Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of water intake pumping stations for water conservancy projects, and specifically relates to a riverbed buried pumping station. Background Technology

[0002] River intake pumping stations are widely used in water conservancy projects. They are structures that lift river water from a lower elevation to a higher one. River water levels often fluctuate, and pumping stations need to adapt to different water level conditions. When the river water level fluctuates significantly, various types of pumping stations can be used, such as dry-chamber pumping stations, floating pumping stations, cable car pumping stations, and bank-mounted submersible pumping stations. Dry-chamber pumping stations and bank-mounted submersible pumping stations are large structures, occupying a significant area of ​​the river channel and riverbank slopes. This can impact the stability of riverbank embankments, flood control, and the riverside landscape, and also has a long construction period. Floating-chamber and cable car pumping stations are mostly used for larger water intake scales. They are less economical for smaller water intake scales, and the large size of the pumping vessels and cable cars also affects the riverside landscape.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent authorization announcement No. CN211665851U discloses a buried pumping station for water conservancy projects, including a housing, an inlet, a base, an electrical conduit, and a water pump. The housing is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and a top cover is installed on the top of the housing. An inspection platform is provided inside the housing, and stairs are distributed inside. A base plate is installed at the bottom of the housing, and two sets of water pumps are installed on the top of the base plate via pump seats. An outlet is installed on one side of each water pump, and a water delivery pipe is installed on the top of the outlet. An electrical conduit is installed on one side of the housing, and the interior of the electrical conduit is connected to the water pump through a cable plate protection pipe. This buried pumping station is installed on conventional ground and is difficult to adapt to large fluctuations in river water levels. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the existing technical problems, this utility model aims to provide a riverbed buried pumping station, which can solve the technical problem that existing pumping stations are difficult to adapt to large changes in river water level.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A riverbed buried pumping station includes a box body, characterized by: an outlet pipe and an inlet pipe on the side wall of the box body, a pumping assembly inside the box body, and the outlet pipe connected to the pumping assembly; the box body is located in the riverbed and is fixedly connected to the bedrock at the bottom of the riverbed, with the inlet pipe located above the riverbed.

[0007] This application discloses a riverbed-buried pumping station, in which the tank body is buried in the riverbed, with the top of the tank body exposed above the riverbed. Water is drawn into the river through an inlet pipe on the side wall of the tank body, and pumped out through a pumping assembly and an outlet pipe, allowing for normal water intake under different water levels. This utility model's riverbed-buried pumping station integrates the inlet and outlet pipes and the pumping assembly into the tank body, reducing the footprint, saving space and investment, shortening the construction period, and facilitating construction. Furthermore, since the tank body is buried in the riverbed, it occupies a small section of the river channel for flood control, minimizing its impact on flood discharge. The tank body is permanently submerged underwater, not affecting the riverside landscape, and it allows for normal water intake under different water levels.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the box body is provided with a bottom plate, which is anchored to the bedrock at the bottom of the riverbed by multiple anchor bars. By setting the bottom plate and anchor bars, the pull-out resistance of the box body is strengthened, ensuring anti-buoyancy safety.

[0012] Preferably, the base plate is made of reinforced concrete, and the anchor bolts are pre-embedded in the base plate.

[0013] Preferably, the inlet pipe is provided with a grille, a filter screen, and a second valve in sequence from the outer end to the inner side, and the aperture of the filter screen is smaller than that of the grille. By setting up the grille to intercept large floating and suspended particles in the water, and setting up the filter screen to intercept small floating and suspended particles in the water, blockage of the inlet pipe is prevented.

[0014] Preferably, the second valve is located inside the housing, and its stem extends outward through the top cover of the housing. This allows the second valve to be operated from outside the housing, increasing ease of operation.

[0015] Preferably, the box body is a cylindrical structure with a height of not less than 5m; the water inlet pipe is located on the upper part of the side wall of the box body, with the outer end of the water inlet pipe facing away from the riverbank. The lower part of the box body is buried in the riverbed, while the top is exposed above the riverbed, thus occupying a small section of the river channel for flood discharge and having little impact on the safety of flood discharge.

[0016] Preferably, the pumping assembly includes a submersible pump and a pressure pipe connected to the outlet of the submersible pump, and a first valve is provided on the pressure pipe; the submersible pump is located at the bottom of the housing, the pressure pipe is vertically arranged, and the end of the pressure pipe is connected to the outlet pipe; preferably, a maintenance platform is provided on the inner side wall of the housing, the first valve is located above the maintenance platform, and a vertical ladder is provided on the maintenance platform, with the top of the ladder close to the top of the housing.

[0019] 2. The riverbed buried pumping station of this utility model has its box body buried in the riverbed, which occupies a small section of the river channel for flood discharge and has little impact on the flood discharge of the river channel. Moreover, the box body is submerged underwater for a long time, which does not affect the riverside landscape and can draw water normally under different water levels.

[0020] 3. The riverbed buried pump station of this utility model has a box body placed on a reinforced concrete anti-buoyancy bottom plate and fixedly connected to the bottom plate by anchor bolts.
