Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of biological control, in particular to an anti-fouling and anti-corrosion electrode assembly for a seawater system. Background Technique

[0002] With the continuous development of the shipbuilding industry, the ocean shipping business is also developing rapidly. The startup of large transport ships is very complex and time-consuming. Many large ships take more than an hour to start. Therefore, once a transport ship starts, it will not stop easily. This requires the engine to keep working. When the engine is working, a large amount of heat will be generated, and cooling water is needed to cool the engine. However, fresh water on ocean-going ships is relatively precious, and a large amount of fresh water cannot be used to cool the engine. Seawater needs to be used to assist in cooling. However, when seawater flows, it will cause great corrosion to metal pipes, and at the same time, a large number of marine organisms will attach and grow on the surface of the pipe system, resulting in a reduction in the heat exchange efficiency between pipes.

[0003] To avoid such problems, two anodes, an aluminum electrode and a copper electrode, are set. The aluminum electrode and the copper electrode are connected to a power supply, and copper ions are generated in seawater through electrolysis. The copper ions can prevent marine organisms from surviving, and aluminum hydroxide is generated at the aluminum electrode. Continuous electrolysis of the aluminum electrode and the copper electrode will cause relatively serious loss of the two. However, to avoid the impact of seawater flow, the copper electrode and the aluminum electrode are fixed in the pipeline, and the replacement is extremely inconvenient, and electrolysis cannot be carried out during the replacement. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an anti-fouling and anti-corrosion electrode assembly for a seawater system to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: An anti-fouling and anti-corrosion electrode assembly for a seawater system, including an installation cylinder. A connection box is arranged in the middle of the installation cylinder. The connection box is in a square frame structure. Rotating wheels are rotatably connected to the four corners of the connection box. A rotating groove is arranged on the inner wall of the installation cylinder. The side ends of the rotating wheels are located in the rotating groove. Connection through grooves are arranged in the middle of the four side walls of the connection box. Deformation plates are arranged at the four side walls of the connection box. A positioning block is fixedly connected to one side of the deformation plate. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the deformation plate. The two ends of the connecting plate penetrate through the connection through groove. An insulating rubber pad is fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting plate. A copper electrode and an aluminum electrode are embedded on the side end of the insulating rubber pad. A wiring connection column is threadedly connected in the middle of the connection box. A side plate is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the installation cylinder. An electric push rod is arranged in the middle of the side plate. A sliding port is arranged in the middle of the installation cylinder. The sliding port penetrates through the installation cylinder. A sliding plate is slidably connected in the sliding port.

[0006] Preferably, plug-in plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the deformable plate. Plug-in slots are provided on the outer side wall of the connection box. Both the plug-in plates and the plug-in slots are L-shaped structures, and the plug-in plates are inserted into the plug-in slots.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the power output end of the electric push rod. An extrusion block is fixedly connected to the side end of the sliding plate, and the side end of the extrusion block is of an arc-shaped structure.

[0008] Preferably, the extrusion block faces the positioning block. A positioning slot is provided on the side end of the positioning block. There is a gap between the wiring connection post and the insulating rubber pad. When the extrusion block is inserted into the positioning slot, the insulating rubber pad abuts against the side end of the wiring connection post.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating wheel is an iron wheel. Positioning magnetic attraction blocks are inlaid on the inner wall of the rotating groove. When the rotating wheel is located at the positioning magnetic attraction blocks, the positioning block faces the sliding plate.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The installation cylinder can provide protection to prevent seawater from impacting the aluminum electrode and the copper electrode during the flow of seawater. The wiring connection post can electrolyze the aluminum electrode and the copper electrode. After electrolysis, copper ions and hydroxide ion groups are generated. The two can make the incoming seawater weakly alkaline, making it impossible for organisms in the seawater to survive. When the aluminum electrode and the copper electrode are severely worn, the connection box can be rotated to move the new aluminum electrode and copper electrode to the extrusion block, so that the new aluminum electrode and copper electrode are connected to the wiring connection post. The replacement is simple, convenient and fast, greatly reducing the replacement time, thereby ensuring that the seawater can be fully treated when it enters. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0014] In order to deepen the understanding and recognition of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described and introduced in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments, and no formal restrictions are imposed on this embodiment. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an anti-fouling and anti-corrosion electrode assembly for a seawater system, including an installation cylinder 1. A connection box 2 is provided in the middle of the installation cylinder 1. The connection box 2 has a square structure. Rotating wheels 3 are rotatably connected at the four corners of the connection box 2. A rotating groove 15 is provided on the inner wall of the installation cylinder 1. The side end of the rotating wheel 3 is located in the rotating groove 15. Connection through grooves 9 are provided in the middle of the four side walls of the connection box 2. Deformation plates 10 are provided at the four side walls of the connection box 2. A positioning block 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the deformation plate 10. A connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the other side of the deformation plate 10. Both ends of the connecting plate 11 penetrate through the connection through groove 9. An insulating rubber pad 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 11. A copper electrode 16 and an aluminum electrode 17 are embedded on the side end of the insulating rubber pad 12. A wiring connection post 5 is threadedly connected in the middle of the connection box 2. A side plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the installation cylinder 1. An electric push rod is provided in the middle of the side plate 6. A sliding port is provided in the middle of the installation cylinder 1. The sliding port penetrates through the installation cylinder 1. A sliding plate 7 is slidably connected in the sliding port. When the rubber insulating pad 12 moves, it can abut the copper electrode 16 and the aluminum electrode 17 against the wiring connection post 5, thereby performing electrolysis operation. After electrolysis, copper ions and hydroxide ion groups are generated. The two can make the incoming seawater weakly alkaline, making it impossible for organisms in the seawater to survive. The insulating rubber pad 12 can isolate the copper electrode 16 and the aluminum electrode 17 to prevent them from contacting each other. The insulating rubber pad 12 can deform. After the copper electrode 16 and the aluminum electrode 17 are worn to a certain extent, the deformation degree of the deformation plate 10 increases, and the insulating rubber pad 12 continues to abut against the wiring connection post 5, so as to ensure that the copper electrode 16 and the aluminum electrode 17 are utilized to the maximum extent during electrolysis.

[0016] Plug-in plates 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the deformation plate 10. Plug-in slots are provided on the outer side wall of the connection box 2. The plug-in plates 18 and the plug-in slots are both L-shaped structures. The plug-in plates 18 are plugged into the plug-in slots. The deformation plate 10 is convenient to replace. It only needs to plug and install the plug-in plates 18 and the plug-in slots with each other. The installation cylinder 1 protects the deformation plate 10.

[0017] The sliding plate 7 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the electric push rod. A pressing block 8 is fixedly connected to the side end of the sliding plate 7. The side end of the pressing block 8 is of an arc-shaped structure. The pressing block 8 faces the positioning block 13. A positioning groove 14 is provided at the side end of the positioning block 13. There is a gap between the wiring connection column 5 and the insulating rubber pad 12. When the pressing block 8 is inserted into the positioning groove 14, the insulating rubber pad 12 abuts against the side end of the wiring connection column 5. The rotating wheel 3 is an iron wheel, and a positioning magnetic attraction block 4 is embedded on the inner wall of the rotating groove 15. When the rotating wheel 3 is located at the positioning magnetic attraction block 4, the positioning block 13 faces the sliding plate 7. When it is necessary to replace the new copper electrode 16 and aluminum electrode 17, the rotating connection box 2 is rotated, the rotating wheel 3 moves in the rotating groove 15, and the positioning magnetic attraction block 4 can adsorb the rotating wheel 3, thereby positioning the connection box 2, so that the new copper electrode 16 and aluminum electrode 17 move to the pressing block 8. The electric push rod drives the pressing block 8 to move, and the pressing block 8 is clamped into the positioning groove 14, thereby squeezing the deformation plate 10, so that the deformation plate 10 is deformed, and the copper electrode 16 and aluminum electrode 17 are abutted against the wiring connection column 5. The wiring connection column 5 can electrolyze the copper electrode 16 and aluminum electrode 17 by electrifying them. When the positioning block 13 and the pressing block 8 are clamped with each other, the connection box 2 can be positioned and fixed to prevent the connection box 2 from moving due to the flow of seawater.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
