An accommodation groove is opened inside the water retaining dam body. A water blocking plate is slidably connected inside the accommodation groove. A sliding groove is opened inside the water blocking plate, and a movable plate is slidably connected between the inner walls of the sliding groove. A displacement component is arranged on the top of the water blocking plate, and the displacement component is used to drive the movable plate to move. Outer water inlets are opened on both sides of the water blocking plate, and inner water inlets are opened inside the movable plate, and the outer water inlets correspond to the inner water inlets. This application aims to solve the problem that in actual use, when the existing water retaining dam accumulates a lot of water and then suddenly drains a large area of water, it is easy to damage the water retaining dam body, affecting the service life and subsequent use of the water retaining dam, thus causing certain limitations to the use of the water retaining dam and being not conducive to actual use; Prior Art 2 (Chinese Patent with application number CN202021469387.2, published on June 11, 2021) A water retaining dam for a water conservancy and hydropower project that can be adjusted, including a dam. A flowing water channel is opened in the middle of the dam. A bottom plate is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the dam. Two sliders are slidably arranged on the upper end surface of the bottom plate. A valve plate is detachably arranged at one end of the slider close to the flowing water channel. A driving component for driving the slider to move is arranged on the upper end surface of the bottom plate, and a guiding component for guiding is arranged on the lower end surface of the valve plate. This application has the effect of driving the valve plate to open and close by using the driving component, facilitating the adjustment of the river water flow rate; Prior Art 3 (Chinese Patent with application number CN202320819203.8, published on October 31, 2023) A water retaining dam for a water conservancy and hydropower project that can be adjusted, including a dam body, a rotary water gate for adjusting the water flow rate in the middle of the dam body, a first flowing water channel for passing water opened in the middle of the dam body, a driving device for carrying and driving the anti-friction device and the rotary water gate, a locking device for preventing the rotary water gate from being overloaded, and a driving device for providing driving power. For the water retaining dam for a water conservancy and hydropower project that can be adjusted, a first flowing water channel is opened in the middle of the dam body, and an arc-shaped water gate installation groove adapted to the rotary water gate is opened inside the dam body. Arc-shaped sliding rails are symmetrically opened at the top of the water gate installation groove; the rotary water gate is movably installed in the water gate installation groove between the dam bodies. For this water retaining dam for a water conservancy and hydropower project that can be adjusted, the anti-seepage effect between the dam body and the rotary water gate is good with stable and firm connection.
[0004] When the current water retaining dam adjusts the flow rate, it opens the channel by controlling the gate to move upward. However, this method causes the water flow to be discharged at high speed under high pressure, resulting in greater impacts caused by the excessive flow rate, affecting the service life of the equipment. Moreover, the current device is not convenient for detecting the water flow rate, so the flow rate of the water retaining dam cannot be automatically controlled. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water retaining dam for water conservancy and hydropower projects with adaptive flow regulation, so as to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology. When the current water retaining dam adjusts the flow rate, it opens the channel by controlling the gate to move upward.

[0013] Further optimize this technical solution. The flow detection mechanism includes a second mounting block, a runner, and a rotational speed detector;
[0014] The second mounting block is fixed above the gate;
[0015] The runner is rotatably mounted inside the second mounting block, and the water flow drives the runner to rotate;
[0016] The rotational speed detector is connected to the runner to detect the rotational speed of the runner.
[0017] Further optimize this technical solution. A first mounting block is fixed above the gate, and a floating plate is vertically slidably mounted inside the first mounting block.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0034] (1) The embedding seat provides a downward storage space for the sluice gate. The flow rate of the water body is controlled by the downward movement of the sluice gate. Since the water body flows out from the sluice gate, the flow rate and velocity of the water body can be controlled by controlling the descending amount of the sluice gate. Compared with the upward opening of the sluice gate, it has a smaller water impact force and prolongs its service life.
[0035] (2) The auxiliary support block in the embedding seat can provide bottom support for the sluice gate, avoiding excessive force exerted on the driving rod by the self-weight of the sluice gate, protecting the support rod, and enabling the support rod to better drive the sluice gate to move subsequently.
[0036] (3) The water flow velocity on the sluice gate can be detected by the runner and the rotational speed detector. At the same time, the distance between the floating plate and the rangefinder can also reflect the water flow height, so as to understand the water flow state on the sluice gate. Subsequently, the sluice gate can be controlled to move through this data to achieve adaptive regulation and control of the flow rate.
[0037] (4) The guiding plate can be limited by the connection between the card block and the card slot, and the sluice gate can be locked to prevent the sluice gate from directly falling when the support rod is damaged, resulting in the failure of its water blocking effect. Moreover, the movement of the card block can be controlled by electrification. Before controlling the movement of the support rod, the circuit can be connected to automatically release the connection between the card block and the card slot. Description of the Drawings

[0048] Please refer to Figures 1 - 8 , Embodiment 1: The present invention provides the following technical solutions: A water retaining dam for a water conservancy and hydropower project with adaptive flow regulation, including a dam body 1 and a gate plate 2.

Above the gate plate 2, there is a moving control mechanism, and the moving control mechanism is installed in the mounting seat 3 to control the vertical movement of the gate plate 2. Below the gate plate 2, there is an embedding seat 4, and the embedding seat 4 is located below the dam body 1. The inside of the embedding seat 4 is hollow, and an auxiliary support mechanism is arranged inside the embedding seat 4 to provide auxiliary support force for the gate plate 2. And a vertical sliding structure is formed between the gate plate 2 and the embedding seat 4, and the flow rate is controlled by the downward movement of the gate plate 2. Above the gate plate 2, there is a flow detection mechanism to regulate the water body flow rate through the flow detection mechanism. On the outside of the gate plate 2, there is a sealing strip 5, and the sealing strip 5 is installed at the bottom of the dam body 1 to seal the connection between the gate plate 2 and the embedding seat 4.
[0049] When constructing the dam body 1, the installation position of the embedding seat 4 is dug downward deeply to provide a storage space for the subsequent downward movement of the gate plate 2. When it is necessary to control the water flow, the gate plate 2 can be controlled to move downward through the movement control mechanism, and the gate plate 2 is moved below the liquid level height. At this time, the water body begins to flow through the gate plate 2. By controlling the downward movement distance of the gate plate 2, the water flow rate and velocity can be controlled. The auxiliary support mechanism can provide auxiliary support below the gate plate 2 to reduce the load of the movement control mechanism. The flow detection mechanism can detect the water flow velocity on the gate plate 2, and then adjust the position of the gate plate 2 through its data to achieve adaptive flow regulation.

The flow detection mechanism includes a second mounting block 17, a runner 21 and a rotational speed detector 22. The second mounting block 17 is fixed above the gate plate 2. The runner 21 is rotatably installed inside the second mounting block 17, and the water body flow drives the runner 21 to rotate.

[0051] The auxiliary support block 6 provides an upward thrust force for the gate plate 2 through the buffer spring 7. When the gate plate 2 moves downward, the auxiliary support block 6 is compressed and moves horizontally, compressing the buffer spring 7. When the gate plate 2 moves upward, the auxiliary support block 6 automatically moves under the action of the buffer spring 7 to provide an auxiliary support effect for the gate plate 2. The water flow velocity is detected by the runner 21 and the rotational speed detector 22. When the water body flows through the gate plate 2, the floating plate 19 moves upward under the action of buoyancy, and the distance measuring instrument 20 detects the distance change, and the water body height data can be collected. Subsequently, the data is fed back to the movement control mechanism to control the movement adjustment of the gate plate 2.
[0052] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 2, it is disclosed that the mobile control mechanism includes a driving rod 9, a rotating gear 10, a transmission gear 13, a mounting shaft 14 and a reduction drive motor 15. The driving rod 9 is fixed above the gate plate 2. The rotating gear 10 is rotatably installed inside the mounting seat 3.

The transmission gear 13 is arranged outside the rotating gear 10 and forms a meshing connection with the rotating gear 10. The mounting shaft 14 is fixed in the middle of the transmission gear 13. The reduction drive motor 15 is arranged above the mounting seat 3, and the reduction drive motor 15 is connected to the mounting shaft 14 to control the rotation of the mounting shaft 14. A plurality of balls 11 are evenly distributed below the transmission gear 13, and an annular positioning ring 12 is fixed on the transmission gear 13, and a sliding connection is formed between the positioning ring 12 and the mounting seat 3.

[0053] The connection between the clamping block 24 and the card slot 23 can limit the guiding plate 18 and position the gate plate 2. The auxiliary support block 5 in the embedding seat 4 can provide bottom support for the gate plate 2, avoiding excessive force exerted on the driving rod 9 by the gate plate 2 due to its own weight, protecting the support rod 9, and also enabling the support rod 9 to better drive the gate plate 2 to move subsequently. When it is necessary to control the movement of the gate plate 2, the circuit connection between the reduction drive motor 15 and the electromagnet 27 is connected.

The transmission gear 13 drives the rotating gear 10 to rotate through the meshing with the rotating gear 10. The rotating gear 10 drives the driving rod 9 to move vertically through the threaded connection with the driving rod 9, thereby controlling the movement of the gate plate 2.
