The main functions are to regulate water flow, control water levels, protect downstream and utilize water resources. However, the construction of weirs blocks the natural river channel, causing changes in the flow pattern of the river channel, siltation, and blocking the natural migration channel of aquatic organisms. Therefore, it is necessary to overcome the existing technical problems and construct a multifunctional ecological weir structure that can freely and flexibly rotate and release water on the basis of the single water retaining function of the traditional weir to form a biological migration channel and water landscape.

[0008] Preferably, an ecological flow discharge hole is provided in the middle of the weir body to replenish the downstream ecological flow all year round and also serve as a fish passage hole.
[0009] Preferably, a traffic bridge is provided above the weir body for vehicles and pedestrians to pass through when the water level is low, and for flood water from upstream to flow through when the water level is high.

[0029] To make the purpose and technical solutions of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0030] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, a multifunctional ecological weir of the present utility model includes a weir body 1, an ecological flow discharge hole 2, a diversion channel 3, a water turning bucket 4, a rotating shaft 5, a rolling bearing 6, a wing wall 7, a stilling basin 8, and a traffic bridge 9. The weir body 1 is a water retaining structure for realizing the function of raising water level. An ecological flow discharge hole 2 is arranged in the middle of the weir body 1 to discharge water all year round to supplement the downstream ecological flow and also serve as a fish passage; a multi-stage "ellipsoidal shell" water turning bucket 4 that can automatically turn is arranged in the center of the downstream of the weir body 1. The left and right sides of each stage of the water turning bucket 4 are fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 5. A rolling bearing 6 is fixedly connected to the wing wall 7. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the wing walls 7 on both banks through the rolling bearing 6; the upper and lower stages of the water turning bucket 4 are independent of each other; the water turning bucket 4 is connected to the wing wall 7 through the rotating shaft 5 and the rolling bearing 6. After the water turning bucket 4 is filled with water, the center of gravity continuously rises. When the center of gravity is higher than the height of the rotating shaft 5, the water turning bucket 4 automatically turns, sequentially transporting the water volume. After the water drops, the flow velocity is reduced. At the same time, after the water turning bucket 4 is tilted, it turns into a slope, reducing the height difference between each stage of the water turning bucket 4 to form a biological migration channel; when the water turning bucket 4 has completed water discharge and the center of gravity is lower than the height of the rotating shaft 5, the water turning bucket 4 returns to its initial position to form a water storage landscape. A traffic bridge 9 is arranged on the upper part of the weir body 1, allowing vehicles and pedestrians to pass during the dry season and directly passing through floodwater during the flood season to increase the water passing section; a diversion channel 3 is arranged on one side of the weir 1 to divert and distribute water resources in proportion for the domestic use of the residents in the downstream villages; the stilling basin 8 slows down the flow velocity of the downstream water flow and adopts submerged energy dissipation.
[0031] As Figure 5 shown, the construction method of the present utility model includes the following steps:
[0032] S1. Determine the height of the traffic bridge 9, the crest height of the weir body 1, and the orifice size of the ecological flow discharge hole 2 according to the downstream discharge, and comprehensively determine the crest width according to the pedestrian traffic requirements;
[0033] S2. Set the elevation and dimensions of the three orifices of the diversion channel lower than the elevation of the two orifices of the discharge orifice for the ecological flow according to the elevation of the discharge orifice and the diversion flow rate.
[0034] S3. Determine the morphological structure dimensions of the tipping bucket 4 and the fixed positions of the rotating shaft 5 and the rolling bearing 6 according to the tipping conditions such as the discharged flow rate and the change of the center of gravity of the stored water, so as to meet the functional requirements of "tipping when empty and overturning when full".
[0035] S4. Determine the number and fixed positions of the tipping buckets 4 according to the plane layout, height and structural dimensions of the weir body 1.
[0036] S5. Determine the length and depth of the stilling basin 8 according to the discharged flood flow rate and velocity.
[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not impose any formal restrictions on the present utility model. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
