Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of retaining wall drainage construction, in particular to a retaining wall drainage structure and a matching device. Background Art

[0002] As a common retaining structure, retaining wall is widely used in water conservancy, transportation, port and civil engineering construction. It can ensure the stability of backfill and slope soil behind the wall and effectively prevent the deformation and instability of soil. After each rainfall infiltration, the retaining wall is inevitably affected by the water and soil pressure behind the wall, so it is very important to do a good job of drainage behind the retaining wall.

[0003] The drainage behind the existing retaining wall is mainly achieved by setting a filter layer behind the wall and a drainage hole inside the wall. However, once the filter layer or the drainage hole is blocked, the drainage system of the retaining wall will suffer a huge impact. After the drainage hole fails, the water and soil pressure behind the wall will increase, which may easily cause the retaining wall to slip or overturn and thus affect the stability of the soil. In addition, the maintenance of the blocked filter layer and the drainage hole is usually quite troublesome, and the cost of subsequent maintenance investment is relatively high. Moreover, during the use of the traditional retaining wall drainage hole, it is easy to form stains on the front wall surface of the retaining wall, thereby affecting the appearance of the retaining wall and may even cause damage to the front wall surface of the retaining wall. In summary, there is still room for improvement in the existing retaining wall drainage technical measures. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, the retaining wall drainage structure and supporting device provided by the utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] The invention comprises a retaining wall 1 and a drainage pipe 2, wherein the drainage pipe is buried in the retaining wall; a detachable filter device 3 is arranged at the inlet of the drainage pipe, and a clay water-proof layer 4, crushed stone 5 and medium-coarse sand 6 are arranged at the rear side of the retaining wall; the clay water-proof layer is located in the area below the lowest water inlet of the drainage pipe, the crushed stone and medium-coarse sand are arranged above the clay water-proof layer, and the medium-coarse sand is located between the crushed stone and the retaining wall.

[0027] In this embodiment, by setting a filter device in the drain pipe, the fine materials carried out by the water behind the retaining wall can be effectively filtered, and the fine materials carried by the rainwater can be prevented from clogging the drain pipe. Secondly, medium-coarse sand and gravel are arranged in sequence behind the water inlet of the drain pipe, which can effectively filter the rainwater behind the retaining wall, filter the rainwater preliminarily, effectively prevent the loss of fine materials in the rear soil body, and effectively ensure the bearing capacity of the soil layer behind the wall. Then, a clay waterproof layer is arranged in the area below the lowest water inlet of the drain pipe to achieve the convergence of rainwater behind the retaining wall, which is helpful for the discharge of water in the soil body. Finally, since the filter device has a detachable function, the filter device can be replaced by excavating the medium-coarse sand and gravel, thereby effectively avoiding the weakening of the drainage effect of the drain pipe due to blockage; and the detachable setting of the medium-coarse sand and gravel + filter device is more convenient for dredging and maintaining the drain pipe than the prior art, which can significantly reduce the later maintenance cost of the retaining wall drainage system.

After the inner drainage pipe and the drainage pipe are connected, the handle is clamped at the water inlet of the drainage pipe, which strengthens the firmness of the reverse filtration device and facilitates installation and disassembly. The mesh size of the first permeable net is smaller than the minimum particle size of the corresponding filler.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first permeable net inside the inner drainage pipe supports the bottom of the aggregate container to prevent the aggregate container from sliding from the inner drainage pipe to the deep part of the drainage pipe.

[0035] A cleaning brush 3-43 is also provided between the detachable permeable net and the permeable geotextile. The bristles of the cleaning brush swing with the flow rate of rainwater to complete the preliminary cleaning of the permeable geotextile, thereby extending the service life of the anti-filtration device.

[0040] Preferably, several drainage pipes are arranged at equal intervals in the length direction of the retaining wall; in the same drainage pipe, the water inlet pipes are arranged at equal intervals vertically, with an interval range of 1.5m to 3m; the slope of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe ranges from 3% to 7%. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the horizontal interval range of the drainage pipes is 3m, the vertical interval range of the water inlet pipes is 2m, the diameter of the water inlet pipe and the vertical water pipe is 120mm, the diameter of the water outlet pipe is 180mm, and the slope of the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe is 5%.

[0041] In Example 1, the upper surface of the clay waterproof layer is in contact with the lower surface of the lowest water inlet pipe, and the compacted thickness of the clay waterproof layer is not less than 300 mm.

[0042] Principle of the utility model:

[0043] First, the drainage pipe needs to be pre-buried in the drainage hole of the retaining wall; the aggregates of corresponding particle size are loaded into the corresponding aggregate containers, and then the aggregate containers are sequentially connected and placed in the drainage inner pipe; after the construction of the retaining wall is completed, the drainage inner pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe through threads and fixed to form a reverse filtration device.

[0045] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of patent application of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
