The weir gate features a simple structure, excellent water stop properties, a wide range of adjustment, and easy maintenance and management. The equipment is composed of components such as the gate frame, gate plate, guide rail, sealing strip, and adjustable sealing mechanism. It boasts a simple structure, good sealing, strong wear resistance, easy operation, convenient installation, long service life, a complete range of products, and wide adaptability. It is used to cut off and unblock water flow or regulate water levels. It can be combined with manual, electric, or hydraulic actuators for operation, allowing for on-site or remote centralized control. It can also be linked with microcomputer control for adjustable weir gate structure.
Structure and Working Principle:
The hydraulic down-opening weir gate system primarily consists of weir gates, hydraulic systems, ultrasonic liquid level gauges, and control systems. For ease of maintenance in the future, a maintenance groove is usually provided in front and behind the weir gates.
The gate is driven and controlled by an opening and closing hydraulic cylinder, which can be equipped with an automatic control system. The liquid-driven gate can be operated automatically without human presence. Water from the upstream flows over the top of the gate. The gate can be raised or lowered as needed and can stop at any position to control the flow rate of water distribution or adjust the upstream water level. It can perform various functions such as flushing, water level control, and flow control.
The ultrasonic level sensor converts water levels on both sides of the weir gate into electrical signals for the control system. The control system drives hydraulic cylinders on both sides of the weir gate to slide the weir plate up and down in the guide slot. Rubber sealing components are installed on both sides and the bottom of the guide slot for sealing purposes (can be three-sided or four-sided sealing). The hydraulic cylinders are equipped with displacement sensors, allowing precise control of the weir plate to stop at any position. In the event of a power outage, the system can control upstream water levels, flushing, and anti-backflow functions.
