Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ecological bank protection technology, specifically relating to a modular ecological bank protection structure and construction method that can adapt to changes in water level. Background Technology
[0002] Ecological bank protection is a method of protecting river and lake banks that integrates ecological principles and engineering technology. It breaks through the limitations of traditional hard bank protection, which focuses solely on flood control and erosion resistance. Instead, it takes the construction of a near-natural water-land ecotone ecosystem as its core objective. By using natural materials or biomimetic structures, combined with vegetation restoration and habitat creation, it ensures bank stability while providing breeding grounds for aquatic organisms, promoting material cycling and energy flow, enhancing the water body's self-purification capacity, and forming a flexible buffer zone with both landscape and aesthetic value. Its design emphasizes the concept of dynamic balance, allowing the bank to undergo moderate deformation during natural hydrological processes. This reduces interference with the original ecosystem while achieving multiple benefits of flood control, ecological protection, and landscape enhancement through ecological services such as soil stabilization by vegetation roots and pollutant degradation by microorganisms. It is an important practical form of modern water conservancy engineering's transformation towards ecological and sustainable development.
[0003] Traditional riverbank protection often adopts a single elevation design. Under the influence of seasonal water level fluctuations or tides, problems such as vegetation being submerged and dying at high water levels and riverbanks being exposed and degraded at low water levels often occur. River water levels fluctuate with seasonal and climate changes, and traditional riverbank protection is difficult to adapt to such dynamic changes. Summary of the Invention

The short anchors are threadedly installed in the middle of the bottom inner wall of the ecological frame, and the short anchors are anchored into the interior of the slope body. The fixing groove is opened on the remaining outer wall of the ecological frame, and the limiting strip is installed on the top side of the ecological frame.
[0015] Preferably, the wave-damping mechanism includes a mounting plate, a first wave-damping block, a second wave-damping block, and a mounting block. The mounting plate is installed at one end of the splicing plate. Multiple first and second wave-damping blocks are provided, and multiple first and second wave-damping blocks are stacked and installed on the top of the mounting plate.

The fixing groove, fixing block and connecting groove are all designed as dovetail structures, and the limiting strip is designed as a T-shaped structure.
[0018] Preferably, the first wave-damping blocks and the second wave-damping blocks are arranged in an alternating pattern, with the first wave-damping blocks being four-legged square blocks and the second wave-damping blocks being twisted rectangular blocks.
[0019] A construction method for a modular ecological revetment structure that can adapt to changes in water level includes the following steps:
[0020] Step 1, splice plate installation: First, the slope body is trimmed to ensure that its slope surface is flat, stable and meets the design requirements. Then, long anchor rods are anchored into the slope body through professional anchoring equipment to enhance the connection stability between the splice plate and the slope body and ensure that the splice plate and the slope body fit tightly together.
[0021] Step 2, Modular Component Installation: Prepare multiple ecological frames, assemble adjacent ecological frames together, insert the fixing block into the connecting groove, and then rotate the rotating block to make the positioning bolt engage with the positioning hole at the top of the fixing block to further fix the ecological frame. By anchoring the short anchor bolts into the inside of the slope body, the ecological frame can be installed on the slope body.
[0022] Step 3, Adaptive component installation: Install the adjusting screw inside the adjusting groove, then install the planting frame on the top of the adjusting frame, and slide the limiting frame and the limiting strip together. Then, monitor the water level changes in real time through the water level sensor and transmit the signal to the control system, so that the control system controls the drive component to start, and thus the height of the planting frame can be dynamically adjusted according to the water level changes.
[0023] Step 4: Installation of wave-damping components: Install the mounting plate on the splicing plate and engage the mounting blocks with the fixing slots. Then, stack and stagger multiple first and second wave-damping blocks on the top of the mounting plate. This installation method not only makes it easy to adjust the number and height of the wave-damping blocks according to actual needs, but also effectively enhances the overall wave-damping capability of the wave-damping mechanism.
[0024] Step 5: Planting vegetation: After completing the above installation, inspect the entire ecological revetment structure to ensure that all components are installed correctly and connected firmly. Then, plant suitable vegetation in the planting base within the planting frame and inside the ecological frame, and carry out maintenance and management.
[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] (1) This invention utilizes the coordinated operation of components such as adjusting screw, drive assembly, moving rod, adjusting frame, planting frame and water level sensor. The water level sensor detects water level changes in real time and transmits the signal accurately to the control system, thereby driving the adjusting screw to rotate. This causes the moving rod to move stably within the adjusting groove, which in turn drives the adjusting frame and the planting frame above to achieve dynamic height adjustment. This ensures that the planting frame can accurately change with the water level, keeping the vegetation at a suitable growth water level, greatly improving the survival rate of the vegetation and promoting the stability and sustainable development of the ecosystem.
[0027] (2) Through the coordinated work of the connecting mechanism and the modular mechanism, the present invention realizes the rapid assembly and partial replacement of the ecological frame. The fixed block and the connecting groove are engaged to achieve a preliminary stable connection. The positioning bolt on the rotating block is engaged with the positioning hole at the top of the fixed block to further strengthen the connection, so that the ecological frame and the splicing plate are closely connected. The modular design allows the ecological frame to be flexibly assembled and adjusted according to actual needs, providing a stable space for plant growth and combining engineering protection and ecological protection functions.
[0028] (3) The present invention utilizes the coordinated operation of the mounting plate, the first wave-dissipating block, the second wave-dissipating block and the mounting block. Multiple first wave-dissipating blocks and second wave-dissipating blocks are stacked and staggered, which increases the contact area and action time between the wave-dissipating blocks and the water flow. When waves impact the wave-dissipating mechanism, the water flow will generate more turbulence and energy dissipation in the process of passing through the wave-dissipating blocks. Furthermore, through the coordinated action of these two wave-dissipating blocks, the impact force of waves on the revetment is greatly reduced, thus protecting the stability of the bank slope.

[0038] 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.
[0039] Example 1:
[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a modular ecological revetment structure that can adapt to changes in water level includes:
[0041] Slope body 1;
[0042] A splicing plate 2 is installed at the top center of the slope body 1, and an adjustment groove 3 is provided at the top center of the splicing plate 2.
[0043] Adaptive mechanism 4 is installed between the inner walls of both sides of the adjustment groove 3;
[0044] The adaptive mechanism 4 includes an adjusting screw 41, a drive assembly 42, a moving rod 43, an adjusting frame 44, a planting frame 45, and a water level sensor 46. The adjusting screw 41 is mounted between the inner walls of both sides of the adjusting groove 3 via bearings. The drive assembly 42 is mounted on one end of the adjusting screw 41. The moving rod 43 is threaded onto the outer surface of the adjusting screw 41. The adjusting frame 44 is mounted on the top of the moving rod 43. Three planting frames 45 are provided, and all three planting frames 45 are mounted on the top of the adjusting frame 44. The water level sensor 46 is mounted in the middle of the top wall of the adjusting frame 44.
[0045] Depend on Figures 1 to 5 It is known that the adaptive mechanism 4 also includes a limiting frame 47, a limiting groove 48, a water passage hole 49, and a vegetation planting base 410. There are two limiting frames 47 and two limiting grooves 48. The two limiting frames 47 are respectively installed between the left and right sides of the bottom end of the three planting frames 45. The two limiting grooves 48 are respectively opened at the bottom end of the two limiting frames 47. There are multiple water passage holes 49, and the multiple water passage holes 49 are respectively opened on the bottom inner wall of the three planting frames 45. There are three vegetation planting bases 410, and the three vegetation planting bases 410 are respectively installed inside the three planting frames 45.
[0046] Three connecting mechanisms 5 are embedded in the outer walls of both sides of the splicing plate 2. Each of the multiple connecting mechanisms 5 contains a module mechanism 6, and the multiple module mechanisms 6 are installed at the top of the slope body 1. A wave-damping mechanism 7 is installed at one end of the splicing plate 2. Three storage slots 8 are opened on the outer walls of both sides of the splicing plate 2. Reinforcing slots 9 are opened on the inner walls of both sides of the multiple storage slots 8. Long anchor rods 10 are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the splicing plate 2, and the two long anchor rods 10 are anchored into the interior of the slope body 1.
[0047] As can be seen from the above, when the water level changes, the water level sensor 46 senses the water level information in real time and transmits the signal to the control system. Based on the received water level signal, the control system activates the drive component 42, which is set as the actuator. The drive component 42 drives the adjusting screw 41 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving rod 43 to move within the adjusting groove 3. This causes the adjusting frame 44 to move along with the three planting frames 45. Aquatic plants, wetland plants, and mesophytic plants are planted sequentially from bottom to top within the planting base 410 of the three planting frames 45, dynamically distributed according to the water level, ensuring the survival rate of plants at different water levels. Furthermore, the limiting frame 47 is slidably connected to the limiting strip 65 via the limiting groove 48, ensuring the stability of the movement of the planting frames 45. The movement of the movable pole 43 causes the adjusting frame 44 to dynamically adjust the height of the planting frame 45, ensuring that the planting frame 45 can accurately change with the water level. This keeps the vegetation in the three planting frames 45 at a suitable water level. The planting frame 45 planted with aquatic plants is in the water, the plant roots in the planting frame 45 planted with wetland plants are in contact with the water, and the planting frame 45 planted with mesophytic plants is away from the water. This meets the growth needs of different plants, thereby greatly improving the survival rate of vegetation and promoting the stability and sustainable development of the ecosystem. This design breaks through the limitations of the traditional single elevation of the bank protection and effectively solves the problem of vegetation being submerged and dying at high water levels and the ecological degradation of the riverbank being exposed at low water levels due to seasonal water level fluctuations or tidal influences.
[0048] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the limiting groove 48 is configured as a T-shaped structure, the limiting frame 47 and the adjusting frame 44 are both configured as stepped frames, the water level sensor 46 is configured as a non-contact ultrasonic liquid level measuring device, and the moving rod 43 and the adjusting groove 3 are both configured as cross-shaped structures.
[0049] As can be seen from the above, the T-shaped limiting groove 48 and the limiting strip 65 are slidably connected, which can provide a specific installation and movement guidance space for the limiting frame 47, preventing it from leaving the predetermined position. The stepped frame design can realize layered planting of plants, which can adapt to the ecological needs of different water level sections. The non-contact measurement method allows the water level sensor 46 to avoid direct contact with the liquid being measured, and also reduces the interference of the sensor on the liquid being measured. The cross-shaped moving rod 43 and the adjusting groove 3 cooperate with each other to improve the stability of the moving rod 43 during the movement process.
[0050] Example 2:
[0051] refer to Figures 5 to 7As shown, the connecting mechanism 5 includes a connecting block 51, a connecting groove 52, a reinforcing block 53, a rotating block 54, and a positioning bolt 55. The connecting block 51 is installed inside the receiving groove 8, the connecting groove 52 is opened in the middle of the outer wall of the connecting block 51, two reinforcing blocks 53 are provided, the two reinforcing blocks 53 are respectively installed at both ends of the connecting block 51, and the reinforcing blocks 53 are engaged with the corresponding reinforcing grooves 9. The rotating block 54 is installed on the top of the connecting block 51 through a movable shaft, and the positioning bolt 55 is threaded on one side of the top of the rotating block 54.
[0052] The module mechanism 6 includes an ecological frame 61, a fixing block 62, a short anchor bolt 63, a fixing groove 64, and a limiting strip 65. There are three fixing blocks 62, and the three fixing blocks 62 are respectively installed on the three adjacent outer walls of the ecological frame 61. The short anchor bolt 63 is threaded into the middle of the bottom inner wall of the ecological frame 61, and the short anchor bolt 63 is anchored into the inside of the slope body 1. The fixing groove 64 is opened on the remaining outer wall of the ecological frame 61, and the limiting strip 65 is installed on the top side of the ecological frame 61.
[0053] As can be seen from the above, firstly, the connecting block 51 is installed inside the storage slot 8, and the reinforcing block 53 is engaged with the corresponding reinforcing slot 9, providing initial and stable positioning and fixation for the connecting block 51. When installing the module mechanism 6, the fixing block 62 with positioning holes on the eco-frame 61 is engaged with the connecting slot 52. Then, the rotating block 54 is rotated to the appropriate position, and the positioning bolt 55 is rotated to insert it into the positioning hole of the fixing block 62, further strengthening the connection between the eco-frame 61 and the connecting block 51, ensuring that the two are tightly connected and not easily loosened or separated. This enables the rapid assembly and partial replacement of the ecological frame 61. The modular design of the ecological frame 61 allows for flexible assembly and adjustment according to actual needs, providing a stable space for plant growth and aquatic organism habitat. It combines engineering protection and ecological protection functions. At the same time, by anchoring the short anchor bolts 63 into the interior of the slope body 1, the ecological frame 61 can be stably supported and fixed from the bottom, enhancing the connection strength between the ecological frame 61 and the slope body 1, enabling the ecological frame 61 to better withstand external forces such as water flow impact and soil pressure.
[0054] Preferred, Reference Figures 5 to 7 As shown, multiple growth holes are provided on the bottom inner wall of the ecological frame 61, and the tops of the two fixing blocks 62 are provided with positioning holes that can be engaged with the positioning bolts 55. The fixing groove 64, the fixing block 62 and the connecting groove 52 are all designed as dovetail structures, and the limiting strip 65 is designed as a T-shaped structure.
[0055] As can be seen from the above, the growth holes provide the necessary space and conditions for the growth of plant roots, allowing the plant roots to pass through the bottom of the ecological frame 61, contact the soil and water, and obtain nutrients and water. The positioning holes on the fixing block 62 are engaged with the positioning bolts 55 to achieve a firm connection between the ecological frame 61 and the connecting block 51. The dovetail structure ensures that the connection between the ecological frame 61 and other related components is tight and reliable, not easy to loosen or fall off, improving the structural strength and durability of the entire device, enabling it to withstand greater water flow impact and environmental changes. The T-shaped limiting strip 65 can be slidably connected with the T-shaped limiting groove 48.
[0056] Example 3:
[0057] refer to Figure 8 As shown, the wave-damping mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 71, a first wave-damping block 72, a second wave-damping block 73, and a mounting block 74. The mounting plate 71 is mounted on one end of the splicing plate 2. Multiple first wave-damping blocks 72 and multiple second wave-damping blocks 73 are provided. Multiple first wave-damping blocks 72 and multiple second wave-damping blocks 73 are stacked and mounted on the top of the mounting plate 71. Two mounting blocks 74 are provided, and both mounting blocks 74 are mounted on one end of the mounting plate 71.
[0058] As can be seen from the above, when waves strike the revetment, they first come into contact with multiple first wave-dissipating blocks 72 and second wave-dissipating blocks 73. The first wave-dissipating block 72 adopts a four-legged square design. Its unique four-legged structure increases the contact area and contact points with the water flow. When waves impact the first wave-dissipating block 72, the water flow will generate complex flow around its four legs and turbulence, so that the energy of the water flow is dispersed and consumed in the process of bypassing the first wave-dissipating block 72, thus initially reducing the impact force of the waves. The second wave-dissipating block 73 is a twisted dovetail block with a complex three-dimensional structure. When waves impact the second wave-dissipating block 73, the complex structure of the twisted dovetail block will cause the water flow to be affected on its surface. The system generates stronger eddies and turbulence. As the water flow constantly changes direction and speed, a large amount of energy is dissipated, thus more effectively weakening the energy of the waves. Furthermore, multiple first wave-dissipating blocks 72 and second wave-dissipating blocks 73 are stacked and staggered, increasing the contact area and contact time between the wave-dissipating blocks and the water flow. Through the synergistic effect of these two types of wave-dissipating blocks, the impact force of waves on the revetment is greatly reduced, protecting the slope body 1 from strong wave erosion, reducing the occurrence of accidents such as collapse and landslides caused by wave impact, extending the service life of the revetment, and ensuring the stability and safety of the entire ecological revetment system.
[0059] Preferred, Reference Figure 8 As shown, multiple first wave-damping blocks 72 and second wave-damping blocks 73 are arranged in an alternating pattern. The first wave-damping blocks 72 are set as four-legged square blocks, and the second wave-damping blocks 73 are set as twisted king-shaped blocks.
[0060] As can be seen from the above, the staggered distribution of the wave-dissipating blocks increases the contact area and contact time between the blocks and the water flow, causing the water flow to generate more turbulence and energy dissipation when passing through the blocks. The first wave-dissipating block 72, with its four legs, increases the contact points with the water flow, which helps to disperse the energy of the water flow. The second wave-dissipating block 73, with its unique shape and complex three-dimensional structure, can generate complex eddies and turbulence when the water flow passes around its surface, thus more effectively consuming the energy of the water flow.
[0061] Example 4:
[0062] refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a construction method for a modular ecological revetment structure that can adapt to changes in water level includes the following steps:
[0063] Step 1, splicing plate installation: First, the slope body 1 is repaired to ensure that its slope surface is flat and stable and meets the design requirements. Then, long anchor rods 10 are anchored into the slope body 1 through professional anchoring equipment to enhance the connection stability between the splicing plate 2 and the slope body 1 and ensure that the splicing plate 2 and the slope body 1 are tightly fitted.
[0064] Step 2, Module component installation: Prepare multiple ecological frames 61, assemble adjacent ecological frames 61 together, insert the fixing block 62 into the connecting groove 52, and then rotate the rotating block 54 so that the positioning bolt 55 engages with the positioning hole at the top of the fixing block 62 to further fix the ecological frame 61. By anchoring the short anchor bolt 63 into the inside of the slope body 1, the ecological frame 61 can be installed on the slope body 1.
[0065] Step 3, Adaptive component installation: Install the adjusting screw 41 inside the adjusting groove 3, then install the planting frame 45 on the top of the adjusting frame 44, and slide the limiting frame 47 and the limiting strip 65. Then, monitor the water level change in real time through the water level sensor 46 and transmit the signal to the control system, so that the control system controls the drive component 42 to start, and thus the height of the planting frame 45 can be dynamically adjusted according to the water level change.
[0066] Step 4: Installation of wave-damping components: Install the mounting plate 71 on the splicing plate 2 and make the mounting block 74 snap into the fixing groove 64. Then, stack multiple first wave-damping blocks 72 and second wave-damping blocks 73 and install them on the top of the mounting plate 71 in an alternating manner. This installation method not only makes it easy to adjust the number and height of the wave-damping blocks according to actual needs, but also effectively enhances the overall wave-damping capacity of the wave-damping mechanism 7.
[0067] Step 5, Planting vegetation: After completing the above installation, inspect the entire ecological revetment structure to ensure that all components are installed correctly and connected firmly. Then, plant suitable vegetation in the planting base 410 within the planting frame 45 and inside the ecological frame 61, and carry out maintenance and management.
[0068] Application example:
[0069] This design features a modular ecological revetment structure that adapts to water level changes. It is particularly suitable for riverbank protection environments in urban waterways, which are heavily influenced by human activities and experience complex and frequent water level fluctuations. For example, in urban rivers, water levels rise rapidly during the rainy season and drop significantly during the dry season, requiring multiple functions including flood control, drainage, and landscaping. Traditional revetments are ill-suited to these conditions, but this design effectively addresses this problem. The principle is twofold: firstly, the adaptive mechanism 4 uses a water level sensor 46 to monitor the water level in real time and transmit signals to the control system. This, in turn, controls the drive component 42 to rotate the adjusting screw 41, causing the moving rod 43 to move and the adjusting frame 44 to move accordingly. This allows the planting frame 45 to dynamically adjust its height according to the water level, ensuring the vegetation remains at a suitable water level. Secondly, the connecting mechanism 5 works in conjunction with the modular mechanism 6 to fix the blocks... The ecological frame 61 is then anchored into the slope body 1 via short anchor bolts 63, enabling rapid assembly and partial replacement. Simultaneously, in the wave-dissipating mechanism 7, the first wave-dissipating block 72 and the second wave-dissipating block 73 are stacked alternately to alter wave motion and dissipate energy, reducing impact. In actual environments, this design demonstrates significant ecological effects. The adaptive mechanism 4 improves vegetation survival rates, promotes material cycling, and enhances the water body's self-purification capacity. The modular ecological frame 61 provides habitat for organisms and increases biodiversity. In terms of engineering protection, the ecological frame 61 is resistant to erosion and slippage, while the wave-dissipating mechanism 7 reduces wave impact and minimizes slope accidents. Aesthetically, the vegetation and wave-dissipating blocks create a flexible buffer zone that is both beautiful and practical, enhancing the quality of the surrounding landscape.

10. A construction method for a modular ecological revetment structure adaptable to water level changes, applicable to the modular ecological revetment structure adaptable to water level changes described in any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1, splicing plate installation: First, the slope body (1) is repaired to ensure that its slope surface is flat and stable and meets the design requirements. Then, long anchor rods (10) are anchored into the slope body (1) through professional anchoring equipment to enhance the connection stability between the splicing plate (2) and the slope body (1) and ensure that the splicing plate (2) and the slope body (1) are tightly fitted. Step 2, Module component installation: Prepare multiple ecological frames (61), assemble adjacent ecological frames (61) together, insert the fixing block (62) into the connecting groove (52), and then rotate the rotating block (54) so that the positioning bolt (55) engages with the positioning hole at the top of the fixing block (62) to further fix the ecological frame (61). By anchoring the short anchor bolt (63) into the inside of the slope body (1), the ecological frame (61) can be installed on the slope body (1). Step 3, Adaptive component installation: Install the adjusting screw (41) inside the adjusting groove (3), then install the planting frame (45) on the top of the adjusting frame (44), and make the limiting frame (47) slide and connect with the limiting strip (65). Then, monitor the water level change in real time through the water level sensor (46) and transmit the signal to the control system, so that the control system controls the drive component (42) to start, and then the height of the planting frame (45) can be dynamically adjusted according to the water level change. Step 4: Installation of wave-damping components: Install the mounting plate (71) on the splicing plate (2) and make the mounting block (74) snap into the fixing groove (64). Then, stack multiple first wave-damping blocks (72) and second wave-damping blocks (73) and install them on the top of the mounting plate (71) in an alternating manner. This installation method not only makes it easy to adjust the number and height of the wave-damping blocks according to actual needs, but also effectively enhances the overall wave-damping capacity of the wave-damping mechanism (7). Step 5, Planting vegetation: After completing the above installation, inspect the entire ecological revetment structure to ensure that each component is installed correctly and connected firmly. Then, plant suitable vegetation in the vegetation planting base (410) in the planting frame (45) and inside the ecological frame (61), and carry out maintenance and management.
