부체수문을 이용한 자동 수로개폐장치{The Automatic water-flow control system using a floating water-gate}The automatic water-flow control system using a floating water gate

본 고안은 논 수위에 따라 급수관으로 흐르는 물을 차단하거나 흐르게하는 수로개폐장치에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 용수로의 물이 논에 유입되는 급수관에 설치하여 논 수위에 따라 장치내부의 부체수문이 작동하여 자동적으로 물유입을 통제하는 자동수로개폐장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a channel opening and closing device for blocking or allowing the water flowing to the water supply pipe according to the paddy field level. More specifically, the subsurface gate inside the device is operated in accordance with the paddy field level by installing the water supply pipe into the paddy field. The present invention relates to an automatic channel opening and closing device for automatically controlling water inflow.

일반적으로 논 관개를 위하여 용수로 둑에 급수관을 묻어 그 입구를 나무마개등으로 빼내거나 막는 방법으로 용수를 공급하거나 차단하여 논 수위를 조절하고 있다. 이와같은 방법은 폭우시나 용수공급시 논에 적정수위가 유지될 때 급수관 입구를 막기 위하여 급수관 설치지점까지 가야하는 번거로움과 제때에 급수관입구를 막지 못할 경우 폭우시 논 수위가 상승하여 논둑의 낮은 부분으로 물이 넘쳐 논비탈이 붕괴되거나 용수를 낭비하는 문제점이 야기되었다.In general, for irrigation of paddy fields, the water level is controlled by burying water pipes on the banks of the waterway and supplying or blocking water by removing or blocking the inlet with a wooden stopper. This method is difficult in the case of heavy rain or water supply when the water level is maintained in the paddy field. As a result, the overflow of the rice paddy collapses or wastes water.

본 고안은 상기에 기술한 제문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 논 관개를 위하여 용수로에 설치된 급수관을 종래에 인위적으로 개폐하던 방식에서 자동적으로 개폐하는 방식으로 개선하기 위한 부체수문을 이용한 자동수로 개폐장치를 제공하는 데 있다.The present invention was devised to solve the problems described above, and the automatic waterway using the floating gate to improve the water supply pipe installed in the waterway for paddy irrigation to automatically open and close in the manner of artificially opening and closing conventionally To provide a switchgear.

상기와 같이 구성된 본 고안에 의한 자동수로개폐장치의 작동은 다음과 같이 이루어진다.Operation of the automatic channel opening and closing device according to the present invention configured as described above is made as follows.

첨부된 도면의 도 6a에서 나타나는 바와 같이, 용수로의 물이 수조의 스크린을 통과하여 수조에 물이 채워지기 시작하면 급수관과 맞닿아있는 부체수문이 부력에 의하여 회전하면서 뜨게되어 물은 급수관으로 유입, 논으로 방류된다. 이때 유입된 물의 일부는 부체수문의 물유입구멍으로 유입되어 부체수문 내부에 잔류하게 되나, 부체수문중량 조절장치의 플로팅밸브가 열려있는 한 물배출 호스를 통하여 논으로 유출되어 부체수문 내부에 물은 채워지지 않는다.보다 상세한 설명을 위하여 첨부된 도면의 도 6b에서 나타나는 바와 같이, 논 수위가 상승하여 지정한 수위에 이르면 부체수문중량 조절장치의 플로팅 밸브가 작동하여 물배출호스의 출구를 차단하여 부체수문 내부에서 유출되던 물이 차단된다. 이에따라 부체수문에 물이 채워져 부체수문의 중량이 증가하게되고 부체수문의 중량이 부력을 초과하는 순간 가라앉아 부체수문 밑면에 장치된 고무판이 급수관입구를 막으므로 용수로에서 논으로의 물 유입이 중단된다.지정된 만수위에서 논수위가 하강하면 부체수문중량 조절장치의 플로팅밸브에 의하여 물배출호스가 열리게 되어 부체수문 내부의 물이 빠져나가 부체수문중량이 감소한다. 이에따라 부체수문은 급수관입구에 맞닿어있는 회전축을 중심으로 뜨게되어 용수로에서 논으로 물유입이 지정된 논 수위면에 도달할때까지 지속된다.위와 같은 일련의 작동으로 논 수위면이 항상 지정된 수위를 유지할 수 있도록수로의 개폐가 자동적으로 조절된다.As shown in FIG. 6A of the accompanying drawings, when the water in the water channel passes through the screen of the water tank and the water in the water tank begins to fill, the floating water gate contacted with the water supply pipe floats while being rotated by the buoyancy and the water flows into the water supply pipe. Discharged into rice fields At this time, a part of the water introduced flows into the water inlet hole of the floating gate and remains inside the floating gate, but as long as the floating valve of the floating gate is adjusted, it flows out into the rice paddy through the water discharge hose and the water inside the floating gate As shown in FIG. 6B of the accompanying drawings for a more detailed description, when the paddy water level rises and reaches a specified level, the floating valve of the floating hydrostatic weight adjusting device is operated to block the outlet of the water discharge hose so as to block the floating water gate. Water leaking from inside is blocked. As a result, the floating gate is filled with water, which increases the weight of the floating gate, and when the weight of the floating gate exceeds the buoyancy, the water sinks and the rubber plate installed at the bottom of the floating gate blocks the water inlet, which stops the flow of water from the flume into the paddy field. When the paddy water level drops from the specified full water level, the water discharge hose is opened by the floating valve of the floating hydrostatic weight control device, and the water inside the floating water gate escapes, and the floating hydrologic weight decreases. As a result, the float gate floats around the axis of rotation that is in contact with the water inlet and continues until water inflow from the flume reaches the designated rice paddy level. The opening and closing of the channel is automatically adjusted.

이상에서와 같이, 본 고안의 부체수문을 이용한 자동수로개폐장치는 용수로에 물이 흐르면 항상 일정한 논수위를 유지할 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 강우시에 용수로의 물이 논으로 유입되는 수로를 차단하기 위하여 논에 나가는 번거러움을 해소하여 물관리에 들이는 시간 및 노동력을 줄일 수 있고, 또한 부족한 용수절약을 기할 것으로 기대한다.As described above, the automatic channel opening and closing device using the floating hydrology of the present invention can not only maintain a constant paddy water level when water flows into the waterway, but also to block the waterway into which water from the waterway flows into the paddy field during rainfall. It is expected to reduce the time and labor required for water management by eliminating the hassle of going to Korea, and also to save water.
