Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of natural gas engines, and specifically relates to a water inlet pipe mechanism for a natural gas engine. Background Art
[0002] Among various mechanical products, the exploration of corrosion-resistant technology for engine parts is the most common thing. The corrosion problem of engine parts is difficult to solve in the existing technology, especially the water inlet pipe of the natural gas engine, which is in contact with seawater for a long time; it has been in a high-salt environment and is more easily corroded by seawater. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a water inlet pipe mechanism for a natural gas engine, which solves the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a water inlet pipe mechanism for a natural gas engine, comprising an oil cooler, a water pump, a water outlet pipe and a water inlet pipe, wherein the water pump is installed on one side of the oil cooler, the water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet end of the oil cooler, and the water inlet pipe is connected to the water inlet end of the oil cooler;
[0005] The front surface of the water inlet pipe is threadedly connected with a zinc rod assembly;
[0006] The zinc rod assembly includes a screw plug, a composite gasket, a stud and a zinc rod. The screw plug is threadedly connected to the front surface of the water inlet pipe, the composite gasket is sleeved on the surface of the screw plug, and the screw plug and the zinc rod are respectively threadedly connected to both ends of the stud.
[0007] Preferably, the length of the screw plug L1=25 mm, and the length of the zinc rod L2=60 mm.
[0008] Preferably, the threaded connection parts of the screw plug and the zinc rod are both coated with liquid raw tape.
[0009] Preferably, the water inlet pipe is made of corrosion-resistant material 316 stainless steel and has an outer surface powder spraying process.
[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are:
[0011] In addition to the use of corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel and external powder spraying technology for the parts themselves, the utility model also adds a zinc rod structure, which is beneficial to the cathode protection principle of the zinc rod.
[0012] The cathodic protection principle of zinc rods is an innovative application based on the principle of electrochemical corrosion. This method uses zinc alloy as an active metal with a lower electrode potential. When the zinc alloy contacts the protected metal (such as steel) and is placed in an electrolyte environment, the zinc alloy will preferentially undergo a corrosion reaction, that is, it sacrifices itself as an anode, and the protected metal acts as a cathode, avoiding the occurrence of corrosion. This sacrificial anode protection method is essentially a process of current transfer. The electrons released by the zinc alloy anode during the corrosion process are transferred to the protected metal through the electrolyte, thereby neutralizing the current that may cause metal corrosion. In this way, the zinc alloy plays the role of a "stand-in", withstands the invasion of corrosion, and protects the safety of other metals. In addition, the zinc alloy sacrificial anode also has good self-regulation performance, and can provide zinc anodes of different shapes according to needs, such as rectangular, square, bracelet and other various special shapes, which are widely used in the protection of steel equipment in seawater or rivers, and to prevent the corrosion of cables, oil pipelines, underground equipment and chemical equipment.
