Description

  The present invention relates to a pretreatment method for an anticorrosion worker, and more specifically, whether or not there is an exposed portion of a buried object having electrical continuity with a reinforcing bar on the outer surface of a concrete member to be subjected to an external power supply type anticorrosion. The present invention relates to a pretreatment method for an anticorrosion worker that detects and, if present, removes a short-circuited buried object, and then performs anticorrosion.

  In the case of applying an external power supply type anticorrosion technique to a concrete structure, an anode is mounted in the outer surface of the concrete member or in a groove formed by cutting or the like on the outer surface of the concrete member. If a buried object having electrical continuity with a reinforcing bar in concrete is exposed in the outer surface of the concrete member or a processed surface, for example, in a groove formed by the above-described cutting or the like, the anode is electrically connected through the buried object. In addition, there is a problem that a normal electric protection circuit of an external power supply system cannot be formed due to a short circuit with a reinforcing bar.

  In the present invention, such a buried object that is electrically conductive between the reinforcing bar in the concrete member and the outer surface of the concrete member is referred to as a short-circuit buried object. Examples of such a short-circuit embedded object include a reinforcing bar binding wire, a reinforcing bar position holding jig, a mold holding spacer, and other metal pieces. Whether or not such a short-circuit embedded object exists has been discovered by carefully observing the outside of a concrete member or the inside of a groove formed by cutting or the like by a technician. However, the visual discovery of such short-circuited buried objects is difficult and often overlooked, and there is a problem that the anticorrosion technology is hindered.

As for the external anticorrosion technology, there is an excellent technology using a titanium electrode. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

  The present invention easily detects whether or not there is a short-circuit buried object that provides electrical continuity between the outer surface of the concrete member and the reinforcing bar in the concrete member to be subjected to the external power supply type electric protection. In such a case, the object is to provide a technique for mounting an anode on the outer surface of a concrete member after removing the short-circuit embedded object.

  The present invention has been developed to solve the above-mentioned problems. In order to protect the reinforcing bars and steel materials in the concrete, a flexible bowl-shaped conductive material is used in the case of applying an external power supply type anticorrosion. The contact member is moved in contact with the outer surface of the concrete member, the exposed metal on the concrete surface is detected by the presence or absence of a short circuit between the conductive member and the reinforcing bar in the concrete, and the short-circuit buried object existing on the concrete surface is detected. After the removal, an anticorrosion pretreatment method characterized by attaching an anode to the outer surface of the concrete member. According to this method, it is possible to easily and accurately detect the short-circuit buried object in the external power supply type electric corrosion protection, and trouble can be eliminated.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to easily detect whether or not there is a short-circuit embedded object that provides electrical continuity between the outer surface of the concrete member and the reinforcing bar in the concrete member that is to be subjected to external power supply type anticorrosion. When there is a short-circuit embedded object, the short-circuit embedded object is removed, and then an anode is attached to the outer surface of the concrete member. Therefore, it is possible to easily find the short-circuit buried object and eliminate the trouble due to the short-circuit.

  The present invention is a technique for detecting and removing a short-circuit embedded object that is applied in the case of performing an external power-source type anti-corrosion.

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a system for carrying out the method of the present invention. In this system, a conductive member 11 having a bowl shape is connected to a reinforcing bar 21 in a concrete member 20 through a display device 14 and a DC voltmeter 15 with a conductive wire 13. The concrete member 20 is provided with a groove 23 on the outer surface 14 of the concrete member 20 and is provided with an anode in order to perform an external power supply type electric corrosion protection.

  Prior to mounting the anode, the holder 12 of the bowl-shaped conductive member 11 is held and moved while the conductive member 11 is in contact with the outer surface 24 of the concrete member 20, so that the conductive member 11 and the concrete member 20 The short circuit between the reinforcing bars 21 is detected, and the presence of the short circuit embedded object 22 existing in the concrete member 20 is detected. At this time, if there is a short-circuit embedded object 22 that electrically short-circuits the outer surface 24 of the concrete member 20 or the inner surface of the groove 23 and the reinforcing bar 21, it is displayed on the display device 14.

  A DC voltmeter or the like may be used as the display means of the display device 14, but an alarm by a lamp, a buzzer or the like that operates when there is continuity may be used. When the short-circuit embedded object 22 is detected, it is removed, and then the anode of the anticorrosion device is mounted in the concrete member 20 or the groove 23 of the outer surface 24.

  The flexible bowl-shaped conductive member 11 may be a commercially available wire brush or a bowl-shaped member made of a simple conductive material. For example, when the rebar 21 in the concrete member 20 is connected to a commercially available continuity tester or the like, and the conductive member 11 is moved along the outer surface 24 of the concrete member 20, the short-circuit buried object 22 exists. Testers can react and be discovered.

  By using such a method, even a non-technical engineer can easily and reliably find the short-circuit embedded object 22 and can easily remove it, so that it can be reliably removed. It becomes possible to construct a safe cathodic protection.

It is a block diagram of the system which implements the method of this invention.
