Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock structure technology, specifically to a lock structure with a cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] The water flow is relatively gentle at the lock, making it easy for large amounts of floating debris to accumulate there, affecting the normal operation of the lock. For example, debris such as plastic, branches, and fishing nets floating on the water surface can jam the lock tracks or gates, causing obstruction during operation, prolonging the time for ships to pass through the lock, and even leading to malfunctions. Large accumulations of debris can also obstruct water flow, affecting the normal filling and emptying of the lock, resulting in inaccurate water level control. Furthermore, it threatens navigational safety; ropes, weeds, and other debris can become entangled in the propeller or steering gear, causing ships to lose control and increasing the risk of collisions.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to regularly clean up floating debris near the lock to prevent hazards. The current method is to manually retrieve it periodically. However, manual retrieval is not only costly but also inefficient, increasing the lock's operating costs. Furthermore, periodic retrieval cannot effectively remove floating debris in a timely manner.

[0004] In conclusion, there is an urgent need for a lock structure with a cleaning function to solve or at least partially solve the problems existing in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lock structure with a debris-clearing function, aiming to solve the problem of low efficiency in manual cleaning and the inability to promptly remove floating debris. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] A lock structure with a cleaning function includes a lock head, on which a lock passage channel and a lock gate are provided. The lock gate is located within the lock passage channel. The lock structure also includes a cleaning and retrieval mechanism and a working gate. Both the cleaning and retrieval mechanism and the working gate are installed on the lock head. A water intake channel is provided on the lock head, located on one side of the lock passage channel. The first end of the water intake channel connects to the lock passage channel upstream of the lock gate, and the second end connects to the lock passage channel downstream of the lock gate. The cleaning and retrieval mechanism is arranged along the height direction, with its first end extending downwards into the water intake channel and its second end extending upwards and protruding from the lock head. The working gate is located within the water intake channel and on one side of the cleaning and retrieval mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning and salvage mechanism includes a mounting frame, a drive roller, a driven roller, a drive source, a conveyor belt, and salvage spikes. The mounting frame is installed on the lock head. The drive roller and the driven roller are rotatably installed at the upper and lower ends of the mounting frame, respectively. The conveyor belt is wound around both the drive roller and the driven roller. The drive source is installed on the mounting frame, and the output end of the drive source is coaxially and fixedly connected to the drive roller. Multiple salvage spikes are arranged, and all of the multiple salvage spikes are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the mounting bracket is bent towards the downstream side of the water channel.

[0009] Furthermore, the retrieval spikes on the upstream side of the conveyor belt near the water diversion channel are arranged to bend upwards, and the conveyor belt on the upstream side of the water diversion channel is arranged to move upwards.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving source is one of the following: electric motor, hydraulic motor, or micro-engine.

[0011] Furthermore, the top of the water diversion channel is enclosed, and a vertical shaft is also installed on the lock head. The vertical shaft is arranged along the height direction of the lock head, with the lower end of the vertical shaft connected to the water diversion channel and the upper end of the vertical shaft open. The cleaning and salvage mechanism extends into the vertical shaft from top to bottom.

[0012] Furthermore, the lock structure with cleaning function also includes a maintenance gate, which is arranged in the water intake channel and located upstream of the working gate.

[0013] Furthermore, the lock structure with the cleaning function also includes a trash rack, which is arranged inside the shaft and on the side wall of the shaft downstream of the cleaning and salvage mechanism, and the trash rack completely covers the interface between the water intake channel and the shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the trash rack is detachably connected to the side wall of the shaft.

[0015] Furthermore, the upstream end of the water diversion channel is designed as a funnel shape, with the larger diameter end of the funnel located upstream and the smaller diameter end located downstream.

[0016] The application of the technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] During operation, the working gate is opened or partially opened, allowing water in the lock's passageway to flow downstream along the guide channel. This flow carries floating debris into the guide channel, where it is then scooped up by the cleaning and retrieval mechanism, thus cleaning the water surface. Throughout the debris removal process, the design of the guide channel and working gate ensures that floating debris can smoothly enter the guide channel from the lock's passageway at the lock head. The cleaning and retrieval mechanism then promptly retrieves the debris from the guide channel. This design enables fully mechanized, continuous cleaning, improving efficiency and allowing for sustainable operation while minimizing the hazards caused by floating debris.

[0025] To facilitate understanding of this invention, a more comprehensive description is provided below, along with preferred embodiments. However, this invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this invention.

[0026] 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 this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0027] Example:

[0028] See Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a lock structure with a cleaning function, including a lock head 1, on which a lock passage channel 11 and a lock gate 12 are provided. The lock gate 12 is located within the lock passage channel 11. It also includes a cleaning and retrieval mechanism 2 and a working gate 3. Both the cleaning and retrieval mechanism 2 and the working gate 3 are installed on the lock head 1. A water diversion channel 13 is provided on the lock head 1, located within a side pier of the lock passage channel 11. The first end of the waterway 13 is connected to the lock passage waterway 11 upstream of the lock gate 12, and the second end of the waterway 13 is connected to the lock passage waterway 11 downstream of the lock gate 12; the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 is arranged along the height direction, and the first end of the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 extends downward into the waterway 13, and the second end of the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 extends upward and protrudes from the lock head 1; the working gate 3 is arranged in the waterway 13 and on one side of the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2.

[0029] It is worth noting that the water level in the river channel is always within the working range of the water diversion channel 13. That is, at the highest water level, floating objects on the water surface can move along the water surface into the water diversion channel 13, and at the lowest water level, floating objects on the water surface can also move along the water surface into the water diversion channel 13.

[0030] It is understood that during operation, when the working gate 3 is open or partially open, the water in the lock passage 11 flows downstream along the guide channel 13. As the water flows, it carries floating debris onto the surface into the guide channel 13. Once inside, the debris is scooped up by the cleaning and retrieval mechanism 2, thus cleaning the water surface. Throughout the debris removal process, the design of the guide channel 13 and the working gate 3 allows the debris to smoothly enter the guide channel 13 from the lock passage 11 at the lock head 1. The cleaning and retrieval mechanism 2 then promptly retrieves the debris from the guide channel 13. This design enables fully mechanized, continuous cleaning, improving efficiency and allowing for sustainable cleaning while minimizing the harm caused by floating debris.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the working gate 3 is arranged downstream of the cleaning and dredging mechanism 2. The working gate 3 can control the flow of water in the water diversion channel 13, as well as the flow rate. When the working gate 3 is fully open, the water flow in the water diversion channel 13 is at its maximum. The faster the floating objects on the water surface move, the easier it is for them to enter the water diversion channel 13 and be cleaned.

[0032] It should be noted that the lock head 1 mentioned above can be either the upper lock head or the lower lock head. When the lock head 1 is the upper lock head, the upstream part of the lock passage 11 is the upstream approach channel of the lock, and the downstream part of the lock passage 11 is the lock chamber (that is, at this time, the upstream approach channel of the lock serves as the upstream part of the lock passage 11, and the lock chamber serves as the downstream part of the lock passage 11). In this case, the lock structure with the cleaning function mainly cleans the floating debris in the upstream approach channel. When the lock head 1 is the lower lock head, the upstream end of the lock passage 11 is the lock chamber, and the downstream end of the lock passage 11 is the downstream approach channel. In this case, the lock structure with the cleaning function mainly cleans the floating debris in the lock chamber.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 includes a mounting frame 21, a drive roller 22, a driven roller 23, a drive source 24, a conveyor belt 25, and salvage teeth 26. The mounting frame 21 is mounted on the lock head 1. The drive roller 22 and the driven roller 23 are rotatably mounted on the upper and lower ends of the mounting frame 21, respectively. The conveyor belt 25 is wound around both the drive roller 22 and the driven roller 23. The drive source 24 is mounted on the mounting frame 21, and the output end of the drive source 24 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the drive roller 22. Multiple salvage teeth 26 are arranged, and all of the multiple salvage teeth 26 are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 25.

[0034] It should be noted that the retrieval nails 26 are arranged laterally at intervals along the width direction of the conveyor belt 25, and are arranged in multiple rows at intervals along the length direction of the conveyor belt 25.

[0035] It is known that the drive source 24 drives the active roller 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven roller 23 and the conveyor belt 25 to transfer. During the operation of the conveyor belt 25, the floating objects on the water surface in the water diversion channel 13 are picked up by the salvage nail teeth 26 on the conveyor belt 25, and as the conveyor belt 25 moves, the floating objects on the water surface in the water diversion channel 13 are transported to the upper surface of the lock head 1, thereby cleaning the floating objects in the water diversion channel 13 and the lock passage channel 11.

[0036] It should be noted that the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 can also be other devices or components capable of salvage, such as scraper conveyors, bucket elevators, etc.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the drive source 24 is a motor, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 21. The output shaft of the motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to the drive roller 22 through a coupling. When the motor rotates, it drives the drive roller 22 to rotate.

[0038] It should be noted that in some other embodiments of this application, the drive source 24 may also be a hydraulic motor or a micro-engine.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the mounting bracket 21 is bent toward the downstream side of the water channel 13.

[0040] It is understood that by bending the upper end of the mounting frame 21 towards the downstream side of the water channel 13, floating objects on the conveyor belt 25 and the retrieval teeth 26 can be thrown towards the bent side of the mounting frame 21 during unloading. In actual use, a collection hopper or transport vehicle is placed on the downstream side of the mounting frame 21 so that the material conveyed on the conveyor belt 25 and the retrieval teeth 26 can be thrown into the collection hopper or transport vehicle for collection, facilitating the collection and movement of floating objects. If the mounting frame 21 is set in a vertical straight line, some floating objects, after being conveyed to the upper end of the mounting frame 21 by the conveyor belt 25 and the retrieval teeth 26, will fall into the water channel 13 along the downstream side of the conveyor belt 25, affecting the retrieval effect.

[0041] It should be noted that guide rollers and pressure rollers are also arranged at the bend of the mounting frame 21. Both guide rollers and pressure rollers are rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 21 via bearings. The guide rollers are located inside the conveyor belt 25, which is wound around the support rollers. Two pressure rollers are arranged, pressing on the conveyor belt 25, causing the conveyor belt 25 to bend with the mounting frame 21. Of course, in some embodiments, pressure rollers are not required, and the conveyor belt 25 is directly wound around the drive roller 22, driven roller 23, and guide rollers.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the retrieval spikes 26 on the upstream side of the conveyor belt 25 near the water channel 13 are arranged to bend upwards, and the upstream side of the conveyor belt 25 near the water channel 13 is arranged to move upwards.

[0043] It is understood that because the conveyor belt 25 is arranged to move upwards on the side closest to the upstream of the water channel 13, floating objects are transported via the retrieval teeth 26 on the upstream side of the conveyor belt 25. By bending the retrieval teeth 26 on the upstream side of the conveyor belt 25, floating objects are prevented from slipping during retrieval. Furthermore, arranging the conveyor belt 25 to move upwards on the upstream side of the water channel 13 has the advantage that floating objects in the water channel 13 move with the water flow and directly onto the conveyor belt 25 and the corresponding retrieval teeth 26, thus improving retrieval efficiency.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the water diversion channel 13 is closed, and a vertical shaft 14 is also provided on the lock head 1. The vertical shaft 14 is arranged along the height direction of the lock head 1. The lower end of the vertical shaft 14 is connected to the water diversion channel 13, and the upper end of the vertical shaft 14 is open. The cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 extends into the vertical shaft 14 from top to bottom.

[0045] It is understood that by enclosing the top of the water diversion channel 13, forming a platform on the lock head 1, it facilitates the movement of transport vehicles and improves safety, preventing personnel from falling into the water diversion channel 13 during operations. The arrangement of the vertical shaft 14 facilitates the insertion of the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 into the water diversion channel 13.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment, the lock structure with cleaning function also includes a maintenance gate 4, which is arranged in the water intake channel 13 and is located on the upstream side of the working gate 3.

[0047] It is understood that in this embodiment, the maintenance gate 4 is arranged between the working gate 3 and the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2. By arranging the maintenance gate 4, the working gate 3 can be easily maintained when the maintenance gate 4 is closed.

[0048] Of course, in some other embodiments of this application, the maintenance gate 4 can also be arranged at the upstream end of the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2. When the maintenance gate 4 is closed, it is convenient to carry out maintenance on the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 and the maintenance gate 4.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the lock structure with cleaning function also includes a debris barrier 5, which is arranged in the shaft 14 and on the side wall of the shaft 14 downstream of the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2, and the debris barrier 5 completely covers the interface between the water intake channel 13 and the shaft 14.

[0050] It is known that the arrangement of the debris barrier 5 prevents floating objects that have not been completely retrieved by the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 from entering the downstream through the water diversion channel 13 directly, and blocks the floating objects on the water surface of the water diversion channel 13 at the vertical shaft 14, so that the cleaning and salvage mechanism 2 can clean up the blocked floating objects.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the trash rack 5 is detachably connected to the side wall of the shaft 14.

[0052] It is known that when the trash rack 5 is damaged, it can be replaced in a timely manner, which facilitates maintenance.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the upstream end of the water channel 13 is configured as a funnel, with the larger diameter end of the funnel located upstream and the smaller diameter end located downstream.

[0054] It is known that by setting the upstream end of the water intake channel 13 into a funnel shape, floating objects on the water surface in the lock passage channel 11 can more easily enter the water intake channel 13, which is beneficial for cleaning up the floating objects.

[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
