A horizontal upward-turning type movable
flood control system comprises movable gates, hinge devices, locking devices, posts,
water stop devices, a baffling wall, legs and fences. The posts are arranged on the upper portion of the baffling wall at the certain intervals along the
shore line, and the water side of the baffling wall below the posts is provided with the legs correspondingly; the hinge devices are arranged at the connections of the legs and baffling wall and are hinged to one ends of the movable gates; the
water stop devices are arranged on the side of holes of the gates between the adjacent posts and the water side of the top of the baffling wall to form groove-shaped
water stop rings; the locking devices are arranged on the water sides of the tops of the posts; normally, the movable gates lay on two adjacent legs through the hinge devices and serve as a
pedestrian passage and a water platform; when the
system is in the flood resisting state, the movable gates are closed by turning upwardly through a special opening vehicle or other
mechanical equipment or manually before the flood coming and are locked with the locking devices, and sealed water stop rings are formed by pressing the bottom and two sides of the water stop devices and movable gates tightly.
