Scientists use the natural condition of the water level difference, effectively utilize fluid engineering and mechanical physics, and carefully combine them to achieve the highest power generation, providing people with cheap and pollution-free electricity.

[0003] Water turbines are important hydropower equipment and an indispensable part of the hydropower industry. Under the action of gravity, the water flows very fast, and the mud and sand mixed in the water will impact the surface of the water turbine at a very high speed, resulting in a reduced service life of the water turbine, increased vibration, and lower energy utilization. Summary of the invention

[0005] The above purpose is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for assisting water diversion of a hydraulic turbine, the method comprising the following steps: (1) The setting of the sand settling tank allows the water to filter the debris and mud in the water through the sand filter plate to prevent the mud and sand from entering the outer tube. After the water flows into the outer tube through the diversion function of the shielding cover, the water that flows into the outer tube settles at the bottom of the outer tube; (2) As water continues to flow in, the water level at the bottom of the outer tube gradually rises, and the inflowing water continues to settle until the water level is higher than the height of the inner tube. The water at the top enters the inner tube and flows from the inner tube into the diversion groove; (3) The sand settling tank can prevent the mud and sand in the water from directly entering the diversion trough and impacting the turbine, causing surface damage to the turbine, thus extending the service life of the turbine. The working efficiency of the turbine will also be improved after the wear is reduced; (4) A shielding cover is set between the inner tube and the outer tube, which is equivalent to adding a communicating vessel. The principle of the communicating vessel is used to store water and settle mud and sand in the water.

[0006] The invention discloses a water turbine water diversion auxiliary method, wherein the sand settling tank comprises an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder which are arranged concentrically, the upper part of the outer cylinder is fixedly connected to a sand filter plate, the interior of the inner cylinder is fixedly connected to a shielding cover via a support plate, the shielding cover is a conical cylinder, and sand outlet pipes are respectively arranged on both sides between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.

[0007] In the water turbine water diversion auxiliary method, the distance between the lower part of the shielding cover and the bottom end of the inner part of the outer cylinder is half the height of the inner cylinder. Beneficial Effects

[0008] 1. The present invention is provided with a sand filter plate, which can prevent debris and mud and sand in the water from entering the inner part of the outer cylinder and block them outside the outer cylinder. Since the sand filter plate is an arc-shaped structure, the mud and sand will roll down from the sand filter plate without accumulation and will not affect the circulation of water.

[0009] 2. The present invention provides a structure in which an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder cooperate with each other, and a shielding cover is provided at the same time, so that the water entering the outer cylinder can fall to the bottom of the outer cylinder under the action of the shielding cover, and then settle at the bottom. After the settlement is completed, the water in the upper part continues to flow in, so that the water after the settlement is completed enters the inner cylinder. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
