Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a water release structure of spillway combined with a discharge hole and a vertical shaft spillway of a hydropower station. BACKGROUND

[0002] A hydropower station is a building in which a dam is arranged on a river channel so that a large water level difference exists between the upstream and downstream sides of the dam, and when water in a reservoir on the upstream side of the dam flows to the downstream side of the dam, the water drives the operation of power generation equipment in the dam to generate electricity. The water storage capacity of the reservoir on the upstream side of the dam is affected by factors such as weather and power station operation, and the water storage capacity and water level of the reservoir may exceed the bearing value at the time of construction of the hydropower station. It is necessary to discharge the excess water storage in the reservoir on the upstream side of the hydropower station.

[0003] At present, in a hydropower station, a discharge hole and a vertical shaft spillway are often used to discharge the water storage in the reservoir on the upstream side of the hydropower station. The inlet end of the discharge hole is arranged at a position below the dead water level in the reservoir, so that the discharge hole is a pressurized tunnel when it is in operation; after energy dissipation through the vertical shaft, the return tunnel of the vertical shaft spillway is a non-pressurized tunnel. The lining structure and grouting of the return tunnel of the vertical shaft spillway are designed according to a non-pressurized tunnel. At present, the discharge hole and the vertical shaft spillway are generally considered separately, and the discharge hole and the vertical shaft spillway need to consider separate exit openings, which is large in engineering quantity and investment; if the discharge hole and the vertical shaft spillway are combined, the pressurized water flow in the discharge hole will change the stress mode in the combined section of the discharge hole and the vertical shaft spillway, and the lining structure and grouting scheme of the combined section of the discharge hole and the vertical shaft spillway need to be adjusted accordingly. SUMMARY

[0016] The utility model will be further explained in detail below in combination with the drawings and through examples. The following examples are an explanation of the utility model, but the utility model is not limited to the following examples.

[0017] The embodiment is a water discharge structure of a hydropower station combining a discharge hole with a vertical shaft spillway. The hydropower station is arranged on a river channel. The upstream of the hydropower station is stored with water and forms a reservoir.

[0018] In the embodiment, a vertical shaft spillway is arranged in the river channel. A vertical shaft 2 is arranged in the reservoir on the upstream side of the hydropower station. A discharge hole 4 is connected to the bottom of the vertical shaft 2. The discharge hole outlet 8 of the discharge hole 4 is located at the downstream of the hydropower station. In this way, when the water level in the reservoir is higher than the top end of the vertical shaft 2, the excess water in the reservoir will flow into the discharge hole 4 through the vertical shaft 2 and be finally discharged to the downstream side of the hydropower station, realizing the discharge of the excess water in the reservoir. The discharge hole 4 is a non-pressure flow in the process of water discharge of the vertical shaft spillway, and the flow has a small scouring effect on the vertical shaft spillway.

[0019] In the embodiment, a discharge hole 1 is further arranged on the hydropower station. The inlet end of the discharge hole 1 is arranged at a position below the water level in the reservoir. An emergency gate is arranged at the upstream hole section of the discharge hole 1. In this way, the emergency gate needs to be opened in the process of water discharge or emptying of the discharge hole 1. At this time, the flow flows into the discharge hole 1 under the water pressure in the reservoir. The flow flowing into the discharge hole 1 is a pressure flow. The discharge hole 1 needs to be designed in structure and grouting according to the pressure tunnel.

[0020] In the embodiment, the outlet end of the discharge hole 1 is connected to the discharge hole 4. This greatly shortens the construction length of the discharge hole 1 and can not set the discharge hole opening, saving the construction cost. The downstream hole section of the discharge hole 4 at the position connected to the discharge hole 1 is a discharge hole combination hole section 5. The water discharged from the discharge hole 1 flows into the discharge hole combination hole section 5 and is finally discharged from the discharge hole outlet 8.

[0021] In the embodiment, the combination arrangement mode of the discharge hole and the vertical shaft spillway does not change the design scheme of the non-pressure tunnel of the discharge hole. The two holes are truly combined, the tunnel length of the discharge hole is reduced, and the outlet of the discharge hole is cancelled.

[0022] In the embodiment, the hole plug structure 6 and the pressure slope structure 7 are arranged on the inner wall of the flat section behind the accident maintenance gate of the discharge hole 1 during the construction of the discharge hole 1. The number of the hole plug structure 6 is two or more, which can be set according to the energy dissipation requirement. The number of the pressure slope structure 7 is one, which is arranged on the downstream side of the hole plug structure 6. In this way, the hole plug structure 6 relies on the sudden contraction and sudden expansion of the water flow to dissipate the energy of the water flow. The pressure slope structure 7 adjusts the flow pattern of the water flow by the top pressure slope, so that the pressurized water flow becomes non-pressurized water flow after passing through the energy dissipation structure. The non-pressurized water flow is weakly eroded to the structure hole section 5 of the water outlet hole 4 when flowing from the outlet of the discharge hole 1 into the water outlet hole 4. The hole plug structure 6 and the pressure slope structure 7 are simple in structure and can save construction cost.

[0023] In the embodiment, the hole plug structure 6 and the pressure slope structure 7 are both formed by pouring concrete on the inner wall of the discharge hole 1 during the construction of the discharge hole 1. The hole plug structure 6 is a concrete structure poured on the inner wall of the discharge hole 1, and a water flow passage is arranged on the hole plug structure 6. The pressure slope structure 7 is a concrete structure poured on the inner wall of the discharge hole 1, and the pressure slope structure 7 is arranged at the top position of the discharge hole 1. The water-approaching end of the pressure slope structure 7 is arc-shaped, and the top pressure slope adjusts the flow pattern of the water flow.

[0024] In the embodiment, the accident maintenance gate well 3 is arranged at the position of the accident maintenance gate in the discharge hole 1. In this way, personnel can enter the accident maintenance gate well 3 to operate the accident maintenance gate, and the water flow in the discharge hole 1 can be discharged.

[0025] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
