[0035] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0036] First see Figure 1 , Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a dam including an ecological flow discharge structure according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the dam including the ecological flow discharge structure can be a reinforced concrete sluice dam or a gravity dam. A single or multi-hole overflow gate hole is set in the middle of the dam body 1, and the two sides of the dam body 1 are preferably reinforced concrete non-overflow dam sections, which are cast in layers using conventional methods. The slope support 22 is the slope protection after the excavation of the slope of the dam body 1, and preferably uses a hanging mesh anchor spraying support to prevent the slope from collapsing and rainwater erosion.
[0037] Based on the principles of reducing construction interference, facilitating installation, and ensuring convenient and safe subsequent operation and management, the above-mentioned ecological flow discharge structure is set in the non-overflow dam section on one side of the above-mentioned middle sluice dam section.
[0038] See next Figure 2 And continue to read Figure 1 , Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the ecological flow discharge structure of the utility model. Figure 2As shown, the above ecological flow discharge structure may include a pipeline inlet section, a buried pipe section 2, a control room 7, a pipeline outlet section 12, an open channel section 13 and a sinkhole 17 which are connected in sequence.
[0039] The left end of the above pipeline inlet section ( Figure 2 The pipe inlet section is trumpet-shaped and includes a pipe mouth 5, a gradient section 4 and a flange 3 connected in sequence. Trash screen bars can be set in the pipe mouth 5 to block the driftwood, branches, weeds and other solid debris carried by the water flow to avoid pipe blockage. The above-mentioned pipe inlet section can extend 50cm from the upstream vertical surface of the dam body 1. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments according to actual conditions. During installation, the flange 3, the gradient section 4 and the pipe mouth 5 are pre-installed as a whole, and then connected to the buried pipe section 2 through the flange 3.
[0040] The pipeline of buried pipe section 2 can be cast and buried inside the dam body 1, adjacent to the middle gate hole dam section. Figure 2 Two water stop rings 6 with an interval of 20 cm are welded in the pipeline ring 30 cm away from the upstream vertical surface of the dam body 1. The water stop ring 6 can be made of a steel plate with a thickness of 3 mm and a radial width of 25 cm. The pipeline of the buried pipe section 2 and the two water stop rings 6 are cast in the concrete of the dam body 1 to ensure that it is dense and has no cavity, and to prevent the formation of leakage channels along the pipe wall. It should be noted that the specifications and quantity of the above-mentioned water stop rings 6 are not unique, and those skilled in the art can adjust them according to actual conditions.
[0041] According to the size of the downstream ecological flow (2m3 / s), normal water storage level, pipeline layout length and water flow resistance, the pipeline installation elevation and pipeline diameter of buried pipe section 2 are determined through hydraulic calculation.
[0042] When the lower layer of concrete is poured to a height of 50 cm from the bottom elevation of the pipeline installation of the buried pipe section 2, the auxiliary support frame 20 is first installed on the concrete surface using ф25 steel bars, and the auxiliary support frame 20 is set at an axial spacing of 1.2 m along the pipeline of the buried pipe section 2. The ф25 steel bars are anchored 50 cm into the lower layer of concrete to ensure the stability of the auxiliary support frame 20, and the pipeline of the buried pipe section 2 is installed on the auxiliary support frame 20.
[0043] When pouring the concrete of the dam body 1 on the downstream side of the buried pipe section 2, the foundation platform of the control room 7 is poured at the same time, and finally the reinforced concrete pier 21 is poured on the foundation platform. A valve group and a flow meter are arranged on the pipeline in the control room 7 to control and collect the downstream flow. The above-mentioned valve group can be an electric and / or manual butterfly valve 8 and a cone valve 9. The above-mentioned flow meter can be an electromagnetic flow meter 10. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual conditions. In order to facilitate the hoisting and installation of the equipment in the control room 7, it is preferred that the butterfly valve 8, cone valve 9, electromagnetic flow meter 10 and pipeline connection in the control room 7 are completed before the construction of the house outside the control room 7 is carried out. Furthermore, a set of photovoltaic panels 11 is installed on the roof of the control room 7 building to continuously provide energy-saving and environmentally friendly green power for the electromagnetic flow meter 10 or the electric valve group.
[0044] A pipeline outlet section 12 is connected outside the control room 7 , and the water outlet of the pipeline outlet section 12 is made into a 120° elbow shape so that the water flow is concentrated into the open channel section 13 .
[0045] It should be noted that the buried pipe section 2 and the pipes in the control room 7 can be made of seamless steel pipes, which are treated with anti-corrosion before installation to increase the service life of the pipes and improve the reliability of the ecological flow discharge structure.
[0046] See next Figure 3 And continue to read Figure 1 , Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the ecological flow discharge structure of the utility model. Figure 3 and Figure 1 As shown, a drainage ditch 19 is set at the foot of the slope on the downstream side of the dam body 1 in the control room 7 area. Rainwater collected on the slope support 22 in the rainy season is collected in the open channel section 13 through the drainage ditch 19 and discharged into the river together with the raw flow.
[0047] From the perspective of neat and beautiful wall and functional coordination of the flood discharge gate guide wall 14, a water well 17 connected to the open channel section 13 and a buried water outlet 18 connected to the water well 17 are arranged at the rear of the open channel section 13, and the buried water outlet 18 is also connected to the slope apron of the dam body 1. The downstream ecological flow is collected into the slope apron 23 and the river channel through the water well 17 and the buried water outlet 18.
[0048] By combining the flood discharge gate guide wall 14 and the slope retaining wall 15 and casting them as a whole, the walls on both sides of the open channel section 13 are formed, which saves engineering workload, reduces engineering cost and shortens construction period.
[0049] Protective railings 16 and protective nets are arranged around the walls on both sides of the open channel section 13 and the downspout 17 to ensure the safety of the operating personnel.
[0050] The preferred open channel section 13 and the sinkhole section 17 of the present invention combine the functions of "ecological water diversion", "dam slope drainage", "guide wall and retaining wall" to achieve "one channel for multiple uses". By combining the flood discharge gate guide wall 14 with the slope retaining wall 15 and casting them as a whole, the engineering workload is saved, the engineering cost is reduced, and the construction period is shortened.
[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
