Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aqueduct ship lift design technology, and in particular relates to a ship lift for aqueduct operations. Background Technology
[0002] An aqueduct is a water conveyance structure used to transport water across obstacles such as rivers, roads, and valleys. It mainly consists of the aqueduct body, supporting structures (such as piers and frames), foundations, and inlet / outlet structures. The aqueduct body is the main part of the aqueduct, used to hold and transport water. For example, some aqueducts in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project use large precast concrete structures for their bodies, enabling efficient transport of water resources from one area to another. Aqueduct ship lifts use mechanical devices to raise or lower ships from one water level to another. Aqueduct ship lifts are of great significance in some comprehensive water conservancy development projects, enabling water resource allocation, ensuring navigation needs, and promoting regional economic development and comprehensive utilization of water resources.
[0003] When existing ship lifts are in operation, the ships are prone to moving under the influence of water flow as they float inside the lift chamber, posing a risk of scraping against the inner wall of the chamber. In addition, ships that are not properly positioned are prone to swaying in the chamber, affecting the stability of the lifting process. Existing ship lifts also have a large load on their own, and suspended ship lifts are inconvenient to maintain. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model is proposed.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a ship lift for aqueduct operations, comprising a mobile device for driving the lifting and lowering of ships and supporting their movement, a support device for bearing weight and traction at the bottom of the mobile device, and a lifting device for carrying and limiting the movement of ships below the support device.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, the supporting device includes two symmetrically arranged bases, two symmetrically arranged support rails between the two bases, two symmetrically arranged brackets on the top of the bases, a second take-up reel rotatably arranged on the top of the brackets, a second motor installed on one side of the second take-up reel, and a traction line arranged on the second take-up reel.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, a second take-up reel is rotatably mounted on the top of the support frame, a second motor is installed on one side of the second take-up reel, and a traction line is provided on the second take-up reel.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, the lifting device includes a ship compartment, four lifting lines are symmetrically arranged on the top of the ship compartment, and two supports are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the ship compartment.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, the support has two opening and closing arms that are symmetrically rotated back and forth at the bottom, and the top of the opening and closing arms is provided with gears.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, a third motor is installed on the top of the support, and an airbag is provided at the end of the opening and closing arm.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, the mobile device includes a mobile frame, and four first take-up reels are symmetrically rotated on both sides of the mobile frame, with a first motor installed on the outer side of each first take-up reel.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, four hydraulic cylinders are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the ship compartment, a baffle is provided at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the movable frame is slidably connected to the support rail.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, the lifting line is wound around the first take-up reel, and the traction line is bolted to the moving frame.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the ship lift for the aqueduct operation described in this utility model, the baffle is slidably connected to the ship compartment.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The support supports the third motor to drive the bottom corresponding opening and closing arm to rotate. The gear at the top of the opening and closing arm meshes with the adjacent gear to rotate, so that the opening and closing arm on the same side rotates in the same way. The four opening and closing arms drive the end airbag to clamp the boat in the middle, preventing it from moving under the action of the water flow in the boat compartment and avoiding the boat from scraping against the boat compartment. At the same time, the positioned boat can stabilize the center of gravity of the boat compartment, prevent the boat compartment from shaking, and make the lifting and lowering more stable.
[0016] 2. By adopting a design that uses a traction line to pull the mobile frame and move the cabin, the second take-up reel of the power source is placed on the base, which reduces the load on the support rail and lightens the weight of the mobile frame. At the same time, it is easier to repair the second motor and the second take-up reel located on the base in case of failure. The rope pulling method also has a lower manufacturing cost.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 A ship lift for aqueduct operations includes a mobile device 1 that drives the lifting and supporting movement of ships. The bottom of the mobile device 1 is provided with a support device 2 for bearing weight and traction. Below the support device 2 is a lifting device 3 for carrying and limiting the movement of ships.
[0027] In this embodiment: the mobile device 1 includes a mobile frame 101 for moving the ship. Four first take-up reels 102 for traction and lifting of the ship are symmetrically rotated on both sides of the mobile frame 101. A first motor 103 for driving the first take-up reels 102 is installed on the outside of the first take-up reels 102. The mobile frame 101 is slidably connected to the support rail 202. The mobile frame 101 supports the first motor 103 to drive the first take-up reels 102 to rotate. The winding and lifting line 302 drives the cabin 301 and the ship to rise.
[0028] In this embodiment: the support device 2 includes two symmetrically arranged bases 201 for overall load-bearing support. Two support rails 202 for limiting the movement of the movable frame 101 are symmetrically arranged between the two bases 201. Two brackets 203 for external support are symmetrically arranged on the top of the bases 201. A second take-up wheel 204 for traction of the movable frame 101 is rotatably arranged on the top of the bracket 203. A second motor 205 for providing rotational power is installed on one side of the second take-up wheel 204. A traction line 206 for transmitting traction force is arranged on the second take-up wheel 204. The bracket 203 supports the second motor 205 to drive the front and rear second take-up wheels 204 to rotate in different directions. The front second take-up wheel 204 releases the traction line 206, and the rear second take-up wheel 204 winds up the traction line 206, driving the movable frame 101 to move along the support rails 202, so that the lifted cabin 301 moves backward and passes over the obstacle.
[0029] In this embodiment: the lifting device 3 includes a cabin 301 for carrying the ship. Four lifting lines 302 for supporting and traction of the cabin 301 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the cabin 301. The lifting lines 302 are wound around the first take-up reel 102 so that the rotation of the first take-up reel 102 drives the lifting lines 302 to be wound up and down. The traction line 206 is bolted to the moving frame 101.
[0030] Four hydraulic cylinders 303 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the cabin 301 for telescopically moving the baffle 304. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 303 is provided with a baffle 304 for closing the cabin 301. The baffle 304 is slidably connected to the cabin 301 for easy opening and closing.
[0031] Two supports 305 for supporting rotation are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the cabin 301. Two opening and closing arms 306 for driving the airbag 309 to rotate are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the supports 305. A gear 307 for transmission is provided at the top of the opening and closing arms 306. A third motor 308 for power source is installed at the top of the supports 305. An airbag 309 for clamping the boat to prevent it from bumping is provided at the end of the opening and closing arms 306.
[0032] In use, the hydraulic cylinder 303 on the front of the cabin 301 extends, causing the baffle 304 to move down, allowing the boat to enter the cabin 301. Then, the baffle 304 returns to its original position, and the support 305 supports the third motor 308 to drive the corresponding bottom opening and closing arm 306 to rotate. The gear 307 at the top of the opening and closing arm 306 meshes with the adjacent gear 307 to rotate, causing the opening and closing arm 306 on the same side to rotate as well. The four opening and closing arms 306 drive the end airbag 309 to clamp the boat in the middle, preventing it from moving under the action of the water flow in the cabin 301 and avoiding the boat from scraping against the cabin 301. At the same time, the positioned boat can stabilize the center of gravity of the cabin 301, preventing the cabin 301 from shaking and making the lifting and lowering more stable. The first reel 102 returns to its original position and places the cabin 301 in the water. The airbag 309 retracts, and the hydraulic cylinder 303 at the rear extends and retracts to open the baffle 304, allowing the boat to leave the cabin 301.
[0033] The opening and closing arm 306 is connected to the third motor 308 by a key, and the airbag 309 is disc-shaped, which is convenient for clamping the boat and also convenient for manufacturing.
[0034] Working principle: During use, the hydraulic cylinder 303 on the front side of the cabin 301 extends, causing the baffle 304 to move downward, allowing the boat to enter the cabin 301. Then, the baffle 304 returns to its original position, and the support 305 supports the third motor 308 to drive the corresponding bottom opening arm 306 to rotate. The gear 307 at the top of this opening arm 306 meshes with the adjacent gear 307, causing the opening arm 306 on the same side to rotate as well. The four opening arms 306 drive the end airbags 309 to clamp the boat in the middle, preventing it from moving under the influence of the water flow in the cabin 301 and avoiding scraping between the boat and the cabin 301. Simultaneously, the positioned boat stabilizes the center of gravity of the cabin 301, preventing it from swaying and making lifting and lowering more stable. The moving frame 101 supports the first motor 103 to drive the first... The take-up reel 102 rotates, winding up the lifting line 302 to raise the cabin 301 and the vessel. Then, the support frame 203 supports the second motor 205, which drives the front and rear second take-up reels 204 to rotate in different directions. The front second take-up reel 204 releases the traction line 206, and the rear second take-up reel 204 winds up the traction line 206, driving the moving frame 101 to move along the support rail 202, so that the lifted cabin 301 moves backward over the obstacle. Finally, the first take-up reel 102 returns to its original position, placing the cabin 301 in the water. The airbag 309 retracts, and the hydraulic cylinder 303 located at the rear extends and retracts to open the baffle 304, allowing the vessel to sail out of the cabin 301.
