Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water intake heads, in particular to an impact-proof multifunctional water intake head for seawater. Background Art

[0002] The water intake head is the water inlet structure of the surface water intake system and is the primary part of the entire water intake system. In freshwater intake projects, water intake heads have various shapes and have formed relatively complete design technical standards. However, these existing water intake head shapes and design technologies are not completely applicable to seawater intake design. This is because the ocean has a more complex engineering environment than rivers, lakes and reservoirs. First of all, due to the existence of wind, waves, tides and undercurrents, when the water intake head is impacted by water flow in the ocean, the direction is more changeable and the impact force is greater. There are a huge number of marine organisms living in the ocean, so the water intake head will be seriously affected by biological attachment and blockage in the ocean. The infrastructure cost of seawater intake structures is high and maintenance and management are relatively difficult. Therefore, once the water intake head fails, it will be difficult to repair, and the economic losses caused by this are also relatively serious. For this reason, we propose an impact-proof multifunctional water intake head for seawater.

[0003] The above content is only used to assist in understanding the technical solution of the present invention and does not represent that the above content is the closest prior art. Summary of the Invention

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1As shown, the present invention is an impact-proof multifunctional water intake head for seawater, including a base 1 whose bottom end is fixed on a seabed foundation for collecting water and a water inlet screen 2 arranged on the base 1, an array of water inlets are opened on the base 1, a generator 18 is provided in the base 1, and also includes a driving rod 4 and a plurality of toggle plates 5 connected to the driving rod 4, and the plurality of toggle plates 5 are all welded below the driving rod 4, the driving rod 4 is connected to the output end of the generator 18, and the top of the driving rod 4 is provided with a rotating mechanism located outside the water inlet screen 2, the rotating mechanism includes a support frame 6 connected to the driving rod 4, a connecting plate 7 parallel to the axis of the water inlet screen 2 is provided on the support frame 6, a card plate 8 is provided on the connecting plate 7, a slide rail 17 slidably connected to the card plate 8 is provided on the base 1, and a first scraper 20 is provided at the lower inner end of the connecting plate 7, and the first scraper 20 is closely fitted with the outer side of the water inlet.

[0026] For further information, see Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, a water outlet is provided on the base 1 , and the outside of the water outlet is connected to a water outlet pipe 15 , which is in an “L” shape.

[0027] For details, see Figure 3 As shown, a connecting rod can be set between the slide rail 17 and the base 1 to connect the slide rail 17 to the base 1. In order to ensure that the card plate 8 can slide on the slide rail 17 without being blocked by the connecting rod, a notch for the connecting rod to pass through is provided on the card plate 8, so that the card plate 8 will not be blocked by the connecting rod when moving on the slide rail 17.

[0028] Preferably, see Figure 3 As shown, a conversion chamber 3 is provided in the base 1, and a generator 18 and a toggle plate 5 are both arranged in the conversion chamber 3. The driving rod 4 is rotatably connected to the conversion chamber 3. A guide tube 19 communicating with the interior of the conversion chamber 3 is provided between the conversion chamber 3 and the water inlet. The interior of the guide tube 19 is connected to the interior of the conversion chamber 3. The undercurrent of seawater impacts the toggle plate 5 to rotate the toggle plate 5. The rotation of the toggle plate 5 drives the driving rod 4 to rotate. The rotation of the driving rod 4 starts the generator 18. Through the start-up of the generator 18, the force of the undercurrent of seawater is converted into electrical energy and transmitted to the substation base.

[0029] For further information, see Figure 1 As shown, a protective net 21 is provided on the water inlet, the driving rod 4 rotates to drive the support frame 6 to rotate, and the rotation of the support frame 6 drives the connecting plate 7 to move synchronously. The movement of the connecting plate 7 cleans the protective net 21 through the first scraper 20.

[0030] In the present invention, see Figure 5As shown, a filter plate 24 is provided in the water inlet partition net 2; mounting holes are formed in the filter plate 24; the top end of the driving rod 4 is movably sleeved inside the mounting hole through a bearing, and a plurality of lifting rings are connected in an array at the top of the water inlet partition net 2; the rotation of the driving rod 4 drives the rotation of the support frame 6, and the rotation of the support frame 6 drives the connecting plate 7 to move synchronously. The movement of the connecting plate 7 is used to clean the water inlet partition net 2 through the second scraper 22.

[0031] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 or Figure 3 、 4 As shown, it further includes a linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism includes a reciprocating screw rod 9 and a guide rod 10 that are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to the support frame 6. A moving block 11 is arranged on the reciprocating screw rod 9 through a thread, a gear 13 is arranged on the reciprocating screw rod 9, a guide block 23 is movably arranged on the guide rod 10, an arc-shaped connecting plate 12 is arranged between the moving block 11 and the guide block 23, and a toothed ring 14 meshing with the gear 13 is arranged on the outer wall of the water inlet partition net 2. The second cleaning part is the second scraper 22 arranged on the arc-shaped connecting plate 12. The rotation of the support frame 6 drives the movement of the connecting plate 7, and the movement of the connecting plate 7 drives the reciprocating screw rod 9 and the guide rod 10 to move synchronously. At the same time, the gear 13 meshes with the rack, causing the reciprocating screw rod 9 to rotate. Under the action of the thread, the moving block 11 drives the arc-shaped connecting plate 12 to move up and down, and the water inlet partition net 2 is cleaned through the second scraper 22.

[0032] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 As shown, a spiral winding structure 16 is provided outside the base 1. The spiral winding structure 16 is a cylindrical protrusion of reinforced concrete spirally wound around the outer periphery of the base 1. The surface of the spiral winding structure 16 is uneven. The seawater impact of the undercurrent in the ocean is made to move around the base 1 through the spiral winding structure (16). The base 1 is stably protected through the circumferential movement of the seawater, and the impact of the ocean undercurrent is guided through the spiral winding structure 16, effectively alleviating the impact of the seawater undercurrent on the base 1.

[0033] Working principle: Fix the base 1 on the seabed. When the ocean undercurrent impacts the base 1, the ocean undercurrent will enter the interior of the guide pipe 19 through the water inlet. The seawater entering the interior of the guide pipe 19 will generate an impact on the toggle plate 5. Through this impact, the toggle plate 5 rotates. While the toggle plate 5 rotates, it drives the rotation of the drive rod 4. The rotation of the drive rod 4 drives the generator 18 to start. The start of the generator 18 converts the impact force of the seawater into electrical energy. The rotation of the drive rod 4 drives the synchronous rotation of the support frame 6. The rotation of the support frame 6 drives the rotation of the connection. The rotation of the connecting plate 7 drives the synchronous movement of the reciprocating lead screw 9 and the guide rod 10. The rotation of the connecting plate 7 cleans the protective net 21 through the first scraper 20, effectively avoiding the blockage of the water inlet by marine organisms. At the same time, when the connecting plate 7 rotates, it can drive away marine organisms;

[0034] While the reciprocating lead screw 9 moves, it drives the gear 13 to mesh with the toothed ring 14 for transmission. The rotation of the gear 13 drives the rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 9. The rotation of the reciprocating lead screw 9 drives the moving block 11 to move reciprocally. The reciprocating movement of the moving block 11 drives the arc-shaped connecting plate 12 to perform a stable reciprocating movement along the guide rod 10 through the guide block 23. The reciprocating movement of the arc-shaped connecting plate 12 cleans the water inlet partition net 2 through the second scraper 22, effectively avoiding the blockage of the water inlet partition net 2 by marine organisms and ensuring the overall service life of the water intake head and the water intake effect.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
