[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Second, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to specific features, structures or characteristics that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present utility model. The phrase "in one embodiment" that appears at different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an individual or selectively mutually exclusive embodiment with other embodiments.

[0028] Embodiment 1. Refer to Figure 1-6 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a ship lift channel, including

[0029] A channel body 100, the channel body 100 is integrally in a "匚" shape with an open upper end;

[0030] A swing mechanism 200, the swing mechanism 200 includes a lifting plate 201 arranged on the inner wall of the channel body 100. A swing plate 202 is hinged on the lifting plate 201. A pushing component 203 is also arranged on the lifting plate 201. The output end of the pushing component 203 contacts the swing plate 202. A return spring 204 is arranged between the lifting plate 201 and the swing plate 202.

[0031] The swing mechanism 200 is used to generate water waves through swinging when the ship chamber tilts, inhibit the tilting trend of the ship chamber, and reduce the probability of collision between the ship chamber and the channel body 100; specifically, when the ship chamber tilts to one side, the pushing component 203 of the swing mechanism 200 on that side works, moves in the direction away from and close to the swing plate 202, intermittently squeezes the swing plate 202, and cooperates with the elastic force of the return spring 204 to make the swing plate 202 swing back and forth, thereby generating water waves to inhibit the tilting trend of the ship chamber; at the same time, when the ship chamber enters the water, the swing mechanisms 200 on both sides work to push the water flow towards the middle, reducing the probability that the ship chamber approaches the side and finally collides with the channel body 100.

[0032] Furthermore, the pushing component 203 includes a cylinder 203a arranged on the lifting plate 201. A push rod 203b is arranged at the output end of the cylinder 203a. The push rod 203b contacts the swing plate 202.

[0033] The cylinder 203a is arranged vertically. The lower end of the cylinder 203a is the telescopic end. The push rod 203b is arranged at the lower end of the cylinder 203a. The cylinder 203a drives the push rod 203b to squeeze the swing plate 202. The push rod 203b is a cross bar with a certain length to ensure the balance and stability of the thrust. Of course, in order to ensure the swinging effect, multiple cylinders 203a can be arranged.

[0034] Furthermore, the swing mechanism 200 also includes a lifting assembly 205 disposed between the channel body 100 and the lifting plate 201. The lifting assembly 205 includes a lead screw 205a that is vertically rotatably disposed on the channel body 100. A motor 205b is disposed at the top end of the lead screw 205a. The lifting plate 201 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 205a.

[0035] The lifting assembly 205 is used to drive the swing mechanism 200 to lift and lower as a whole, so as to adjust the height of the swing mechanism 200 and make the swing mechanism 200 work at the water surface position. Specifically, the motor 205b is fixed on the channel body 100, and the output end of the motor 205b is connected to the lead screw 205a. The motor 205b drives the lead screw 205a to rotate. Since the lead screw 205a and the lifting plate 201 are threadedly connected, the rotation of the lead screw 205a drives the lifting plate 201 to move up and down on the lead screw 205a, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the entire swing mechanism 200.

[0036] Example 2, refer to Figure 1-6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the swing mechanism 200 also includes a first guide component 206 disposed between the channel body 100 and the lifting plate 201. The first guide component 206 includes a first guide rod 206a vertically disposed on the channel body 100, and the lifting plate 201 passes through the first guide rod 206a.

[0037] Specifically, both sides of the lifting plate 201 have first guide rods 206a to ensure the stability of the swing mechanism 200 when it is raised and lowered as a whole.

[0038] Furthermore, the first guide component 206 also includes a first slide groove 206b vertically disposed on the inner wall of the channel body 100, a slide plate 206c slidably disposed in the first slide groove 206b, and the outer end of the slide plate 206c is fixed on the lifting plate 201.

[0039] The sliding plate 206c and the sliding groove work together to further guide and limit the movement, making the swing mechanism 200 rise and fall more smoothly.

[0040] Furthermore, swing mechanisms 200 are provided on both inner walls of the channel body 100. The lower end of the swing plate 202 is hinged to the lifting plate 201. The return spring 204 is located between the upper end of the swing plate 202 and the lifting plate 201. The cylinder 203a is vertically mounted on the lifting plate 201. The lower end of the cylinder 203a is fixed with a push rod 203b, which is horizontally mounted.

[0041] Example 3, referring to Figure 1-6This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the lift channel also includes a buffer mechanism 300 disposed within the channel body 100. The buffer mechanism 300 includes a horizontally disposed buffer plate 301, and a bearing component 302 is disposed between the buffer plate 301 and the bottom of the channel body 100.

[0042] The buffer mechanism 300 is used to form a buffer at the bottom of the ship carrier when it enters the water, reducing the overall swaying of the ship carrier when it enters the water, and further reducing the possibility of the ship carrier tilting and colliding with the channel body 100. Specifically, after the ship carrier enters the water, it is pressed against the upper part of the buffer plate 301, and the buffer plate 301 presses against the bearing component 302. The elasticity of the bearing component 302 is used to form a buffer to reduce the swaying of the ship carrier.

[0043] Furthermore, the bearing assembly 302 includes a hinge rod 302a with its upper end hinged to the buffer plate 301, a sliding sleeve 302b with its lower end hinged to the hinge rod 302a, a second guide rod 302c slidably disposed inside the sliding sleeve 302b, the end of the second guide rod 302c being fixed to the inner wall of the channel body 100, and a buffer spring 302d being sleeved on the second guide rod 302c, the buffer spring 302d being located between the sliding sleeve 302b and the inner wall of the channel body 100.

[0044] When the ship-carrying chamber is submerged, the buffer plate 301 moves downward under the pressure of the ship-carrying chamber, which in turn causes the end of the hinge rod 302a away from the buffer plate 301 to slide along the second guide rod 302c toward the buffer spring 302d, thereby compressing the buffer spring 302d. The elastic force of the buffer spring 302d is used to offset part of the impact force on the ship-carrying chamber, thereby improving the stability of the ship-carrying chamber when it is submerged.

[0045] Furthermore, the buffer mechanism 300 also includes a second guide component 303 disposed between the buffer plate 301 and the channel body 100. The second guide component 303 includes a second slide groove 303a vertically disposed on the channel body 100. A slide rod 303b is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 303a, and the outer end of the slide rod 303b is fixed on the buffer plate 301.

[0046] The second guide component 303 is provided to ensure that the buffer plate 301 moves vertically downward when it is squeezed by the ship compartment, thereby ensuring a stable buffering effect.

[0047] Furthermore, the second guide rod 302c is fixed between the inner walls on both sides of the channel body 100, and hinge rods 302a are hinged to both sides of the lower end of the buffer plate 301. The lower ends of the two hinge rods 302a are slidably set on both sides of the second guide rod 302c through the sliding sleeves 302b respectively.

[0048] By setting up the oscillating mechanism 200 that generates water waves, when the ship carrier tilts, the water waves generated on the tilting side suppress the tilting trend of the ship carrier, thereby reducing the possibility of collision between the ship carrier and the channel body 100; at the same time, when the ship carrier enters the water, it is affected by the water waves on both sides, causing the water flow to push towards the middle, reducing the probability of the ship carrier moving to the side and eventually colliding with the channel body 100.
