Abstract

A hydraulic ship lift, including: a mechanical synchronizing system; a stabilizing and equalizing hydraulic driving system; and a self-feedback stabilizing system. The stabilizing and equalizing hydraulic driving system includes first resistance equalizing members arranged at corners of branch water pipes or/and second resistance equalizing members arranged at bifurcated pipes, circular forced ventilating mechanisms arranged at front of water delivery valves of a water delivery main pipe, and pressure-stabilizing and vibration-reducing boxes arranged behind the water delivery valves. The self-feedback stabilizing system includes a plurality of guide wheels; each guide wheel of the self-feedback stabilizing system is fixed on a ship reception chamber through a supporting mechanism. The supporting mechanism includes a base connected to the ship reception chamber, a support articulated on the base, a flexible member fixedly arranged between the support and the base, and a limiting stopper arranged on the outer side of the flexible member.
