Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydropower station gate technology, and in particular to a hydropower station gate opening and closing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] During normal power generation at a hydropower station, the opening of the gates needs to be adjusted according to the upstream water inflow and power generation demand to control the amount of water entering the turbines. The gate opening and closing mechanism needs to precisely control the raising and lowering of the gates to ensure the power generation efficiency and operational stability of the hydropower station.
[0003] For example, application number CN202322434224.0 provides a safety opening and closing device for a hydropower station gate. The device includes: a gate frame; multiple limiting grooves, all formed on the inner wall of the gate frame; a gate body mounted on the gate frame; multiple limiting plates, all fixedly installed on the gate body, and slidably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the limiting grooves; an opening and closing mechanism located at the top of the gate frame, used to control the opening and closing of the gate body; and a driving mechanism located at the top of the gate frame, used to provide kinetic energy to the opening and closing mechanism. The hydropower station gate safety opening and closing device provided by this utility model has the advantages of automatic lubrication of the wire rope, high safety, and strong practicality.
[0004] In existing hydropower station gate opening and closing mechanisms, steel cable pulley blocks are generally used to realize the gate opening and closing process. Due to the relatively complex transmission structure, the steel cable transmission stroke takes a long time, which affects the stability of the gate operation. Moreover, the gate lacks a reasonable limit control structure, and the opening and closing power system will be subjected to overtravel pressure, which may damage the motor equipment.
