Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and in particular to an ecological flow discharge hole arrangement structure combined with a sand flushing corridor, which is suitable for the arrangement of ecological flow discharge facilities of a head hub. Background Art

[0002] In order to build a reservoir and store water on the river, hydropower projects need to build a dam on the river and cut off the water flow. However, in order to ensure the water flow required by the ecological environment of the river downstream of the dam, it is necessary to continuously discharge the ecological flow to the downstream river through the discharge facilities arranged on the dam. The flood flow discharged through the flood discharge building during the flood season can meet the ecological flow requirements, and the tailwater flow of the unit power generation during the non-flood season can also meet the ecological flow requirements. However, in the dry season and when the generator unit is under maintenance at the same time, it is necessary to activate the dedicated ecological flow discharge facility to discharge the ecological flow. In order to save project investment, hydropower projects usually use narrow river channels to build dams. Due to spatial conditions, the hub layout is relatively compact. It is relatively difficult to arrange a dedicated ecological flow discharge building alone, and the project investment is relatively large. At the same time, considering that the dedicated ecological flow discharge facility is mainly started under extreme conditions, there are fewer time periods and opportunities for use. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides an ecological flow discharge hole arrangement structure combined with a sand flushing corridor, aiming to solve the problem of ecological flow discharge in the head hub of water conservancy and hydropower engineering projects by designing a special ecological flow discharge facility which is technically feasible, simple in arrangement and has low engineering investment.

[0004] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions.

[0005] An ecological flow discharge hole arrangement structure combined with a sand flushing corridor comprises a retaining dam section, a powerhouse water diversion dam section and a bottom hole dam section which are arranged in sequence; a sand flushing corridor main pipe is arranged from the powerhouse water diversion dam section to the bottom hole dam section; a sand flushing corridor inlet is arranged in the powerhouse water diversion dam section, the sand flushing corridor inlet is connected with the sand flushing corridor main pipe; an energy dissipation pool is provided downstream of the bottom hole dam section; an outlet of the sand flushing corridor main pipe leads to the energy dissipation pool; the inlet of the sand flushing corridor main pipe extends to the retaining dam section; an ecological flow discharge hole is arranged in the retaining dam section, and the ecological flow discharge hole is connected with the sand flushing corridor main pipe.

[0006] Furthermore, the inlet bottom elevation of the ecological flow discharge hole should be lower than the dead water level.

[0007] Furthermore, the inlet elevation of the ecological flow discharge hole is higher than the inlet elevation of the sand flushing corridor. The ecological flow discharge hole is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe through the ecological flow discharge hole branch pipe. The ecological flow discharge hole branch pipe is composed of a horizontal section, an upper bend section, a vertical section, and a lower bend section connected in sequence. The end of the lower bend section is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the entrance of the sand flushing corridor is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe through the sand flushing corridor branch pipe. The sand flushing corridor main pipe and the sand flushing corridor branch pipe are arranged at the same elevation. The sand flushing corridor branch pipe consists of a horizontal section and a turning section. The end of the turning section is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a flood discharge bottom hole is arranged in the bottom hole dam section, which directly leads to the energy dissipation pool. A power generation water inlet, a generator set and a tailwater channel are arranged in the plant water diversion dam section. Water flows through the generator set to generate electricity and then is discharged into the tailwater channel.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the structure proposed by the utility model utilizes the "multi-hole integration" layout feature of the sand flushing corridor, and an ecological flow discharge hole is arranged in the dam section. The ecological flow discharge hole is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe, with a simple layout and less interference. While ensuring that the ecological flow discharge hole has the special discharge function, it can also reduce the duplication of main pipes and opening and closing equipment, and has strong adaptability to hydropower projects built in narrow river valleys.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an ecological flow discharge hole arrangement structure combined with a sand flushing corridor comprises a retaining dam section 11, a powerhouse water diversion dam section 12, and a bottom hole dam section 13 arranged in sequence, a sand flushing corridor main pipe 14 is arranged from the powerhouse water diversion dam section 12 to the bottom hole dam section 13, a sand flushing corridor inlet 15 is arranged in the powerhouse water diversion dam section 12, and the sand flushing corridor inlet 15 is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14, an energy dissipation pool 17 is provided downstream of the bottom hole dam section 13, and the outlet of the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14 leads to the energy dissipation pool 17, and the sand flushing corridor main pipe inlet extends to the retaining dam section 11, and an ecological flow discharge hole 18 is arranged in the retaining dam section 11, and the ecological flow discharge hole 18 is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14.

[0019] As an optional embodiment, the inlet bottom elevation of the ecological flow discharge hole 18 is lower than the dead water level. The size of the inlet orifice is determined by hydraulic calculation according to the ecological flow to be discharged and the reservoir water level elevation.

[0020] As an optional embodiment, the inlet elevation of the ecological flow discharge hole 18 is higher than the inlet elevation of the sand flushing corridor. The ecological flow discharge hole 18 is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14 through the ecological flow discharge hole branch pipe 19. The ecological flow discharge hole branch pipe 19 adopts the arrangement of "horizontal section 191→upward bend section 192→vertical section 193→downward bend section 194". The end of the downward bend section 194 is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14, see Figure 2 .

[0021] As an optional embodiment, the sand flushing corridor inlet 15 is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14 through the sand flushing corridor branch pipe 16. The sand flushing corridor main pipe 14 and the sand flushing corridor branch pipe 16 are arranged at the same elevation. The sand flushing corridor branch pipe 16 consists of a horizontal section and a turning section, and the end of the turning section is connected to the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14.

[0022] As an optional embodiment, since the main pipe and branch pipe bodies of the sand flushing corridor and the branch pipe 19 of the ecological flow discharge hole are all buried in the dam body, considering the inconvenience of maintenance during operation, steel plate lining is adopted.

The power generation water inlet 22, the generator set 23 and the tailwater channel 24 are arranged in the powerhouse diversion dam section 12. The water flows through the generator set 23 to generate electricity and then is discharged to the downstream tailwater channel 24. The outlet of the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14 is arranged in the flood discharge bottom hole 21 dam section, and the water flows into the energy dissipation pool 17 at the outlet of the flood discharge bottom hole 21 to avoid the duplication of energy dissipation facilities. When the hydropower project is discharging floods, generating electricity or flushing sand, the ecological flow discharge hole may not be activated. However, under extreme conditions where the flood discharge facilities, generator sets and sand discharge corridors are not in operation, the ecological flow discharge hole 18 can be activated alone, and the water flows through the sand flushing corridor main pipe 14 to the energy dissipation pool 17 downstream of the dam.

[0024] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a gate-type hoist 20 is provided on the ecological flow discharge hole 18 to open and close the ecological flow discharge hole 18.
