Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of flood discharge, and particularly relates to a flood discharge chute water flow energy dissipation automatic regulation system and method. Background Art

[0002] Traditional flood discharge chute energy dissipation solutions mainly adopt energy dissipators with fixed structural forms such as stilling basins and energy dissipation piers, and have the following defects: (1) Poor structural adaptability: The structural forms of traditional energy dissipators are fixed, and when facing the dynamic changes of flow rate, flow velocity and water level during flood discharge, they cannot flexibly adjust their own structures to adapt to different water flow conditions. For example, when the flow rate suddenly increases, the fixed structure is difficult to effectively disperse the water flow energy, which may cause the water flow impact force to concentrate, resulting in serious scouring of the downstream riverbed, dikes, etc. The solution in the patent can better cope with the water flow changes by real-time monitoring of water flow parameters and dynamically adjusting the energy dissipator structure. (2) Poor energy dissipation effect: Because the structure is fixed, traditional energy dissipators cannot achieve the ideal energy dissipation effect in many cases. Under different flood discharge conditions, a single fixed structure cannot fully dissipate the water flow energy, resulting in greater risks for downstream hydraulic structures. In contrast, the solution in the patent realizes efficient and stable energy dissipation by calculating the optimal energy dissipator configuration parameters, ensuring effective protection of downstream facilities under various flood discharge conditions. (3) Backward design method: The design of traditional energy dissipators relies on empirical formulas and static hydraulic models, lacking the ability of precise analysis and real-time response to water flow conditions. During the actual flood discharge process, the water flow conditions are complex and changeable, and this design method based on static analysis is difficult to meet the actual needs. The patent solution introduces advanced sensing technology and automatic control algorithms, which can perform precise calculations and adjustments according to the water flow conditions in real time, greatly improving the energy dissipation efficiency. (4) Low degree of intelligence: Traditional energy dissipators lack remote monitoring and automatic regulation capabilities and cannot achieve intelligent management. During the project management and maintenance process, on-site monitoring and operation need to be carried out manually, which is not only inefficient but also has certain safety risks. The automatic regulation system in the patent supports remote monitoring and operation, improves the degree of intelligence, facilitates project management and maintenance, reduces labor costs and potential safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to design a flood discharge chute water flow energy dissipation automatic regulation system and method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, in step S2, before calculating the configuration parameters, it is determined whether flood discharge has started. If the state is currently in flood discharge, the next step is entered; if the state has not started, continuous monitoring and waiting are performed.

[0030] Preferably, in step S2, before calculating the configuration parameters, it is determined whether flood discharge has started. If the state is currently in flood discharge, the next step is entered; if the state has not started, continuous monitoring and waiting are performed.

If not, continue monitoring and adjustment; if completed, proceed to the initial configuration recovery step.

[0032] Embodiment 2: like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a regulation method based on the automatic regulation system of flood discharge channel water flow efficiency, and the specific process is as follows: (1) Start: Indicates the starting point of the entire system control process.

[0033] (2) Sensor system 4 monitors flow rate Q, flow velocity v, and water level h in real time: Sensor system 4 continuously collects key parameters of water flow in the spillway.

[0034] (3) Whether flood discharge has started: Determine whether the flood discharge is currently in progress. If it has not started, continue monitoring and waiting. If it has started, proceed to the next step.

[0035] (4) The control system 5 calculates the optimal configuration parameters θ, P, and H of the wide tail pier adjustment plate based on the monitoring data: The control system 5 calculates the optimal angle θ, position P, and height H of the wide tail pier adjustment plate based on the data collected by the sensor using a multivariate linear regression model and the least squares method.

[0036] (5) The driving device 2 (hydraulic cylinder) adjusts the wide tail pier adjustment plate to the optimal configuration: The driving device 2 adjusts the angle, position and height of the wide tail pier adjustment plate according to the optimal parameters calculated by the control system 5.

[0037] (6) During the flood discharge process, the sensor continuously monitors the water flow parameters: During the flood discharge, the sensor continuously monitors the water flow parameters in real time to prepare for the subsequent judgment of whether the wide tail pier adjustment plate needs to be adjusted.

[0038] (7) Control system 5 calculates whether the configuration needs to be adjusted based on the new data: Control system 5 recalculates the configuration parameters of the wide tail pier adjustment plate based on the newly collected water flow parameters to determine whether adjustment is needed. If adjustment is needed, return to the step of calculating the optimal configuration parameters; if not, continue monitoring.

[0040] (9) System restores initial configuration: After the flood discharge is completed, the system restores the wide tail pier adjustment plate to its initial setting state.

[0041] (10) End: Indicates that the entire system control process has ended and is waiting for the next flood discharge event to be triggered.

[0042] Embodiment three: Among the alternative options, the energy dissipation method alternatives are as follows: (1) Adding an energy dissipation pool: Instead of using an adjustable wide tail pier adjustment plate, an energy dissipation pool is set up downstream of the flood discharge channel. By setting up auxiliary energy dissipation facilities such as energy dissipation sills and energy dissipation piers in the energy dissipation pool, high-speed water flow will generate a hydraulic jump in the energy dissipation pool, and the turbulence and diffusion of the hydraulic jump will be used to consume the water flow energy. According to different water flow conditions, the size of the energy dissipation pool, the height and shape of the energy dissipation sill and other parameters can be adjusted to meet the energy dissipation requirements.

[0043] (2) Energy dissipation by diverting flow: A diverting nose is set at the end of the flood discharge channel to divert the water flow to the downstream river away from the building. The parabolic motion trajectory of the water flow is used to make the water flow diffuse and aerate in the air, and then fall into the downstream river channel. The energy is consumed by the friction between the water flow and the air and the diffusion of the water flow in the downstream river channel. The angle, elevation and shape of the diverting nose can be adjusted according to the flood discharge and terrain conditions to achieve a better energy dissipation effect.

[0044] (3) Bottom flow energy dissipation combined with auxiliary energy dissipators: A horizontal or inclined guardrail is set at the bottom of the spillway to form the basis for bottom flow energy dissipation. At the same time, some auxiliary energy dissipators of fixed shape and size are arranged on the guardrail, such as tooth piers and tail sills. When the water flows through the guardrail, the turbulence of the bottom flow and the blocking and interference of the auxiliary energy dissipators are used to enhance the turbulence of the water flow, thereby consuming the energy of the water flow. This method can design the appropriate guardrail length, slope, form and arrangement spacing of the auxiliary energy dissipators according to common water flow conditions.

[0045] Among the alternatives, the automatic adjustment system alternatives are as follows: (1) PLC-based control system 5: Instead of using an embedded system, a programmable logic controller (PLC) is used as the core of the control system 5. PLC has the characteristics of high reliability, flexible programming, and strong anti-interference ability. The water flow parameter signal collected by the sensor can be input into the PLC. By writing the corresponding control program, data processing and calculation are performed in the PLC to obtain the control parameters of the energy dissipator, and the control signal is output to the drive device 2 to achieve the adjustment of the energy dissipator structure.

[0046] (2) Distributed Control System 5 (DCS): DCS is used to control the entire flood spillway energy dissipation system. DCS can connect various parts of the system, such as sensors, controllers, and drive devices 2, through a network to achieve decentralized control and centralized management. In DCS, multiple field control stations can be set up to collect water flow parameters at different locations and control the energy dissipation equipment in the corresponding areas. The entire system is then monitored and managed uniformly through the central operation station, and the operation of each energy dissipation device is coordinated according to the overall water flow conditions.

[0047] (3) Intelligent control algorithm replacement: In addition to the multivariate linear regression model, intelligent control methods such as neural network algorithm and fuzzy control algorithm can also be used to calculate the optimal configuration parameters of the energy dissipator. Taking the neural network algorithm as an example, the neural network is trained with a large amount of historical water flow parameter data and the corresponding optimal energy dissipator configuration parameter data to learn the complex nonlinear relationship between the water flow parameters and the energy dissipator configuration parameters. In actual operation, the neural network can quickly output the optimal energy dissipator configuration parameters based on the real-time monitored water flow parameters, providing a decision basis for the control system 5.
