The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic gates, and discloses a sectional gate body transverse opening and closing large-span tide gate and an operation method, and the sectional gate body transverse opening and closing large-span tide gate comprises a left gate, a right gate, a
caisson foundation and an auxiliary fixing hook. Each gate is formed by connecting a plurality of sections of independent gate bodies in series through simple supporting hinges, the plurality of sections of independent gate bodies at least comprise a
butt joint gate body at the head end, a plurality of sections of standard gate bodies in the middle and a gate groove gate body at the
tail end, and each section of gate body is of a rectangular empty box structure; the
caisson foundation is laid on a riverbed along a river channel, a plurality of roller pits are formed in the top face of the
caisson foundation, and the two transverse sides of the caisson foundation extend outwards to form
cantilever plates. Auxiliary fixing hooks are arranged on the two transverse sides of the bottom of each section of door body, the auxiliary fixing hooks on the two sides are clamped and locked with the
cantilever plates when the door bodies are in place, and
water pressure borne by the door bodies is converted into vertical loads to be transmitted to the caisson foundation. The
horizontal stress of a traditional gate is converted into vertical transmission, so that the stress of the gate body is only related to the water retaining height and is not limited by the span.
