Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water supply and drainage engineering, and in particular to a shore connection device. Background Art
[0002] The working principle of the water intake pontoon is to use the water pump installed on the boat to pump water from the river, lake or reservoir and then transport it to the shore through the water pipeline. Since the water level of the river, lake and lake changes throughout the year, the water pipeline between the pontoon and the shore is usually connected in the following ways: one is to connect the water outlet side of the pumping pontoon pipeline with the shore-based pipeline with a flexible pipeline such as PVC ((Polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride), which is placed on the water surface and floats freely, and personnel use work boats to get on and off the pontoon; the second is to connect the water outlet side of the pumping pontoon pipeline with the shore-based pipeline with a pure steel pipeline, and a steel trestle is attached to the pipeline for personnel to travel, and the steel pipeline and the trestle are an integrated structure.
[0003] However, the above connection methods all have the following defects: For the flexible floating PVC pipe device, the disadvantage is that the pipe strength is low and it is easy to be damaged by the impact of water flow, causing structural or functional damage, and personnel need to use a work boat to go to and from the pontoon, which makes the maintenance process inconvenient. For the integrated steel pipe and pier structure, the disadvantage is that its structural design strength (the weight of the entire pipe) is easily increased by the span, and when the strength of the entire pipe and pier increases, the weight of the steel will increase, which will eventually cause the positive pressure on one side of the pontoon to be too large, thereby affecting the floating state of the pontoon. Utility Model Content
[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a shore connection device, which can ensure the stability of water supply from the pontoon to the shore side during water level fluctuations. Moreover, since the weight of each section of the multi-section water pipe and the multi-section pier is relatively small, the positive pressure on the pontoon side is relatively small, thereby ensuring that the pontoon is in a positive floating state under low ballast or no ballast state, so as to ensure the normal operation of water supply to the shore side.

[0038] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a top view of the shore connection device provided according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2It is a side structural schematic diagram of a shore connection device provided according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a shore connection device, which is mainly used for pipeline connection between a pontoon 100 and a shore base 500. The shore connection device may include a load-bearing pontoon 300, a multi-section water pipe 200 and a multi-section pier 400.
[0040] The carrying pontoon 300 is arranged between the pontoon 100 and the shore 500; the multiple sections of water pipes 200 are arranged in sequence between the pontoon 100 and the shore 500; among them, the first section of the water pipe 200 is movably arranged between the pontoon 100 and the carrying pontoon 300, and the tail section of the water pipe 200 is movably arranged between the carrying pontoon 300 and the shore 500; the multiple sections of the pier 400 are arranged one by one with the multiple sections of the water pipes 200, and can move synchronously with the water pipes 200.
[0041] It can be understood that in this example, multiple sections of water pipes 200 and piers 400 are arranged between the pontoon 100 and the shore base 500, and each section of the water pipe 200 can be rotatably connected to the corresponding pontoon 100, the carrying pontoon 300 or the shore base 500 below it through a rotatable joint 600, etc., so that it can adapt to changes in water level to ensure the stability of the water volume and water pressure of the main pipeline supplied from the pontoon 100 to the shore base 500.
[0042] In this example, two sections of water pipes 200, three sections of water pipes 200 or more sections of water pipes 200 can be set according to the length between the pontoon 100 and the shore base 500. If three sections of water pipes 200 are set, they can be named as the first section of water pipe 200 (the first section of water pipe 200), the second section of water pipe 200 and the third section of water pipe 200 (the last section of water pipe 200) in sequence from the pontoon 100 to the shore base 500. Then, two corresponding carrying pontoons 300 need to be provided to respectively carry the opposite ends of the first section of water pipe 200 and the second section of water pipe 200, and the opposite ends of the second section of water pipe 200 and the third section of water pipe 200.
[0043] The number of piers 400 corresponds to the number of water pipes 200, and can keep moving synchronously with the water pipes 200. The piers 400 may include plates and guardrails. The piers 400 are mainly used for workers to walk between the shore base 500 and the pontoon 100 and to maintain and operate equipment, thereby reducing or avoiding the use of work boats and saving costs. In addition, by introducing the bearing pontoon 300, the span of the multi-section water pipes 200 and the multi-section piers 400 can be relatively reduced, that is, the structural strength of the water pipes 200 and the piers 400 can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of steel used in the entire shore connection device, which can effectively reduce costs.
[0044] In the embodiment of the present application, a multi-section water pipe 200 and a multi-section pier 400 are arranged on the pontoon 100 and the shore base 500 sides, and corresponding load-bearing pontoons are provided so that the multi-section water pipe 200 can be adaptively adjusted, thereby ensuring the stability of water delivery from the pontoon 100 to the shore base 500 side during water level fluctuations; in addition, since the weight of each section of the multi-section water pipe 200 and the multi-section pier 400 is relatively small, the positive pressure on the pontoon 100 side is relatively small, thereby ensuring that the pontoon 100 is in a positive floating state under low ballast or no ballast state, so as to ensure the normal operation of water delivery to the shore base 500 side.
[0045] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the shore connection device further includes a support platform 700 , which is disposed in the water between the pontoon 100 and the shore base 500 , and is disposed corresponding to the carrying pontoon 300 , for supporting the carrying pontoon 300 .
[0046] It is understandable that in order to prevent one of the multiple sections of the water pipe 200 from rotating too much, a support platform 700 is further provided between the pontoon 100 and the shore base 500. The number of the support platforms 700 corresponds to the number of the pontoons 300, and the pontoons 300 can be supported when the water level is low. In one example, the height of the support platform 700 is between the highest water level and the lowest water level.
[0047] Specifically, the pontoon 100 is generally set in a river, lake or reservoir to transport water to the shore 500. The water level will change with the change of seasons, and the height of the supporting platform 700 set between the pontoon 100 and the shore 500 is between the highest water level and the lowest water level. The specific height can be set according to the average water level throughout the year, or a certain water level value maintained for a longer period of time, and no specific limitation is made here. When the water level is lower than the height of the supporting platform 700, the bearing pontoon 300 is located above the supporting platform 700, that is, the bearing pontoon 300 does not float on the water surface at this time, then the water pipe 200 connecting the bearing pontoon 300 and the shore 500 side will be relatively static, and the water pipe 200 connecting the pontoon 100 and the bearing pontoon 300 will deflect with the height of the water surface (that is, the multiple sections of the water pipe 200 from the shore 500 side to the pontoon 100 are arranged in a step-like manner, and the deflection angle of a certain section of the water pipe 200 will not be too large). Since the weight of a section of the water pipe 200 and its corresponding pier 400 is relatively light, it will not cause a large ballast to the pontoon 100 and cause the pontoon 100 to tilt, and the water flow stability of the entire shore connection device can be ensured. This arrangement can also ensure the structural stability of the shore connection device and is not easy to be damaged.
[0048] When the water level is higher than the supporting platform 700, the pontoon 300 will float with the water surface. As the water level rises and approaches the height of the shore base 500, the deflection angles of each section of the water pipe 200 are relatively small, so that the entire shore connection device can float on the water surface. While ensuring the stability of water flow to the shore base 500 side, it will not cause excessive pressure on the pontoon 100 side, thereby ensuring the upright floating state of the pontoon 100.
[0049] In some embodiments, the shore connection device also includes a rotatable joint 600; the water pipe 200 is connected to the pontoon 100 via a rotatable joint 600; the water pipe 200 is connected to the carrying pontoon 300 via a rotatable joint 600; the water pipe 200 is connected to the main pipeline on the shore side 500 via a rotatable joint 600.
[0050] It can be understood that in order to ensure that the multi-section water pipe 200 and the multi-section pier 400 can adaptively adjust the water flow stability of the entire shore connection device and ensure the structural stability of the entire device, the water pipe 200 and the pontoon 100, the carrying pontoon 300 and the main water pipe on the shore side 500 can be connected through a rotatable joint 600. In one example, the rotatable joint 600 includes at least one of a rocker joint and a universal joint.
[0051] Specifically, the selection of the rotatable joint 600 can be selected according to the rotation angle of the water pipe 200 setting position. For example, the rotation range of the water pipe 200 between the pontoon 100 and the carrying pontoon 300 is relatively large. A rocker joint can be set at the connection between the water pipe 200 and the pontoon 100, and at the connection between the water pipe 200 and the carrying pontoon 300. A universal joint such as a spherical universal joint can be set between the water pipe 200 and the main water pipe on the shore side 500. No specific limitation is made here.
[0052] In some embodiments, the multi-section water pipe 200 includes a first water pipe 210 and a second water pipe 220, one end of the first water pipe 210 is connected to the pontoon 100 through a rocker joint, and the other end is connected to the carrying pontoon 300 through a rocker joint; one end of the second water pipe 220 is connected to the carrying pontoon 300 through a rocker joint, and the other end is connected to the main pipe on the shore side 500 through a universal joint.
[0053] It can be understood that in order to reduce the difficulty of construction, this example provides two sections of water pipes 200, namely a first water pipe 210 and a second water pipe 220. The two sections of water pipes 200 are connected by a bearing pontoon 300, and only one supporting platform 700 (concrete pillar) corresponding to the bearing pontoon 300 needs to be set in the water.
[0054] When the water level is lower than the height of the supporting platform 700, the deflection angle of the first water pipe 210 is relatively large. Therefore, the first water pipe 210 is connected to the pipeline in the pontoon 100 by a rocker joint. Similarly, the first water pipe 210 is connected to the supporting pontoon 300 by a rocker joint. For the connection between the second water pipe 220 with a small deflection angle and the main pipeline on the shore base 500 side, a spherical universal joint can be used, but there is no specific restriction.
[0055] In some embodiments, the first water pipe 210 has the same length as the second water pipe 220. Specifically, to facilitate production, processing, and installation, the length of the first water pipe 210 can be the same as the length of the second water pipe 220, but the specific length needs to be set according to actual working conditions and is not limited here.
[0056] In some embodiments, the multi-section pier 400 includes a first pier 410 and a second pier 420 , the first pier 410 corresponds to the first water pipe 210 , and the second pier 420 corresponds to the second water pipe 220 ; the first pier 410 is fixedly connected to the first water pipe 210 , and the second pier 420 is fixedly connected to the second water pipe 220 .
[0057] It is understandable that the first pier 410 and the second pier 420 can be fixed above the corresponding water pipe 200. As the water pipe deflects, the fixed connection between the pier 400 and the water pipe 200 can be welded or bolted, which is not limited here.
[0058] Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned connection method of the pier 400, in another example, the ends of the first pier 410 are rotatably connected to the pontoon 100 and the carrying pontoon 300 respectively, and the ends of the second pier 420 are rotatably connected to the carrying pontoon 300 and the shore base 500 respectively.
[0059] Specifically, both ends of the pier 400 can also be set on the side of the pontoon 100, the carrying pontoon 300 or the shore 500 through corresponding rotation via a rotating shaft, etc., so that the angle changes with the rise or fall of the carrying pontoon 300 and the pontoon 100, and can move synchronously with the water pipe 200, thereby providing a passage for personnel to walk, repair and operate equipment, without the need for additional work boats to travel between the pontoon 100 and the shore 500, thereby saving costs.
[0060] In addition, since the water pipe 200 and the pier 400 are arranged in sections between the pontoon 100 and the shore base 500, the span of each section of the water pipe 200 and the pier 400 is smaller, that is, they can be manufactured using materials with lower strength and lighter weight. This can not only reduce the unilateral pressure on the pontoon 100 and ensure that the pontoon 100 is in an upright floating state, but also ensure that the volume required for the pontoon 100 in the upright floating state is not too large, thereby saving manufacturing materials for the pontoon 100 and ultimately reducing costs.
[0061] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, when the water level is between the lowest water level and the top surface of the supporting platform 700, the supporting pontoon 300 is located on the top surface of the supporting platform 700, and the second water pipe 220 is relatively fixed; when the water level is higher than the top surface of the supporting platform 700, the supporting pontoon 300 floats on the water surface, and the first water pipe 210 is relatively fixed.
[0062] Specifically, if the highest water level is 1225m and the lowest water level is 1212m, the design height (usually referring to the altitude) of the support platform 700 can be 1219m, and the height of the shore base 500 can be 1225m, or slightly higher than 1225m. When the water level is lower than the height of the support platform 700, the pontoon 300 is supported by the support platform 700 and does not float on the water surface. At this time, the second water pipe 220 has a certain inclination, but remains relatively still. The first water pipe 210 deflects with the rise or fall of the pontoon 100. Since the second water pipe 220 has deflected by a preset angle, the maximum deflection angle of the first water pipe 210 is not too large, thereby ensuring that the structure of the entire shore connection device is not easily damaged. Similarly, when the water level exceeds the height of the supporting platform 700, the carrying pontoon 300 floats on the water surface, and the first water pipe 210 connecting the carrying pontoon 300 and the pontoon 100 is flush with the water surface, and only the second water pipe 220 is deflected at an angle. However, since the water level is close to the height of the shore base 500 at this time, the deflection angle of the second water pipe 220 will not be too large, and will not cause damage to the entire shore connection device.
[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the present application, rather than to limit the present application. Although the present application is described in detail with reference to the embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present application do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application, and should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
