Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of engineering safety monitoring technology, specifically relating to a device and method for transmitting the vertical elevation of a dam. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of water conservancy and hydropower construction in my country, a large number of river-blocking dam projects have emerged, such as the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, the Xiaolangdi Dam on the Yellow River, the Ertan Dam on the Yalong River, and the Baihetan Dam on the Jinsha River. Reservoir dams are susceptible to geological disasters, geological structures, reservoir water level changes, reservoir overflows, and structural damage, all of which can lead to dam failure and deformation, causing safety issues. Therefore, deformation monitoring of reservoir dams is crucial. Dam deformation monitoring involves not only monitoring the deformation at the dam crest but also at the dam base. Settlement observation points are typically set up within the dam base gallery to monitor internal settlement within the dam body.
[0003] Settlement monitoring of the gallery at the dam base typically employs precise leveling. The measurement begins at a benchmark near the dam crest, proceeds through the gallery entrance, and involves establishing leveling rods along the stairs, observing each station individually before moving to the gallery at the dam base. However, the stairwell is cramped and poorly lit, making leveling station setup and observation difficult and inefficient. Furthermore, the large number of stations leads to significant accumulated errors, affecting the accuracy of gallery settlement monitoring. If a steel tape is suspended from the dam crest as a substitute for leveling, the tape swings under gravity, making readings difficult, and the tape is prone to deformation under the weight, resulting in large measurement errors.
[0004] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN111879281A discloses a long-range precision distance measuring device for corners, comprising a base, a vertical through-hole shaft on the base, a spherical prism mounting base on the through-hole shaft, a bracket on the base, a U-shaped support arm on the bracket, and a plane mirror on the U-shaped support arm. The method for measuring the side length of a valley in this document is: measuring the straight-line distance c, and using the formula c... 2 =a 2 +b 2 The distance *b* from the total station to the center of the plane mirror is calculated, and the valley width side length *S* = *Hb*. The method used in this literature to measure the elevation of the horizontal corridor is as follows: measure the distance *b* from the total station to the center of the plane mirror, and measure the total distance *e* from the total station to the spherical prism of the horizontal corridor; the elevation of the horizontal corridor *h* = *g* - *e* + *b* + *f*. This literature utilizes a single total station to accurately measure the side lengths of multiple valley widths on both sides of the valley near the dam, achieving automated and intelligent measurement. However, this literature does not address the difficulty of observing levels along the stairs from the dam crest to the dam base. Summary of the Invention

[0108] Reviewing the latest corridor settlement observation data, the second-order leveling survey started from the corridor entrance on the dam crest and moved 64 stations along the corridor stairs (64 stations means the leveling instrument had to be set up and observed a total of 64 times inside the stairs) before measuring the elevation H of point B. B =397.00564(m).
[0109] Comparing the elevation results measured by the two methods at point B, the discrepancy is ±1.25m, which is within the allowable range of ±3.0mm according to the monitoring standard.
[0110] The gallery at the bottom of the dam is affected by various factors such as water level changes, spillway changes, geological activities, and the dam's own weight, which inevitably cause deformation and settlement at the bottom of the gallery. Therefore, settlement monitoring of the gallery at the bottom of the dam is a long-term monitoring task. Long-term use of the method of this invention can save a lot of resources.
[0111] Observers monitor the gallery settlement value on-site according to the frequency specified in the "Technical Specification for Safety Monitoring of Concrete Dams" (SDJ336-89) or the "Technical Specification for Safety Monitoring of Earth and Rockfill Dams". When the monitoring frequency requirement is high, the method of this invention can better ensure the timeliness of the gallery settlement monitoring results.
[0112] The method of this invention is efficient and accurate, which helps to quickly grasp the settlement and safety status of the dam bottom gallery.
[0113] This invention can overcome the difficulties of leveling operations that involve transferring elevation data from the top of the dam to the bottom gallery via stairs, improve the efficiency and accuracy of settlement observation in the bottom gallery, realize automated data acquisition for distance measurement, and promptly grasp the settlement situation within the dam gallery.
