[0027] Please see Figure 1-5A steel cofferdam structure for opening holes in the bottom wall of a water tank includes main beams 101 spaced at equal intervals and a retaining panel 102 connected to the outside of the main beams 101. The retaining panel 102 blocks the water flow in the pond, while the main beams 101 provide lateral support to prevent deformation of the retaining panel 102 due to excessive water pressure. A back tie rod 103 is connected to the inner side of each main beam 101 to reinforce the support. Longitudinal beams 104 are connected to multiple main beams 101 for vertical support. The two ends of the enclosure panel 101 are connected to side beams 105, which are in contact with the pool wall and fit against the pool wall. They are fixed to the pool wall by expansion bolts. The two ends of the enclosure panel 102 are connected to side water-stop components 106, which are used to waterproof the connection between the side beams 105 and the wall to prevent water leakage from the side wall. The bottom of the enclosure panel 102 is connected to a bottom water-stop component 107, which can press against the bottom wall of the pool by its own weight.

[0028] The side water-stop component 106 includes a side water-stop strip 108 and a reinforcing water-stop strip 109. The dual arrangement of the side water-stop strip 108 and the reinforcing water-stop strip 109 provides the side wall with dual waterproofing capabilities. The side water-stop strip 108 and the reinforcing water-stop strip 109 protrude beyond the side beam 105, specifically, the protrusion length is 10mm. The side water-stop strip 108 contacts the enclosure panel 102. The enclosure panel 102 has side fixing plates 110 on both sides. The side fixing plates 110 fix the side water-stop strip 108 and the reinforcing water-stop strip 109 to the enclosure panel 102 with bolts.

[0029] The bottom waterproofing component 107 includes bottom waterproof strips 111 located on both sides of the enclosure panel 102. Two bottom waterproof strips 111 are provided, located on the inner and outer sides of the enclosure panel 102 respectively. The bottom sides of the enclosure panel 102 are provided with inner fixing plates 112 and outer fixing plates 113. The bottom waterproof strips 111 are fixed to the bottom of the enclosure panel 102 by the inner fixing plates 112 and outer fixing plates 113. The inner fixing plates 112 and outer fixing plates 113 are used to fix the bottom waterproof strips 111 to the inner and outer sides of the enclosure panel 102 by bolts.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The reinforcing waterstop strip 109 includes a connecting part 114, a fixing part 115 located at both ends, and a sealing part 116. The reinforcing waterstop strip 109 is used to contact the pool wall. The sealing part 116 is circular and is pressed against the pool wall by the pressure rod 118 to improve the sealing performance. It has a compression margin of 10mm. The sealing part 116 is in contact with the pool wall.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 The two ends of the enclosure panel 102 are connected to reinforcing rods 117, which are welded to the enclosure panel 102. The end of the reinforcing rod 117 is connected to a pressure rod 118, which exerts a squeezing effect on the reinforcing waterstop strip 109 to improve the sealing between the reinforcing waterstop strip 109 and the wall. The pressure rod 118 is in contact with the sealing part 116.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The top of the main beam 101 is connected to a lifting lug 119, which facilitates the hoisting of the equipment into the water tank by a crane.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The side of the enclosure panel 102 away from the side beam 105 is connected to an adjustment ring 120. When it is lifted, the adjustment ring 120 on the side wall can be adjusted to adjust the overall position by ropes, so as to lower it to the designated location.

[0034] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The top of the side beam 105 should be higher than the enclosure panel 102 to facilitate the installation of expansion bolts on the top of the side beam 105.

[0035] In this embodiment, the silt at the bottom of the lowering position is first cleared out, and then the whole unit is hoisted to the designated position by a crane. During this process, the position is adjusted by adjusting the ropes in the adjusting ring 120. After the lowering is placed to the designated position, the water in the area enclosed by the enclosure panel 102 and the wall is pumped out by a water pump. When it is observed that there is no water leakage inside, the side beam 105 is fixed to the wall of the pool by expansion bolts. At this time, construction can be carried out in the enclosed area.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
