Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a dam seepage prevention structure. Background Technology
[0002] A concrete dam is a gravity dam whose entire dam body, except for a few small cavities, is filled with concrete. The upstream face of the dam body is a vertical, inclined, or folded face. High and medium dams are equipped with foundation grouting galleries, which are used for various purposes such as foundation grouting, drainage, safety testing, inspection and maintenance, operation, and traffic within the dam.
[0003] Both the upstream face and the foundation of the dam require seepage prevention treatment. The concrete used for the construction of the seepage prevention layer on the upstream face of the dam has a different composition and curing method than the concrete poured into the dam body. This makes the seepage prevention layer very easy to fall off the outer surface of the dam body, resulting in a decrease in the seepage prevention effect. The dam foundation mainly adopts the method of seepage prevention curtain grouting. Usually, only one seepage prevention curtain is installed. When the seepage prevention curtain is eroded by water for a long time, it is easy to develop cracks, which will cause the seepage prevention curtain to fail and seepage to occur. Utility Model Content

This seepage prevention structure forms a dam seepage prevention system by setting up a seepage prevention panel, a first seepage prevention component and a seepage prevention curtain.

[0029] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0030] For reference Figures 1-9 As shown, this application provides a dam seepage prevention structure to address the problem of poor seepage prevention in concrete dams. The structure includes a dam body 1 and a dam foundation 2. A gallery 3 is provided within the dam body 1, and a seepage prevention curtain 4 is provided within the dam foundation 2. The seepage prevention curtain 4 includes seepage prevention wall panels 41, which are composed of several continuous jet grouting semi-circular piles. A first seepage prevention component 5 is provided at the upstream end of both the dam body 1 and the dam foundation 2, and a seepage prevention panel 6 is provided on the water-retaining side of the dam body 1. The seepage prevention curtain 4, the first seepage prevention component 5, and the seepage prevention panel 6 together form a concrete dam seepage prevention system.
[0031] like Figure 1 Specifically, the first seepage prevention component 5 includes a first groove 51 set upstream of the dam foundation 2. A concrete layer 52 is laid in the first groove 51. A seepage prevention geotextile 53 is laid on the concrete layer 52. A clay waterproof layer 54 is provided on the seepage prevention geotextile 53. A reinforcement layer 55 is provided on the outer wall of the clay waterproof layer 54. A crushed stone layer 56 is connected to the outer wall of the reinforcement layer 55. The crushed stone layer 56 is wrapped with wire mesh to prevent the crushed stone from being scattered by the water flow. The first seepage prevention component 5 enhances the seepage prevention performance at the connection between the dam body 1 and the dam foundation 2, and also improves the erosion resistance of the connection between the dam body 1 and the dam foundation 2, thus slowing down the erosion rate of the water flow on the dam body 1 and the dam foundation 2.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the seepage-proof panel 6 is used to protect the dam body 1. The seepage-proof panel 6 includes multiple upper plates 61, lower plates 62, and multiple intermediate plates 63 connecting the upper plates 61 and lower plates 62. The seepage-proof panel 6 is assembled, which facilitates the replacement of damaged plates during subsequent maintenance, reduces costs, and avoids waste. The upper plates 61 and lower plates 62 are provided with protrusions 7, and the protrusions 7 are provided with through holes. The dam body 1 is provided with a connecting mechanism 8, which is used to connect the seepage-proof panel 6 and the dam body 1. The connecting mechanism 8 includes a second groove 81 corresponding to the protrusions 7 on the dam body 1, and vertically adjacent second grooves 81 are connected by through holes 82. After the seepage-proof panel 6 is assembled, the protrusions 7 are inserted into the second grooves 81, and then the connecting rods 83 are inserted into the through holes and through holes 82 on the protrusions 7 to achieve a close connection between the seepage-proof panel 6 and the water-retaining side of the dam body 1. The upper end of the connecting rod 83 is provided with a threaded end to connect with the dam body 1.
[0033] Specific examples Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the upper plate 61, lower plate 62 and middle plate 63 are right-angled trapezoids when viewed from above. Both sides are symmetrically provided with L-shaped locking blocks 9. The L-shaped locking blocks 9 are connected to each other by a connecting block 10. The inner wall of the connecting block 10 is provided with a waterproof coating. The horizontal adjacent plates are connected left and right by the connecting block 10.
[0034] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this application provides two methods for connecting vertically adjacent plates. The first method is as follows: Figure 8 and Figure 9 The upper plate 61, lower plate 62, and middle plate 63 all have slots on their lower ends. Each slot has a sliding groove that allows for left and right sliding with a hook 11 equipped with a slider. The hook 11 is equipped with a lead screw 12 that passes through the slot and is rotatably connected to the slot at one end. The other end of the lead screw 12 is rotatably connected to an embedded fixed nut and has a hexagonal groove 121 at the end of the lead screw 12. This groove allows an external rotating rod to be inserted to rotate the lead screw 12. The rotation of the lead screw 12 moves the hook 11, and the movement of the hook 11 causes the spring to unfold or compress. The hook 11 is L-shaped, and a telescopic block 13 is provided at the upper end of the short side of the hook 11. The telescopic block 13 is inclined. The upper end faces of both sides of the upper plate 61, lower plate 62 and middle plate 63 are provided with a cavity 14 and a right-angle notch 15. The end face of the cavity 14 facing the right-angle notch 15 is provided with an opening 16, and the upper end face of the opening 16 is inclined. When vertically adjacent plates are connected, the hook 11 can be inserted into the cavity 14. Then, by rotating the screw 12, the hook 11 can move laterally. The telescopic block 13 contacts the inner wall of the opening 16. The lateral movement will compress downward by the inclined surface of the upper end face of the opening 16, so that the short side of the hook 11 can extend out of the opening 16. After it extends out of the opening 16, the telescopic block 13 will return to its original position and extend upward to achieve the locking.
[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second method is as follows: The upper surface of the intermediate plate 63 and the upper surface of the lower plate 62 are provided with a first slope 17, and a limiting groove 19 is provided at the bottom of the first slope 17. The lower surface of the intermediate plate 63 and the lower surface of the upper plate 61 are provided with corresponding second slopes 18, which fit snugly against the first slope 17. The lower surface of the intermediate plate 63 and the lower surface of the upper plate 61 are provided with limiting strips 20 corresponding to the limiting plates. A bolt connection is provided between the limiting strip 20 and the limiting groove 19. The limiting strip 20 has an embedded nut, which is threaded through the limiting groove 19 and connected to the nut via a threaded rod. The bolt connection between the limiting strip 20 and the limiting groove 19 enables a detachable connection between vertically adjacent plates, ensuring a firm connection between the plates.
[0036] Furthermore, to prevent water from seeping into the dam body 1 through the transverse joints, a first slope 17 is provided on the upper end face of the intermediate plate 63 and the upper end face of the lower plate 62. A limiting groove 19 is provided at the bottom of the first slope 17. A second slope 18 is provided on the lower end face of the intermediate plate 63 and the lower end face of the upper plate 61 corresponding to the first slope 17, and the second slope 18 is in close contact with the first slope 17. An expansion water-stop strip is provided on the lower end face of the intermediate plate 63 and the upper plate 61 corresponding to the limiting groove 19. When water seeps in through the transverse joints, it will first come into contact with the expansion water-stop strip. When the expansion water-stop strip comes into contact with water... To prevent more water from seeping in through the horizontal seams, some of the seeping water will accumulate in the limiting groove 19 and needs to be discharged in time. Therefore, a drainage pipe 21 is provided between vertically adjacent limiting grooves 19, and a water collection cavity 22 is provided inside the lower plate 62. The water collection cavity 22 is connected to a pumping pipe 23. The pumping pipe 23 can be connected to an external water pump through the first groove 51 and the through hole 82 of the dam body 1, or a vertical channel is provided for the pumping pipe 23 to pass through and connect to an external water pump (the vertical channel is shown in the figure of this application) to realize pumping and drainage.

Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model.
