The large-diameter PE pipe can bear a large flow of compressed air, reduce the pressure loss in the gas transmission process, and ensure that the gas can be quickly and efficiently delivered from the adjusting assembly to each side branch gas pipe 17, meeting the demand for simultaneous gas use of multiple side branch gas pipes 17; the branch pipe connecting port is used for connecting with the side branch gas pipe 17, and a reasonable connecting structure is designed to ensure the tightness and reliability of the connection, so that the gas can be uniformly and stably distributed to each side branch gas pipe 17; the end head blocking plate closes the end of the main gas pipe 10 to prevent gas leakage and maintain the stability of the air pressure in the main gas pipe 10, ensuring the normal operation of the entire gas delivery system,

[0037] Working principle: in the manual control mode, the air compressor 19 first inputs high-pressure gas into the gas storage tank 2, the gas storage tank 2 inputs the high-pressure gas into the main gas pipe 10 arranged along the dam axis, the main gas pipe 10 injects the high-pressure gas into the side branch gas pipe 17 arranged along the water flow direction, and the high-pressure gas in the side branch gas pipe 17 enters the storage cavity of the gas storage type air nozzle 18. When the high-pressure gas in the cavity reaches the set pressure value, the air nozzle discharges it to form a large air bubble with a diameter of 200-300 mm, which quickly rises to the water surface under the buoyancy of water and bursts, and the ice layer is broken under the impact force of the air bubble and the high temperature and high pressure generated when the air bubble bursts. If the water surface is not frozen, periodic release of the air bubble can prevent the water surface from freezing.

[0038] When the overflow flow of the dam body is small, in order to prevent the water flow from freezing, the eave heat preservation device is started to raise the temperature of the eave of the shield plate to 5-10°, so as to ensure that this place does not freeze, thereby avoiding the accident that the frozen ice column pushes against the shield plate to cause the dam to be unable to collapse.

[0039] In the automatic control mode, the control box 1 is opened, the critical water temperature and air temperature are set according to the local climate conditions, the control mode is set to automatic mode, the air compressor 19 is started to pressurize the high-pressure air into the gas storage tank 2 according to the temperature collected by the temperature sensor 15, the pneumatic valve 5, the PPR joint 6 and the manual valve 7 are inflated according to the set value, and the gas pressure of the gas storage type air nozzle 18 reaches the set value, then the large air bubble is released at a regular time to prevent the water surface from freezing or break the ice surface.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
