Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zinc anode technology, specifically to a zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering. Background Technology

[0002] A zinc anode is a sacrificial anode made primarily of zinc or zinc alloys. It works by preferentially corroding itself through electrochemical processes to protect other metal structures from corrosion. It is widely used in shipbuilding, pipelines, and marine engineering. Zinc anodes are cathodic protection devices made of high-purity zinc or zinc alloys (usually containing elements such as aluminum and cadmium), and belong to the sacrificial anode technology. Its core principle is to use an electrochemical reaction to make the electrode potential of the anode material (zinc) lower than that of the protected metal (such as steel), thereby preferentially dissolving and releasing electrons to form a protective current that inhibits the corrosion of the protected metal.

[0003] In existing technologies, zinc anode preparation devices used in ordinary marine environmental engineering suffer from poor marine energy self-circulation, poor energy supply efficiency, and inadequate green and low-carbon functions. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering to solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering, comprising an integral device body, the integral device body including a preparation tank, three sets of support members arranged at the bottom periphery of the preparation tank, a control valve arranged at the bottom periphery of the preparation tank, a discharge pipe arranged at the bottom periphery of the control valve, a feed inlet arranged at the top periphery of the preparation tank, a drive motor arranged at the top periphery of the preparation tank, a reducer arranged at the top periphery of the preparation tank, a stirring rod movably connected to the drive shaft at the bottom periphery of the reducer, a feeding port arranged on one side of the outer ring surface of the preparation tank, a temperature sensor arranged on one side of the outer ring surface of the preparation tank, and multiple sets of flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheets adhered to the outer ring surface of the preparation tank.

[0006] Furthermore, the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet on the outer ring surface of the preparation barrel, made of PZT-7H material, generates electrical energy through the temperature difference in the marine environment to power the device's sensors and control modules.

[0007] Furthermore, the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet works in conjunction with the temperature sensor: when the temperature difference power generation is ≥1mW, it automatically powers the temperature sensor; when the temperature difference is <5℃, it switches to power supply from the built-in battery, realizing a dual mode of "temperature difference self-powered - battery backup".

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet adopts an arc-shaped bonding design to fit the curved surface of the preparation barrel, thereby improving the power generation stability under ocean temperature differences and stirring vibrations.

[0009] Furthermore, the electrical energy recovered by the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet is stored in the device's energy storage unit through a micro energy management module, which powers the temperature sensor and the low-power module of the control valve, reducing the device's reliance on external energy sources when operating in marine environments.

[0010] Furthermore, the collaborative logic of the drive motor, reducer and stirring rod is as follows: during stirring, the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet generates electricity due to the vibration of the preparation tank, and the recovered electrical energy is used for the start and stop control of the drive motor.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering comprises a preparation tank, a drive motor, a reducer, a temperature sensor, a flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet, a stirring rod, and a control valve. The flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet (PZT-7H material) on the outer ring of the preparation tank generates electricity based on the temperature difference in the marine environment, powering the device's sensors and control module. The flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet and the temperature sensor work in tandem: when the temperature difference power generation is ≥1mW, it automatically powers the temperature sensor; when the temperature difference is <5℃, it switches to power supply from the device's built-in battery, achieving a dual-mode of "temperature difference self-powered - battery backup". The piezoelectric ceramic sheet adopts an arc-shaped bonding design to fit the curved surface of the preparation barrel. This improves power generation stability under ocean temperature differences and agitation vibrations. The electrical energy recovered by the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet is stored in the device's energy storage unit through a micro-energy management module, powering the temperature sensor and low-power control valve modules. This reduces the device's reliance on external energy sources during marine operations. In marine engineering operations, where the device is deployed long-term on offshore platforms and subsea base stations, traditional power supplies rely on cables or batteries, which suffer from the pain points of "difficult cable maintenance and frequent battery replacements." This device generates electricity through thermoelectricity, with a single set of ceramic sheets... With a power generation capacity ≥1mW, multiple units working together can power low-power modules such as temperature sensors and control valves. Traditional single-battery powered devices are prone to temperature monitoring failure due to battery depletion. This device features dual-mode power supply, improving the continuous online rate of temperature sensors and increasing the yield rate of zinc anode preparation, thus ensuring the quality of zinc anodes for marine engineering. Traditional planar bonding of ceramic sheets is prone to power generation fluctuations and ceramic sheet detachment due to low adhesion. This device's arc design and marine corrosion-resistant coating reduce the ceramic sheet detachment rate, ensuring power generation stability and controllable preparation process parameters. It also improves the uniformity of zinc anode composition and enhances the driving... The collaborative logic of the motor, reducer, and stirring rod: During stirring, the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet vibrates due to the vibration of the preparation tank, assisting in thermoelectric power generation. Under the condition that the recovered electrical energy is used to drive the motor start-stop control, the recovered electrical energy is used for the motor start-stop control. In the preparation of zinc anodes for marine wind power foundations, stirring energy consumption accounts for a large part of the total energy consumption of the device. This device saves electrical energy through vibration-coordinated power generation, while reducing motor heating and extending equipment life. It effectively solves the problems of poor marine energy self-circulation, poor energy supply effect, and poor green and low-carbon function of ordinary zinc anode preparation devices used in marine environmental engineering.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering. Specifically, a zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering includes an overall device body 1, which includes a preparation tank 2. Three sets of support members 3 are provided at the bottom periphery of the preparation tank 2. A control valve 11 is provided at the bottom periphery of the preparation tank 2. A discharge pipe 12 is provided at the bottom periphery of the control valve 11. A feed inlet 4 is provided at the top periphery of the preparation tank 2. A drive motor 5 is provided at the top periphery of the preparation tank 2. A reducer 6 is provided at the top periphery of the preparation tank 2. A stirring rod 10 is movably connected to the drive shaft at the bottom periphery of the reducer 6. A feeding port 7 is provided on one side of the outer ring surface of the preparation tank 2. A temperature sensor 8 is provided on one side of the outer ring surface of the preparation tank 2. Multiple sets of flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheets 9 are attached to the outer ring surface of the preparation tank 2.

[0016] In this embodiment, a flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9 made of PZT-7H is placed on the outer ring surface of the preparation tank 2. It generates electricity through the temperature difference in the marine environment to power the device's sensors and control modules. The flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9 works in conjunction with the temperature sensor 8: when the temperature difference power generation is ≥1mW, it automatically powers the temperature sensor 8; when the temperature difference is <5℃, it switches to power supply from the device's built-in battery, realizing a dual mode of "temperature difference self-powered - battery backup". The flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9 adopts an arc-shaped fitting design to fit the curved surface of the preparation tank 2, which improves the stability of power generation under marine temperature difference and stirring vibration. The electrical energy recovered by the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9 is stored in the device's energy storage unit through a micro energy management module to power the temperature sensor 8 and the low-power module of the control valve 11, reducing the device's dependence on external energy when operating in the marine environment.

[0017] Specifically, in marine engineering operations, devices are deployed long-term on offshore platforms and seabed base stations. Traditionally, they rely on cables or batteries for power, which presents pain points such as "difficult cable maintenance and frequent battery replacements." This device generates electricity through thermoelectricity, with a single ceramic plate generating ≥1mW. Multiple sets working together can meet the power needs of low-power modules such as temperature sensor 8 and control valve 11. Traditional single-battery powered devices are prone to temperature monitoring failure due to battery depletion. This device has dual-mode power supply, which improves the continuous online rate of temperature sensor 8 and the yield rate of zinc anode preparation, ensuring the quality of zinc anodes for marine engineering. Traditional planar bonding of ceramic plates is prone to power generation fluctuations and ceramic plate detachment due to low adhesion rate. This device has an arc-shaped design and a marine corrosion-resistant coating, which reduces the ceramic plate detachment rate, ensures power generation stability, controls process parameters, and improves the uniformity of zinc anode composition.

[0018] In this implementation scheme, the collaborative logic of the drive motor 5, the reducer 6 and the stirring rod 10 is as follows: during stirring, the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9 generates electricity due to the vibration of the preparation tank 2, and the electrical energy is recovered for the start and stop control of the drive motor 5.

[0019] Specifically, the recovered electrical energy is used to drive the start-stop control of motor 5. In the preparation of zinc anodes for marine wind power foundations, stirring energy consumption accounts for a large part of the total energy consumption of the device. This device saves electrical energy by generating electricity through vibration coordination, while reducing motor heating and extending equipment life.

[0020] In summary, this zinc anode preparation device for marine environmental engineering allows for the deployment of the device on a marine engineering platform. The preparation tank 2 is fixed using support components 3, and a marine corrosion-resistant coating is sprayed onto the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9. Ocean temperature difference data of the deployment area is collected, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet power generation curve is calibrated, and the temperature sensor 8 threshold is set. Raw material feeding: Zinc powder, electrolytes, and other raw materials are added through the feed inlet 4, and additives are added through the feed port 7. At this time, the marine environmental temperature difference drives the piezoelectric ceramic sheet to generate electricity, powering the temperature sensor 8. The initial temperature of the preparation tank is monitored in real time, and the temperature sensor 8 continuously collects temperature data. If the temperature difference power generation is ≥1mW, it automatically switches to self-powered mode; if ocean stratification causes the temperature difference to be <5℃, it switches to built-in battery power to ensure continuous monitoring. Intelligent stirring control: The drive motor 5 starts, and the reducer 6 drives the stirring rod 10 to rotate, causing the preparation tank 2 to vibrate. The flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9 generates electricity through vibration-assisted temperature difference, and the recovered electrical energy is stored through the energy management module to power the drive motor 5 during low-power phases, reducing motor energy consumption. Temperature sensor 8 monitors the temperature of preparation tank 2. If the temperature exceeds the threshold, it automatically adjusts the stirring speed and activates the marine cooling water circulation to ensure stable zinc anode preparation temperature. Finished product discharge: Upon completion of preparation, control valve 11 is opened, and the zinc anode mixture enters the molding die through discharge pipe 12. At this time, the flexible piezoelectric ceramic sheet 9, due to the absence of stirring vibration in preparation tank 2, relies solely on the marine temperature difference to generate electricity, continuously powering temperature sensor 8 and monitoring the temperature of the discharged liquid. Data upload and analysis: Preparation data is uploaded to the cloud via marine IoT for quality traceability and energy efficiency optimization. Marine environmental protection inspection: The ceramic sheet's power generation is remotely monitored quarterly, and on-site inspections are conducted by maintenance vessels: marine organisms adhering to the surface of preparation tank 2 are cleaned, and the ceramic sheet coating is repaired. Power generation and temperature calibration: The piezoelectric ceramic sheet's power generation curve is calibrated annually using a marine research vessel in different seasons to verify the threshold of temperature sensor 8. Comparing the energy efficiency of preparation in shallow and deep seas, priority is given to deploying the device in shallow sea areas to improve self-powering rate. Process optimization: The zinc anode quality corresponding to different marine temperature curves is analyzed, and the national marine engineering zinc anode preparation process library is optimized. Therefore, this utility model is a very practical product worthy of promotion and application.
