Description

  The present invention relates to a gate facility such as a pump gate facility.

  Various gate facilities including a vertically movable gate door body for opening and closing a water channel are known. For example, Patent Document 1 describes a pump gate facility in which a pump is built in a gate door body and the pump is drained when the gate door body is closed.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a conventional pump gate facility. The pump gate facility includes a gate door body 3 that can be moved up and down along a pair of door grooves 2 provided on the side wall of the water channel 1, and an opening / closing device 4 that moves the gate door body 3 up and down to open and close the water channel 1. Further, a pump 5 is attached to the gate door body 3, and this pump 5 drains water from the tributary side to the main river side when the gate door body 3 is closed. The pump gate facility further includes a cable reel 7 that winds up a cable 6 for supplying power to the pump 5.

  At normal times when the water level is low, the gate door 3 is in an open position rising from the water channel 1 as shown in FIG. 7, and the water in the water channel 1 naturally flows from the tributary side to the main river side. On the other hand, when the water level rises, the gate door body 3 is lowered to the closed position, and the water channel 1 is stopped. In detail, the water stop part 3a is provided in the lower part of the gate door body 3, and when this water stop part 3a contact | abuts to the baseplate 8 of the water channel 1, the branch river side and the main river side of the water channel 1 are stopped. The

  During normal times when the gate door 3 is in the open position, sand and garbage flow from the tributary side to the main river side. In some cases, the sand and garbage (hereinafter referred to as sand and the like) 9 are accumulated on the bottom plate 8 of the water channel 1 and the weeds are covered. In order to properly stop the water channel 1 with the gate door body 3, it is necessary to lower the gate door body 3 into the water channel 1 until the water stop portion 3 a contacts the bottom plate 8. However, when sand or the like 9 is accumulated on the bottom plate 8, the lower part of the gate door body 3 including the water stop part 3a or the lower part of the pump 5 interferes to lower the gate door body 3 as shown in FIG. I can't. Therefore, before the gate door 3 is closed, it is necessary to remove sand and the like 9 accumulated on the bottom plate 8 of the water channel 1.

  The removal of the sand and the like 9 deposited on the bottom plate 8 is preferably performed at normal times. However, since the frequency of closing the gate door body is not high (for example, several times a year), in general, the gate door body 3 is repeatedly raised and lowered several times to several tens of times immediately before water stoppage, The sand 9 and the like are crushed and removed from the bottom plate 8 at the lower part of the water stop part 3 a and the pump 5. The crushing of sand or the like 9 due to the repeated raising and lowering of the gate door body 3 causes damage to the pump 5, the connection portion between the pump 5 and the gate door body 3, and the water stop portion 3 a of the gate door body 3. Moreover, since considerable time is required for crushing sand etc. 9 by repeated raising and lowering of the gate door body 3, the gate door body 3 cannot be quickly closed even in an emergency. Further, for the operator of the pump gate equipment, crushing sand 9 and the like 9 by repeated raising and lowering of the gate door body 3 is troublesome, and there is a risk of damage to the gate door body 3 and the pump 5 as described above. It takes effort.

In addition, when a drainage pump attached to the gate door body is provided, the bottom plate of the water channel can be opened while the gate door body is open without damaging the gate door body, the connection portion between the pump and the gate door body, and the pump. Since the sand and dust accumulated in the portion can be easily and quickly removed, the gate door body can be quickly closed, and the water can be stopped and drained by a pump.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a pump gate facility according to an embodiment of the present invention removes sand and dust from a gate door body 12 that opens and closes a water channel 11 such as a drainage channel, a water channel, and the bottom of the water channel 11. And a removing device 13 for the purpose.

  The gate door body 12 is a roller gate in the present embodiment, and is provided so as to be movable up and down with respect to the water channel 11. Specifically, a pair of door grooves 14 extending in the vertical direction are provided on the side wall of the water channel 11, and a door wheel 16 provided on a side portion of the gate door body 12 is guided by the door groove 14. The lower end of the spindle 17 is connected to the upper surface of the gate door body 12. The gate door body 12 can be moved up and down by moving the spindle 17 up and down by an opening and closing machine 19 installed on a structure 18 provided in the water channel 11. Specifically, the opening / closing device 19 opens the water channel 11 by releasing the gate door body 12 above the water channel 11 by the opening / closing device 19 (see FIG. 1), and the closure that descends into the water channel 11 to stop the water channel 11. It can be moved to a position (see FIG. 6).

  A water stop portion 12 a that protrudes downward is provided at the lower portion of the gate door body 12. When the gate door body 12 is in the closed position, the water stop portion 12 a is formed on the bottom plate 21 disposed at the bottom of the water channel 11. By making contact, the tributary river side and the main river side are stopped. Further, a watertight rubber (not shown) is attached to the left side surface of the gate door 12 in the figure. When the gate door 12 is in the closed position, the watertight rubber is pressed against the structure 18, so that the tributary side and the main river side are blocked to ensure watertightness.

  Two pumps 22 for draining water from the tributary river side to the main river side at the aforementioned closed position are attached to the gate door body 12. In this embodiment, the pump 22 protrudes from the gate door body 12 to the tributary side. A cable reel 24 that winds up a cable 23 for supplying power to the pump 22 is installed on the structure 18.

  Next, the removal apparatus 13 will be described with further reference to FIGS. The removing device 13 includes a removing plate 26 and an elevating device 27 for moving the removing plate 26 up and down.

  The removal plate 26 can be moved up and down between a descending position arranged on the bottom plate 21 as shown in FIG. 1 and an ascending position separated from the water channel 11 upward on the tributary side as shown in FIG. The removal plate 26 corresponds to a bottom view of the lower portion of the gate door body 12 including the water stop portion 12a and the portion of the pump 22 protruding from the gate door body 12 (the shape seen from the arrow A in FIGS. 1 and 6). A removal plate body 28 having a shape and dimensions is provided. As shown most clearly in FIG. 4, the removal plate main body 28 in this embodiment is rectangular, and the shape and dimensions thereof are a portion protruding from the lower part of the gate door body 12 and the gate door body 12 of the pump 22. It is set larger than the bottom view. Further, a pair of side plates 29 protruding upward are fixed to the side edges of the removal plate main body 28 facing in the direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the water channel 11. Further, the lower ends of the four suspension pipes 31 are rotatably connected to the upper surface of the removal plate 26. The upper ends of these suspension pipes 31 are fixed to one suspension fitting 32 every two. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4 only, the side edge of the removal plate main body 28 facing the direction orthogonal to the flow direction of the water channel 11 prevents sand and dust from entering the door groove 14 at the lowered position. A packing 33 is mounted.

  The lifting device 27 includes a pair of chain guide rails 34 attached to the side wall of the water channel 11 and a pair of chains 36 guided by these chain guide rails 34. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, a suspension fitting 32 on the removal plate 26 side is connected to one end of each of the pair of chains 36. The suspension fitting 32 is rotatably connected to the chain 36 by a pin 37, and the removal plate main body 28 always maintains a horizontal posture even if it is located at the aforementioned lowered position, raised position, or a position between them. It is like that.

  The elevating device 27 includes an electric motor 38 installed on the structure 18, and the electric motor 38 rotationally drives a drive shaft 39 extending horizontally across the water channel 11. A pair of gears 41 fixed to both ends of the drive shaft 39 are engaged with the chain 36, respectively. Accordingly, by rotating the drive shaft 39 forward and backward by the electric motor 38, the chain 36 can be moved in two directions as indicated by arrows B1 and B2, and thereby the removal plate 26 can be moved up and down.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, the ascending position of the removal plate 26 is located on the tributary side with respect to the ascending / descending path between the closed position and the open position of the gate door body 12, and the chain guide rail 34 and the chain 36 are From the lower end side to the upper end side (the electric motor 38 and the drive shaft 39 side), it extends obliquely in a direction away from the lifting path of the gate door body 12. As a result, the removal plate 26 and the gate door 12 do not interfere with each other during elevation.

  Based on the water level on the tributary side and the main river side of the water channel 11 detected by the water level gauges 43A and 43B, and the signal from the limit switch 45 that detects that the removal plate 26 has reached the ascending position, The operation of the opening / closing device 19 of the door 12, the pump 22, and the lifting device 27 of the removing device 13 is controlled. Hereinafter, the operation of the gate pump facility of this embodiment controlled by the controller 42 will be described.

  At normal times when the water level of the water channel 11 is sufficiently low, the gate door body 12 is in an open position separated from the water channel 11 as shown in FIG. Further, at this normal time, the removal plate 26 of the removal device 13 is in the lowered position and is placed on the bottom plate 21 of the water channel 11. At normal times, sand and garbage flow from the tributary river side to the main river side, and this sand and garbage (hereinafter referred to as sand etc.) 44 accumulates on the bottom of the water channel 11. However, since the removal plate 26 is placed on the bottom plate 21, sand or the like 44 does not directly deposit on the bottom plate 21, but sand or the like 44 accumulates on the removal plate main body 28 of the removal plate 26. Only. Further, the pair of side plates 29 and the packing 33 (see FIG. 4) protruding from the side edges of the removal plate main body 28 prevent sand and dust from entering the vicinity of the lower end of the door groove 14.

  When the water level of the water channel 11 rises to a predetermined water level, the electric motor 38 of the elevating device 27 is started and the drive shaft 39 starts to rotate. With the gear 41 that rotates together with the drive shaft 39, the chain 36 moves along the chain guide rail 34 in the direction of arrow B1 in FIG. As a result, as shown by an arrow C1 in FIG. 6, the removal plate 26 moves from the lowered position to the raised position. As described above, the sand etc. 44 is accumulated on the removal plate 26, but the sand etc. 44 is not accumulated on the bottom plate 21 of the water channel 11. Therefore, when the removal plate 26 moves away from the lowered position, the sand etc. 44 is formed. The bottom plate 21 that is not deposited is exposed. Further, since the pair of side plates 29 are attached to the removal plate main body 28, the sand 44 or the like 44 is prevented from falling from the removal plate 26 when moving from the lowered position to the raised position. Next, when it is detected by the limit switch 45 that the removal plate 26 is completely raised to the raised position, the gate door 12 is moved from the open position to the closed position by the opening / closing device 19 as shown by an arrow C2 in FIG. Moving. As described above, since sand or the like 44 is not deposited on the bottom plate 21, the water stop portion 12 a of the gate door body 12 can be brought into contact with the bottom plate 21 with a single descent. Further, since sand or the like 44 is not deposited on the bottom plate 21, the lower part of the gate door body 12 or the lower part of the pump 22 protruding from the gate door body 12 to the tributary side collides with the sand etc. 44 and is damaged. Can be prevented. After the gate door 12 is closed, when the water level on the outside water side becomes higher than the water level difference determined in advance from the water level on the inside water side, the pump 22 is started and the water level is changed from the inside water side to the outside water side. Start drainage operation.

  When the gate door 12 is returned from the closed position to the open position, the electric motor 38 of the elevating device 27 is started to move the chain 36 in the direction of arrow B2 in FIG. Move to the lowered position.

  As described above, in the pump gate facility of the present embodiment, when the gate door body 12 is in the open position, the removal plate 26 is disposed at the lowered position on the bottom plate 21 and the gate door body 12 is moved to the closed position. By moving the removal plate 26 from the lowered position to the raised position, the sand and dust accumulated on the bottom plate 21 of the water channel 11 during the opening of the gate door body 12 can be easily and without damaging the gate door body 12. Can be removed quickly. Therefore, the gate door 12 can be quickly closed to stop the water, and the drainage operation of the pump 22 can be started quickly.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the present invention can be applied not only to the pump gate facility but also to a gate facility having a normal gate door that is not equipped with a pump. Moreover, you may set the raising position of a removal board to the main river side rather than a gate door body. Further, the gate door body is not limited to the roller gate, and may be another type such as a slide gate. Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the raising and lowering of the gate door body and the removal plate are automatically controlled by the controller, but a configuration in which the gate door body and the removal plate are manually raised and lowered can also be adopted. Further, the lifting device that raises and lowers the removal plate is not limited to the chain drive, and for example, a configuration in which the removal plate is raised and lowered by a hydraulic cylinder or the like may be employed.
