Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pumped storage power station engineering, and in particular relates to a combined structural type of water inlet / outlet buildings used in loess strata. Background Art

[0002] The inlet / outlet of a pumped storage power station is an engineering facility built in the upper and lower reservoirs to control water flow. Its function is to reasonably allocate the power generation or pumping water volume of the hydraulic units according to the load requirements of the power system to ensure the safe and economical operation of the power station. Since a pumped storage power station has two operating conditions, pumping (water pump condition) and power generation (turbine condition), the water flow is bidirectional. The inlet and outlet of a pumped storage power station are combined into one. The upper reservoir is the inlet in the power generation condition and the outlet in the pumping condition, and vice versa, so they are collectively referred to as inlets / outlets.

[0003] The inlet / outlet buildings of pumped storage power stations must adapt to the hydraulic conditions of two-way water flow as well as the characteristics of frequent and large fluctuations in water levels. Usually, a combination of vertical inlet / outlet + gate wells is adopted, which has flexible layout and relatively low requirements for terrain and geological conditions. The excavation volume is small, the structure is generally circular in cross-section, the head loss is small, the structure is simple in force, which is conducive to engineering construction and structural safety, and can better solve the problem of inlet / outlet crossing the dam.

[0004] At present, common shaft-type inlet / outlet structures are such as patent announcement number CN103205954A, which discloses a shaft-type inlet / outlet structure for a pumped-storage power station. The flow channel formed between the diverter piers is used for both water inlet and water outlet conditions. Since the diverter piers are fixed, the structure of the flow channel can only be fixed. For water outlet or water inlet, if the flow channel gradually increases along the direction of water flow, the water flow velocity can be effectively alleviated, thereby reducing the mechanical energy lost by internal collision of the water flow and collision between the water flow and the flow channel. However, the fixed flow channel structure is bound to make it impossible for one of the water outlet or water inlet to achieve the gradual increase of the flow channel along the direction of water flow. The head loss of the inlet and outlet of this structure will be relatively large.

[0005] Although there are well-type water inlet and outlet buildings for pumped-storage power stations such as the one disclosed in patent announcement number CN206736873U, which respectively realize the water discharge and water inlet conditions by setting an upper diverter plate and a lower inlet plate, the integral structure of the two plates is large in volume and inconvenient to install. In addition, after the two plates are stacked, the upper and lower flow channels also overlap. Although the electromagnetic valve of the flow channel can be opened and closed to realize the opening and closing of the flow channel, even so, the closed flow channel will also affect the open flow channel, causing the water flow through the open flow channel to be turbulent and swirling, and finally causing unnecessary head loss. In addition, the patent, such as the electromagnetic valve, the upper and lower plate welding form, shows that the scheme is only applicable to small well-type water inlets and outlets, and is not applicable to large well-type water inlets and outlets used in pumped-storage power stations.

[0006] In addition, for the geological conditions of thick loess, if a vertical inlet / outlet + gate well type is adopted, about 3 / 4 of the height of the gate well will be in the loess layer and in the open air, and there will be risks in the completion of the gate well, its own stability and structural safety.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The content of the present invention can be further understood in conjunction with the following detailed description of the preferred implementation method of the present invention and the included embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by ordinary technicians in the field to which the present invention belongs. If the definition of a specific term disclosed in the prior art is inconsistent with any definition provided in the present invention, the definition of the term provided in the present invention shall prevail.

[0034] In a typical implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , a combined structural type of an inlet / outlet building for a loess stratum, that is, an inlet / outlet building arranged in an upper reservoir 1, wherein the strata at the bottom of the upper reservoir 1 and the inlet / outlet building are, from bottom to top, a rock stratum 9 and a loess stratum, specifically, the inlet / outlet building comprises a side inlet / outlet 2, an emergency gate tower 3 and a water diversion shaft 10, wherein the side inlet / outlet 2 is arranged on the downstream side of the upper reservoir 1, the emergency gate tower 3 is built on the loess stratum and is connected to the side inlet / outlet 2, one end of the water diversion shaft 10 is connected to the emergency gate tower 3, and the other end serves as the starting end of a water delivery pipeline; it is worth mentioning that a support body is provided at the bottom of the emergency gate tower 3, wherein the support body passes through the loess stratum and is embedded in the rock stratum 9.

[0035] In a specific embodiment, the side inlet / outlet includes an inlet / outlet straight section and an inlet / outlet diffusion section, the inlet / outlet straight section is arranged on a side close to the upper reservoir 1, the inlet / outlet diffusion section is behind the outlet straight section, the large diameter end of the inlet / outlet diffusion section is connected to the inlet / outlet straight section, and the small diameter end of the inlet / outlet diffusion section is connected to the accident gate tower 3.

[0036] It should be further explained that the loess layer is divided into Q3 Malan loess layer 6, Q2 Lishi loess layer 7 and Q1 Wucheng loess layer 8 from top to bottom, the bottom of the accident gate tower 3 is 35~50m thick from the Q2 Lishi loess layer 7, and the concrete bored piles 5 pass through the Q2 Lishi loess layer 7 and Q1 Wucheng loess layer 8 from top to bottom and are embedded in the rock layer 9.

[0037] In the utility model, the upper reservoir 1 is limited by special topographic and geological conditions, and the inlet / outlet structure is located on the loess layer. From top to bottom, the loess is divided into Q3 Malan loess layer 6, Q2 Lishi loess layer 7 and Q1 Wucheng loess layer 8, with a total thickness of about 60m. Among them, the Q1 Wucheng loess layer does not have collapsibility, the upper soil layer of the Q2 Lishi loess layer has collapsibility, and the Q3 Malan loess layer has collapsibility.

The pile diameter of the concrete pile 5 is ∅90-110 cm, the length of each concrete pile 5 is 50-70 m, and the distance between adjacent concrete piles 5 is 2-4 m.
