Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of civil engineering technology, specifically a simulation test device for a tunnel built-in drainage pool. Background Technology
[0002] Internal drainage tanks in tunnels are facilities used to collect and discharge groundwater in tunnel engineering. They are typically located in low-lying areas or areas prone to water accumulation within the tunnel, thus preventing water accumulation from affecting the tunnel structure and traffic safety.

If the water level is not stable, starting the pumps directly can easily lead to pump malfunctions. Therefore, a tunnel built-in drainage pool simulation test device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Specific implementation examples are given below.
[0026] like Figure 1-7As shown, a tunnel-embedded drainage pool simulation test device includes a support frame 1; an upper water pool 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1; a lower water pool 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 1; multiple sets of drainage pumps 13 are installed at the bottom of the lower water pool 12; a connecting water pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the drainage pump 13, and the other end of the connecting water pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper water pool 11; a drainage pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the upper water pool 11, and the other end of the drainage pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower water pool 12; the bottom wall of the lower water pool 12 is equipped with... The system is equipped with a support frame 1; a liquid level sensor 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain tank 12; an electrical control system 17 is installed outside the drain tank 12, and the electrical control system 17 and the drain pipe 15 are offset from each other; the electrical control system 17 includes a programmable controller 18, an A / D module 19, an intermediate relay 110, a contactor 111, a computer 112, a touch screen 113, and a water level alarm 114; the programmable controller 18 and the A / D module 19 are connected by a signal; the A / D... Module 19 and liquid level sensor 16 are connected via signal; the programmable controller 18 and intermediate relay 110 are connected via signal; the intermediate relay 110 and contactor 111 are connected via signal; the programmable controller 18 and computer 112 are connected via signal; the programmable controller 18 and touch screen 113 are connected via signal; the programmable controller 18 and water level alarm 114 are connected via signal; the contactor 111 and drainage pump 13 are connected via signal. During operation, after the upper water tank 11 and support frame 1 are fixed, an appropriate amount of liquid is transferred into the upper water tank 11 and lower water tank 12. The real-time water level of the lower water tank 12 is collected by the liquid level sensor 16. The real-time water level value is compared with the stable water level value in the programmable controller program to determine whether to start the drainage pump 13 and whether to activate the water level alarm. If the drainage pump 13 is started, the water discharged by the drainage pump 13 is connected to the upper water tank 11.Alternatively, by opening the gate valve of the upper water tank 11 and draining through the drain pipe 15, water from the upper water tank 11 can flow into the lower water tank 12.

This simple structure allows for water recycling in both the upper and lower test pools, preventing water waste during testing. The improved program adds a delay Td to the real-time water level comparison, ensuring the water level is stable rather than abrupt before activating the pump or alarm. This prevents pump malfunctions and false alarms. The touchscreen 113 displays the pool water level clearly and in real-time. The touchscreen's buttons are simple and intuitive, providing clear alarm information. The test is flexible, allowing switching between automatic and manual control via the touchscreen. Compared to tunnel testing, this system is simpler, more cost-effective, and ensures the safety of test personnel.
[0027] like Figure 1-7As shown, a water pump 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sink 12; a water pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the input end of the water pump 2, and the water pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the sink 12; multiple branch pipes 22 are fixedly connected to the middle of the water pipe 21, and the multiple branch pipes 22 are connected to the water pipe 21; a first drain pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 2; a housing 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the first drain pipe 23, and the first drain pipe 23 is connected to the housing 24; the housing 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sink 12; A cover plate 25 is installed on the top of the housing 24; a second drain pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the middle of the housing 24, and the second drain pipe 26 is located above the first drain pipe 23; a frame plate 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 24; a filter screen 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame plate 27, and the filter screen 28 is located near the second drain pipe 26; during operation, a water pump 2 is installed on the inner wall of the sink 12. When there are many impurities in the sink 12, the operator can start the water pump 2 switch, so that the water pump 2 draws water from the water pipe 21 on one side and the water pipe 23 in the sink 12. The multi-component drain pipe 22 draws out liquid and some impurities, while simultaneously draining liquid and some impurities from one end of the first drain pipe 23 and transferring them to the housing 24 for collection. This works in conjunction with the second drain pipe 26 in the lower water tank 12, which is higher than the liquid level. When the liquid level in the housing 24 reaches the position of the second drain pipe 26, excess liquid can pass through the second drain pipe 26 and be transferred back to the lower water tank 12. The filter screen 28 filters out impurities from the passing liquid, leaving them inside the housing 24. When the housing 24 needs to be cleaned later, the cover plate 28 can be removed. 5. Flip open and clean the inner wall of the housing 24. This step, together with the housing 24, can filter the liquid in the drain tank 12, reduce the turbidity of the liquid in the drain tank 12, solve the problem of frequent liquid replacement by subsequent staff, and reduce water waste. At the same time, the multi-component flow pipe 22 can improve the uniformity of liquid absorption in the water pipe 21, thereby improving the accuracy of liquid treatment in the drain tank 12. The second drain pipe 26 can recycle the liquid transferred to the housing 24.
[0028] like Figure 1-7As shown, a first fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 24; two sets of spring rods 31 are fixedly connected to the middle of the first fixing frame 3; a tray 32 is fixedly connected to the output end of the spring rod 31, and the middle of the tray 32 is arc-shaped; the tray 32 is located near the end of the first drain pipe 23; during operation, the tray 32 is located at the end of the first drain pipe 23, and when there is no liquid discharge from the end of the first drain pipe 23, the tray 32 can make close contact with the end of the first drain pipe 23 under the action of the two sets of spring rods 31, and block the end of the first drain pipe 23. When liquid is discharged from the end of the first drain pipe 23 into the housing 24, the liquid can squeeze the arc-shaped tray 32 and push the output end of the spring rod 31 to retract. This step, together with the tray 32, prevents a lot of turbid liquid from settling on the inner wall of the first drain pipe 23, avoiding troublesome subsequent cleaning. At the same time, the arc shape of the tray 32 can improve the stability of the liquid pushing the tray 32 to move.
[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a second fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the tray 32; an impact ball 41 is fixedly connected to the end of the second fixing frame 4, and the impact ball 41 is positioned close to the frame plate 27; during operation, by setting the second fixing frame 4 at the end of the tray 32, when the tray 32 moves and unfolds, the second fixing frame 4 can be moved synchronously, so that the impact ball 41 moves away from the surface of the frame plate 27 first. When the tray 32 is reset, the impact ball 41 can impact the surface of the frame plate 27. Under the action of the impact, the frame plate 27 and the filter screen 28 can generate some vibration force, and some impurities accumulated on the surface of the filter screen 28 can be cleaned away, reducing the problem of clogging on the surface of the filter screen 28.
[0030] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a third fixing frame 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the frame plate 27; an elastic plate 51 is fixedly connected to the top of the third fixing frame 5, and the elastic plate 51 and the impact ball 41 are set at the same horizontal line; during operation, the third fixing frame 5 is used to support the position of the elastic plate 51, and the impact ball 41 can directly contact the elastic plate 51 when it impacts. The elastic plate 51 used in this step can amplify the generated vibration force, thereby accelerating the cleaning of impurities on the surface of the frame plate 27 and the filter screen 28.
[0031] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a sealing element 6 is fixed to the end of the tray 32, and the sealing element 6 is set on the side close to the first drain pipe 23. During operation, by setting the sealing element 6 at the end of the tray 32, the tray 32 can directly squeeze the soft material sealing element 6 after it is close to the first drain pipe 23. This step can improve the sealing performance of the end of the first drain pipe 23 under the action of the sealing element 6.
[0032] Working principle: After fixing the upper water tank 11 to the support frame 1, an appropriate amount of liquid is transferred into the upper water tank 11 and the lower water tank 12. The real-time water level of the lower water tank 12 is collected by the level sensor 16. The real-time water level value is compared with the stable water level in the programmable controller program to determine whether to start the drainage pump 13 and whether to activate the water level alarm. If the drainage pump 13 is started, the water discharged by the drainage pump 13 is connected to the upper water tank 11; or the gate valve of the upper water tank 11 is opened and the water in the upper water tank 11 flows into the lower water tank 12 through the drain pipe 15. The water in the two test water tanks can be recycled. The electrical control system 17 is set with automatic and manual control drainage programs, which can be switched between automatic and manual control. Under normal circumstances, it operates in automatic control mode. If a malfunction requires maintenance, it can be switched to manual control mode to exit automatic control mode, provided that the safety of the personnel is ensured. After the malfunction is resolved, it can be switched back to automatic control mode. In automatic control mode, the corresponding water pump is started when the real-time stable water level reaches the start-up water pump level. An alarm water level is set in the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) program. When the water level reaches the alarm level, the corresponding water level alarm is activated. A water pump 2 is installed on the inner wall of the lower water tank 12. When there are many impurities in the lower water tank 12, the personnel can start the water pump 2 switch, so that the water pump 2 can draw out liquid and some impurities from the water pipe 21 on one side and the multi-component flow pipe 22 in the middle, and simultaneously drain the liquid from the first drain pipe. One end of the first drain pipe 23 discharges liquid and some impurities, which are then transferred to the housing 24 for collection. This works in conjunction with the second drain pipe 26 in the sink 12, which is above the liquid level. When the liquid level in the housing 24 reaches the second drain pipe 26, excess liquid can pass through the second drain pipe 26 and be transferred back to the sink 12. The filter screen 28 filters out impurities from the passing liquid, leaving them inside the housing 24. When the housing 24 needs cleaning, a tray 32 is provided at the end of the first drain pipe 23. When no liquid is discharged from the end of the first drain pipe 23, the tray 32, under the action of two sets of spring rods 31, can tightly contact the end of the first drain pipe 23, sealing it. Subsequent liquid discharge from the first drain pipe... When the liquid is discharged from end 23 to the housing 24, it can squeeze the arc-shaped tray 32 and push the output end of the spring rod 31 to retract. By providing a second fixing frame 4 at the end of the tray 32, when the tray 32 moves and unfolds, it can simultaneously drive the second fixing frame 4 to move, so that the impact ball 41 moves away from the surface of the frame plate 27 first. When the tray 32 is reset, the impact ball 41 can impact the surface of the frame plate 27. With the help of the third fixing frame 5, the position of the elastic plate 51 is supported. When the impact ball 41 impacts, it can directly contact the elastic plate 51. By providing a sealing element 6 at the end of the tray 32, the tray 32 can directly squeeze the soft material sealing element 6 after it is close to the first drain pipe 23.
