Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cathodic protection test piles, in particular to a cathodic protection test pile that can be visually observed at night. Background Technique

[0002] The cathodic protection test pile is an important part of the cathodic protection system and is used to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the cathodic protection system. In the night or in a darker environment, it is very difficult to accurately find and identify the cathodic protection test pile, which makes the staff spend more time and energy to find the location of the test pile when monitoring and maintaining the cathodic protection system. Therefore, in order to facilitate quickly finding the cathodic protection test pile, the traditional method is to paste reflective strips or luminous strips on the test pile.

[0003] Although the existing test piles achieve a visible effect by setting reflective strips or luminous strips, there are still relatively large defects in the actual use process. For example, after the reflective strips on the traditional night-visible cathodic protection test piles are used for a long time, a large amount of dust will be adsorbed on their surfaces. Over time, the reflective or luminous effect will be poor, resulting in a poor visible effect.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a cathodic protection test pile that can be visually observed at night to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the defects existing in the prior art, and a cathodic protection test pile that can be visually observed at night is proposed. By setting a cleaning mechanism and a driving mechanism, the reflective strips on the upright column are wiped and cleaned, so as to avoid a large amount of dust being adsorbed on the reflective strips and affecting the reflective effect.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A cathodic protection test pile that can be visually observed at night includes a base, the upper end of the base is fixedly connected with an upright column, a test box is installed at the upper end of the upright column, a plurality of reflective strips are equally spaced and pasted on the surface of the upright column, a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the reflective strips is arranged on the upright column, the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning ring slidably sleeved on the upright column, two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning ring, a driving mechanism for driving the cleaning mechanism is arranged on the test box, a limiting mechanism for limiting the cleaning mechanism is arranged at the upper end of the base, and a liquid pumping mechanism for pumping liquid onto the upright column is arranged at the lower end of the test box.

[0008] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a reciprocating lead screw rotatably connected between the base and the test box, and the reciprocating lead screw passes through and cooperates with one of the fixing blocks.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod fixedly connected between the base and the test box, and the limiting rod passes through the other fixing block and is slidably connected thereto.

[0010] Preferably, a cavity is provided inside the test box, and a motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity. The end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the reciprocating lead screw.

[0011] Preferably, the liquid pumping mechanism includes a liquid sac fixedly connected to the lower end of the test box. The lower end of the liquid sac is slidably sleeved on the limiting rod, and a sealing ring is provided at the sliding connection between the lower end of the liquid sac and the limiting rod. A one-way liquid outlet pipe is provided on the side wall of the liquid sac close to the column.

[0012] Preferably, a water storage tank is fixedly connected to the side wall of the test box, and the water storage tank is communicated with the liquid sac through a one-way liquid inlet pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the inner bottom and the inner top of the liquid sac are elastically connected by a spring.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By providing a cleaning mechanism and a driving mechanism, the output shaft of the driving motor rotates, driving the reciprocating lead screw to rotate, driving the fixing block cooperating with it to reciprocate, thereby driving the cleaning ring fixedly connected thereto to reciprocate. The cleaning ring reciprocates on the column, realizing the wiping and cleaning of the reflective strip on the column, avoiding a large amount of dust adsorbed on the reflective strip and affecting the reflection effect.

[0016] 2. By providing a liquid pumping mechanism and a water storage tank, during the reciprocating movement of the cleaning ring, the fixing blocks on both sides are driven to reciprocate. When the fixing block moves upward, the liquid sac and the spring are continuously squeezed, and the liquid sac is compressed and deformed, and the water inside it is squeezed out to the column through the one-way liquid outlet pipe, moistening the column and the reflective strip pasted on the surface of the column, which can improve the cleaning effect.

Specific implementation manner

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the specific implementation manner of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present utility model. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific implementations disclosed below.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1-5 , a cathodic protection test pile visible at night, including a base 6, an upright column 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 6, a test box 1 is installed at the upper end of the upright column 10, a plurality of equally spaced reflective strips 9 are pasted on the surface of the upright column 10, and a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the reflective strips 9 is arranged on the upright column 10. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning ring 8 slidably sleeved on the upright column 10, and two symmetrically arranged fixing blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the cleaning ring 8.

[0025] A driving mechanism for driving the cleaning mechanism is arranged on the test box 1. The driving mechanism includes a reciprocating lead screw 2 rotatably connected between the base 6 and the test box 1. The reciprocating lead screw 2 passes through one of the fixing blocks 7 and cooperates with it. A cavity is arranged inside the test box 1, and a motor 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity. The end of the output shaft of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the reciprocating lead screw 2. A cavity is opened in the test box 1 for placing the motor 13 to avoid interference between the motor 13 and other components inside the test box 1.

[0026] A limiting mechanism for limiting the cleaning mechanism is arranged at the upper end of the base 6. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting rod 5 fixedly connected between the base 6 and the test box 1. The limiting rod 5 passes through the other fixing block 7 and is slidably connected to it.

[0027] A liquid pumping mechanism for pumping liquid onto the upright column 10 is provided at the lower end of the test chamber 1. The liquid pumping mechanism includes a liquid bladder 4 fixedly connected to the lower end of the test chamber 1. The lower end of the liquid bladder 4 is slidably sleeved on a limiting rod 5. A sealing ring 12 is provided at the sliding connection between the lower end of the liquid bladder 4 and the limiting rod 5. The sealing ring 12 is arranged at the lower end of the liquid bladder 4 and is made of rubber, which can prevent the liquid inside from leaking during the sliding process of the lower end of the liquid bladder 4. A one-way liquid outlet pipe 14 is provided on the side wall of the liquid bladder 4 close to the upright column 10. A water storage tank 3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the test chamber 1. The water storage tank 3 is communicated with the liquid bladder 4 through a one-way liquid inlet pipe 11. The inner bottom and the inner top of the liquid bladder 4 are elastically connected by a spring. The setting of the spring can facilitate the quick reset of the liquid bladder 4.

[0028] When in use of the present utility model, when it is necessary to clean the reflective strip 9 on the surface of the upright column 10, the output shaft of the driving motor 13 rotates, driving the reciprocating lead screw 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 2, the fixed block 7 cooperating with it is driven to reciprocate. During the reciprocating movement of the fixed block 7, the cleaning ring 8 is driven to reciprocate. During the reciprocating movement of the cleaning ring 8, it repeatedly wipes on the surface of the reflective strip 9 to achieve the cleaning effect. During the cleaning process, the fixed block 7 moves upward, continuously squeezing the liquid bladder 4 and the spring. The liquid bladder 4 is deformed under pressure, and the water inside it is squeezed out through the one-way liquid outlet pipe 14 onto the surface of the upright column 10. The water flows down along the surface of the upright column 10, wetting the surfaces of the upright column 10 and the reflective strip 9, facilitating better cleaning. When the cleaning ring 8 moves downward, it drives the fixed block 7 to move downward. At this time, the liquid bladder 4 is reset under the action of the spring. At this time, a negative pressure is generated inside the liquid bladder 4, and the water in the water storage tank 3 is pumped into the liquid bladder 4 again for storage, facilitating cleaning again.

[0029] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model, according to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and all should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
