Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of marine engineering technology, and in particular to a sea ice corrosion simulation tank. Background Technology

[0002] Sea ice corrosion simulation is an experiment used to simulate the corrosion process of materials in a sea ice environment. This facilitates the testing of material quality and thus ensures safety in actual use. Although existing simulation tanks can test material quality, the actual marine environment is complex and variable, with diverse wave movements, including drifting and collisions. Simulation tanks can typically only simulate simple ice movement and cannot accurately reproduce the complex physical processes involved in the interaction between sea ice and materials. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a sea ice corrosion simulation tank.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A sea ice corrosion simulation tank includes a tank body with multiple sets of first holes. A base is placed in the tank body, and multiple sets of columns are installed on the base. The columns are inserted into corresponding first holes. A motor is installed on the base, and a protrusion is installed at the output end of the motor. One end of the protrusion contacts a first plate. A torsion spring is installed between the first plate and the base. The base, columns, first plate, torsion spring, motor, and protrusion constitute a wave-simulating mechanism.

[0006] Preferably, a groove is provided on the first plate, and a second plate is slidably connected to the groove. The second plate has multiple sets of second holes, and a handle is threadedly connected to the first plate. The handle is inserted into the corresponding second hole.

[0007] Preferably, metal plates are welded to one end and the other end of the tank, and the multiple sets of metal plates are made of copper. Multiple sets of semiconductor cooling chips are bolted to the multiple sets of metal plates, and thermal grease is applied between the multiple sets of semiconductor cooling chips and the corresponding metal plates.

[0008] Preferably, a valve body and a thermometer are installed at one end of the tank.

[0009] Preferably, the shape of the seat body and the groove body fits together.

[0010] Preferably, the slide is I-shaped, and the second plate is adapted to the slide.

[0011] Preferably, all of the aforementioned metal plates are in contact with the interior of the tank.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. Through the cooperation of the set groove, first hole, seat, column, first plate, torsion spring, motor and protrusion, and utilizing the multiple sets of first holes distributed on the groove, the seat can drive the column to be inserted into the first holes at different positions. Different numbers of wave-simulating mechanisms can also be installed according to usage requirements. The multiple sets of first holes on the groove and the flexibly installable wave-simulating mechanisms increase the diversity of the simulation. When studying the interaction between ocean waves and sea ice, the position and number of wave-simulating mechanisms can be adjusted to simulate the impact of ocean waves of different intensities on sea ice. Combined with simple ice movement simulation, the simulation scenario more closely resembles the complex relationship between ocean waves and sea ice in the actual ocean, overcoming the shortcomings of simply simulating simple ice movement.

[0014] 2. By coordinating the first plate, second plate, second hole, and handle, the second plate is pulled along its groove at the first plate, and the handle is connected to the second hole at the second plate. This alters the overall length of the first and second plates, allowing more water to be propelled during oscillation, resulting in larger wave amplitudes. This method can more effectively simulate larger-scale waves, providing a more realistic simulation environment for studying larger waves, such as breakwater design in marine engineering.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 5 A sea ice corrosion simulation tank includes a tank body 1. The material selection of the tank body 1 needs to be determined according to actual usage requirements to ensure the accuracy, stability, and service life of the simulation experiment. Multiple sets of first holes 2 are opened in the tank body 1. A seat 3 is placed in the tank body 1. Multiple sets of columns 4 are installed on the seat 3. The multiple sets of columns 4 are inserted into the corresponding first holes 2. A motor 7 is installed on the seat 3. The model and function of the motor 7 are selected according to actual working requirements. A protrusion 8 is installed at the output end of the motor 7. One end of the protrusion 8 contacts a first plate 5. A torsion spring 6 is installed between the first plate 5 and the seat 3. The seat 3, columns 4, first plate 5, torsion spring 6, motor 7, and protrusion 8 constitute a wave-simulating mechanism. The materials of the components in the wave-simulating mechanism that come into contact with seawater need to be made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or high-strength corrosion-resistant plastics. When the motor 7 is powered on, the output shaft drives the protrusion 8 to rotate together. During the rotation, the protrusion 8 continuously pushes the first plate 5. The torsion spring 6 installed between the first plate 5 and the base 3 plays an indispensable role in this process. The torsion spring 6 has good elasticity; it stores elastic potential energy when the protrusion 8 pushes the first plate 5, and releases this energy when the protrusion 8 moves away from the first plate 5, causing the first plate 5 to quickly return to its original position. This cycle repeats, causing the first plate 5 to oscillate rhythmically around its connection point with the base 3. The base 3, column 4, first plate 5, torsion spring 6, motor 7, and protrusion 8 work together to form the wave-simulating mechanism, providing the core power for simulating wave motion. The column 4 acts as a precise locator, correspondingly inserting into the first hole 2 on the groove 1. Through this tightly fitted structure, the base 3 is securely fixed within the groove 1, and its position can be flexibly adjusted according to different experimental needs. Researchers can easily insert the base 3 and the column 4 into the first hole 2 at different positions, thereby achieving a diverse layout of the simulated wave mechanism and greatly increasing the flexibility and diversity of the simulation experiment.

[0023] In this embodiment, a groove 9 is provided at the first plate 5, and a second plate 10 is slidably connected to the groove 9. Multiple sets of second holes 11 are provided at the second plate 10. A handle 12 is threadedly connected to the first plate 5, and the handle 12 is inserted into the corresponding second hole 11. Researchers can flexibly insert the handle 12 into different positions of the second holes 11 on the second plate 10 according to actual simulation needs. In this way, the total length of the first plate 5 and the second plate 10 can be precisely adjusted. When the total length of the first plate 5 and the second plate 10 changes, the volume and force of the water they push during the oscillation will also change accordingly, thereby achieving the purpose of generating waves of different amplitudes. For example, when simulating large-scale ocean waves, the handle 12 is inserted into the second hole 11 at a suitable position, increasing the total length of the first plate 5 and the second plate 10. This allows more water to be pushed during the swing, generating larger waves. This provides a more realistic simulation environment for research such as breakwater design in marine engineering. Metal plates 13 are welded to one end and the other end of the tank 1. The multiple sets of metal plates 13 are made of copper, which has good thermal conductivity and can quickly and effectively transfer heat for easy cooling. Multiple sets of semiconductor cooling chips 16 are bolted to the multiple sets of metal plates 13. Thermal grease is applied between the multiple sets of semiconductor cooling chips 16 and the corresponding metal plates 13. The presence of thermal grease further enhances the efficiency of heat transfer, ensuring that the cold energy generated by the semiconductor cooling chips 16 can be quickly and evenly transferred to the metal plates 13, and then to the seawater in the tank 1, achieving rapid cooling of the seawater and simulating a cold sea ice environment. Multiple metal plates 13 are in contact with the interior of the tank 1, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the cooling effect. A valve body 15 and a thermometer 14 are installed at one end of the tank 1. The valve body 15 facilitates the discharge of seawater from the tank 1, providing convenience for the smooth conduct of the experiment. The thermometer 14 monitors the temperature of the seawater in the tank 1 in real time. Researchers can observe the temperature changes of the seawater by observing the reading of the thermometer 14, ensuring that the seawater temperature is always within the range required for the experiment, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the simulated experimental environment. The shape of the seat 3 fits the tank 1, ensuring the stability of the seat 3 in the tank 1 and preventing the accuracy of the experimental results from being affected by shaking or displacement during the simulation. The slide 9 is I-shaped, and the second plate 10 is adapted to the slide 9. This special shape of the slide 9 not only ensures that the second plate 10 slides smoothly in it, but also effectively prevents the second plate 10 from shifting or falling off during the sliding process. This allows the second plate 10 to be freely pulled out within the slide 9, and multiple sets of metal plates 13 are in contact with the inside of the tank 1, which facilitates the use of the semiconductor cooling chip 16 to cool the seawater in the tank 1.

[0024] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, seawater and ice are injected into the tank 1. Then, the semiconductor cooling chip 16 is activated to cool the seawater in the tank 1. Simultaneously, the seawater temperature is monitored in real time using a thermometer 14 to ensure it meets the required experimental standards. Considering the diverse needs of actual simulations, multiple sets of first holes 2 distributed on the tank 1 can be fully utilized, along with a flexibly installable wave-simulating mechanism. Depending on specific requirements, the wave-simulating mechanism can be installed in different orientations to achieve more complex wave simulation effects.

[0025] After the wave-simulating mechanism is installed, the handle 12 can be connected to the second holes 11 at different positions on the second plate 10 according to the simulation requirements of wave shape and intensity. In this way, the effective lengths of the first plate 5 and the second plate 10 are cleverly changed, thereby generating waves of different degrees. When all preparations are complete, the material to be tested is placed stably in the tank 1, and then the motor 7 is connected to the external power supply and started. When the motor 7 is running, it drives the protrusion 8 to rotate synchronously. Under the synergistic action of the torsion spring 6, the first plate 5 will reciprocate around the connection point with the base 3. In this way, waves are generated in different directions in the tank 1, creating a simulated ocean wave environment for simulating sea ice corrosion.

[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
