Shield dam|Tianjin Rubber Industry Research Institute Co., Ltd.

The shield dam represents a modern solution that integrates the benefits of traditional steel gates with those of rubber dams. It consists of a shield plate, a buried component, an air dam, and an advanced pneumatic system. The shield plate, made of reinforced steel, provides durability, while the air dam supports it from below, controlling the position of the shield plate and the water it holds. This design allows for precise adjustments to the angle of the shield plate. When fully opened, the shield plate rests in the river, ensuring that navigation and scenic views remain undisturbed. Conversely, when closed, it can create an array of artistic overflow designs.

1. Simplicity and Ease of Installation: The shield dam boasts a straightforward structure, allowing for quick installation without the need for heavy construction equipment. This modular design conserves manpower, material resources, and financial investments, resulting in a shorter construction period.
2. High Security: The robust steel shield plate provides excellent protection for the rubber dam bags, which can absorb impacts from large floating debris without any risk of failure.
3. Ecological Aesthetic: The overflow from the dam creates a visually appealing waterfall effect, enhancing the landscape.
4. Low Operating Costs: The dam's operations are efficient, with minimal risk of mechanical failure and no requirement for regular maintenance.
5. Effective Sludge Management: During a dam collapse, the shield adheres securely to the base plate, allowing effective sludge discharge with water resistance heights of less than 9 cm.
6. Robust Seismic Resistance: The design incorporates a soft connection between the shield plate and its foundation, preventing system failures and maintaining operational capabilities during seismic activities.
7. Diverse Applications: This dam type is adaptable to various hydrological conditions, making it suitable for urban beautification projects. It can also be easily integrated into existing rubber dam transformations and automatic dam configurations.
