Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of buried pipeline cathode protection, in particular to a buried pipeline cathode protection device. Background Art
[0002] Cathodic protection for buried pipelines is an important anti-corrosion technology widely used in various scenarios where metal corrosion prevention is necessary, particularly in oil and gas pipelines, storage tanks, and urban infrastructure. Cathodic protection is a form of electrochemical protection. Its basic principle is to apply an impressed current to the surface of the protected metal structure, turning it into a cathode. This inhibits the electron migration that occurs during metal corrosion, thereby preventing or reducing corrosion. When the potential of a metal is negative below a certain value, the anodic dissolution process of corrosion is effectively suppressed. This effect is known as the cathodic protection effect. To improve installation efficiency, traditional cathodic protection devices for buried pipelines typically place a metal block serving as a sacrificial anode in the soil surrounding the pipeline. However, when the metal block reaches a certain level of wear and needs to be replaced, it will shift position due to sedimentation, requiring manual excavation to locate it. This makes replacement inconvenient, impacting work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0019] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0020] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5As shown, a buried pipeline cathodic protection device includes a test pile 1 and a sacrificial anode 2. The test pile 1 and the sacrificial anode 2 are connected by a wire, and the test pile 1 is also connected to the buried pipeline 3 by a wire. A connector 4 is fixedly mounted on the sacrificial anode 2. The connector 4 consists of a fixed collar 7, a connecting plate 8 and a fixed shaft 10. There are several connecting plates 8 and they are distributed in an annular shape on the outer wall of the fixed collar 7. There are several fixed shafts 10 and they are fixedly installed in several connecting plates 8 respectively. An anti-settling component 5 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 10. The anti-settling component 5 consists of a connecting plate 8. The connecting column 11 is composed of an anti-settling plate 13, and the anti-settling plate 13 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the connecting column 11. The sacrificial anode 2 is also provided with a support member 6, which is located below the connecting member 4. The support member 6 is composed of an internal thread ring 14 and a support ring 15. The support ring 15 is fixedly sleeved on the internal thread ring 14. When the sacrificial anode 2 is buried in the soil, the anti-settling component 5 can be rotated 90 degrees with the fixed axis 10 on the connecting member 4 as the axis, so that the anti-settling component 5 and the sacrificial anode 2 are perpendicular to each other, and then the support member 6 can be set on the sacrificial anode 2. The anode 2 is placed on the support 6, and at the same time, the support member 6 is rotated on the thread provided on the outer wall of the upper side of the sacrificial anode 2, and finally the support ring 15 on the support member 6 will be against the lower end of the connecting column 11 on the anti-settling component 5. At this time, the anti-settling component 5 will be fixed by the support member 6, and then the sacrificial anode 2 can be erected and buried in the soil. By providing the connecting member 4 on the sacrificial anode 2 and the anti-settling component 5 on the connecting member 4, so that they cooperate with each other, the anti-settling component 5 can provide support for the sacrificial anode 2, thereby reducing the settlement of the sacrificial anode 2 in the soil. The probability is increased, and the position of the sacrificial anode 2 is fixed. Finally, when the sacrificial anode 2 is replaced, the time for manual excavation to find the sacrificial anode 2 is reduced, making the replacement of the sacrificial anode 2 more convenient. At the same time, the anti-subsidence component 5 can be rotated downward on the connecting piece 4. Therefore, when the sacrificial anode 2 is not installed, the anti-subsidence component 5 can be rotated downward and folded, thereby reducing the storage and transportation space occupied by the device. By arranging the support member 6, the sacrificial anode 2 can be buried in the soil. When the anti-subsidence component 5 is in use, the anti-subsidence component 5 is supported and fixed.
[0021] Furthermore, a thread is provided on the upper outer wall of the sacrificial anode 2 , and the thread on the sacrificial anode 2 cooperates with the internal thread ring 14 on the support member 6 to fix the anti-settling component 5 .
[0022] Furthermore, the fixing collar 7 on the connector 4 is fixedly sleeved on the upper outer wall of the sacrificial anode 2, and the fixing collar 7 is also located above the thread provided on the upper outer wall of the sacrificial anode 2. A connecting groove 9 is provided on the connecting plate 8, and a fixed shaft 10 is fixedly installed in the connecting groove 9. The connecting column 11 on the anti-settling component 5 is located in the connecting groove 9 provided on the connecting plate 8. An axial hole 12 is provided on the connecting column 11. The connecting column 11 is rotatably installed on the fixed shaft 10 through the axial hole 12. The internal threaded ring 14 on the support member 6 can be installed. It is mounted on the thread provided on the upper outer wall of the sacrificial anode 2, and the support ring 15 is fixedly sleeved on the upper outer wall of the internal thread ring 14, and the upper end of the support ring 15 is flush with the upper end of the internal thread ring 14. The inner corner of the lower end of the connecting column 11 has been chamfered, while the inner corner of the upper end of the connecting column 11 has not been chamfered. Therefore, when the anti-subsidence assembly 5 is perpendicular to the sacrificial anode 2 and the anti-subsidence assembly 5 is not blocked by the support member 6, the connecting column 11 can rotate downward in the connecting groove 9 but cannot rotate upward.
