[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and the best embodiment. Based on the embodiments in the invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0027] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside" and "outside" etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the invention.

[0028] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal connection of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0029] Example 1: As shown in the figure, the present application also discloses a novel seawater intake structure, including a water intake pump and a water intake head 1 connected to the water intake pump, wherein the water intake head 1 includes an outer frame 3 made of metal and a filter element plate 2 made of non-metallic material. In this example, the water intake head 1 preferably but not limited to adopts a material configuration of a duplex stainless steel frame + a non-metallic filter element that prevents biological attachment, to ensure that corrosion and biological attachment will not occur in a seawater environment for a long time.

[0030] The surface of the outer frame 3 of the water intake head 1 is provided with a plurality of water intake ports, and the filter core plate 2 is installed at the water intake port of the outer frame 3. The filter core plate 2 is detachably connected to the outer frame 3, and the replacement of the spare filter core plate 2 can be achieved by plugging, bolting, and other methods. In the later operation and maintenance, if any filter core plate 2 is found to be blocked, the blocked filter core plate 2 can be directly pulled out and replaced with a spare filter core plate 2, and the replacement adopts a spot check method, which is more convenient for underwater maintenance.

[0031] Preferably, the outer frame 3 of the water intake head 1 in this example is a hexahedral structure, 9 filter plates 2 are arranged on each side, the water intake port and the filter plate 2 are rectangular structures, and a card slot 4 is arranged at the water intake port of the outer frame 3, and the card slot 4 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water intake port, and the two sides of the filter plate 2 are tightly connected to the card slot 4 by sliding. A plurality of water intake windows are arranged on the filter plate 2, and the filtration accuracy of the water intake window is 9mm in diameter, and the flow rate is controlled within 0.1m / s. The filtration efficiency is high, and garbage larger than the aperture can be effectively intercepted, and the interception efficiency of fibrous garbage is also high. The water intake head 1 is a polyhedron in shape and small in size. It is mainly composed of a duplex stainless steel frame and a non-metallic filter plate 2 that prevents biological attachment. The filter plate 2 is composed of multiple small plates. The insertion and withdrawal function can be achieved through the slots 4 on the outer frame 3 of the water intake head 1. Each small plate can be disassembled independently. During maintenance, only a single diver is required to replace a certain filter plate 2 that needs to be repaired without taking the entire water intake head out for maintenance on shore. The maintenance is simple, basically does not affect water intake, and greatly reduces the subsequent operation and maintenance costs.

[0032] In addition, the novel seawater intake structure disclosed in this example also includes a backwashing system connected to the water intake head 1, and the backwashing system includes an air compressor 6 and an air storage tank 5, which are connected to the water intake head 1 through a pipeline. The water intake head 1 is backwashed at fixed time intervals to form a strong backwashing water flow that is evenly distributed and flows from the inside to the outside, which quickly removes the garbage deposited on the surface of the filter element, and under the action of the ocean current, the garbage is taken downstream, achieving the effect of efficient backwashing and preventing the garbage from leaving the seawater, isolating the garbage and pollutants in the water, and no additional garbage disposal costs are required.

[0033] Embodiment 2: As shown in the figure, the present application also discloses an integrated water intake pump room, which is based on the above-mentioned new type of seawater intake structure, including a pump room structure 7 and a composite foundation for supporting the pump room structure 7. The water intake head 1 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the pump room structure 7, or the water intake head 1 is connected to the water intake pump in the pump room structure 7 through a water intake pipe. The water intake pump in the pump room absorbs water to generate a seawater level difference inside and outside the pump room, providing water flow power to the water intake head 1, and filtering the offshore seawater into the water absorption chamber in the pump room.

[0034] In this example, the pump house structure 7 adopts a circular + square layout. The circular layout of the water-facing surface increases the distance between the water intake heads and saves the materials used for the structure. In addition, the circular layout can reduce the force of waves and water flow on the structure, which has more favorable water conservancy conditions. The square provides a water inlet channel space for the water pump to inlet water. At the same time, the on-site assembly method is not adopted. The irregular structure is accurately designed and calculated according to the drawings, prefabricated by the prefabrication plant, and then directly transported to the project location by semi-submersible barges.

[0035] The composite foundation includes a riprap base bed 8, thick film bag concrete 10, thick crushed stone cushion layer 11, thick medium coarse sand cushion layer 12 and PHC piles 9, and the preferred parameters include but are not limited to 10-100kg riprap base bed 8, 300mm thick film bag concrete 10, 300mm thick crushed stone cushion layer 11, and 1000mm thick medium coarse sand cushion layer 12. The riprap base bed 8, thick film bag concrete 10, thick crushed stone cushion layer 11, thick medium coarse sand cushion layer 12, and thick medium coarse sand cushion layer 12 replace the soft seabed foundation and provide lateral friction for the main structure to ensure that no horizontal displacement occurs, and the PHC piles 9 provide vertical loads for the overall structure to ensure that the settlement of the structure meets the design requirements.

[0036] The composite foundation is stacked layer by layer, from small to large, and finally protected by riprap to increase its stability on the seabed and ensure that it is not washed away by the ocean. The structure is directly located on the riprap after stability calculation. After the lateral force is accurately calculated, the friction generated by its own weight and the riprap ensures that no displacement occurs.

[0037] This application discloses a structure integrating water intake, flow stabilization and pump station functions, which changes the traditional water intake mode. The traditional water intake mode usually requires the addition of cumbersome grid filtering measures, which greatly increases the complexity of the process and the floor space occupied. The use of this water intake mode can avoid cumbersome grid design, shorten the process flow, reduce the floor space occupied, highly concentrate functions, and reduce the overall investment cost.

[0038] The technical effects of this application are preferably but not limited to:

[0039] (1) Small footprint, simple structure, and long service life: The main pump station of this patented water intake form occupies a smaller area than the conventional water intake head. Compared with the conventional coarse screen + decontamination machine + filter combination water intake head, the new water intake head adopts a finished water intake head, and the frame is made of duplex stainless steel. The filter element is made of non-metallic material, which will not cause corrosion and biological attachment. The system is designed to have a life of 30 years.

[0040] (2) Easy maintenance and low cost: Conventional water intake heads are complicated to maintain, and the garbage trapped by the grilles and grids needs to be regularly removed. Once the grilles and grids are damaged in extreme cases, they need to be removed and replaced as a whole, affecting water intake. There are moving parts underwater, and the maintenance cost is high. However, the new water intake head of this patent has no moving parts in the water, and maintenance is simple. In extreme cases, if it is damaged, only a single diver is required to complete the underwater replacement operation, and there is no need to remove the water intake head as a whole, and there is no need to remove the water intake head as a whole and take it ashore for maintenance. It basically does not affect water intake. There are no moving parts underwater, and the maintenance cost is low.

[0041] (3) High filtration efficiency: The conventional water intake form can effectively intercept garbage larger than the aperture, but the interception efficiency of fibrous garbage is low, and it is easy to hang on the grille and get tangled on the back, which eventually leads to fibrous garbage being blocked by the garbage cleaning machine. The new water intake form of this patent can effectively intercept garbage larger than the aperture, and the interception efficiency of fibrous garbage is also high.

[0042] (4) Good backwash effect: The structural characteristics of the conventional water intake grid make it impossible to form a uniform backwash water flow on the entire filter surface. During backwashing, the compressed air is unevenly distributed, resulting in the cleaning effect of the grid facing the nozzle being much better than the grids in other areas. This patented new water intake method is based on the special structural design of a certain brand of water intake head, which can form a strong backwash water flow that is evenly distributed and flows from the inside to the outside, quickly removing the garbage deposited on the surface of the filter element, and under the action of the ocean current, carrying the garbage downstream, achieving efficient backwashing and keeping the garbage from leaving the seawater.

[0043] (5) Low waste disposal cost and environmental protection: The conventional water intake form screen cleaning machine and the waste intercepted by the grid must be separated from the water and discharged into the sea after landing, which poses an environmental risk. If it is pulled out for treatment, the corresponding waste disposal costs will be incurred. This patented new water intake form water intake system isolates the waste and pollutants in the water, without the need for additional waste disposal costs.

[0044] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
