Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and more specifically, to an intelligent rotary fishway fish driving device for a hydropower station fishway and a method for driving fish using the device. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet various requirements such as flood control, irrigation, power generation, shipping, and water supply, it is often necessary to build water conservancy and hydropower engineering buildings on rivers to form reservoirs, raise water levels, and regulate runoff. While the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects brings great benefits to mankind, it also destroys the biological continuity of rivers, blocks the channels of migratory and semi-migratory fish, and reduces the biodiversity of rivers. In order to protect natural fishery resources and ensure the continuity and diversity of aquatic ecosystems, the main restoration measures currently taken are to build fish passage facilities in hydropower and water conservancy projects, mainly including fishways, fish locks, fish elevators, fish collection ships, etc.

[0003] A fishway is a fish passage building constructed at a dam or natural obstacle for fish migration. The fishway is arranged in the areas with relatively gentle water flow in the non-flood discharge and power generation dam sections on both sides of the water conservancy project. Its function is to guide fish from the downstream of the power station to the upstream, mainly undertaking the role of fish passage, and is an ecological measure to reduce the interference of the dam on the survival and reproduction of fish. A fish elevator is a form of fishway that enables fish to pass through hydraulic structures by a faster method. Most existing fishways are artificial water troughs built in river-blocking buildings, which are difficult to meet the requirements of local fish for water flow velocity and flow pattern. Generally, after fish enter the fishway, they may gather in some areas of the fishway and do not move forward, resulting in the inability of the fish collection box to quickly collect fish for the next transportation work, and the fish passage efficiency is low. If artificial intervention is used to collect fish, potential environmental protection and ecological problems will occur. Summary of the Invention

[0006] A further technical solution of the present invention: The fish repelling device further includes a control cabinet, a camera arranged in the fish repelling area, and a laser limit device. The laser limit device includes a laser emitter installed on the traveling trolley and a laser positioning plate arranged at the terminal of the traveling track.

The signal output end of the control cabinet is connected to the driving mechanism, the driving mechanism of the traveling trolley, and the power-on control end of the fish blocking electric grid.

[0007] A further technical solution of the present invention: The distance between the starting point of the traveling track and the overhaul laminated gate is 5 - 10 m, and the terminal extends to both sides of the fish collecting chamber lifting well. The traveling trolley includes a traveling support and traveling wheels symmetrically arranged at the bottoms of both ends of the traveling support. The driving mechanism is installed on the traveling support through a support frame. The lower end of the rotating hanging rod passes through the center position of the traveling support and the center position of the top of the fish blocking electric grid.

[0008] A preferred technical solution of the present invention: A horizontal connecting rod is provided at the connection end of the rotating hanging rod and the fish blocking electric grid. The horizontal connecting rod is rigidly connected to the rotating hanging rod. The horizontal connecting rod is connected to the fish blocking electric grid through an elastic connecting member. The two balance inclined pull rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal connecting rod, one end of which is slidably connected to the horizontal connecting rod, and the other end is hinged to the fish blocking electric grid. The elastic connecting member is at least two connecting springs.

[0009] Preferred technical solution of the present invention: The rotating mechanism includes a rotating support, an end-face adapting bearing, and a support bearing. The rotating support is installed at the center of the top of the traveling trolley. The upper end of the rotating boom passes through the bracket of the traveling trolley and the rotating support and is connected to the driving rod of the driving mechanism. An end-face adapting bearing and a support bearing are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the contact part between the rotating support and the rotating boom. The rotating boom is rotatably connected to the rotating support through the end-face adapting bearing and the support bearing; the end-face adapting bearing is a double-row spherical self-aligning roller bearing, and the support bearing is a thrust self-aligning roller bearing.

[0010] Preferred technical solution of the present invention: The fish barrier electric grid includes an insulating grid and a galvanized pipe electrode group arranged in the middle of the grid. The transmission line of the galvanized pipe electrode group passes through the rotating boom and is led out from the top end of the rotating boom; the height and width of the fish barrier electric grid match the channel height and width of the fishway. There is a spacing of 10-20 mm between both sides of the fish barrier electric grid and the side walls of the fishway and between the bottom edge and the bottom surface of the fishway.

[0011] Preferred technical solution of the present invention: The driving mechanism is a three-in-one driving motor or an electric push rod. When the driving mechanism is a driving motor, the driving motor is installed on the traveling bracket of the traveling trolley through a support frame. The driving rod is directly connected to the control end of the rotating boom and controls the rotating boom to rotate 90° forward or backward; when the driving mechanism is an electric push rod, the driving rod of the electric push rod is connected to the control end of the rotating boom through a 90° bent rod. The electric push rod is vertically hinged on the support frame and can rotate in a plane. When the electric push rod works, it pushes the 90° bent rod to rotate, driving the rotating boom to rotate 90° forward or backward.

[0012] A method of driving fish using the above intelligent rotary fishway fish driving device provided by the present invention, which is applicable to driving fish from the maintenance stop log gate slot end to the fish collecting chamber lift well in the fishway of a hydropower station, is characterized in that the specific steps are as follows:

[0013] (1) Before the fish in the downstream of the hydropower station enter the fishway, the traveling trolley is placed at one end of the traveling track near the fish inlet, and the fish barrier electric grid is parallel to the fishway. At this time, the fishway is in an open state;

[0014] (2) When the amount of fish in the fishway reaches the transportation volume of the fish collecting chamber lift well, control the fish barrier electric grid to rotate 90° to block the fishway inlet, and drive the traveling trolley to move along the fishway towards the direction of the fish collecting chamber lift well, driving the fish barrier electric grid to drive the fish in the fishway into the fish collecting chamber lift well;

[0015] (3) After the fish barrier electric grid drives the fish in the fishway into the fish collecting chamber lift well, the traveling trolley moves along the fishway towards the direction of the maintenance stop log gate, and before moving or when moving to the starting end, control the fish barrier electric grid to rotate 90° to restore the passage of the fishway.

[0016] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is as follows: the movement of the fish-driving device and the rotation of the fish-blocking electric grid are both controlled by a control cabinet to work automatically, and the amount of fish in the fishway is monitored by image acquisition. When the amount of fish reaches the transportation requirement, the control cabinet controls the fish-blocking electric grid to rotate 90 degrees to block the fishway entrance, and at the same time controls the walking trolley to move along the fishway toward the fish collecting chamber lifting shaft; the moving stroke of the walking trolley is limited by a laser limiting device, and when the walking trolley moves to the positions on both sides of the fish collecting chamber lifting shaft, it stops moving, and controls the walking trolley to move in the opposite direction to the starting end, and at the same time controls the fish-blocking electric grid to rotate 90 degrees again to open the fishway entrance.

[0017] A more preferred technical solution of the present invention is that the fish-blocking electric fence emits electric waves with an influence range of 1.5m to automatically drive away the fish during the fish-driving process.

[0018] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] (1) The present invention is provided with a walking mechanism, which can automatically walk in the fishway and drive the fish into the fish collecting chamber through weak electric waves, so that the fish can be quickly collected for the next step of transportation, thereby greatly increasing the fish passing efficiency of the fishway.

[0020] (2) The fish fence of the present invention adopts a galvanized tube electrode group to generate electric waves within a reasonable range to automatically drive away fish, reducing human intervention and the impact on ecological environment protection; the electric fence and the overall structure adopt a high-strength insulating sheathing, which can be touched by people, and the equipment works without interference and radiation to the power grid, and has strong safety.

[0021] (3) The fish-blocking electric fence of the present invention is installed on the support frame of the walking mechanism through a rotating boom, so that the fish-blocking electric fence can be automatically rotated. When driving away fish, it can be turned to block the fishway to prevent fish from swimming in the opposite direction. When not driving away fish, it can be rotated to a position parallel to the fishway to facilitate the normal passage of fish.

[0022] (4) The rotating boom in the present invention is connected to the fish-blocking electric fence through a diagonal tie rod and a connecting spring, which can adapt to the inclination and vibration of the fish-blocking electric fence caused by the imbalance of the electric fence gravity, the swing of the boom and different hydrodynamic conditions, thereby enhancing the working reliability of the fish-blocking electric fence.

[0023] (5) The rotating boom of the present invention adopts a thrust spherical roller bearing as an end adaptable bearing, which can adapt to the vibration and swing of the rotating boom caused by the driving mechanism within a certain range.

[0024] (6) The fish-driving device of the present invention can be automatically controlled. When the number of fish in the fishway reaches a certain level, the fish-driving device can be automatically controlled to drive the fish quickly into the fish collecting chamber, thereby greatly increasing the fish passing efficiency of the fishway.

[0025] The present invention is simple to install and disassemble as a whole, has strong adaptability, requires little maintenance and is easy to maintain, realizes automatic driving of fish, and quickly collects fish for the next step of transportation, greatly increases the fish passing efficiency of the fishway, reduces human intervention and the impact on ecological environment protection, and has high safety.

Driven by the traveling trolley 3, the fish blocking electric fence 1 can move along the fishway to drive fish; under the action of the driving mechanism 4, the fish blocking fence 1 can be controlled to rotate 90 degrees forward or backward.

[0040] The intelligent rotary fishway fish driving device in the embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the fish blocking electric fence 1 includes an insulating grid fence and a galvanized pipe electrode group 100 arranged in the middle of the grid fence. The transmission line of the galvanized pipe electrode group 100 passes through the rotating suspension rod 2 and is led out from the top end of the rotating suspension rod 2; the height and width of the fish blocking electric fence 1 match the channel height and width of the fishway 9, and there are 10 - 20 mm gaps between both sides of the fish blocking electric fence 1 and the two side walls of the fishway 9 and between the bottom edge of the fish blocking electric fence 1 and the bottom surface of the fishway 9. A horizontal connecting rod 8 is provided at the connection end of the rotating suspension rod 2 and the fish blocking electric fence 1. The horizontal connecting rod 8 is rigidly connected to the rotating suspension rod 2. The horizontal connecting rod 8 is connected to the fish blocking electric fence 1 through an elastic connecting member 6. The elastic connecting member 6 is at least two connecting springs. Two balance inclined pull rods 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the horizontal connecting rod 8. One end of each balance inclined pull rod 7 is slidably connected to the horizontal connecting rod 8, and the other end is hinged to the fish blocking electric fence 1.

[0041] The intelligent rotary fishway fish driving device in the embodiment, as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, the rotation mechanism 5 includes a rotating support 500, an end face adaptive bearing 501 and a support bearing 502. The rotating support 500 is installed at the center of the top of the walking trolley 3. The upper end of the rotating boom 2 passes through the bracket of the walking trolley 3 and the rotating support 500 and is connected to the driving rod of the driving mechanism 4. An end face adaptive bearing 501 and a support bearing 502 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends of the contact part between the rotating support 500 and the rotating boom 2.

When the driving mechanism is an electric push rod, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the driving rod of the electric push rod is connected to the control end of the rotating boom 2 through a 90° bent rod 401. The electric push rod is vertically hinged on the support frame 400 and can rotate in a plane. When the electric push rod works, it pushes the 90° bent rod 401 to rotate, driving the rotating boom to rotate forward or backward by 90°.

[0042] In the intelligent rotary fishway fish repelling device in the embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 shown, the fish repelling device further includes a control cabinet 15, a camera 12 arranged in the fish repelling area 902 and a laser limit device. The laser limit device includes a laser emitter 13 installed on the walking trolley 3 and a laser positioning plate 14 arranged at the end of the walking track 16. The camera 12 is directly facing the fish repelling area 902 of the fishway 9.

[0045] After the camera collects the image, a preprocessing signal is obtained and transmitted to the status monitoring server in the control cabinet 15 on the rack of the fish driving device through the Ethernet or 4G / 5G module. Combining with the status monitoring system of the control cabinet 15, the real-time display and real-time storage of the device status data are realized.

Among them, the optical image signal adopts a binocular camera, and the three-dimensional reconstruction of the tooth shape is completed through parallax analysis. The device model is: Intel RealSense Camera D415 binocular structured light infrared depth camera (ActiveIR Stereo). The running state of the trolley is discriminated by a laser sensor, and a laser positioning plate is arranged above the fish collecting box to monitor the position of the fish driving device in real time and feedback this information to the control cabinet. The AD conversion of the acquisition system adopts ADS8413, with dual-channel synchronous sampling, and the sampling rate is required to be above 1M; the control processing system of the control cabinet 15 adopts the ZYNQ series FPGA XC7Z020-2CLG4841, and performs arithmetic processing on the collected image signals. The system uses Ethernet to transmit data to the outside world, runs the Linux operating system inside the module, and the overall module is powered by 12V DC; data communication can adopt two methods, wired transmission and wireless transmission: 1) Wired transmission: An optical cable parallel to the power supply cable of the fish driving device, only one optical-electric conversion module is needed; 2) Wireless transmission is mainly used for the transmission of the image recognition system and the device running state, and adopts the GPRS method for transmission. A 4G industrial-grade wireless router with the model ZR2000 is selected to build the transmission system environment. The signal is sent to the upper computer located on the console through the wired / wireless network to realize remote data monitoring and indication control.

[0046] The method for driving fish by the intelligent rotary fishway fish driving device in the embodiment is as follows Figure 9 shown, and its specific steps are as follows:

[0047] (1) Before the fish in the downstream of the hydropower station enter the fishway, the traveling trolley is placed at one end of the traveling track near the fish inlet, and the fish blocking electric grid 1 is parallel to the water flow direction, as Figure 4 shown. At this time, the fishway is in an open state, and the fish enter the fish inlet area 903 of the fishway 9 through the decentralized fish inlets of the fishway 9. The fish in the fish inlet area 903 enter the fish driving area 902 through the open fish blocking electric grid 1;

[0048] (2) Monitor the fish quantity in the fish driving area 902 of the fishway by means of image acquisition. When the fish quantity reaches the transportation requirement, control the fish blocking electric grid to rotate 90°, as Figure 3 shown, block the inlet of the fishway 9, and at the same time control the traveling trolley 3 to move along the fishway 9 towards the direction of the fish collecting chamber lifting shaft 11, driving the fish blocking electric grid 1 to drive the fish in the fish driving area 902 of the fishway into the fish collecting chamber; the fish blocking electric grid emits electric waves with an influence range within 1.5 m during the fish driving process to automatically drive the fish;

[0049] (3) After the fish blocking electric grid 1 drives the fish in the fishway into the fish collecting chamber, automatically control the traveling trolley 3 to move along the fishway in the opposite direction towards the direction of the maintenance stop log gate 10, and before moving or when moving to the starting end, control the fish blocking electric grid 1 to rotate 90° to restore the passage of the fishway.

[0050] As mentioned above, this is only one embodiment of the present invention, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
