TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND
[0002] The silt management and river regulation of rivers are not only a difficult problem for thousands of years, but also a major problem that cannot be perfectly solved by water conservancy workers all over the world at present.

The two banks of the river have been the place for human reproduction since ancient times, and the influence of the river on human activities is very far-reaching. The river has a water conservancy side and a water disaster side. In order to change water disaster into benefit, prevent flood and disaster, and dredge the river, engineering measures such as building flood control dikes, revetments, dikes, and mat piles are taken to protect the two banks of the river; anti-erosion technologies suitable for different soil structures of river banks are developed, such as vertical strip scour reduction of protection wall, river gate slope, and riprap.

After the flow rate is reduced, the sediment is quickly deposited in the near-shore area, forming a slow-flowing water power condition for beach siltation, thereby protecting the river bank. These technologies are mostly passive protection along the coast, and have many problems such as huge investment, short-term effect, unstable effect, effect failure, forced repeated construction, and the like. They cannot fundamentally solve the problem from the source, which is the fundamental reason why humans have been constantly managing rivers for thousands of years but have not been able to completely solve the problem.

[0058] Within the height range of the flow regulating vane, four layers of circular circle beams are arranged, each layer of the circle beam is connected with two 1# frame columns and two 2# frame columns, and is welded to form an integral structure, and the circle beam, the frame column and the frame beam form an integral force structure together, which meets the stability of the integral force of the flow regulating vane under various operating conditions.
[0059] 2-4 truss beam:
[0060] The main structure of the flow regulating vane is a truss beam, and the truss beam adopts a light steel three-dimensional space multi-link structure to reduce the self weight and meet the force requirement of the flow regulating vane.
[0061] The truss beam is connected with the outer side of the 1# frame column as a fixed end.
[0062] 2-5 steel strand inclined strengthening cable:
[0063] In order to strengthen the vertical force structure of the truss beam of the flow regulating vane, a plurality of steel strand cables are arranged to connect different positions of the near, middle and far of the outer side of the 1# frame beam and the truss beam of the flow regulating vane, so as to strengthen the vertical stability of the truss beam of the flow regulating vane. The steel strand inclined strengthening cable is arranged symmetrically left and right.
[0064] 2-6 steel strand horizontal strengthening cable:
[0065] In order to strengthen the horizontal force structure of the truss beam of the flow regulating vane, a plurality of steel strand cables are arranged to connect different positions of the near, middle and far of the side of the 2# frame beam and the truss beam of the flow regulating vane, so as to strengthen the horizontal stability of the truss beam of the flow regulating vane. The steel strand horizontal strengthening cable is arranged symmetrically left and right.
[0066] 2-7 surface baffle of the truss beam of the flow regulating vane:
[0067] The surface baffle is arranged on the surface of the truss beam of the flow regulating vane, and the surface baffle is fixed with the truss beam.
[0068] The water baffle can adopt various shapes such as hole type, horizontal grid type and vertical grid type, which can not only disturb water flow but also reduce water pressure on the water baffle.
[0069] The various water baffles can be used alone or in combination.
[0070] The flow regulating blade lifting and rotating system 3 is a screw lifting and rotating mechanism arranged at the center of the frame beam 1# and 2#, which lifts and rotates the flow regulating blade system. The screw lifting and rotating mechanism is composed of a screw 3-1, a screw lifting gear 3-2, a gear disc upper fixer 3-3 and a motor 3-4.
[0071] 3-1 Screw:
[0072] The screw is located at the center of the column top, and the screw is tightly connected with the center column through a pre-embedded part.

[0074] 3-2 Screw lifting gear disc:
[0075] The screw lifting gear disc is arranged on the upper part of the frame beam.
[0076] The gear disc center is engaged with the screw through threads.
[0077] The gear disc is a combined structure of inner and outer teeth.
[0078] When the flow regulating blade system is lifted, the inner and outer teeth of the gear disc are fixed together and rotate synchronously, and through the rotation of the gear along the screw, the gear disc with the flow regulating blade system rises and falls along the screw.
[0079] When the flow regulating blade system rotates, the flow regulating blade system is first lifted, so that the lower end of the positioning strip on the flow regulating blade system frame column is higher than the upper end of the center column surface clamping strip. At this time, the gear disc center is fixed with the screw, and does not rotate along the screw, the fixer of the inner and outer teeth of the gear disc is opened, and the outer teeth of the gear disc can rotate along the inner teeth. Through the rotation of the motor gear, the outer teeth of the gear disc rotate along the inner teeth, thereby driving the flow regulating blade system to rotate around the center column. The positioning device is arranged on the gear disc, and the motor stops running every 5° of the rotation of the gear disc, so that the flow regulating blade system can rotate along the center column in units of 5°, and after rotating to the required angle, the gear disc center is fixed with the screw, and the inner and outer teeth of the gear disc are fixed together. At this time, the gear disc can rotate along the screw, and the flow regulating blade system is lowered to the required height.

[0085] The motor provides power for the operation of the entire system, and the motor gear engages with the gear plate gear.
[0086] The motor is fixed on the frame beam.
[0087] The motor can rotate forward and reverse.
[0088] 4, solar power storage system provides power for the entire system, composed of solar panels, batteries, cables, and transformers.

[0095] The battery and the transformer, and the transformer and the motor are connected by cables.
[0096] (4) Transformer
[0097] The transformer steps up the low voltage of the battery and supplies it to the motor.
[0098] The transformer is fixed on the upper part of the frame beam.
[0099] 5, video monitoring system is used for real-time acquisition of water flow, sediment and other river flow live and system operation live.
[0100] The video monitoring system uses a 360° high-definition camera, which is fixed on the top of the screw rod and under the solar panel.

[0104] The remote control system can remotely control the operation of the system in real time through real-time communication control.
[0105] For example:
[0106] Through the video, the flow condition is observed, and the height of the flow regulating slice system needs to be adjusted. Then the remote control system can issue instructions to raise or lower the height of the flow regulating slice system.
[0107] Through the video, the flow condition is observed, and the angle of the flow regulating slice system needs to be adjusted. Then the remote control system can issue instructions to adjust the angle of the flow regulating slice system.
[0108] The remote communication control system can adjust the operation condition of the system in real time according to the actual situation on site through remote video and remote control, so as to adapt to various operating conditions in real time. These information can be stored, which can also provide basic data for later analysis and research.
[0109] Example 1 (concentrating flow)
[0110] When the main flow of a certain section of river is too dispersed and needs to be concentrated, the flow regulating system can be set in the river, and the flow regulating slice is arranged in an "internal eight" shape with the flow direction. Initially, the angle between the flow regulating slice and the main flow can be increased to increase the range of action of the flow regulating slice. When the dispersion degree of the flow is improved, the angle between the flow regulating slice and the main flow can be gradually reduced to finally complete the task of returning to the main flow.
[0111] For example, when the inflow of a river is Q = 0.933 L / s, the flow velocity is v = 0.123 m / s, and the Froude number Fr = 0.34, the flow enters the whole section of the inlet. In order to concentrate the flow to the middle of the river, the flow regulating system is arranged at the beginning and middle of the river, and the flow regulating slice is arranged in an internal "eight" shape. The tracer (white substance in the figure) is thrown on the original river (without the flow regulating system) and the reconstructed river (with the flow regulating system), respectively. The movement trajectory of the tracer can be observed to judge the flow regulating effect of the flow regulating system, as shown in Figure 11 .
[0112] In the original river channel a, the tracer diffuses and transports along the longitudinal and transverse directions and disperses in the whole river channel; while in the reconstructed river channel b, the tracer mainly concentrates in the middle of the river channel and transports along the longitudinal direction, because when the water flow passes through the flow regulating vane, the water flow is guided to flow in the middle and the main flow obviously concentrates in the middle of the river channel, after a certain distance, the flow regulating effect of the first stage flow regulating system is weakened, the main flow has a tendency to disperse to the two banks in the process of flowing downward, and then the water flow passes through the second stage flow regulating system located in the middle of the river channel and is again concentrated and flows downward under the flow regulating effect of the vane, in the process of flowing downward, the main flow slightly diffuses along the transverse direction but still remains in the middle range.
[0113] Example 2 (dispersion of water flow)
[0114] When the main flow of the river channel is too concentrated, the problem of overcutting of the main channel of the river channel with large flow rate occurs, at this time, the main flow needs to be dispersed when the river channel is regulated, the flow regulating system can be arranged in the river channel to arrange the flow regulating vanes in an outward eight character shape with the water flow, the flow regulating vane system is used to disturb the water flow to gradually disperse the water flow to the two banks or one bank. The flow regulating vane is arranged at a small angle with the main flow at the initial stage of regulation, when the main flow is dispersed to some extent, the angle between the flow regulating vane and the main flow is gradually increased to further disperse the main flow.
[0115] For example, when the incoming flow rate of the river channel Q =0.933 L / s, the flow rate v =0.123 m / s, and the Froude number Fr=0.34, the water flow enters in the middle of the inlet section, in order to disperse the main flow, the flow regulating system is arranged on the river channel, the flow regulating vanes are arranged in an outward eight character shape, the tracers (white substances in the figure) are respectively thrown on the original river channel and the reconstructed river channel (the flow regulating system is added) to observe the movement track of the tracers to judge the flow regulating effect of the flow regulating system, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Figure 12 and Figure 13
[0116] As can be seen from the original river channel a, the tracer mainly concentrates in the middle of the river channel and transports along the longitudinal direction in the process of flowing downward. In the reconstructed river channel b with small angle of the flow regulating system, the main flow is dispersed under the effect of the flow regulating system, the tracer obviously deviates from the central axis and transports along the two banks downward, while in the reconstructed river channel c with large angle of the flow regulating system, the larger the angle between the flow regulating vane and the main flow, the more obvious the dispersion of the main flow, and the dispersion angle is positively correlated with the angle between the flow regulating vane and the main flow.
[0117] When the main channel of a river is scoured deeply due to the over - concentration of the main flow, the flow velocity magnitude and direction can also be changed by setting flow - regulating blades in the river channel. For example, during the flood season, flow - regulating blades are set in the main channel, and the height of the flow - regulating blades is adjusted to reduce the flow velocity of the riverbed water flow and the scouring of the main channel. During the dry season, the height and angle of the flow - regulating blades are changed to deflect the high - speed water flow with a small sediment content on the surface layer away from the main channel, promoting the sedimentation of sediment in the water flow with a relatively large sediment content in the lower layer and repairing the scouring depth of the main channel.
[0118] Example 3 (Changing the direction of the main flow or the flow - guiding effect)
[0119] When the main flow of a river channel deflects towards one bank or the main flow concentrates in the middle of the river channel, resulting in deep scouring of the riverbed by the main flow, it is necessary to direct part of the water flow towards the middle of the river channel or a certain bank of the river channel. Especially when there is a formed siltation body in the middle of the river channel or a certain bank of the river channel, affecting the water flow conveyance of the entire river channel, the flow streamline of the river channel water flow can be changed by setting a flow - regulating system in the river channel. When the heights and angles of the blades of the flow - regulating system are different, the scouring or siltation of the river channel can be reduced to different degrees.
[0120] 3.1 Directing the main flow on the right bank towards the middle of the river channel
[0121] For example, when the incoming flow of the river channel Q = 0.933 L / s, the flow velocity v = 0.123 m / s, and the Froude number Fr = 0.34, the main flow of the river channel enters along the right bank. To avoid the concentrated scouring of the right bank by the water flow, when rectifying the river channel, it is necessary to direct the water flow towards the middle of the river channel, which can be achieved by arranging a multi - level flow - regulating system on the river channel. First, a single flow - regulating system is set at the entrance, and then the flow - regulating systems are arranged in a "V" - shaped or a "zigzag" - shaped pattern (left - right staggered "V" - shaped pattern) in the upper and middle reaches of the river channel respectively. As shown in Figure 14 and Figure 15 different included - angle schemes (the included angle between the flow - regulating blade and the main - flow direction) are given, and the flow - guiding effect of the flow - regulating system is observed through the experiment of releasing tracer substances on the original river channel (without installing the flow - regulating system) and the modified river channel (with installing the flow - regulating system) respectively.
[0122] 3.2 Directing the main flow in the middle of the river channel towards one bank
[0123] For example, when the incoming flow of the river channel Q = 0.933 L / s, the flow velocity v = 0.123 m / s, and the Froude number Fr = 0.34, the water flow enters in the middle of the inlet cross - section. To direct the main flow in the middle towards the left bank of the river channel, the flow - regulating systems are arranged on the river channel according to different schemes, as shown in Figure 16 and Figure 17 The flow - guiding effect of the flow - regulating system is observed through the experiment of releasing tracer substances on the original river channel (without installing the flow - regulating system) and the modified river channel (with installing the flow - regulating system) respectively.
[0124] As can be seen from the figures, the tracer in the original river channel a is concentrated in the middle of the river channel and transported downstream, while in the reconstructed river channels b-d, the main flow is dispersed from the middle to one bank under the action of the flow regulating system. The arrangement scheme of the flow regulating system is different, and the movement of the tracer is different. For example, in the reconstructed river channel b, the tracer is mainly concentrated in the left bank of the river channel and transported longitudinally. This is because in the reconstructed river channel b, when the water flow passes through the slurry sheet, it is mainly constrained in the width direction of the slurry sheet, and the main flow gradually converges to the left bank. After the flow regulating effect of the three-stage flow regulating system, the main flow gradually reaches the left bank and flows downstream. As can be seen from the reconstructed river channels c and d, each stage of the flow regulating system has a certain influence length, and the flow regulating effect becomes more obvious with the increase of the number of stages.
[0125] From the above examples, it can be inferred that in a meandering river channel, in order to prevent the scouring of the water flow on the concave bank, the flow regulating system can be used to divert the water flow away from the concave bank upstream and at the concave bank, thereby solving the problem of scouring on the concave bank. At the same time, in order to prevent the accumulation of sediment on the convex bank, the flow regulating system is used to divert the water flow towards the convex bank upstream and at the convex bank, thereby flushing the accumulated sediment on the convex bank downstream, thereby solving the problem of sediment accumulation on the convex bank.
[0126] Example 4 (Change the flow pattern of the river channel and increase the bed forming flow rate.)
[0127] For a meandering river channel, in the flood season and dry season, the river channel will be silted and raised, forming a shaped silt body, which will disperse the water flow and make the river channel become wide and shallow. By arranging the flow regulating system in the river channel and adjusting the height and arrangement angle of the flow regulating slurry sheet, the flow rate of the river bed surface is increased, the kinetic energy of the water flow is utilized, and the main river channel is formed. The volume of the silt body is reduced, the flood discharge channel is dredged, and the safety of flood discharge is ensured. After the formation of the main river channel, the water flow flows along the main river channel in medium and small water.
[0128] 4.1 Interleaved arrangement of flow regulating slurry sheets to form oscillating water flow
[0129] By interleaving the flow regulating system in the river channel and adjusting the height and arrangement angle of the flow regulating slurry sheet, the main flow of the river channel forms a periodic reciprocating oscillating water flow. The reciprocating oscillating water flow will gradually collapse the silt body, and the silt after the collapse will be transported with the flow, and the silt body will gradually decrease. It is much easier to transport the silt by oscillation and collapse than to directly flush the silt from the river bed.
[0130] For example, when the inflow of the river channel is Q = 1.46 L / s, the flow rate is v = 0.13 m / s, and the Froude number Fr = 0.29, the tracer test and scour test are carried out on the original river channel (without flow regulating system) and the reconstructed river channel (with flow regulating system). The flow regulating system in the reconstructed river channel is interleaved. As can be seen from the tracer test, the water flow forms an oscillating water flow under the action of the flow regulating slurry sheet (flow regulating effect Figure 18). After 6 hours of scour, comparing the scouring situation of the reconstructed river channel b with the scouring situation of the original river channel c, it can be seen that the scouring in the reconstructed river channel forms an "S" type river channel, while the river bed in the original river channel does not have a clear river channel, and the sandbars are distributed along the river, and the sediment is easy to accumulate and not easy to be transported downstream. In order to quantitatively compare the scouring and silt reduction of the river channel before and after the reconstruction, the elevation change along the river bed is given along the longitudinal axis of the river channel before and after the reconstruction, as shown in Figure 19 a, three cross sections are taken along the longitudinal axis of the river channel, which are s / L =0.225, 0.36, 0.493 ( s is the distance from the cross section to the outlet of the river channel, L is the length of the river channel), and the river bed elevation of each cross section in the original river channel and the reconstructed river channel is compared (assuming the original river bed elevation is 0), as shown in Figure 19 b, c, d.
[0131] As can be seen from Figure 19 a, the scouring and silt reduction of the reconstructed river channel relative to the original river channel is obvious. Calculated from the initial elevation surface, the scouring area of the reconstructed river channel is increased by 62.89% compared with the original river channel. As can be seen from Figure 19 b, c, d, the scouring depth of the reconstructed river channel relative to the original river channel is more obvious. The maximum scouring depth of the reconstructed river channel at s / L=0.225, 0.36, 0.493 is increased by 135.2%, 218.8%, 228.3% respectively compared with the original river channel. In addition to forming a clear river channel, the silt height in the rest of the reconstructed river channel does not change much. It is not difficult to see that the reconstructed river channel regulates the river bed scouring through the constraint of the flow regulation system. The water flow is concentrated near the flow regulation vane, the flow velocity is increased, the main channel is cut, the silt body is gradually collapsed, and the silt after the collapse is transported with the flow, forming an "S" type scouring and siltation channel on the river bed, and bringing the silt to the downstream. Compared with the sandbars along the river in the original river channel, the reconstructed river channel with the flow regulation system has the effect of stabilizing the river bed and promoting scouring and siltation.
[0132] 4.2 Flow regulation system for guiding and removing silt
[0133] By arranging the flow regulation system in the river channel, adjusting the arrangement position, the height and the arrangement angle of the flow regulation vane, changing the main flow streamline, the silt in the river bank beach is removed, the silt amount is reduced, the width of the river channel section is increased, the flood control capacity is improved, and the flood control safety is ensured.
[0134] As shown in Figure 20 a, a silt body with a size of 30cmx10cmx1cm (lengthxwidthxheight) is arranged on one bank of the river channel. The flow rate of the river channel is Q =1.274L / s, and the flow velocity is v=0.1569 m / s, Froude number Fr=0.416, full-section inflow at the inlet, comparing the changes in sediment deposition after the same scouring time in the original channel (without a flow regulation system) and the modified channel (with a flow regulation system). The modified channel was equipped with a three-stage flow regulation system (e.g., ...). Figure 20 (As shown in d). Typical cross-sections 1-4 were selected along the length of the sediment mass. Measurement points were set at 2cm intervals along the width of each typical cross-section, for a total of 6 measurement points per typical cross-section. The locations of the observation points are shown in Figure d. Figure 21 As shown. An initial reading was taken using a probe before the experiment began, and the probe readings at each measuring point were taken after the experiment. The changes in the thickness of the sediment were then calculated.
[0135] The experimental process is as follows Figure 20 As shown in a, b, and c. The elevations of various measuring points on the silt deposits of the original and modified river channels are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The elevations of the silt deposits at the measuring points of typical cross-sections 2 and 3 are plotted as follows. Figure 22 As shown in Tables 1 and 2. Figure 22 It can be seen that 75% of the observation points showed a decrease in surface elevation of more than 15% compared to the original river channel, and 35% showed a decrease of more than 30%, with the maximum decrease reaching 93%. This indicates that after the same flushing time, the silt in the modified river channel with the flow regulation system is easier to remove.
[0136] Comparative analysis revealed that the modified river channel exhibited significantly better scouring and sedimentation effects than the original channel. After the same water release time, the sedimentation area of the original channel after scouring was s² = 368.55 cm². 2 After the river channel was modified and eroded, the area of the silt deposited was s3 = 306.74 cm³. 2 Compared to the original river channel, the area of the covered area decreased by 16.7% after the river channel was modified.
