Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of river bank and embankment ecological protection, in particular to a fish nest brick ecological bank protection structure with a connecting channel. Background Art

[0002] Ecological protection of bank slopes is a method of slope protection and ecological restoration that uses green plants or a combination of engineering and green plants. Compared with traditional engineering bank protection, ecological bank protection can not only prevent soil erosion on the slope through vegetation, but also resist the hydraulic scour of the river. It constructs a small ecosystem on the slope and nearshore waters, providing a place for vegetation and aquatic animals to live and forage.

[0003] Existing ecological revetment technologies, such as ecological concrete revetment and gabion stone cage revetment, mainly use concrete and stone cages to improve the slope's anti-scouring ability, while planting green plants on the surface. However, this type of ecological revetment structure does not consider the ecological friendliness of aquatic fish.

[0004] Currently, hollow fish nest bricks with internal cells are laid on riverbanks to provide fish with habitats. However, existing fish nest bricks often form independent spaces, confining fish to individual bricks. Furthermore, it is difficult to plant plants after laying these bricks. Furthermore, for dikes, existing fish nest brick revetments cannot prevent crayfish and other dike-damaging animals from burrowing into the dike surface, creating a dangerous situation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of existing fish nest brick revetment structures, the present invention provides a fish nest brick ecological revetment structure with a connecting channel. The structure is composed of fish nest bricks, a vegetation system and a slope protection layer. It can not only ensure the anti-scouring ability of the slope, but also build a nearshore ecosystem where plants, fish and even birds coexist, while isolating the embankment from damage by dike-damaging animals. It is easy to assemble and replace, fast to construct, simple in process, and has significant economic and environmental benefits.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fish nest brick ecological revetment structure with a connecting passage comprises: fish nest bricks, a vegetation system and a slope protection layer. The slope protection layer is arranged on the surface of the slope soil layer. The fish nest bricks are placed on the slope protection layer, including H-shaped fish nest bricks and convex fish nest bricks. The H-shaped fish nest bricks are staggered and horizontally aligned. The convex fish nest bricks and the H-shaped fish nest bricks are arranged in a convex-concave splicing pattern. The H-shaped fish nest bricks have an H-shaped hollow space in the middle, and the upper and lower surfaces are provided with a main channel connected to the H-shaped hollow space. The outer walls on the left and right sides are provided with There is a secondary channel connected to the hollow space, and the inner walls of the left upper arm and the right lower arm are provided with branch channels connected to the hollow space; a convex hollow space is provided inside the convex fish nest brick, and a side channel connected to the convex hollow space is provided on the right side wall of the convex part; the secondary channels of the left and right adjacent H-shaped fish nest bricks are aligned and connected left and right, the branch channels of the upper and lower adjacent H-shaped fish nest bricks are aligned and connected up and down, and the branch channels of the H-shaped fish nest bricks at the top and bottom of the bank protection structure are aligned and connected with the side channels of the convex fish nest bricks.

[0008] Furthermore, the H-shaped fish nest brick and the convex-shaped fish nest brick are prefabricated components, which are obtained by making corresponding molds and pouring hydraulic materials, and are made of concrete and cement mortar.

[0009] Furthermore, the main channel is a square hole, which is a channel for fish to enter the fish nest bricks and is also a growth channel for the vegetation system.

[0010] Furthermore, the secondary channel and the branch channel are elliptical.

[0011] Furthermore, the right upper arm and the left lower arm of the H-shaped fish nest brick have no holes, and serve as independent compartments to provide a spawning habitat for fish.

[0012] Furthermore, the H-shaped fish nest brick is in an "H" shape as a whole, and the convex fish nest brick is in a "convex" shape as a whole. The H-shaped fish nest brick is located in the middle of the entire ecological revetment structure, and the convex fish nest brick is located at the bottom and top of the entire ecological revetment structure. The protruding part is spliced ​​with the concave part of the H-shaped fish nest brick 4.

[0013] Furthermore, the side channel of the convex fish nest brick is elliptical, and the size of the side channel is consistent with the size of the branch channel of the H-shaped fish nest brick.

[0014] Furthermore, the slope protection layer is a permeable geotextile with a grid, which is used to prevent dike-damaging animals from digging holes inside the slope and causing hidden dangers; the vegetation system grows in the main channel of the H-shaped fish nest brick through the grid of the slope protection layer.

[0015] Furthermore, the size of the grid is 2 cm.

[0016] Furthermore, the said animals that harm the bank include crayfish. The fish nest brick ecological bank protection structure with connecting channels proposed by the present invention has the following progress and advantages over the previous ecological bank protection technology:

[0017] (1) In the ecological revetment structure constructed by the present invention, the fish nest bricks are staggered to form a channel with three directions connecting inside the whole, providing a wide activity space for fish. At the same time, each fish nest brick is equipped with an independent compartment, which also provides a place for fish to lay eggs.

[0018] (2) In the ecological bank protection structure constructed by the present invention, emergent plants can be planted in the middle of each fish nest brick. The square hole main channel not only provides space for fish to freely enter and exit the fish nest bricks and for plants to grow, but also allows birds to prey on fish near the main channel, while fish in other parts of the fish nest bricks are difficult to be preyed on. This allows plants, fish and birds to coexist harmoniously, and is suitable for bank slope ecological protection in wetland areas.

[0019] (3) In the ecological bank protection structure constructed by the present invention, a grid of a certain size is set in the slope protection layer. While ensuring the stable contact between the fish nest bricks and the bank slope and the normal exchange of water and soil materials, it prevents crayfish and other harmful animals from entering the bank slope soil and digging holes, causing leakage or even leaks during flood season.

[0020] (4) The ecological revetment structure constructed by the present invention adopts staggered assembled prefabricated fish nest brick components to construct the slope ecological protection structure, which is very convenient to transport and install. If there are problems such as component damage and vegetation death, it can be easily replaced without destroying the overall structure;

[0021] (5) The present invention comprehensively considers the issues of ecological protection, animal and plant symbiosis, and embankment safety, and can be used for the ecological protection of slopes in projects such as rivers and embankments, as well as the ecological restoration of exposed slopes in natural environments such as wetlands.
