Novel butt-joint-free rapid navigation ship lift and working method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel butt-joint-free rapid navigation ship lift and a working method thereof. A hydraulic lifting mechanism and a balance weight mechanism are both installed at the top of a tower column and both connected with a lifting platform; the tower column rails are evenly distributed on the inner sides of the tower columns on the periphery, the guide mechanisms are evenly distributed and installed on the periphery of the lifting platform, the guide mechanisms and the tower column rails work in a matched mode, and the lifting platform ascends or descends along the tower column rails under the action of the hydraulic lifting mechanism. A sealing device is arranged on the periphery of the lifting platform and enables the lifting platform to divide the space defined by the tower columns on the periphery into an upper lock chamber and a lower lock chamber, water is stored in the upper lock chamber, and the lower lock chamber is communicated with the atmosphere. The mechanical butt joint process of a ship reception chamber and a lock head of a traditional ship lift is omitted, the lifting of the water level in the lock chamber is achieved through vertical operation of the lifting platform, and therefore direct butt joint of water is achieved, the control process of the traditional ship lift is greatly simplified, and the navigation efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of navigable buildings, in particular to a new type of ship lift and its working method for rapid navigation without docking. Background technique [0002] The ship lift is a navigable structure that uses mechanical devices to lift ships in rivers to overcome the concentrated water level drop on the channel. Compared with the ship lock device with the same function, under the condition of basically the same investment scale, it shortens the time for ships to cross the dam, improves the navigation efficiency, and saves energy and water resources. [0003] At present, the ship lifts researched and built at home and abroad can be divided into dry transport and wet transport according to the ship transport mode; according to the ship transport trajectory, they can be divided into two types: vertical ship lift and inclined ship lift. Among them, the vertical wet transport ship lift is widely used in domestic and...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Regardless of the model of the above-mentioned ship lift, its navigability must go through three processes of docking, lifting (or lowering) and docking. For example, a patent application with a publication number of CN110374079A discloses a vertical ship lift docking device and method , even if the structure of the docking device is simplified and the docking process is simplified, the time spent in the two docking processes still accounts for more than half of the time for one pass, so the above-mentioned ship lift is mainly used to solve the problem of high dam cargo navigation
