Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of navigation technology for river water conservancy hubs, and in particular to a multi-compartment super ship lift. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the country is vigorously developing the use of clean energy and constructing water conservancy dams on rivers for industrial and agricultural production, but this has also brought inconvenience to ship navigation in the waterways. To ensure ship navigation in the waterways, locks or ship lifts are usually built. The ship lift currently used includes two lifting towers located upstream and downstream of the dam, respectively. The upper parts of the two lifting towers are connected by a navigation channel. The lifting towers and the navigation channel are constructed of reinforced concrete. The lifting towers have ship entry and exit channels and lifting channels. The lifting channels have bridges for carrying ships, and the bridges have sealed doors at both ends corresponding to the ship entry and exit channels. On the upper part of the lifting towers, on both sides of the lifting channels, there are several fixed pulleys and several winches. The fixed pulleys and winches are arranged along the direction of ship entry and exit. Steel wire ropes are wound on the drums of the winches. One end of the steel wire rope passes over the corresponding fixed pulley and connects to the bridge, and the other end is connected to the counterweight. Upstream vessels enter the bridge chamber located at the bottom of the downstream elevator tower from the downstream channel via the vessel access passage. After securing the vessel inside, a winch raises the chamber to the appropriate height to align with the navigation channel. The vessel then navigates through the navigation channel into the bridge chamber located at the top of the upstream elevator tower. The winch then lowers the chamber to the appropriate height to align with the upstream channel, allowing the vessel to enter the upstream channel. Conversely, downstream vessels enter the bridge chamber located at the bottom of the upstream elevator tower from the upstream channel via the vessel access passage. After securing the vessel inside, a winch raises the chamber to the appropriate height to align with the navigation channel. The vessel then navigates through the navigation channel into the bridge chamber located at the top of the downstream elevator tower, allowing the vessel to enter the downstream channel.
[0003] This type of ship lift has the following shortcomings in operation: First, each lifting tower has only one lifting channel, and each channel can only accommodate one bridge chamber. This cannot meet the varying navigation needs of different numbers of ships, resulting in low throughput, long transit times for ships, low navigation efficiency, and high operating costs. Second, the weight of the bridge chamber must be significantly greater than the weight of the counterweight. The winch-driven lifting system consumes high energy, and the weight of the bridge chamber is not adjustable from the counterweight. If the counterweight exceeds the weight of the bridge chamber, a runaway accident will immediately occur. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a multi-compartment super ship lift that can solve the problem that existing ship lifts cannot meet the simultaneous navigation needs of multiple ships with multiple compartments.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: It includes a lifting tower with a lifting channel and bridge carriages located within the lifting channel. Several fixed pulleys are arranged on both sides of the lifting channel at the upper part of the lifting tower, arranged along the direction of ship entry and exit. Each fixed pulley is connected to a balancing steel cable. One end of the balancing steel cable is connected to the bridge carriage via a bridge carriage gravity sensor, and the other end is connected to a counterweight via a counterweight electronic crane scale. A bridge carriage valve is located at the bottom of the bridge carriage, and the counterweight is equipped with a counterweight valve. At least two parallel bridge carriages are located on the same navigation facility axis within the lifting tower. The bridge carriages are connected to each other via a bridge carriage docking compartment and a bridge carriage watertight compartment. A tilting door controls the opening and closing of the waterway.
[0006] A more specific embodiment of the above technical solution is as follows: an electronic crane scale is installed on both sides of the lifting channel at the upper part of the lifting tower. A lifting chain is suspended from the electronic crane scale. The middle section of the lifting chain is engaged with a chain lifting drive installed in the U-shaped keel of the bridge beam. The bottom end of the lifting chain is connected to a reverse electronic crane scale. The reverse electronic crane scale is connected to a reverse tie rod fixedly installed on the foundation of the lifting tower.
[0007] Furthermore: Multiple U-shaped keels of the bridge carriage crossbeams are spaced apart on both sides of the bridge carriage facing the tower wall. The chain lifting drive includes a main drive wheel and two auxiliary wheels disposed within the U-shaped keel of the bridge carriage crossbeam. The auxiliary wheels are respectively disposed above and below the main drive wheel, forming a transverse isosceles triangle. The main drive wheel is driven by a motor and equipped with a braking mechanism, and the auxiliary wheels are also equipped with braking mechanisms. Chain running guides are provided on the U-shaped keel of the bridge carriage crossbeam on the side where the main drive wheel and each auxiliary wheel engage with the chain. The shape of the chain running guides is adapted to the running path of the main drive wheel and each auxiliary wheel on the side where they engage with the chain. The beginning of the chain running guide of the upper auxiliary wheel is vertically upward and parallel to the chain, and a short guide section is vertically disposed on the other side of this chain segment. The end of the chain running guide of the lower auxiliary wheel is vertically downward and parallel to the chain, and a short guide section is vertically disposed on the other side of this chain segment.
[0008] Furthermore: Each of the bridge carriages has corresponding slots spaced apart on its two opposing inner sides. These slots house steel boxes for mounting the bridge carriage ship conveyors. The front section of each steel box has a longitudinal opening, while the rear section is a cylindrical box perpendicularly connected to the front section. The steel box contains a bridge carriage ship conveyor, which includes a telescopic cylinder. The middle and rear sections of the telescopic cylinder are housed within the cylindrical box. A conveying drive wheel is installed at the front end of the telescopic cylinder, within the longitudinal opening. The wheel's rotation direction is consistent with the ship's direction of travel. A shock-absorbing spring is installed within the inner cavity of the telescopic cylinder, between the piston of the steel box support rod and the rear of the conveying drive wheel. A limiting hole is provided on the middle wall of the telescopic cylinder, and mooring bollards are located on the upper and lower sides of the front end of the telescopic cylinder, above and below the conveying drive wheel.
[0009] Furthermore: one side between the two adjacent bridge compartments is a bridge compartment docking compartment, and the other side is a bridge compartment watertight compartment. A tilting door is hinged to the top of each bridge compartment docking compartment and each bridge compartment watertight compartment, and its opening and closing are controlled by a tilting door cylinder. An electric suction cup U-shaped seal is installed inside each bridge compartment watertight compartment. The electric suction cup U-shaped seal has a U-shaped cross-section, with both sides of the U-shaped cross-section movably installed within the side walls of the bridge compartment. A groove is provided on the bottom side of the U-shaped cross-section facing the bridge compartment watertight compartment. An internal vertical telescopic cylinder is connected, the cylinder body of which is fixed to the watertight compartment of the bridge car. The telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder is fixed to the groove of the electric suction cup U-shaped seal. A water-stop sealing strip is provided on the side of the bottom edge of the electric suction cup U-shaped seal facing the connection gap between the bridge cars. On the same navigation facility axis in the lifting channel, the watertight compartments of the first bridge car outlet and the last bridge car inlet are each hinged to a tilting door in the water above the bridge car floating vessel. The tilting door is controlled by a tilting door cylinder to open and close.
[0010] Furthermore: concave guide grooves are provided at intervals on both sides of the downstream and upstream channels. A channel guide is slidably installed in each concave guide groove. A channel vessel conveyor is arranged along the direction of ship operation in each channel guide. A channel guide amplitude regulating water is installed below the channel vessel conveyor in the channel guide. A channel guide valve is installed at the bottom of the guide. The valve is used to adjust the channel guide so that the channel vessel conveyor can adapt to the hull.
[0011] Furthermore: the channel vessel conveyor includes a telescopic hydraulic cylinder, in which a conveying drive wheel is installed at the front end. The rotation direction of the conveying drive wheel is consistent with the running direction of the vessel. A shock-absorbing spring is installed in the inner cavity of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder between the piston of the steel box support rod and the rear of the conveying drive wheel. A limiting hole is provided on the middle wall of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder.
[0012] Furthermore, several winches are installed on both sides of the lifting channel at the upper part of the lifting tower. Each set of winches is matched with a fixed pulley. The lifting wire rope of the winch is connected to the bridge car through a winch gravity sensor.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0014] Because at least two parallel bridge chambers are installed in the lifting tower on the same navigation facility axis, and the bridge chambers are connected to each other through a bridge chamber docking compartment and a bridge chamber watertight compartment, the watertight compartment and the bridge chamber docking compartment can be automatically separated or connected by the hydraulic cylinder to change the combination operation of the waterway, so as to achieve the purpose of multiple carriages and multiple ships navigating at the same time; at the same time, the bridge chamber and the counterweight are equipped with valves respectively. By opening the valves to release water in the bridge chamber or the counterweight, the gravity water of the bridge chamber and the counterweight can be adjusted in both directions, so that the chain lifting drive can achieve the purpose of energy-saving and consumption-reducing operation. It also solves the technical bottleneck problem that restricts the construction of water transportation in the implementation plan of the "Outline for Building a Transportation Power".

Detailed Implementation
[0060] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.
[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The illustrated embodiment 1 includes a lifting tower 002 with an internal lifting channel and a bridge car located within the lifting channel. A central control room 001 is located at the top of the lifting tower. Several sets of fixed pulleys 003 and winches 006 are located on both sides of the lifting channel on the upper part of the lifting tower 002. The fixed pulleys 003 and winches 006 are arranged along the direction of the ship's entry and exit. A balancing steel cable 007 is attached to each fixed pulley. One end of the balancing steel cable is connected to the bridge car via a bridge car gravity sensor 017, and the other end... The end is connected to the counterweight 016 via a balance weight sensor electronic crane scale 015. Each winch 006 is wound with a lifting steel wire rope 009, the tail end of which is connected to the bridge car via a winch gravity sensor 018. The bottom of the bridge car is equipped with a bridge car valve 025, and the bridge car is filled with bridge car float water 024. The counterweight is equipped with a counterweight valve 087, and the counterweight is filled with balance water. By opening the valve to release the bridge car float water or balance water, bidirectional adjustment of the gravity water in the bridge car and the counterweight can be achieved. Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, two parallel bridge carriages 043 and 044 are located on the same navigation facility axis within the elevator tower 002. Bridge carriages 043 and 044 are connected by a bridge carriage docking compartment 048 and a bridge carriage watertight compartment 049. The opening and closing of two tilting doors 010 controls the connection between the two bridge carriages. Figure 17 As shown, each bridge car has two opposing inner sides with corresponding slots spaced apart. Each slot contains a bridge car ship conveyor mounting steel box 106. The front section of the bridge car ship conveyor mounting steel box is longitudinally open, and the rear section is a columnar box that is perpendicularly connected to the front section. The bridge car ship conveyor 021 is installed inside the bridge car ship conveyor mounting steel box. A bridge car steel plate 105 is fixedly installed on the top of the bridge car ship conveyor mounting steel box. The bridge car steel plate 105 has a bridge car gravity sensor connection hole 088 and a winch gravity sensor connection hole 089. Figure 21-24 As shown, the bridge-type ship conveyor includes a telescopic hydraulic cylinder 083. The middle and rear sections of this telescopic hydraulic cylinder are installed in the cylindrical box body of the bridge-type ship conveyor housing the steel box. A conveying drive wheel 079 is installed in the front end of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder, and the rotation direction of the wheel surface is consistent with the ship's running direction. Bridge-type ship conveying limit sensors 099, 098, 097, and 096 are installed on both sides of the bridge-type ship conveyor 021. Figure 9 As shown, opposing infrared limit sensors are formed, and their function is to control the operation of the bridge-type ship conveyor 021.
[0062] When ships 076 and 077 need to navigate upstream, such as Figure 35As shown, the downstream channel ship conveyor 011 transports ships 076 and 077 into bridge chambers 043 and 044. The bridge chamber ship conveyor 021 transports ship 077 from bridge chamber 043 to bridge chamber 044, where the bridge chamber ship conveying limit sensor 096 is located. The conveying drive wheel 079 of the bridge chamber ship conveyor pushes against the ship to prevent collision with the bridge chamber wall. The conveying drive wheel moves the ship, preventing pressure on the ship's sidewalls. Ship 077 blocks and cuts off the infrared light from the bridge chamber ship conveying limit sensor 096 on bridge chamber 044. Figure 39 As shown, the bridge-carriage ship conveyor 021 on bridge 044 stops operating and clamps and fixes the ship 077 inside bridge 044, as... Figure 36 As shown. Ship conveyor 021 transports ship 076 to the position of ship conveying limit sensor 098 on bridge 043. Ship 076 blocks the infrared light from ship conveying limit sensor 098 on bridge 043, as shown. Figure 36 As shown, the bridge-carriage ship conveyor 021 on bridge 043 stops operating and clamps and fixes the ship 076 in bridge 043.
[0063] When ships 077 and 076 need to navigate downstream, such as Figure 40 As shown, the upstream channel ship conveyor transports ships 077 and 076 to bridge compartments 044 and 043. Bridge compartment ship conveyor 021 transports ship 077 from bridge compartment 044 to bridge compartment 043 at the position of bridge compartment ship conveying limit sensor 099. Ship 077 cuts off the infrared shielding of bridge compartment ship conveying limit sensor 099 in bridge compartment 043, stopping bridge compartment ship conveyor 021 on bridge compartment 043 and clamping and fixing ship 077 inside bridge compartment 043. Ship conveyor 021 transports ship 076 to the position of ship conveying limit sensor 097 in bridge compartment 044. Ship 076 cuts off the infrared shielding of bridge compartment ship conveying limit sensor 097 in bridge compartment 044, stopping ship conveyor 021 on bridge compartment 044 and clamping and fixing ship 076 inside bridge compartment 044. Figure 36 As shown.
[0064] like Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, a shock-absorbing spring 084 is installed in the inner cavity of the telescopic cylinder of the bridge-type ship conveyor 21, between the piston of the conveyor drive wheel 079 and the steel box support rod 082. When the ship is small, the telescopic cylinder 083 pushes the conveyor drive wheel 079 outward, so that the conveyor drive wheel just touches the hull. When the bridge-type ship moves up or down, the ship may sway slightly with the water from the floating bridge-type ship, pushing the conveyor drive wheel backward. At this time, the shock-absorbing spring achieves the effect of telescopic shock absorption. A limiting hole 081 is provided on the middle wall of the telescopic cylinder, and mooring bollards 078 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the conveyor drive wheel at the front end of the telescopic cylinder for fixing small non-standard ships to the bridge-type ship. Figure 7 As shown, each fixed pulley 003 on the upper part of the lifting tower 002 is equipped with an electronic crane scale 005, and a lifting chain 008 is suspended below the electronic crane scale, such as... Figure 16 As shown, the middle section of the chain engages with the chain lifting drive 020 located in the U-shaped keel 063 of the bridge beam, and the bottom end of the chain is connected to the reverse electronic crane scale 027. The electronic crane scale is connected to the reverse tie rod 028 fixedly installed on the lifting tower foundation 029; as shown Figures 13-16 , Figures 18-20 As shown, multiple U-shaped crossbeams 063 are spaced apart on both sides of the bridge carriage facing the tower wall. The chain lifting drive 020 includes a main drive wheel 061 and two auxiliary wheels 060 disposed on the U-shaped crossbeams 063. The two auxiliary wheels 060 are respectively located above and below the main drive wheel 061, and the three are arranged in a transverse isosceles triangle. The drive wheel is driven by a hydraulic motor 072 and equipped with a braking mechanism. The hydraulic motor is mounted on one side of the U-shaped crossbeam 063 and drives the drive shaft 070 of the main drive wheel 061. Both ends of the shaft are fitted into bearings 065. The bearing support terminals 064 of the bearings are installed in holes provided on the U-shaped keel of the bridge beam. The brake disc 067 of the braking mechanism is installed on the other end of the drive shaft 070. A brake support 069 is installed on the side of the U-shaped keel of the bridge beam at this end. The inner ring of the brake support has a groove for the edge of the brake disc to extend into. A brake friction pad 068 is provided in the groove, and the brake disc is disposed between the brake friction pads. The auxiliary wheel 060 is installed on the auxiliary shaft 066. Both ends of the auxiliary shaft pass through holes provided on the U-shaped keel of the bridge beam and are connected to... A braking mechanism is connected, which is the same as the braking mechanism of the main drive wheel. On the U-shaped keel 063 of the bridge beam, multiple guide rails are provided on the side where the main drive wheel 061 and each auxiliary wheel 060 mesh with the lifting chain 008. The guide rail on the side where the main drive wheel 061 meshes with the lifting chain is a chain running guide rail 057, the shape of which is adapted to the running path on the side where the main drive wheel meshes with the chain. The guide rail next to the upper auxiliary wheel 060 is a guide rail 059, the first end of which is vertically upward and parallel to the lifting chain. Parallel to 008, a short guide rail 058 is vertically installed on the other side of the chain. The guide rail 059 next to the auxiliary wheel 060 on the lower side is also a guide rail. The end of the guide rail is vertically downward and parallel to the lifting chain 008. A short guide rail 058 is vertically installed on the other side of the chain. The main drive wheel is driven by a hydraulic motor to rotate the auxiliary wheel and crawl on the chain, thereby controlling the lifting of the bridge car. The rotation of the main drive wheel and the auxiliary wheel is controlled by a braking mechanism. When the braking mechanism is locked, the bridge car can be locked and will not slip.
[0065] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, on one side of the two adjacent bridge chambers 043 and 044 on the same navigation facility axis is the bridge chamber docking compartment 048, and on the other side is the bridge chamber watertight compartment 049. The bridge chamber docking compartment 048 is located at the outlet downstream of bridge chamber 043 in the upstream direction, and the bridge chamber watertight compartment 049 is located at the entrance downstream of bridge chamber 044 in the upstream direction. A tilting door 010 is hinged to the top of the docking compartment 048 in the water of the bridge chamber floating vessel, and a tilting door 010 is also hinged to the top of the watertight compartment 049 in the water of the bridge chamber floating vessel 024. Each tilting door is controlled by its respective tilting door cylinder 053. The cylinder body of the tilting door cylinder 053 is hinged to the top of the corresponding bridge chamber watertight compartment or bridge chamber docking compartment, and the extension rod of each tilting door cylinder is hinged to its respective tilting door. When a vessel enters the bridge chamber, and the bridge chamber needs to rise or fall to transport the vessel, the tilting door cylinder drives the tilting door to stand upright, sealing the bridge chamber floating vessel inside the bridge chamber. Figure 33 As shown, an electric suction cup U-shaped seal 051 controlled by a telescopic cylinder 054 is installed in the watertight compartment 049 of the bridge compartment. The water-stop sealing strip 052 of the electric suction cup U-shaped seal faces the connecting gap between the bridge compartments 043 and 044. When two ships need to be transported and the two bridge compartments need to be connected, the telescopic cylinder in the watertight compartment of the bridge compartment pushes the electric suction cup U-shaped seal outward. The water-stop sealing strip of the electric suction cup U-shaped seal presses against the outer wall of the bridge compartment docking compartment 048, preventing the floating water of the bridge compartment from seeping out from the gap between the docking compartment 048 and the watertight compartment 049. The tilting door cylinder drives the tilting door to tilt down, allowing the waterways of the two bridge compartments to be connected, forming a multi-compartment transport.
[0066] like Figure 34 As shown, when only one ship needs to be transported, and the ship has reached bridge compartment 044, it is necessary to separate bridge compartment 043 from bridge compartment 044. The hydraulic cylinders on the tilting doors of bridge compartment docking compartment 048 and bridge compartment watertight compartment 049 drive their respective tilting doors to stand up. The telescopic cylinder in the bridge compartment watertight compartment retracts the electric suction cup U-shaped seal inward. The water-stop seal of the electric suction cup U-shaped seal is retracted into the bridge compartment watertight compartment. A small gap is left between docking compartment 048 and bridge compartment watertight compartment 048. When bridge compartment 044 rises, there is no friction between them.
