Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a hydraulic dam structure capable of realizing sediment flushing and precise positioning of lifting height, and belongs to the technical field of water conservancy engineering structures. Background Art

[0002] A hydraulic dam consists of multiple gates and a control system. The gate chamber floor is a reinforced concrete structure, with the gates secured to the floor via hinged supports and a bottom shaft. The gates are raised and lowered using hydraulic rods and sliding support rods located behind them. When the gates need to be raised to store water, the hydraulic control system inside the gate control chamber is activated. The hydraulic rods, driven by oil pressure in the hydraulic circuit, push the gates upward. Upon reaching their maximum height, the sliding support rods reach their limit, unloading the hydraulic system. The gates are now fixedly supported by the support rods. When the dam needs to be lowered, the support rods pop out of their limiters, and the gates gradually descend under their own weight and water pressure, retracting the hydraulic rods into their slots. Alternating between the hydraulic and support rods allows the gates to be raised to store water and lowered to release water.

[0003] Hydraulic dams use sealant to seal the joints between the hydraulic cylinder groove and the concrete base. This sealant can easily fall off after prolonged water erosion, leading to sediment accumulation in the hydraulic cylinder groove, which in turn affects the hydraulic rod's movement and, in turn, the dam's operation. Furthermore, existing hydraulic dam gates only automatically shut down when the gate engine reaches its highest position. During the raising process, the gate's elevation cannot be automatically monitored. Raising the gate to a specified height (not the maximum height) often requires the coordinated efforts of two or more personnel: one in the control room, while another monitors the gate's elevation and provides feedback to the operator at the riverside. This makes control cumbersome. Furthermore, slight discrepancies between the elevation and the set height are invisible to the naked eye and may be due to component failures. This not only results in inaccurate gate elevation control but also hinders timely detection of potential faults. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a hydraulic dam structure that can achieve silt flushing and precise positioning of the gate lift height. This hydraulic dam structure flushes the hydraulic rod slot, effectively preventing debris and silt from entering the hydraulic cylinder slot. Furthermore, sensors can monitor the gate lift height in real time, simplifying control and enabling precise gate lift height control, enabling timely detection of potential faults.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] The embodiment of the utility model: a hydraulic dam structure capable of achieving sediment flushing and precise positioning of lifting height, such as Figure 1-3As shown, it includes a concrete base plate 1 arranged along the width direction of the river channel, a plurality of hydraulic cylinder grooves 2 are provided on the concrete base plate 1, a hydraulic cylinder is installed in the hydraulic cylinder groove 2, the push rod of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the gate, and the lower end of the gate is movably installed on the concrete base plate 1. The above structures are all conventional settings of hydraulic dams and will not be described in detail. A water spray pipe 3 is movably arranged inside the concrete base plate 1 along the direction perpendicular to the river channel, and the water spray pipe 3 passes through the upstream end of each hydraulic cylinder groove 2. The water spray pipe 3 located in the hydraulic cylinder groove 2 is connected to a nozzle 4 extending toward the downstream direction. At the same time, a support seat 5 is movably sleeved on the water spray pipe 3 located in the hydraulic cylinder groove 2, and the bottom of the support seat 5 is fixed in the hydraulic cylinder groove 2. A pressure sensor 6 is provided at the bottom of each hydraulic cylinder groove 2. All pressure sensors 6 are connected to the gate control system in the original hydraulic dam structure. One end of the water spray pipe 3 extends into the equipment room set up beside the river channel, and the end of the water spray pipe 3 located in the equipment room is connected to a rotary joint 7. The other end of the rotary joint 7 is connected to a water pump 8 through a pipe. The water pump 8 is connected to a pumping pipe 22. The pumping pipe 22 can extend into the river channel or into the water reservoir. The water spray pipe 3 located in the equipment room is also connected to a water spray pipe rotation drive mechanism.

[0021] When the hydraulic dam's gate is erected and storing water, pressure sensor 6 is energized to monitor the amount of sediment accumulated in hydraulic cylinder tank 2. This data is fed back to the gate control system. When the monitoring data from pressure sensor 6 reaches a set threshold, the gate control system activates pump 8 to start pumping water, supplying water to spray pipe 3. Water in spray pipe 3 flows through nozzle 4 and is sprayed to flush the sediment accumulated in hydraulic cylinder tank 2, effectively preventing the accumulation of gravel and sediment in hydraulic cylinder tank 2, which could affect gate operation.

[0022] While pumping pump 8 is operating, the gate control system also controls the water pipe rotation drive mechanism. This mechanism drives the water pipe 3 to rotate back and forth within a certain angle range, allowing the water sprayed by nozzle 4 to flush sediment from different areas. After a certain flushing period, pumping pump 8 and the water pipe rotation drive mechanism stop operating. The provision of rotary joint 7 ensures that the water pipe rotation drive mechanism can only rotate the water pipe 3.

[0023] During silt flushing and gate discharge, to prevent high-pressure water from directly impacting the surface of pressure sensor 6 and causing it to transmit erroneous data signals, pressure sensor 6 is powered off and no longer monitors. When the gate discharge is complete and water begins to fill, pressure sensor 6 is powered on for monitoring. When the monitored data exceeds a threshold, flushing is initiated; otherwise, flushing is not initiated. Since no new gravel or silt enters the hydraulic cylinder tank 2 during water storage, pressure sensor 6 is powered off after a single data monitoring session until the next discharge is complete and water begins to fill, when monitoring resumes.

[0024] The water spray pipe rotation drive mechanism includes a driven gear 9 fixedly sleeved on the water spray pipe 3, the driven gear 9 is connected to the driving gear 10 via a chain, and the driving gear 10 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor drive mechanism 11. The motor drive mechanism 11 includes a motor and a reduction mechanism connected thereto. During use, the gate control system controls the motor drive mechanism 11 to start or stop. After the click drive mechanism 11 is started, its output shaft drives the driving gear 10 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear 9 to rotate through the chain. The driven gear 9 then drives the water spray pipe 3 fixedly connected thereto to rotate. After the water spray pipe 3 rotates a certain angle, the motor drive mechanism 11 stops and then rotates in the opposite direction. The support seat 5 is used to support the water spray pipe 3 to prevent the water spray pipe 3 from bending and sagging, while ensuring that it can rotate.

[0025] The upstream end of the hydraulic cylinder tank 2 features an upwardly angled slope, with a water spray pipe 3 located within it. Because gravel and silt typically accumulate within the main structure of the hydraulic cylinder tank 2, the placement of the water spray pipe 3 within this slope facilitates flushing of these gravel and silt. The slope also prevents the back of the gate from contacting the water spray pipe 3 during water release. A downwardly angled sand discharge chute 12 is located at the downstream end of the hydraulic cylinder tank 2, through which gravel and silt are discharged during the flushing process.

[0026] Two nozzles 4 are connected to the water spray pipe 3 of each hydraulic cylinder tank 2, which can effectively clean the hydraulic cylinder tank 2. A sleeve 13 is installed inside the concrete base plate 1, and the water spray pipe 3 passes through the sleeve 13 to prevent the water spray pipe 3 from sticking to the concrete during the pouring process of the concrete base plate 1.

[0027] The support base 5 includes a bearing 14 that is sleeved onto the water pipe 3. The bearing 14 is embedded in a support base body 15. The bottom of the support base body 15 is fixed in the hydraulic cylinder slot 2. The bearing 14 supports the water pipe 3 and ensures its stable rotation. A buttress 16 is fixed to the surface of the concrete base plate 1 behind each hydraulic cylinder slot 2. When the gate is releasing water, its back is supported on the buttress 16 after opening, ensuring that the back of the gate does not contact the water pipe 3.

[0028] A mounting rod 17 is provided above the gate, extending across the river channel, with each end of the mounting rod 17 fixed to the river bank. Several distance sensors 18 are mounted on the mounting rod 17, each corresponding to a gate, and the distance sensors 18 are connected to the gate control system. During the gate's rotation, its vertical height changes. The distance sensors 18 can monitor the height of the gate directly below it to confirm whether each gate has been raised to the specified height during the water storage process. The entire process does not require personnel to stand by the river channel to confirm whether the gate has been raised to its designated height, freeing up the operator and simplifying the entire control process. Furthermore, the distance sensors 18 are used to monitor the gate's height, and the height data obtained from the monitoring is relatively accurate. If a slight discrepancy is found between the actual gate's raised height and the set height, personnel can be dispatched promptly to inspect the gate and related components, enabling timely detection of potential faults and the implementation of relevant measures.

[0029] The concrete base plate 1 in front of the gate is also provided with a plurality of vertical poles 19, the upper ends of which are connected to horizontal poles 20 extending downstream, and the mounting rod 17 is fixed on the horizontal poles 20. When the span of the river channel is large, in order to prevent the mounting rod 17 from sinking, the vertical poles 19 and horizontal poles 20 are provided to support the mounting rod 17 in the middle position.

[0030] The horizontal rod 20 is also fixedly connected to the vertical rod 19 via the oblique pull rod 21 , and the horizontal rod 20 is lifted and fixed by the oblique pull rod 21 .

[0031] The motor of the motor drive mechanism 11 can be powered by mains electricity, and a photovoltaic power generation device can be set up beside the river to power the motor.
