Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hydropower generation, and in particular relates to a medium and low water head and large flow hydropower generation diversion system and structure. Background Art
[0002] Up to now, the development of hydropower generation technology has adopted the finite element vortex shell method for both high-head and medium-head diversion technologies, while the cross-flow type is generally used for low-head, which has been basically eliminated due to its low work efficiency and small power generation. The development and utilization of the head height of hydropower generation is mainly determined by factors such as terrain and flow. my country is a country with abundant hydropower resources, with a theoretical installed capacity of 690 million Kw. After the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, many large-scale high-head power stations have been built in recent decades, with an installed capacity of nearly 400 million Kw. However, due to resource constraints, it can be said that there are very few high-head power stations that can be built. If we continue to stick to the high-head concept, we can only do nothing. Most of the high-head power stations that have been built are located upstream of larger water systems. The construction of many high dams and large-capacity power stations has provided a more stable water flow and a relatively large flow for the construction of medium-head power stations and low-head power stations behind the dams. However, this does not mean that the utilization rate of water energy will increase accordingly. Although Gezhouba is the first example of low head and large flow in China, it now seems that if we still stay at this foreign technology from half a century ago, it will still be unsatisfactory for the more than 200 million kilowatts of medium and low heads that have yet to be developed. In addition, hydropower projects require large investments, long construction periods, and long service lives. Once built, they are difficult to improve. Blind adoption may leave regrets for future generations, and pumped-storage power stations are incomparable to medium and low head stations.
[0003] How to improve the efficiency of power generation at medium and low heads? One of the key issues is how to improve the diversion system and give full play to the technical advantage that large flow rates can more effectively improve water energy utilization and power generation than small flow rates. Therefore, a medium and low head large flow hydropower diversion system and structure should be provided to improve the power generation efficiency of medium and low heads. Utility Model Content

The system has a simple structure and a reasonable design. The water flows through two water inlet pipes and enters two finite element special-shaped volutes at the same time. Under the action of the special-shaped diversion structures of the two finite element special-shaped volutes, the direction of the water flow can be changed, and the water flow direction can be made parallel to the working interface of the moving blades of the turbine or the angle between the water flow direction and the working interface of the moving blades of the turbine can be optimized, thereby improving the water energy working efficiency.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:
[0008] 1. Two interlocking finite element shaped volutes are provided, and water inlet pipes are connected to the two finite element shaped volutes.

The utility model arranges a vortex guide funnel at the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe, connects at least two water inlets on the side wall of the vortex guide funnel, and at least the two water inlets are tangent to the side wall of the vortex guide funnel. In actual use, water flows into the vortex guide funnel through the at least two water inlets and forms a vortex in the horizontal plane of the vortex guide funnel, which can increase the vortex acceleration of the water flow.
