[0002] Accurate monitoring of flow in open channels is the basis for water conservation in irrigation areas, as well as for refined management of water resources and optimized channel scheduling, especially for flow monitoring of gate valves in open channels. At present, integrated gates for measurement and control used in water diversion and irrigation projects mostly use a time difference flow measurement box connected in front of the gate, which is mostly used in water diversion outlets with breast walls, and the orifice size is mostly 0.4×0.4m~1.5×1.5m, which is not suitable for wide and short open channels, and is not easy to install and maintain, and has a high cost. Another form is the downward flap gate, which calculates the flow through the gate by measuring the water level before and after the gate, but the measurement accuracy is greatly affected by the flow state after the gate, which is also not easy to install and maintain, and has a high cost. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a flat gate with integrated measurement and control for an open channel, which is easy to install and maintain and is not limited by the size of the orifice.

[0006] Each of the flow measuring devices has the same structure, including a vertical cylinder with a right-angled triangle cross-section, wherein the two right-angled cylinder surfaces of the vertical cylinder are used to connect with the vertical frame of the gate frame, and the hypotenuse cylinder surface of the vertical cylinder is the water-facing surface and is evenly provided with a plurality of vertical filtering holes for eliminating water flow disturbances; a vertical pipe is arranged in the vertical cylinder, and vertical filtering holes for eliminating water flow disturbances are evenly provided on the circumferential surface of the vertical pipe; a pressure water level monitor is arranged in the vertical pipe on the base of the vertical cylinder, and the control interface of the pressure water level monitor is connected to a flow monitoring controller by leading out from the upper tube mouth conduit of the vertical cylinder through a cable.

[0007] A notch is provided on the bottom pipe wall of the vertical pipe so that canal water can smoothly enter the vertical pipe.

[0008] The invention has the advantage that the gate frame can be pulled out from the gate slot embedded parts, which is convenient for installation and maintenance. At the same time, the average flow of the monitored section is calculated through the energy conservation and channel continuity equation, eliminating the error caused by the energy conversion of the transducer device in the traditional flow measurement method, and no parameter calibration is required, with high measurement accuracy.
