Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to an apparatus for controlling and/or closing a passage in a watercourse, such as, for instance, a ditch, canal, conduit or pipe, which apparatus is provided with a plate and a frame, the plate and the frame being directly or indirectly connected with at least one adjusting element which is drivable by a drive, for the purpose of adjusting the position of the plate relative to the frame.
- Such an apparatus is known from the patent publications
NL1021754 EP-A-1 188 863 in applicant's name, which patent publications are understood to be completely incorporated into the present application by reference. In the known apparatuses, an adjusting mechanism is provided to adjust the position of the plate. To that end, the plate of the known apparatuses is driven on opposite sides by the adjusting mechanism, in order that the plate, when being lowered and raised, is loaded symmetrically. To that end, the adjusting mechanism of the known apparatus comprises two adjusting elements, each adjusting the position of the plate through at least one driving means, whether or not via a transmission. The driving means can comprise a motor, a hydraulic or pneumatic piston/cylinder assembly, a crank or like means. The above-mentioned indirect connection can have been effected, for instance, in that the frame is mounted on a wall and in that the adjusting element has an end connected to that same wall as well. The indirect connection between frame and adjusting element then proceeds via the wall. -
US2004/0009041 discloses a control gate adapted to be installed across a channel. The control gate has a barrier member that is pivotally mounted at or adjacent the base of the flow channel. A drive drives a drive shaft carrying two pinions which each engage a rack on side members which are present on either side of the barrier member. -
EP-A-0 719 896 discloses a hydraulic cylinder type operating apparatus for closing a sluice and the like. The plate of the sluice is provided with gear racks and the frame of the sluice is provided with gear racks as well. Between those gear racks pinions are operative which are connected to a common drive shaft. - Both in US'041 and EP'896 the drive shaft carrying the two pinions is mounted above the plate member and/or above the watercourse.
-
US 1,706,219 discloses a vertically movable gate for controlling passages through openings in fixed structures. Mounted between the gate and the gate bearing walls are roller trains which each comprise a number of rollers rotatably mounted on shafts or pins passing there through. The roller trains are provided with pinions arranged with fixed racks on the wall such that the roller trains are moved in the same direction as the gate. The pinions of US' 219 are mounted on separate shafts. -
GB 2,283,267 - The present invention contemplates an improvement of the apparatus mentioned in the opening paragraph hereof. In particular, the invention contemplates an apparatus that is relatively unsusceptible to trouble, wherein at least one adjusting element engages the plate and wherein jamming or skewing of the plate relative to the frame can yet be properly avoided, even when the plate has a large width, providing at the same time a passageway for boats.
- According to the invention, to that end, the apparatus is provided with the features of claim 1.
- The terms gear wheel and gear rack are to be taken broadly and also encompass wheels with pins or holes cooperating with tracks provided with holes or transverse pins, or pins, respectively, with the pins engaging the holes or the transverse pins. Also other form-locked transmission means having a gear wheel-like and gear rack-like appearance should be understood to fall within the terms of gear wheel and gear rack.
- During use, the apparatus can control the water level of the water passage and/or for instance close the watercourse, with the plate being moved to a suitable position, for instance the clearing position, the closing position or an intermediate position. As a result of the presence of the aligning shaft with gear wheels and the cooperating gear racks or chains, it does not matter whether the adjusting element is connected to the plate centrally of the plate or adjacent one of the sides thereof. The reason is that as soon as one of the sides of the plate sustains a displacement, this displacement will be directly transmitted via the aligning shaft to the other side of the plate and there result in a corresponding displacement. As a result of the presence of the aligning shaft, no skewing can occur, not even when only one adjusting element is present. Accordingly, the aligning shaft provides much more freedom as regards the choice of the position where the adjusting element engages or the adjusting elements engage the plate.
- The transmission of the displacement from one side of the plate to the other side of the plate is in itself independent of the action of the adjusting element. The adjusting element can for instance engage the plate directly to bring the plate in a desired position. The aligning shaft with the gear racks or chains then automatically provide for equal travel of the sides of the plate relative to the frame, so that jamming or skewing of the plate relative to the frame is prevented well. Of great advantage is that just one adjusting element is needed in that the aligning shaft always ensures that the plate is not out of alignment.
- A further advantage of the present invention is that the aligning shaft with the gear wheels as well as the gear racks or chains are relatively unsusceptible to trouble. The aligning mechanism formed by these parts consists of relatively few moving, robust parts, which increases the durability and reliability of the apparatus. Further elaborations of the invention are described in the subclaims. Presently, the invention will be clarified on the basis of an exemplary embodiment and the drawing. In the drawing:

Figures 1-11 show an apparatus 1 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, whereby the chance of jamming or skewness is prevented. The present exemplary embodiment comprises aframe 2 which is provided with alower part 3 and two opposedside parts 4. Between theside parts 4 and above thelower part 3 is apassage 6 in the watercourse. The exemplary embodiment is further provided with aplate 5 which, under the influence of one adjustingelement 16, is movable between a clearing position and a closing position to clear and close thepassage 6, respectively. For the present exemplary embodiment, the clearing position is indicated in the art by the term "minimum damming position" and the closing position is indicated by the term "maximum damming position". In the present exemplary embodiment, assuming intermediate positions also belongs to the possibilities. Moreover, the exemplary embodiment is provided with an aligning mechanism to cause sides of theplate 5 to travel equally relative to theside parts 4 of the frame. - The construction of this mechanism will be described in more detail hereinbelow.
Figs. 1-4 show the exemplary embodiment in the clearing position of theplate 5. It is clearly visible that in this position thepassage 6 is not bounded in upward direction. The closing position of theplate 5 is clearly visible inFigs. 5-9 . - The exemplary embodiment is provided with guide means 7, 8 to guide the
plate 5 between the clearing position and the closing position. Such guide means 7, 8 can be designed in various ways. In the present exemplary embodiment, the guide means comprisefirst guide profiles 7 of the frame, as well as second guide profiles 8 of theplate 5. As shown inFigs. 10 and 11 , thefirst guide profiles 7 and second guide profiles 8 are arranged to cooperate with each other to guide theplate 5 through thepassage 6 in a suitable manner. To that end, thefirst guide profiles 7 are provided with parallelvertical guide slots 7a. The second guide profiles 8 are provided with elongate guide flanges 8a extending into theguide slots 7a of the first guide profiles 7. However, also other guides belong to the possibilities, for instance as described in applicant's earlier, non-prepublished European application04076491 - In the present exemplary embodiment, the adjusting element comprises a
spindle drive - However, other drives belong to the possibilities, such as, for instance, a gear/rack drive, a chain drive, a hydraulically or pneumatically energized piston/cylinder assembly or the like.
- The
present spindle drive passage 6. To that end, thespindle drive frame 2. Thetubular house 26 of the spindle drive is connected with a side of theweir plate 5, while asleeve 16 of the spindle drive, adjustable relative to thehouse 26, has an upper end connected with theframe 2. In the clearing position of the plate, thesleeve 16 extends outside thetubular house 26. Connected with thehouse 26, in the interior thereof, is aspindle 27, while a spindle nut 28 is connected with thesleeve 16. Adjustment of thesleeve 16 relative to thehouse 26 is effected by rotating thesleeve 16, for instance with a crank or motor which is coupled withshaft 29 which is connected with thesleeve 16 so as to be restrained from rotation. - The aligning mechanism referred to is provided with an aligning
shaft 18 and twogear wheels 15 mounted thereon. The aligningshaft 18 is connected with theframe 2. On theplate 5, adjacent the sides thereof, twogear racks 12 are arranged which cooperate with thegear wheels 15. In the present exemplary embodiment, theplate 5 is provided with the gear racks 12, while theframe 2 is provided with the aligningshaft 18 with thegear wheels 15. The gear racks 12 are fixedly connected to theplate 5. Moreover, the gear racks 12 extend parallel relative to each other. In an alternative embodiment, not shown, theframe 2 is provided with the gear racks 12, while theplate 5 carries the aligningshaft 18 with thegear wheels 15. Instead of gear racks 12, also chains fixedly connected with theplate 5 or theframe 2 can be used. - Preferably, the aligning
shaft 18 withgear wheels 15 and the gear racks 12 are each accommodated substantially in spaces at least partly screened from an environment, to prevent soiling. As shown inFigs. 10 and 11 , in the exemplary embodiment, such spaces are formed by the guide profiles 7, 8, theplate 5 and theside parts 4 of theframe 2. - As further shown in
Figs. 3 and8 , the gear racks 12 are each straight. The gear racks 12 extend along or adjacent the sides of theplate 5, spaced apart, on a rear side of theplate 5. The length of eachgear rack 12 is not greater than the height of theplate 5, but in the exemplary embodiment it is actually slightly less than that height, at least measured in the direction of movement of theplate 5. - The two
gear wheels 15 are mounted on the ends of the aligningshaft 18. The aligningshaft 18 is rotatably connected with thelower part 3 of theframe 2. The aligningshaft 18 extends under thepassage 6. Preferably, the aligningshaft 18 is accommodated in a space closed off substantially from the watercourse. What can thus be avoided is that rotation of the aligningshaft 18 is blocked or impeded under the influence of soiling or the like coming from the watercourse. - As clearly shown in
Figs. 9 and10 , the guide profiles 7, 8 are so dimensioned that eachgear wheel 15 and eachgear rack 12 mutually engage during the guidance provided by thoseprofiles 7, 8. The guide profiles 7, 8 can thus guarantee in a simple manner that theracks 12 of theplate 5 remain in contact with thegear wheels 15 coupled to theframe 2. - During use, a movement of the
plate 5 is kept equal on both sides of theplate 5 by the aligning shaft, to prevent theplate 5 jamming or skewing in theframe 2. The adjustingelement 16 does not engage theplate 5 via the aligningshaft 18 but is connected directly with theplate 5. Accordingly, the aligningshaft 18 with thegear wheels 15 and the gear racks orchains 12 provides for the equal travel of the sides of theplate 5, without forming part of an adjusting element. - It will be clear to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment described. Various modifications are possible within the framework of the invention such as it is set forth in the following claims.
- Thus, the adjusting element can be designed in different ways and be arranged in various positions. The adjusting element can for instance be designed as a traditional spindle drive, a piston/cylinder assembly or a chain drive. As the adjusting element no longer needs to be arranged in the middle for the purpose of a symmetrical loading of the plate, the upper bridge hitherto needed with single-spindle products can be dispensed with.
- The gear racks or chains can be formed in different ways, which depends inter alia on the path of movement which the aligning shaft traverses along the gear racks or chains. When the plate is, for instance, a pivoting plate capable of hinging about an axis, as described for instance in
EP-A 1 188 863 in which a tilting weir gate is described, the aligning shaft can for instance be connected with the pivoting plate adjacent the free upper edge of the pivoting plate, and the gear racks can be circular segment-shaped gear racks or chains connected with the frame. It will be clear that in such a variant, instead of a toothing, also a fixed chain can be provided on the circular segments, or a hole track or transverse pin track which is suitable for cooperation with a pin wheel.
