Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering construction technology, specifically to a cofferdam structure for water conservancy construction. Background Technology
[0002] Water conservancy construction cofferdams are water-retaining structures used in water conservancy projects to temporarily protect the construction area. They are constructed by combining units such as baffles and supports to create a closed or semi-closed cavity that can prevent external water flow from entering the construction area. This creates a dry construction environment for underwater foundation excavation, concrete pouring, and other operations. They must have a certain water-retaining and impact-resistant capacity, and the support range and position can usually be flexibly adjusted according to the construction conditions. After construction, they can be dismantled or reused. They are key temporary facilities to ensure the smooth progress of water conservancy projects.
[0003] Traditional water conservancy construction cofferdams are mostly constructed by splicing together single baffles, which has many shortcomings: First, the assembly and disassembly of the baffles is cumbersome, the splicing method is complicated, the construction efficiency is low, and it is not conducive to rapid turnover and use; Second, after blocking the water flow, the outer side of the cofferdam is prone to silt accumulation, especially the water-facing side of the cofferdam. When used in rivers with slow water flow and high silt content, silt accumulation is more likely to occur. The accumulated silt will cause additional lateral pressure on the baffles of the cofferdam, thereby increasing the supporting load on the baffles and reducing the safety of use.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, a cofferdam structure for hydraulic construction is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by developing a cofferdam structure for hydraulic construction. This invention allows for easy assembly and disassembly, and enables the clearing of silt and sand accumulated on the water-facing side of the cofferdam, thereby improving the safety of cofferdam use.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution: A cofferdam structure for hydraulic construction includes a baffle unit that can enclose a cavity. A tensioning unit is provided on the baffle unit inside the cavity, and a flow guiding unit is provided on the baffle unit outside the cavity. The flow guiding unit can slide along the horizontal direction of the baffle unit. The baffle unit includes several inner baffles that are connected to each other in the left and right directions, several outer baffles that are connected to each other in the top and bottom directions, and corner connecting plates. The inner baffles, outer baffles, and tensioning units at both ends of the baffle unit are all connected to the corner connecting plates. The flow guiding unit includes a translation component and a flow guiding plate. The translation component is slidably disposed on the upper side of the baffle unit, and the flow guiding plate is disposed on the translation component and is slidably attached to the outer surface of the baffle unit on the side facing the water flow.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the inner baffle is provided with several piles for insertion into the riverbed, and U-shaped blocks with opposite opening directions are provided on both sides of the inner baffle along its length. The U-shaped blocks of adjacent inner baffles can be interlocked, and a waterproof layer is provided on both the inner and outer surfaces of the U-shaped blocks.
[0008] Preferably, several through holes are made through the outer baffle, and a tensioning member is installed through the through holes. The tensioning member is used to tightly connect the upper and lower adjacent outer baffles into one piece. Both ends of the outer baffle are provided with clamping plates for connecting with corner connecting plates. The sides of the outer baffle and the surface of the clamping plates are provided with a waterproof layer.
[0009] Preferably, the corner connecting plate includes a corner plug connected to the U-shaped plug of the inner baffle, a slot connected to the card plate of the outer baffle, and a pull seat connected to the tensioning unit. Several pull seats are provided along the length direction of the corner connecting plate. Several nail holes are opened on the outer wall of the slot along the length direction, and screws are provided in the nail holes for connecting the slot and the card plate of the outer baffle.
[0010] Preferably, the tensioning unit includes a top seat that can contact the inner wall of the inner baffle. A rotating cylinder is rotatably mounted on the top seat. The inner sides of both ends of the rotating cylinder are provided with internal threads of opposite directions. Both ends of the rotating cylinder are threadedly connected to a threaded shaft. A pull ring is rotatably mounted on the end of the threaded shaft away from the rotating cylinder. The pull ring is rotatably mounted on the corner connecting plate. A locking hole is provided in the middle of the rotating drum, and a locking element is detachably installed in the locking hole. The locking element can contact the inner baffle.
[0011] Preferably, the translation component includes a translation seat, which is inverted L-shaped. The bottom and side of the translation seat are respectively provided with a moving wheel and a balance wheel. The moving wheel is used to contact the upper side of the inner baffle and can drive the translation seat to move. The balance wheel is used to contact the side of the inner baffle located inside the cavity. The inner baffle has a groove corresponding to the position of the balance wheel, and the balance wheel is rolled and locked in the groove.
[0012] Preferably, the guide plate includes a surface A that contacts the outer baffle and a surface B that contacts the water flow, and surface B is symmetrical about the vertical center surface of surface A.

[0015] The effects provided in the utility model description are merely those of the embodiments, and not all the effects of the utility model. The above technical solution has the following advantages: 1. This utility model, by setting a flow guiding unit, has a translation component that can slide horizontally along the baffle unit to drive the flow guiding plate to move. The flow guiding plate faces the direction of water flow and has an isosceles triangle cross section, which can effectively and evenly disperse the impact force of the water flow, reduce the scouring and wear of the baffle unit by the water flow, and guide the water flow to both sides. The impact force of the water flow will then push the mud and sand accumulated on the outside of the baffle unit to both sides. With the left and right movement of the translation component, the mud and sand will be pushed away, avoiding excessive force on the baffle caused by the accumulation of mud and sand, thus improving safety. 2. This utility model sets up baffle units, in which the inner baffles of the baffle units are connected to each other by U-shaped plugs, and the outer baffles of the baffle units are tightly connected by tensioning members.

The overall splicing method is simple, no complicated tools are required, and it is easy to assemble and disassemble quickly, improves construction efficiency, and facilitates the reuse of the cofferdam structure. 3. By setting up a tensioning unit, rotating the rotating drum of the tensioning unit, and connecting the internal threads at both ends of the rotating drum with the threaded shafts on both sides, the corner connecting plates on both sides of the baffle unit are brought closer to each other, so as to squeeze the waterproof layer between the inner baffles. Combined with the snap-fit of the outer baffle, the integrity and waterproofness of the cofferdam are improved. Attached Figure Description

[0021] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of stakes 111 are provided at the bottom of the inner baffle 11 for insertion into the riverbed. U-shaped inserts 112 with opposite opening directions are provided on both sides of the inner baffle 11 along its length direction.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, the tensioning unit 2 includes a top seat 21 that can contact the inner wall of the inner baffle 11. A rotating cylinder 22 is rotatably mounted on the top seat 21. The inner sides of both ends of the rotating cylinder 22 are provided with internal threads in opposite directions.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the translation component 31 includes a translation seat 311, which is movably disposed on the upper side of the baffle unit 1. The side of the translation seat 311 away from the cofferdam cavity is connected to the upper end of the guide plate 32 by a connecting bolt. Threaded holes are opened at corresponding positions on the upper end of the guide plate 32 and the translation seat 311, and connecting bolts are provided in the threaded holes to realize the detachable connection between the translation seat 311 and the guide plate 32, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and use of the device.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the translation seat 311 is inverted L-shaped. The bottom and side of the translation seat 311 are respectively provided with a moving wheel 312 and a balance wheel 313. The moving wheel 312 is used to contact the upper side of the inner baffle 11 and can drive the translation seat 311 to move. The balance wheel 313 is used to contact the side of the inner baffle 11 located inside the cavity. The translation seat 311 is pushed manually.
[0028] In another embodiment, the moving wheel 312 is connected to the motor output end, and the motor is set inside the translation seat 311 to achieve automatic movement and reduce the labor intensity of the workers. The motor is selected as needed to drive the translation component 31 to move as a whole. Preferably, the motor is powered by a solar-charged battery, which is set inside the translation seat 311, and the solar panel is set on the top of the translation seat 311.
[0029] In an optional embodiment, the inner baffle 11 has a groove 314 at the position corresponding to the balance wheel 313. The balance wheel 313 is rolled and locked in the groove 314 to balance the weight and force of the guide plate 32, avoid the translation component 31 from being unstable under the impact of water flow, and improve the stability of the movement of the guide plate 32.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the guide plate 32 is disposed on the translation seat 311. The guide plate 32 includes an A surface 321 that contacts the outer baffle 12 and a B surface 322 that contacts the water flow. The B surface 322 is symmetrical about the vertical center surface of the A surface 321. The cross-section of the guide plate 32 is an isosceles triangle, with the base of the isosceles triangle being the A surface 321 and the two isosceles surfaces being the B surface 322. It is a smooth plane to divert the water flow to both sides, reduce the impact force on the surface of the baffle, and flush away the silt accumulated on the front side of the baffle, thereby improving the safety of the cofferdam.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, surface B 322 is configured as a concave, smooth arc-shaped surface to accelerate the contact speed between the water flow and the baffle surface, avoid the slowing effect of the inclined plane surface B 322 on the water flow speed, and improve the quality of rinsing.
[0032] Working principle: Based on the size of the construction area, several inner baffles 11 are selected and interlocked. Corner connecting plates 13 are then installed on both sides of the interlocked inner baffles 11. Outer baffles 12 are then installed according to the distance between the corner connecting plates 13. Several outer baffles 12 are snapped together with the corner connecting plates 13, and the gaps between the outer baffles 12 are pressed together by tensioning members 121. Then, a tensioning unit 2 is installed, with its pull ring 24 placed on a tension seat 133 at the same height as the corner connecting plates 13 on both sides. Both ends of the rotating drum 22 are threadedly connected to threaded shafts 23, pressing the top seat 21 onto the inner baffles 11 to prevent movement. Then, the rotating drum 22 is rotated, causing the threaded shafts 23 at both ends to retract synchronously into the rotating drum 22. When the rotating drum 22 can no longer rotate, the inner baffles 11 press against each other, improving sealing and overall integrity. Then, the locking piece 25 is inserted into the locking hole in the middle of the rotating drum 22, so that one end of the locking piece 25 contacts the inner baffle 11, restricting the rotation of the rotating drum 22, preventing the threaded shaft 23 from loosening, and ensuring the support stability of the tensioning unit 2. Then, the integrity between the outer baffle 12 and the corner connecting plate 13 can be further strengthened by screws. The constructed cofferdam is placed in the construction position in the water, and the pile nails 111 are fully inserted into the riverbed. The flow guiding unit 3 is installed on the water-facing side of the cofferdam, and the translation component 31 of the flow guiding unit 3 is moved periodically or as needed to avoid sediment accumulation and improve the safety of the cofferdam.
