Principle of Ronghu Double Ship Locks

The principle of Ronghu Double Ship Locks

The Ronghu Double Ship Locks are a ship lock system that adjusts the water level by adjusting the level difference to change the slope of the ship.

The specific principles are as follows:

1. System composition

Ronghu double ship lock consists of two parallel ship lock doors and a level difference control system. The level difference control system consists of a pool and a water channel. The pool is submerged into the shore, and the channel connects the two lock gates. There is an automatic valve between the pool and the channel.

2. Operation process

When passing through the Ronghu Double Ship Locks, the ship enters the first lock gate, the valve is closed, the water in the ship is removed, and then the ship enters the channel. The ship lock gate is closed. Before the second lock door closes, the water in the pool first flows into the canal, forming a water level difference that causes the second lock door to block the ship and prevent impact on the ship.

After the lock door is closed, the level difference begins to be controlled and the water in the pool is slowly discharged. When the level difference reaches the required height, the ship moves out from the second lock gate, levels and passes through the Ronghu Lake double locks smoothly.

3. Features

The characteristic of Ronghu Double Ship Lock is that it can adjust the water level at a larger height, saving the time and cost of moving water on the ship. It is simple to operate and suitable for large ships to pass through. . At the same time, by controlling the level difference, impact and collision on the ship can be avoided, improving safety performance.
