[0002] As a special design and construction scheme, underwater rock plug blasting is to reserve a certain thickness of rock mass (i.e. rock plug) after the excavation of the water diversion tunnel is completed. After the downstream tunnel is completed, the reserved rock plug is blasted away at one time to connect the water diversion tunnel with the reservoir area. Underwater rock plug blasting has many influencing factors and is at the throat of the entire water diversion project. The success or failure of its blasting determines the success or failure of the entire water diversion project.

This method is a commonly used method at present. Its advantages are: by forming an air cushion chamber at the top of the tunnel, blasting is carried out under the action of the air cushion chamber, and the blasting slag produced by the blasting is contained in the slag collection pit; its disadvantage is that: the air pressure in the air cushion chamber cannot be actively adjusted to increase, and during blasting, some blasting slag will rush out of the slag collection pit and enter the water diversion tunnel section. Utility Model Content

By arranging an air filling port at a position close to the rock plug on the upper side of the inlet section, air can be filled into the slag collecting pit through the air filling port, thereby adjusting the air pressure in the air cushion chamber.

[0018] In the figure:

[0019] Slag collecting pit 10, grouting hole 101, water-stop copper sheet 102, slag collecting section 11, inlet section 12, gradient section 13, slag retaining pier 131, rock plug 20, center line 21, horizontal line 22, inflation port 30, inflation pipe 31, water diversion tunnel section 40, gate shaft 50, conveying pipe 60, plug 61. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3A water intake structure for underwater rock plug blasting includes a slag collection pit 10, wherein the slag collection pit 10 includes a slag collection section 11, an inlet section 12 and a gradient section 13, wherein the inlet section 12 and the gradient section 13 are respectively located at two ends of the slag collection section 11, and a rock plug 20 is provided at one end of the inlet section 12 away from the gradient section 13, and an inflation port 30 is provided on the upper side of the inlet section 12 at a position close to the rock plug 20.

[0022] By setting an inflation port 30 at a position close to the rock plug 20 on the upper side of the inlet section 12, water is injected into the slag collecting pit 10 before the rock plug is blasted. After the water injection is completed, air can be inflated into the slag collecting pit 10 through the inflation port 30 to adjust the air pressure in the air cushion chamber.

[0023] As the air pressure in the air cushion chamber increases, during blasting, the blasting impact into the slag pit 10 will be slowed down, thereby effectively preventing the blasting slag from rushing out of the slag pit and entering the water diversion tunnel section. At the same time, the air cushion chamber also creates dry land conditions for detonation.

[0024] Specifically, the water intake structure also includes a water diversion tunnel section 40 and a gate well 50. An inflation pipe 31 is arranged in the lining of the inlet section 12, the slag gathering section 11, the gradient section 13, the water diversion tunnel section 40 and the gate well 50. One end of the inflation pipe 31 is connected to the inflation port 30, and the other end extends out of the gate well 50.

[0025] A Φ100 PVC inflation pipe is pre-buried on the top of the lining to connect the inflation port 30 with the top platform of the gate well 50. After the water filling is completed, air is inflated into the inlet section 12 through the inflation pipe 31 to form a pressurized air cushion chamber cavity.

[0026] The included angle between the center line 21 of the rock plug 20 and the horizontal line 22 is 40° to 50°, and by controlling the blasting impact direction, the blasting slag enters the slag gathering section 11. In this embodiment, the included angle is preferably 45°.

[0027] See also Figure 1 The bottom of the gradient section 13 is provided with a slag blocking pier 131 at one end away from the inlet section 12, further preventing blasting slag from entering the water diversion tunnel section 40. It can also be used to block mud and sand during later operation.

[0028] See also Figure 3 At least one grouting hole 101 is provided on the top of the lining of the slag collection pit 10. It is convenient to grout and fill the space between the outer wall of the slag collection pit 10 and the rock mass through the grouting hole 101 to prevent water from entering the outer wall of the slag collection pit 10 and causing water gushing accidents after the rock plug 20 is blasted.

[0029] Since the slag collecting pit 10 is cast in sections, in order to prevent leakage at the joints, water-stopping copper sheets 102 are installed between the slag collecting section 11 and the inlet section 12 , and between the slag collecting section 11 and the gradient section 13 .

[0030] See also Figure 1 In order to prevent the valve in the gate well 50 from being damaged during blasting, a plug 61 is provided in the delivery pipe 60 during rock plug blasting. The delivery pipe 60 is closed by the plug 61. The plug 61 is cast with concrete. After the blasting is completed, the valve in the gate well 50 is closed, the water in the delivery pipe 60 is pumped out, and the plug 61 is removed.

[0031] In a water diversion project, the water intake tunnel from the inlet control gate to the upstream is the gate well 50, the diversion tunnel section 40, the slag pit 10 and the rock plug. The gate well 50 has a rectangular excavation section of 6.6m×11m (width×length) and a depth of 85m; the diversion tunnel section 40 is a semicircular gate hole, 132.6m long, with a typical excavation section of 5.4m×6.1m (width×height), and a lining section of 4.0m×4.0m (width×height). The slag pit 10 is a semicircular gate hole type, with a typical excavation section of 7.0m×14.0m (width×height), a lining section of 4.8m×12.0m (width×height), and a length of 38.7m. The diversion tunnel section 40 enters from the gate well 50, with a length of 132.6m, including a horizontal section of 11m, an inclined section of 121.6m, and a bottom slope of 7%.

[0032] According to the topographic and geological conditions of the slope at the rock plug, and considering that the blasting slag of the rock plug body and the rocks dropped during operation can flow smoothly down to the slag gathering section 11, the angle between the center line of the rock plug and the horizontal line 22 is determined to be 45°.

[0033] In this embodiment, the slope of the bottom of the inlet section 12 is 1:0.5, and the slope of the top of the inlet section 12 is 1:1.16.

[0034] The working principle or action process of the utility model is as follows:

[0035] Before the rock plug is blasted, water is filled into the slag collecting pit 10, and an air compressor is connected to the inflation pipe 31. A valve is also provided on the inflation pipe 31. The valve is opened and air is inflated into the slag collecting pit 10 through the air compressor to form a pressurized air cushion chamber (air bag) between the bottom of the rock plug and the slag collecting pit. When the rock plug is blasted, the bottom of the rock plug is separated from the downstream water body. During blasting, the pressurized air cushion chamber can slow down the blasting impact into the slag collecting pit 10, thereby effectively preventing the blasting slag from rushing out of the slag collecting pit and entering the water diversion tunnel section.
