The invention provides a
sediment removal
system and a method for preventing
sediment accumulation at a canal
bed of a canal. The
sediment removal
system comprises a V-shaped vortex
pipe and siphons, wherein the V-shaped vortex
pipe is positioned at the canal
bed of the canal, and is used to form spiral flows; a V-shaped sharp corner points to the direction opposite to the direction of a
water flow; openings are formed in the
water flow facing sides of the vortex
pipe; the
tail ends of the vortex pipe are close to the bottom of a canal
bank of the canal; one end of one
siphon is communicated with one
tail end of the vortex pipe correspondingly; and the other ends of the siphons bypass the tops of the canal
bank to extend to the outer sides of the canal. According to the sediment removal
system and the method, the flow speeds of
helical flows along the axial directions of the vortex pipe can be increased through the siphons, so that the sediment removal efficiency is improved, the sediment removal system is green and environmental-friendly; in addition, the siphons bypass the top of the canal
bank to extend to the outer sides of the canal, so that the
impact on the structural strength of the canal bank is avoided; moreover, the vortex pipe of the sediment removal system is V-shaped, so that the two
helical flows flowing to the two
tail ends of the vortex pipe respectively can be formed, the siphons can be arranged at the two tail ends of the vortex pipe, and the sediment removal efficiency is improved.
