[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cathodic protection device for long-distance oil and gas pipelines, including a housing 1, a plug plate 5, and a sealing plate assembly. A clamping member is installed on the inner wall of one side of the housing 1, and the clamping member fixes the cathodic protection component 12 by clamping. A connecting plate 7 is fixed on the outer wall of one side of the sealing plate assembly, and a slot 6 is opened on the side wall of the connecting plate 7. An elastic element one and an elastic element two are respectively installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. A pressing block 9 is fixed on the top of the elastic element one, and a rubber pad 25 is glued to one end of the pressing block 9. A roller 17 is rotatably connected to the other end of the pressing block 9. An inclined plate 21 that cooperates with the roller 17 is installed on the outer wall of the elastic element two, and a clamping plate 19 that cooperates with the slot 6 is welded to one end of the inclined plate 21.

[0030] The cathode protection component 12 can be fixed by the clamping member. In the embodiment, the cathode protection component 12 can be a solid-state decoupler. The basic principle of the solid-state decoupler in the cathode protection of the long-distance oil and gas pipeline is to introduce a high-impedance isolation layer between the electromagnetic interference source and the interfered equipment, thereby reducing or eliminating the transmission of electromagnetic interference. Meanwhile, it has the function of “blocking direct current and passing alternating current”, that is, it prevents the conduction of direct current within a certain voltage range, while providing a low-impedance passage for alternating current. This characteristic enables the solid-state decoupler to effectively identify and isolate stray current and guide it to a safe grounding path. The solid-state decoupler can accurately control the current path of the cathode protection system, prevent current leakage or misflow, and ensure the cathode protection effect. In the long-distance oil and gas pipeline, this helps to prevent current from flowing through unnecessary protection paths, thereby ensuring that current only flows to the surface of the metal structure that needs protection.

[0031] Meanwhile, the basic principle of the cathode protection of the long-distance oil and gas pipeline is to apply a cathode current to the protected oil and gas pipeline to make its surface a cathode, thereby slowing down or preventing corrosion. When metal is in an electrolyte such as soil or water, due to electrochemical heterogeneity, a corrosion primary cell is formed. In the corrosion primary cell, the anode releases electrons and is corroded, while the cathode undergoes a reduction reaction and is not usually corroded. Therefore, by making the pipeline a cathode, its corrosion can be inhibited. The operation process includes checking the protected pipeline, including checking the pipeline-to-ground insulation, checking the pipeline conductivity, and checking the insulation state of the old pipeline to ground, ensuring that the material selection, construction, and design of the cathode protection station are consistent, especially that the anode lead is connected to the positive pole and the pipeline convergence point is connected to the negative pole, and the electrode is strictly prohibited from being connected in reverse. Personnel measure parameters such as the natural potential of the entire pipeline, the soil resistivity, the anode bed grounding resistance of each station, etc. According to the operation procedures of direct current sources such as rectifiers, constant potential instruments, and batteries, the pipeline is powered, and the potential is maintained within a certain range, such as about -1.30 volts. After the pipeline is cathodically polarized for a period of time, such as four hours or more, the output current, voltage, power point potential, pipeline along the line protection potential, protection distance, and other parameters of the direct current source are tested. According to the measured protection potential, the power point potential is adjusted to the specified value, and the pipeline is continuously powered to be completely polarized, usually for more than 24 hours. The more specific process and operation method are prior art, so they are not described here.

[0032] When the cathodic protection component 12 is clamped, since the box 1 is usually installed outdoors, in order to protect the cathodic protection component 12 and improve its moisture-proof and dust-proof capability, the box 1 can be covered by the sealing plate assembly to realize moisture-proof and dust-proof of the cathodic protection component 12. When it is necessary to fix the sealing plate assembly and the box 1, first, the plug plate 5 is abutted against the surface of the rubber pad 25, then the rubber pad 25 is extruded by the plug plate 5, the rubber pad 25 can seal the gap between the extrusion block 9 and the box 1, so as to avoid that dust and moisture enter the inside of the box 1 through the gap. After the plug plate 5 drives the rubber pad 25, the extrusion block 9 drives the roller 17 to move towards the inclined plate 21, the surface of the roller 17 and the inclined plate 21 is inclined, so that the movement direction of the roller 17 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the extrusion block 9, the clamping plate 19 moves towards the outside of the box 1. When the sealing plate assembly completely covers the box 1, the insertion slot 6 on the connecting plate 7 and the clamping plate 19 are opposite to each other at this time, when the plug plate 5 is separated from the rubber pad 25, the clamping plate 19 is re-inserted into the insertion slot 6 by the reset action of the elastic member one and the elastic member two, so as to limit the box 1 and the sealing plate assembly by the clamping plate 19 and the insertion slot 6.

[0033] The elastic member one includes the square plate 23 and the lining rod one 24, the lining rod one 24 is fixed on the inner wall of the box 1 by screws, the square plate 23 and the bottom of the extrusion block 9 are fixed by welding and are in sliding connection with the lining rod one 24, the spring three 22 is clamped between the inner wall of one side of the lining rod one 24 and the outer wall of one side of the square plate 23, the elastic member two includes the slide rod 20 and the spring two 18, the slide rod 20 is fixed on the inner wall of the box 1 by screws, the inclined plate 21 and the slide rod 20 are in sliding connection, the spring two 18 is clamped between the inner wall of one side of the slide rod 20 and the inner wall of one side of the inclined plate 21;

[0034] The spring three 22 and the spring two 18 are used to make the clamping plate 19 re-inserted into the insertion slot 6 on the connecting plate 7 after the plug plate 5 is separated from the rubber pad 25, so as to limit the connecting plate 7.

[0036] The rubber ring 8 is used to improve the sealing between the cover plate 4 and the box 1, and the limiting plate 2 is used to limit the maximum distance of the cover plate 4 moving along the box 1.

[0037] The clamping piece comprises a vertical plate 11, a guide rod 13 and a spring 15, the two vertical plates 11 are welded to the inner wall of one side of the box 1, the guide rod 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole formed on the surface of the vertical plate 11, one end of the guide rod 13 is fixed with a limiting cover 16, the spring 15 is fixed between the outer wall of one side of the limiting cover 16 and the outer wall of one side of the vertical plate 11, and one end of the guide rod 13 is welded with a clamping jaw 14;

[0038] The elastic force of the two groups of springs 15 enables the two clamping jaws 14 to clamp and fix the cathodic protection component 12 from left and right.

[0039] The inner wall of one side of the box 1 is fixed with a bearing plate 10 through bolts;

[0040] The bearing plate 10 can support the cathodic protection component 12.

[0041] When the cathodic protection component 12 needs to be fixed, the two groups of springs 15 utilize their elastic force to push the clamping jaws 14 to tightly clamp the cathodic protection component 12 from left and right, so that the stable fixing effect is realized, meanwhile, the bearing plate 10 provides additional support for the cathodic protection component 12, and the stability of installation is enhanced, the sealing plate assembly is designed for the device, the rubber ring 8 enhances the sealing property between the cover plate 4 and the box 1, the limiting plate 2 limits the maximum moving distance of the cover plate 4 on the box 1, the slot 6 formed on the connecting plate 7 cooperates with the clamping plate 19 inside the box 1, so that the fixing mechanism of the sealing plate assembly and the box is formed, when the plug plate 5 abuts against and presses the rubber pad 25, the rubber pad 25 is tightly attached to the gap between the box 1 and the pressing block 9, so that the invasion of dust and moisture is effectively prevented, meanwhile, the pressing action of the plug plate 5 drives the pressing block 9 and the roller 17 to move, the movement direction of the roller 17 and the movement direction of the pressing block 9 are perpendicular to each other by utilizing the inclined surface, so that the clamping plate 19 is driven to move to the outside of the box 1, when the sealing plate assembly completely covers the box 1, the slot 6 is opposite to the clamping plate 19, at this time, the plug plate 5 is separated from the rubber pad 25, under the reset action of the spring three 22 and the spring two 18, the clamping plate 19 is re-inserted into the slot 6, so that the stable limiting of the box 1 and the sealing plate assembly is realized, the elastic member one and the elastic member two arranged inside the device jointly constitute the reset mechanism, when the plug plate 5 is separated from the rubber pad 25, the clamping plate 19 is reset and inserted into the slot 6 by utilizing the rebound force of the spring three 22 and the spring two 18, so that the tight fixing of the sealing plate assembly and the box 1 is ensured.
