Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drainage culvert technology, and in particular to the structure of L-shaped interchange drainage culvert. Background Technology
[0002] Water conveyance culverts are commonly used structures in water conveyance projects, especially in mountainous and sloping water conveyance projects. When upstream water flows downstream and encounters transverse rivers, railways, highways, or other structures, the common practice in existing technology is to construct the water conveyance culvert as a U-shaped inverted siphon that passes under the transverse structure. The inlet and outlet sections of the U-shaped inverted siphon are vertically set, while the underpass section is horizontally set.
[0003] like Figure 1 The existing inverted siphon-type drainage culvert U-shaped structure, as shown, introduces water into the horizontal section below through the upstream vertical section and then discharges it through the downstream vertical section. In practical applications, this presents the following problems:
[0004] 1. The flow of water in the U-shaped structure of the inverted siphon drainage culvert has disadvantages such as turbulent flow, poor flow, and large head loss.
[0005] 2. It can easily cause siltation in the upstream and downstream vertical sections and the downstream horizontal section;
[0006] 3. Clearing blockages is difficult, and severe blockages can easily lead to project failure;
[0007] 4. Complex structure, difficult construction, and inconvenient management and operation.
[0008] Therefore, how to solve the problems of turbulent water flow, poor water flow, large head loss, and easy siltation in the existing U-shaped structure of inverted siphon drainage culvert has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0015] Preferably, expansion joints and embedded water-stopping devices are provided between the upper end of the upstream vertical culvert and the upstream channel, between the underpass horizontal culvert and the horizontal extension culvert, and between the horizontal extension culvert and the downstream channel.
[0016] Preferably, each of the expansion joints is filled with an elastic material to form a seal.
[0017] More preferably, the expansion joint between the underpass horizontal culvert and the horizontal extension culvert is provided with a rigid seal.
