[0023] The ecological flow pipe 1 is sequentially provided with an emergency valve 2, a working flow regulating valve 3 and a maintenance valve I 4 in the direction of water flow; the fish luring water diversion pipe 5 is sequentially provided with a fish luring emergency valve 2, a stilling basin 15 working valve 6, a stilling basin 15, a working flow regulating valve 3 and a maintenance valve II 7 in the direction of water flow; Among them, the emergency valve 2, working flow regulating valve 3, and maintenance valve 1 4 are installed on the ecological flow pipe 1 to control the size and speed of the water flow, thereby providing a water flow that meets the requirements of ecological decentralization. The emergency valve 2 provides an emergency shutdown protection measure for the working valve 6 in the event of an accident. The maintenance valve 1 4 blocks water when the tailwater level is higher than the centerline of the pipeline, providing dry maintenance conditions. The working valve 6 on the fish attracting flow pipe reduces the high head water flow before the valve to a state that meets the flow rate and flow requirements of fish attracting. The maintenance valve 2 7 provides dry maintenance conditions for the working valve 6. The water diversion channel 8 effectively adjusts the water flow state, allowing the relatively concentrated water flow released by the ecological flow pipe 11 to gradually expand, so that the concentrated water flow beam matches the width of the fish attracting channel.
[0024] The diameters of the emergency valve 2, working flow regulating valve 3, maintenance valve 1 4, working valve 6 and maintenance valve 2 7 must be selected to meet the discharge flow requirements under the most unfavorable flow conditions at the lowest water head, and meet the flow rate and discharge coefficient requirements under the most unfavorable water retaining conditions at the highest water head.

[0026] The end of the water diversion channel 8 is provided with a gate 11 and a water supply valve 10. The water supply valve 10 is used to fill the water diversion fishway with water, and the gate 11 blocks the water to make the water level accumulate to a certain height, reducing the water pressure difference before and after the valve is opened, and at the same time reducing the difficulty of valve manufacturing.

The layout of the present invention is flexible. According to the specific situation of the high-dam hydropower station, the location of the branch pipe opening and the location of the energy dissipation pool 15 can be flexibly adjusted. The location of the energy dissipation pool 15 can be combined with the power plant, and the energy dissipation pool 15 also serves as a fire water pool for the power plant. Embodiment 2.
