ANTICORROTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546228 titled 'ANTICORROTION SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for preventing corrosion in buried anchors connected to utility poles using an anti-corrosion current supplied by a power supply with a photovoltaic cell.

  • The system includes an anchor buried near a utility pole, connected by a guy wire rod, and coupled to an electrode buried in the ground.
  • A power supply provides an anti-corrosion current to the underground portion of the guy wire rod and the anchor, with the electrode acting as an anode and the anchor and guy wire rod as a cathode.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in various industries where buried anchors are used, such as telecommunications, construction, and utilities.

Problems Solved

This technology helps prevent corrosion in buried anchors, increasing their lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

Benefits

- Extended lifespan of buried anchors - Reduced maintenance costs - Environmentally friendly anti-corrosion solution

Potential Commercial Applications

"Anti-Corrosion System for Buried Anchors in Utility Poles: Commercial Applications"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to anti-corrosion systems for buried structures, such as pipelines or underground cables.

Original Abstract Submitted

An anchor is buried in the ground near a place where a utility pole is installed. A guy wire is connected to the utility pole. A guy wire rod couples the anchor and the guy wire. An electrode is buried in the ground near a place where the anchor is buried. A power supply supplies an anti-corrosion current with an underground portion of the guy wire rod and the anchor as a cathode and the electrode as an anode. The power supply includes a photovoltaic cell.
