclined protective baffle 12 above the placing rack 5 will discharge rainwater, seawater or sundries to one side through the guide grooves, so that the accumulation of the rainwater, seawater or sundries is prevented from affecting the work of the anode block. When the anode block is replaced, the cathode connecting block 11 is disconnected, the wire 10 is pulled out of the positioning hole 8, and the old shell 9 of the anode block is directly taken out from the groove of the partition plate 6 for replacement.
