Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground structure design for water conservancy and hydropower projects, specifically a ventilation tunnel layout structure for reducing the construction cycle of underground powerhouses in pumped storage power stations. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of pumped storage power stations, the underground powerhouse is the core structure, used to house generator sets, main transformers, and auxiliary equipment. Its construction period directly impacts the overall project progress and construction costs. Currently, the construction of the underground powerhouse's roof arch commonly employs a single-sided ventilation and safety tunnel. This ventilation tunnel must simultaneously serve as a transport channel for excavated soil during construction and an air intake channel, while also functioning as an air intake channel and safety escape exit during operation. In actual projects, unidirectional excavation of the roof arch not only prolongs the construction period but also leads to excessively high wind speeds due to the single ventilation load. Finally, a single escape route also poses safety hazards during operation. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a ventilation tunnel layout structure that reduces the construction period of the underground powerhouse of a pumped storage power station, thereby overcoming the problems of low construction efficiency and long construction period caused by the traditional single-sided ventilation tunnel layout.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a ventilation tunnel layout structure for reducing the construction period of the underground powerhouse of a pumped storage power station, including an auxiliary powerhouse tunnel, an installation site tunnel, and a main unit tunnel. The auxiliary powerhouse tunnel and the installation site tunnel are respectively set at both ends of the main unit tunnel. One end of the auxiliary powerhouse tunnel is provided with a ventilation and safety tunnel connecting its interior and the ground. One end of the installation site tunnel is provided with a powerhouse ventilation branch tunnel connecting its interior and the ventilation and safety tunnel, forming a dual-channel closed-loop network.

[0005] The top elevation of the auxiliary plant cave is the same as the top elevation of the installation site cave and the main unit room cave to ensure the overall coordination of the cave structure.

[0006] The top elevation of the auxiliary plant tunnel is the same as the top elevation of the connecting tunnel section of the ventilation and safety tunnel, which allows the ventilation and safety tunnel to be directly connected to the top arch of the auxiliary plant tunnel, facilitating the transportation of excavated soil during construction and ventilation during operation.

[0007] The top elevation of the installation site tunnel is the same as the top elevation of the connecting tunnel to the ventilation branch tunnel of the plant, ensuring that the ventilation branch tunnel of the plant can be effectively connected to the top arch position of the installation site tunnel, so as to achieve simultaneous excavation on both sides.

[0008] The top elevation of the connecting section of the ventilation and safety tunnel is the same as the top elevation of the connecting tunnel of the factory ventilation branch tunnel, so as to ensure smooth airflow transition in the connecting section of the two tunnels and reduce ventilation resistance.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By arranging a ventilation branch tunnel connected to the ventilation and safety tunnel on one side of the installation site, a dual-channel structure is formed that connects to the arches at both ends of the underground plant. The simultaneous excavation from both sides is used for the construction of the plant's arches, effectively overcoming the low efficiency of traditional unidirectional excavation. This significantly shortens the overall construction period, saves on project investment, optimizes ventilation, and improves safety during construction and operation. Attached Figure Description
