Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, especially relates to a vertical shaft spillway energy dissipation structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] Pumped storage power stations have gradually become an important support for China's energy structure transformation, the construction of a new power system, and the realization of the "double carbon" goal due to their unique role in peak shaving, emergency backup, frequency and phase modulation, and significant economic and ecological environmental benefits. A pumped storage power station is mainly composed of two reservoirs at different altitudes and the pumping and power generation system between them. The flood flow of the upper and lower reservoirs is generally not large, and artificial lake landscapes are usually formed by reservoir storage, so large-scale excavation of spillways on the shore is not generally used, and a vertical shaft is excavated and connected to the diversion tunnel during construction to form a vertical shaft spillway as a discharge structure during operation.
[0003] Vertical shaft spillways have the advantages of simple structure, small environmental disturbance, and small engineering investment, and are mainly composed of a ring-shaped overflow weir, a vertical shaft, an energy dissipation well, a non-pressure drainage tunnel, and outlet energy dissipation facilities, etc. In a vertical shaft spillway, water flows downward along the vertical direction after passing through the ring-shaped weir, and the gravitational potential energy is quickly converted into kinetic energy. Under the action of a 50-100m drop, the flow velocity of the water reaching the bottom of the well can reach 20-30m / s. The high-speed water flow collides with the structure at the bottom of the vertical shaft, and the water and air are strongly mixed and turbulent. To ensure the safety of the vertical shaft, the structure at the bottom of the vertical shaft needs to be properly designed to dissipate the kinetic energy of the water flow through its own aeration and turbulence, ensure that the water flow pulsation load on the surface of the flow structure is within a safe range, and quickly adjust the flow direction so that the water flows smoothly through the short horizontal drainage tunnel (i.e. the diversion tunnel during construction).
[0004] In engineering practice, the energy dissipation well is further excavated along the vertical shaft axis based on the elevation of the drainage tunnel bottom plate to form an energy dissipation well with the same diameter as the vertical shaft to increase the water volume in the bottom energy dissipation area and improve the energy dissipation effect. The above-mentioned energy dissipation method can solve the energy dissipation problem of most vertical shaft spillways. However, in recent years, with the continuous breakthrough of the vertical shaft discharge flow, and considering the limitation of the excavation depth of the energy dissipation well due to geological conditions, the energy dissipation well cannot meet the energy dissipation needs of some vertical shafts, resulting in violent vibration of the energy dissipation well and strong water flow fluctuation in the drainage tunnel, which even left and right, up and down, and floating, threatening the safe operation of the vertical shaft spillway.

[0030] The embodiment provides a vertical shaft spillway energy dissipation structure, which comprises: Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, comprising:
[0031] The stilling basin 1 is arranged below the vertical shaft 4 and connected with the tail part and the water retreat tunnel 5, the bottom of the stilling basin 1 is flush with the bottom of the water retreat tunnel 5, the height of the stilling basin 1 is greater than the height of the water retreat tunnel 5, water flows into the water retreat tunnel 5 through the vertical shaft 4 and the stilling basin 1 in turn, and a large number of bubbles 7 are generated in the energy dissipation process.
[0032] The stilling beam 2 is arranged in the middle part of the stilling basin 1, and the extension direction of the stilling beam 2 is perpendicular to the main flow direction in the stilling basin 1.
[0033] The vertical shaft spillway energy dissipation structure provided by the embodiment increases the stilling basin 1 and the stilling beam 2 relative to the existing vertical shaft spillway energy dissipation structure, and has the following advantages through the combination of "stilling basin 1 + stilling beam 2":
[0034] (1) Good energy dissipation effect: the energy dissipation structure appropriately enlarges the connecting section of the vertical shaft 4 and the water retreat tunnel 5 through the stilling basin 1, and the stilling beam 2 can raise the water level in the pool, thereby significantly increasing the water volume of the energy dissipation zone and enhancing the energy dissipation effect.
[0035] (2) Good flow state of the water retreat tunnel 5: the stilling beam 2 arranged in the energy dissipation structure is located near the water surface 61, can effectively eliminate or reduce the fluctuation of the water surface 61, and makes the water flow 6 entering the water retreat tunnel 5 more stable.
[0036] (3) Low structural safety risk of the stilling basin 1: the stilling beam 2 can raise the water level in the pool, increase the water depth, reduce the pulsating pressure of the bottom plate of the stilling basin 1, and thereby reduce the structural safety risk of the stilling basin 1.
[0037] (4) Good adaptability to geological conditions: the energy dissipation structure does not need to be further excavated on the basis of the bottom elevation of the tailrace tunnel 5, and can adapt to complex geological conditions.
[0038] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the cross section of the stilling basin 1 is rectangular, the extension direction of the stilling beam 2 is perpendicular to the main flow direction in the stilling basin 1, and the stilling beam 2 is perpendicular to the side wall of the stilling basin 1.
[0039] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the width b of the stilling basin 1 is not less than the diameter D of the shaft 4, so as to avoid the impact of the falling water flow 6 on the side wall and the bottom of the stilling basin 1 and ensure sufficient transverse energy dissipation space; the length of the stilling basin 1 is generally 3-5 times the diameter of the shaft 4, so as to ensure sufficient water volume in the stilling basin 1, and then the average energy dissipation intensity of unit volume of water body meets the structural vibration safety requirement, and the length direction of the stilling basin 1 is the main flow direction in the stilling basin 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the horizontal length l1 of the stilling basin 1 upstream of the stilling beam 2 is 1.5-3 times the diameter D of the shaft 4, so that most of the kinetic energy of the water flow 6 upstream of the stilling beam 2 can be consumed, and at the same time the structural safety of the stilling beam 2 under the action of the strong pulsating water flow 6 is ensured; the length l2 of the stilling basin 1 downstream of the stilling beam 2 is 1-2 times the diameter D of the shaft 4, so that the water flow 6 after surface wave dissipation can be adjusted smoothly before entering the tailrace tunnel 5.
[0041] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the height h b of the stilling beam 2 is 0.3-0.6 times the diameter D of the shaft 4, which can achieve better wave dissipation and energy dissipation effect while avoiding affecting the overflow capacity of the shaft spillway.
[0042] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the thickness l b of the stilling beam 2 is 0.5-1m, so as to ensure the stability of its own structure and meet the construction requirements.
[0043] In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , the height H of the stilling basin 1 is 1.5-2 times the height h t of the tailrace tunnel 5, so as to ensure that the water surface 61 fluctuation and splashing do not seal the top.
[0044] In this embodiment, the height difference h fThe ratio of the diameter D of the vertical shaft 4 to the diameter of the vertical shaft 4 is 0.15 to 0.25, usually 0.2, and ensures that there is pressurized outflow below it, so as to reduce the pulsating pressure of the bottom plate of the stilling basin 1, and at the same time make the mainstream direction of the water flow 6 flowing downstream along the bottom of the stilling beam 2 more concentrated, faster and smoother.
[0045] In this embodiment, preferably, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the connection between stilling basin 1 and shaft 4, as well as the connection between stilling basin 1 and drainage tunnel 5, has rounded corners. The corners of the top plate at the connection between stilling basin 1 and shaft 4, as well as the connection between stilling basin 1 and drainage tunnel 5, can be rounded to make the flow of water 6 under the condition of exceeding the design flow rate smoother.
[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the shaft 4 is also equipped with an inlet annular weir 3, which is used to introduce water flow 6 into the shaft 4.
[0047] In one specific implementation of this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a certain vertical shaft spillway consists of an inlet annular weir 3, a vertical shaft 4, a stilling basin 1, and a drainage tunnel 5. A stilling beam 2 is arranged inside the stilling basin 1. The diameter of the vertical shaft 4 is 6m, and the drainage tunnel 5 is 6m wide and 7m high.
[0048] The stilling basin 1 and the stilling beam 2 form a cost-effective energy dissipation structure, located at the junction of the shaft 4 and the drainage tunnel 5. The stilling basin 1 is located at the bottom of the shaft 4, and its tail is connected to the drainage tunnel 5. The stilling beam 2 is located in the middle of the stilling basin 1 in both the horizontal and vertical directions and is fixed to the side wall of the stilling basin 1.
[0049] The width b of stilling basin 1 is 6m, which is not less than the diameter D (6m) of shaft 4, and the length L = 24m, which is 4 times the diameter D of shaft 4.
[0050] The horizontal length l1 from the head of stilling basin 1 to the upstream face of stilling beam 2 is 12m, which is twice the diameter D of shaft 4 (6m). The length l2 from the downstream face of stilling beam 2 to the inlet of drainage tunnel 5 is 10m, which is 1.67 times the diameter of shaft 4.
[0051] The height h of the stilling beam 2 b =3m, the ratio of which to the diameter D=6m of shaft 4 is 0.5, and the length l along the flow direction of the stilling beam 2 is... b =0.6m, which meets the requirements for structural stability.
[0052] The total height of stilling basin 1, H = 12m, is the height h of drainage tunnel 5. t = 1.71 times 7m, the height difference h between the bottom surface of the stilling beam 2 and the bottom plate f =1.2m, and the ratio of the diameter D=6m of shaft 4 is 0.2, with pressurized outflow below it.
[0053] The corner 11 of the top plate of the junction of the stilling basin and the shaft and the corner 12 of the top plate of the junction of the stilling basin and the drainage tunnel are rounded to make the flow of the water flow 6 more smooth under the condition of the super design flow.
