Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geocell technology, and in particular to a water storage geocell. Background Technology

[0002] In existing civil engineering and ecological environment construction, geocells are widely used as an effective soil and water conservation measure in areas such as slope stabilization, vegetation restoration, and ecological slope protection. Traditional geocells mainly consist of cell panels and nodes connecting these cell panels. Their main function is to fix and support the soil through the cell structure, prevent soil erosion, and provide a stable root development space for plant growth.

[0003] However, in arid regions with little rainfall, limited precipitation makes it difficult to maintain soil moisture, posing a severe challenge to vegetation growth on slopes. While traditional geocells can reduce water loss to some extent, their water storage and retention capacity is limited and insufficient to meet the needs of sustained vegetation growth in arid areas. Without effective water replenishment, slope vegetation often withers due to water shortage, leading to decreased slope stability and significantly diminished ecological slope protection effects.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a geocell that can enhance water storage and retention capacity, so as to provide continuous water supply to slope vegetation in the case of limited rainfall or other water sources, improve the drought resistance of the slope, and ensure the stable growth of vegetation and the ecological security of the slope. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water storage cell to solve the technical problem that traditional geocells have insufficient water storage and retention capacity, making it difficult to meet the needs of continuous vegetation growth in arid regions.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a water storage compartment is provided, the water storage compartment includes compartment plates and nodes connecting the compartment plates, the water storage compartment also includes a water storage tank, the water storage tank being disposed on the compartment plates.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a water storage grid, including a grid panel 1 and a node 2 connecting the grid panel 1. The water storage grid also includes a water storage tank 3, which is disposed on the grid panel 1. This invention, by setting the water storage tank 3 on the grid panel 1, utilizes the water storage function of the water storage tank 3 to store rainfall or other sources of water, thereby continuously maintaining soil moisture, providing a continuous water source for vegetation on the slope, improving the drought resistance of the slope, and is particularly suitable for arid areas with little rainfall.

[0028] The connection method of node 2 to cell 1 includes, but is not limited to, any one or a combination of welding, riveting or mechanical locking. Its specific structure can be changed at will according to actual use requirements, and there are no restrictions here.

[0029] In one embodiment, the water storage tank 3 is filled with grass seeds, nutrients, or water-retaining substances. The grass seeds promote rapid ecological restoration of the slope, the nutrients, such as fertilizer, provide the necessary nutrients for vegetation growth, and the water-retaining substances are highly absorbent porous materials to further improve the water retention performance of the water storage tank 3.

[0030] In one embodiment, the opening of the water storage tank 3 is covered with a permeable section 4. The permeable section 4 effectively prevents external sand and soil from encroaching on the internal space of the water storage tank 3, thus avoiding a decrease in the water storage performance of the water storage tank 3 due to the occupation of the internal space by sand and soil. At the same time, water can permeate normally through the permeable section 4, ensuring that the water storage tank 3 can normally store and supply water, maintaining the long-term stable use of the water storage compartment.

[0031] Specifically, the permeable part 4 can be made of materials such as netting or permeable fabric. Netting or permeable fabric has good permeability and barrier properties, allowing water to pass freely while effectively blocking impurities such as sand and soil.

[0032] In one embodiment, the opening of the water storage tank 3 is connected to the grid plate 1. A through hole is provided on the grid plate 1 at the connection point with the water storage tank 3, and the shape and size of the through hole are consistent with the opening of the water storage tank 3. The volume of the water storage tank 3 gradually decreases from the opening to the bottom. This design allows the grid plates 1 and the water storage tanks 3 on them to be stacked. When stacking, the water storage tank 3 on one grid plate 1 is inserted into the water storage tank 3 on another grid plate 1, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the arrangement resembles stacked rice bowls. This significantly reduces the space occupied by the water storage tank 3 during transportation, facilitating the transport and stacking of the water storage compartments.

[0033] In one embodiment, the water storage tank 3 and the geocell plate 1 are integrated into a single structure. This integrated structure simplifies the construction and installation process of the geocell, eliminating the need to assemble the water storage tank 3 and geocell plate 1 separately during construction, thus improving construction efficiency. Simultaneously, the integrated structure provides better connection strength, enhancing the stability and durability of the geocell. Specifically, the water storage tank 3 can be machined onto the geocell plate 1 using integrated stamping technology.

[0034] In addition to the integrated structure, the water storage tank 3 and the cell plate 1 can also adopt a separate structure, with the water storage tank 3 fixed to the cell plate 1 by means such as welding or riveting.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
