Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of breakwater technology, specifically to a vertical breakwater with a plant root-like base. Background Technology

[0002] Breakwaters are hydraulic structures used to defend against wave intrusion and create a sheltered waterway. As an important component of port hydraulic structures, breakwaters protect port waters from the influence of wind and waves, maintain the stability of the port waters, and create a sheltered waterway. Some breakwaters also serve as wharves or have certain anchoring equipment installed on their inner side for ships to berth. According to their plan layout, they are divided into piers and island breakwaters; according to their cross-sectional form, they are divided into three types: sloping, vertical, and hybrid. Vertical pile breakwaters are a common coastal engineering structure with advantages such as structural stability, reduced sediment migration, and flexible construction, and are therefore widely used.

[0003] However, the vertical breakwaters currently used in port hydraulic structures generate strong wave reflections due to their vertical pile structure. This can cause wave energy to accumulate in front of the breakwater, exacerbating coastal erosion. Vertical breakwaters can also restrict natural water flow and water quality exchange, leading to eutrophication or pollutant accumulation and damaging the original ecological environment, resulting in poor actual performance of these breakwaters. To address this issue, we propose a vertical breakwater with a plant root-like base. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a vertical breakwater with a plant root-like base, which effectively mitigates wave energy, thereby reducing wave height and impact force. It also facilitates the capture of sediment in the water, promotes sediment accumulation, enhances silt stability, and prevents coastal erosion. Furthermore, it facilitates water exchange on both sides of the vertical breakwater, which helps improve water quality, promotes ecological balance, and effectively enhances the overall performance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A vertical breakwater with a plant root-like base includes a pile foundation mechanism, with a fixing mechanism inserted into the upper end of multiple sets of the pile foundation mechanism, and a top mechanism provided at the upper end of the fixing mechanism.

[0007] The pile foundation mechanism includes a pile body, an outer column integrally provided on the outer side of the pile body, and symmetrically provided locking holes at the upper end of the outer column. The fixing mechanism is engaged with the locking holes. A plant root-like component is integrally provided on the outer side of the pile body. A buffer component is bolted to the outer side of the pile foundation mechanism.

[0008] The plant root system component includes multiple sets of root stems that are integrally connected with the pile body, and multiple sets of convex stems are provided on the outer side of each root stem.

[0009] Furthermore, the pile body, outer column, rootstock, and protruding stem are all integrally cast concrete.

[0010] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a first concrete block that is bolted to the pile body. The first concrete block has a through hole in the middle that is inserted into the pile body. A rubber sleeve is installed in the inner cavity of the through hole. A fixing column is integrally connected to the lower end of the first concrete block.

[0011] Furthermore, the first concrete base block has insertion holes around its upper perimeter, and insertion posts are inserted into the inner cavities of each insertion hole. The upper ends of the insertion posts are connected to a galvanized square frame. The outer perimeter of the galvanized square frame has square grooves, and nail-shaped posts are movably inserted into the inner cavities of each square groove. The diameter of the nail-shaped posts is smaller than the inner cavity of the square grooves. One end of each nail-shaped post is connected to a rubber vibration damping seat, and one end of each rubber vibration damping seat is connected to a second concrete base block. The second concrete base block is movably fitted onto the outside of the pile body.

[0012] Furthermore, both the rubber sleeve and the rubber vibration damping seat are made of corrosion-resistant rubber material.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the outer columns is fitted with a galvanized steel sleeve, and a galvanized tie rod is connected between every two galvanized steel sleeves.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a reinforcing component that is fixedly inserted into multiple sets of piles. The upper end of the reinforcing component is provided with a concrete cover plate, and the lower end of the concrete cover plate is provided with multiple sets of slots that are inserted into the piles.

[0015] Furthermore, the reinforcement component includes multiple sets of steel structure boxes, each set of steel structure boxes is provided with insertion holes for fixed connection with the pile body, and each steel structure box has symmetrically arranged locking posts at its lower end that engage with locking holes. I-beams are connected to each other among the structural boxes, and reinforcing plates are welded to both sides of each I-beam. Reinforcing ribs are welded equidistantly between the ends of each reinforcing plate and the I-beam. Two sets of crossbeams are welded between every two steel structure boxes, and corrugated steel bars are welded between every two crossbeams.

[0016] Furthermore, the top mechanism includes protective thresholds cast on both sides of the upper end of the concrete cover plate, the upper end of the concrete cover plate is covered with the road surface body, and the upper end of the protective thresholds is equipped with guardrails.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a vertical breakwater with a root-like base resembling plant roots, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This vertical breakwater with a plant root system, through its designed plant root system components, features multiple groups of rhizomes densely distributed on the outer side of the pile, with several protruding stems on the outer side. This effectively mitigates wave energy, reducing wave height and impact. As the foundation of the breakwater, this plant root system component can also capture sediment in the water, promoting sediment accumulation, enhancing silt stability, and preventing coastal erosion. Furthermore, it facilitates water flow, enabling water quality exchange on both sides of the vertical breakwater, which helps improve water quality, promotes ecological balance, and contributes to maintaining and increasing the sustainability of fishery resources, effectively improving its performance.

[0019] 2. This vertical breakwater with a plant root-like base, through the design of buffer components, when waves continuously impact the pile, the pile compresses the rubber sleeve and the second concrete base block, and the second concrete base block further compresses the rubber vibration damping seat. The nail-shaped column on the outside of the rubber vibration damping seat can move in the inner cavity of the square groove, which allows the pile to compress the second concrete base block from all sides. Thus, the rubber vibration damping seat and rubber sleeve made of corrosion-resistant rubber material effectively buffer and release pressure, which effectively protects the pile and provides stable support, thus achieving the solid effect of this breakwater.

[0020] 3. This upright breakwater with a root-like base is fixed to the outside of the pile body via steel structure boxes. The steel structure boxes are connected by I-beams, which increases the longitudinal connection strength of the pile body. The reinforcing ribs connecting the I-beams to the reinforcing plates further enhance the connection strength of the I-beams, effectively improving the connection stability between the pile bodies. The crossbeams connecting the steel structure boxes, and the corrugated steel bars connecting the crossbeams, increase the connection strength between the two rows of pile bodies in the transverse direction, effectively improving the support stability of the pile foundation structure of this breakwater. Furthermore, the galvanized tie rods connected between the galvanized steel sleeves installed on the outside of the outer columns further increase the connection stability between the outer columns, thereby increasing the stable support effect of the pile body.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-9 A vertical breakwater with a plant root-like base includes a pile foundation mechanism 1, which includes a pile body 11. An outer column 12 is integrally provided on the outer side of the pile body 11. The upper end of the outer column 12 is symmetrically provided with locking holes 13. A fixing mechanism 2 is engaged with the locking holes 13. A plant root-like component 14 is integrally provided on the outer side of the pile body 11. The plant root-like component 14 includes multiple sets of root stems 141 integrally connected to the pile body 11. Multiple sets of protruding stems 142 are provided on the outer side of each root stem 141. The pile body 11, outer column 12, root stems 141 and protruding stems 142 are all integrally cast from concrete. A galvanized steel sleeve 16 is installed on the outer side of each outer column 12. A galvanized tie rod 17 is connected between every two galvanized steel sleeves 16.

[0033] The integrated concrete casting of the pile body 11, outer column 12, rootstock 141, and protruding stem 142 effectively increases the connection strength between them, thereby increasing the stability and firmness of the support. The galvanized tie rod 17 connecting the galvanized steel sleeves 16 installed on the outside of the outer column 12 further increases the connection firmness between the outer columns 12, thus increasing the stable support effect of the pile body 11. The designed plant root-like component 14, with multiple sets of rootstock 141 densely distributed on the outside of the pile body 11 and multiple protruding stems 142 on its outer side, effectively mitigates wave energy, reducing wave height and impact. As the foundation of the breakwater, this plant root-like component 14 can also capture sediment in the water, promoting sediment accumulation, enhancing silt stability, and preventing coastal erosion. Furthermore, it facilitates water flow, enabling water exchange on both sides of the vertical breakwater, improving water quality, promoting ecological balance, and helping to maintain and increase the sustainability of fishery resources, effectively improving the overall performance.

[0034] A buffer assembly 15 is bolted to the outer side of the pile foundation mechanism 1. The buffer assembly 15 includes a first concrete block 151 bolted to the pile body 11. A through hole 152 is provided in the middle of the first concrete block 151 for insertion into the pile body 11. A rubber sleeve 153 is installed in the inner cavity of the through hole 152. A fixing column 155 is integrally connected to the lower end of the first concrete block 151. Insertion holes 154 are provided around the upper end of the first concrete block 151. Insertion columns 157 are inserted into the inner cavity of each insertion hole 154. The upper end of the insertion column 157 is... A galvanized square frame 156 is connected together. Square grooves 158 are provided on all four sides of the outer side of the galvanized square frame 156. Nail-shaped columns 159 are movably inserted into the inner cavity of the square grooves 158. The diameter of the nail-shaped columns 159 is smaller than the size of the inner cavity of the square grooves 158. One end of each nail-shaped column 159 is connected to a rubber vibration damping seat 1510. One end of the rubber vibration damping seat 1510 is connected to a second concrete base block 1511. The second concrete base block 1511 is movably sleeved on the outside of the pile body 11. Both the rubber sleeve 153 and the rubber vibration damping seat 1510 are made of corrosion-resistant rubber material.

[0035] When waves continuously impact the pile body 11, the pile body 11 compresses the rubber sleeve 153 and the second concrete base block 1511. The second concrete base block 1511 further compresses the rubber vibration damping seat 1510. The nail-shaped column 159 on the outside of the rubber vibration damping seat 1510 can move in the inner cavity of the square groove 158, which allows the pile body 11 to compress the second concrete base block 1511 from all sides. Thus, the rubber vibration damping seat 1510 and the rubber sleeve 153, made of corrosion-resistant rubber material, effectively buffer and release pressure, which effectively protects the pile body 11 and provides stable support.

[0036] A fixing mechanism 2 is inserted into the upper end of multiple sets of pile foundation mechanisms 1. The fixing mechanism 2 includes a reinforcing component 21 that is fixedly inserted into the multiple sets of pile bodies 11. A concrete cover plate 22 is provided at the upper end of the reinforcing component 21, and multiple sets of slots 23 that are inserted into the pile bodies 11 are provided at the lower end of the concrete cover plate 22. The reinforcing component 21 includes multiple sets of steel structure boxes 211, and each set of steel structure boxes 211 is provided with insertion holes 212 that are fixedly inserted into the pile bodies 11. The lower end of each 11 is symmetrically provided with a locking post 213 that engages with the locking hole 13. All structural boxes 211 are connected by I-beams 214. Both sides of the I-beams 214 are welded with reinforcing plates 215. The two ends of the reinforcing plates 215 and the I-beams 214 are welded with reinforcing ribs 216 at equal intervals. Two sets of crossbeams 217 are welded together between every two steel structural boxes 211. Corrugated steel strips 218 are welded together between every two crossbeams 217.

[0037] The steel structure box 211 is inserted into the upper hole 13 of the outer column 12 by the locking post 213 at the lower end of the steel structure box 211, and the insertion hole 212 at the upper end of the steel structure box 211 is inserted into the outside of the pile body 11, which facilitates the effective installation of the steel structure box 211. The steel structure box 211 and the pile body 11 are bolted together to fix the steel structure box 211 to the outside of the pile body 11. The steel structure boxes 211 are connected by I-beams 214, which improves the connection strength of a row of pile bodies 11 in the longitudinal direction. The I-beams 214 and the reinforcing plate 215 are connected by reinforcing ribs 216, which further improves the connection strength of the I-beams 214 and effectively improves the connection firmness between a row of pile bodies 11. The crossbeams 217 connecting the steel structure boxes 211 and the corrugated steel bars 218 connecting the crossbeams 217 increase the connection strength between the two rows of pile bodies 11 in the transverse direction, which effectively improves the support firmness of the pile foundation structure 1 of this breakwater.

[0038] The upper end of the fixing mechanism 2 is provided with a top mechanism 3, which includes protective barriers 32 cast on both sides of the upper end of the concrete cover 22. The upper end of the concrete cover 22 is covered with the road body 31, and the upper end of the protective barriers 32 is equipped with guardrails 33.

[0039] The designed protective barriers 32 and guardrails 33 provide effective safety protection for vehicles traveling on the road surface 31 and pedestrians, and are easy to use.

[0040] Working Principle: This invention effectively increases the connection strength between the pile body 11, outer column 12, root stem 141, and protruding stem 142, which are integrally cast with concrete, thereby increasing the stability and firmness of the support. The galvanized steel sleeves 16 installed on the outside of the outer column 12 are connected by galvanized tie rods 17, further increasing the connection firmness between the outer columns 12, thus increasing the stable support effect of the pile body 11. The designed plant root-like component 14, with multiple sets of root stems 141 densely distributed on the outside of the pile body 11 and multiple protruding stems 142 on its outer side, effectively mitigates wave energy, reducing wave height and impact. As the foundation of the breakwater, this plant root-like component 14 can also capture sediment in the water, promoting sediment accumulation, enhancing silt stability, and preventing coastal erosion. Furthermore, it facilitates water flow, enabling water exchange on both sides of the vertical breakwater, improving water quality, promoting ecological balance, and helping to maintain and increase the sustainability of fishery resources, effectively improving the usage effect.

[0041] Furthermore, by designing the buffer component 15, when waves continuously impact the pile body 11, the pile body 11 compresses the rubber sleeve 153 and the second concrete base block 1511. The second concrete base block 1511 further compresses the rubber vibration damping seat 1510. The nail-shaped column 159 on the outside of the rubber vibration damping seat 1510 can move in the inner cavity of the square groove 158, which allows the pile body 11 to compress the second concrete base block 1511 from all sides. Thus, the rubber vibration damping seat 1510 and the rubber sleeve 153, made of corrosion-resistant rubber material, effectively buffer and release pressure, which effectively protects the pile body 11 and provides stable support.

[0042] Furthermore, the steel structure box 211 is inserted into the upper hole 13 of the outer column 12 via the locking post 213 at the lower end, while the insertion hole 212 at the upper end of the steel structure box 211 is inserted into the outside of the pile body 11, facilitating the effective installation of the steel structure box 211. The steel structure box 211 is then bolted to the pile body 11 for secure installation. The steel structure boxes 211 are connected by I-beams 214, increasing the longitudinal connection strength of the row of pile bodies 11. The connection between the I-beams 214 and the reinforcing plate 215 is also improved. The reinforcing rib 216 further improves the connection strength of the I-beam 214, effectively enhancing the connection firmness between the rows of piles 11. The crossbeams 217 connecting the steel structure boxes 211, and the corrugated steel bars 218 connecting the crossbeams 217, increase the connection strength between the two rows of piles 11 in the horizontal direction, effectively improving the support firmness of the pile foundation structure 1 of this breakwater. The top structure, through the designed protective threshold 32 and guardrail 33, provides effective safety protection for vehicles traveling on the road body 31 and pedestrians, making it easy to use.
