[0002] A flap gate is a one-way valve installed on riverbanks or at the outlet of water supply and drainage systems. It opens and closes based on the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the flap gate cover. When the tide level is higher than the water level inside the pipe, the flap gate automatically closes, preventing tide water from entering the pipe and preventing backflow of sea, river, or lake water. When the tide rises ashore under wind force, water from the shore can flow into the river through the flap gate. The disadvantages of existing technology are: complex gate structure, inconvenient installation and subsequent maintenance, and high maintenance costs.

[0003] Existing technology includes a device titled "A Flap Valve" with publication number CN101929570A, which relates to a one-way valve device for backflow prevention and flow interruption in water supply and drainage engineering. It includes a flap valve seat and a flap valve cover hinged to the seat. A sealing ring is circumferentially arranged on the outlet end face of the flap valve seat. The flap valve cover has an internal cavity with an injection hole and an outlet hole communicating with the cavity. A control device is connected to the flap valve to control the amount of liquid in the cavity of the flap valve cover. In use, water can be added to the float box via an upper injection port using a pump to increase the weight of the flap valve cover, thereby closing it. When water is discharged from the flap valve, if the cover is too heavy to open easily, the lower injection port can be opened, and the pump can be turned on to release some or all of the water, reducing the weight of the flap valve cover and thus opening it.

[0004] However, this technology does not address the technical issues and solutions of this application. Utility Model Content
