AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, active drainage anti-buoyancy systems for underground structures cannot accurately sense water pressure at different locations in real time. This results in high energy consumption and an inability to work in conjunction with passive anti-buoyancy components after the active drainage system starts and stops, making it unable to effectively cope with extreme weather or sudden water level changes.

Method used

By employing a pressure sensor array, an adjustable one-way pressure relief valve, and a cloud platform controller, the water pressure of the underground structure is monitored in real time. Combined with the passive anti-buoyancy bearing capacity, the ratio of buoyancy force to bearing capacity is calculated by linear interpolation, and the opening of the pressure relief valve is dynamically adjusted to achieve joint control of active and passive anti-buoyancy.

Benefits of technology

This approach achieves the goal of reducing drainage volume while ensuring structural buoyancy safety, reducing energy consumption, and improving the system's response speed and buoyancy resistance.

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of underground structure engineering technology, specifically to an active-passive combined anti-buoyancy system and control method for underground structures. The system includes a pressure sensor array, an adjustable one-way pressure relief valve, and a cloud platform controller. The pressure sensor array is used to periodically collect water pressure data at different locations on the foundation of the underground structure and feed it back to the cloud platform controller. The adjustable one-way pressure relief valve is used to perform drainage operations. The cloud platform controller receives the water pressure data from the pressure sensor array, combines the passive anti-buoyancy bearing capacity of the structure with the buoyancy force experienced by the structure at various locations in the current state, performs a combined anti-buoyancy calculation, obtains the resistance effect ratio within the underground structure range, and controls the opening degree of the adjustable one-way pressure relief valve. This invention can regulate the water pressure level of underground engineering in real time, and by analyzing the structural bearing capacity margin in real time, it can ensure the structural anti-buoyancy safety while reducing drainage volume.
