TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hydraulic engineering, and particularly relates to a ship lock structure for efficiently passing through a dam. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ship lock is a kind of "navigable structure" and belongs to a water transportation hub. Due to the regulation of flow, channelization of navigation, and the limitation of topography and water surface slope on the canal, the river must have a stepped longitudinal section, forming a concentrated water surface fall. Therefore, a special navigable structure must be used to enable the ship to pass through the fall. The most commonly used modern navigable structure is the ship lock, which is a chamber-shaped structure composed of an upper and lower approach channel and an upper and lower lock head and lock chamber. The lock chamber is a chamber-shaped room for parking ships, and the water level in the chamber is adjusted by filling or draining water in the chamber to enable the ship to vertically ascend or descend between the upper and lower water levels, thereby passing through the concentrated water level fall of the channel. In the traditional ship lock chamber, the only passageway for the ship to pass through the lock is the water body in the chamber, and the passengers and goods on the ship can only exchange through the water body in the chamber, which is inefficient and time-consuming. SUMMARY
[0003] The ship lock structure for efficiently passing through a dam provided by the application solves the problem of the traditional ship lock chamber being the only passageway for the ship to pass through the lock, and the passengers and goods on the ship being able to exchange only through the water body in the chamber, which is inefficient and time-consuming. The ship lock chamber is functionally divided into an upstream area for parking a cruise ship, a middle area for parking a cargo ship, and a downstream area for parking a cargo ship. The left, middle, and right passengers are exchanged through the floating platform and steps, and the escape function is considered in special cases. The left, middle, and right goods are exchanged through the movable door machine at the top of the lock chamber, and the movable door machine also serves as a transfer and maintenance door. When the ship lock needs to be maintained, the steel maintenance door is hoisted and installed. The ship lock chamber is functionally divided into an upstream area for parking a cruise ship, a middle area for parking a cargo ship, and a downstream area for parking a cargo ship. The left, middle, and right passengers are exchanged through the floating platform and steps, and the escape function is considered in special cases. The left, middle, and right goods are exchanged through the movable door machine at the top of the lock chamber, and the movable door machine also serves as a transfer and maintenance door.

[0015] The invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The steps, pontoon platform, mooring bollards, mobile gantry crane, and mooring trench of the invention are all existing structures and can be purchased directly.
[0016] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this invention discloses a high-efficiency lock structure for passing through dams, comprising a lock chamber 1, lock heads 3, and two water-retaining earth-rock dams 2. The lock chamber 1 and the upper and lower lock heads 3 form a traditional lock. The water-retaining earth-rock dams 2 separate the upstream and downstream rivers. The key feature is that the two water-retaining earth-rock dams 2 are located on opposite sides of the upper and lower lock heads 3, allowing the water areas on both sides of the lock chamber 1 to connect with the upstream or downstream, thereby increasing the area of the upstream and downstream water areas outside the lock chamber 1 and providing working and maneuvering areas for ships outside the lock chamber 1. The lock chamber 1 is divided into a cruise ship berthing area and a cargo ship berthing area. Steps 4 and floating platforms 5 are provided on both sides of the lock chamber 1 in the cruise ship berthing area. The inner side of the floating platform 5 is close to the steps 4. The length of the floating platform 5 is greater than the length of the ship. The floating platform 5 is composed of several floating cylinders and steel plates. Each floating cylinder has a groove at one end and a protrusion at the other end, and the groove and protrusion fit together. Adjacent floating cylinders are connected by the groove and protrusion to form a whole. The system consists of two pontoons at the ends of the pontoon platform 5, each with a slot on its side. The pontoon platform 5 is inserted into a sliding groove 12 on the side wall of the lock chamber through the slot and can slide up and down. A steel plate is laid on the top surface of the pontoons and fixed, and mooring bollards 6 are welded onto the steel plate. Since the two ends of the pontoon platform 5 are clamped into the sliding groove 12 on the side wall of the lock chamber, it can rise and fall with the water level. In the cruise ship berthing area, there are two steps 4 on the same side of the lock chamber side wall, and the width of the two steps 4 on the same side is the same as that of the pontoon platform 5. The overall shape is an inverted trapezoid, with a vertical rescue ladder 11 in the middle. The lock chamber side walls of the cargo ship berthing area are equipped with mooring bollards 6 and mooring trenches 10. A gantry crane track 7 is installed on the top of the side walls of the lock chamber 1 on both sides. A mobile gantry crane 8 is installed on the top of the side walls of the lock chamber 1 in the cargo ship berthing area. The mobile gantry crane 8 can move along the two gantry crane tracks 7 and can be used to lift and transport the lock gate 9 for maintenance and the cargo of the cargo ship.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the left bank's earth-rock dam 2 is located to the left of the upper lock head, with the left lock chamber sidewalls all situated in the downstream waters, allowing vessels to moor and operate downstream. The right bank's earth-rock dam is located to the right of the lower lock head, with the right lock chamber sidewalls all situated in the upstream waters, allowing vessels to moor and operate upstream. The waters in the middle of the lock chambers are traditional shipping routes, requiring flooding or drainage to overcome the water level difference between the upstream and downstream areas.
[0018] like Figure 1The shown boat workflow: downstream to upstream, the left downstream boat is parked on the left side of the outer wall of the lock chamber through the pontoon platform and the mooring post. The steel plate is bound on the pontoon platform and the mooring post is welded. Meanwhile, the pontoon slide groove is clamped at both ends to ensure the stability and flatness of the pontoon platform. The tourists pass through the pontoon platform to connect the boat and the steps, reach the top of the left side of the lock chamber, and the pontoon platform can be lifted with the water level to ensure that the pontoon platform is always close to the steps. The tourists can go to the upstream by using the steps on the inner wall of the left side of the lock chamber to go down to the middle of the lock chamber and the boat, pass through the traditional route inside the lock chamber, or pass through the channel on the top of the lock chamber to the top of the right side of the lock chamber wall, and then go down to the boat parked on the right side of the lock chamber outer wall through the steps on the right side of the lock chamber outer wall, and directly reach the upstream water area, saving the time of passing through the lock. In special cases, the lifesaving ladder also serves as an escape function for tourists on the internal route of the lock chamber. Conversely, the upstream to downstream process can also be implemented through this scheme.
[0019] The cargo ship workflow: downstream to upstream, the left downstream cargo ship is parked on the left side of the outer wall of the lock chamber through the mooring post and the mooring groove, and the cargo is lifted by the moving door machine on the top of the lock chamber. The cargo can be lifted to the middle of the lock chamber and the boat, pass through the traditional route inside the lock chamber, or be lifted to the cargo ship parked on the right side of the lock chamber outer wall, directly reach the upstream water area, save the time of passing through the lock, and in special cases, the maintenance lock gate installed on the upstream and downstream lock head is also considered to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the ship lock. Conversely, the upstream to downstream process can also be implemented through this scheme.
