Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-stage drop shaft provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a shaft 100 and a multi-stage relay drop transfer pool 200 arranged from top to bottom within the shaft 100; an inlet 101 is provided at the top of the shaft 100, and the multi-stage relay drop transfer pool 200 is located below the inlet 101; each stage relay drop transfer pool 200 is provided with a vent hole 201 and an overflow weir 202.
[0023] Under low flow conditions, water can be drained step-by-step downwards through the vent 201. Under higher flow conditions, water in the intermediate drop-transfer pool 200 can overflow step-by-step through the overflow weir 202, and the intermediate drop-transfer pool 200 located at the bottom can quickly form a water cushion layer. The drainage from top to bottom through the multi-stage intermediate drop-transfer pool 200 achieves multi-stage energy dissipation, which can safely, economically, and orderly discharge large-flow water bodies from high upstream locations to downstream, thereby ensuring the safe and smooth operation of the drainage system within the designed catchment area.
[0024] The bottom of the shaft 100 is provided with a water collection well 102. Water discharged from the lowest intermediate drop transfer pool 200 is collected in the water collection well 102 and finally discharged through the drain outlet connected to the water collection well 102.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in this embodiment of the utility model, the multi-stage relay drop transfer pool 200 is arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the inner wall of the shaft 100 in a counterclockwise direction.
[0026] Specifically, the cross-section of the inner wall of the shaft 100 is rectangular. The intermediate cascading transfer pool 200 can be formed by the inner walls of the shaft 100 on both sides or three sides, as well as the added water-retaining wall and overflow weir 202. The multi-stage intermediate cascading transfer pools 200 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the inner wall of the shaft 100 in a counterclockwise direction. The overflow weirs 202 of the multi-stage intermediate cascading transfer pools 200 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom along the inner wall of the shaft 100 in a counterclockwise direction. The overflow weir 202 in the uppermost intermediate cascading transfer pool 200 is located next to the inlet 101. The water flow turns 90 degrees from the inlet 101 to the first-stage overflow weir 202, and turns another 90 degrees for each subsequent overflow, thereby increasing the water travel distance and enhancing the energy dissipation effect of water collision and tumbling. During the process of a large flow of water being discharged into the wellbore within 100 mm and falling into the water cushion layer, most of the excess energy is consumed through collision, friction, tumbling, rotation, and splashing of the water, along with the incorporation of a large amount of air. The kinetic energy of the water flow is continuously transferred to turbulent pulsations and large-scale vortex regions through turbulent shearing and diffusion. This energy transfer and redistribution process is accompanied by viscous dissipation caused by shearing. The energy dissipation method mainly consumes energy through turbulence generation and turbulent dissipation, which is safer and more economical.
[0027] The net plan dimensions of the shaft 100 are greater than 7m×7m, and the net plan dimensions of the intermediate drop transfer pool 200 are 5m×5m.
[0028] The height difference between any two adjacent intermediate drop transfer pools is less than or equal to 4 meters, and the effective splash width is within 2 meters.
[0029] The multi-stage drop shaft described in this embodiment is particularly suitable for end-use applications, such as adding water storage and reuse based on sponge city or other needs. Its size can be increased as needed according to the water volume calculation results and combined with the opening and control of the drainage gate. It can also have the function of water storage.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the relay drop transfer pool 200 is provided with a slope of 2% that slopes downwards in the direction close to the vent hole 201.
[0031] The vent hole 201 can be configured with a 400mm×300mm opening and is located at the bottom of the side where the overflow weir 202 is located in the relay drop transfer pool 200. It is used for drainage when the inflow rate is small and to drain accumulated water.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the water-retaining side wall of the relay drop transfer pool 200 is 1400mm high, and the wall height of the overflow weir 202 is 600mm high, which can form a water cushion layer of effective depth. This is because, through hydraulic calculation, the water head height above the weir can be guaranteed to be 0.8m when the weir width is 5m.
[0033] A ladder 300 is provided between any two adjacent intermediate drop transfer pools 200. The upper part of the ladder 300 is ≥1.2m higher than the bottom of the pool. A personnel passage is provided on the higher part so that people can easily climb in and out of the ladder.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the top of the overflow weir 202 is provided with a guide platform 221 extending outward, and the outer edge of the guide platform 221 is provided with an arc part 222. Water overflowing from the guide platform 221 can fall into the central area of the lower intermediate relay drop transfer pool 200.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the shaft 100 is covered with a grating cover plate 400, which is made of G303 / 30 / 100 steel grating cover plate to maximize the ventilation effect and ensure that the water vapor is fully exchanged with the outside.
[0036] Furthermore, the shaft 100 is equipped with a ventilation pipe 500 extending upwards from the bottom to the outside. The bottom of the ventilation pipe 500 is 1.6m away from the bottom of the shaft 100. This is used to force fresh air into the shaft when maintenance or cleaning is required. When maintenance is needed, a ventilation fan is used to force ventilation to remove toxic gases, ensuring personnel safety.
[0037] In addition, the top of the ventilation duct 500 is provided with a downward elbow 501, which can prevent rainwater or other debris from entering the ventilation duct 500.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
