Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology, and in particular to a drainage corridor system for the bottom of a fully protected reservoir basin in a pumped storage power station. Background Art

[0002] During the construction and operation of pumped storage power stations, leakage and drainage at the bottom of the reservoir have always been important factors affecting the safety and stable operation of the power station.

[0003] To address this issue, asphalt concrete or reinforced concrete panels are typically used for full-basin seepage prevention. However, even with these measures, some minor leakage paths may still exist, leading to water accumulation at the bottom of the reservoir. Because the full-basin seepage prevention structure of a pumped storage power station is a thin-layer structure, if the seepage water at the bottom cannot be drained quickly enough, the reverse water pressure at the bottom cannot be effectively eliminated. This can cause the entire seepage prevention structure to be subjected to back pressure, potentially leading to instability and damage to the bottom structure, affecting its seepage prevention effect, and even causing serious safety accidents. Therefore, an effective bottom drainage system is needed to promptly drain seepage water from the bottom of the reservoir, reduce water pressure, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the power station. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a drainage corridor system for the bottom of the fully protected reservoir basin of a pumped storage power station, which can effectively drain water seepage from the bottom of the fully protected reservoir basin, improve the stability and bearing capacity of the reservoir bottom, prevent uneven settlement and deformation from damaging the upper reservoir basin anti-seepage panel structure, and ensure the stability and safety of the reservoir basin structure.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A drainage corridor system for the bottom of a pumped storage power station with a fully waterproof reservoir basin, comprising an upper reservoir basin waterproof panel and a bottom drainage corridor. Drainage ditches are provided on both sides of the bottom of the bottom drainage corridor. A pad material layer is backfilled between the upper reservoir basin waterproof panel and the bottom drainage corridor. Two water collection troughs are provided on the top of the bottom drainage corridor along the direction of the bottom drainage corridor. Rigid PVC drainage pipes are pre-embedded inside the side walls on both sides of the corridor. The top of the drainage pipe is located in the water collection trough, and the top end is sealed with a perforated plastic round plate and wrapped with non-woven fabric. The pipe opening is filled with 2-3cm of gravel. The bottom of the drainage pipe is connected to the drainage ditch. The water collection trough is backfilled with sand-free concrete.

[0006] The reservoir basin seepage-proof panel is made of asphalt concrete or reinforced concrete. The asphalt concrete seepage-proof panel includes a sealing layer, a seepage-proof layer, and a leveling and bonding layer, with a thickness of 11.2–20.2 cm. The reinforced concrete panel has a concrete strength grade of not less than C25 and a thickness of not less than 0.3 m. The permeability coefficient K of the upper reservoir basin seepage-proof panel is ≤ i × 10⁻⁶. - 8cm / s, i is 1 to 9.

[0007] The drainage corridor at the bottom of the reservoir is a reinforced concrete structure with a concrete strength grade of not less than C25. It adopts a circular arch and straight wall reinforcement type, and has a water collection trough at the top. The trough is 1m wide at the top, 0.6m wide at the bottom, and 0.2m deep. A pair of troughs are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the corridor. The trough is backfilled with no-fines concrete with a strength grade of not less than C15 and a permeability coefficient K≥i×10. -2 cm / s, i is 1 to 9, the slope ratio of the outer walls of the corridor is not steeper than 1:0.2, the inner walls of the corridor are arched straight walls, and rigid PVC drainage pipes are pre-embedded inside the side walls on both sides.

[0008] The rigid PVC drainage pipes are located inside the side walls on both sides of the corridor, distributed at certain intervals, with their tops located in the water collection troughs and a certain length exposed.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up water collection troughs, rigid PVC drainage pipes, and drainage ditches, this utility model can effectively collect and drain seepage water from the bottom of the pumped storage power station's reservoir basin. By adjusting the structural design slope ratio and backfilling measures, it improves the stability, bearing capacity, and deformation coordination of the reservoir bottom, preventing damage to the upper reservoir basin's seepage prevention structure caused by uneven settlement deformation, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the reservoir basin structure. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to construct, providing ideas and references for the design of drainage corridor structures at the bottom of reservoirs in similar projects.

[0021] The following example, using a large-scale pumped storage power station project that adopts the technical solution of this utility model, is further illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] A large pumped storage power station's upper reservoir adopts a full-basin seepage prevention scheme. The main structures include: an asphalt concrete-faced rockfill dam, a full-basin seepage prevention structure, and a reservoir bottom drainage system.
