[0025] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0026] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Second, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to specific features, structures, or characteristics that may be included in at least one implementation manner of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an individual or selectively mutually exclusive embodiment with other embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment 1, referring to Figure 1-6 , is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a ship lift channel, including

[0029] A channel body 100, the channel body 100 is integrally in a "匚" shape with an open upper end;

[0030] A swing mechanism 200, the swing mechanism 200 includes a lifting plate 201 provided on the inner wall of the channel body 100. A swing plate 202 is hinged on the lifting plate 201. A pushing component 203 is also provided on the lifting plate 201. The output end of the pushing component 203 contacts the swing plate 202. A return spring 204 is provided between the lifting plate 201 and the swing plate 202.

[0031] The swing mechanism 200 is used to generate water waves by swinging when the ship chamber tilts, suppress the tilting trend of the ship chamber, and reduce the probability of collision between the ship chamber and the channel body 100; specifically, when the ship chamber tilts to one side, the pushing component 203 of the swing mechanism 200 on that side works, moves in the directions away from and close to the swing plate 202, intermittently squeezes the swing plate 202, and cooperates with the elastic force of the return spring 204 to make the swing plate 202 swing back and forth, thereby generating water waves to suppress the tilting trend of the ship chamber; at the same time, when the ship chamber enters the water, the swing mechanisms 200 on both sides work to push the water flow towards the middle, reducing the probability of the ship chamber approaching the side and finally colliding with the channel body 100.

[0032] Furthermore, the pushing component 203 includes a cylinder 203a provided on the lifting plate 201. A push rod 203b is provided at the output end of the cylinder 203a. The push rod 203b contacts the swing plate 202.

[0033] The cylinder 203a is vertically arranged. The lower end of the cylinder 203a is the telescopic end. The push rod 203b is provided at the lower end of the cylinder 203a. The cylinder 203a drives the push rod 203b to squeeze the swing plate 202. The push rod 203b is a cross bar with a certain length to ensure the balance and stability of the thrust. Of course, in order to ensure the swinging effect, multiple cylinders 203a can be arranged.

[0034] Furthermore, the swing mechanism 200 also includes a lifting assembly 205 arranged between the channel body 100 and the lifting plate 201, and the lifting assembly 205 includes a screw rod 205a vertically rotatably arranged on the channel body 100, and a motor 205b is arranged on the top of the screw rod 205a, and the lifting plate 201 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 205a.

[0035] The lifting assembly 205 is used to drive the overall lifting and lowering of the swing mechanism 200 to adjust the height of the swing mechanism 200 so that the swing mechanism 200 can work on the water surface; specifically, the motor 205b is fixed on the channel body 100, and the output end of the motor 205b is connected to the screw rod 205a, and the screw rod 205a is driven to rotate by the motor 205b. Since the screw rod 205a and the lifting plate 201 are threadedly connected, the rotation of the screw rod 205a drives the lifting plate 201 to move up and down on the screw rod 205a, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the entire swing mechanism 200.

[0036] Example 2, reference Figure 1-6 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, the swing mechanism 200 also includes a first guide assembly 206 arranged between the channel body 100 and the lifting plate 201, and the first guide assembly 206 includes a first guide rod 206a vertically arranged on the channel body 100, and the lifting plate 201 is passed through the first guide rod 206a.

[0037] Specifically, both sides of the lifting plate 201 are provided with first guide rods 206a to ensure the stability of the swing mechanism 200 when it is lifted and lowered as a whole.

[0038] Furthermore, the first guide assembly 206 also includes a first slide groove 206 b vertically arranged on the inner wall of the channel body 100 , a slide plate 206 c is slidably arranged in the first slide groove 206 b , and an outer end of the slide plate 206 c is fixed on the lifting plate 201 .

[0039] The limiting cooperation between the slide plate 206c and the slide groove further plays a guiding and limiting role, making the lifting and lowering of the swing mechanism 200 more stable.

[0040] Furthermore, the inner walls on both sides of the waterway body 100 are provided with a swing mechanism 200, the lower end of the swing plate 202 is hinged on the lifting plate 201, the return spring 204 is arranged between the upper end of the swing plate 202 and the lifting plate 201, the cylinder 203a is vertically arranged on the lifting plate 201, and the lower end of the cylinder 203a is fixed with a push rod 203b, and the push rod 203b is horizontally arranged.

[0041] Example 3, reference Figure 1-6, which is the third embodiment of the present invention. Different from the previous embodiment, the ascending ship machine channel also includes a buffer mechanism 300 arranged in the channel body 100, and the buffer mechanism 300 includes a horizontally arranged buffer plate 301, and a bearing assembly 302 is arranged between the buffer plate 301 and the bottom of the channel body 100.

[0042] The buffer mechanism 300 is used to form a buffer at the bottom of the ship carriage when the ship carriage enters the water, thereby reducing the overall shaking of the ship carriage when entering the water, and further reducing the possibility of the ship carriage skewing and colliding with the channel body 100; specifically, after entering the water, the ship carriage is squeezed on the upper part of the buffer plate 301, and the buffer plate 301 squeezes the bearing component 302, and the elasticity of the bearing component 302 is used to form a buffer, thereby reducing the shaking of the ship carriage.

[0043] Furthermore, the bearing assembly 302 includes a hinged rod 302a whose upper end is hinged on the buffer plate 301, and a sliding sleeve 302b is hinged at the lower end of the hinged rod 302a. A second guide rod 302c is slidably arranged in the sliding sleeve 302b, and the end of the second guide rod 302c is fixed on the inner wall of the channel body 100. A buffer spring 302d is sleeved on the second guide rod 302c, and the buffer spring 302d is located between the sliding sleeve 302b and the inner wall of the channel body 100.

[0044] When the ship-carrying compartment enters the water, the buffer plate 301 is squeezed by the ship-carrying compartment and moves downward, thereby driving the end of the hinged rod 302a away from the buffer plate 301 to slide along the second guide rod 302c toward the direction close to the buffer spring 302d, thereby squeezing the buffer spring 302d, and using the elastic force of the buffer spring 302d to offset part of the impact force of the ship-carrying compartment to improve the stability of the ship-carrying compartment when entering the water.

[0045] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism 300 also includes a second guide assembly 303 arranged between the buffer plate 301 and the channel body 100, and the second guide assembly 303 includes a second slide groove 303a vertically arranged on the channel body 100, and a slide rod 303b is slidably arranged in the second slide groove 303a, and the outer end of the slide rod 303b is fixed on the buffer plate 301.

[0046] The second guide assembly 303 is provided to ensure that the buffer plate 301 moves vertically downward when being squeezed by the ship compartment, thereby ensuring a stable buffering effect.

[0047] Furthermore, the second guide rod 302c is fixed between the inner walls on both sides of the channel body 100, and hinge rods 302a are hinged on both sides of the lower end of the buffer plate 301. The lower ends of the two hinge rods 302a are slidably arranged on both sides of the second guide rod 302c through the sliding sleeves 302b.

[0048] By setting up the swing mechanism 200 that generates water waves, when the ship carriage is deflected, the water waves generated on the deflected side suppress the tilting tendency of the ship carriage, thereby reducing the possibility of collision between the ship carriage and the channel body 100; at the same time, when the ship carriage enters the water, it is affected by the water waves on both sides, causing the water flow to push toward the middle, reducing the probability of the ship carriage approaching the side and finally colliding with the channel body 100.
