Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water gate technology, and in particular to a suspended self-floating water gate. Background Technology
[0002] The floodgates on both sides of a river play a crucial role, their main function being to prevent water from overflowing the banks and thus protecting the surrounding area from flooding. Currently, there are two main types of common river floodgates: fixed floodgates and floodgates that are raised and lowered by a lifting mechanism.
[0003] Fixed floodgates, typically made of sturdy metal or concrete, are installed at predetermined locations on either side of riverbanks. Once installed, their height remains fixed. At low water levels, fixed floodgates effectively block river water, ensuring the safety of the riverbanks. However, in extreme situations such as torrential rains or floods, when river levels rise rapidly, the fixed floodgates, unable to be adjusted in height, can overflow their banks if the water level exceeds their height, causing flooding and posing a serious threat to the lives and property of nearby residents and infrastructure.
[0004] Another type of water-blocking gate uses a lifting mechanism to raise and lower, offering some flexibility compared to fixed gates. It typically consists of a motor, lead screw, and guide rails. Operators can control the motor's forward and reverse rotation to drive the lead screw, causing the gate to rise or fall along the guide rails, depending on the water level. However, this type of gate also has several drawbacks in practical applications. First, it relies on an external power system. In the event of a power outage or other emergencies, the lifting mechanism will malfunction, and the gate will be unable to adjust its height promptly, losing its ability to respond to changes in water level. Second, this type of gate requires real-time monitoring of the water level and manual operation of the lifting mechanism based on changes in water level. This is not only labor-intensive, but in emergencies, manual operation may result in delayed reactions, failing to quickly and effectively address rapid rises in water level, thus affecting the water-blocking effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suspended self-floating water gate to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A suspended self-floating water barrier includes a base, a track seat, a pontoon, a cover plate, and side columns. The side columns are provided on both sides of the base, and a plurality of track seats are provided on the inner side of the base. A pontoon is movably mounted on each track seat. A plurality of cover plates are provided on the bottom wall of the opening in the middle of the base. Adjacent pontoons are connected to each other to form a barrier.
[0008] Each of the track seats includes a base plate, a slide rail, and a support roller. The base plate is mounted on the base, and a plurality of slide rails are provided on the base plate. The support rollers are provided between two adjacent slide rails, and the float is movably connected to the slide rails.
[0009] Preferably, a limit block is provided at the lower end of the slide rail.
[0010] Preferably, the pontoon includes a pontoon frame and a pontoon baffle, one end of the pontoon frame is connected to the pontoon baffle, and the side of the pontoon baffle away from the pontoon frame is provided with a cavity.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, the system also includes pulleys and pulley seats. A plurality of pulley seats are provided at the other end of the float frame, and a plurality of pulleys are provided on each pulley seat.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment, a sealing gasket is also included, wherein the sealing gasket is disposed between the cover plate and the base.
[0014] As a further preferred embodiment, a vertical sealing strip is also included, which is installed on the side post, and the horizontal sealing strip is connected to the vertical sealing strip to form an "H"-shaped structure.
[0015] Preferably, a sealing rubber plate is also included, and adjacent two float box baffles are connected by the sealing rubber plate.
[0016] As a further preferred embodiment, a rubber fixing plate is also included, wherein the sealing rubber plate is connected to the two floating box baffles via the two rubber fixing plates.

[0018] The above technical solution has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0019] (1) In this utility model, the function of automatically adjusting the water-blocking height according to the water level is realized. When the water level rises, the float box automatically floats up under the action of buoyancy to form a water-blocking barrier; when the water level drops, the float box drops down accordingly, which solves the problem that traditional fixed water-blocking gates and water-blocking gates driven by lifting mechanisms cannot be automatically adjusted.
[0020] (2) In this utility model, the reasonable combination of pulleys, slide rails and supporting rollers can effectively withstand water pressure and maintain the stable operation of the pontoon, preventing the pontoon from tipping over. The structure is reasonably designed.
[0021] (3) In this utility model, the “H” type sealing structure and rubber plate are adopted, which improves the overall sealing performance, effectively prevents leakage, and solves the problem of poor sealing performance of existing adjustable water-blocking facilities.
[0022] (4) In this utility model, the design gap between the float box and the horizontal sealing strip is reasonable, which reduces friction while ensuring sealing, does not affect the float box's floating, and improves the sensitivity of the device.
[0023] (5) In this utility model, the design of the connecting sealing rubber plate can be adjusted to adapt to the natural curvature of the river channel, thus enhancing the applicability of the device.
[0024] (6) This utility model does not require manual operation and automatically responds to changes in water level, which improves the speed of flood control emergency response, reduces manpower input, and reduces labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 11 The diagram illustrates a preferred embodiment of a suspended self-floating floodgate, comprising a base 1, track seats 2, pontoons 3, cover plates 4, and side posts 5.

The base 1 is made of concrete and is U-shaped. The track seats 2 are installed at the bottom of the base 1. The plane of the bottom wall of the open section in the center of the base 1 is flush with the upper surface of the pontoon 3 when not blocking water. See [reference needed] for details. Figure 1 As shown. The pontoon 3 can automatically rise and fall under the buoyancy of the water, thus adapting to different water levels. The cover plate 4 can be bolted to the bottom wall of the opening in the middle of the base 1, and the side posts 5 are bolted to both sides of the base 1.
[0041] Each track base 2 includes a base plate 201, a slide rail 202, and support rollers 203. The base plate 201 is mounted on the base 1, and several slide rails 202 are provided on the base plate 201. Support rollers 203 are provided between adjacent slide rails 202.

The base plate 201 of the track seat 2 is made of stainless steel, offering good corrosion resistance. The slide rail 202 is made of high-strength alloy steel with a hardened surface, providing good wear resistance. The support rollers 203 are made of high-strength nylon, offering good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties. The pontoon frame 301 is made of aluminum alloy, characterized by its lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. The pontoon baffle 302 can be made of fiberglass, offering good strength, rigidity, and waterproofing. The cavity 303 has reinforcing ribs to enhance the structural strength of the pontoon baffle 302. The pulley seat 305 can be fixedly connected to the pontoon frame 301.
[0052] In this embodiment, the horizontal sealing strip 6, vertical sealing strip 8, and sealing rubber plate 9 are all made of highly elastic rubber material, providing excellent sealing performance and durability. The sealing gasket 7 is made of foamed rubber material, offering good elasticity and sealing performance. The rubber fixing plate 10 is made of stainless steel and is connected to the float box baffle 302 by bolts. The sealant is a high-performance silicone sealant, offering excellent adhesion and water resistance. The rubber fixing plate 10 and the sealing rubber plate 9 can be integrally connected.
[0053] When installing the water-blocking gate for the first time, first pour the base 1 at the predetermined position. After the concrete of the base 1 reaches the design strength, install the side columns 5 on both sides of the base 1. Then, install the track seat 2 at the bottom of the middle part of the base 1, and fix the base plate 201 to the base 1 with expansion bolts. Install the slide rail 202 and support roller 203 on the base plate 201. Next, install the pulley 304 of the pontoon 3 in the slide rail 202 to ensure that the pontoon 3 can move smoothly on the slide rail 202. Then, install the cover plate 4, install the sealing gasket 7 between the cover plate 4 and the base 1, and install the horizontal sealing strip 6 on the side of the cover plate 4 near the pontoon frame 301. Install the vertical sealing strip 8 on the side column 5 so that the horizontal sealing strip 6 and the vertical sealing strip 8 are connected to form an "H" shaped structure. Finally, install the sealing rubber plate 9 between the two adjacent pontoon baffles 302, fix the sealing rubber plate 9 to the pontoon baffle 302 with the rubber fixing plate 10, and fill the space between the two adjacent cover plates 4 with sealant.
[0054] When in use, when the water level is lower than the float box 3, the float box 3 is at the bottom of the track seat 2 and the water barrier is in the open state; when the water level rises, the float box 3 generates more buoyancy and rises along the slide rail 202 to form a water barrier; when the water level drops, the float box 3 falls along the slide rail 202 due to gravity and returns to the initial position.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
