AI Technical Summary
Existing vertical slotted fishways are prone to causing overcrowding during peak fish migration periods, resulting in low efficiency and ineffective passage for fish.
Multiple baffles are installed inside the fish passage channel. The baffles are equipped with adjustable slots and adjustment mechanisms. The size of the slots can be dynamically adjusted by means of a motor, gear, rack or toothed belt, combined with a recyclable and extendable rubber folding shell and a winch. Water level and flow sensors are used for real-time monitoring and adjustment.
During peak fish migration periods, the size of the channel opening is dynamically adjusted to improve the efficiency of fish passage and ensure smooth passage for the fish.

[0006] Among them, the first sliding slot for moving adjusting plate up and down is opened on the baffle on the both sides of slot, and the second sliding slot for moving guide column is opened on one side of first sliding slot.
[0007] Among them, a recyclable and extensible rubber folding shell is sleeved on the adjusting plate, the bottom of rubber folding shell is opened and sealed and fixed at the bottom of first sliding slot, and sealing port for extending guide column is opened on the upper part of rubber folding shell.
[0008] Among them, the adjusting mechanism includes winch, winch includes motor and winding drum of steel wire rope, one end of steel wire rope is fixed on the upper end of adjusting plate, motor drives winding drum to rotate and wind or release steel wire rope, to adjust adjusting plate.
[0009] Among them, the winch is arranged above baffle or in the area without water on one side of baffle.
[0010] Beneficial effects: The present invention has the following advantages: The vertical slit fishway structure of the present invention adds a slot on the basis of the original vertical slit structure, and the size of the slot can be adjusted by an adjustable baffle, thereby enabling fish to pass through efficiently during the peak migration period. Attached Figure Description
[0011] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure;
[0012] Figures 2-4 This is a schematic diagram of the baffle structure. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, the vertical slotted fishway structure includes a U-shaped fishway channel 1, with multiple baffles 2 installed inside the channel 1. Adjacent baffles 2 are parallel and alternately fixed to the side wall of the channel 1. A vertical slot is left on the side of the baffle 2 that is not fixed, thereby forming an S-shaped flow path for the water in the channel 1. The fishway channel 1 and the baffles 2 can be made of concrete.
[0015] To facilitate fish migration from downstream to upstream, the fish passage 1 can be installed at an angle, meaning the inlet of the fish passage 1 is lower than the outlet.
[0016] Adjacent baffles 2 have staggered slots, and vertically adjustable adjustment plates 3 are provided on the slots to open and close them. In addition, baffles 2 are also equipped with water level and flow sensors 4 to detect water level and flow rate, and the adjustment plate 3 is further adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 5.
[0017] The adjusting mechanism 5 includes a motor, gears, racks, or toothed belts. The motor output drives the rack or toothed belt via gears. The back of the rack or toothed belt is fixed to the adjusting plate 3 via guide posts, enabling the adjusting plate 3 to move up and down. Furthermore, the motor can be installed inside a sealed box, with a slip ring at the motor output end to achieve sealing.
[0018] The specific structure of the adjusting mechanism 5 and its installation structure with the baffle 2 are as follows: Figures 2-4 As shown, the baffle 2 has a first sliding groove on both sides of the slot to allow the adjusting plate 3 to move up and down. A second sliding groove is provided on one side of the first sliding groove to allow the guide post to move. This facilitates the movement of the rack or toothed belt in the first sliding groove by the movement of the guide post in the second sliding groove during transmission.
[0019] An installation groove is provided on the outer side of the second slide to facilitate the fixing of the adjustment mechanism 5.
[0020] In order to further increase the height of the maximum opening of the notch, the height of the adjusting plate 3 needs to be reduced, and a recyclable and expandable rubber folding shell 6 is sleeved on the adjusting plate 3, which is similar to a bellows, and the height of the rubber folding shell 6 is greater than the maximum moving distance of the adjusting plate 3. The bottom of the rubber folding shell 6 is open and sealed at the bottom of the first sliding groove, and the upper part is provided with a sealed opening extending out of the guide column. During the upward movement of the adjusting plate 3, the adjusting plate 3 can drive the rubber folding shell 6 to expand upward, and during the downward movement of the adjusting plate 3, the adjusting plate 3 can drive the rubber folding shell 6 to be recycled downward, so that the height of the adjusting plate 3 when moving to the bottom end can be reduced, and the height of the notch can be increased. The use of the rubber folding shell 6 can also further protect the adjusting plate 3 from corrosion.
[0021] The utility model further provides another adjusting mechanism 5 scheme, including winch, winch includes motor and winding steel wire rope's reel, steel wire rope one end is fixed in the upper end of adjusting plate 3, and motor drives reel rotation winding or release steel wire rope, to realize the traction of adjusting plate 3. Winch can be erected above the baffle 2 or the area of one side without water, if necessary, can use the roller to guide the steel wire rope, to overcome the problem of winch under water seal.
[0022] Under the above structure, the fish population can not only pass through the vertical seam, but also pass through the notch when the water level rises and the flow rate increases. The opening size of the notch is adjusted based on the monitoring of the sensor 4 to achieve efficient passage of the fish population during the migration peak period.
