Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, specifically to a side pier structure. Background Technology

[0002] A gate slot is a structural component used to install and guide a gate. It is typically a groove or frame and is used in water conservancy projects, pumping stations, canals, and other similar facilities. The main function of the gate slot is to provide a stable installation position for the gate and ensure smooth movement during opening and closing.

[0003] In existing multi-hole sluice gates, a gate slot needs to be installed on the side of the pier facing the central pier. Commonly, this gate slot is made of concrete, which occupies a significant amount of space on the pier, increasing its overall thickness. Furthermore, the gate slot is susceptible to corrosion from water flow and sediment, exhibiting poor durability and lacking self-repair capabilities. Severe corrosion can render the gate slot unusable and hinders maintenance. When maintenance is required, the entire gate slot must be removed, and a new one re-installed and cast. This process can easily damage the pier's structure, making both installation and removal extremely difficult.

[0004] Therefore, the structure of the gate slot in the prior art has room for further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, and considering the problems in the existing technology where gate slots easily lead to an increase in the overall thickness of the gate pier, making maintenance and disassembly difficult, construction processes complex, and construction periods long, this application provides a side pier structure. By changing the structure of the gate slot, the overall width of the gate slot is made the same as the width of the gate pier, which can effectively reduce the thickness of the side pier, thereby reducing the width of the sluice gate bottom plate. After comprehensive optimization, the amount of reinforced concrete used is reduced, saving materials and costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a side pier structure, comprising:

[0007] Side pier gate slot, wherein the side pier gate slot is located on the side of the side pier facing the central pier;

[0008] The side pier gate slot includes a support member and a slot body. The support member is fixedly connected to the side pier, and the slot body at least partially cooperates with the support member to achieve a movable connection between the slot body and the support member.

[0009] The side of the support member away from the trough is flush with the side of the side pier facing the central pier.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this invention includes a side pier gate slot, which provides necessary support for the gate, ensuring that the gate can be stably maintained in the proper position during opening and closing. The slot connects the support member to the side pier, forming an integral structure that enhances the stability of the gate. The side pier structure of this application features a support member and a slot, with the support member movably connected to the slot. This allows for easy disassembly and installation of the side pier gate slot when maintenance or component replacement is required. After disposal, it can be 100% disassembled, reducing the overall thickness of the gate pier, reducing waste, and conforming to the concept of sustainable development. It is easy to operate, saves materials and costs, and the side of the support member away from the slot is flush with the side of the side pier facing the central pier, further reducing the overall thickness of the side pier, extending the service life of the side pier gate slot, facilitating maintenance and disassembly, and simplifying the construction process of the side pier gate slot, resulting in simpler procedures and a shorter construction period.

[0011] Preferably, the support includes a first reinforcing plate and two parallel second reinforcing plates, with the two ends of the first reinforcing plate connected to the ends of the two second reinforcing plates respectively, and the other two ends of the second reinforcing plates extending away from the groove.

[0012] The side of the second reinforcing plate away from the trough is flush with the side of the side pier facing the central pier.

[0013] In this embodiment, the side of the second reinforcing plate away from the trough is flush with the side of the side pier facing the central pier, which means that the width of the reinforcing plate is the same as the width of the side pier. This can reduce the thickness of the side pier, thereby reducing the load on the bottom plate of the sluice gate. It can effectively reduce the width of the bottom plate of the sluice gate. After comprehensive optimization, it can reduce the amount of reinforced concrete used, saving materials and costs.

[0014] Preferably, the first reinforcing plate is provided with at least two first protrusions, and the second reinforcing plate is provided with at least one second protrusion. Both the first and second protrusions cooperate with the groove to achieve a detachable connection between the support member and the groove.

[0015] In this embodiment, the detachable connection allows the support components to be easily disassembled and installed when maintenance or replacement is required. After being scrapped, they can be 100% disassembled, reducing waste and conforming to the concept of sustainable development. The operation is convenient and saves materials and costs.

[0016] Preferably, the groove body is provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove, the first mounting groove being correspondingly provided with a first protrusion, and the second mounting groove being correspondingly provided with a second protrusion;

[0017] The first mounting groove engages with the first protrusion, and the second mounting groove engages with the second protrusion to fix the support member to the groove.

[0018] In this embodiment, the first mounting groove and the first protrusion cooperate to make the connection between the support and the groove more secure, which can withstand the greater force of the gate, enhance the strength of the side pier gate groove, and extend the service life of the side pier gate groove.

[0019] Preferably, the first mounting groove is provided with a first groove, and the first protrusion is provided with a second groove. The first groove protrudes in a direction away from the support member, and the second groove is recessed in a direction away from the side block. The diameters of the first groove and the second groove are the same.

[0020] After the support is connected to the tank, the first groove and the second groove form a seepage-proof hole.

[0021] In this embodiment, the seepage prevention holes are reserved in advance during the construction process to reduce the risk of leakage between the old and new concrete surfaces. They can fill the gaps between the old and new concrete, strengthen the bonding surface, and reduce the possibility of water penetration.

[0022] Preferably, the groove body is further provided with a plurality of first connecting ribs and a plurality of second connecting ribs. The first connecting ribs and the second connecting ribs extend in a direction away from the support member. A single first connecting rib is provided with a single first groove, and a single second connecting rib is provided with a single second groove.

[0023] In this embodiment, when the gate is opened or closed, the first connecting rib can strengthen the strength of the first groove, and the second connecting rib can strengthen the strength of the second groove. At the same time, it can also provide additional support for the groove, disperse the load applied to the gate groove of the side pier, transfer the load to the side pier, and improve the bearing capacity of the gate groove of the side pier.

[0024] Preferably, the support further includes a protective plate, which is connected to the second reinforcing plate. The protective plate is located on the side of the second reinforcing plate near the gate, and the end of the protective plate away from the first reinforcing plate is flush with the end of the second reinforcing plate.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the gate is opened or closed, the protective plate contacts the gate. The protective plate can replace the support member in contacting the gate, thereby reducing the wear caused by friction between the gate and the support member and extending the service life of the gate slot.

[0026] Preferably, there is a gap between the first protrusion and the first mounting groove, the gap being 3 to 5 mm, and the gap is filled with highly elastic silicone material;

[0027] A gap is provided between the second protrusion and the second mounting groove, the gap being 3 to 5 mm, and the gap is filled with highly elastic silicone material.

[0028] In this embodiment, by reserving a width of 3-5 mm, the changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the high-elasticity silicone material can be effectively addressed. The high-elasticity silicone material is a material with good elasticity and elongation, which can maintain its shape and performance when stretched or compressed. The elongation of the high-elasticity silicone material is ≥300%, which means that the high-elasticity silicone material can stretch to a large extent without breaking, thereby preventing damage or deformation of the high-elasticity silicone material due to excessive force, improving the stability of the overall structure, and extending its service life.

[0029] Preferably, the first protrusion is a dovetail tenon structure and the second protrusion is a dovetail tenon structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, the dovetail tenon structure has good pull-out resistance, which can strengthen the strength between the side abutment and the trough, so that the side abutment and the trough can withstand greater tensile and shear forces.

[0031] Preferably, the first reinforcing plate and the second reinforcing plate are made of alloy material, and the surfaces of the first reinforcing plate and the second reinforcing plate are provided with an epoxy coating.

[0032] In this embodiment, the epoxy coating on the surface of the first and second reinforcing plates wears down after prolonged friction with the gate. When the epoxy coating wears down and cracks, it releases nano-silica particles to automatically fill the defects and improve the durability of the gate slot on the side pier.

[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the following detailed, clear, and complete description of this disclosure is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it.

[0043] In the description of this application, the use of "first" and "second" is for the purpose of distinguishing technical features only, and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or the order of the technical features indicated.

[0044] Those skilled in the art should understand that in the disclosure of this application, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0045] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, see below. Figures 1 to 2 illustrate.

[0046] This embodiment provides a side pier structure, which is applied in the field of hydraulic engineering technology, such as... Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the gate includes a side pier gate slot 1, which is located on the side of the side pier facing the central pier. The side pier gate slot 1 provides necessary support for the gate, ensuring that the gate can be stably maintained in the appropriate position during opening and closing. The side pier gate slot 1 includes a support member 11 and a slot body 12. The slot body 12 is fixedly connected to the side pier and movably connected to the support member 11. The slot body 12 at least partially cooperates with the support member 11 to realize the connection between the slot body 12 and the support member 11. The cooperation between the slot body 12 and the support member 11 ensures an effective connection between the two, enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the side pier gate slot 1. The outer layer of the trough 12 is made of high-strength stainless steel, which can protect the trough 12 from damage and withstand the impact and pressure of the gate. The middle layer of the trough 12 is made of basalt fiber reinforced material. When the side pier gate slot 1 is subjected to impact or vibration, the basalt fiber reinforced material can absorb and disperse energy, reduce damage to the side pier gate slot 1, and improve the overall impact resistance of the side pier gate slot 1. The inner layer of the trough 12 is made of self-healing coating, which can automatically repair when there are micro cracks or damage on the coating surface, prevent crack propagation, thereby improving the durability of the trough 12 and extending the service life of the side pier gate slot 1.

[0047] Among them, the side of the support member 11 away from the channel 12 is flush with the side of the side pier facing the central pier, indicating that the width of the side pier gate slot 1 is the same as the width of the side pier. That is, the end of the support member 11 away from the channel 12 is in the same straight line as the outer edge of the side pier. This can reduce the thickness of the side pier, thereby reducing the load on the sluice gate bottom plate. It can effectively reduce the width of the sluice gate bottom plate. After comprehensive optimization, it can reduce the amount of reinforced concrete used, saving materials and costs.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support member 11 includes a first reinforcing plate 111 and two parallel second reinforcing plates 112. The two ends of the first reinforcing plate 111 are perpendicularly connected to the ends of the two second reinforcing plates 112, respectively. The other two ends of the second reinforcing plates 112 extend away from the trough 12, meaning the connection angle between the first reinforcing plate 111 and the second reinforcing plates 112 is 90°. The first reinforcing plate 111 and the two second reinforcing plates 112 are connected to form a groove. The groove faces the side of the central pier, and one end of the gate is installed in the groove and connected to the gate slot 1 of the side pier, which improves the support for the gate. The side of the second reinforcing plate 112 away from the trough 12 is flush with the side of the side pier facing the central pier, meaning the width of the reinforcing plate is the same as the width of the side pier. This reduces the thickness of the side pier, thereby reducing the load on the sluice gate bottom plate and effectively reducing the width of the sluice gate bottom plate. After comprehensive optimization, this reduces the amount of reinforced concrete used, saving materials and costs.

[0049] Among them, the first reinforcing plate 111 and the second reinforcing plate 112 are made of alloy materials. The surface of the first reinforcing plate 111 and the second reinforcing plate 112 is coated with an epoxy coating containing microcapsules. After long-term friction with the gate, wear occurs. After the epoxy coating wears and cracks, it releases nano-silica particles to automatically fill the defects and improve the durability of the side pier gate slot 1.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the first reinforcing plate 111 has at least two first protrusions 1111, and the second reinforcing plate 112 has at least one second protrusion 1121. Both the first protrusions 1111 and the second protrusion 1121 cooperate with the groove 12 to achieve a detachable connection between the support member 11 and the groove 12. This detachable connection allows the support member 11 to be easily disassembled and installed when maintenance or replacement is required. After being scrapped, it can be 100% disassembled, reducing waste and conforming to the concept of sustainable development. It is also convenient to operate and saves materials and costs. The first protrusion 1111 and the second protrusion 1121 are both dovetail tenon structures. The dovetail tenon structure has good pull-out resistance and can strengthen the strength between the side block and the groove 12, enabling the side block and the groove 12 to withstand greater tensile and shear forces.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the groove 12 is provided with a first mounting groove 121 and a second mounting groove 122. The first mounting groove 121 is correspondingly set with the first protrusion 1111, and the second mounting groove 122 is correspondingly set with the second protrusion 1121. The first mounting groove 121 and the first protrusion 1111 cooperate, and the second mounting groove 122 and the second protrusion 1121 cooperate to fix the support member 11 to the groove 12, making the connection between the support member 11 and the groove 12 more solid, able to withstand greater forces from the gate, enhancing the strength of the side gate groove 1, and extending the service life of the side gate groove 1. The size of the first mounting groove 121 is adapted to the size of the first protrusion 1111, and the size of the second mounting groove 122 is adapted to the size of the second protrusion 1121, ensuring precise docking between the support member 11 and the groove 12, reducing errors during installation, and improving the stability and safety of the overall structure.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting groove 121 has a first groove 1211, and the first protrusion 1111 has a second groove 11111. The first groove 1211 protrudes away from the support member 11, and the second groove 11111 is recessed away from the side pier. The diameters of the first groove 1211 and the second groove 11111 are the same. After the support member 11 is connected to the groove body 12, the first groove 1211 and the second groove 11111 form a seepage-proof hole. The seepage-proof hole is reserved in advance during construction to reduce the risk of leakage between the old and new concrete surfaces. It can fill the gaps between the old and new concrete, strengthen the bonding surface, and reduce the possibility of water penetration. Similarly, the second mounting groove 122 also has a first groove 1211, and the second protrusion 1121 also has a second groove 11111. After the support member 11 is connected to the groove body 12, the first groove 1211 and the second groove 11111 form a seepage-proof hole.

[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the channel 12 is also provided with a plurality of first connecting ribs 123 and a plurality of second connecting ribs 124. The first connecting ribs 123 and the second connecting ribs 124 extend in the direction away from the support member 11. A single first connecting rib 123 is provided with a single first groove 1211, and a single second connecting rib 124 is provided with a single second groove 11111. When the gate is opened or closed, the first connecting rib 123 can strengthen the strength of the first groove 1211, and the second connecting rib 124 can strengthen the strength of the second groove 11111. At the same time, it can also provide additional support for the channel 12, disperse the load applied to the side pier gate slot 1, transfer the load to the side pier, and improve the bearing capacity of the side pier gate slot 1.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support member 11 also includes a protective plate 113. The protective plate 113 is made of alloy material, but in this embodiment, it can be made of steel. The protective plate 113 is connected to the second reinforcing plate 112. The protective plate 113 is located on the side of the second reinforcing plate 112 that is close to the gate. The end of the protective plate 113 away from the first reinforcing plate 111 is flush with the end of the second reinforcing plate 112, which can reduce the amount of reinforced concrete used in the gate pier. When the gate is opened or closed, the protective plate 113 contacts the gate. The protective plate 113 can replace the support member 11 in contacting the gate, thereby reducing the wear caused by friction between the gate and the support member 11 and extending the service life of the gate slot.

[0055] Furthermore, a gap of 3-5 mm is provided between the first protrusion 1111 and the first mounting groove 121, and the gap is filled with high-elasticity silicone material. A gap of 3-5 mm is also provided between the second protrusion 1121 and the second mounting groove 122, and the gap is filled with high-elasticity silicone material. This gap is an expansion joint, and its width is 3-5 mm. The gap is set to allow the material to expand or contract freely when the temperature changes. By reserving a width of 3-5 mm, the changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the high-elasticity silicone material can be effectively coped with. High-elasticity silicone material is a material with good elasticity and elongation. It can maintain its shape and performance when stretched or compressed. The elongation of high-elasticity silicone material is ≥300%, which means that the high-elasticity silicone material can stretch to a large extent without breaking, thereby preventing damage or deformation of the high-elasticity silicone material due to excessive force, improving the stability of the overall structure, and extending its service life.

[0056] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
