Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, specifically to a pressure water tank that coordinates and improves the inlet and outlet flow patterns of a bidirectional pumping station. Background Technology
[0002] Pressure tanks are mostly used in dike-type drainage pumping stations. They are located between the pump house outlet channel and the water conveyance culvert. As a collection tank for the pumping unit, they mainly play the role of energy dissipation and flow stabilization, so that floodwater can be smoothly and evenly transported to the discharge area of the outlet channel through the water conveyance culvert.
[0003] Common pressure tanks have continuous partition walls. For pumping stations with only pumping functions, pressure tanks with continuous partition walls can solve the problem of turbulent outflow. However, for bidirectional dike-type pumping stations with both pumping and reverse water diversion functions, the pressure tank also serves as the forebay for reverse water diversion. Currently, pressure tanks with continuous partition walls are still commonly used in engineering. Although they can ensure a good outflow under flood drainage conditions, under reverse water diversion conditions, the partition walls can obstruct water flow, making it impossible to guarantee a balanced distribution of water in the inlet channels of each unit. This leads to uneven flow velocity, turbulent water flow, and may even generate vortices. Once the vortex enters the pump, it will cause strong vibration of the pump unit, seriously affecting the performance of the unit and the safe operation of the pumping station.
[0004] While pressure tanks without partition walls can solve the problem of turbulent flow in reverse water intake, the drainage water flow is laterally mixed and collided at the end of the channel, which can easily form an undesirable flow pattern, cause unit vibration, reduce pump operating efficiency, and result in a large structural span, high internal forces, safety issues, large engineering workload, and uneconomical operation.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] This application provides a pressure water tank that coordinates and improves the inlet and outlet flow patterns of a bidirectional pumping station, thus solving the problem that the pressure water tank cannot guarantee good flow patterns for both forward and reverse water intake.
[0049] The technical solution in this application is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:
[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the pressure tank can also serve as a reverse water diversion forebay. A porous, continuous frame structure is formed within the tank by combining short partitions and cylinders. The short partitions are connected to the ends of the flow channel partitions in the pump house, effectively dividing the water body while ensuring good flow patterns during both drainage and reverse water diversion, avoiding eddies and flow deviations. The cylinders are evenly spaced along the streamline direction of the short partitions in the transition section, minimizing the water-blocking area and maximizing water flow exchange within the tank while meeting structural strength requirements, thus ensuring reverse water diversion. The water in the inlet channels of each unit is evenly distributed to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the pumps. The center diffusion angle β of the tank is 25° to 30°, which ensures that the water flow does not detach from the tank sidewalls, the water flow is smooth and there is no backflow, and the project is economical. At the same time, it meets the requirement that the underwater volume of the forebay used for reverse water intake should not be less than 80 times the design flow rate. The longitudinal slope of the top and bottom plates of the tank is appropriately slowed down, and neither is steeper than 1:4, which ensures that the flow state in the pressure tank is good under the conditions of flood drainage and reverse water intake, and ensures that the unit can operate safely, efficiently and stably.
[0051] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0052] Example:
[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a pressure water tank for coordinating and improving the inlet and outlet flow patterns of a bidirectional pumping station. The pressure water tank includes: a tank body 10, short partitions 20, and a cylinder 21.
[0054] The box body 10 includes: a constant width section 11 and a gradient section 12; the constant width section 11 is connected to the pump house 30, and the gradient section 12 is connected to the water conveyance culvert 40.
[0055] The short partition 20 is sequentially installed at the end of the flow channel partition wall of the pump room 30, and the short partition 20 is rigidly fixed to the top and bottom plates of the equal width section 11.
[0056] The cylinders 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the streamline direction of the short partition 20, and the cylinders 21 are rigidly connected to the top and bottom plates of the transition section 12.
[0057] The center diffusion angle β of the box 10 is 25° to 30°;
[0058] The top plate of the box 10 is provided with a longitudinal slope, and the longitudinal slope ratio of the top plate to m1 is not steeper than 1:4;
[0059] The bottom plate of the box 10 is provided with a longitudinal slope, and the longitudinal slope ratio of the bottom plate to m2 is not steeper than 1:4.
[0060] The pressure tank can also serve as a reverse water intake forebay. By combining short partitions 20 and cylinders 21 within the tank body 10, with the short partitions 20 connected sequentially to the end of the flow channel partition wall in the pump house 30, the water body can be effectively divided. This ensures good flow during both drainage and reverse water intake, avoiding eddies and flow deviations. The cylinders 21 are evenly spaced along the streamline direction of the short partitions 20 in the transition section 12, minimizing the water-blocking area and maximizing water flow exchange within the tank while meeting structural strength requirements. This ensures that each pump can operate smoothly during reverse water intake. The balanced distribution of water in the unit's inlet channel ensures efficient and safe operation of the pumps. The center diffusion angle β of the tank 10 is 25° to 30°, ensuring that the water flow does not detach from the tank sidewalls, resulting in smooth water flow without backflow and economical engineering. At the same time, it meets the requirement that the underwater volume of the forebay used for reverse water intake should not be less than 80 times the design flow rate. The longitudinal slope of the top and bottom plates of the tank 10 is appropriately reduced, with neither slope exceeding 1:4, ensuring good flow in the pressure tank under both flood drainage and reverse water intake conditions, thus ensuring the safe, efficient, and stable operation of the unit.
[0061] The lengths D and L of the equal-width section 11 and the gradually changing section 12 in the direction of water flow are determined based on the central diffusion angle β and the requirement that the underwater volume of the forebay, which also serves as a reverse water intake pool, should not be less than 80 times the design water intake flow rate under the minimum water intake condition. The specific formula is as follows:
[0062]
[0063]
[0064] V≥80Q;
[0065] Where Q is the design flow rate for reverse water diversion, in m³ / s. 3 / s;

[0067] β is the center contraction angle of the pressure tank, which is 25° to 30°;
[0068] B1 is the starting width of the transition section, in meters (m).
[0069] B2 is the width at the end of the transition section, in meters (m).
[0070] L is the length of the transition segment, in meters (m).
[0071] D represents the length of the equal-width section, in meters, and must be no less than 4.0 meters.
[0072] h1 is the water depth under the diaphragm in the equal-width section, in meters;
[0073] h2 is the initial water depth of the transition section, in meters;
[0074] h3 is the water depth at the end of the transition section, in meters;
[0075] h4 represents the height difference between the culvert sill and the pressure water tank sill, in meters (m).
[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, a baffle 22 is sequentially installed at the end of the double-layer flow channel baffle of the pump room 30. The baffle 22 has the same length as the short baffle 20. It not only guides the flow and eliminates vortices, but also improves the structural stress of the box 10 and enhances the structural stability. The thickness of the baffle 22 is determined according to the structural strength calculation and is not less than 0.5 meters.
[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the length of the tank 10 in the direction of water flow is determined according to the central diffusion angle β and the underwater volume requirement of the forebay that also serves as a reverse water intake pool. The length D of the equal width section 11 is 4.2 meters, and the length L of the transition section 12 is 18.5 meters. The central diffusion angle β of the tank 10 is 30°, and the longitudinal slope ratios m1 and m2 of the top plate are both 1:4, which ensures that the water flow does not detach from the sidewalls of the tank 10, and the water flow is smooth without backflow. Under the lowest reverse water intake condition, the underwater volume of the tank 10 is 105 times the design water intake flow rate, which meets the requirement that the underwater volume of the forebay that also serves as a reverse water intake pool should not be less than 80 times the design flow rate, thus ensuring the safe, efficient and stable operation of the unit.
[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, the length of the short partition 20 is the same as the length D of the equal width section 11. The thickness of the short partition 20 is 0.6 to 1.1 meters. The planar shape of the short partition 20 is set as a gradually streamlined shape with rounded corners at the ends.
[0079] like Figure 1 As shown, the diameter of the cylinder 21 is not less than 0.8 meters, and the center distance between adjacent cylinders 21 flowing upstream is 3 times the diameter of the cylinder 21.
[0080] like Figure 2As shown, a vent pipe 13 is installed in the top plate of the box body 10 near the pump house. The bottom end of the vent pipe 13 is connected to the interior of the box body 10, and the top end of the vent pipe 13 is connected to the external space of the box body 10. The top end of the vent pipe 13 is located in a remote place, separate from the pump station building, and the elevation of the top end of the vent pipe 13 is 2 meters higher than the flood control level on the outer river side. The vent pipe 13 is a stainless steel pipe with a diameter of not less than 0.15 meters. The number of vent pipes 13 is determined according to the required effective ventilation area to ensure sufficient safe and reliable ventilation area, ensure effective exchange between the airflow inside the box body 10 and the outside air, avoid water flow turbulence, and eliminate structural cavitation damage.
[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, the top of the box body 10 is provided with an access well 50. The top elevation of the access well 50 is 0.3 to 0.5 meters above the ground, and the planar dimensions are not less than 0.8 meters * 1.8 meters. The top of the access well 50 is provided with a cover plate 51, which is a Q235 steel plate with a thickness of not less than 14 mm.
[0082] The 50-meter manhole is used for hoisting equipment, pressure water tank maintenance, and dredging.
[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, channel steel 52 is fixed around the manhole 50. The channel steel 52 is fixed to the cover plate 51 by bolts and nuts. A rubber waterstop ring is set between the channel steel 52 and the cover plate 51 to ensure the flood protection safety of the box body 10. The channel steel 52 is 10 mm thick and the rubber waterstop ring is 10 mm thick. The cover plate 51 is equipped with a DN50 automatic air vent valve 53 and a Z45T-10 gate valve 54 to eliminate the damage of cavitation to the concrete structure, improve the water flow pattern, and improve the unit operating efficiency.
[0084] The box body 10, short partition 20, column 21 and partition 22 are all made of reinforced concrete with a concrete strength grade of not less than C25.
[0085] The pressure tank is designed to drain water with a flow rate of 35.3 m³ / h. 3 / s, designed reverse water diversion flow rate 15.0m³ / s. 3 The pumping station, with a capacity of 4 vertical axial flow pumps per second, employs an "X"-shaped bidirectional box-type flow channel. Drainage and water diversion functions are achieved through control of the inlet and outlet gates of the flow channel. The project mainly consists of an intake channel, a debris interception and maintenance gate, a drainage forebay, a pump house, a pressure tank, a water conveyance culvert, and a flood control gate. The pressure tank serves as the drainage collection tank for the unit and also functions as a reverse water diversion forebay. The project utilizes a multi-hole continuous frame structure formed by combining reinforced concrete short piers and columns within the pressure tank. The design rationally determines the central diffusion angle of the pressure tank and meets the underwater volume requirements of the forebay. The longitudinal slope of the top and bottom slabs is appropriately reduced, effectively resolving the problem of turbulent flow patterns when the pressure tank discharges water and also serves as the forebay in a bidirectional pumping station. After the pumping station was completed and put into operation, no abnormal vibrations were observed in the unit's operation, the pump performance was highly efficient, and no significant deformation or cracks were found in the pressure tank structure.
[0086] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0087] 1. In this embodiment of the invention, the pressure tank can also serve as a reverse water diversion forebay.

At the same time, it meets the requirement that the underwater volume of the forebay used for reverse water intake should not be less than 80 times the design flow rate.
