Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ecological restoration and greening technology, specifically to a soil stabilization structure for rockfill slopes. Background Technology

[0002] Ecological restoration of open-pit mine waste rock dumps refers to the process of using engineering techniques to ecologically manage waste rock dumps generated from mining activities, restoring their ecological functions and enabling the reuse of land resources. Its core lies in addressing issues such as soil erosion, geological instability, and soil pollution at waste rock dumps, while simultaneously rebuilding a sustainable vegetation system.

[0003] The existing ecological restoration method for open-pit mine waste rock dumps is to use pipelines to drip water onto the soil slopes of the waste rock dumps for planting vegetation, thereby restoring the ecology of the soil slopes.

[0004] In the long term, the micropores of existing pipe networks are easily blocked by soil colloids (such as clay particles) and microbial secretions (such as extracellular polysaccharides), leading to a decrease in infiltration efficiency. The pipe network is also prone to softening in humid environments and may collapse and break during rainstorms. Small animals such as earthworms in the soil may weaken the soil improvement effect. Therefore, we propose a rockfill slope stabilization soil structure. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stable soil structure for rockfill slopes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the easy blockage of micropores in the pipe network by soil colloids (such as clay particles) and microbial secretions (such as extracellular polysaccharides) during long-term operation, resulting in decreased infiltration efficiency, easy softening of the pipe network in humid environments, possible collapse and breakage during rainstorms, and the potential weakening of soil improvement effects by earthworms and other small animals in the soil.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a soil structure for stabilizing a rockfill slope, comprising: multiple first water pipes and multiple second water pipes, with multiple connecting pipes provided between the multiple first water pipes and multiple second water pipes, and multiple drip holes opened inside the second water pipes;

[0007] Also includes:

[0008] Multiple sealing components are installed at the connection between the second water pipe and the connecting pipe. The sealing components and the connecting pipe work together to introduce the water flow inside the first water pipe into the second water pipe and seal and maintain pressure.

[0009] Multiple cleaning components are installed inside the second water pipe. The water flow from the first water pipe into the second water pipe cleans the microbial secretions from the drip holes.

[0010] Multiple switching components are installed inside the connecting pipe connecting the first water pipe and the second water pipe. The switching components control the connection between the first water pipe and the second water pipe.

[0011] A pressurizing component is installed at the top of the first water pipe. The pressurizing component pressurizes the first water pipe according to the number of times the switch components are turned on.

[0012] The multiple sealing components include a first sealing block and a second sealing block. The outer periphery of the first sealing block is fixed inside the second water pipe. A first spring is installed inside the first sealing block. A first hemispherical block slides inside the first sealing block. The outer periphery of the second sealing block is fixed inside the second water pipe. A second spring is installed inside the second sealing block. A second hemispherical block slides inside the second sealing block. A flow chamber is opened inside the second sealing block. A connecting rod is provided between the first hemispherical block and the second hemispherical block.

[0013] The cleaning components include a cleaning block, which is set inside the drip hole. A fixing block is fixed to the top of the cleaning block, and a nylon rope is fixed to the outside of the cleaning block.

[0014] Among them, multiple switch components include mounting posts, the outer periphery of which is fixed inside the connecting pipe. Multiple electric push rods are installed inside the mounting posts, and a blocking block is fixed to the output end of the electric push rod. A sealing ring is fixed inside the blocking block.

[0015] The pressurization assembly includes a mounting plate and a connecting pipe. The mounting plate is located outside the first water pipe. A motor is fixed to one side of the mounting plate, and a gear is fixed to the output end of the motor. A mounting block is fixed to the other side of the mounting plate. A limit block is fixed to the bottom of the mounting block, and a rack slides inside the limit block. A third spring is set on the top of the rack. A support block is fixed to the outside of the mounting plate, and a button is fixed to the top of the support block. A cylinder is fixed to the outside of the mounting plate, and a piston plate is fixed to the output end of the cylinder. The connecting pipe is located on the top of the first water pipe, and a pressurization chamber is fixed to the top of the connecting pipe.

[0016] One end of the first spring is fixed to the inner wall of the first sealing block, and the other end of the first spring is fixed to the outer periphery of the first hemispherical block. One end of the second spring is fixed to the inner wall of the second sealing block, and the other end of the second spring is fixed to the outer periphery of the second hemispherical block.

[0017] The end of the nylon rope furthest from the cleaning block is fixed to the inner wall of the second water pipe, the outer side of the first sealing block, and the outer side of the second sealing block.

[0018] The outer circumference of the sealing ring slides inside the mounting column.

[0019] The gear and rack mesh, the rack and button abut against each other, and the end of the third spring away from the rack is fixed to the bottom of the mounting block.

[0020] The piston plate slides on its outer side inside the pressurization chamber, while the gear rotates on its outer circumference inside the mounting plate.

[0021] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] In use, this invention uses a switching component to allow water from the first water pipe to flow into the second water pipe through a connecting pipe. The water flow is then cleaned by an impact cleaning component to prevent the drip holes from being blocked by soil colloids (such as clay particles) or microbial secretions (such as extracellular polysaccharides), which would reduce the permeability. A sealing component maintains pressure on the water flow in the second water pipe, allowing collapsed areas during heavy rain to be re-supported. Simultaneously, it can introduce water from other parts of the first water pipe into other parts of the second water pipe. Once the second water pipe is full of water, the sealing component seals the connecting pipe. A pressurizing component increases pressure according to the number of switches opened on the first water pipe's connecting pipe, allowing water from the first water pipe to flow normally into the second water pipe.

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a soil structure for stabilizing the slope of a rockfill body, comprising: multiple first water pipes 1 and multiple second water pipes 2, multiple connecting pipes 3 being provided between the multiple first water pipes 1 and multiple second water pipes 2, and multiple drip holes 4 being opened inside the second water pipes 2;

[0035] Also includes:

[0036] Multiple sealing components 5 are installed at the connection between the second water pipe 2 and the connecting pipe 3. The sealing components 5 and the connecting pipe 3 cooperate to introduce the water flow inside the first water pipe 1 into the second water pipe 2 and seal and maintain pressure.

[0037] Multiple cleaning components 6 are installed inside the second water pipe 2. The water flow entering the second water pipe 2 through the first water pipe 1 cleans the microbial secretions in the drip hole 4.

[0038] Multiple switch components 7 are disposed inside the connecting pipe 3 that connects the first water pipe 1 and the second water pipe 2. The switch components 7 control the connection between the first water pipe 1 and the second water pipe 2.

[0039] The pressurizing component 8 is located on top of the first water pipe 1. The pressurizing component 8 pressurizes the first water pipe 1 according to the number of times the switch component 7 is turned on.

[0040] Multiple sealing components 5 each include a first sealing block 50 and a second sealing block 53. The outer periphery of the first sealing block 50 is fixed inside the second water pipe 2. A first spring 51 is provided inside the first sealing block 50. A first hemispherical block 52 slides inside the first sealing block 50. The outer periphery of the second sealing block 53 is fixed inside the second water pipe 2. A second spring 54 is provided inside the second sealing block 53. A second hemispherical block 55 slides inside the second sealing block 53. A flow chamber 56 is opened inside the second sealing block 53. A connecting rod 57 is provided between the first hemispherical block 52 and the second hemispherical block 55.

[0041] In use, when water flows from the first water pipe 1 into the second water pipe 2, the water flow is first pressurized inside the second water pipe 2, causing the collapsed part of the second water pipe 2 to be repositioned and supported. During the pressurization, the pressure of the water flow pushes the first hemispherical block 52, which pulls the first spring 51. The first spring 51 generates elastic force, holding the first hemispherical block 52 in place to prevent it from sliding out of the first sealing block 50. When the first hemispherical block 52 slides out of the first sealing block 50, it drives the connecting rod 57. The connecting rod 57 drives the second hemispherical block 55 to slide inside the second sealing block 53. The second hemispherical block 55 drives the second spring 54, causing the second spring 54 to generate elastic force. When the second hemispherical block 55 slides open the flow chamber 56 in the second sealing block 53, the water flow from the connecting pipe 3 enters the second water pipe 2 through the flow chamber 56.

[0042] Multiple cleaning components 6 each include a cleaning block 60, which is disposed inside the drip hole 4. A fixing block 61 is fixed to the top of the cleaning block 60, and a nylon rope 62 is fixed to the outside of the cleaning block 60.

[0043] When in use, when the water inside the first water pipe 1 enters the second water pipe 2, the water flow impacts the fixed block 61, and the fixed block 61 causes the cleaning block 60 to shake. When the cleaning block 60 shakes, it drives the nylon rope 62, which has elasticity to reset the cleaning block 60.

[0044] Multiple switch assemblies 7 each include a mounting post 70. The outer periphery of the mounting post 70 is fixed inside the connecting pipe 3. Multiple electric push rods 71 ​​are provided inside the mounting post 70. A blocking block 72 is fixed at the output end of the electric push rod 71. A sealing ring 73 is fixed inside the blocking block 72.

[0045] When in use, start the electric push rod 71, which pushes the blocking block 72. The blocking block 72 causes the sealing ring 73 to slide out from inside the mounting column 70, and the water inside the first water pipe 1 enters the second water pipe 2 through the mounting column 70.

[0046] The pressurization assembly 8 includes a mounting plate 80 and a connecting pipe 812. The mounting plate 80 is located outside the first water pipe 1. A motor 81 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 80, and a gear 82 is fixed to the output end of the motor 81. A mounting block 83 is fixed to the other side of the mounting plate 80. A limit block 84 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting block 83. A rack 85 slides inside the limit block 84. A third spring 86 is located on the top of the rack 85. A support block 87 is fixed to the outside of the mounting plate 80. A button 88 is fixed to the top of the support block 87. A cylinder 89 is fixed to the outside of the mounting plate 80. A piston plate 810 is fixed to the output end of the cylinder 89. The connecting pipe 812 is located on the top of the first water pipe 1. A pressurization chamber 811 is fixed to the top of the connecting pipe 812.

[0047] In use, the motor 81 is started according to the number of switches 7 that are turned on. The motor 81 drives the gear 82 to rotate. The gear 82 meshes with the rack 85. The gear 82 drives the rack 85 to move downward. The rack 85 slides downward inside the limit block 84. At the same time, the rack 85 pulls the third spring 86, causing the third spring 86 to generate elastic force. The more switches 7 are turned on, the greater the force of the rack 85 moving downward and abutting against the button 88. The cylinder 89 pushes the piston plate 810 to slide downward inside the pressurization chamber 811 more with the pressure of the button 88. The more the piston plate 810 slides downward from the inside under pressure, the greater the pressure on the first water pipe 1, ensuring that the water from the first water pipe 1 flows normally into the second water pipe 2.

[0048] In use, the switch assembly 7 switches the connecting pipe 3 to allow water from the first water pipe 1 to flow into the second water pipe 2. The water flow impacts the cleaning assembly 6, which cleans the drip holes 4 to prevent them from being blocked by soil colloids (such as clay particles) and microbial secretions (such as extracellular polysaccharides), which would reduce the permeability. The water flow is pressurized inside the second water pipe 2 by the sealing assembly 5, which restores the collapsed parts of the second water pipe 2. At the same time, the other end of the sealing assembly 5 is opened to allow water from other parts of the first water pipe 1 to enter the second water pipe 2 through the connecting pipe 3. The pressure-increasing assembly 8 is activated by the number of switches 7 to pressurize the first water pipe 1 to different degrees, allowing the water from the first water pipe 1 to flow normally into the second water pipe 2. The water from the second water pipe 2 can drip out through the gap between the drip holes 4 and the cleaning assembly 6.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] In this second embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged. The difference from the first embodiment is that one end of the first spring 51 is fixed to the inner wall of the first sealing block 50, and the other end is fixed to the outer periphery of the first hemispherical block 52, allowing the first spring 51 to be pulled by the first hemispherical block 52. One end of the second spring 54 is fixed to the inner wall of the second sealing block 53, and the other end is fixed to the outer periphery of the second hemispherical block 55, allowing the second hemispherical block 55 to pull the second spring 54. The end of the nylon rope 62 away from the cleaning block 60 is fixed to the inner wall of the second water pipe 2, the outer side of the first sealing block 50, and the outer side of the second sealing block 53, ensuring stable installation of the nylon rope 62. The outer periphery of the sealing ring 73... The sliding mechanism inside the mounting post 70 allows the sealing ring 73 to smoothly enter and exit the mounting post 70, increasing the sealing performance of the switch assembly 7. The gear 82 meshes with the rack 85, enabling the gear 82 to drive the rack 85. The rack 85 abuts against the button 88, allowing the rack 85 to press the button 88. The end of the third spring 86 away from the rack 85 is fixed to the bottom of the mounting block 83, allowing the third spring 86 to be pulled by the rack 85, assisting the rack 85 in resetting. The outer side of the piston plate 810 slides inside the pressure chamber 811, allowing the piston plate 810 to be pushed by the cylinder 89. The outer circumference of the gear 82 rotates inside the mounting plate 80, ensuring stable rotation of the gear 82.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0052] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
