Abstract

A waterproof gate includes a door frame, two side rails mounted on two opposite sides of the door frame, a waterproof door movably mounted between the two side rails, at least one sealing gasket mounted on the waterproof door, and at least one waterproof strip mounted between the waterproof door and the door frame. Thus, when the water level exceeds a preset value, the waterproof door is moved down to press the ground tightly so that the waterproof door blocks the door frame so as to provide a waterproof effect to the door frame.

Claims (29)

1. A waterproof gate, comprising:

a door frame;

two side rails mounted on two opposite sides of the door frame;

a door mounted between the two side rails;

at least one sealing gasket mounted on the door; and

at least one strip mounted between the door and the door frame;

a casing mounted on an upper end of the door frame;

a pressing bar movable to abut an upper end of the door so as to press the door downward;

a first hydraulic cylinder unit pivotally connected with the pressing bar to move the pressing bar relative to the door;

a pressing plate movable to abut the door so as to press the door toward the strip and to press the strip toward the door frame so that the door frame, the strip, and the door are combined;

a drive lever pivotally connected with the pressing plate to move the pressing plate relative to the door;

a push lever pivotally connected with the drive lever to move the drive lever; and

a second hydraulic cylinder unit pivotally connected with the push lever to move the push lever;

wherein the pressing plate is movably mounted in one of the two side rails and is connected with the push lever and the drive lever;

the drive lever is pivotally mounted in the one of the two side rails and has a first end pivotally connected with the one of the two side rails and a second end pivotally connected with the push lever;

the push lever is pivotally mounted in the one of the two side rails and has a lower end pivotally connected with the second end of the drive lever and an upper end pivotally connected with the second hydraulic cylinder unit; and

the second hydraulic cylinder unit is pivotally mounted in the one of the two side rails and has a lower end pivotally connected with the upper end of the push lever and an upper end pivotally connected with the one of the two side rails.

2. The waterproof gate of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof gate further comprises:

a controller mounted in the casing and electrically connected with the door to control upward and downward movement of the door;

a drive motor mounted in the casing to drive the controller;

a hydraulic pump mounted in the casing and connected with the first hydraulic cylinder unit and the second hydraulic cylinder unit to supply hydraulic oil to the first hydraulic cylinder unit and the second hydraulic cylinder unit; and

an uninterrupted power system mounted in the casing to supply an electric power when electricity fail occurs.

3. The waterproof gate of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof gate further comprises:

an infrared safety detector mounted on a lower end of one of the two side rails.

4. The waterproof gate of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof gate further comprises a water level detector disposed at a location flush with a bottom of each of the two side rails.

5. The waterproof gate of claim 1 , wherein

the pressing bar is pivotally mounted in the casing and has a first end pivotally connected with the casing and a second end that is pivotally connected with the first hydraulic cylinder unit and is movable to abut the upper end of the door; and

the first hydraulic cylinder unit is pivotally mounted in the casing and has an upper end pivotally connected with the casing and a lower end pivotally connected with the second end of the pressing bar.

6. The waterproof gate of claim 1 , wherein the door is disposed between the pressing plate and the strip.
