Abstract

This utility model discloses a sacrificial anode mounting device, including a sacrificial anode, with mounting plates symmetrically fixed to the upper and lower ends of the sacrificial anode; side plates are vertically fixed to both sides of each mounting plate; mounting blocks are fixed to the lower inner wall of the side plates; a through-type insertion groove is opened on the side of the mounting block away from the side plate; trapezoidal insertion blocks matching the shape of the insertion groove are symmetrically fixed to the left and right side walls of the sacrificial anode; a limiting groove is opened at the top of the mounting block, and T-shaped slide rails are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the limiting groove; a T-shaped slider is slidably fitted in the T-shaped slide rail, and the T-shaped slider is fixed to both sides of the elastic plug. This utility model resists six-way displacement: the trapezoidal insertion block and the inclined surface of the insertion groove cooperate to generate a radial constraint force to resist lateral vibration; the interference fit between the elastic plug and the Y-shaped groove forms an axial locking force; the fit depth between the T-shaped slide rail and the slider can resist overturning moment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of installation device technology, and particularly relates to a sacrificial anode installation device. Background Technology

[0002] Sacrificial anode cathodic protection is widely used in marine engineering, shipbuilding, and underground pipeline corrosion protection. Traditional sacrificial anode installation mainly uses two methods: welding or bolting.

[0003] Although welding provides a strong connection, it requires cutting when replacing the anode, which is complicated and can easily damage the substrate being protected. While bolted connections are detachable, they are prone to rust and jamming in high salt spray and humid environments, making replacement difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the problems existing in the prior art by proposing the following technical solution:

[0005] A sacrificial anode mounting device includes a sacrificial anode, wherein mounting plates are symmetrically fixed to the upper and lower end faces of the sacrificial anode;

[0006] Each of the mounting plates has a side plate vertically fixed to both sides;

[0007] A mounting block is fixedly provided below the inner wall of the side plate;

[0008] The mounting block has a through-type insertion slot on the side away from the side plate;

[0009] The left and right sidewalls of the sacrificial anode are symmetrically fixed with trapezoidal plug blocks that match the shape of the plug slot. The top of the mounting block is provided with a limiting groove, and T-shaped slide rails are symmetrically provided on both sides of the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0010] The T-shaped slide rail is slidably fitted with a T-shaped slider, which is fixed to both sides of the elastic plug.

[0011] The inner end of the elastic plug is connected to an elastic element, and the distal end of the elastic element is fixed to the bottom surface of the limiting groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the cross-section of the insertion slot is an isosceles trapezoid.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the mounting plate is provided with a Y-shaped groove that matches the head of the elastic plug, and the inlet width of the Y-shaped groove is greater than the bottom width of the groove.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the head of the elastic plug is a hemisphere, and the diameter of the hemisphere is 0.1-0.3 mm larger than the width of the bottom of the Y-shaped groove.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] In this application, the six-way displacement resistance is achieved by: the trapezoidal plug-in block and the inclined surface of the plug-in groove engaging to generate a radial constraint force to resist lateral vibration; the interference fit between the elastic plug and the Y-shaped groove forms an axial locking force; and the mating depth between the T-shaped slide rail and the slider can resist overturning moment.

[0017] Three-second disassembly and assembly: Simply press the elastic plugs on both sides simultaneously to release the lock. Combined with the self-detaching characteristic of the trapezoidal slope, the disassembly process requires no tools and is less time-consuming. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Legend:

[0021] 1. Sacrificial anode; 2. Mounting plate; 3. Insertion block; 4. Insertion groove; 5. Mounting block; 6. Limiting groove; 7. Elastic element; 8. T-slider; 9. T-slide rail; 10. Elastic insert; 11. Y-slot; 12. Side plate. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the sacrificial anode mounting device includes a sacrificial anode 1, characterized in that: the upper and lower end faces of the sacrificial anode 1 are symmetrically fixed with mounting plates 2;

[0024] Each mounting plate 2 has a side plate 12 vertically fixed to both sides;

[0025] A mounting block 5 is fixedly installed on the lower inner wall of the side plate 12;

[0026] A through-type insertion groove 4 is provided on the side of the mounting block 5 away from the side plate 12;

[0027] The left and right side walls of the sacrificial anode 1 are symmetrically fixed with trapezoidal plug-in block mounting blocks 5 that match the shape of the plug-in slot 4. A limiting groove 6 is opened on the top of the limiting groove 6, and T-shaped slide rails 9 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the inner wall of the limiting groove 6.

[0028] T-shaped sliders 8 are slidably fitted inside the T-shaped slide rail 9, and the T-shaped sliders 8 are fixed to both sides of the elastic plug 10;

[0029] The inner end of the elastic plug 10 is connected to an elastic element 7, and the distal end of the elastic element 7 is fixed to the bottom surface of the limiting groove 6. The cross-section of the insertion groove 4 is an isosceles trapezoid. A Y-shaped groove 11 matching the head of the elastic plug 10 is provided on the mounting plate 2, and the inlet width of the Y-shaped groove 11 is greater than the bottom width of the groove.

[0030] Preliminary positioning:

[0031] Align the trapezoidal plug blocks 3 on the left and right sides of the sacrificial anode 1 with the trapezoidal plug slots 4 of the mounting block 5 below and insert them. The 15°-25° inclined plane guides the plug blocks to automatically center and position them, and the insertion depth is controlled by the height of the plug blocks.

[0032] Locking mechanism operation:

[0033] The operator simultaneously presses the elastic inserts 10 on both sides of the mounting blocks 5, driving the T-shaped slider 8 to slide inward along the T-shaped slide rail 9, compressing the elastic element 7 to store energy; when the hemispherical head of the elastic insert 10 is fully retracted into the limiting groove 6, the mounting plate 2 is pressed downward against the upper surface of the sacrificial anode 1.

[0034] Mechanical locking:

[0035] After the elastic plug 10 is released, the elastic element 7 pushes the slider 8 to slide outward along the slide rail 9, so that the head of the elastic plug pops into the Y-shaped groove 11 of the mounting plate 2; the hemispherical head slides into the narrow groove area along the 60° inclined wall of the Y-shaped groove, forming an interference fit lock.

[0036] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
