DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to the description.
[0021] Embodiment: As Figures 1 to 8 shown, a self-cleaning fish passing system includes a fish ladder body 11, the water inlet end of the fish ladder body 11 is connected with a water inlet 1, the water outlet end of the fish ladder body 11 is connected with a floating member 8, a sewage channel 4 is arranged below the fish ladder body 11, a rotating groove 13 is formed at the inlet of the water inlet 1, and a rotating plate 12 is arranged in the rotating groove 13.
[0022] The lower part of the inner wall of the rotating groove 13 is symmetrically provided with a rotating hole 16, and the inner wall of the rotating groove 13 is symmetrically provided with a transmission groove 18 near the fish ladder body 11, the inner wall of the transmission groove 18 is provided with a mounting groove 33, the mounting groove 33 is fixedly installed with a motor 17, the output end of the motor 17 extends into the transmission groove 18, a gear 32 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 17, and a bearing 15 is further fixedly installed between the inner wall of the rotating hole 16 and the rotating shaft 19.
[0023] The rotating shaft 19 is inserted into the rotating hole 16, the sector plate 22 is symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the rotating plate 12 near the transmission groove 18, the sector plate 22 is embedded in the transmission groove 18, the arc-shaped groove 20 is formed on the outer wall of the sector plate 22 near the motor 17, the gear tooth 21 is installed on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 20 at equal intervals, the gear 32 is embedded in the arc-shaped groove 20, and the gear 32 is embeddedly connected with the gear tooth 21.

[0025] Through the above technical scheme, in use, the water flow sensor 30 detects the water flow rate in the water inlet channel 1 and transmits the detection result to the motor 17. By comparing the detected value with the preset value, if it is lower than the preset value, the motor 17 is started. The meshing connection of the gear 32 and the gear teeth 21 drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate outward, reduces the vertical height of the rotating plate 12, and makes the external water flow more easily enter the inside of the water inlet channel 1, thereby increasing the water flow rate. If it is higher than the preset value, the motor 17 drives the gear 32 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the rotating plate 12 to shrink inward, increasing the vertical height of the rotating plate 12, and slowing down the external water flow, thereby reducing the water flow rate.
