Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, in particular to a manhole structure for the plug of a construction access tunnel of a high-head power station. Background Art

[0002] In water conservancy and hydropower projects, the construction access tunnels are generally sealed with permanent concrete plugs before the power station is actually put into operation to resist the water pressure in the tunnel. Since the plug of the construction access tunnel is a permanent building, its design level, stability and anti-seepage requirements are the same as those of the water retaining structure. Therefore, when setting manholes in the solid concrete plug, it is necessary to ensure its strength, impermeability and durability. For example, in the conventional design of the construction access tunnel of a power station, the blind head of the manhole of the construction access tunnel relies on the force of bolts to ensure sealing. This method cannot make full use of the action of the water pressure in the tunnel and is prone to metal fatigue. Once tensile failure occurs and water leakage occurs, it will greatly affect the normal operation of the power station. Moreover, the front end of the blind head in some projects extends into the high-pressure water diversion tunnel, affecting the flow-through capacity, or the design uses manholes with equal diameters, resulting in material waste and excessive strength, or conversely, insufficient strength. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and provide a manhole structure for the plug of a construction access tunnel of a high-head power station, which can solve the problem of easy occurrence of metal fatigue in the conventional method.

[0004] For this purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A manhole structure for the plug of a construction access tunnel of a high-head power station, comprising a solid-section concrete plug on one side of the high-pressure water diversion tunnel. An access hole is arranged inside the solid-section concrete plug. The inner wall of the access hole is provided with a steel pipe lining. An access hole blind head is arranged at a position of the access hole close to the high-pressure water diversion tunnel, and the access door opens towards the high-pressure water diversion tunnel side.

[0006] On the basis of adopting the above technical solutions, the utility model can also adopt the following further technical solutions, or use a combination of these further technical solutions:

[0007] A hollow-section concrete plug is connected to the side of the solid-section concrete plug away from the high-pressure water diversion tunnel.

[0008] The solid-section concrete plug comprises a first solid section and a second solid section. The first solid section is located on the side of the access hole close to the high-pressure water diversion tunnel, and a construction joint is arranged between the first solid section and the second solid section.

[0009] A water stop is arranged at the upper end of the construction joint.

[0010] The cross-section of the access hole is circular. The access hole includes a small-diameter section, a variable-diameter section, and a large-diameter section. The small-diameter section is located within the first solid section, the large-diameter section is located within the second solid section, the variable-diameter section connects the small-diameter section and the large-diameter section, and the construction joint is located on the side of the variable-diameter section close to the large-diameter section.

[0011] A number of stiffening rings are provided on the outer wall of the steel pipe lining.

[0012] The width of the stiffening ring is equal to the wall thickness of the steel pipe lining, and the distance between two adjacent stiffening rings is 1 - 3 m.

[0013] The front end of the access hole plug does not exceed the inner wall of the high-pressure water diversion tunnel.

[0014] The aperture of the access hole is 1.0 - 1.8 m.

[0015] A stainless steel ladder is provided on the side of the access hole plug close to the high-pressure water diversion tunnel. The stainless steel ladder includes a number of climbing bars, and the height of each climbing bar is 25 - 30 cm.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: By providing an access hole in the solid-section concrete plug, it is convenient for maintenance personnel to enter the high-pressure water diversion tunnel through the access hole for maintenance; at the same time, an access door opening towards the high-pressure water diversion tunnel is provided in the solid-section concrete plug, and the hydrostatic pressure can be utilized to ensure the sealing of the access hole plug, eliminating the need for additional auxiliary equipment to pressurize the access hole plug.
