Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology, specifically a structure for raising water conservancy and hydropower embankments. Background Technology
[0002] Water is a fundamental element for human survival, and electricity is a major energy source for social development. Hydropower engineering is a particularly important type of engineering, based on the study of the natural characteristics of water, using engineering or non-engineering measures to regulate and utilize water resources. Hydropower plays a significant role in social development and human production and daily life. The construction of dikes is a common component of hydropower projects. Dikes prevent the overflow and flooding of rivers, lakes, and tides, protecting residents and industrial and agricultural production. During periods of heavy rainfall, dikes need to be reinforced to prevent the potential impact of rapidly rising water levels on human life and production.
[0003] However, the current methods for raising the height of water conservancy and hydropower embankments are inefficient due to the large number of bolts required during installation. To address this issue, a new method for raising the height of water conservancy and hydropower embankments is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a structure for raising water conservancy and hydropower dikes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A water conservancy and hydropower embankment heightening structure includes multiple columns evenly arranged along the embankment side. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of each column and bolted to the embankment. Slots are provided on both sides of each column, and a first baffle is positioned between the columns. Multiple second baffles are sequentially arranged on top of the first baffles. Locking strips are provided on both sides of the first and second baffles, engaging in the slots on the columns. A rotating rod is positioned at the top of each column, with its threaded portion threaded into a threaded hole at the top of the column. A handle is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod, and a connecting sleeve is rotatably sleeved on the rotating rod. Connecting arms are symmetrically fixedly connected to the connecting sleeves, and locking sleeves are fixedly connected to the ends of the connecting arms, engaging the top of the uppermost second baffle.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: slots are provided on the top of the first baffle and the second baffle, and a plug is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second baffle, with the plug inserted into the adjacent slot.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first baffle.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the side of the first baffle near the water surface by bolts, and the bottom of the L-shaped plate is in contact with the top surface of the embankment.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: lifting grooves are symmetrically provided on the outer sides of the first baffle and the second baffle.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a support rod is provided on the side of the column away from the water surface, and a first connecting seat is hinged to the top of the support rod by a pin. The first connecting seat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the column by bolts. A second connecting seat is hinged to the bottom of the support rod by a pin. The second connecting seat is fixedly installed on the dam by bolts.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. In use, the column is placed along the edge of the embankment by a base plate fixedly connected to its bottom end. The first and second baffles are engaged with the slots on the side wall of the column by the locking strips at both ends. The base plate is then fixedly connected to the embankment by bolts. By rotating the rotating rod with the handle, the threaded part of the rotating rod enters the threaded hole in the column. The rotating rod moves downward with the connecting sleeve. The connecting sleeve engages with the top of the second baffle through the connecting arm, thereby quickly fixing the first and second baffles and thus achieving rapid installation of the device.
[0014] 2. When the water level is too high, the water above the dam will squeeze the first and second baffles between the columns. At the same time, the horizontal surface of the L-shaped plate is subjected to water pressure, which applies a force in another direction to the heightened structure. Meanwhile, the first connecting seat connected to the top of the support rod is connected to the column by bolts, and the second connecting seat connected to the bottom of the support rod is fixed to the dam by bolts, thereby supporting the column and increasing the stability of the heightened structure.

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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a water conservancy and hydropower embankment heightening structure includes multiple columns 1, which are evenly arranged along the embankment. A base plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each column 1 and is bolted to the embankment. Slots 10 are provided on both sides of each column 1, and a first baffle 2 is provided between the columns 1. Multiple second baffles 3 are sequentially provided on the top of the first baffle 2. Clips 11 are provided on both sides of the first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 and are engaged in the slots 10 of the columns 1. A rotating rod 13 is provided on the top of each column 1. The threaded part of the rotating rod 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the top of the column 1. A handle 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating rod 13. A connecting sleeve 16 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating rod 13. A connecting arm 15 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve 16. A sleeve 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting arm 15 and is engaged on the top of the uppermost second baffle 3.
[0022] In use, the column 1 is placed on the edge of the embankment by the base plate 9 fixedly connected to its bottom end. The first baffle 2 and the second baffle 3 are engaged with the slots 10 opened on the side wall of the column 1 by the locking strips 11 set at both ends. Then, the base plate 9 is fixedly connected to the embankment by bolts. By rotating the rotating rod 13 by the handle 14, the threaded part of the rotating rod 13 enters the threaded hole opened in the column 1. The rotating rod 13 moves downward with the connecting sleeve 16.
