[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model ship lock auxiliary control device comprises a ship lock body 1 with a concave longitudinal section, a gate 2 arranged across is slidably connected inside the concave part of the ship lock body 1, a plurality of water flow valves 3 for adjusting the water level are penetrated through the gate 2 at an underwater position, a plurality of limit protection mechanisms 4 arranged in the water body at intervals are respectively arranged upstream and downstream of the gate 2, each of the limit protection mechanisms 4 comprises a slide groove 4-1 arranged up and down and arranged at the concave bottom of the ship lock body 1, a protection rod 4-2 arranged up and down is slidably connected inside the slide groove 4-1, and the outer periphery of the protection rod 4-2 is connected to shock-absorbing spring columns 4-3 distributed along the circumference, and the outer end of each of the shock-absorbing spring columns 4-3 is connected to a protection curved surface 4-4, so that the outer end surface of the circumferentially arranged shock-absorbing spring column 4-3 constitutes a smooth curved surface.

[0028] The inner end of the shock-absorbing spring column 4-3 is fixedly connected to the protection rod 4-2, and the outer end is fixedly connected to the protection curved surface 4-4.

[0029] Preferably, the outer end surface of the circumferentially arranged shock-absorbing spring column 4-3 is a circular curved surface, and the circular curved surface is distributed in the middle position of the protective rod 4-2.

[0030] The utility model arranges protective rods 4-2 arranged at intervals upstream and downstream of the gate respectively, and ships are forcibly dispersed by the protective rods 4-2 to avoid ships approaching and colliding with each other; at the same time, circumferentially arranged shock-absorbing spring columns 4-3 are arranged on the outer periphery of the protective rods 4-2, and the outer ends of the shock-absorbing spring columns 4-3 are connected to protective curved surfaces 4-4. When a ship rubs against the protective curved surface 4-4, the shock-absorbing effect of the shock-absorbing spring columns 4-3 is used to improve the protection capability of the ship body and avoid collision between ships.

[0031] The inner walls of the concave sides of the lock body 1 are provided with water flow level sensors 5 for monitoring the water level, and the concave top of the lock body 1 is provided with a control mechanism 7, and the control mechanism 7 includes a fixed box 7-1 fixed to the concave top of the lock body 1, and the fixed box 7-1 is respectively provided with a data analysis module 7-3, an infinite module 7-4, and a main control module 7-5; the data analysis module 7-3 is used to receive the water level data sent by the water flow level sensor 5, analyze the water level data, and transmit the analyzed water level data to the staff, crew and the main control module 7-5 through the infinite module 7-4; the main control module 7-5 is used to control the opening and closing of the gate 2 and the water flow valve 3, and control the raising and lowering of the protection bar 4-2 according to the water level data.

[0032] Preferably, heat dissipation holes 7-2 are respectively provided on two opposite side walls of the fixing box 7-1.

[0033] In addition, auxiliary mechanisms 6 are respectively provided on the inner walls on both sides of the concave shape of the lock body 1. The auxiliary mechanisms 6 include shock-absorbing and damping columns 6-1 fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the concave shape of the lock body 1 and arranged laterally. The outer ends of the shock-absorbing and damping columns 6-1 are connected to protective plates 6-2 arranged longitudinally.

[0034] The utility model fixes and connects laterally arranged shock-absorbing and damping columns 6-1 to the inner walls of the concave sides of the ship lock body 1, and connects longitudinally arranged protective plates 6-2 to the outer ends of the shock-absorbing and damping columns 6-1. When friction occurs between the ship and the protective plates 6-2, the shock-absorbing effect of the shock-absorbing and damping columns 6-1 improves the protection capability of the ship body and avoids collision between the ship and the gate.

[0035] Preferably, a plurality of water flow level sensors 5 are provided, and the plurality of water flow level sensors 5 are in an array and fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the concave portion of the ship lock body 1 .

[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when the hull is about to reach the ship lock body 1, the water flow level sensor 5 monitors the water levels upstream and downstream of the gate 2, and then transmits the water level data to the data analysis module 7-3. The data analysis module 7-3 analyzes the water level data and transmits the water level data to the staff, crew and main control module 7-5, so that the staff and crew can understand the situation in real time. The main control module 7-5 determines whether the water level needs to be adjusted according to the water level data. If the water level needs to be adjusted, the water level is adjusted to the appropriate position in real time by opening the water flow valve 3. Then the gate 2 is started in a predetermined manner. When the gate 2 is started, the protective rod 4-2 rises to forcibly separate the ships traveling in parallel. At this time, if the ship collides with the limit protection mechanism 4 or the auxiliary mechanism 6, the corresponding shock-absorbing spring column 4-3 and the shock-absorbing damping column 6-1 can play a shock-proof effect to prevent the ship from being damaged.

[0039] The utility model can not only avoid collisions between ships or between ships and gates, but also improve the protection capability of the ship hull and the outer shell of the gate when the hull rubs against each other, thereby improving the ship passing control effect of the ship lock.

Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principle of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
