Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-saving ship lock technology, and more specifically, to a capsule-type zero-water-consumption ship lock. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial facility connecting waterways with different water levels in waterway transportation, the construction and operational efficiency of locks directly impacts the economic efficiency and environmental sustainability of inland waterway transport. In inland waterway networks, locks are indispensable navigation structures, enabling vessels to safely pass through drop zones by regulating the difference in water levels between upstream and downstream. However, the traditional lock chamber design has certain limitations and shortcomings in functional implementation, particularly in water resource management and utilization efficiency. In traditional lock operation, when a vessel needs to rise from the downstream water level to the upstream water level, the lock chamber must be filled with water to bring the water level inside the chamber to the same level as the upstream water level. This process often involves the consumption of a large amount of water resources. With increasingly scarce global water resources, especially in arid and water-scarce regions, this one-time filling operation not only exacerbates water waste but also places unnecessary pressure on the environment. Furthermore, during the filling and emptying processes of traditional locks, due to sudden changes in water flow velocity and direction, complex energy dissipation facilities are usually required to slow the water flow and prevent damage to vessels and the lock chamber structure. This not only increases construction costs but also affects the operational efficiency of the lock.
[0003] As can be seen from the above, the existing technology has the problem that raising the water level of the lock requires a large amount of water resources. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock to solve the problem that existing locks require a large amount of water resources to raise the water level.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock, comprising: a lock chamber; a capsule disposed at the bottom of the lock chamber or within the side wall of the lock chamber; and an inflation assembly disposed on at least one side of the lock chamber, the inflation assembly being connected to the capsule and used to inflate and deflate the capsule.
[0006] Furthermore, the inflation assembly includes: an inflation pump; a first connecting pipe, at least partially disposed at the bottom of the gate chamber, one end of the first connecting pipe being connected to the inflation pump; a second connecting pipe, of which there are multiple second connecting pipes, spaced apart at the bottom of the gate chamber, and both ends of any one second connecting pipe being connected to the capsule and the other end of the first connecting pipe respectively; and multiple air storage tanks, both ends of which are connected to the inflation pump and the first connecting pipe respectively.
[0007] Furthermore, the capsule is located at the bottom of the gate chamber, and the inflation assembly is at least partially located at the bottom of the gate chamber.
[0008] Furthermore, the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock also includes a pontoon assembly with a sliding space in the side wall. The pontoon assembly is housed within the sliding space and includes: a cylinder housed within the sliding space; and multiple rollers spaced apart circumferentially along the cylinder. The rollers are used to abut against the inner wall of the sliding space.
[0009] Furthermore, the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock also includes: a first energy dissipation component, which is located on the top of the capsule; a connector, one end of which is connected to the first energy dissipation component and the other end of which is connected to the cylinder; and a clearance groove is provided on the side of the sliding space facing the lock chamber, which is used to avoid the connector.
[0010] Furthermore, the side wall of the gate chamber is provided with a receiving cavity, which is connected to the gate chamber. The capsule is housed in the receiving cavity, and the capsule is adapted to the receiving cavity.
[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the receiving cavity is provided with a through hole that communicates with the bottom of the gate chamber.
[0012] Furthermore, a second energy dissipation element is provided at the bottom of the gate chamber, and the second energy dissipation element is spaced apart from the through hole and is adapted to the through hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the capsule includes multiple air storage chambers, and any two adjacent air storage chambers are connected by a control valve.
[0014] Furthermore, the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock also includes a seal, one end of which is connected to the air inlet pipe of the capsule, and the other end of which is connected to the inflation assembly.
[0015] The capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock, utilizing the technical solution of this utility model, includes a lock chamber, a capsule, and an inflation assembly. The capsule is located at the bottom of the lock chamber or within the side wall of the lock chamber, and the inflation assembly is located on at least one side of the lock chamber. The inflation assembly is used to inflate and deflate the capsule. By placing the capsule at the bottom of the lock chamber or within the side wall of the lock chamber as needed, the inflation assembly inflates the capsule, causing it to expand and thus raising the water level in the lock chamber. This facilitates the movement of ships from downstream to upstream within the lock chamber. Subsequently, the inflation assembly removes the gas from the capsule, deflating it and lowering the water level in the lock chamber. The capsule design eliminates the need for additional water injection into the lock, saving water resources. Even in areas with scarce water resources, water level adjustments can be made, thus breaking the geographical limitations of lock use and solving the problem of existing locks requiring significant water consumption to raise the water level.

[0031] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] To address the problem that existing locks require a large amount of water to raise the water level, this invention provides a capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 as well as Figure 9 As shown, the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock includes a lock chamber 10, a capsule 20, and an inflation assembly 30. The capsule 20 is disposed at the bottom of the lock chamber 10 or inside the side wall 11 of the lock chamber 10. The inflation assembly 30 is disposed on at least one side of the lock chamber 10, and is connected to the capsule 20. The inflation assembly 30 is used to inflate and deflate the capsule 20.
[0034] By placing capsule 20 at the bottom of lock chamber 10 or inside the side wall 11 of lock chamber 10 as needed, the capsule 20 is inflated by the inflation component 30, causing the capsule 20 to expand and thus raising the water level in lock chamber 10, facilitating the movement of ships from downstream to upstream in lock chamber 10. Subsequently, the inflation component 30 removes the gas from capsule 20, causing capsule 20 to deflate and the water level in lock chamber 10 to drop. The placement of capsule 20 does not require additional water injection into the lock, saving water resources. Even in areas with scarce water resources, water level rise and fall can be achieved, thus breaking the geographical limitations of lock use.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the inflation assembly 30 includes an inflation pump 31, a first connecting pipe 32, a second connecting pipe 33, and an air storage tank 34. The first connecting pipe 32 is at least partially disposed at the bottom of the gate chamber 10, and one end of the first connecting pipe 32 is connected to the inflation pump 31. There are multiple second connecting pipes 33, spaced apart at the bottom of the gate chamber 10, with both ends of any one second connecting pipe 33 connected to the capsule 20 and the other end of the first connecting pipe 32, respectively. There are multiple air storage tanks 34, with both ends connected to the inflation pump 31 and the first connecting pipe 32, respectively.
[0036] Specifically, there are two inflation components 30, which are respectively installed on both sides of the lock chamber 10. The inflation pump 31 is connected to the capsule 20 through the first connecting pipe 32 and the second connecting pipe 33. The inflation pump 31 is equipped with a pressure valve and a flow meter to achieve precise control of the inflation volume. The first connecting pipe 32 connects the two inflation pumps 31, and multiple second connecting pipes 33 are spaced apart at the bottom of the capsule 20. By spaced out the multiple second connecting pipes 33, air can be injected from the bottom of the capsule 20 upwards, so that the top surface of the capsule 20 can move upwards gradually and evenly, thereby driving the water level in the lock chamber 10 to rise evenly. This avoids one side of the capsule 20 inflating first, while the other side has not yet inflated, which would cause water sloshing in the lock chamber 10 and cause collisions between ships. The arrangement of multiple gas storage tanks 34 improves the efficiency of gas injection. Before injection, the air pump 31 injects gas into the multiple gas storage tanks 34 to pre-store the gas. When gas needs to be injected into the capsule 20, the air pump 31 and the multiple gas storage tanks 34 simultaneously inject gas into the capsule 20, thereby improving the injection effect. The air pump 31, located on the top of one side of the gate chamber 10, also facilitates maintenance.
[0037] Furthermore, the installation of the air tank 34 can effectively buffer the working pressure of the air pump 31, extend the service life of the equipment, and ensure that even in the event of unstable power supply, it can respond quickly and meet the shipping needs in emergency situations.
[0038] In this embodiment, the operation of the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock is as follows: The upper and lower gates are located on either side of the lock chamber 10. The air pump 31 injects air into the capsule 20, causing it to expand and the water level in the lock chamber 10 to match the upstream water level. The upper gate is opened, and the vessel enters the lock chamber 10 from the upstream navigation channel. The upper gate is then closed, and the capsule 20 releases gas into the air storage tank 34 or has gas drawn away by the air pump 31. The capsule 20 then contracts, lowering the water level in the lock chamber 10 to match the downstream water level. The lower gate is then opened, and the vessel enters the downstream navigation channel from the lock chamber 10. The lower gate is closed, the capsule 20 expands, causing the water level in the lock chamber 10 to match the upstream water level, and the upper gate is opened, allowing the vessel to enter the upstream navigation channel from the lock chamber 10. The opening and closing of the lock gate, the entry of a vessel into lock chamber 10, and the departure of a vessel from lock chamber 10 all require time. During this time, it is not necessary to inflate or deflate the capsule 20. The inflation pump 31 uses this time to inflate the air storage tank 34, so that when inflating the capsule 20 next time, the inflation pump 31 and the air storage tank 34 inflate simultaneously, allowing the capsule 20 to expand rapidly. Optionally, multiple air storage tanks 34 are equipped with pressure monitoring instruments. When the capsule 20 needs to be deflated, the gas is discharged into multiple air storage tanks 34 respectively, thereby ensuring that the gas in some air storage tanks 34 is under high pressure. The remaining air storage tanks 34 are inflated to a high pressure state by the inflation pump 31, thus saving inflation time.
[0039] In this embodiment, the capsule 20 is disposed at the bottom of the gate chamber 10, and the inflation assembly 30 is at least partially disposed at the bottom of the gate chamber 10.
[0040] Specifically, the capsule 20 is adapted to the size of the gate chamber 10 as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown. The first connecting pipe 32 is completely embedded in the bottom of the gate chamber 10. The second connecting pipe 33 is connected to the first connecting pipe 32 by welding or threading, and part of the second connecting pipe 33 extends out and connects to the capsule 20. Optionally, both ends of the second connecting pipe 33 have threaded connection ends, and the length of the second connecting pipe 33 can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock also includes a seal 80, one end of which is connected to the air inlet pipe of the capsule 20, and the other end of which is connected to the inflation assembly 30.
[0042] Specifically, the sealing element 80 is a tubular structure, with its two ends respectively fitted onto the air inlet pipe and the second connecting pipe 33. The sealing element 80 ensures the inflation effect.
[0043] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in another optional embodiment of this utility model, the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock further includes a pontoon assembly 40, and the sidewall 11 has a sliding space 111, within which the pontoon assembly 40 is housed. The pontoon assembly 40 includes a cylinder 41 and rollers 42. The cylinder 41 is housed within the sliding space 111. Multiple rollers 42 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cylinder 41, and the rollers 42 are used to abut against the inner wall of the sliding space 111.
[0044] Specifically, the shape of the sliding space 111 is adapted to the float assembly 40. Multiple rollers 42 are arranged in pairs around the periphery of the cylinder. The sliding space 111 is provided with a slide rail to accommodate the rollers 42. The rollers 42 roll in the slide rail and are guided and limited by the slide rail.
[0045] Furthermore, the cylinder 41 is a sealed box structure made of steel plate or plastic material to reduce weight. The sliding space 111 is connected to the gate chamber 10, and the cylinder 41 floats up and down in the sliding space 111 by means of water level changes.
[0046] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock also includes a first energy dissipation component 50 and a connecting component 60. The first energy dissipation component 50 is located on the top of the capsule 20. One end of the connecting component 60 is connected to the first energy dissipation component 50, and the other end of the connecting component 60 is connected to the cylinder 41. The sliding space 111 has a clearance groove on the side facing the lock chamber 10, which is used to avoid the connecting component 60.
[0047] Specifically, the first energy dissipation element 50 is disposed on top of the capsule 20 to protect the capsule 20 and dissipate energy from the water in the gate chamber 10. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the first energy dissipation component 50 includes a main body 51, reinforcing structures 52, and filling structures 53. The main body 51 is plate-shaped and disposed on the top surface of the capsule 20 to protect the capsule 20. Multiple reinforcing structures 52 are spaced apart on the main body 51 to improve the structural strength of the first energy dissipation component 50. These reinforcing structures 52 are spaced apart along the ship's direction of travel, ensuring that the first energy dissipation component 50 can still be reinforced even if one reinforcing structure 52 is damaged. Optionally, an energy dissipation structure can be provided on the top of the reinforcing structure 52. Simultaneously, the use of the first energy dissipation component 50 ensures the safety of large ships during the lifting and lowering of the lock. Even with a large ship weight, it effectively reduces the impact on the lock structure, extends the lock's service life, and lowers maintenance costs.
[0048] In this embodiment, the filling structure 53 is a flexible filler, specifically a rubber filler, which reduces the force on the main body 51 when the ship comes into contact with the first energy dissipation component 50. The main body 51 is a high-strength, high-rigidity steel plate or reinforced concrete plate and is hinged to the capsule 20. The flexible filling structure 53 can prevent the main body 51 from being subjected to excessive force and breaking and damaging the capsule 20.
[0049] In this embodiment, the connector 60 is a rope structure. The first energy dissipation component 50 has a connecting hole 54. The connector 60 passes through the connecting hole 54 and the connecting structure 411 on the cylinder 41, thereby connecting the cylinder 41 and the first energy dissipation component 50. Compared with the hinged method of rigid structural components, the rope structure connector can adapt to the horizontal swaying of the first energy dissipation component 50 caused by changes in water level. The cylinder 41 is connected to the first energy dissipation component 50 through the connector 60. The buoyancy of the cylinder 41 reduces the pressure of the first energy dissipation component 50 on the capsule 20.
[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, in another optional embodiment of the present invention, the side wall 11 of the gate chamber 10 is provided with a receiving cavity 112, which is connected to the gate chamber 10. The capsule 20 is housed in the receiving cavity 112 and is adapted to the receiving cavity 112.
[0051] Specifically, the receiving cavity 112 is connected to the lock chamber 10. After the capsule 20 is inflated, it forces the water in the receiving cavity 112 into the lock chamber 10, thereby raising the water level in the lock chamber 10. When the capsule 20 deflates, some of the water in the lock chamber 10 flows into the receiving cavity 112, thereby lowering the water level in the lock chamber 10. Simultaneously, this design makes the capsule 20 more stable during inflation and deflation, preventing displacement under water pressure. Under extreme weather conditions, this stable design ensures that the lock can maintain normal operation even when the external environment changes drastically, avoiding navigation interruptions due to weather.
[0052] In this embodiment, there are two capsules 20, and correspondingly two inflation components 30 and two receiving cavities 112, so that the water level can continue to be adjusted after one of the capsules 20 fails, or one of the two capsules 20 can remain inflated while the other capsule 20 is inflated and deflated to adjust the water level of the gate chamber 10, thereby forming multiple water level adjustment schemes.
[0053] In this embodiment, capsule 20 is connected to inflation pump 31 and gas storage tank 34. Inflation pump 31 and multiple gas storage tanks 34 simultaneously supply gas to capsule 20, or one of them inflates capsule 20 while the other receives the gas discharged from capsule 20.
[0054] like Figure 9As shown, the bottom of the receiving cavity 112 is provided with a through hole 113 that communicates with the bottom of the gate chamber 10. The through hole 113 is used to communicate with the bottom of the gate chamber 10.
[0055] Specifically, the through hole 113 is opened at the bottom of the gate chamber 10, and the two side walls 11 of the gate chamber 10 are provided with receiving cavities 112. The two through holes 113 can be located at the same end of the gate chamber 10, or they can be located at opposite ends of the gate chamber 10.
[0056] like Figure 9 As shown, a second energy dissipation element 70 is provided at the bottom of the gate chamber 10. The second energy dissipation element 70 is spaced apart from the through hole 113 and the second energy dissipation element 70 is adapted to the through hole 113.
[0057] Specifically, the second energy dissipation component 70 is an energy dissipation sill or energy dissipation pier. The second energy dissipation component 70 is a concrete structure. By setting the second energy dissipation component 70 at the front end of the through hole 113, the formation of eddies near the through hole 113 when the water level of the lock chamber 10 changes is avoided, thus preventing potential hazards to the navigation safety of ships.
[0058] In this embodiment, the capsule 20 includes a gas storage chamber 21, and there are multiple gas storage chambers 21. Any two adjacent gas storage chambers 21 are connected by a control valve.
[0059] Specifically, multiple air storage chambers 21 are arranged sequentially along the height of the sidewall 11. The arrangement of multiple air storage chambers 21 provides more water level adjustment options. The water level can be finely adjusted by releasing gas from one air storage chamber 21 through a control valve. The arrangement of multiple air storage chambers 21 in both capsules 20 further enhances the water level adjustment capabilities. Simultaneously, the multi-chamber design ensures uniform inflation and deflation in each chamber, thereby achieving smooth lifting and lowering of the entire lock.
[0060] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: The capsule-type zero-water-consumption lock includes a lock chamber 10, a capsule 20, and an inflation component 30. The capsule 20 is located at the bottom of the lock chamber 10 or inside the side wall 11 of the lock chamber 10. The inflation component 30 is located on at least one side of the lock chamber 10 and is connected to the capsule 20. The inflation component 30 is used to inflate and deflate the capsule 20. By setting the capsule 20 at the bottom of the lock chamber 10 or inside the side wall 11 of the lock chamber 10 as needed, the inflation component 30 inflates the capsule 20, causing it to expand and thus raising the water level in the lock chamber 10, facilitating the movement of ships from downstream to upstream in the lock chamber 10. Subsequently, the inflation component 30 removes the gas from the capsule 20, causing the capsule 20 to deflate and the water level in the lock chamber 10 to drop. The capsule 20 does not require additional water injection into the lock, saving water resources. Even in areas with scarce water resources, water level rise and fall can be achieved, thus breaking the geographical limitations of lock use.
