[0055] determining positions of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the lower chamber 23;
[0056] the position of the upper chamber 21 is determined by the reservoir water level, the water level in the surge chamber is flush with the reservoir water level after the unit is stopped, the reservoir water level is ensured to be slightly higher than a height of a bottom plate of the upper chamber 21, the length of the connecting pipe 3 is , an elevation of a bottom of the connecting pipe 3 is , the water level of the reservoir is , a height from a bottom plate of an inlet end of the upper chamber 21 to an upper surface of the diversion tunnel 4 is , a height from a horizontal surface in the upper chamber 21 to the bottom plate of the upper chamber 21 is a submergence depth of the upper chamber 21 , the submergence depth of the upper chamber 21 is satisfies the following relationship: , , wherein H is the height of the rectangular structure of the inlet end of the upper chamber 21, and R is the radius of the semicircular structure of the inlet end of the upper chamber 21.

The design of the upper chamber 21 can ensure that the upper chamber 21 plays the best regulating role in the surge chamber structure and maintains the stability and reliability of the structure.
[0057] The position of the lower chamber 23 is determined by the water level of the reservoir and the water head loss in the rated steady state operation of all the units. The water level in the lower chamber 23 is required to be slightly higher than the height of the bottom plate of the lower chamber 23. Assuming that the water head loss in the rated steady state operation of all the units is , the height from the bottom plate of the inlet end of the lower chamber 23 to the upper surface of the diversion tunnel 4 is , and the height from the horizontal surface in the lower chamber 23 to the bottom plate of the lower chamber 23 is the submergence depth of the lower chamber 23 , then the submergence depth of the lower chamber 23 is The following relationship is met: , wherein H is the height of the rectangular structure of the inlet end of the lower chamber 23, and R is the radius of the semicircular structure of the inlet end of the lower chamber 23.

Parameter optimization design can further improve the stability and efficiency of the structure, so that it can maintain the best working state under various working conditions.
[0062] In Example Two, taking the upstream water diversion system of a certain power station as an example, the water diversion flow is 98.8 m³ / s, and the unit installation elevation is taken as the reference elevation. The water level of the reservoir is 750 m, the elevation of the bottom of the communication pipe 3 on the surge chamber structure is 600 m, the length of the water diversion tunnel 4 is 28 km, the diameter of the water diversion tunnel 4 is 6 m, the length of the pressure pipeline 5 is 1 km, the diameter of the pressure pipeline 5 is 5 m, the height of the shaft 1 is 161 m, the height of the communication pipe 3 is 3 m, the total height of the surge chamber structure is 164 m, and the length of the communication pipe 3 is 3 m.
[0063] (1) Determine the cross-sectional area F of the shaft 1.
[0064] The cross-sectional area of the shaft 1 is calculated according to the Tomah critical cross-sectional area formula, and the Tomah critical cross-sectional area is 17.85 m². Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the shaft 1 is 71.4 m², which satisfies the following relationship: , where K is 4. Calculation shows that the cross-sectional area of the shaft 1 is 71.4 m², and the diameter of the shaft 1 is 9.535 m through conversion. In order to meet the design requirements, the diameter of the shaft 1 is rounded to 10 m, and the stable cross-sectional area of the shaft 1 is 78.54 m² through conversion.
[0065] (2) Calculate the size of the communication pipe 3.
[0066] The cross-sectional area of the water diversion tunnel 4 is 28.27 m², and the cross-sectional area of the communication pipe 3 is 12.72 m², which satisfies the following relationship: , where the value is 45%. Calculation shows that the cross-sectional area of the communication pipe 3 is 12.72 m², and the length of the communication pipe 3 is 3 m.
[0067] (3) Design the size of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22, and the lower chamber 23.
[0068] The length a = 8m, the height b = 10m of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the lower chamber 23 entrance end rectangular structure, the radius of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the lower chamber 23 half circle structure 4m, the length L = 240 of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the lower chamber 23, the slope of the top plate and the bottom plate of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the lower chamber 23 1.5% and 1%, and 0 <2% and <2%, the height of the tail end rectangular structure of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the lower chamber 23 is respectively satisfy the following relationship: = 10-240x0.015-240x0.01 = 4m.
[0069] (4) determine the position of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the lower chamber 23;
[0070] The position of the upper chamber 21 is determined by the reservoir water level = 750m, the water level in the surge chamber is flush with the reservoir water level after the unit is shut down, and the reservoir water level is slightly higher than the height of the bottom plate of the upper chamber 21, the height of the bottom plate of the upper chamber 21 entrance end to the upper surface of the diversion tunnel 4 = 149m, the height of the horizontal surface in the upper chamber 21 to the bottom plate of the upper chamber 21 is the submergence depth of the upper chamber 21 , and the submergence depth of the upper chamber 21 is less than 4.67m, so the submergence depth of the upper chamber 21 = 750-600-149 = 1m, the height of the upper chamber 21 should ensure that the safety height above the highest surge water level is not less than 1m, and the design of the upper chamber 21 can ensure that the upper chamber 21 plays the best regulating role in the surge chamber structure, while maintaining the stability and reliability of the structure.
[0071] The position of the lower chamber 23 is determined by the reservoir water level = 750m and the head loss = 37.8m under the rated operating condition of all units, which ensures that the water level in the lower chamber 23 is slightly higher than the height of the bottom plate of the lower chamber 23, the height of the bottom plate of the lower chamber 23 entrance end to the upper surface of the diversion tunnel 4 = 108m, the height of the horizontal surface in the lower chamber 23 to the bottom plate of the lower chamber 23 is the submergence depth of the lower chamber 23 , and the submergence depth of the lower chamber 23 Lower than 4.67 m, so the sub-chamber 23 is submerged = 750 - 600 - 37.8 - 108 = 4.2 m, the bottom of the sub-chamber 23 is lower than the lowest surge water level. The position of the sub-chamber 23 is reasonably set to ensure that the sub-chamber 23 can play the best regulating role in the pressure regulating process, while maintaining the stability and reliability of the structure.
[0072] The middle chamber 22 is located between the upper chamber 21 and the sub-chamber 23, the height between the top plate of the middle chamber 22 and the bottom plate of the upper chamber 21 is = 5 m, the height between the bottom plate of the middle chamber 22 and the top plate of the sub-chamber 23 is = 8 m, .
[0073] The height of the shaft 1 is , the height of the top of the shaft 1 should be higher than the top plate of the inlet of the upper chamber 21 by not less than 1 m, which is 1 m in this embodiment, so = 161 m; the height of the communication pipe 3 is = 3 m, the total height of the pressure regulating chamber structure is = 164 m.
[0074] (5) Design a new pressure regulating chamber structure by the cross-sectional area F of the shaft 1, the cross-sectional area S of the communication pipe 3, the size of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the sub-chamber 23, the position of the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the sub-chamber 23, and verify the hydraulic characteristics of the new pressure regulating chamber structure;
[0075] After the new pressure regulating chamber structure is designed, the one-dimensional numerical calculation method is used to verify the hydraulic characteristics of the new body, the hydraulic characteristics of the pressure regulating chamber body under load rejection and load increase are calculated, and the calculation results are shown in Figure 6 .
[0076] As can be seen from Figure 6 , under the unit load rejection condition, due to the horizontal cross-sectional area of each chamber being much larger than the cross-sectional area of the shaft 1, the water level is affected by the upper chamber 21, the middle chamber 22 and the sub-chamber 23, and the water level presents a stepped type rising, and the water level waveform in each chamber area is relatively horizontal, the surge amplitude of the three-chamber pressure regulating chamber is 158.2 m, and with the passage of time, the water level fluctuation in the pressure regulating chamber gradually tends to be flat, under the load increase condition, the water level of the three-chamber pressure regulating chamber presents a stepped type descending, the water level of the pressure regulating chamber reaches stable at a relatively fast speed, and there is no obvious oscillation phenomenon in the process, so the three-chamber water chamber type pressure regulating chamber structure designed in this example has good effect in suppressing water level fluctuation, and can be considered to have good hydraulic characteristics and reasonable design.
[0077] As can be seen fromFigure 7 It can be known that the structure and layout of the double-chamber pressure regulating chamber in the figure are the same as those of the three-chamber pressure regulating chamber, and the cavity structures of both are gradient structures, and the only difference is that the double-chamber pressure regulating chamber has no middle chamber. The surge amplitude fluctuation line of the double-chamber pressure regulating chamber is obtained through calculation. It is obtained through the fluctuation line that the surge amplitude of the double-chamber pressure regulating chamber fluctuates greatly up and down, while the surge amplitude of the three-chamber pressure regulating chamber fluctuates slowly up and down. The surge amplitude fluctuation line of the double-chamber pressure regulating chamber is compared and analyzed with the surge amplitude fluctuation line of the three-chamber pressure regulating chamber. The three-chamber pressure regulating chamber is better than the double-chamber pressure regulating chamber in suppressing the maximum surge amplitude.
