Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of test piles, and in particular to a cathodic protection intelligent test pile. Background Technology
[0002] Buried steel pipelines are exposed to complex soil environments over long periods, making them susceptible to corrosion. Corrosion can lead to thinning of the pipeline walls, perforation, and oil and gas leaks, causing not only energy losses but also serious threats to the environment and safety. Cathodic protection technology, as an effective means of pipeline corrosion prevention, has been widely used. Cathodic protection technology requires intelligent cathodic protection test piles to collect data.
[0003] Current intelligent cathodic protection test piles need to be installed outdoors. However, the outdoor environment is harsh, and the test piles are subjected to greater impacts from wind and other factors. This makes the test piles prone to tipping over under harsh conditions, which can lead to damage and reduce the effectiveness of the intelligent test piles. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a smart test post for cathodic protection.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A cathodic protection intelligent test pile includes a pile body, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to a base. The lower end of the base is machined with multiple sets of slides, and the lower ends of every two sets of slides are slidably connected to corresponding extension plates. The surfaces of the multiple extension plates are machined with threaded holes, and the surface of the base is machined with threaded holes. The diameters of the threaded holes on the surfaces of the base and the extension plates are the same.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the pile body is machined with heat dissipation holes, and the openings of the heat dissipation holes all face downwards.
[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the pile body abuts against the bolt, the outer wall of the bolt moves through the protective plate through a through hole, and the outer wall of the protective plate is slidably connected to the pile body.
[0009] Preferably, a battery compartment is provided in the middle of the pile body, the inner wall of the battery compartment is fixedly connected to two first cylinders, the inner walls of the two first cylinders are slidably connected to second cylinders, and the inner walls of the two second cylinders are respectively fixedly connected to one end of two springs.
[0010] Preferably, the other ends of the two springs are fixedly connected to the two first cylinders respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the ends of the two second cylinders are fixedly connected to the two limiting plates respectively.
[0012] Preferably, electronic devices are installed at the upper interior of the pile.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. With the set pile body, base, extension plate, slide rail and threaded holes, when the test pile needs to be fixed on the outdoor ground, the operator pulls out the four extension plates below along the slide rail, and then screws eight fixing bolts into the threaded holes on the surface of the base and the extension plate. The fixing bolts fix the base and the extension plate to the ground in two layers, thus preventing the test pile from tilting in severe weather such as strong winds, which improves the working effect of the intelligent test pile.
[0015] 2. With the first cylinder, second cylinder, spring, and limiting plate configured, when the battery needs to be placed in the battery compartment, the operator places the battery between the two limiting plates and pushes the limiting plates open to both sides. At this time, the limiting plates drive the second cylinder to move inward into the first cylinder. The second cylinder simultaneously compresses the spring, which is in a compressed state. Therefore, the spring will always push the limiting plates towards the battery, so that the two limiting plates press against the battery and fix the battery. This ensures that batteries of various sizes can be fixed in the battery compartment and will not move. It also prevents the traction connection cable from falling off when the battery moves, thus avoiding the situation where the test pile cannot work due to power failure, and improving the working effect of the intelligent test pile.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 6 A cathodic protection intelligent test pile includes a pile body 1, the lower end of which is fixedly connected to a base 2. The base 2 facilitates the installation of the pile body 1 on the ground. Multiple sets of sliding tracks 4 are machined on the lower end of the base 2. The lower ends of every two sets of sliding tracks 4 are slidably connected to corresponding extension plates 3. The extension plates 3 can move along the sliding tracks 4. Threaded holes 14 are machined on the surfaces of the multiple extension plates 3 and the base 2. The diameters of the threaded holes 14 on the surfaces of the base 2 and the extension plates 3 are the same, allowing fixing bolts to be screwed into both the extension plates 3 and the base 2. When the test pile needs to be fixed to the outdoor ground, the operator pulls out the four lower extension plates 3 along the sliding tracks 4, and then screws eight fixing bolts into the threaded holes 14 on the surfaces of the base 2 and the extension plates 3. The fixing bolts fix the base 2 and the extension plates 3 to the ground in two layers, preventing the test pile from tipping over in severe weather such as strong winds, thus improving the working efficiency of the intelligent test pile.
[0025] In this embodiment, the surface of the pile body 1 is machined with heat dissipation holes 7, which can dissipate the heat generated by the electronic device 8 from the pile body 1. The openings of the heat dissipation holes 7 all face downward to prevent dust particles from entering the pile body 1. The outer wall of the pile body 1 is abutted against the bolt 6, which fixes the protective plate 5 to the pile body 1. The outer wall of the bolt 6 passes through the protective plate 5 through a through hole, and the outer wall of the protective plate 5 is slidably connected to the pile body 1. A battery compartment 13 is provided in the middle of the pile body 1. The battery compartment 13 can hold a battery. The inner wall of the battery compartment 13 is fixedly connected to two first cylinders 9, and the inner walls of the two first cylinders 9 are fixedly connected to the second cylinders 9. The first cylinder 10 is slidably connected to the second cylinder 9. The inner walls of the two second cylinders 10 are fixedly connected to one end of the two springs 11 respectively. The springs 11 cause the second cylinders 10 to drive the limiting plate 12 to always press against the battery. The other ends of the two springs 11 are fixedly connected to the two first cylinders 9 respectively. The springs 11 are fixed on the first cylinders 9. The ends of the two second cylinders 10 are fixedly connected to the two limiting plates 12 respectively. The second cylinders 10 drive the limiting plate 12 to move. An electronic device 8 is installed at the upper end of the inside of the pile body 1. The electronic device 8 can collect parameters inside the gas pipeline.
[0026] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the operator pulls out the four extension plates 3 below along the slide 4, and then screws eight fixing bolts into the threaded holes 14 on the surface of the base 2 and the extension plates 3. The fixing bolts fix the base 2 and the extension plates 3 to the ground in two layers, thus preventing the test pile from tilting in severe weather such as strong winds, which improves the working effect of the intelligent test pile. The operator then unscrews bolt 6 and removes protective plate 5. Next, the operator places the battery between the two limiting plates 12 and pushes the limiting plates 12 to both sides. At this time, the limiting plates 12 drive the second cylinder 10 to move into the first cylinder 9. Simultaneously, the second cylinder 10 presses against the spring 11. Since the spring 11 is in a compressed state, it will continuously push the limiting plates 12 towards the battery, causing the two limiting plates 12 to press against the battery and secure it. This ensures that batteries of various sizes can be fixed within the battery compartment 13 without movement, preventing the traction connection wire from falling off when the battery moves. This avoids situations where the test pile cannot function due to power failure, improving the working effect of the intelligent test pile. Afterwards, protective plate 5 is placed on the pile body 1, blocking the battery compartment 13. The electronic device 8 collects parameters inside the gas pipeline, completing the cathodic protection work of the gas pipeline.
[0027] 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.
