Description
Technical fields:
[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic control device for water diversion gates. Background technology:
[0002] A water distribution gate is a sluice gate built at the bifurcation of a water diversion channel to distribute water volume. It distributes the water from the upper channel to the lower channel in a certain proportion and can also be used for water measurement. In actual operation, the layout of water distribution gates can be divided into gate-controlled or gateless control. The gate-controlled water distribution gate is located on the channel embankment above the control gate or on the water distribution channel slightly behind the water distribution outlet. When the channel needs to divide water on both sides, the two water distribution gates should share a single control gate as much as possible, which can save on engineering work and facilitate operation and management.
[0003] Because the distribution of water diversion gates is relatively dispersed, it is necessary to centrally regulate and control all water diversion gates within the water conservancy project channel. However, the existing regulation and control methods mostly rely on on-site inspection and adjustment by staff, which results in low overall work efficiency, poor real-time performance, and lag. Consequently, it is impossible to accurately grasp the water allocation and specific working status of each water diversion gate, which will have a significant impact on the water diversion channel of the water conservancy project. Utility model content:
[0004] This utility model provides an automatic control device for water diversion gates. With a reasonable structural design, based on the integrated control function of the controller, and in conjunction with various types of electrical components and functional modules, it can establish a communication transmission network to adjust and control the opening degree, flow rate, and working time of each water diversion gate. This allows staff to accurately monitor the specific working status and water allocation of each water diversion gate in real time, ensuring the normal operation of the water diversion channel in the water conservancy project. This avoids control deviations, improves the safety and accuracy of the application, and solves the problems existing in the prior art.

[0025] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the automatic control device for the water diversion gate includes:
[0026] A control component is provided for integrated regulation and control of the opening degree, flow rate, and operating time of a diversion gate. The control component includes a controller, to which an instruction input device, a timer, and a driver are electrically connected.

[0035] The working principle of the automatic control device for water diversion gates in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows: Based on the integrated control function of the controller, and in conjunction with various types of electrical components and functional components, a communication transmission network can be established to adjust and control the opening degree, flow rate and working time of each water diversion gate. This allows staff to accurately grasp the specific working status and water allocation of each water diversion gate in real time, ensuring the normal operation of the water diversion channel of the water conservancy project, thereby avoiding control deviations and improving the safety and accuracy of the application.
[0036] Because diversion gates are widely used in water conservancy projects, a certain number of diversion gates are required in major water diversion channels to control the flow rate and direction of water. However, when too many diversion gates are used, relying solely on on-site inspections by staff results in low overall work efficiency and poor timeliness. Therefore, an automatic control device is needed to drive and regulate the diversion gates.

[0038] In actual use, as shown in the attached document Figure 2 As shown, the diversion gates are distributed on the water diversion channel according to the actual application conditions, and are uniformly integrated and regulated by the control components. Under normal circumstances, all the diversion gates are in parallel and there is no linkage between them, so as to improve the specific work efficiency and prevent misoperation from affecting the specific working status of adjacent diversion gates.
[0039] The controller in this application is a PLC controller, model S7-200. The PLC controller has multiple pins. The PLC controller is connected to the instruction input device through pin Q1.7, the PLC controller is connected to the driver through pin Q1.5, and the PLC controller is connected to the timer through pin Q0.2. The PLC controller is connected to the wireless transceiver through pins Q0.6 and Q0.5, thus forming an overall hardware circuit. The remote adjustment and control of the water diversion gate is realized by relying on the above overall hardware circuit.
[0040] Preferably, the instruction input device is a TLP290 model, which has four pins.

[0041] Preferably, the driver is model ULN2003, which has 16 pins. The driver is connected to pin Q1.5 of the controller through pin 1. A first relay is connected to pin 16 of the driver. A first resistor and a first diode are connected in parallel on the first relay. The first relay has a drive interface that can be configured and used with a signal receiver to realize the drive control of the water diversion gate.
[0042] Preferably, the timer is a DS1302 with 8 pins. Pins 6 and 7 of the timer are shorted together. A fourth resistor and a fourth capacitor are provided between pins 6 and 7. Pin 7 of the timer is connected to pin Q0.2 of the controller, which can continuously transmit clock pulse signals to the controller to set the working time of the sluice gate.
[0043] Preferably, the wireless transceiver is model ESP8266, which has 8 pins. The wireless transceiver is connected to pin Q0.5 of the controller through pin 4, and to pin Q0.6 of the controller through pin 8. This enables the establishment of a stable communication network between the control components and the sluice gate, and allows for the stable transmission of adjustment control commands in conjunction with the signal receiving end.
[0044] It should be noted that the control and communication components are integrated into the housing, which has heat dissipation holes to reduce the overall operating temperature rise of the control and communication components.
