Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of tunnels, in particular to a tunnel opening structure. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as highway construction has extended from plains, hills and low mountainous areas to medium and high mountainous areas with high altitudes. According to statistics, there are more and more tunnels in high-altitude areas, and many tunnels with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters have appeared. These tunnels are located in plateau areas with high sunlight intensity, especially for tunnels with the axis of the tunnel running in the north-west direction, where the daily sunlight exposure time is long. In addition, these tunnels are built in high-altitude areas, resulting in a significant increase in the length of a single tunnel and the total scale of the tunnel, and there are more and more super-long tunnels. The large scale of the tunnel has led to an increase in lighting operation costs. The huge energy consumption in operation has led to the problem of "affording to build but not being able to maintain" in the tunnel. In order to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction, wind power generation has been adopted in tunnels. However, the installation of wind power generation equipment in tunnels has the problem of occupying the clear space of the tunnel. Utility Model Content

[0013] Figure 3 for Figure 2 AA section view;

[0014] Figure 4 The utility model is a schematic diagram of the tunnel portal end wall decoration disclosed by the utility model.

[0015] In the figure, there are the portal end wall 1, the wall body 1A, the photovoltaic tiles 1B, the backfill layer 2, the photovoltaic panels 3, and the support rods 4. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0017] In the traditional tunnel entrance structure, vegetation is usually planted on the surface of the backfill layer 2 behind the end wall 1 of the open tunnel. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a solar module is laid on the backfill layer 2, and the solar module includes several photovoltaic panels 3, and the photovoltaic panels 3 cover the backfill layer 2, which means that the photovoltaic panels 3 are evenly distributed on the backfill layer 2, and the surface of the backfill layer 2 is covered by the photovoltaic panels 3, and most of the surface of the backfill layer 2 cannot be exposed to sunlight. Photovoltaic panel 3 is a power generation device that generates direct current when exposed to sunlight. By covering the backfill layer 2 with photovoltaic panels 3, the photovoltaic panels 3 are continuously exposed to sunlight, and the abundant solar energy on the plateau can be fully utilized to generate photovoltaic power, which can be used for lighting electricity in the tunnel entrance section and buildings outside the tunnel. Solar energy is a clean energy, which achieves energy saving and consumption reduction in tunnels and realizes green and smart transportation.

[0018] The photovoltaic panel 3 can be directly laid on the surface of the backfill layer 2. In the present invention, the photovoltaic panel 3 is fixed to the backfill layer 2 via the support rod 4. In this way, the photovoltaic panel 3 is at a certain distance from the surface of the backfill layer 2, which can avoid the problem of water accumulation and washing away the photovoltaic panel 3 in rainy weather, and it is also convenient to adjust the installation angle of the photovoltaic panel 3 as needed to better receive solar energy.

[0019] The photovoltaic panel 3 can be installed horizontally, but in order to better receive solar energy, the photovoltaic panel 3 is set to be tilted downward from the side adjacent to the slope to the side adjacent to the tunnel end wall 1 along the longitudinal direction of the tunnel. Since the slope and the trees on the slope will block the sunlight to a certain extent, the side adjacent to the slope is likely to receive a shorter duration of light and a weaker intensity of light. In order to maximize the photovoltaic power generation capacity of the photovoltaic panel 3, the photovoltaic panel 3 is arranged to be inclined to the side of the tunnel end wall 1, so that a larger area of ​​the photovoltaic panel 3 is exposed to sunlight for a longer time, and solar energy can be better utilized for power generation.

[0020] In order to save costs, the orthographic projections of each photovoltaic panel 3 on the surface of the backfill layer 2 are independent of each other. The orthographic projections of the photovoltaic panels 3 on the surface of the backfill layer 2 are independent of each other, which means that there is no overlap between the orthographic projections of each photovoltaic panel 3 on the surface of the backfill layer 2, and the photovoltaic panels 3 do not block each other, thereby ensuring the maximum utilization rate of each photovoltaic panel 3.

[0021] In order to facilitate the installation of the photovoltaic panels 3 and fully utilize solar energy, preferably, there is a spacing between two adjacent photovoltaic panels 3, and the spacing is less than or equal to 1 / 8 of the width of the photovoltaic panels 3.

[0022] In the tunnel portal structure, in addition to the portal section being exposed to the sun, the portal end wall 1 is also continuously exposed to the sun. In order to further make full use of solar energy, it is preferred that Figure 4 As shown, the portal end wall 1 includes a wall body 1A and a roof on the top of the wall body 1A for covering the wall body 1A, and the roof is covered by photovoltaic tiles 1B.

[0023] Photovoltaic tile 1B refers to the photovoltaic module unit, which is encapsulated into the tile by gluing and pressing, giving the building material the property of photovoltaic power generation. It is a manifestation of the integration of photovoltaic building materials. Photovoltaic tile 1B can generate photovoltaic power and also meets the basic properties of traditional tiles, that is, it has rainproof, windproof and heat-insulating properties, and also has the additional properties of photovoltaics, such as clean energy, easy installation, light weight, safety, durability, heat insulation and aesthetics.

[0024] The photovoltaic tiles 1B are used to build the roof, which can protect the wall 1A of the portal end wall 1. HIA enables the roof of the portal end wall 1 to have photovoltaic power generation performance, improves the ability of the tunnel entrance structure to fully utilize solar energy, provides more clean electricity for tunnel operation, and provides energy-saving and carbon-reduction capabilities.
