Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of building engineering technology, and in particular to a gabion. Background Technology

[0002] Slope protection refers to the various paving and plantings done on the slope surface to prevent erosion. In the river section where the bridge site is located, the concave bank of the river is eroded by the water flow year by year, which will cause the riverbank to collapse continuously. In order to protect the safety of the bridge and the embankment, protective structures must be built on the concave bank. In addition, when the construction of the bridge causes changes in the direction of the river flow, eroding the riverbank and endangering farmland and villages, protective structures must also be built on the riverbank.

[0003] Gabion retaining walls are used in the construction of slope protection. Gabions, also known as Reno Mattresses, are a structural system used to protect and reinforce civil engineering projects such as embankments, slopes, bridges, and roads. They are formed by filling cubic mesh cages with appropriate filling materials to create stone cages or stone mats that provide overall protection for the riverbank.

[0004] Traditional gabion cages are generally made of flexible wire mesh. During the filling process, the bottom of the gabion cage will deform or sink due to the gravity of the filling material, resulting in poor overall stability of the gabion cage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a gabion with higher stability.

[0006] The gabion cage provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A gabion cage includes a cage frame, a cover plate, a support frame, and several outer protective mesh plates. The cage frame is fixedly connected to the support frame. Several outer protective mesh plates are arranged around the outer perimeter sidewalls of the cage frame. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the top of the cage frame. Several support plates are provided on the support frame, and each support plate is connected to the support frame. The support plates and the outer protective mesh plates are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the support plates can abut against each other in sequence to form an irregular support surface.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when filling gabion cages, adjacent support plates abut against each other. Under the action of several support plates, a stable triangular support surface is formed at the bottom of the gabion cage, which can better disperse the weight of the filling material and has better seismic resistance and anti-tipping ability, thereby improving the overall stability. While improving the overall stability, the formation of the support surface also reduces the filling volume of the gabion cage, effectively reducing the amount of filling material used and reducing the cost of using gabion cages.

[0009] Optionally, the support plate is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame.

[0010] When recycling gabion cages, it is necessary to open the cover to remove the filler inside the gabion cage, which is a troublesome operation and takes a lot of time. By adopting the above technical solution, after a certain amount of filler is removed, the gabion cage can be lifted to a certain height and the support plate can be flipped. At this time, the filler can slide out from the bottom of the gabion cage, which helps to improve the efficiency of gabion cage recycling.

[0011] Optionally, the top of the cage frame is covered with a fixing frame, the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the cage frame, and the cover plate is rotatably connected to the fixing frame.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixing frame can effectively support the cage skeleton when filling the gabion, reducing the damage to the cage skeleton caused by the filling material during the filling process, enhancing the overall strength of the gabion, and improving the stability of the gabion.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom wall of the fixed frame is provided with a plurality of guide plates, the guide plates are rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and the guide plates are connected to the support plate.

[0014] During filling, some of the filler material splashes outside the gabion cage, affecting filling efficiency and increasing subsequent recycling costs. By adopting the above technical solution, the guide plate can better guide the filler material during filling, reducing the possibility of filler material splashing outside the gabion cage and improving filling efficiency.

[0015] Optionally, a connecting rod is provided between the guide plate and the support plate, one end of the connecting rod being rotatably connected to the support plate, and the other end of the connecting rod being rotatably connected to the guide plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the gabion is filled, the support plate is rotated so that the bottom end of the gabion forms a support surface. Driven by the support plate, the guide plate also rotates to a suitable position to guide the filling material. While guiding the filling material, the guide plate and connecting rod can also bear part of the load transmitted from the support plate, effectively reducing the load on the support plate and helping to reduce the damage to the support plate caused by the filling material.

[0017] Optionally, a limiting component is provided on the fixed frame. The limiting component includes a limiting pin connected to the fixed frame and a limiting hole opened on the fixed frame, wherein the limiting pin matches the limiting hole.

[0018] When protecting river embankments, multiple gabion cages are often stacked together to form a protective surface. However, adjacent gabion cages are independent and cannot withstand the impact of water flow effectively. By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, adjacent gabion cages can be connected through limiting pins and limiting holes, allowing them to be interconnected. When water flow impacts the gabion cages, adjacent cages can transfer the load, which helps to enhance the gabion cages' ability to withstand water flow impact and improve their stability.

[0019] Optionally, the number of limiting pins and limiting holes is several, and the several limiting pins and several limiting holes are arranged sequentially at intervals.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple connection points are provided between adjacent gabion cages. When water flows and impacts the gabion cages, the gabion cages transfer the load to other adjacent gabion cages through multiple connection points, making the load distribution more uniform. This helps to enhance the gabion cages' ability to withstand impacts and improve their overall stability.

[0021] Optionally, a reinforcing plate is provided along the outer edge of the support plate, and the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0022] When adjacent support plates abut against each other in sequence, the outer edge of the support plate will be subjected to huge pressure, causing deformation and affecting the normal operation of the support plate. By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing plate can enhance the overall strength of the support plate, reduce the possibility of deformation of the support plate, and help improve the stability and service life of the reinforcing plate.

[0023] Optionally, the top of the fixed frame is provided with a plurality of ear plates, which are evenly distributed along the outer edge of the fixed frame.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, after the gabion is filled, the user can lift the gabion by passing the corresponding rope on the crane through the ear plate and move it to the river embankment that needs to be protected, which is beneficial for the transportation of gabion.

[0025] Optionally, the bottom end of the support frame is provided with a plurality of mounting slots, and the plurality of mounting slots are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of ear plates.

[0026] Since the vertical gabion cages are independent of each other, when the gabion cages are subjected to external impacts, their positions may shift or even slip, thus affecting the normal operation of the gabion cages. By adopting the above technical solution, when stacking gabion cages, the vertical gabion cages can be limited by embedding the ear plates into the installation grooves, so that the vertical gabion cages are stably connected, reducing the possibility of the gabion cages shifting or even slipping, which is conducive to improving the stability of the gabion cages.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. In this application, adjacent support plates abut against each other. Under the action of several support plates, the bottom of the gabion forms a stable triangular support surface, which can better disperse the weight of the filling material and has better seismic resistance and anti-tipping ability, thereby improving the overall stability. While improving the overall stability, the formation of the support surface also reduces the filling volume of the gabion, effectively reducing the amount of filling material used and reducing the cost of using the gabion.

[0029] 2. In this application, the support plate is rotatably connected to the support frame. When recycling gabion cages, after removing a certain amount of filler, the gabion cage can be lifted to a certain height and the support plate can be flipped. At this time, the filler can slide out from the bottom of the gabion cage, which helps to improve the efficiency of recycling gabion cages. When transporting gabion cages, the installation frame is removed from the cage frame, and the support plate is flipped so that the support plate abuts against the outer protective mesh plate. At this time, the bottom end of the gabion cage forms an installation opening. The gabion cages are stacked one after another along the vertical direction, which significantly reduces the transportation space occupied by the gabion cages and helps to reduce the transportation cost of transporting gabion cages.

[0030] 3. In this application, the guide plate is connected to the support plate. When the gabion needs to be filled, the support plate is rotated so that the bottom end of the gabion forms a support surface. Driven by the support plate, the guide plate also rotates to a suitable position to guide the filling material. While guiding the filling material, the guide plate and connecting rod can also bear part of the load transmitted from the support plate, effectively reducing the load on the support plate and helping to reduce the damage to the support plate caused by the filling material.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The top of the fixed frame 6 is provided with several ear plates 20 to facilitate the lifting and transportation of the gabion cages.

Figure 2 The bottom end of the support frame 3 is provided with a number of mounting slots 31. As a preferred embodiment of this application, there are 4 mounting slots 31 in this embodiment 1. The 4 mounting slots 31 are set one-to-one with the 4 ear plates 20 to limit the gabion stone cages connected in sequence in the vertical direction. The depth of the mounting slot 31 can be the same as the height of the ear plate 20 or greater than the height of the ear plate 20. Specifically, in this embodiment 1, the depth of the mounting slot 31 is the same as the height of the ear plate 20.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The cover plate 2 includes a mesh backboard 21 and a retaining plate 22. The mesh backboard 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 6, and the retaining plate 22 is fixedly connected at any position on the opposite side of the end where the mesh backboard 21 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 6. As a preferred embodiment of this application, in this embodiment 1, the retaining plate 22 is fixedly connected to the center of the opposite side of the end where the mesh backboard 21 is connected to the fixed frame 6. The fixed frame 6 is provided with a retaining groove 61 that matches the retaining plate 22 to improve the stability of the cover plate 2 in sealing the gabion.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A limiting component 7 is provided on the fixed frame 6. The limiting component 7 includes a limiting pin 71 fixedly connected to the fixed frame 6 and a limiting hole 72 opened on the fixed frame 6. The limiting pin 71 matches the limiting hole 72.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 The limiting pin 71 includes a limiting rod 711 and a plurality of barbed plates 712. In a preferred embodiment of this application, the number of barbed plates 712 in this embodiment 1 is four. The four limiting plates are arranged around the end of the limiting rod 711 away from the fixed frame 6. The limiting rod 711 has clearance grooves that match the barbed plates 712. Figure 5 The limiting hole 72 includes a first stepped hole 721 and a second stepped hole 722, which are connected. The diameter of the first stepped hole 721 is smaller than that of the second stepped hole 722 to limit the barb plate 712.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The support frame 3 is provided with several support plates 5, and the support plates 5 are rotatably connected to the support frame 3 through a rotating shaft. As a preferred embodiment of this application, the number of support plates 5 in this embodiment 1 is 4. The 4 support plates 5 are arranged one-to-one with the 4 outer protective mesh plates 4. The support plates 5 are in the shape of isosceles trapezoids so that adjacent support plates 5 can better abut against each other. The several support plates 5 abut against each other in sequence to form an irregular support surface, so that the gabion stone cage forms a stable triangular support surface in each direction perpendicular to the outer protective mesh plate 4 to disperse the gravity of the filling material.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 A reinforcing plate 10 is provided on the outer edge of the support plate 5 to improve the overall strength of the support plate 5. There are two reinforcing plates 10, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the support plate 5. The reinforcing plates 10 and the support plate 5 maintain a certain angle, which is between 120 and 150 degrees. In this embodiment 1, the angle between the reinforcing plate 10 and the support plate 5 is 120 degrees. Several reinforcing ribs 30 are fixedly connected between the support plate 5 and the reinforcing plate 10. The reinforcing ribs 30 are evenly distributed along the length of the reinforcing plate 10 to improve the load-bearing capacity of the support plate 5.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The bottom wall of the fixed frame 6 is surrounded by several guide plates 8, which are also arranged in an isosceles trapezoidal shape. The guide plates 8 are rotatably connected to the fixed frame 6 through a rotating shaft. The guide plates 8 are connected to the support plates 5. As a preferred embodiment of this application, the number of guide plates 8 in this embodiment 1 is 4, and the 4 guide plates 8 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the 4 support plates 5.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3A connecting rod 9 is provided between the guide plate 8 and the support plate 5. A hinge block 40 is fixedly connected to the center of the support plate 5. One end of the connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the support plate 5 through the hinge block 40, and the other end of the connecting rod 9 is slidably connected to the guide plate 8. Figure 7 The guide plate 8 has a groove 82, and a hinge block 40 is slidably connected in the groove 82. The connecting rod 9 is slidably connected to the guide plate 8 through the hinge block 40. Under the action of the connecting rod 9, the guide plate 8 can support the support plate 5, bear part of the load transmitted from the support plate 5, and reduce the load on the support plate 5.

[0052] The implementation principle of Embodiment 1 of this application is as follows: Open the cover plate 2, then flip the support plate 5. The adjacent support plates 5 abut against each other in sequence. During the rotation of the support plate 5, the support plate 5 pulls the guide plate 8 to rotate through the connecting rod 9 to guide the filling material and reduce the possibility of the filling material splashing outside the gabion cage. The support plates 5 abut against each other in sequence make the bottom end of the gabion cage form an irregular support surface, and a stable triangular support surface is formed along each direction of the vertical outer protective mesh plate 4. Under the action of the support plate 5, the filling material is further guided to the perimeter of the gabion cage, and the support plate 5 can also better disperse the gravity of the filling material to improve the stability of the gabion cage. When subjected to water flow impact, the adjacent support plates 5 can filter the impact in time, and have good seismic resistance.

[0053] Example 2:

[0054] Reference Figure 8 The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the outer protective mesh plate 4 can be made of solid iron plate or constructed of steel bars. As a preferred embodiment of this application, the outer protective mesh plate 4 in this embodiment 2 is constructed of steel bars. The outer protective mesh plate 4 includes a number of long axis steel bars 41 and a number of short axis steel bars 42. The number of short axis steel bars 42 are evenly distributed between adjacent long axis steel bars 41 and are fixedly connected to the adjacent long axis steel bars 41.

[0055] The implementation principle of Embodiment 2 of this application is as follows: by selecting the same material as the cage frame 1 to make the outer protective mesh plate 4, the stability of the connection between the cage frame 1 and the outer protective mesh plate 4 and the overall strength of the gabion stone cage are improved, so as to reduce the damage to the outer protective mesh plate 4 when the filling material collides with the outer protective mesh plate 4 and when the water flow impacts the outer protective mesh plate 4, thereby improving the stability of the gabion stone cage.

[0056] Example 3:

[0057] Reference Figure 9The difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2 is that the limiting component 7 further includes a limiting ring 73, which is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 6. The limiting ring 73 includes a connecting plate 731 and a connecting ring 732. The limiting ring 73 and the connecting ring 732 are fixedly connected. The number of limiting rings 73 is several. As a preferred embodiment of this application, the number of limiting rings 73 in Embodiment 3 is 12. The 12 limiting rings 73 are evenly distributed in groups of 3 on the outer periphery of the fixed frame 6. The limiting rings 73 located on opposite sides of the fixed frame 6 maintain a certain distance in the vertical direction. Specifically, the height difference of the limiting rings 73 on opposite sides in the vertical direction is equal to the height of the connecting ring 732.

[0058] The implementation principle of Embodiment 3 of this application is as follows: After the gabion is filled, the gabion is lifted to a suitable position by a crane, and adjacent gabions are connected in sequence. At this time, the limiting rings 73 on the adjacent gabions are coaxially arranged. By inserting the bolts into the connecting rings 732, the originally independent adjacent gabions are stably connected, which is conducive to fully transferring the load, improving the ability of the gabion to withstand the impact of water flow, and improving the stability of the gabion.

[0059] Example 4:

[0060] The difference between this embodiment 4 and embodiment 1 is that all four outer protective mesh plates 4 are tilted at a certain angle toward their corresponding support plates 5, and the shape of the cage frame 1 matches the outer protective mesh plates 4, so that the outer protective mesh plates 4 and the cage frame 1 are arranged in a frustum shape as a whole.

[0061] The implementation principle of Embodiment 4 of this application is as follows: When transporting gabion cages, the installation frame is removed from the cage skeleton 1, and the support plate 5 is flipped so that the support plate 5 abuts against the outer protective mesh plate 4. At this time, the bottom end of the gabion cage forms an installation opening. The gabion cages are then stacked together in sequence along the vertical direction, which significantly reduces the transportation space occupied by the gabion cages and helps to reduce the transportation cost of transporting gabion cages.

[0062] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
