Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of bridge protection engineering, and particularly relates to a permeable flow guiding device for preventing scour of bridge pier foundations. Background Technique

[0002] In recent years, bridge disasters caused by foundation scour have occurred frequently. Scour has become an important reason threatening the safety of water-crossing bridges. Therefore, how to safely protect the local scour of bridge piers has always been a key research point. In the dynamic action of water flow, bridge scour is affected by many factors such as the form of foundation structure, water flow characteristics, and sediment movement in the riverbed. Bridge scour protection measures are divided into active protection and passive protection according to the mechanism. Among them, active protection is to change the water flow structure around the pier, reduce the water flow velocity and the intensity of the turbulent flow field around the pier, aiming to change the hydraulic characteristics of the incoming flow, such as expanding the pile foundation, opening slits in the bridge pier, ring-wing type retaining rings, and sacrificial piles arranged upstream of the bridge pier; passive protection refers to laying some solid materials to enhance the anti-scour ability of the sand bed around the pier to resist the impact of the incoming flow on the sand bed around the pier, aiming to enhance the anti-scour ability of the riverbed around the bridge pier, so as to avoid the scour caused by the downward flow and turbulent flow scouring the sand bed around the pier, such as laying granular protection materials around the bridge pier foundation to form a protective layer and riprap protection, etc.

[0003] Although the traditional protection device for local scour of bridge piers can play a role in preventing scour of bridge piers to some extent, it has great limitations, specifically manifested as follows: Generally, the scour protection device adopts a baffle structure and is set in front of the bridge pier. Although the baffle structure can weaken the local scour of the water flow on the bridge pier, after the water flow bypasses the baffle structure, it is very difficult to slow down the water flow velocity, and it will change the water flow direction and velocity, thus forming a new scour hot spot and causing a new impact on other parts of the bridge pier, resulting in damage to the bridge pier structure.

[0004] It can be seen that the existing scour protection device using a baffle structure, due to its inability to slow down the water flow velocity and its ability to change the water flow direction and velocity, forms a new scour hot spot and causes a new impact on other parts of the bridge pier. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the above technical defects, the utility model provides a permeable flow guiding device for preventing scour of bridge pier foundations, which can solve the technical problem that the existing scour protection device using a baffle structure, due to its inability to slow down the water flow velocity and its ability to change the water flow direction and velocity, forms a new scour hot spot and causes a new impact on other parts of the bridge pier.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical content:

[0009] On two side surfaces of the side of the V-shaped structure close to the pier body, water-permeable diversion plates are respectively arranged, and the water-permeable diversion plates are fixedly connected to the fixed piles;

[0010] The water-permeable diversion plates are provided with a plurality of water-permeable holes.

[0043] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings:

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] Combined with what is mentioned in the background technology, although the traditional protection device for local scour of bridge piers can play a certain role in preventing scour of bridge piers, it has great limitations, specifically manifested as follows: Generally, the anti-scour device adopts a baffle structure and is set in front of the bridge pier. Although the baffle structure can weaken the local scour of the water flow on the bridge pier, after the water flow bypasses the baffle structure, it is very difficult to slow down the water flow speed, and it will change the water flow direction and speed, thus forming a new scour hot spot and causing a new impact on other parts of the bridge pier, resulting in damage to the bridge pier structure.

[0046] To solve the above problems, this embodiment provides a permeable diversion device for preventing scour of pier foundations. Using this diversion device can effectively reduce the damage caused by water flow to the pier structure. It not only has a simple structure, a wide application range, convenient construction materials, and low cost, but also can well solve the problem of difficult later maintenance and can effectively weaken the local scour of the pier foundation.

[0047] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a permeable diversion device for preventing scour of pier foundations.

[0048] A plurality of fixed piles 2, wherein the plurality of fixed piles 2 are arranged in a V-shaped structure, and the opening direction of the V-shaped structure is set towards the pier body 1;

[0049] Among them, the fixed pile 2 is inserted into the pile hole of the riverbed, and the insertion depth is 2 times the depth of the river.

[0050] In this embodiment, M30 cement mortar with a grouting pressure not less than 0.5 Mpa is poured into the pile hole.

[0051] In this embodiment, the distance between two adjacent fixed piles 2 is one-fourth to one-half of the diameter of the pier body 1.

[0052] In this embodiment, the distance from the fixed pile 2 at the vertex of the V-shaped structure to the center of the pier body 1 is 1.5 - 2 times the diameter of the pier body 1.

[0053] On the two side surfaces of the V-shaped structure close to the pier body 1, permeable diversion plates 3 are respectively arranged, and the permeable diversion plates 3 are fixedly connected to the fixed piles 2; the permeable diversion plates 3 are inserted into the riverbed and are arranged closely with the fixed piles 2.

[0054] In this embodiment, in order to better ensure the water permeability and anti-scour effect, a number of water permeable holes 31 are opened on the permeable diversion plate 3; the water permeable holes 31 can be circular, oval, square, rectangular or triangular, or can be of irregular shapes.

[0055] In order to ensure the service life and working performance of the permeable diversion plate 3, in this embodiment, the permeable diversion plate 3 is made of a diversion plate made of stainless steel.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fixed pile 2 is a steel pipe pile. Using a steel pipe pile for the fixed pile not only has high strength and strong bearing capacity, but also is convenient for construction and installation, improving the construction efficiency and project quality.

[0057] In this embodiment, in order to make the water flow distribution more uniform, a number of water permeable holes 31 on the permeable diversion plate 3 are arranged in an array; reducing the risk of local scour and at the same time improving the overall anti-scour effect, this design also helps to improve the strength and stability of the permeable diversion plate.

[0058] It can be seen that this embodiment provides a permeable diversion device for preventing scouring of pier foundations. By arranging permeable diversion plates on the fixed piles fixed in front of the pier body, a number of permeable holes are provided on the permeable diversion plates to make them permeable. While blocking the oncoming flow, a part of the water flow is also allowed to pass through the circular holes and penetrate the permeable diversion plates, so that the load effect of the water flow on the diversion plates is greatly reduced compared with the traditional anti-scouring baffle. The water flow path is more tortuous and the flow disturbance effect is stronger, which can effectively reduce the flow velocity of the water flow in front of the pier and the local scouring of the falling water flow on the pier foundation. At the same time, this diversion device will not damage the original structure of the pier body and has no impact on the original structure of the pier body. It is suitable for the protection of newly built piers and also for the supplementary protection of existing piers. It has the advantages of simple structure, wide application range, convenient construction material selection, and low cost.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] As Figure 3 shown, this embodiment provides another permeable diversion device for preventing scouring of pier foundations. Its basic structure is the same as that of Embodiment 1, and it has been improved and optimized on the basis of Embodiment 1. After the improvement, the function of the angle adjustment of this diversion device is realized. The specific structure is as follows:

[0061] In this embodiment, at the vertex of the V-shaped structure of the two permeable diversion plates 3, that is, at the fixed pile 2 located at the vertex of the V-shaped structure, the two permeable diversion plates 3 are hinged together through an angle adjustment mechanism, realizing the angle adjustment between the two permeable diversion plates 3. Such a design can appropriately adjust the angle of the diversion plate according to the water flow direction or scouring situation, increasing the flexibility of the device and improving the anti-scouring effect of the pier.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the angle adjustment mechanism includes two hinge connection components 4. One is arranged at the top of the fixed pile 2 located at the vertex of the V-shaped structure, and the other is located at the bottom of the fixed pile 2 at the vertex. The hinges of the hinge connection components 4 are fixed to the two permeable diversion plates 3 through bolts, thereby realizing the angle adjustment between the two permeable diversion plates 3. When the water flow direction or scouring situation changes, the angle between the two permeable diversion plates 3 can be appropriately adjusted through the hinge connection components 4, so as to achieve the best anti-scouring effect.

[0063] In summary, the present utility model provides a permeable diversion device for preventing scouring of pier foundations. Compared with the existing anti-scouring measures, it has the following advantages:

[0064] With this diversion device, while blocking the oncoming flow, it also allows a part of the water flow to pass through the permeable diversion plate through the round holes, greatly reducing the load of the water flow on the diversion plate compared to the traditional anti-scouring baffle. The water flow path becomes more tortuous, with a stronger flow disturbance effect, effectively reducing the flow velocity of the water flow in front of the pier and the local scour of the falling water flow on the pier foundation. The water flow flowing out of the permeable diversion plate in different directions can effectively weaken the flow velocity around the pile and the intensity of various vortex systems, resulting in a larger shielding range. Using this permeable diversion device as a protection measure is more flexible than the traditional protection measure, and the protection effect is more remarkable.

[0065] The above embodiments are merely one of the implementation manners capable of realizing the technical solution of the present invention. The scope of protection required by the present invention is not only limited by this embodiment, but also includes any changes, substitutions and other implementation manners that are easily conceivable by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention.
