Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and in particular to a cofferdam structure for diversion during the construction of a hydropower station. Background Technology

[0002] Cofferdams play a crucial role in hydropower station construction, primarily guiding water flow and isolating construction areas to ensure safety and stability during construction. By effectively controlling water flow, they provide a dry and safe construction environment, ensuring the construction area is unaffected by water level fluctuations or floods. The design and construction of cofferdams must consider not only geographical and hydrological conditions but also be tailored to the specific needs of different projects. With the increasing scale of hydropower stations, cofferdams face higher demands, particularly in terms of stability and cost control. In the future, cofferdam construction will gradually move towards intelligent and modular designs, further improving construction efficiency and environmental adaptability, ensuring the smooth progress of hydropower station projects.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN221702463U) that discloses a cofferdam structure for water conservancy engineering construction, including a base plate, an mounting plate, and a baffle. A height adjustment mechanism is provided between the mounting plate and the base plate. A support and fixing mechanism is provided on the right side of the base plate. A buffer mechanism is provided between the baffle and the mounting plate. The buffer mechanism includes a circular groove on the left surface of the mounting plate, with a telescopic rod fixedly connected to the inner right wall of the groove. The telescopic end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the right surface of the baffle. This invention utilizes the buffer mechanism. Water flow pushes the baffle to move, and the movement of the baffle pushes the telescopic rod to retract and the two support plates to swing. The retraction of the telescopic rod compresses the first spring, while the swinging of the support plates pushes the transmission plate to move within the buffer groove, pressing against the second spring. Under the action of the first and second springs, the impact force generated by the water flow can be buffered and dissipated, preventing the impact force from directly affecting the base of the device and its stability.

[0004] However, in actual use of the above scheme, the transmission plate slides in the buffer tank for buffering. However, the water in the field environment carries a large amount of floating debris such as driftwood, branches and plastic bottles. This debris may be carried by the water flow into the structure, which may block the cofferdam channel, increase maintenance costs, and affect the stability of the cofferdam. Frequent accumulation of debris may also interfere with the construction progress and reduce work efficiency. In addition, the impact of debris may cause wear or deformation to the structure, affecting the overall function and safety of the cofferdam.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a cofferdam structure for diversion during hydropower station construction. Utility Model Content
