Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of tunnel drainage technology, specifically to a tunnel sewage pumping system. Background Technology
[0002] During tunnel construction or operation, especially in V-shaped tunnels using the shield tunneling method to lay box culvert structures, the V- or W-shaped longitudinal slope of the tunnel makes it prone to accumulating construction wastewater at the lowest point. Traditional drainage methods mainly rely on gravity drainage based on natural slopes. However, at the lowest point of the tunnel's longitudinal slope, a natural drainage slope cannot be formed, making it difficult for water to drain automatically and easily leading to the risk of water accumulation. If water accumulates at the lowest point of the tunnel for a long time, it may soak the box culvert foundation, affecting structural stability and even causing settlement or leakage problems. In addition, the accumulated water may carry impurities such as silt and construction waste slurry, which may block existing drainage channels after sedimentation.
[0003] Current drainage methods generally rely on manual pumping, which is inefficient and cannot respond to water level changes in real time, easily leading to untimely drainage. In addition, the inventors also know of a method for pumping out accumulated water by setting up a fixed pumping station, but the drainage equipment is bulky, complicated to install, and cannot be adapted to the environment of limited space inside the box culvert.

[0022] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "connection" and "linkage" in this application, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).
[0023] Unless otherwise specified, the unit modules, components, structures, mechanisms, or sensors involved in the following embodiments are all commercially available products.
[0024] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] To address the technical problem of water accumulation at the lowest point inside a tunnel culvert failing to drain due to gravity, this embodiment discloses an automatic sewage pumping system for tunnels, such as... Figure 1As shown, it includes a sewage tank 1, a submersible pump and a sewage pump 2, and a control box 3.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water accumulated at the lowest point inside the tunnel culvert is pumped out by a submersible pump and discharged outside the tunnel through the tunnel sewage pipe 20. Since the distance between the water accumulation point and the tunnel sewage pipe 20 is relatively far, to avoid energy loss caused by direct long-distance pumping, a sewage tank 1 is fixed at the top of the tunnel culvert as a temporary storage unit, increasing the sewage discharge distance. Furthermore, considering that the accumulated water may carry impurities such as silt and construction waste, ordinary submersible pumps are difficult to adapt to high-solids-content sewage environments and are easily clogged or worn by silt. Therefore, two horizontal sewage pumps 2 are placed at the top of the tunnel culvert and on both sides of the culvert, with one end connected to the sewage tank 1 and the other end connected to the tunnel sewage pipe 20, greatly improving sewage discharge efficiency.
[0027] When submersible pumps are used to pump out water from the lowest point inside a tunnel culvert, a failure of a single submersible pump can lead to the inability to remove the water in time, causing the culvert foundation to be soaked, which in turn affects the stability of the tunnel structure and may even cause settlement or leakage. Therefore, the submersible pumps include submersible pump 4 and submersible pump 5, which are connected to the sewage tank through corresponding pipelines. Combined with the buffer of sewage tank 1, the continuity of the entire system is ensured.
[0028] To achieve control over the entire system, such as Figure 2 As shown, the control box 3 includes a box body, a control panel located on the outer surface of the box body, and a control circuit located inside the box body and connected to the power supply. However, when controlling the submersible pump and the sewage pump, the changes in liquid level at the water accumulation point in the tunnel culvert and inside the sewage tank must be considered. To achieve automatic monitoring of the liquid level at the water accumulation point in the tunnel culvert and inside the sewage tank, in this embodiment, a water level sensor 6 is installed at the water accumulation point inside the tunnel culvert, and a sewage level sensor 7 is installed inside the sewage tank 1. Preferably, the water level sensor 6 is a level sensor with high and low contacts, and the sewage level sensor 7 is a level sensor with high, medium, and low contacts. Simultaneously, to adapt to different liquid levels and pumping requirements inside the sewage tank 1, the two horizontal sewage pumps are connected to frequency converters. The starting speed of the pumps can be controlled by the frequency converters according to the changes in the liquid level inside the sewage tank 1, thereby improving sewage discharge efficiency.
[0029] Furthermore, considering that the control of submersible pumps and sewage pumps largely relies on manual operation, making unattended drainage impossible, in addition to the manual control of the submersible pumps and sewage pumps, automatic control of the corresponding pumps via level sensors is also required. Specifically, in this embodiment, as... Figure 3 , 4As shown, the control loop includes a manual control loop and an automatic control loop, realizing an automatic monitoring and pump control linkage mechanism to respond to water level changes in real time. In addition, to enable manual and automatic control of the entire system from the control box, specifically in this embodiment, the control panel is equipped with start and stop buttons for submersible pump one, start and stop buttons for submersible pump two, low-speed start and stop buttons for the sewage pump, medium-speed start and stop buttons for the sewage pump, high-speed start and stop buttons for the sewage pump, and a rotary switch. The rotary switch has three positions: automatic, stop, and manual, facilitating control of the entire system's operating mode. Furthermore, to ensure equipment and personnel safety and prevent malfunctions, the control panel also includes an emergency stop button.
[0030] Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to achieve the above control, the circuit design of the control loop is as follows:
[0031] To achieve switching between manual and automatic control loops, such as Figure 3 As shown, the automatic control circuit includes a main control circuit 8, a sewage pump automatic control circuit 11, a submersible pump I automatic circuit 9, and a submersible pump II automatic circuit 10, all connected in parallel. The main control circuit 8 includes an emergency stop button SB, a rotary switch SA, and a manual circuit relay K1 connected in series. To allow the rotary switch SA to switch between manual and automatic control circuits, the sewage pump automatic control circuit 11 includes a normally open contact K1 of the manually connected manual circuit relay K1. A manual circuit switch SB0, controlled by the manually connected circuit relay K1, is provided on the power supply circuit of the manual control circuit. Therefore, when the rotary switch is switched to the manual position, the manually connected circuit relay controls the manually connected circuit switch SB0 to close, and the system is connected to the manual control circuit; when the rotary switch is switched to the automatic position, the normally open contact K1 of the manually connected circuit relay controller K1 closes, and the system is connected to the automatic control circuit. Considering the possibility of the sewage pump damaging itself due to dry running when there is no water in the sewage tank, the main control circuit 8 also includes a sewage tank low-level switch LS and a sewage tank low-level relay KM1 connected in series based on the sewage level data from the sewage level sensor 7. Therefore, when the sewage level in sewage tank 1 falls below the low level of the sewage level sensor, the main control circuit 8 is not powered on and cannot control the connection of the manual and automatic control circuits, thus stopping the system.
[0032] When the rotary switch is set to automatic, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic control circuit 9 for submersible pump one and the automatic circuit 10 for submersible pump two are connected. Specifically, the automatic circuit 9 for submersible pump one includes a normally open low-level switch LS1 connected in series based on the liquid level data from the water level sensor 6, a normally closed low-level switch LS2 controlled by the water level sensor 6, and a pump relay K2 for controlling submersible pump one; wherein, as Figure 5 As shown, submersible pump 4 is started and stopped by pump control 1, and to form a self-locking mechanism, the two ends of the low-level normally open switch LS1, controlled by the water level sensor 6, are connected in parallel to the input point K2 of the pump control 1 relay. The automatic circuit 10 of submersible pump 2 is connected in series with the high-level normally open switch LS3, controlled by the water level sensor 6; the high-level normally closed switch LS4, controlled by the water level sensor 6; and the pump control 2 relay K3, used to control submersible pump 2; wherein, as... Figure 5 As shown, submersible pump 25 is started and stopped by pump control 2, and to form a self-locking mechanism, the two ends of the high-level normally open switch LS3 controlled by the water level sensor 6 are connected in parallel to the input point K3 of the pump control 2 relay. Specifically, when the rotary switch SA is adjusted to the automatic position, when the water level in the tunnel culvert reaches the low level of the water level sensor 6, the low-level normally open switch LS1 on the automatic circuit 9 of submersible pump 1 closes, the pump control 2 relay K2 is energized, and the input point K2 of the pump control 2 relay closes to form a self-locking mechanism, and submersible pump 4 starts; when the water level exceeds the high level of the water level sensor 6, the high-level normally open switch LS3 on the control circuit 10 of submersible pump 2 closes, the pump control 2 relay K3 is energized, the input point K3 of the pump control 2 relay closes to form a self-locking mechanism, and submersible pump 25 starts. At this time, submersible pump 4 and submersible pump 25 work simultaneously. When the water level at the accumulation point drops to the low or high level of the water level sensor 6, the normally closed low level switch LS2 or normally closed high level switch LS4 on the automatic circuit 9 of submersible pump 1 and the automatic circuit 10 of submersible pump 2 are disconnected, thereby controlling submersible pump 4 and submersible pump 2 to stop working respectively.
[0033] To achieve automatic control of the sewage pump speed, further, such as Figure 3 , 4As shown, the sewage pump automatic circuit 11 also includes an input point KM1 of the sewage tank low level relay, which is connected in series based on the sewage level data of the sewage level sensor 7, a packing flushing relay KM2, and the sewage pump automatic circuit. The packing flushing relay KM2 controls the packing inside the sewage pump 2 to flush, preventing sewage from entering the bushing from the packing and causing wear. Specifically, the sewage pump automatic circuit includes a low-speed branch 12, a medium-speed branch 13, and a high-speed branch 14 connected in parallel. The low-speed branch 12 includes a normally open low-level switch LS5 that opens and closes based on the level data of the sewage level sensor 7, a normally closed low-level switch LS6 that opens and closes based on the level data of the sewage level sensor 7, a low-speed automatic relay K4 for the sewage pump, and a normally closed medium-speed input point K5 controlled by the medium-speed automatic relay K5 for the sewage pump. Preferably, the two ends of the normally open low-level switch LS5 are connected in parallel with a normally open low-speed input point K4 controlled by the low-speed automatic relay K4 for the sewage pump, which plays a self-locking role to prevent the sewage pump from constantly switching between starting and stopping due to level fluctuations. The medium-speed branch 13 includes a medium-level normally open switch LS7 that opens and closes based on the level data of the sewage level sensor 7, a medium-level normally closed switch LS8 that opens and closes based on the level data of the sewage level sensor 7, a sewage pump medium-speed automatic relay K5, a low-speed normally closed input point K4 controlled by a sewage pump low-speed automatic relay K4, and a high-speed normally closed input point K6 controlled by a sewage pump high-speed automatic relay K6; preferably, a medium-speed normally open input point K5 controlled by a sewage pump medium-speed automatic relay K5 is connected in parallel across the two ends of the medium-level normally open switch LS7. The high-speed branch 14 includes a high-level normally open switch LS9, a high-level normally closed switch LS10, a high-level normally closed switch LS10, a high-speed automatic relay K6 for the sewage pump, and a medium-speed normally closed input point K6 controlled by the medium-speed automatic relay K6 for the sewage pump, connected in series. Preferably, a high-speed normally open input point K6 controlled by the high-speed automatic relay K6 for the sewage pump is connected in parallel across the high-level normally open switch LS9. Specifically, when the sewage level in the sewage tank 1 exceeds the low level, the automatic control circuit is energized, and the sewage pump 2 first performs packing flushing. When the sewage level in the sewage tank 1 is low, the low-speed branch 12 is activated to start the sewage pump at low speed. When the sewage level in the sewage tank 1 is high, the medium-speed branch 13 is activated and the low-speed branch 12 is deactivated. When the sewage level in the sewage tank 1 is high, the high-speed branch 14 is activated and the medium-speed branch 13 is deactivated. When the sewage level in the sewage tank drops and returns to the medium or low level, the medium-speed automatic branch 13 is activated or the low-speed automatic branch 12 is activated automatically, the high-speed automatic branch 14 is activated, and the medium-speed automatic branch 13 is deactivated in sequence.
[0034] To achieve manual control, such as Figure 4As shown, the manual control circuit includes parallel-connected low-speed manual circuit 15 for sewage pumps, medium-speed manual circuit 16 for sewage pumps, high-speed manual circuit 17 for sewage pumps, manual circuit 18 for submersible pump one, and manual circuit 19 for submersible pump two. Specifically, the low-speed manual circuit 15 for sewage pumps includes a voltage relay KV1, a low-speed manual start button SB1 for sewage pumps, a low-speed manual relay KA1 for sewage pumps, and a low-speed manual stop button SB6 for sewage pumps, connected in series. To form a self-locking mechanism for low-speed start of the sewage pump, a normally open switch KA1 (1,5) controlled by the low-speed manual relay KA1 is connected in parallel across the voltage relay KV1 and the low-speed manual start button SB1. The sewage pump medium-speed manual circuit 16 includes, in series, a second normally open switch KA1 (2, 6) controlled by the sewage pump low-speed manual relay KA1, a sewage pump medium-speed manual start button SB2, a sewage pump medium-speed manual relay KA2, and a sewage pump medium-speed manual stop button SB7. To establish a self-locking mechanism for medium-speed start, a third normally open switch KA2 (1, 5) controlled by the sewage pump medium-speed manual relay KA2 is connected in parallel across the two ends of the second normally open switch KA1 (2, 6) and the sewage pump medium-speed manual control button SB2. The sewage pump high-speed manual circuit 17 includes, in series, a second normally open switch KA2 (2, 6) controlled by the sewage pump medium-speed manual relay KA2, a sewage pump high-speed manual start button SB3, a sewage pump high-speed manual relay KA3, and a sewage pump high-speed manual stop button SB8. To establish a self-locking mechanism for high-speed start, a third normally open switch KA3 (1, 5) controlled by the sewage pump high-speed manual relay KA3 is connected in parallel across the two ends of the second normally open switch KA2 (2, 6) and the sewage pump high-speed manual start button SB3. In addition, to achieve manual control of the submersible pump, in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the submersible pump manual circuit 18 includes a submersible pump manual start button SB4, a submersible pump manual relay KA4, and a submersible pump manual stop button SB9 connected in series. To establish a self-locking mechanism for submersible pump start, a normally open switch KA4(1,5) controlled by the submersible pump manual relay KA4 is connected in parallel across the submersible pump manual start button SB4. The submersible pump manual circuit 19 includes a submersible pump manual start button SB5, a submersible pump manual relay KA5, and a submersible pump manual stop button SB10 connected in series. To establish a self-locking mechanism for submersible pump start, a normally open switch KA5(1,5) controlled by the submersible pump manual relay KA5 is connected in parallel across the submersible pump manual start button SB5.
[0035] In addition, in order to achieve control of the sewage pump speed, such as Figure 5As shown, the frequency converter is equipped with normally open contacts K4 for the low-speed automatic relay of the sewage pump, normally open contacts K5 for the medium-speed automatic relay of the sewage pump, and normally open contacts K6 for the high-speed automatic relay of the sewage pump, thereby realizing the control of the speed of the sewage pump through the frequency converter.
