Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coastal engineering, and in particular to a snail tunnel type wave-breaking structure. Background Art

[0002] Coastlines are generally classified as straight or curved. Curved coastlines are more conducive to port construction, and wave-breaking structures (such as twisted W-shaped blocks or twisted I-shaped blocks, as described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215948065 U) are often placed on the coastline. However, during seasonal storm surges and astronomical tides, especially those with curved coastlines, a bay will form. Due to the gradually narrowing topography of the bay mouth, the inrush of waves generated by the storm surge gradually increases the pressure on the coastal embankments. Upon reaching the narrow area at the bottom of the bay, the waves, under the accumulated pressure, variably and uncontrollably impact the embankments, causing overflows along the coastal embankments and causing secondary disasters such as damage to infrastructure, life, and property. In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to design a technology that improves wave-breaking performance and enhances safety of use.

[0036] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or reference letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a snail tunnel type wave-breaking structure, including a wave-breaking main body 1, an arc-shaped guide channel 11 is formed inside the wave-breaking main body 1, a water inlet 12 is provided at one end of the wave-breaking main body 1, and a water outlet 13 is provided at the other end of the wave-breaking main body 1, the arc-shaped guide channel 11 is connected between the water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13, and the guide area of ​​the arc-shaped guide channel 11 gradually decreases along the direction of water flow.

[0038] Specifically, an arc-shaped guide channel 11 for water flow is formed inside the wave-breaking body 1. On the one hand, the arc-shaped guide channel 11 can guide the flow of water. On the other hand, the arc structure formed by the arc-shaped guide channel 11 can guide the water flow to redirect to reduce the overflow caused by the water flow generated by the waves directly impacting the dam.

[0039] During actual use, the water flow generated by the waves enters the wave-breaking body 1 through the water inlet 12. The water flowing in from the water inlet 12 will flow along the arc trajectory formed by the arc-shaped guide channel 11, thereby effectively slowing down the phenomenon of water directly impacting the dam and causing overflow.

[0040] Moreover, under the guidance of the arc-shaped guide channel 11, the cross-sectional area of ​​the arc-shaped guide channel 11 gradually decreases, so that the flow velocity of the water output from the water outlet 13 increases, and the water output from the water outlet 13 can be output at a high speed and impact the waves from one side at an angle opposite to the water inlet direction of the water inlet 12, so as to offset the energy of the periodically and repeatedly impacting waves and water flow, thereby more effectively reducing the impact of waves on coastal embankments.

[0041] In one embodiment, the size of the water inlet 12 is larger than that of the water outlet; and the inner wall of the arc-shaped flow guide channel is a smooth structure.

[0042] Specifically, in order to better offset the kinetic energy of the waves by diverting the water flow output by the arc-shaped guide channel 11, the opening size of the water inlet 12 is larger to allow more wave water flow to enter the arc-shaped guide channel 11, while the size of the water outlet 13 is smaller to output a higher-speed reverse water flow to offset the wave water flow.

[0043] In another embodiment, the arc-shaped flow guide channel 11 has a winding structure as a whole.

[0044] Specifically, the curved guide channel 11 has a circuitous structure, which can effectively buffer and absorb the energy of the waves and water flowing into the water inlet 12. Furthermore, the curved guide channel 11 with a circuitous structure can make the guided flow of water achieve a larger angle of deflection, thereby allowing the reverse flow output from the water outlet 13 to have a greater energy dissipation effect on the waves and water.

[0045] In some embodiments, the angle between the water inlet direction of the water inlet 12 and the water outlet direction of the water outlet 13 is 150 degrees to 270 degrees.

[0046] Specifically, the water flow directions of the water inlet 12 and the water outlet 13 are at an angle of 150 to 270 degrees. In this way, the reverse water flow output from the water outlet 13 can produce a reverse impact on the wave water flow from one side to the maximum extent, so as to minimize the impact of the wave water flow on the dam.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of drainage branches 2 are further provided on the wave-breaking body 1 , and the drainage branches 2 are connected to the arc-shaped flow guide channel 11 .

[0048] Specifically, as the cross-sectional area of ​​the curved flow channel 11 gradually decreases, the flow rate of the water gradually increases as the water flows through the curved flow channel 11, and the corresponding water pressure also increases, causing the reverse flow rate of the water output from the water outlet 13 to increase. However, due to the position of the water outlet 13 and the coverage area of ​​the water output, the reverse offset effect on the wave water flow is limited. To this end, the additional discharge branch pipe 2 can output part of the water flow from the discharge branch pipe 2 during the process of the wave water flowing through the curved flow channel 11 to achieve a step-by-step pressure relief effect. In addition, the multiple discharge branch pipes 2 will transport water in the reverse direction, and in actual use, it can also play the role of spraying water to create an ornamental landscape.

[0049] In addition, in order to enhance the step-by-step pressure relief effect of the drainage branch pipe 2 , a plurality of drainage branch pipes 2 may be provided on the arc-shaped flow guide channel 11 , and the plurality of drainage branch pipes 2 are arranged in sequence along the water flow direction.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, a guide block 3 is further included, and the guide block 3 is arranged at the water inlet 12.

[0051] Specifically, by arranging the guide block 3 at the water inlet 12 , the guide block 3 is used to guide the wave water flow, so that more water flows into the water inlet 12 .

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the wave-breaking body 1 includes two symmetrically arranged wave-breaking blocks 10, each of which has an arc-shaped flow channel 11 formed inside. A water inlet 12 is provided at one end of the wave-breaking body 1, and a water outlet 13 is provided at the other end of the wave-breaking body 1.

[0053] Inclined guide surfaces 31 are respectively provided on both sides of the guide block 3 , and the guide surfaces 31 extend toward the water inlet 12 on the corresponding side.

[0054] Specifically, two wave-breaking blocks 10 are provided with guide blocks 3 in the water inlet direction to guide the wave water flow into the corresponding water inlet 12 through the guide surface 31. The two wave-breaking blocks 10 arranged side by side can fully utilize the same guide block 3 for diversion processing, thereby reducing manufacturing costs.

[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the water outlets 13 of the two wave-breaking blocks 10 are arranged adjacent to each other. Alternatively, the water inlets 12 of the two wave-breaking blocks 10 are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0056] When two water outlets 13 are arranged adjacent to each other, the water outlet direction of the water outlet 13 will be output from the interval position between the guide block 3 and the water inlet 12, thereby playing the role of continuously counteracting the kinetic energy of the waves and water flow in the opposite direction.

[0057] In another embodiment, the arc-shaped flow guides 11 of the two wave-breaking blocks 10 are connected by a connecting pipe 4 near the water outlet 13, so that the arc-shaped flow guides 11 in the wave-breaking blocks 10 on both sides are connected through the two connecting pipes 4.

[0058] Since the water outlet 13 is blocked by the guide block 3 , the output area thereof is limited. Therefore, a pressure relief pipe 5 may be further provided on the connecting pipe 4 .

[0059] Specifically, an additional pressure relief pipe 5 is installed on the connecting pipe 4. The curved guide channels 11 on both sides convey water near the water outlet 13, where the water pressure is relatively high. Part of the water flows through the connecting pipe 4 and is discharged from the pressure relief pipe 5 to further relieve pressure. The water outlet height of the pressure relief pipe 5 is higher than the guide block 3 on the front side, which allows the water discharged from the pressure relief pipe 5 to be directly ejected into the sea in the opposite direction.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are: by arranging a water inlet and a water outlet on the wave-breaking body, and the water inlet and the water outlet are connected by an arc-shaped guide channel, the water flows through the water inlet into the arc-shaped guide channel under the action of waves, and the arc structure of the arc-shaped guide channel is used to effectively buffer and unload the impact of the water flow, so as to reduce the situation where the waves directly impact the dam and overflow, and effectively solve the problem of tide overflow and erosion of the coastline; and, because the arc-shaped guide channel of the arc structure changes the flow direction of the water flow, the water flow output from the outlet can be used to further resist the impact of the water flow generated by the waves, and the waves are buffered by adopting the arc-shaped guide channel, the wave-breaking performance of the snail tunnel type wave-breaking structure is improved to improve the safety of use.

[0061] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0062] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
