Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydraulic dam technology, and in particular to a hydraulic dam bottom hole sand discharge device. Background Technology
[0002] Hydraulic dams are water-retaining structures that block the flow of water in rivers and canals to raise the water level or regulate the flow. They can form reservoirs, raise water levels, regulate runoff, and concentrate water head for purposes such as flood control, water supply, irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, and improved navigation. Over the years, a lot of sand and gravel will accumulate on the bottom of the dam. Current technology removes sand by lowering the dam surface, which wastes a lot of water and has low sand removal efficiency.
[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing sand removal devices to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to disclose a hydraulic dam bottom hole sand discharge device. The sand discharge cylinder is connected to the sand discharge hole at the bottom of the dam surface. Compressed air is injected into the sealed space through the first air inflator, which can push the front cover forward to block the sand discharge hole. Compressed air is injected into the annular space through the second air inflator, which can pull the front cover backward to detach it from the sand discharge hole. Thus, the sand and gravel deposited at the bottom of the water can be automatically discharged through the sand discharge hole, sand discharge cylinder and sand discharge pipe in sequence. The structure is simple, practical, and has high sand discharge efficiency. Moreover, it does not require the dam surface to be laid down, thus saving water flow.

[0008] In some embodiments, a first inflation head and a second inflation head are also provided on the housing, the first inflation head being in communication with the sealed space and the second inflation head being in communication with the annular space.
[0009] In some embodiments, the number of sand discharge pipes is two, and they are arranged symmetrically with the sand discharge cylinder as the axis of symmetry.
[0010] In some implementations, an external connecting pipe connected to the sand discharge pipe is also included.
[0011] In some embodiments, both ends of the sand discharge cylinder are provided with radially outward extending edges, and the edges are provided with a plurality of mounting holes.
[0012] In some embodiments, the sand discharge hole is located at the bottom of the hydraulic dam face.
[0013] In some embodiments, the housing is located on the backwater side of the hydraulic dam face.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Equivalent changes or substitutions in function, method, or structure made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1-4 The diagram illustrates a bottom hole sand discharge device for a hydraulic dam. The bottom hole sand discharge device 2 includes a sand discharge cylinder 4, a sand discharge pipe 5 communicating with the sand discharge cylinder 4, and a movable cover 3 located within the sand discharge cylinder 4. It also includes a housing 6 communicating with the sand discharge cylinder 4, the housing 6 being located on the backwater side 10 of the dam face 11 of the hydraulic dam 1.
[0021] The hydraulic dam 1 has a sand discharge hole (not shown) on its dam face 11. The sand discharge hole is located at the bottom of the dam face 11 of the hydraulic dam 1, so that the sand and gravel deposited on the bottom of the water can be discharged through the sand discharge hole.
[0022] Both ends of the sand discharge cylinder 4 are provided with radially outward extending edges 41, and the edges 41 are provided with a number of mounting holes (not shown), so as to facilitate the installation of one end of the sand discharge cylinder 4 to the dam surface 11 so that the sand discharge cylinder 4 and the sand discharge hole are connected, and to facilitate the connection of the other end of the sand discharge cylinder 4 to the shell 6.
[0023] The movable cover 3 includes a front cover 33, a rear cover 31, and a connecting rod 32 connecting the front cover 33 and the rear cover 31. The front cover 33 moves within the sand discharge cylinder 4, and the rear cover 31 moves within the housing 6. A sealed space 61 is formed between the rear cover 31 and the housing 6, and an annular space 62 is formed between the front cover 33 and the rear cover 31.
[0024] It also includes a first inflation head 71 and a second inflation head 72 disposed on the housing 6, wherein the first inflation head 71 is connected to the sealed space 61 and the second inflation head 72 is connected to the annular space 62.
[0025] Compressed air is injected into the sealed space 61 through the first inflation head 71, which pushes the front cover 33 forward in the sand discharge cylinder 4 until it abuts against the sand discharge hole, stopping sand discharge and preventing water from flowing from the water-facing side to the water-repellent side 10 through the sand discharge hole. Compressed air is injected into the annular space 62 through the second inflation head 72. At the same time, the injection of compressed air into the sealed space 61 through the first inflation head 71 is stopped. Under the synergistic effect of water pressure, the rear cover 31 moves backward in the shell 6 and the front cover 33 moves backward in the sand discharge cylinder 4. The front cover 33 disengages from the sand discharge hole, and the sand discharge hole, sand discharge cylinder 4 and sand discharge pipe 5 are connected. The sand and gravel deposited on the bottom of the water are automatically discharged through the sand discharge hole, sand discharge cylinder 4 and sand discharge pipe 5 in sequence. The structure is simple, practical, and has high sand discharge efficiency. It also eliminates the need for the dam surface 11 to be laid down, saving water flow.
[0026] The number of sand discharge pipes 5 is two, and they are arranged symmetrically with the sand discharge cylinder 4 as the axis of symmetry, which improves the sand discharge efficiency. It also includes an external pipe 51 connected to the sand discharge pipe 5, so as to facilitate the discharge of sand and gravel to the target location.
[0027] The movable cover 3 moves within the sand discharge cylinder 4 to block the sand discharge hole, preventing water from flowing from the upstream side to the downstream side 10 through the sand discharge hole. The movable cover 3 disengages from the sand discharge hole to connect the sand discharge hole, sand discharge cylinder 4, and sand discharge pipe 5. Sand and gravel deposited at the bottom of the water are automatically discharged sequentially through the sand discharge hole, sand discharge cylinder 4, and sand discharge pipe 5. The structure is simple, practical, and has high sand discharge efficiency. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for the dam face 11 to be lowered, thus saving water flow.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
