[0002] The penstock of a hydropower station is an important part of the water conveyance structure in water conservancy and hydropower projects. During use, it is under great internal water pressure and also bears the impact of dynamic water pressure. In order to ensure the safe operation of the penstock, maintenance personnel need to regularly conduct quality inspections on the inner wall of the penstock and evaluate the cracks and corrosion on its surface. Since the inner diameter of the penstock of a hydropower station is relatively large, usually between 2 and 12 meters, when manually entering the pipe for inspection, a support device is required for observing the upper half of the inner wall. The existing support devices mainly adopt the method of erecting scaffolding, which has the characteristics of long erection time, high safety risk, and high erection cost.

[0003] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a simple, flexible, safe and reliable detection support device in the detection operation of the penstock of a hydropower station. Content of the Utility Model

[0015] The embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the utility model.

[0016] As Figure 1-2 shown, this embodiment provides an inner wall inspection support platform for a penstock of a hydropower station, which includes a lower half 2 and an upper half 3. The lower half 2 is formed by stacking multiple cylindrical inflation columns 4 in the front - rear direction (the radial direction of the penstock 1), and the overall vertical section is semicircular; the upper half 3 is formed by stacking multiple layers of square inflation blocks 5, and the outer dimensions of the multiple layers of square inflation blocks 5 gradually decrease from bottom to top, so as to form an operation ladder 9 around.

[0017] Specifically, between multiple cylindrical inflation columns 4, between multiple layers of square inflation blocks 5, and between the top - most inflation column 4 and the bottom - most inflation block 5, magic tapes are used for bonding.

[0018] In a specific case, magnetic attraction blocks 6 are connected to some of the inflatable columns 4 on the outer periphery of the lower half 2 to fix to the inner wall of the penstock 1, so as to prevent the sliding of the support platform during the detection operation. The suction force of the magnetic attraction blocks 6 should be set appropriately and can be lifted by normal human force. In addition, in order to improve the stability of the overall support platform, loop buckles 7 are provided on the front and rear end faces of each inflatable column 4 and each inflatable block 5, and the loop buckles 7 are connected by ropes 8, and the end of the rope 8 is connected to the magnetic attraction block 6.

[0019] In a specific case, several layers of the multi-layer square inflatable blocks 5 can be formed by splicing multiple square inflatable blocks 5. Especially for the larger-sized lower layer, it is spliced by two square inflatable blocks 5 of the same size, and the adjacent sides can be spliced by Velcro, so as to facilitate transportation and assembly.

[0020] In a specific case, the overall height of the lower half 2 is 2 - 5 m, the overall height of the upper half 3 is 2 - 4 m, and the front and rear lengths of each layer of the lower half 2 and the upper half 3 are the same, usually 3 - 5 m. The specific heights of the lower half 2 and the upper half 3 can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of layers of the inflatable columns 4 and the inflatable blocks 5 according to the diameter of the penstock to be detected. The specific sizes of the inflatable columns 4 and the inflatable blocks 5 can be set arbitrarily, and the diameters of the inflatable columns 4 in different layers can be the same or different. The height of each layer of the inflatable block 5 is preferably between 0.3 - 0.5 m.

[0021] In addition, the inner wall detection support platform of the hydropower station penstock according to the present utility model may further include an auxiliary inflatable step (not shown in the figure), which is arranged beside one end face of the lower half 2, and the detection personnel can reach the upper half 3 by stepping on the auxiliary inflatable step. The structure of the auxiliary inflatable step is similar to that of the upper half 3 and will not be elaborated here.

[0022] The inner wall detection support platform of the hydropower station penstock of the present utility model is assembled by the lower half 2 and the upper half 3 with specific shapes. The lower half 2 is formed by multiple cylindrical inflatable columns 4 into a semi-cylindrical shape, so as to closely fit with the inner wall of the penstock 1 to form a support, and can easily move back and forth on the inner wall of the penstock 1, facilitating the detection personnel to detect the inner wall of the penstock 1 in segments. The upper half 3 is formed by multiple layers of square inflatable blocks 5 into an operation ladder 9, and the detection personnel can stand on the operation ladders 9 at different heights to detect different parts of the inner wall of the penstock 1.

[0023] The inflatable columns 4, the inflatable blocks 5 and the auxiliary inflatable step in the present utility model can all be surrounded by airtight cloth, and the inflatable columns 4 and the inflatable blocks 5 are both provided with air inlets (air outlets). Inflation and splicing are carried out before the detection operation, and deflation is carried out after the operation is completed, so as to conveniently move out of the penstock 1.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
