Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model provides a fish passage facility belongs to water conservancy equipment technical field, especially relates to a fish passage facility of slope diversion structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] A fish passage facility is a man-made hydraulic structure designed to help fish navigate around obstacles created by water conservancy projects, allowing them to move freely between different parts of a river to complete their life cycle migration processes, such as breeding and foraging, while minimizing negative impacts on fish populations and ecosystems.

[0003] In water conservancy projects, fish passage facilities, especially fish ladders, are widely designed and implemented to assist fish in crossing barriers such as dams to facilitate their completion of key life cycle activities such as reproductive migration and foraging migration. Fish ladders simulate natural river flow conditions by providing a series of stepped channels or passages for fish to ascend or descend. The original intention of these facilities is to reduce interference with fish populations and river ecosystems. However, due to the vertical drop between adjacent channels in the fish ladder, the local water flow velocity increases, forming a rapid flow area. This rapid flow poses a challenge to some fish species, as they require sufficient physical strength and swimming ability to overcome these obstacles. As a result, some fish, especially weaker or smaller individuals, may not be able to successfully pass through the fish ladder, resulting in a lower passage rate of the fish passage facility. This situation not only affects the reproductive success rate of fish, but also may have a negative impact on the genetic diversity of fish populations and the overall health of the ecosystem.

[0020] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration, and do not represent the only implementation.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs; the terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application; the term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0023] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 A fish passage facility of a slope flow guide structure includes a sloping base 1, a plurality of evenly distributed grooves 2 are arranged above the sloping base 1, the grooves 2 are staggered and interconnected, a flow guide plate 3 is arranged in the groove 2, a flow distribution plate 4 is arranged in the center of the groove 2, an opening 5 is arranged on one side of the flow guide plate 3, the opening 5 and another flow guide plate 3 are mutually clamped and have a gap, and the size range of the opening 5 is 45°-60°.

[0024] In the present embodiment, the present application forms a water flow channel and a fish migration channel by arranging the grooves 2. In these grooves 2, the flow guide plates 3 are embedded and installed, these flow guide plates simulate the scouring surface of a natural river channel to guide the water flow and provide a suitable migration environment for fish. When the water flow passes through the flow guide plates 3 from top to bottom, the concave parts of the flow guide plates form instantaneous water storage areas, these water storage areas help to slow down the water flow speed and provide fish with opportunities for rest and adjustment. The overflow of the water storage areas will flow into the next groove 2, while the water body with a relatively high flow rate will be guided to the outside channel through the flow distribution plate 4, and the water body with a relatively slow flow rate will directly overflow and flow into the inside channel. These water bodies with a relatively slow flow rate will eventually flow into the concave parts of the flow guide plates 3 again, forming a cycle.

[0025] The design ensures the continuity and directionality of the water flow by simulating the dynamics of natural water flow, while creating slower flow areas in the recesses of the guide plates 3, which provide more passing opportunities for fish, especially for those that are weaker or smaller in size. Overall, the facility aims to improve the passing rate of fish, reduce interference with fish behavior, and promote natural migration of fish in hydraulic engineering.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The shunt plate 4 is designed as a semicircular blocking plate 6 with the same shape as the recess of the corresponding guide plate 3, and the blocking plate 6 is fixedly connected with a reverse protruding limiting plate 7 below by an integrated structure. There is a proper gap between the limiting plate 7 and the guide plate 3 to ensure smooth flow of water, while the limiting plate 7 and the blocking plate 6 are designed as an "S" shape as a whole, enhancing the stability and guiding effect of the structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the upper vertex of the guide plate 3 is located at the circular position of the adjacent guide plate 3, forming a continuous water flow guiding system. The upper and lower ends of the groove 2 are provided with water inlet and outlet 8, which are connected with the external water flow through the inclined surface 9, ensuring that the water flow can effectively enter and exit the groove 2, thereby maintaining the dynamic balance of the water flow.

[0028] The design of this structure not only improves the guiding efficiency of the water flow, but also reduces the turbulence of the water flow through reasonable fluid mechanics principles, providing a more friendly migration environment for fish. By setting the limiting plate 7 and the blocking plate 6, the direction and speed of the water flow can be effectively controlled to ensure that fish can pass through the fish passage facility smoothly under different water flow conditions, further improving the passing rate and ecological adaptability of fish. Overall, the design of the fish passage facility aims to create a safe and smooth migration channel for fish, promoting their natural migration in hydraulic engineering.

[0029] In use, first, the fish passage facility of the slope diversion structure is installed in the water conservancy project at the appropriate position, ensures that the slope base 1 is stably placed on the predetermined slope, then a plurality of grooves 2 are evenly distributed above the base 1, the grooves 2 are staggered and interconnected, forming a water flow and fish migration channel; then, the guide plate 3 is embedded and installed in the groove 2, the guide plate 3 is provided with a flow distribution plate 4 arranged in the center of the groove 2, and an opening 5 is arranged on one side of the guide plate 3, so that the opening 5 and the other guide plate 3 are clamped and have a gap, the size of the opening 5 is controlled between 45° to 60°; then, ensure that the flow distribution plate 4 is designed as a semicircular blocking plate 6 with the same shape as the recess of the corresponding guide plate 3, the blocking plate 6 is integrally fixedly connected with a reverse protruding limiting plate 7 below, the limiting plate 7 and the guide plate 3 have a proper gap, the limiting plate 7 and the blocking plate 6 are integrally designed as an "S" shape to enhance the stability and diversion effect of the structure; then, the upper vertex of the guide plate 3 is adjusted to the circular position of the adjacent guide plate 3, forming a continuous water flow guiding system; finally, the water inlet and outlet 8 is arranged at the upper and lower ends of the groove 2, and is connected with the external water flow through the slope 9, so as to ensure that the water flow can effectively enter and discharge the groove 2, and maintain the dynamic balance of the water flow. Through the above steps, the device can simulate the dynamic of natural water flow, ensure the continuity and directionality of the water flow, at the same time, create a slow flow area in the recess of the guide plate 3, provide more passing opportunities for fish, especially for those weak or small fish, thereby improving the passing rate of fish, reducing the interference to fish behavior, and promoting the natural migration of fish in the water conservancy project.
