Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a bridge and culvert drainage device, belonging to the field of bridge and culvert facilities. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge and culvert drainage is a crucial aspect of bridge and culvert engineering. Bridges and culverts are constantly exposed to the natural environment, where rainwater and groundwater can corrode their structures. Poor drainage allows water to seep into the concrete, leading to steel corrosion, concrete spalling, reduced structural strength, and impacting the bridge's lifespan and safety. Water accumulation in bridges and culverts also hinders vehicle traffic. Drainage systems, consisting of submersible pumps and other components, are constructed at the lowest point of the bridge or culvert. These pumps remove accumulated water. However, deeper drainage wells require personnel to descend to the bottom for inspection. Since drainage wells are often poorly ventilated, personnel entering them may experience poisoning or oxygen deprivation, posing a safety risk. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a bridge and culvert drainage device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model realizes forced ventilation of deep drainage wells and improves the safety of personnel going down into the drainage wells.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a bridge and culvert drainage device, including a drainage well, a top cover installed on the top of the drainage well, an inlet and outlet installed on the upper surface of the top cover, a detachable cover plate installed inside the inlet and outlet, multiple submersible pumps installed at the bottom of the drainage well, an inlet pipe installed on the lower outer surface of the drainage well, a vertical hole opened on the side of the top surface of the top cover away from the inlet and outlet, a vertical pipe installed in the vertical hole, the lower end of the vertical pipe extending to the bottom of the drainage well, and a detachable axial flow fan installed at the upper end of the vertical pipe.

[0005] Furthermore, a connecting ring is fitted onto the upper end of the vertical tube and fixed to the vertical tube. The connecting ring is connected to the top cover by multiple screws.

[0006] Furthermore, a convex ring is provided on the upper side of the vertical hole, which is concentrically arranged with the vertical hole. The convex ring is connected and fixed to the top cover. There is a gap between the convex ring and the connecting ring. The screw passes through the connecting ring and is threadedly connected to the convex ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the convex ring has multiple slots evenly distributed on its annular side, and the upper surface of the convex ring has multiple notches communicating with the slots. The upper surface of the connecting ring has multiple small holes aligned with the notches. A plug is inserted into the slot, and a screw hole is formed on the upper surface of the plug. One end of the screw passes through the small hole and the notch and is threaded into the screw hole.

[0008] Furthermore, a ladder is installed inside the drainage well, and the ladder is located on the side of the drainage well near the water inlet pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, a filter screen frame is provided inside the water inlet pipe, and the filter screen frame is connected to the ladder.

[0010] Furthermore, a standing platform is provided on one side of the ladder, and the standing platform is installed inside the drainage well.

[0011] Furthermore, a boom is mounted on the surface of the submersible pump, the upper end of which extends into the inlet and outlet, and the upper end of the boom is connected to the inlet and outlet by screws.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting seat is fitted onto the upper end of the vertical tube and fixed to the vertical tube, and the axial flow fan is connected to the connecting seat by bolts.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. Install an axial fan at the top of the vertical pipe, run the axial fan and open the cover plate. Under the action of the axial fan, the outside space is forced into the drainage well through the vertical pipe. Then, the air in the drainage well is discharged through the inlet and outlet, achieving the purpose of forced ventilation in the drainage well. This helps to remove the polluted air in the drainage well, provides a continuous supply of fresh air, and improves the safety of personnel going down into the drainage well.

[0015] 2. When using screws to restrict the position of the vertical tube, the screws are screwed into the screw holes on the insert block after passing through the small holes on the connecting ring and the notches on the convex ring. This completes the assembly of the vertical tube and the top cover. The convex ring locally increases the thickness of the screw mounting area on the top cover. When the screw cannot be properly separated from the insert block due to corrosion, the screw is cut off using the gap between the connecting ring and the convex ring. Then, the insert block with the screw remaining is removed from the slot, which facilitates the replacement of the damaged vertical tube later. The convex ring and other parts can be reused without replacing the top cover. Attached Figure Description
