Description

  The present invention relates to a rotary gate that is installed at a midway position in a river or a waterway and is opened and closed by a rotating operation of a door body around a horizontal axis, and an installation method thereof.

  A roller gate type gate is generally used as a gate that is provided in the middle of a river or waterway to adjust the flow rate. Such a roller gate is a gate housing in which vertical support pillar members (peers) are installed at a necessary interval in the width direction of the river, and a gate door body is provided to be movable up and down between adjacent support pillar members. The body can be moved up and down (opened and closed) by an opening and closing device installed at the upper end of the support column member.

  In this type of roller gate, side rollers are provided at required positions on both the left and right ends of the gate door body, and on the other hand, the inner (gate door body side) surface portion of each support column member located on the left and right sides of the gate door body. The guide members extending in the vertical direction are provided respectively, and the left and right side rollers of the gate door body are caused to abut on the surfaces of the guide members provided on the support pillar members on the corresponding side, respectively. The position in the span direction of the gate door body can be held.

  However, in the roller gate, it is necessary to secure a height dimension corresponding to the lifting of the gate door body on the water surface in each of the support column members, and an elevating device is installed at the upper end of the support column member. Therefore, a large structure protrudes on the surface of the water, which has an unfavorable effect on the surrounding environment and the landscape.

  Therefore, in recent years, a rotary gate has been developed as one of the gate types that can eliminate the problems of the roller gate as described above by eliminating the need to provide a lifting device at the upper end of the support column member. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, an outline of an example of such a rotary gate is provided with support pillar members 2 as frame bodies at required intervals in the width direction of a river, and a water channel between adjacent support pillar members 2. 1 and a pair of left and right support shafts 3 extending coaxially on the inner side surface (water channel center side surface) of each support column member 2 facing each other across the water channel 1 and extending horizontally in the horizontal direction. The required dimensions are provided so as to protrude toward the center. Further, a left-right direction is formed as a shell structure having an arcuate (substantially crescent-shaped) cross section between the peripheral portions of a pair of left and right support disks 5 having an inner diameter shaft hole 6 corresponding to the outer diameter of each of the support shafts 3 at the center. The gate body 4 is configured by disposing a door body 7 extending in the direction and attaching the left and right ends of the door body 7 to the support disk 5 respectively. Further, the gate body 4 is disposed so as to cross the water channel between the left and right support column members 2, and the left and right support column members 2 are provided with shaft holes 6 of the left and right support discs 5. So that the gate body 4 can be rotated around the support shaft 3 in the water channel 1 between the left and right support column members 2. I support it.

  Further, as the rotational drive mechanism 8 of the gate body 4, a rack portion 9 such as a pin rack extends in the circumferential direction at the outer peripheral end portion of one of the left and right support discs 5 (right side in the figure). In addition, the pinion 11 attached to the output shaft of the drive device 10 such as a hydraulic motor installed in the support column member 2 on the corresponding side is engaged with the rack portion 9.

  With the above-described configuration, according to the rotary gate, the gate body 4 is rotated integrally with the one support disk 5 provided with the rack portion 9 by the rotational drive of the pinion 11 by the driving device 10. Thus, the angle and height position of the door body 7 provided in the gate body 4 can be freely changed. Therefore, the flow rate of the water flowing through the water channel 1 can be adjusted by appropriately changing the angle and height arrangement of the door body 7 in the water channel 1 between the left and right support column members 2, and the door The water level on the upstream side and downstream side of the body 7 can be adjusted.

  Reference numeral 12 denotes a boss provided at the center of the support disk 5, and the shaft hole 6 is provided at the center of the boss 12. Reference numeral 13 denotes a recess provided on the inner side surface of each of the left and right support column members 2 so as to accommodate the support disk 5 (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Further, the rotary gate is positioned on the outer peripheral portion of the gate body 4 and a side seal portion for sealing between the both ends of the gate body 4 and the support pillar members 2 positioned on the left and right sides thereof. A watertight structure is provided with a bottom seal portion that seals between a required portion of the door body 7 and the bottom of the water channel 1 in the longitudinal direction.

  As the side seal portion, as shown in FIG. 6, at a required portion facing the outer peripheral surface 5 a of the support disc 5 in the concave portion 13 provided to accommodate the support disc 5 in the left and right support column members 2, As a configuration in which the watertight rubber 15 is disposed so as to extend in the circumferential direction through a required mounting member 16, the protruding end portion of the watertight rubber 15 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface 5 a of the support disk 5. A side seal portion 14 of a type in which a watertight state is maintained has been conventionally used.

  Further, as another type of side seal portion, the present inventors correspond to the left and right end portions of the curved surface 7a of the door body 7 with the left and right end portions of the door body 7 as shown in FIG. A water-tight rubber 18 having a substantially L-shaped cross-section, which is a bent portion 18a that bends at a required angle in a direction away from the curved surface 7a of the door body 7, is provided over the entire length in the bending direction. It is also conceivable to employ the side seal portion 17 having a configuration in which the tip end portion of the bent portion 18a of the watertight rubber 18 is brought into contact with the inner side surface portions of the left and right support column members 2 by being attached via the attachment member 19. ing. According to the side seal portion 17 having such a configuration, when water is dammed by the curved surface 7 a of the door body 7, the water pressure of the dammed water is applied to the bent portion 18 a of the watertight rubber 18. Therefore, the distal end portion of the bent portion 18a of the watertight rubber 18 is pressed against the inner side surface portion of the corresponding support column member 2 to be brought into close contact with each other. Therefore, a watertight state can be maintained between the left and right end edges of the curved surface 7a of the door body 7 and the left and right support column members 2.

  6 and 7, the same components as those shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  By the way, in general, since the door body of the gate expands or contracts as the temperature changes, the lateral width dimension of the door body also expands and contracts according to the temperature change. When the expansion and contraction in the left-right direction accompanying the temperature change of the door body as described above is repeated, there is a concern that the position of the door body may be biased in the left-right direction (inter-diameter direction) between the spans. For this reason, a mechanism for positioning the door body so that the door body can be correctly held at the center of the span is provided even when the span of the gate is expanded or contracted due to a temperature change.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-316859 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-183586

  However, in the conventional rotary gate, the actual condition is that there is no particular mechanism for positioning the door body 7 of the gate body 4 so as to be arranged at the center of the span. That is, as the side seal portion, the side seal portion 14 of the type in which the watertight rubber 15 attached to the housing side is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface 5a of the left and right support disks 5 of the gate body 4 as shown in FIG. In the rotary gate employed, even if the gate body 4 is slightly displaced from the center of the span in the left-right direction, the position in contact with the water-tight rubber 15 on the outer peripheral surface 5a of each support disc 5 is the axis of the support disc 5 Since it was only slightly displaced in the direction, the watertight state hardly changed. Therefore, in the conventional rotary gate, even if the door body 7 of the gate body 4 expands and contracts with the temperature change, the position of the door body 7 is shifted from the center of the span in the left-right direction. Since there were few, the positioning means which can hold | maintain the door body 7 of the gate main body 4 in the center of a span was not provided.

  However, even in the above-described rotary gate, it may be desired that the position of the door body 7 can be held at the center of the span regardless of the expansion and contraction of the door body 7 due to the temperature change.

  Further, when the side seal portion 17 as shown in FIG. 7 is adopted as the side seal portion, if the door body 7 of the gate body 4 is shifted in the left-right direction from the center of the span, Since the distance between the mounting position of the water-tight rubber 18 at both edge portions and the inner side surface portions of the left and right support column members 2 is close to one side in the left-right direction and separated from the other side, When the watertight rubber 18 is over-compressed with respect to the inner side surface of the support column member 2, the overtightened watertight rubber 18 is damaged, or when the watertight rubber 18 slides with the inner side surface portion of the support column member 2. There is a concern that the friction may increase and the resistance of the gate body 4 to the rotation operation may become great. On the other side in the left-right direction, there is a concern that the watertight rubber 18 may be insufficiently pressed against the inner side surface of the support column member 2 and the watertight rubber 18 may be turned up or the watertight state cannot be maintained. become. Therefore, in order to employ the side seal portion 17 as shown in FIG. 7, it is necessary to prevent the possibility of over-compression of the right and left water-tight rubber 18 and insufficient crimping. It is desirable to be able to hold the position of the body 7 at the center of the span.

  In addition, in the roller gate described above, in view of the fact that side rollers that are in contact with the inner wall portion of the housing located on the outer side in the left-right direction are provided at required positions on the left and right ends of the gate door body, As means for holding the door 7 of the rotary gate at the center of the span, side rollers 20 are provided on the outer surface portions of the left and right support disks 5 located at the left and right ends of the gate body 4 as shown in FIG. Are provided, and the left and right side rollers 20 are brought into contact with required portions of the support pillar member 2 as a casing located outside in the left-right direction, thereby preventing the gate body 4 from being displaced in the left-right direction. It is conceivable to determine the arrangement of the door bodies 7 in the span direction.

  However, in this case, for example, a space of about 200 mm is provided as an installation space for each of the side rollers 20 between the outer surface of the left and right support disks 5 and the support column member 2 positioned on the outer side in the left-right direction. Therefore, there is a problem that the left and right width dimensions of the entire apparatus are increased. In addition, the positioning in the left-right direction by the side roller 20 may not be effective when the door body 7 contracts in the left-right direction as the temperature decreases. Further, it is not preferable that the side rollers 20 are brought into direct contact with the concrete surface of the support column member 2 as the frame, and the side rollers 20 in the support column member 2 are brought into contact with each other in order to prevent damage to the concrete. It is necessary to dispose a steel receiving member (not shown) for receiving the side roller 20 so as to extend in a direction in which the side roller 20 travels. There is also a problem that the construction becomes complicated because it becomes necessary to work with the housing.

  Therefore, the present invention intends to provide a rotary gate that can always hold the door body in the center of the span and its installation method even if the door body expands or contracts due to temperature change without expanding the left-right width dimension. To do.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention, corresponding to claim 1, is configured such that the shaft holes of the pair of left and right support disks are rotatably fitted to the left and right support shafts provided on the left and right support column members, respectively. In addition, in the rotary gate configured to be able to rotate the gate body composed of the left and right support discs and a door attached between the peripheral portions of the left and right support discs around the left and right support shafts, A spring member is provided between the front end surface of the left and right support shafts and an end plate that closes the center of the water channel of the shaft hole of the left and right support disks, and the elastic force of each spring member allows The rotary gate is configured such that the door body can be positioned by urging the left and right support disks toward the center of the water channel via the end plate.

  In the above configuration, a thrust member having a required thickness dimension is interposed between the tip surfaces of the left and right support shafts and the left and right end plates to adjust the thickness dimension of the thrust ring. Thus, the compressed state of the left and right spring members can be adjusted.

  Further, in each of the above configurations, by attaching a liner having a required thickness dimension to the side surface portion on the support shaft side of the left and right end plates and adjusting the thickness dimension of the liner, It is set as the structure which enabled adjustment of the space | interval with the front end surface of this support shaft.

  Let the spring member in each above-mentioned composition be the composition made into the disc spring.

  Further, in accordance with claim 5, after the left and right support shafts are respectively provided on the left and right support column members, the distance from the center of the water channel of the front end surface of each support shaft is measured in the field. A shaft body of a pair of left and right support disks prepared in advance is fitted to the support shaft in a rotatable manner, and a gate body is constructed by attaching a door body between the peripheral portions of the left and right support disks, After measuring the left and right width dimensions and temperature of the door body in the gate body, the amount of expansion and contraction accompanying the temperature change of the door body is obtained from the measured left and right width dimensions and temperature of the door body, Determine the thickness dimension of the thrust ring interposed together with the spring member between the tip surface of the support shaft and the end plate that closes the water channel center side end of the shaft hole of the left and right support disks, and then The machined so as to have the determined thickness dimension And a string, and a spring member, insert the shaft hole of the support disk, a mounting method of the rotary gate to attach the end plate to the water channel center side ends of the shaft hole.

According to the present invention, the following excellent effects are exhibited.
(1) A pair of left and right support discs are rotatably fitted to left and right support shafts provided on the left and right support column members, respectively, and the left and right support discs and the peripheral portions of the left and right support discs In a rotary gate configured to be able to rotate a gate body composed of a door body mounted between the left and right support shafts, the front end surfaces of the left and right support shafts and the shaft holes of the left and right support disks A spring member is provided between each end plate that closes the end of the water channel center, and the left and right support disks are urged toward the center of the water channel via the end plate by the elastic force of each spring member. Since the door is positioned as a rotary gate, the gate body can be held in the center of the span by always pushing the gate body from the left and right sides to the center of the waterway. Can do.
(2) Adjusting the thickness dimension of the thrust ring by inserting a spring member and a thrust ring having a required thickness dimension between the front end surfaces of the left and right support shafts and the left and right end plates, respectively. The thickness of the thrust ring can be adjusted to the actual position of the front end surface of each of the left and right support shafts and the temperature change of the door body by adjusting the compression state of the left and right spring members. By setting the expansion and contraction in consideration, even if the door body expands and contracts in the width direction as the temperature changes, the elastic force of the spring member can always be exhibited, and the door body regardless of the temperature change. Can be held in the center of the span.
(3) As described above, even when a side seal portion of a type including a watertight rubber for forming a watertight structure between the both end edge portions of the door body and the inner side surface portion of the support column member is used, It is possible to prevent the possibility of over-compression of water-tight rubber and insufficient crimping.
(4) A liner having a required thickness dimension is attached to the side surface portion on the support shaft side of the left and right end plates, and the thickness dimension of the liner is adjusted so that the front end surface of the liner and the left and right support shafts By adopting a configuration that can adjust the distance from the front end surface, the thickness dimension of the liner is set in consideration of the actual position of the front end surface of each support shaft and the expansion and contraction associated with the temperature change of the door body. By doing so, even when the expansion in the width direction accompanying the temperature rise of the door body occurs, the possibility that the spring member is excessively compressed and damaged can be prevented.
(5) The spring member, thrust ring, and liner are arranged between the front end surfaces of the left and right support shafts and the end plate that closes the water channel center side end of the shaft hole of the left and right support disks.

Further, by adopting a configuration in which the spring member is a disc spring, it can be made more advantageous in terms of the space required for installation.
(6) After the left and right support shafts are respectively provided on the left and right support column members, the distance from the center of the water channel of the front end surface of each support shaft is measured in the field, and then the left and right support shafts are manufactured in advance.

Thrust ring processed to be (1) (2) by adopting a rotary gate installation method in which a member is inserted into the shaft hole of the support disk and then an end plate is attached to the water channel center side end portion of the shaft hole. It is possible to construct a rotary gate that can reliably obtain the effect of (3).

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  1 and 2 show the rotary gate of the present invention. In the rotary gate similar to that shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the support disks 5 at the left and right ends of the gate body 4 are connected to the support disks. 5 is provided with a detachable end plate 21 that closes the water channel center side end portion of the shaft hole 6 at the center of the inner side surface portion (water channel center side surface portion), and is further provided on the left and right support column members 2. A spring member between the distal end surfaces of the left and right support shafts 3 and the end plate 21 that closes the center end of the water channel of the shaft hole 6 of the left and right support disks 5 fitted to the support shafts 3. The disc springs 22 are configured to be interposed in a required compressed state. Accordingly, the end plates 21 are integrated with the end plates 21 by the elastic force (restoring force) of the compressed disc springs 22 with reference to the tip surfaces of the left and right support shafts 3 fixed to the left and right support column members 2. Further, by urging the left and right support disks 5 toward the center of the water channel, a force pushing the gate body 4 from both sides in the left and right direction toward the center of the water channel can be applied.

  More specifically, the end plate 21 has a diameter larger than that of the shaft hole 6 in the support disk 5 by a required dimension. On the other hand, at a portion surrounding the shaft hole 6 in the inner surface portion of the boss 12 of the support disk 5, a step having a diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the end plate 21 and a depth dimension corresponding to the thickness of the end plate 21. The outer peripheral portion of the end plate 21 is inserted into the stepped portion 23 from the center of the water channel and engaged with the step portion 23, and the circumferentially required interval portions of the outer peripheral portion of the end plate 21 are connected via bolts 24. It can be firmly fixed. Thus, when the elastic force of the disc spring 22 in the required compressed state acts on the end plate 21 from the shaft hole 6 side, the elastic force of the disc spring 22 acting on the end plate 21 is changed to the end plate. It can be transmitted to the support disk 5 via 21. Further, a liner mounting seat 25 for mounting a liner 26, which will be described later, is provided at the center of the side surface of the shaft hole 6 in the end plate 21 with an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the disc spring 22 to the shaft hole 6 side. The structure is provided so as to project integrally.

  A thrust washer 27 made of a material having a small friction coefficient is integrally attached to the tip of the support shaft 3.

  The disc spring 22 has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft hole 6 and a shape having an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the liner mounting seat 25 of the end plate 21. Therefore, in the state where the shaft hole 6 of the support disk 5 is fitted to the support shaft 3 and is rotatably supported, the central surface of the water channel of the thrust washer 27 (hereinafter simply referred to as support) (Referred to as the front end surface of the shaft 3) and the inner surface of the shaft hole 6 sandwiched between the surface of the end plate 21 attached to the support disk 5 on the shaft hole 6 side (support shaft 3 side). The spring 22 can be accommodated and arranged.

  Further, between the disc spring 22 disposed in the inner space of the shaft hole 6 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3, the disc spring 22 has an outer diameter substantially the same as the disc spring 22, and the inner diameter is the inner diameter of the disc spring 22. The configuration is such that a thrust ring 28 made of a material having a smaller diameter and a small friction coefficient having a required thickness dimension a is interposed. Thereby, by changing the thickness dimension a of the thrust ring 28, the other side surface (the left side surface in the drawing) of which one side surface (the right side surface in the drawing) is in contact with the tip end surface of the support shaft 3; The compression of the disc spring 22 is arranged in a compressed state between the other side surface of the thrust ring 28 and the end plate 21 by adjusting the distance b between the side surface of the shaft hole 6 of the end plate 21. The amount can be adjusted. Further, when the elastic force of the disc spring 22 in the compressed state is transmitted to the support shaft 3 side, the thrust ring 28 which is in contact with the thrust washer 27 at the tip of the support shaft 3 is interposed. By doing so, the elastic force is transmitted to the support shaft 3 side with no deviation in the circumferential direction and the radial direction.

  Furthermore, a liner 26 having a required thickness dimension c is attached to the liner attachment seat 25 of the end plate 21. Thereby, by adjusting the thickness c of the liner 26, the distance d between the surface of the liner 26 on the side opposite to the end plate 21 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3 can be adjusted. Therefore, the displacement amount when the support disk 5 to which the end plate 21 is attached is displaced outward in the left-right width direction is the displacement amount until the liner 26 comes into contact with the distal end surface of the support shaft 3 at the maximum. In other words, the displacement can be limited to a displacement corresponding to the distance d between the liner 26 and the tip end surface of the support shaft 3. Therefore, the disc spring 22 has an interval between the liner 26 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3 based on the dimension of the interval b between the thrust ring 28 and the end plate 21 which is the accommodating space of the disc spring 22 described above. There is a possibility that the compression is performed up to a dimension corresponding to the remaining value obtained by subtracting the dimension of d. However, the value of the difference between the dimension of the distance b and the dimension of the distance d indicates that the compression of the disc spring 22 is excessive. By setting the thickness dimension c of the liner 26 so as not to occur, the door body 7 extends in the width direction as the temperature rises, and the left and right supports attached to both ends of the door body 7 are supported. Even when the disks 5 are displaced outward in the left-right width direction, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the disc spring 22 is excessively compressed to cause damage such as breakage.

  29 is a sleeve made of a material having a small friction coefficient interposed between the outer peripheral surface of each support shaft 3 and the inner peripheral surface of the shaft hole 6 of each support disk 5, and 30 is a step portion 23 and an end of the support disc 5. This is an O-ring that seals between the plate 21. Other components that are the same as those shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  Next, a method for installing the rotary gate will be described.

  First, in order to form the water channel 1 having a predetermined width, the installation accuracy is managed so that the distance dimension from the center of the water channel to the inner side surface portions of the left and right support column members 2 is within the required error range from the design value. While performing, the left and right support pillar members 2 are constructed as a casing for supporting the gate body 4. When the left and right support column members 2 are constructed, the rotary gates to be installed are arranged on the left and right end edges of the curved surface 7a of the door body 7 at the inner side surface portions of the left and right support column members 2 as shown in FIG. In the case of a rotary gate having a side seal portion 17 in which a watertight rubber 18 to be contacted is provided, the installation accuracy is managed from the center of the water channel to the inner side portions of the left and right support column members 2. The error from the design value of the distance dimension is prevented from swinging to the plus side. This is because if the error is swung to the plus side, the contact amount of the water-tight rubber 18 of the side seal portion 17 with the inner side surface portion of the support column member 2 is reduced, and the water-tight rubber 18 is likely to be turned up. This is because there is a concern that the watertight state cannot be maintained. Thereafter, the positions of the left and right support column members 2 that are actually constructed are positioned on the left and right sides of the door body 7 of the gate body 4 from the center of the water channel of the inner side surface of each of the support column members 2. Measure on-site.

  Next, while controlling the installation accuracy so that the distance dimension from the center of the water channel to the distal end surfaces of the left and right support shafts 3 falls within the required error range from the design value, the left and right support shafts are placed on the respective support column members 2. 3 is installed. Then, the position e from the center of the water channel of the tip surfaces of the left and right support shafts 3 actually installed is measured on site.

  Next, the factory-manufactured door body 7 and the end plate 21 are removed by feeding back the field measurement results of the installation positions of the left and right support column members 2 and the installation positions of the left and right support shaft 3 tip surfaces to the design. The left and right support disks 5 are brought into the field, and the shaft holes 6 of the left and right support disks 5 are fitted to the left and right support shafts 3 attached to the left and right support column members 2, respectively. Is supported rotatably. After that, the gate body 4 is formed by attaching the door body 7 between the left and right support disks 5 by welding or the like.

  Thereafter, the width dimension L of the door body 7 in the formed gate body 4 is measured on site. At this time, since the door body 7 expands and contracts in the left-right direction in accordance with a temperature change, the temperature t of the door body 7 at the time of the width dimension measurement is measured.

  Here, the setting principle of the thickness dimension of the thrust ring 28 and the thickness dimension of the liner 26 will be described.

Paying attention to the expansion and contraction in the left-right direction depending on the temperature change of the door body 7, the width dimension of the door body 7 measured in the field is L, and the temperature t of the door body 7 when the width dimension L is measured in the field. If the temperature difference from a required reference temperature, for example, 25 ° C. is Δt (Δt = 25−t) ° C. and the average linear expansion coefficient is α, the left and right directions when the width L of the door body 7 is measured are measured in the left-right direction. The expansion / contraction amount ΔL of
ΔL = L × α × Δt
It becomes. Specifically, when the width L measured in the field of the door body 7 is 12500 mm and the average linear expansion coefficient α is 17.3 (10 ⁻⁶ / ° C.), the door body 7 is expanded and contracted in the left-right direction. The amount ΔL (mm) is
ΔL = 12,500 × 17.3 × Δt
It has become.

  By the way, when the center of the door body 7 is made coincident with the center of the water channel, the positions of the left and right end portions of the door body 7 are the center side surfaces of the water channel of the left and right support disks 5 respectively attached to the left and right sides of the door body 7. Accordingly, the position of the center side surface of the water channel in each of the support disks 5 from the water channel center is a position corresponding to a half value (L / 2) of the width L of the door body 7.

  Further, if the thickness dimension of the end plate 21 to be attached to the stepped portion 23 of the left and right support disks 5 is f, the end plate 21 is attached to the stepped portion 23 to close the end of the shaft hole 6 on the center side of the water channel. At this time, the position of the side surface of the shaft hole 6 of the end plate 21 from the center of the water channel is the position of (L / 2) + f.

  Therefore, the position (L / 2) + f from the center of the channel on the side surface of the shaft hole 6 of the end plate 21 attached to the support disk 5 is subtracted from the value of the position e from the center of the channel of the tip surface of the support shaft 3 measured in the field. And the distance h (h = e − {(L / 2) + f}) between the end plate 21 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3, that is, the shaft hole 6 for disposing the disc spring 22 and the thrust ring 28. The size of the interior space can be calculated.

  Therefore, as described above, when the thickness dimension a of the thrust ring 28 is determined, the distance b (b = ha) between the thrust ring 28 and the end plate 21 is naturally determined. The compression state of the disc spring 22 interposed between the end plate 21 and the end plate 21 can be set.

  However, among the parameters for deriving the distance h between the end plate 21 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3, the width dimension L of the door body 7 changes according to the temperature t of the door body 7 when the width dimension L is measured. It is a value including the amount of expansion ΔL in the left-right direction of the door body 7 to be performed.

  Therefore, in the present invention, when the door body 7 is in the most contracted state due to a decrease in temperature in order to make the center of the door body 7 coincide with the center of the water channel 1 and be held at the center of the span. Even in such a state, the disc spring 22 is somewhat compressed between the end plates 21 attached to the support disks 5 at both ends of the door body 7 and the thrust ring 28 disposed on the front end surface side of each support shaft 3. In order to be able to exert an elastic force in such a manner, the thickness dimension a of the thrust ring 28 is as follows according to the temperature t when the width dimension L of the door body 7 is measured. To guide.

That is, when the temperature of the door body 7 is 25 ° C., the dimension of the distance b between the thrust ring 28 and the end plate 21 that is desired so that the disc spring 22 can be arranged in a required compressed state is set. Assuming x, when the temperature of the door L when the width L is measured is t ° C., the interval b where the disc springs 22 should be arranged is from 25 ° C. of the temperature t of the door 7. Based on the value of the expansion / contraction amount ΔL of the door body 7 that changes in proportion to the temperature difference Δt of
b = x−ΔL / 2
Can be obtained as Specifically, for example, when the desired dimension x is 53.4 mm so that the disc spring 22 can be arranged in a required compressed state when the temperature of the door body 7 is 25 ° C., the plate The distance b between the thrust ring 28 where the spring 22 is to be disposed and the end plate 21 may be changed as shown in Table 1 below according to the temperature t of the door body 7 when the width L is measured.

  Accordingly, the thrust ring 28 and the end plate on which the disc spring 22 is to be disposed are determined from the distance h between the end plate 21 and the tip end surface of the support shaft 3 that is formed when the end plate 21 is attached to the support disk 5. By subtracting the distance b from 21, the thickness dimension a desired for the thrust ring 28 can be determined.

  On the other hand, the amount of protrusion of the liner mounting seat 25 provided integrally with the end plate 21 toward the shaft hole 6 is defined as g, and the end plate 21 is attached to the stepped portion 23 of the support disk 5 so Is closed, the tip of the liner mounting seat 25 is at a position of (L / 2) + f + g from the center of the water channel.

  Therefore, subtracting the position (L / 2) + f + g from the water channel center of the tip of the liner mounting seat 25 of the end plate 21 from the value of the position e from the water channel center of the support shaft 3 tip surface measured in the field, A distance i (i = e − {(L / 2) + f + g}) between the front end portion of the liner mounting seat 25 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3 can be calculated.

  Therefore, when the thickness dimension c of the liner 26 attached to the liner attachment seat 25 is determined, the distance d (d = ic) between the liner 26 and the tip end surface of the support shaft 3 is determined naturally.

  However, among the parameters for deriving the distance i between the liner mounting seat 25 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3, the width dimension L of the door body 7 depends on the temperature t of the door body 7 when the width dimension L is measured. This is a value including the amount of expansion / contraction ΔL in the left-right direction of the changing door body 28.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the thickness dimension of the liner 26 is derived as follows according to the temperature t when the width dimension L of the door body 7 is measured.

That is, when the temperature of the door body 7 is 25 ° C. and the dimension of the distance d to be formed between the liner 26 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3 is y, the width L is measured. The distance d when the temperature of the door body 7 is t ° C. is based on the value of the expansion / contraction amount ΔL of the door body 7 that changes in proportion to the temperature difference Δt of the temperature t of the door body 7 from 25 ° C.
d = y−ΔL / 2
Can be obtained as Specifically, for example, when the dimension y of the gap to be formed between the liner 26 and the front end surface of the support shaft 3 is 10.0 mm when the temperature of the door body 7 is 25 ° C., the liner 26 and The distance d from the front end surface of the support shaft 3 may be changed as shown in Table 2 below according to the temperature t of the door body 7 when the width dimension L is measured.

  Therefore, from the distance i between the tip of the liner mounting seat 25 and the tip of the support shaft 3 that is formed when the end plate 21 is attached to the support disk 5, the liner 26 and the tip of the support shaft 3 are By subtracting the distance d, the thickness dimension c desired for the liner 26 can be determined.

  Thereafter, based on the value of the thickness dimension a of the thrust ring 28 and the value of the thickness dimension c of the liner 26 determined as described above, the thickness dimensions a and c are respectively desired at the factory. The thrust ring 28 and the liner 26 are finally processed.

  Thereafter, the final processed thrust ring 28 and disc spring 22 are inserted into the shaft holes 6 in the left and right support disks 5 of the gate body 4 rotatably supported by the left and right support shafts 3 at the site. After the insertion, the end plate 21 having the liner 26 which has been finally processed attached to the liner mounting seat 25 is fitted to the step portion 23 formed at the end of the shaft hole 6 on the center side of the channel from the center of the channel. Let it be bolted.

  According to the rotary gate installed as described above, the shaft holes 6 are formed in the front end portions of the left and right support shafts 3 provided on the left and right support column members 2 of the water channel 1 and the left and right support disks 5 of the gate body 4. By applying the elastic force of the disc spring 22 to the end plate 21 attached so as to close the end portion of the water channel center side, the left and right support disks 5 are integrated with the end plate 21 to the water channel center side. Can be energized. Thereby, the said gate main body 4 can always be pushed to the waterway center side from the both sides of the left-right direction, and the door body 7 of this gate main body 4 can be hold | maintained in the center of a span.

  Further, the thickness dimension a of the thrust ring 28 is set in consideration of the actual position of the front end surface of each support shaft 3 fixed to the housing side and the expansion and contraction accompanying the temperature change of the door body 7. Therefore, even if the door body 7 expands and contracts in the width direction as the temperature changes, the elastic force of the disc spring 22 can always be exerted, and the door body 7 is centered between the spans regardless of the temperature change. Can be held in.

  Therefore, the side seal part 17 of the type provided with the watertight rubber 18 attached to the both end edges of the curved surface 7a of the door body 7 as shown in FIG. In this case, it is possible to prevent the possibility that the watertight rubber 18 is over-bonded or insufficiently pressed.

  Furthermore, the thickness c of the liner 26 is set in consideration of the actual position of the front end surface of each of the support shafts 3 and the expansion and contraction associated with the temperature change of the door body 7. Even when elongation in the width direction accompanying temperature rise occurs, the possibility that the disc spring 22 is excessively compressed and damaged can be prevented.

  The disc spring 22, thrust ring 28, and liner 26 are all between the tip surfaces of the left and right support shafts 3 and the end plate 21 that closes the water channel center side end of the shaft hole 6 of the left and right support disks 5. Since it can arrange | position, the expansion of the left-right width dimension of the whole rotary gate can be prevented.

  In addition, this invention is not limited only to the said embodiment, You may change the shape of the said door body 7 arbitrarily. In this case, since the absolute value of the expansion / contraction amount in the width direction accompanying the temperature change of the door body 7 changes according to the width dimension of the door body 7, the deformation amount that can follow the expansion / contraction amount of the width dimension of the door body 7. What is necessary is just to employ | adopt suitably the disc spring 22 provided with.

  Further, as a spring member that exerts an elastic force between the front end surfaces of the left and right support shafts 3 and the end plate 21 that closes the water channel center side end of the shaft hole 6 of the left and right support disks 5, Although it is preferable to use the disc spring 22 from the surface which reduces the space which requires, if the elastic force which can be urged | biased to the water channel center side via the end plate 21 with respect to the said left and right support disk 5 is provided, a coil spring etc. A spring member other than the disc spring 22 may be used.

  The shaft holes 6 of the left and right support disks 5 in the gate body 4 including the door body 7 and the left and right support disks 5 are fitted to the support shafts 3 provided on the left and right support column members 2 of the water channel 1, and The present invention can be applied to any type of rotary gate such as a rotary gate employing the side seal portion 14 of the type shown in FIG. 6 as long as the gate body 4 is rotatably provided.
