The main function of the channel gate groove is to support the gate, making the opening and closing movement of the channel gate flexible and convenient, facilitating water stop, and transmitting the water pressure borne by the gate to the gate pier. For this purpose, the following components must be buried on the gate slot: tracks supporting the gate leaf structure (tracks for the main wheel, side wheel, and reverse wheel:); Install flat steel sections on the bottom sill where the gate is located and at the corresponding locations of the water stop rubber; Install reinforced angle steel to protect concrete at the edges of door slots and openings.

There are many types of gate opening and closing machinery, and for small cast iron copper inlaid round gates, screw type opening and closing machines are commonly used; For large and medium-sized doors, various types of hoisting or hydraulic opening and closing machines are commonly used. The choice of hoist is mainly determined by factors such as gate size and head size, importance of the project, and operating conditions.

Channel gates also require debugging and maintenance.

Channel gate debugging:

1. Rotate the handwheel to check if the door slides smoothly up and down in the frame, and if the wedge is in place.

2. Try draining the water to see if the water stop effect of the gate is good. If there is any leakage, identify the cause and re adjust until there is no leakage.

Use and maintenance of channel gates

1. Regularly (once a year or six months) maintain the equipment and lubricate the screw and handwheel nuts.

2. Regularly (once a year or six months) conduct a comprehensive inspection of the equipment, especially the rubber sealing part, to see if there is any damage. If there is, repair should be carried out until it is restored.
