Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydropower station intake channel maintenance technology, specifically a drag chain maintenance system and method for water diversion channels. Background Technology

[0002] Hydropower stations have complex and extensive internal piping systems that perform multiple functions, including water, oil, and gas transportation. Their intake channels are typically made of concrete, which is susceptible to erosion, wear, and damage over time due to the flow of water, sand, and other debris. As the power station operates, problems such as pipe aging, corrosion, and blockage become increasingly apparent, necessitating regular maintenance and repair. Therefore, the demand for pipeline maintenance equipment is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] Water diversion channels are typically characterized by enclosed spaces, narrow inlets and outlets, and large vertical drops, which pose significant challenges to maintenance operations. Specifically, the following technical problems exist: Due to the narrow inlet space of the water diversion channel, large lifting equipment cannot enter, making it difficult to transport maintenance equipment and materials to the work location.

[0004] Traditional maintenance platforms or suspended baskets are prone to swaying when operating in the vertical section, which not only affects the accuracy of maintenance but also poses safety hazards, making it extremely difficult for personnel to get close for inspection and for high-altitude repair work.

[0005] Existing technologies typically only inspect and repair the bottom plate of the horizontal section of the flow channel, while the vertical section is inspected and recorded using drones. This results in a small scope of inspection, which not only fails to achieve full coverage of the flow channel inspection but also significantly impacts work efficiency and overall inspection quality.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, some solutions have been proposed in the prior art. For example, Chinese invention patent CN118270673A discloses a water diversion channel maintenance equipment and its usage method. This equipment includes a mobile chassis, a personnel access passage, a climbing mechanism, a personnel-carrying mechanism, a pulley system, a winch, and other components. The equipment moves within the channel via the mobile chassis and uses the winch and pulley system to raise and lower the personnel-carrying mechanism, thus enabling maintenance work on the vertical sections of the water diversion channel. However, this prior art still has the following shortcomings: (1) The equipment uses a winch to pull the basket for lifting operations. The basket still sways when running in the vertical section and needs to rely on the pulley block anchored at the top, which requires a high bearing capacity of the top anchor point. (2) The manned operation mechanism of the equipment adopts a concentric circle structure of the mother basket and the daughter basket, which is relatively complex and the assembly and operation process is cumbersome. (3) The equipment lacks a mechanism for multi-point and multi-angle stable support inside the flow channel, and there is still room for improvement in the accessibility and flexibility of the working platform; (4) The personnel passage of the equipment is composed of articulated unit passages. Although it has a certain degree of adaptability, the stability and safety of the passages still need to be strengthened in the transition area between the vertical and horizontal sections. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to provide a drag chain maintenance system and method for water diversion channels. It aims to solve the problems of existing water diversion channel maintenance equipment having difficulty moving in vertical sections, unstable support, and limited maintenance range. By using a drag chain vehicle system that can climb along the wall and a diagonal bracing component that is deployed and pressed against the opposite side wall to form a stable triangular support structure, and using a rotating component to drive the working basket to rotate 360° along the inner wall, safe, stable, and blind-spot-free full-coverage maintenance of the entire water diversion channel, especially the vertical section, is achieved, which greatly improves the stability, safety and work efficiency of maintenance operations.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a water diversion channel drag chain maintenance system, including a drag chain vehicle system, a support and fixing component and a maintenance component; The chain-carrying vehicle system is installed in the water diversion channel and can travel along the wall of the water diversion channel to provide driving force; The support and fixing assembly includes a diagonal brace assembly and a horizontal support assembly hinged to the cable car system. The diagonal brace assembly can be extended and retracted. When in the extended state, the end of the diagonal brace assembly abuts against the inner wall surface of the water diversion channel opposite to the cable car system. The horizontal support assembly is suspended below the diagonal brace assembly. The maintenance assembly includes a slewing assembly and a working basket that are movably connected to the horizontal support assembly. The slewing assembly can drive the working basket to rotate horizontally, so that the working basket is close to the inner wall of the water diversion channel.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the diagonal bracing assembly includes a diagonal bracing rod, the first end of which is hinged to the chain conveyor system via an intermediate pin connecting block, and the tail end of which abuts against the inner wall of the water diversion channel. The diagonal brace is equipped with several telescopic and adjustable slings, the other end of which is connected to the horizontal support assembly to adjust the posture of the horizontal support assembly. The diagonal brace is also connected to a safety rope, which extends to the middle or rear of the chain vehicle system and tightens the diagonal brace.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the slewing assembly includes a slewing seat connected to a horizontal support assembly, a lifting beam connected to the slewing seat, and a slewing beam disposed below the lifting beam; The working basket is located at one end of the slewing beam, and a balance adjustment component is located at the other end of the slewing beam. The lifting beam is equipped with at least two lifting adjustment seats, which are connected to the slewing beam and used to adjust the angle of the slewing beam relative to the lifting beam.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the balance adjustment assembly includes a top support rod disposed on the slewing beam and a counterweight block slidably disposed on the top support rod. The counterweight block can move axially along the top support rod to adjust the balance of the slewing beam.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the cable car system includes several parallel cable car groups, each cable car group including several cable cars that are articulated sequentially, and the main beam of the first cable car at the foremost end of the cable car group is provided with a connection position that is articulated with the support and fixing components. Each of the aforementioned cable carriers includes a main beam, a traveling assembly mounted on the main beam, and an enclosed guardrail mounted above the main beam to form a guardrail passage.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the walking assembly includes a support arm structure connected to the main beam. The support arm structure includes a bottom support arm and a reinforcing support arm. The middle part of the bottom support arm is connected to the main beam through a support arm seat. The reinforcing support arms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main beam and connected to the bottom support arm to form a V-shaped structure. The two ends of the bottom support arm are provided with walking wheels.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the main beam is provided with several connecting grooves, and the enclosed guardrail is detachably installed at the connecting grooves; The enclosed guardrail includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part is connected to a connecting groove, and the second connecting part is connected to the first connecting part to form a closed structure.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the cable car includes a front hook structure located at the front end of the main beam and a rear hook structure located at the rear end of the main beam. The front hook structure and the rear hook structure are used for articulated connection between adjacent cable cars. The front end of the main beam is provided with a fixed hinge seat, and the front coupler structure includes a first hinge ring and a second hinge ring. The first hinge ring is connected to the fixed hinge seat, and the second hinge ring is fixedly connected to the first hinge ring. The hinge directions of the first hinge ring and the second hinge ring form an angle. The rear end of the main beam is provided with a beam end cap, on which a rotating connection hole is formed. The rear coupler structure includes a slewing shaft and a movable hinge seat. The slewing shaft is rotatably engaged with the rotating connection hole, and the movable hinge seat is connected and fixed on the slewing shaft.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the horizontal support assembly is provided with a downward-extending working ladder, the lower end of which extends to the working basket to establish a personnel passage.

[0017] The maintenance method based on the above-mentioned water diversion channel cable chain maintenance system includes the following steps: S1. Deploy the chain truck system in the water diversion channel and allow it to travel along the channel wall to the designated maintenance position. S2. Unfold the diagonal brace assembly that is hinged to the chain trolley system, so that its end abuts against the inner wall surface of the water channel opposite to the chain trolley system; S3. Unfold the support fixing component connected to the diagonal brace component and hang it below the diagonal brace component; S4. The working basket is driven to rotate horizontally by the slewing component, so that the working basket can move along the inner wall of the water diversion channel and carry out maintenance work. S5. After the maintenance is completed, retract the support fixing components and diagonal brace components in sequence, so that they fit into the cable car system, and move them to the next maintenance position or out of the water diversion channel via the cable car system.

[0018] The water diversion channel drag chain maintenance system and method provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects by adopting the above structure: (1) The use of a drag chain vehicle system that can climb vertically along the wall can directly transport the support and fixing components and maintenance components to the vertical and inclined sections of the water diversion channel, which are difficult for traditional equipment to reach for operation. At the same time, the rotating component can drive the working basket to rotate 360° in the horizontal direction, so that maintenance personnel can perform fine inspection and repair work at any position close to the inner wall of the channel. This completely overcomes the limitations of the existing technology, which can only perform maintenance on the horizontal section and can only rely on drones for rough inspection of the vertical section, and significantly improves the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the water diversion channel maintenance. (2) In this invention, the end of the inclined brace component, after being unfolded, abuts against the inner wall of the water diversion channel and the chain trolley system, forming a stable triangular support structure with the chain trolley system. The horizontal support component and the maintenance component are reliably suspended below the inclined brace component, ensuring the stability of the working basket during vertical operation. This effectively solves the technical problem that existing suspended maintenance equipment is prone to shaking during vertical operation, affecting maintenance accuracy and posing safety hazards. At the same time, the balance adjustment component can adjust the balance state of the slewing beam in real time by sliding the counterweight along the axial direction of the top support rod, further ensuring the stability of the working basket during the slewing process. (3) The self-supporting structure is adopted. Stability can be achieved by pressing the diagonal bracing components against the opposite side wall. There is no need to drill holes at the top of the channel to install pulley blocks or anchor points. This not only simplifies the installation process and improves the work efficiency, but also avoids damage to the existing structure of the water diversion channel, reduces the risk of installation and the potential impact on the channel structure, and has significant engineering adaptability. (4) The chain truck system integrates driving, personnel passage and equipment carrying. The enclosed guardrail forms a safe personnel passage. Personnel can move with the system to the maintenance position. After maintenance is completed, the system can be retracted as a whole and moved to the next maintenance position to quickly start a new round of work. Compared with the cumbersome process of re-laying steel cables and pulley blocks in the existing technology, the work efficiency of the present invention is significantly improved.

Several frame-shaped enclosed guardrails 3 are connected and mounted above the main beam 1, forming a guardrail passage. A front hook structure 4 is provided at the front end of the main beam 1 for hinged connection to the cable car in front, and a rear hook structure 5 is provided at the rear end of the main beam 1 for hinged connection to the cable car behind.

[0042] like Figure 6 , Figure 10 As shown, the main beam 1 is provided with several connecting grooves 7, and the enclosed guardrail 3 is detachably installed at the connecting grooves 7. Specifically, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the main beam 1, the connecting groove 7 is formed on the connecting block, the connecting block is made of channel steel and welded to the main beam 1.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, the enclosed guardrail 3 includes a first connecting part 301 and a second connecting part 302.

[0048] In this embodiment, the water diversion channel cable-driven maintenance system utilizes the cable car system 12 to provide driving force, propelling the support and maintenance components within the water diversion channel 13 to a designated maintenance position. Upon reaching the predetermined position, the diagonal brace assembly 15 is deployed, its end pressed against the inner wall of the water diversion channel 13 opposite to the cable car system 12, and simultaneously secured by the safety rope 14. Next, the horizontal support assembly 16 is deflected to a set angle by adjusting the telescopic length of the sling 20. Then, the working basket 18 is rotated horizontally via the slewing assembly 17, causing it to move along the inner wall of the water diversion channel 13. Maintenance personnel descend into the working basket 18 via the working ladder 19 to perform maintenance work. After maintenance is completed, the support and maintenance components and the diagonal brace assembly 15 are sequentially retracted, fitting against the cable car system 12, and the system is then moved to the next maintenance position or exits the water diversion channel 13 via the cable car system 12.

In step S3, the horizontal support assembly 16 is deflected to a preset horizontal angle by adjusting the extension length of the sling 20 on the diagonal brace 10.

[0051] Example 4: This embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 2, except for the specific operation of step S4.

[0052] In this embodiment, in step S4, the slewing seat drives the lifting beam 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the slewing beam 22 and the working basket 18 connected to the lifting beam 21 to rotate synchronously.
