Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, specifically to a safety protection device for reservoir construction slopes. Background Technology

[0002] Water conservancy projects are a general term for various engineering constructions undertaken to control, utilize, and protect surface and underground water resources and the environment. They are projects built to eliminate water hazards and develop and utilize water resources. According to their service objects, they are divided into flood control projects, farmland water conservancy projects, hydropower projects, waterway and port projects, water supply and drainage projects, environmental water conservancy projects, and coastal reclamation projects. Reservoirs are water conservancy engineering structures for flood control, water storage, and water flow regulation. They can be used for irrigation, power generation, flood control, and fish farming. A reservoir is an artificial lake formed by building a dam at the narrow mouth of a mountain gully or river.

[0003] During reservoir construction, slope protection is typically carried out on the slope to prevent erosion damage. However, since construction workers are at the bottom of the reservoir, if no protective devices are installed above the slope, falling rocks or debris from the top of the slope can easily injure them. Existing safety protection measures using barriers are ineffective; falling rocks hitting the barriers can generate loud noise and easily crack the barriers. Summary of the Invention

[0026] In this invention, the terms "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and 2 This embodiment of a reservoir construction slope safety protection device includes a box body 1, the box body 1 having a hollow interior forming a water storage cavity 2, the water storage cavity 2 being filled with water during use, the upper end of the water storage cavity 2 having a first opening 3, the side of the water storage cavity 2 having a second opening 4, a gate 5 being provided at the second opening 4, the gate 5 being used to control the opening and closing of the second opening 4, the bottom of the water storage cavity 2 having a first inclined plate 6 facing the second opening 4, the box body 1 having a second inclined plate 7 located on one side of the second opening 4, the second inclined plate 7 being located on the outside of the box body 1, the second inclined plate 7 having several through holes evenly distributed on it, a water receiving tank 8 being provided below the second inclined plate 7, the upper end of the water receiving tank 8 abutting against the second inclined plate 7, the box body 1 and the water receiving tank 8 being connected by a pipe, the pipe being equipped with a water pump.

[0028] The slope safety protection device for the reservoir construction uses water in the storage chamber 2 to buffer falling rocks from the slope, preventing them from hitting the tank 1 and causing loud noise, and also preventing damage to the tank 1. The gate 5 is manually controlled or opened periodically. When the gate 5 is opened, the water in the storage chamber 2 and the falling rocks and other debris are discharged together. After passing through the second inclined plate 7, the water will enter the water receiving tank 8 below through the through hole on the second inclined plate 7, and finally flow back to the storage chamber 2 through pipes and water pumps for reuse, thus achieving the purpose of saving water resources.

[0029] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the water storage chamber 2 is filled with water, and the water is mixed with agar. The content of the agar is 10%-30%. By adding agar, the water can be made viscous, thereby better buffering the impact of falling rocks, because the resistance of the falling rocks sinking into the water will increase at this time.

[0030] As an optional solution of the present invention, the water receiving tank 8 is provided with a heating module 10. Before the water in the water receiving tank 8 needs to be pumped back into the water storage chamber 2, the water in the water receiving tank 8 needs to be heated to about 95°C by the heating module 10. At this time, the agar in the water can dissolve in the water to form a solution, thereby preventing the agar from causing blockage of the water pump when it passes through the water pump. In the water storage chamber 2, when the water temperature drops, the agar in the water reverts to a gel, which plays an auxiliary buffering role.

[0031] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the water storage chamber 2 is provided with a cooling module 11, which is used to cool the water in the water storage chamber 2, because high temperatures in summer can easily affect the state of agar in the water, thereby affecting the buffering effect against falling rocks.

[0032] As an optional solution of the present invention, in winter, salt or other antifreeze materials can be added to the water to achieve the effect of preventing freezing.

[0033] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the housing 1 is made of an opaque material.

[0034] As an optional solution of the present invention, a flexible baffle is provided at the first opening 3. The flexible baffle has a cross-shaped opening. The shape of the flexible baffle is similar to the structure of a cross-cut silicone pad. The flexible baffle mainly serves two purposes: firstly, to provide auxiliary buffering for falling rocks; and secondly, to prevent the water in the box 1 from being directly exposed to sunlight indoors, which would cause it to heat up too quickly. In areas where the summer temperature is not very high, the cooling module 11 can be omitted, and only the flexible baffle can be provided.

[0035] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, in order to prevent water discharged from the second opening 4 from flowing out from both sides of the second inclined plate 7 and causing waste of water resources, baffles 12 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the second inclined plate 7 along its inclined direction.

[0036] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a cylinder for controlling the up-and-down movement of the gate 5 relative to the housing 1. The cylinder is vertically mounted on the housing 1, and the output shaft of the cylinder is vertically upward and fixedly connected to the upper end of the gate 5. The housing 1 or the first inclined plate 6 is provided with a sealing groove adapted to the lower end of the gate 5. The lower end of the gate 5 is embedded in the sealing groove to achieve a sealing effect. At this time, the sealing effect of the gate 5 will not be affected even if the cylinder is de-energized. In this embodiment, the sealing groove is opened on the first inclined plate 6.

[0037] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, sealing grooves adapted to the side of the gate 5 can also be opened on both sides of the housing 1.

[0038] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, a slope abutment plate 13 is rotatably connected to the box body 1. The slope abutment plate 13 is located at the upper end of the box body 1 and on the side away from the second opening 4. The upper end of the slope abutment plate 13 abuts against the slope to guide falling rocks. The slope abutment plate 13 is inclined in use, and a slope connecting plate 14 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the slope abutment plate 13. The slope connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the slope by rivets or other structures in use, thereby fixing the slope connecting plate 13 and the box body 1.

[0039] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
