Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water-saving ship lock gates, in particular to a design of a water-saving ship lock gate. Background Art

[0002] A water-saving ship lock is a ship lock with a water tank built on one or both sides of the lock chamber to temporarily store part of the water discharged when the lock chamber is drained. The stored water is then poured back into the lock chamber when the lock chamber is filled with water, thereby saving water consumption for passing through the lock. Due to the different specifications of existing water-saving ship locks, the smaller ones cannot be expanded a second time and cannot meet the shipping needs, while the larger ones are prone to waste resources when there are fewer ships passing through. For this reason, we propose a water-saving ship lock gate design. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a water-saving ship lock gate design, which can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a water-saving ship lock gate design, comprising a precast concrete structure, precast pipelines, a pre-excavated wide and deep foundation pit, the laying of precast concrete structures and pipelines, a lock chamber, walls, an outer frame arrangement, spliced ​​concrete structural members, a side wall basin, a lock chamber, the lock chamber size being adjusted according to usage, and the side wall basin being recycled and reused. The precast concrete structure and precast pipelines comprise a precast cement block foundation, a precast side wall basin, and precast pipelines. The precast concrete structure and pipelines are primarily constructed using precast cement blocks, which are stacked in a square shape to form the bottom of a pool / sluice gate, followed by the laying of pipelines and a cover. The poured concrete cover and the underlying cement block foundation are separated by felt / plastic sheeting, and the pool bottom foundation is constructed using stacked building block concrete blocks. The size of the lock chamber can be adjusted according to the usage mainly by draining the lock chamber, then pumping water from the side wall basin to empty the basin, and then lifting it away. The lock chamber can be widened. Before widening, water can be saved to reserve space for widening. The concrete cover poured at the bottom can be opened, and then these prefabricated blocks can be lifted one by one to adjust the space under the lock chamber. The side wall basin recycling and reuse is mainly to reuse the recycled prefabricated side wall basin as a fence / railing or a small house.

[0005] Preferably, the concrete structural members are mainly joined with sealant, and the edges and corners of the concrete blocks are joined and sealed with rubber strips / rubber wrapping / spray glue.

[0006] Preferably, the water-saving ship lock gate design includes the following steps: Step 1: Prefabricate concrete structure, prefabricate pipelines, and pre-dig a wide and deep foundation pit: Prefabricate cement block foundations, prefabricate side wall basins, and corresponding waterway pipelines according to the planned area of ​​the water-saving ship lock, and pre-dig a wide and deep foundation pit; Step 2: Lay precast concrete structure and pipelines, lock chamber, walls, set up outer frame, splice concrete structural parts, side wall basin, lock chamber: stack precast cement blocks in a square shape to make the bottom of the pool / sluice, then lay pipelines, and add a cover. The cast concrete cover and the cement block foundation below are separated by felt / plastic sheeting. The pool bottom foundation is stacked with building block concrete blocks, and the walls are cast in one piece. The full frame structure, the outer frame / lock chamber wall is also formed by casting technology. A layer of water-saving side wall is added to the lock chamber wall. The precast side wall basin is installed and fixed on the water-saving side wall according to usage requirements, and multiple lock chambers are connected with water channels. Water retaining plates are installed in the lock chamber. Step 3: Adjust the size of the lock chamber according to usage: Based on the demand for ships passing through, the lock chamber can be widened by draining the water, then emptying the water basin on the side wall, and then lifting and removing it. Before widening, water can be saved to reserve space for widening. The concrete cover poured at the bottom can be opened, and then these prefabricated blocks can be lifted one by one to adjust the space under the lock chamber; Step 4: Recycling and reusing the side wall basin: The prefabricated side wall basin recycled in step 3 can be used as a fence / railing or a secondary use for small houses.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention realizes the regulation of the water-saving ship lock through the steps of prefabricating concrete structure, prefabricating pipelines, pre-digging a wide and deep foundation pit, laying prefabricated concrete structure and pipelines, lock chamber, wall, setting external frame, splicing concrete structural members, side wall water basin, lock chamber, adjusting the size of the lock chamber according to usage, and recycling the side wall water basin: When there are fewer ships passing through the lock at the beginning, the width of the lock chamber can be adjusted by using the side wall basin's space occupation and water storage function, thereby reducing the time required for one operation (water consumption). The water storage in the side wall basin can also shorten the time it takes for the horizontal surface between the two lock chambers to be flush, making it more efficient and economical. It reserves space for upgrading. When there are many ships passing through the lock, the lock chamber can be widened by draining the water, then pumping the water out of the side basin to make it empty, and then lifting it away. Water can be saved before widening, and space for widening can be reserved. The concrete cover poured at the bottom can be opened, and then these prefabricated blocks can be lifted up one by one to adjust the space under the lock chamber, thereby realizing the upgrade of the lock chamber. This design can save water as much as possible while ensuring the efficiency of the lock work, and it does not need to be very troublesome when widening and deepening in the future. Recycled precast concrete parts can be reused, and recycled precast sidewall basins can be used as fences / railings, and small houses can be reused for the second time, which is beneficial to people's use.

[0008] Therefore, this valve realizes the regulation of water-saving ship locks. The width of the ship locks can be adjusted seasonally according to the number of ships passing through. For example, the width of the ship locks can be adjusted according to the seasonal changes in the number of ships passing through (small boats in a group), which is one aspect of seasonal water saving. More importantly, the water basin design reserves space for future upgrades and renovations of the lock by adding, subtracting, and removing the water basin. It also reserves space for future increases in ship size, which at least reduces the necessity for upgrades and renovations. This may save the need for a second upgrade and renovation project, reduce project costs, and does not affect the passage of ships, shortening the lock's window period and not affecting economic benefits.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0011] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0012] A water-saving ship lock gate design includes a precast concrete structure, precast pipelines, a wide and deep pre-excavation pit, laying of the precast concrete structure and pipelines, a lock chamber, walls, an outer frame, splicing of concrete structural members, a side wall basin, a lock chamber, adjusting the size of the lock chamber according to usage, and recycling the side wall basin; Precast concrete structures and precast pipelines include precast cement block foundations, precast sidewall basins, and precast pipelines. The precast concrete structures and pipelines are primarily constructed using precast cement blocks, which are stacked in a square shape to form the bottom of the pool / sluice. Pipes are then laid, and a cover is added. The poured concrete cover and the underlying cement block foundation are separated by felt / plastic sheeting. The pool bottom foundation is constructed using modular concrete blocks stacked together to form the foundation. Since the water head of a ship lock is low, the precast cement blocks are heavier than water and will not float. The size of the lock chamber can be adjusted according to usage mainly by draining the lock chamber, then emptying the water basin on the side wall, and then lifting it away. The lock chamber can be widened. Before widening, water can be saved to reserve space for widening. The concrete cover poured at the bottom can be opened, and then these prefabricated blocks can be lifted one by one to adjust the space under the lock chamber. In addition to reserving space for lock upgrades and renovations, seasonal adjustments can also be made. For example, in the off-season, there are fewer ships. If smaller ships pass through the lock in groups, the lock can be narrower. Of course, it can also reserve space for increasing the width of a single ship in the future. If the lock chamber wants to lower the water depth to save water, the water level can be lower than the maximum water level and only as much as needed can be used.

[0013] To increase the water depth of the lock chamber for larger ships, the gate / lock chamber wall can be raised by one section.

[0014] If the width of a large ship is not enough, drain the lock chamber, pump out the water from the side basin to make it empty, and then lift it and move it away. The lock chamber can be widened. Before widening, water can be saved to reserve space for widening.

[0015] The recycling and reuse of side wall basins mainly involves the reuse of recycled prefabricated side wall basins as fences / railings and small houses.

[0016] For the prefabricated cement block part, under the premise of meeting the engineering requirements, prefabricated blocks can be used in places where the lock is not important / areas that do not bear lateral water pressure. Modular stacking, including the ground under the lock and pipelines, is convenient for construction, and it is also easy to change and replace pipelines. Of course, the final demolition and reconstruction will be even easier. The pipeline and the lock body structure are sealed with melted asphalt / rubber sealing rings.

[0017] Sealant is mainly used to join concrete structural parts. Rubber strips / rubber lagging / spray glue are used to join and seal the edges and corners of concrete blocks. If rubber materials are used, hot air can melt them. As long as the dimensions of the concrete parts are accurate and a little sealing material is added to the edges and corners, leakage is very limited. Melted asphalt can also be used. It can be used to join water-saving pools for canal locks. As attached Figure 7 , Attachment Figure 8 As shown, A: Top view of the spliced ​​pool, showing the internal vertical panels. D: Tie rods secure the retaining plate. Instead of internal vertical panels, multiple tie rods are used to secure the retaining plate to the gate wall. A single tie rod is lightweight, making it easier to secure the connection manually. E: External retaining plate. For sealing, the mortise and tenon joints are excellent, making it easy to fill with sealant.

[0018] The design of water-saving ship lock gate includes the following steps: Step 1: Prefabricate concrete structures, prefabricate pipelines, and pre-dig wider and deeper foundation pits: Prefabricate cement block foundations, prefabricate side wall basins, and corresponding water pipelines according to the planned area of ​​the water-saving ship lock, and pre-dig wider and deeper foundation pits; pre-dig wider and deeper foundation pits for the ship lock to reserve space for upgrading and renovation of the ship lock.

[0019] Step 2: Lay the precast concrete structure and pipelines, lock chamber, walls, external frame setting, splicing concrete structural parts, side wall basin, lock chamber: stack the precast cement blocks in a square shape to make the bottom of the pool / sluice, then lay the pipelines, and add a layer of cover. The poured concrete cover and the cement block foundation below are separated by felt / plastic cloth. The pool bottom foundation is stacked with building block concrete blocks, and the walls are cast into shape as a whole, as shown in the attached picture. Figure 2 As shown; The full frame structure, the outer frame / lock chamber wall is also formed by casting technology, and a layer of water-saving side wall is added to the lock chamber wall. The prefabricated side wall basin is installed and fixed on the water-saving side wall according to the use requirements, as shown in the attached Figure 4 As shown, multiple lock chambers are connected by water channels, and water retaining plates are installed in the lock chambers; Step 3: Adjust the size of the lock chamber according to usage: Based on the demand for ships passing through, the lock chamber can be widened by draining the water, then emptying the water basin on the side wall, and then lifting and removing it. Before widening, water can be saved to reserve space for widening. The concrete cover poured at the bottom can be opened, and then these prefabricated blocks can be lifted one by one to adjust the space under the lock chamber; Step 4: Recycling and reusing the side wall basin: The prefabricated side wall basin recycled in step 3 can be used as a fence / railing or a secondary use for small houses.

[0020] The structural diagram of the side wall basin is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3The prefabricated side wall basin will not be used in the future and can be used as a fence / railing. If the opening is relatively large, 2×2m, 10m high, 10m long when folded down, 20 square meters, with a window at the bottom, it can be used as a staff dormitory or housing for dual-employee workers in the gate area during their work, without a bathroom and kitchen.

[0021] A lock chamber is 100m long. If 50 side wall water basins are placed on one side, it will be 50 single rooms. A double-line 3-level ship lock will have 300 single rooms, which can be used as classrooms, dormitories, and special schools in the canal area. When stacked together, they can form a building.

[0022] 10m long, 2×2m, hollow wall thickness 20cm, 1m³ concrete is used for 1m long, which is 2 tons, so 10m long is 20 tons. Regardless of weight and size, it can be transported by ordinary flatbed trucks; Add through-rod reinforcement in the middle line, open holes along the center line, add protective plates on the outside, and tighten the protective plates from top to bottom with bolts, just like the seismic reinforcement design of simple buildings in the past; The water retaining board can be made of concrete water retaining board or engineering plastic water retaining board; Normally, the lock chamber is at least 1 / 2 full of water, which offsets each other. The water basin can withstand a maximum of 5m of water pressure. If the lock chamber is dry for a long time, the water pressure in the basin will be quite high. Therefore, a drain outlet is added at 1 / 2 height to allow the water in the basin to flow out slowly, so that the basin will not be under water pressure for a long time. Normally, when ships pass through, the water level in the basin fluctuates by a maximum of 5m. With such a short passing time, it is necessary to arrange the drainage outlet size reasonably. Often, after the water level in the lock chamber is lowered, the water basin begins to drain water outwards and the water level in the lock chamber begins to rise again. Normally, the water pressure in the basin changes very little. Only when there is no water in the lock chamber, the drainage outlet at the bottom of the basin is opened to drain the water.

[0023] As attached Figure 5 As shown, the side wall basin is made of engineering plastic. The basin designed with engineering plastic can be recycled and will not be scrapped after retirement. It can be used as a residence for many years and can also be converted into an RV for easy moving. The plastic can also be recycled and there will be no garbage.

[0024] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the water basin is designed with reinforced bolts to withstand internal water pressure. Bolt holes are left in the middle, and bolts are added. The wooden board connected between the bolts tightens the water basin to prevent it from being damaged by the water pressure in the barrel. Because the water depth of the canal lock on land may be more than 10m, such as the draft depth plus the water level change height, the water pressure fluctuates repeatedly, which tests the strength of the water basin.

[0025] As attached Figure 9As shown, on the left, the cement board bucket and the engineering plastic bucket are used together: the plastic bucket is above the cement board bucket, and the super bucket is considered to be 10m deep, which is enough for the general inland ship lock to deal with the water level change of 1 / 2 of the lock depth, that is, 5m. If the depth of a single lock is 20 / 30m, the water level changes to 15m or even greater. It is probably difficult for an engineering plastic bucket to withstand such a large water pressure. Therefore, the cement board bucket method can also be used in conjunction with the engineering plastic bucket; the method is: for example, a 30m deep ship lock is below 20m to assemble cement board water storage, and in this assembled water A thick cover is added on top of the mud plate, and this cover is used as the base of the plastic bucket. The engineering plastic bucket is placed on the base of the cover. When the water level outside the bucket drops, it will be slightly lower than the bottom of the plastic bucket. The plastic bucket needs to withstand a water level change of 10m. Through structural design, the structure of the plastic bucket is strengthened, such as reinforcing ribs at the edges and corners. The bucket becomes thicker and stronger as it goes down. There is also a bolt hole in the middle of the long side of the bucket (such as the 6m side of the 3×6m opening), and inward-tightened bolts are added. The plastic bucket should be able to do this and repeatedly withstand 10m water pressure changes, which is the height of a 3- or 4-story residential building.

[0026] The reason why the opening size of the bucket is designed to be 2×4m or 3×6m is that the bucket can be reused as a residential house after leaving the lock. If this is not considered, the opening of the plastic bucket can also be designed to be square. The square opening is definitely more resistant to pressure changes and more durable than the rectangular opening.

[0027] Another point is that engineering plastics are lightweight materials. If they fall during use and hit the deck of a ship, the damage to the ship and people will be very limited. If a concrete slab falls on the deck of a ship, it is easy to injure people and the ship.

[0028] Prefabricated engineering plastic basins may not look regular when used to convert houses, but they are suitable for use as bungalows or container houses in remote villages. Moreover, this type of housing is not bad as long as it is manufactured. For example, its earthquake resistance is good. An 8-magnitude earthquake will only shake people out of bed, and there is no need to worry about a 12-magnitude earthquake. Even if the house is overturned, no one will die.

[0029] If it is considered to be used to make simple houses, a 10m long house can be spliced ​​with more than 3m or 4m blocks, the interfaces can be heated and bonded, and then the joints can be reinforced with bolts, or holes can be left from beginning to end and the steel bars can be connected from beginning to end, which is convenient for production and moving.

[0030] If you feel that 2 / 2.5m is too short, you can increase it to 3.5m and add a partition to make a bed. If it is bigger, it will be a double decker.

[0031] Therefore, this application realizes the regulation of water-saving locks. The lock width is adjusted seasonally according to the number of ships passing through. For example, the lock width can be adjusted according to the seasonal change in the number of ships passing through (small boats in a group). This is one aspect of seasonal water saving. More importantly, the water basin design reserves space for future upgrades and renovations of the lock by adding, subtracting, and removing the water basin. It also reserves space for future increases in ship size, which at least reduces the necessity for upgrades and renovations. This may save the need for a second upgrade and renovation project, reduce project costs, and does not affect the passage of ships, shortening the lock's window period and not affecting economic benefits.

[0032] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
