Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydropower dam slope protection, in particular to a hydropower dam slope protection structure used for preventing and controlling soil erosion. Background Art
[0002] Slope protection for hydropower dams is critical to ensuring the safety and stability of dams. It is mainly used to protect the slope of the dam and resist erosion and damage from natural factors such as water flow, waves, and rain. There are many types of common slope protection for hydropower dams. Concrete slope protection is widely used and has high strength and excellent anti-scouring ability. Through on-site pouring, it can be closely connected with the slope of the dam, effectively blocking the impact of water flow and ensuring the stability of the dam. Mortar-made stone slope protection is also common. It is composed of stones and cement mortar. It has low cost and good weathering resistance, and can provide reliable protection for the slope of the dam. Geotextile slope protection uses materials such as geotextiles to play the role of anti-filtration and reinforcement, prevent slope soil particles from being carried away by water flow, and enhance soil stability. In the selection of slope protection materials, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the actual situation of the project, cost and environmental factors. High-quality concrete, solid and durable stone and high-performance geotextiles are all ideal materials for building stable slope protection. Hydropower dam slope protection plays an indispensable role in ensuring the safe operation of hydropower projects, extending the service life of dams, and maintaining the stability of the surrounding ecological environment. It is an important part of water conservancy and hydropower facilities.
[0003] Traditional hydropower dam slope protection is often made of all-concrete structure. However, due to heavy rainfall in the rainy season, the soil at the bottom of the dam slope protection may be washed away by rainwater. As the amount of soil loss continues to increase, the bottom of the dam slope protection loses sufficient support, which will cause the problem of unstable foundation at the bottom of the dam slope protection. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a hydropower dam slope protection structure for use in soil and water loss prevention and control, which solves the problem that traditional hydropower dam slope protection is often constructed with a full concrete structure, but due to heavy rainfall in the rainy season, the soil at the bottom of the dam slope protection may be washed away by rainwater. As the amount of soil loss continues to increase, the bottom of the dam slope protection loses sufficient support, thereby causing the problem of unstable foundation at the bottom of the dam slope protection.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a hydropower dam slope protection structure used for soil and water loss prevention and control, including side beams, a bottom plate is arranged between two side beams, the top surface of the bottom plate is lower than the top surface of the side beams, the upper side of the bottom plate is covered with soil, the upper surface of the soil is flush with the upper surface of the side beams, green plants are planted on the surface of the soil, root holes are evenly opened inside the bottom plate, the roots of the green plants are inserted through the root holes, water collection structures are arranged above and below the side beams, and a water retaining plate is arranged below the side beams.
[0006] Preferably, the water collection structure includes a first water collection trough and a second water collection trough, one end of the first water collection trough is fixedly connected to the lower side of the side beam, the bottom surface of the side beam is fixedly connected to the top surface of the water baffle, and the side of the second water collection trough is fixedly connected to the upper side of the side beam.
[0007] Preferably, filter stones are disposed inside the first water collection tank and the second water collection tank, a support plate is disposed at the bottom of the filter stone, a support bar is disposed at the bottom of the support plate, and the support bar is fixedly connected to the side walls of the first water collection tank and the second water collection tank.
[0008] Preferably, water channels are opened inside the two side beams, and two ends of the water channels are connected to the opposite side walls of the first water collecting trough and the second water collecting trough.
[0009] Preferably, a cavity is provided inside the water baffle, and the top of the cavity is connected to the bottom of the first water collecting tank.
[0010] Preferably, a water pump is provided inside the cavity, a suction pipe is provided at the input end of the water pump, the output end of the water pump is fixedly provided at one end of an irrigation water pipe, the other end of the irrigation water pipe is located at the top of the base plate, and a water outlet hole is provided on an outer wall of a section of the upper part of the base plate.
[0011] Preferably, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the water baffle plate on the side close to the water source, and a closed door is provided on the side of the water inlet close to the cavity, both ends of the closed door are located on the inner wall of the slide, the outer walls of the two slides are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity, the top of the closed door is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rope, the other end of the connecting rope is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the buoyancy ball, the bottom of the closed door is fixedly connected to one end of the traction spring, and the other end of the traction spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cavity.
[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the water retaining plate is provided with a porous plate, and the porous plate is located outside the water inlet.
[0013] Working principle: The bottom plate can be filled with soil, and then plants are planted on the soil surface. The bottom plate can be divided into multiple horizontal and vertical strips by using the root holes, and then the roots of the plants are used to wrap around the horizontal and vertical strips of the bottom plate, and at the same time, the roots extend into the soil at the bottom of the bottom plate, so as to fix the embankment slope protection on the ground. At the same time, the plant roots can be used to maintain water and soil. The second water collection trough and the first water collection trough can be used to collect rainwater on rainy days, and then filter stones and support plates are used to prevent debris from falling into the second water collection trough and the first water collection trough. The rainwater collected in the second water collection trough can be transported to the first water collection trough by using the waterway, and then the rainwater collected in the first water collection trough is stored through the cavity inside the water retaining plate, and the filtered stored water is transported to the inside of the water pump through the suction pipe, and then the water source is transported to the inside of the irrigation water pipe through the water pump, and the water source is output to the soil through the water outlet hole in the upper section of the irrigation water pipe, so as to ensure that the plants have sufficient water.
[0014] When there is no rain in the dry season, the water level inside the water retaining plate will drop, which will cause the height of the buoyancy ball to drop, thereby reducing the pulling force on the closed door. The closed door can be pulled downward by the traction spring to open the water inlet. The river water outside the water retaining plate will be input into the water retaining plate through the water inlet. At this time, the water pump can continue to irrigate the plants. When the water level inside the water retaining plate reaches the top of the water inlet, the buoyancy ball will generate buoyancy again to pull the closed door upward to close the water inlet.
[0015] The present invention provides a hydropower dam slope protection structure for preventing and controlling soil erosion.
[0016] Beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. In the present invention, the bottom plate is divided into a plurality of horizontal and vertical strips through root holes, and then soil is filled on the surface of the bottom plate, and then green plants are planted on the soil surface. The roots of the green plants entwine the horizontal and vertical strips and extend into the soil at the bottom of the bottom plate, thereby maintaining the soil at the bottom of the bottom plate while stably fixing the bottom plate on the foundation surface, thereby solving the problem that traditional hydropower dam slope protection is often cast with a full concrete structure, but due to heavy rainfall in the rainy season, the soil at the bottom of the dam slope protection may be washed away by rainwater. As the amount of soil loss continues to increase, the bottom of the dam slope protection loses sufficient support, which will cause the problem of unstable foundation at the bottom of the dam slope protection.
[0018] 2. In the present invention, the second water collection trough and the first water collection trough can increase the rainwater collection area, the rainwater collected in the second water collection trough can be transported to the first water collection trough through the water channel, and then the rainwater collected in the second water collection trough and the first water collection trough is stored in the cavity inside the water baffle, and then the water source in the cavity is transported to the upper part of the bottom plate through the irrigation water pipe by a water pump, and then the plants on the surface of the bottom plate are irrigated through the water outlet, thereby ensuring the growth of the plants.
[0019] 3. In the present invention, the water source inside the river channel can be transported to the cavity of the water retaining plate through the water inlet. When the water level in the cavity is lower than the top surface of the water inlet, the buoyancy of the buoyancy ball is less than the tension of the traction spring, and the closed door moves downward to open the water inlet, and the external water source is input for replenishment. When the water level of the replenished water source is higher than the top surface of the water inlet, the buoyancy of the buoyancy ball is greater than the tension of the traction spring, and the closed door moves upward to prevent the water source inside the cavity from being lost, thereby ensuring the watering of plants when there is a lack of rain in the dry season.
