Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum pumping technology for dewatering wells, and in particular to an automatic control method for vacuum degree of dewatering in pipe wells. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum well dewatering, a common method for foundation pit drainage, is widely applicable to soil layers with low permeability, such as fine sand, silt, and silty clay. Vacuum well dewatering involves drilling and installing dewatering wells in advance. A manually controlled vacuum pump is used to lower the air pressure inside the wellhead compared to atmospheric pressure, causing groundwater to flow into the well more rapidly. The pump then extracts the water, thus lowering the groundwater level around the foundation pit. In vacuum well dewatering, the vacuum value of the well has a significant impact on water seepage; therefore, setting the vacuum value is crucial for the efficiency of vacuum well dewatering.
[0003] The existing technology of controlling the vacuum degree of the well by fixing the vacuum threshold cannot adapt to dynamic geological conditions. Different geological materials at different depths in the well have different water content and seepage capacity, which means that different vacuum pressures need to be matched to the surface at different heights in the well. This results in problems such as vacuum pump response lag, low working efficiency due to insufficient vacuum pressure, or high energy consumption due to excessive vacuum pumping.

[0027] This utility model provides an automatic control device for dewatering vacuum in a well, comprising a guide rail 8, a suspended reflector 9, a distance sensor 7, a well cap 13, a pumping mechanism, and a vacuuming mechanism. The guide rail 8 is installed inside the well and connected to the inner wall of the well. The suspended reflector 9 is slidably connected to the guide rail 8 and floats on the water surface.

It achieves dynamic control of vacuum pressure according to the liquid level height and avoids the waste of energy caused by excessive vacuum pressure.
[0028] The guide rail 8 is parallel to the axis of the well. The vacuuming mechanism includes an air compressor 6 and a suction pipe 1. The air compressor 6 is located on the ground and connected to the suction pipe 1, which passes through the well cap 13 and extends into the well. The vacuuming mechanism also includes a signal converter 3, a controller 4, and a pressure gauge 5. The signal converter 3, controller 4, and pressure gauge 5 are all connected to the surface of the air compressor 6. The signal converter 3 is electrically connected to the distance sensor 7 and the controller 4, respectively. The controller 4 is electrically connected to the air compressor 6 and is used to control the start, stop, and power of the air compressor 6. The pressure gauge 5 is electrically connected to the controller 4 and is used to detect the pressure inside the air compressor 6. A transmission line 2 is provided between the signal converter 3 and the distance sensor 7. The two ends of the transmission line 2 are connected to the signal converter 3 and the distance sensor 7, respectively, and the transmission line 2 passes through the well cap 13. The pumping mechanism includes a pump 10 and a drain pipe 11. The pump 10 is fixed at the bottom of the well, and its outlet is connected to the drain pipe 11, which extends out of the well via a cap 13. The pumping mechanism also includes a power cable 12, one end of which is connected to the pump 10, and the other end extends out of the well via the cap 13. The power cable 12 supplies power to the pump 10. The guide rail is constructed of I-beams. One side of the suspended reflector 9 has a through hole, and the other side of the through hole has an opening. The guide rail is inserted into and connected to the through hole. A first soil layer 15, a second soil layer 16, a third soil layer 17, a fourth soil layer 18, and a fifth soil layer 19 are arranged around the well. These layers are stacked sequentially along the axis of the well. A well pipe 14 is installed inside the well. A guide rail is connected to the inner wall of the well pipe 14. The axis of the well pipe 14 coincides with the axis of the well. The outer side of the well pipe 14 abuts against the inner wall of the well.
[0029] The operation steps provided in some embodiments of this utility model are as follows:
[0030] Step 1: Drill holes in the original ground and install 14 dewatering well pipes;
[0031] Step 2: Install guide rail 8 on well pipe 14, first install movable floating reflector 9 on guide rail 8, and then install distance sensor 7 on top of guide rail 8;
[0032] Step 3: Place a water pump 10 in the well;
[0033] Step 4: Make openings in the well cap 13 for the air compressor 6 extraction pipe 1, data transmission line 2, drainage pipe 11, and power line 12, and install the corresponding pipelines. After all pipelines are connected, cover the well cap 13 on the top of the well pipe 14 and seal all openings tightly.
[0034] Step 5: Based on the characteristics of different soil layers, preset the vacuum value at different water levels using the air compressor 6 controller 4;
[0035] Step Six: After the water pump 10 is powered on, it will begin to lower the water level.
[0036] Step 7: The distance sensor 7 starts working. After detecting the reflected signal of the movable floating reflector 9, it transmits the data to the photoelectric signal converter 3 through the data transmission line 2. The processed signal enters the air compressor 6 controller 4 to control the variable frequency air compressor 6 to reach the predetermined vacuum value.
[0037] Step 8: When the vacuum pressure gauge 5 controller 4 detects that the well vacuum value reaches the vacuum value described in step 5, the variable frequency air compressor 6 stops working; when the vacuum pressure gauge 5 controller 4 detects that the well vacuum value is less than the vacuum value described in step 5, the variable frequency air compressor 6 starts working.
[0038] Step 9: Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 above until precipitation is complete.
[0039] Some embodiments of this invention employ a combination of a distance sensor, a photoelectric signal converter 3, an air compressor 6 controller 4, and a variable frequency air compressor 6 to preset well vacuum values at different soil layer heights. As the water level drops, the data generated by the distance sensor can be converted into a signal to control the variable frequency air compressor 6, thereby adjusting the well vacuum value. Furthermore, the presence of the vacuum pressure gauge 5 controller 4 allows for real-time monitoring of the well vacuum level; when the vacuum value reaches the predetermined design value, the variable frequency air compressor 6 stops working. This invention precisely sets the internal vacuum value of the well for different soil layers, reducing energy consumption; it achieves automatic control of the internal vacuum value of the well, reducing manual labor; and it employs a dual-insurance mechanism of vacuum pressure gauge 5 controller 4 + variable frequency air compressor 6 to avoid the risk of system overload.
[0040] Some embodiments of this utility model employ a movable suspended reflector 9 and a distance sensor 7 to achieve intelligent control of the pipe diameter working status, dynamically sense water level changes, and provide parameter basis for adjusting the pipe diameter vacuum value.
[0041] Some embodiments of this utility model utilize the air compressor 6 controller 4 to set the vacuum value for different soil layers, optimize the working efficiency of the air compressor 6, and avoid the long-term full-load working state of the vacuum dewatering air compressor 6 in traditional technical solutions.
[0042] Some embodiments of this utility model utilize a dual-insurance mechanism of vacuum pressure gauge 5, controller 4, and variable frequency air compressor 6, which changes the situation in traditional technical solutions where the vacuum dewatering equipment does not work in time due to "untimely inspection of equipment working status". This solves the problem of excessively high local water levels in soil layers such as fine sand, silt, and silty clay, while avoiding equipment overload.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
