Description

[0001] Floodgate opening and shutting apparatus for salt field [

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a salt water gate opening / closing apparatus, and more particularly, to a salt water gate opening / closing apparatus configured to open and close a passage formed at a bank between a salt battery and a water channel by radio control.

The tidal flats are largely composed of reservoirs, evaporation fields, and deciduous lands, and salt exits and roads are laid. As described above, the reservoir is a place where seawater is trapped, the evaporator is a place where water is evaporated by sunlight and wind, and the crystal is concentrated by diluting the saturation function concentrated in the evaporation paper and crystallizing the salt, It says.

In Figure 1, a plain salt is shown in plan view. As shown in FIG. 1, the above-mentioned salt trough is constituted by partitioning a salt battery 1 such as a reservoir by a plurality of banks 3.

A water channel (W) for the movement of the brine is formed between the banks (3). A passage 5 for the movement of salt water is formed in the bank 3 between the water channel W and the salt battery 1.

An opening / closing member (8) is provided in the passage (5). The opening and closing member 8 selectively opens and closes the passage 5. [ The opening and closing member 8 is generally a sheet of a watertight material such as a tent, and is installed to selectively block the inlet of the passage 5. [

However, in the case where the opening and closing member 8 is formed of a sheet like a tent as described above, a worker searches for each passage 5 to open and close the passage 5, There is a problem that the operation is cumbersome.

In order to solve such a problem, a salinity measuring sensor for measuring the salinity of a salt battery and an automation system using a solar cell are being developed. However, since the solar collector needs to be installed in order to utilize the solar heat, , It is installed at a place in contact with salt water, so that the device may be corroded and the risk of electric accident is high, which is also a problem in automation.

In addition, since the torsion is not standardized, it is difficult to construct an automated facility because the standard is different even in the same torsion.

Therefore, it is required to open and close the passageway by radio control to increase the efficiency of the operation, and at the same time to be able to apply immediately to the currently operating torsion.

3, a control unit 70 is installed in the installation space 32 of the upper case 30. As shown in FIG. The control unit 70 receives a signal from the operation unit 80 and controls the operation of the power transmitting member 40.

The controller 70 is electrically connected to a receiver (not shown). The receiving unit transmits the signal received from the operating unit 80 to the controller 70, which will be described below.

On the other hand, the salt-only water gate opening / closing apparatus 1 is operated by the operation unit 80. The operation unit 80 transmits a signal for opening and closing the water level plate 20 to the wireless controller 80A toward the receiving unit connected to the control unit 70, So that it is possible to arbitrarily adjust the temperature. The use of the wireless controller 80A allows the operator to control the salt water gate opening / closing apparatus 1 remotely even if the operator does not directly enter the salt tank, thereby improving workability.

In this embodiment, the operation unit 80 is the wireless controller 80A, but it is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, the operation unit may be a switch 80B provided on the outer surface of the upper case 30. [ The switch 80B serves to control the operation of the water level plate 20 and the like.

First, the operator installs the salt water gate opening / closing apparatus 1 in a passage formed at the bank between the salt battery and the water channel, and operates the power source unit 82 to operate the salt water gate opening / closing apparatus 1. Since the rechargeable battery B is built in the salt water gate opening / closing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the salt water gate opening / closing apparatus 1 is simply installed in the existing passage without the necessity of connecting a separate power source So it can be applied immediately to the currently operating torsion.

In such a state, when the brine is to be supplied to the salt battery, the operator operates the wireless controller 80A to open the water gate plate 20. 5A, the water level plate 20 is moved toward the bottom surface of the brine passage space 12 of the lower case 10, and at the same time, (EN) of the brine passage (12) and escapes toward the outlet (EX) of the brine passage space (12) to be supplied to the salt battery.

In this case, the brine passage space 12 is shielded by the hydrological plate 20, so that the brine can not escape from the brine passage space 12, and the supply of the brine to the brine is stopped.

As described above, by using the wireless controller 80A, the worker can control the salt-only water gate opening / closing device 1 wirelessly without entering the salt tank directly, thereby improving workability.
