Abstract

The present invention relates to an automation apparatus for floating barrels for sluice pipes of flood protection walls of a water storage bridge, including a sluice pipe, a floating barrel, and assembly lids, in which the sluice pipe comprises a pipe body, a water outlet, and a water inlet. The pipe body is integrally formed into a hollow elongated pipe, and the water outlet and water inlet are provided to the outer peripheries of the pipe body. The floating barrel is provided inside the sluice pipe. The assembly lids are provided to the upper and lower ends of the sluice pipe for retaining the floating barrel inside the sluice pipe, respectively. When a flood raises such that the water storage level of the flood protection walls of the water storage bridge reaches the predetermined standard, water flows into the pipe body of the sluice pipe by means of a communication pipe and by utilizing the water buoyancy to cause the floating barrel inside the pipe body to ascend slowly, allowing the water outlet and the water inlet of the sluice pipe to form a passage, and then to discharge water and to regulate the water storage.
