Title:
AQUATIC ANIMAL INCURSION PREVENTIVE DEVICE INTO INTAKE CHANNEL
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH03247810
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To prevent the incursion of fishes into an intake channel by narrowing the bottom of the intake channel, widening the upper surface thereof to form an approximately U-shaped section, providing opposite electrodes to both sides thereof to apply voltage, weakening the upper surface of a barrier region, and strengthening the bottom thereof.

CONSTITUTION: An intake channel 1 has an approximate U-shaped section, the bottom 2 thereof is narrowed, and the upper surface 3 is widened to make upper part-to-upper part distance X1 longer than lower part-to-lower part distance X2. Aquatic animal incursion preventive devices are provided to both sides 6 and 6 of the intake channel 1, opposed electrodes 5 and 5 are placed in the vertical direction, DC power supply 7 is provided, one end is connected to the electrode 5 on a left side 6, and the other end is connected to the opposed electrode 5. After that, voltage is applied to both electrodes 5, the barrier strength of the intake channel 1 is weakened in the water surface side and is strengthened as it goes to the water seat side. According to the constitution, fishes swimming in the sea bottom 5 avoid it to move to the water surface 3 side, and the incursion of the fishes into the intake channel 1 can be prevented.
