Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a stacked beam gate system for a hydropower station, belonging to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology. Background Technology

[0002] For hydropower stations with high-head intake structures, the high intake head leads to lower downstream water temperatures, which is detrimental to the reproduction of fish and other organisms in the river and does not meet the requirements for water environmental protection. Therefore, specialized water-blocking gates are installed at the intake of the hydropower station in layers. These gates consist of multiple independent small gates connected and stacked together to control the downstream water temperature in the reservoir area at the intake, ensuring that the downstream water temperature is suitable for the reproduction of fish and other organisms.

[0003] Because the stacked beam gate is composed of multiple independent stacked beam gates, this presents a problem for maintenance: if a problem occurs in one of the stacked beam gates and needs maintenance, the top stacked beam gate needs to be lifted out of the dam surface using a gantry crane on the dam top in conjunction with a beam grabber, and then the stacked beam gate is stored in the downstream storage slot using a lateral trolley of the gantry crane on the dam top; the above actions are repeated to store the next layer of stacked beam gates in the downstream storage slots segment by segment until the stacked beam gate that needs maintenance is retrieved.

[0004] Therefore, traditional stacked beam gate systems have the following main drawbacks: The downstream requires more gate storage slots, increasing the length of the intake dam face along the water flow direction. Because the stacked beam gates need to exit the dam crest and move laterally to the downstream gate storage slots, the dam crest gantry crane has a high lifting head and needs to be a bidirectional crane with corresponding lateral trolleys, increasing investment in the dam crest gantry crane. Furthermore, each stacked beam gate section needs to be lifted, transferred, and then stored in the gate storage slot, resulting in long operation times, low efficiency, and numerous safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a stacked beam gate system for hydropower stations, which can solve the problems of long maintenance and operation time, low efficiency and many dangerous factors in traditional stacked beam gate systems.

[0006] This invention provides a stacked beam gate system for a hydropower station, the system comprising:

[0007] The gate slot is located at the water intake of the dam body, and a stacked beam gate is installed on the upstream side inside it. The stacked beam gate is composed of multiple stacked beam gates.

[0016] Optionally, the support top is connected to the corresponding stacked beam small door, and the support top is also used to pull the stacked beam small door to be repaired along the corresponding transverse trajectory line to the downstream side of the door slot when the corresponding stacked beam small door needs to be repaired.

[0017] Optionally, each stacked beam door corresponds to four support tops, and the four support tops are respectively located at the four corners of the stacked beam door.

[0018] Optionally, the locking module includes:

[0019] Multiple locking elements are respectively disposed on opposite side walls of each stacked beam door; along a direction perpendicular to the side wall of the stacked beam door, the locking elements can extend from or retract into the side wall of the stacked beam door;

[0021] Optionally, the width of the door groove is greater than twice the thickness of the stacked beam door.

[0022] Optionally, the system further includes:

[0023] The control module is connected to the locking module, the support module, and the lifting module, and is used to control the operation of the locking module, the support module, and the lifting module.

[0025] The beneficial effects that this invention can produce include:

[0035] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0036] This invention provides a stacked beam gate system for a hydropower station, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the system includes:

[0037] Gate slot 1 is located at the water intake of the dam body, and a stacked beam gate 2 is installed on its upstream side. The stacked beam gate 2 is composed of multiple stacked small beam gates 3. The width of gate slot 1 is more than twice the thickness of stacked beam gate 2.

[0038] In practical applications, the stacked beam door 2 is composed of multiple independent stacked beam small doors 3 stacked together along the height direction of the door groove 1; located within a door groove 1 of a certain width, the width of the door groove 1 is greater than twice the thickness of the stacked beam door 2, which allows the stacked beam door 2 to be moved in the upstream and downstream directions.

[0039] The locking module is located on the bottom surface of the upstream side of the door slot 1 and is retractable in a direction perpendicular to the side wall of the stacked beam small door 3. It is used to lock the position of each stacked beam small door 3.

[0040] Specifically, the locking module includes:

[0041] Multiple locking elements 8 are respectively installed on the opposite side walls of each stacked beam door 3; along the direction perpendicular to the side wall of the stacked beam door 3, the locking elements 8 can extend from or retract into the side wall of the stacked beam door 3; wherein, the locking elements 8 are generally steel structures.

[0042] Each of the two opposite side walls of the stacked beam door 3 is provided with a slot on the bottom surface of the corresponding door groove 1; the locking member 8 is used to engage with the corresponding slot when extended to lock the stacked beam door 3.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the X direction is the direction of incoming water, and the bottom surface of the upstream side of the gate slot 1 is the surface area inside the gate slot 1 that is parallel to the X direction and close to the upstream side.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, locking members 8 are evenly arranged along the height direction of the stacked beam door 3, located on both sides of the stacked beam door 3. One end of the locking member 8 is fixed in the side wall of the stacked beam door 3, and the other end is inserted into the concrete on the side of the door groove 1. The shape of the extendable end of the locking member 8 can be arc-shaped or other shapes, and the invention does not limit this. During normal water blocking, the locking member 8 extends into the concrete on the side of the door groove 1, providing a certain locking force; during maintenance, the locking member 8 can be retracted into the stacked beam door 3.

[0045] The support module is located on the downstream surface of the door slot 1 and is retractable in a direction perpendicular to the downstream surface of the door slot 1. It is used to support all the stacked beam small doors 3 on the upstream side inside the door slot 1.

[0046] The supporting modules include:

[0047] Multiple support tops 7 are respectively disposed on the downstream surface of the door groove 1 at both ends of each stacked beam door 3; along the direction perpendicular to the downstream surface of the door groove 1, the support tops 7 can extend from or retract from the inner side of the downstream surface of the door groove 1 to the inner side of the downstream surface of the door groove 1; the support tops 7 are used to support the corresponding stacked beam door 3 on the upstream side of the door groove 1.

[0048] The downstream surface of the aforementioned door groove 1 is the surface inside the door groove 1 that is perpendicular to the X direction and located on the downstream side.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, the support top 7 is located on the downstream surface of the door slots 1 on both sides of each stacked beam door 3. It is a retractable steel structure. One end of the support top 7 is fixed in a reserved concrete pit on the downstream surface of the door slot 1, and the other end abuts against the downstream surface of the stacked beam door 3. The support top 7 is arranged at the top and bottom along the height direction of each stacked beam door 3. Each stacked beam door 3 corresponds to four support tops 7, which are respectively set at the four corners of the stacked beam door 3. During normal water blocking, the support top 7 extends out of the concrete pit to provide a certain supporting force to the stacked beam door 2; during maintenance, the support top 7 retracts into the concrete pit.

[0050] The lifting module is set at the top of the door slot 1 and connected to the stacked beam door 3 to be inspected. It is used to lift the stacked beam door 3 to be inspected out of the door slot 1 after the door is unlocked and supported and moved to the downstream side of the door slot 1.

[0051] Furthermore, the system also includes:

[0052] Track grooves 4 are respectively set on the two opposite bottom surfaces of door groove 1 along the height direction of door groove 1; multiple horizontal track lines 5 are set in track grooves 4, and the horizontal track lines 5 correspond one-to-one with the stacked beam small doors 3, which can move to the downstream side of door groove 1 along the corresponding horizontal track lines 5. Vertical track lines 6 are also set in track grooves 4, and the vertical track lines 6 are arranged alternately with the horizontal track lines 5.

[0053] The track groove 4 is arranged on both sides of the left and right door groove 1 along the height direction of the door groove 1. The track groove 4 is provided with predetermined horizontal and vertical crisscrossing trajectory lines. The trajectory lines can provide guidance and also increase the friction force when the stacked beam small door 3 falls under its own weight.

[0054] Preferably, the support top 7 is connected to the corresponding stacked beam small door 3. The support top 7 is also used to pull the stacked beam small door 3 to be repaired along the corresponding transverse trajectory line 5 to the downstream side of the door slot 1 by retracting when the corresponding stacked beam small door 3 needs to be repaired.

[0055] Furthermore, the system also includes:

[0056] The control module is connected to the locking module, support module, and lifting module, and is used to control the operation of the locking module, support module, and lifting module.

[0057] This invention can connect the support top 7 of the support module, the locking element 8 of the locking module, and the lifting module to form an automatic control system through control lines, and all of them can form a remote control system with an external computer.

[0058] In practice, the maintenance method for the above-mentioned stacked beam door 2 system is as follows:

[0059] 1) Lower the upstream emergency gate 9 to block water and prepare for the repair of the stacked beam gate 3.

[0060] 2) Through remote computer control, the locking element 8 and support top 7 of the stacked beam gate 3 to be inspected are activated. The retractable end of the locking element 8 retracts into the stacked beam gate 3, and the retractable end of the support top 7 retracts into the concrete gate groove 1. At the same time, the stacked beam gate 3 to be inspected automatically moves downstream along the preset transverse trajectory line 5 of the track groove 4 under the action of water.

[0061] 3) Through remote computer control, the locking mechanism 8 and support top 7 of the upper layer of the stacked beam gate 3 to be inspected are activated layer by layer from bottom to top. The retractable end of the locking mechanism 8 retracts into the stacked beam gate 3, and the retractable end of the support top 7 retracts into the concrete door groove 1. At the same time, under its own weight, the stacked beam gates 3 automatically slide downwards along the preset vertical trajectory line 6 of the track groove 4, and are re-stacked in sequence, as detailed below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0062] 4) Lift out the small door 3 of the stacked beam that needs to be inspected for inspection.

[0063] 5) After the maintenance is completed, the repaired stacked beam small door 3 is hoisted back into the top layer position along the preset vertical trajectory line 6 of the track groove 4, as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0064] 6) By remote computer control, the locking part 8 and the support top 7 of the moved stacked beam small door 3 are closed, the retractable end of the locking part 8 is re-entered into the concrete, and the retractable end of the support top 7 is re-extended out of the concrete door groove 1 to hold the stacked beam small door 3 in place.

[0065] 7) End, open the emergency gate 9 to release water.

[0066] This invention utilizes a locking module and a support module to confine all stacked beam doors 3 to the upstream side of the door slot 1. After the locking and support are released, the stacked beam door 3 to be inspected moves to the downstream side of the door slot 1 under hydraulic impact and is then lifted out of the door slot 1 using a lifting module. This invention has a simple structure and is easy to operate, ensuring free maintenance of the stacked beam doors 2, avoiding the need to use lifting equipment to lift the stacked beam doors 3 one by one, saving labor, reducing operational difficulty, and eliminating the need for a dedicated door storage facility for the stacked beam doors 3.
