Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flood control walls, specifically to a flood control wall structure for ecological corridors. Background Technology

[0002] Flood control walls, as crucial structures in urban flood control systems, have long been primarily constructed using rigid structures such as reinforced concrete to enhance flood resistance and stability. However, traditional flood control wall designs often prioritize flood control while neglecting their negative impacts on the ecological environment. These structures disrupt the natural connection between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, leading to habitat fragmentation for aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Birds and other animals lack resting and roosting sites, severely threatening biodiversity. Furthermore, traditional flood control wall structures are susceptible to damage to their foundations when exposed to high-speed water flow, and the lack of effective real-time monitoring methods makes it difficult to provide early warnings of erosion risks, posing a threat to the long-term safe operation of flood control walls.

[0003] In related technologies, green belt facilities or simple platforms are usually set up, but these measures often lack systematic and structural integration, failing to truly achieve the integrated design of ecological corridor functions and flood control structures. At the same time, reasonable monitoring is also lacking, making it impossible to achieve real-time monitoring and intelligent early warning of the scouring status of the water-facing sidewalls. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an ecological corridor flood control wall structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This invention provides an ecological corridor flood control wall structure, comprising:

[0006] The main body of the flood control wall includes several pile foundations, a flood control wall base plate set on top of all the pile foundations, and a flood control wall body fixedly set on the upper part of the flood control wall base plate;

[0007] An ecological corridor platform is located on the water-facing side of the flood control wall. The ecological corridor platform includes a habitat platform for animals and a water-retaining embankment surrounding the edge of the habitat platform.

[0008] Anchoring components are used to fix the ecological corridor platform to the flood control wall body;

[0009] The erosion-resistant structure is laid on the riverbed or coast in front of the main body of the flood control wall;

[0010] The monitoring and early warning system includes a wireless data acquisition and transmission device installed on the flood control wall, several monitoring units installed on the scour prevention structure, and a monitoring application platform. The wireless data acquisition and transmission device is used to collect and wirelessly transmit the data from the monitoring units to the monitoring application platform. The monitoring application platform is configured to provide early warning information on the safety status of the scour prevention structure based on the received monitoring data.

[0011] Beneficial effects: Placing the ecological corridor platform on the waterfront side provides dedicated animal habitat, effectively connecting the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, alleviating habitat fragmentation caused by traditional flood control walls, and providing resting and roosting places for birds and other animals, thereby promoting biodiversity; the scour-resistant structure laid on the riverbed or coastline disperses and weakens the scouring force of the water flow, protects the pile foundation from erosion, and extends the service life of the flood control wall structure; anchoring components ensure a firm connection between the ecological corridor platform and the flood control wall body, improving the overall integrity and seismic resistance of the structure, and avoiding the problem of ecological facilities becoming detached from the main structure. The monitoring and early warning system monitors the scour status in real time through wireless data acquisition and transmission equipment and monitoring units, and the monitoring application platform provides feedback on safety early warning information to achieve auxiliary monitoring purposes and reduce the operational risks of the flood control wall.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pile foundations are arranged vertically; the pile foundations are arranged in at least two rows at intervals.

[0013] Beneficial effects: Two or more rows of pile foundations can distribute the load of the flood control wall, reduce the risk of uneven settlement, and are suitable for soft soil foundations or high water flow impact environments, which enhances the overturning resistance of the structure; In this scheme, the vertical setting and multi-row layout of the pile foundations make the structure more adaptable to the topographic changes of the riverbed or coast, improve the applicability and durability of the flood control wall structure, and also provide reliable support for the ecological corridor platform.

[0014] In some embodiments, each column of pile foundations is arranged at equal intervals along the extension direction of the main body of the flood control wall.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Equal spacing can ensure consistent stress distribution in the pile foundation, avoid stress concentration, reduce the risk of local damage, and thus improve the overall stability and seismic resistance of the structure. In addition, equal spacing design facilitates construction control and quality control, reduces construction difficulty and cost, and ensures the continuity of the flood control wall along its extension direction.

[0016] In some embodiments, the habitat platform, the water-retaining embankment, and the flood control wall together form a semi-enclosed habitat cavity;

[0017] The ecological corridor platform also includes a water diversion channel that runs through the habitat platform. The upper end of the water diversion channel is connected to the habitat cavity, and the lower end extends to be suitable for connecting with the external environment.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The semi-enclosed habitat provides shelter and protection for animals, reducing external disturbances. Meanwhile, the water-retaining embankment prevents direct water flow, enhancing the practicality of the habitat platform. The water channel connects the habitat to the external environment, allowing for the drainage of accumulated water and impurities. It also promotes the exchange of substances and biological migration between land and water, helping to maintain micro-ecological balance and enhancing the functionality of the ecological corridor.

[0019] In some embodiments, the surface of the habitat cavity is covered from bottom to top with a mixed layer of gravel and soil, in which water-tolerant plants are planted.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The mixed layer provides a substrate for plant growth. Water-tolerant plants not only purify water and stabilize soil against erosion, but also provide food and shelter for animals, further attracting biodiversity. The combination of plants and gravel has infiltration and filtration effects, which helps improve local water quality, while buffering the impact of water flow and enhancing the self-sustaining capacity of the ecological corridor.

[0021] In some embodiments, the anchoring component is configured as a pre-embedded anchoring steel bar, and the ecological corridor platform is integrally cast with the flood control wall body through the pre-embedded anchoring steel bar.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The pre-embedded anchor steel bars are integrated with the flood control wall body during the construction stage, forming a rigid connection after pouring, which ensures the coordinated stress of the ecological corridor platform and the main structure and avoids the risk of loosening or separation. This design simplifies the installation process, reduces the need for later maintenance, and enhances the earthquake resistance and erosion resistance, making it suitable for long-term use environments.

[0023] In some embodiments, the anchoring component is configured as a bolted rebar, and the ecological corridor platform is fixedly installed to the flood control wall body via the bolted rebar.

[0024] Beneficial effects: Bolted rebar supports allow for modular installation and adjustment of the ecological corridor platform, facilitating later maintenance or replacement and adapting to different site conditions. This design enables rapid construction with minimal damage to existing structures, reducing renovation and maintenance costs, and is suitable for the ecological transformation of existing flood control walls.

[0025] In some embodiments, the erosion protection structure is an erosion protection revetment or a gabion structure made of precast concrete blocks.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The erosion control structure uses precast concrete blocks, which have high strength and durability, effectively resisting water erosion, and are easy to standardize production, resulting in high construction efficiency; the erosion control structure uses gabion structures, which have good permeability and adaptability, can slow down the water flow and prevent foundation erosion, and the gabion structure is conducive to plant growth, which can improve the integrated ecological function.

[0027] In some embodiments, the monitoring unit is one or more of an inclinometer, displacement gauge, or earth pressure cell.

[0028] Beneficial effects: Inclination sensors can detect changes in the tilt of flood control walls, displacement gauges monitor foundation displacement, and earth pressure cells measure soil pressure. Combining multiple data sources can comprehensively assess the stability of scour protection structures and improve early warning accuracy. By monitoring these parameters, abnormal conditions of scour protection structures can be detected in a timely manner, enabling early warning and providing a basis for maintenance and repair.

[0029] In some embodiments, the ecological corridor flood control wall structure further includes an animal guiding component, which is disposed in the surrounding area of ​​the ecological corridor platform;

[0030] The animal guidance component includes an identifier and a railing component. The railing component is fixedly installed with the water barrier, and the identifier is fixedly installed on the upper end of the railing component.

[0031] Beneficial effects: Identification features can attract animals to the ecological corridor platform, while railings combined with water barriers can prevent animals from accidentally falling, thus improving the safety and utilization of the habitat platform. Attached Figure Description

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] The following is combined Figure 1 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an ecological corridor flood control wall structure is provided, including a flood control wall body, an ecological corridor platform, anchoring components, an anti-scour structure, and a monitoring and early warning system. The anchoring components are used to fix the ecological corridor platform to the flood control wall body 13. The anti-scour structure is laid on the riverbed or coast in front of the flood control wall body to reduce the scour of the soil in front of the flood control wall structure by the water flow.

[0039] In this embodiment, the main body of the flood control wall includes several pile foundations 11, a flood control wall base plate 12 set on top of all the pile foundations 11, and a flood control wall body 13 fixedly set on the upper end of the flood control wall base plate 12; the ecological corridor platform is set on the water-facing side of the flood control wall body 13, and the ecological corridor platform includes a habitat platform 21 for animals to inhabit and a water-retaining sill 22 set around the edge of the habitat platform 21.

[0040] This embodiment places the ecological corridor platform on the water-facing side, providing dedicated animal habitat space, effectively connecting the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, alleviating the habitat fragmentation problem caused by traditional flood control walls, and providing resting and roosting places for birds and other animals, thereby promoting biodiversity; the scour-resistant structure is laid on the riverbed or coast to disperse and reduce the scouring force of the water flow, protect the pile foundation 11 from erosion, and extend the service life of the flood control wall structure; the anchoring components ensure a firm connection between the ecological corridor platform and the flood control wall body 13, improving the integrity and seismic resistance of the structure, and avoiding the problem of ecological facilities being disconnected from the main structure.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, the pile foundations 11 are arranged vertically; the pile foundations 11 are arranged in two or more rows at intervals. Two or more rows of pile foundations 11 can distribute the load of the flood control wall, reducing the risk of uneven settlement, and are suitable for soft soil foundations or environments with high water flow impact, thus enhancing the structure's anti-overturning performance. In this scheme, the vertical arrangement and multi-row layout of the pile foundations 11 make the structure more adaptable to changes in riverbed or coastal topography, improving the applicability and durability of the flood control wall structure, and also providing reliable support for the ecological corridor platform.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, each row of pile foundations 11 is arranged at equal intervals along the extension direction of the main body of the flood control wall. The equal interval arrangement can ensure that the pile foundations 11 are subjected to consistent forces, avoid stress concentration, reduce the risk of local damage, and thus improve the stability and seismic resistance of the overall structure. In addition, the equal interval design can facilitate construction control and quality control, reduce construction difficulty and cost, and at the same time ensure the continuity of the flood control wall along the extension direction.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the habitat platform 21, the water retaining wall 22, and the flood control wall 13 together form a semi-enclosed habitat cavity; the ecological corridor platform also includes a water diversion channel 23 that runs through the habitat platform 21, the upper end of the water diversion channel 23 is connected to the habitat cavity, and the lower end extends to be suitable for connecting with the external environment; the water diversion channel 23 can be set as a PVC drainage pipe.

[0044] In this design, the semi-enclosed habitat provides shelter and protection for animals, reducing external disturbances. Meanwhile, the water-retaining embankment 22 prevents direct water flow and enhances the practicality of the habitat platform 21. The water channel 23 connects the habitat to the external environment, allowing for the drainage of accumulated water and impurities. It also promotes material exchange and biological migration between land and water, helping to maintain micro-ecological balance and enhance the functionality of the ecological corridor.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the surface inside the habitat cavity is covered from bottom to top with a mixed layer of gravel and soil, and water-tolerant plants are planted in the mixed layer.

[0046] In this scheme, the mixed layer provides a substrate for plant growth. Water-tolerant plants not only purify water and stabilize soil against erosion, but also provide food and shelter for animals, further attracting biodiversity. The combination of plants and gravel has infiltration and filtration effects, which helps improve local water quality, while buffering the impact of water flow and enhancing the self-sustaining capacity of the ecological corridor.

[0047] In this design, the water-retaining embankment 22 is set on the edge of the perching platform 21 to prevent external rainwater from washing away the soil inside the perching chamber. The gravel placed at the bottom of the soil also helps to prevent soil loss.

[0048] In one specific embodiment, the water channel 23 is inclined in the vertical direction, which can serve the purpose of inclined drainage or ventilation and flow guidance.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the anchoring component is set as a pre-embedded anchoring steel bar 31, and the ecological corridor platform is integrally cast with the flood control wall body 13 through the pre-embedded anchoring steel bar 31. The pre-embedded anchoring steel bar 31 is integrated with the flood control wall body 13 during the construction stage, forming a rigid connection after casting, ensuring the coordinated stress of the ecological corridor platform and the main structure, and avoiding the risk of loosening or separation. This design simplifies the installation process, reduces the need for later maintenance, and enhances the earthquake resistance and erosion resistance, making it suitable for long-term use environments.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the anchoring component is set as a bolted rebar, and the ecological corridor platform is fixed to the flood control wall 13 through the bolted rebar.

[0051] Bolted rebar supports allow for modular installation and adjustment of the ecological corridor platform, facilitating later maintenance or replacement and adapting to different site conditions. This design enables rapid construction with minimal damage to existing structures, reducing renovation and maintenance costs, and is suitable for the ecological transformation of existing flood control walls.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the scour protection structure is an anti-scour revetment made of precast concrete blocks 41, which has high strength and durability, can effectively resist water scour, and is easy to standardize production and has high construction efficiency.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the anti-erosion structure is a gabion structure, which has good permeability and adaptability, can slow down the water flow and prevent the foundation from being eroded, and the gabion structure is conducive to plant growth and can improve the integrated ecological function.

[0054] In a further embodiment, the ecological corridor flood control wall structure also includes an animal guiding component, which is located in the surrounding area of ​​the ecological corridor platform. Specifically, the animal guiding component includes an identifier 51 and a railing 52. The railing 52 is fixedly installed with the flood barrier 22, and the identifier 51 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the railing 52. The identifier 51 can attract animals to the ecological corridor platform, and the railing 52, together with the flood barrier 22, can prevent animals from accidentally falling, thereby improving the safety and utilization rate of the habitat platform 21.

[0055] In this embodiment, the monitoring and early warning system includes a wireless data acquisition and transmission device 61 installed on the flood control wall 13, a plurality of monitoring units 62 installed on the scour prevention structure, and a monitoring application platform 63. The wireless data acquisition and transmission device 61 is used to collect and wirelessly transmit the data of the monitoring units 62 to the monitoring application platform 63. The monitoring application platform 63 is configured to provide early warning information on the safety status of the scour prevention structure based on the received monitoring data.

[0056] The monitoring and early warning system monitors the scour prevention status in real time through wireless data acquisition and transmission equipment 61 and monitoring unit 62, and the monitoring application platform 63 provides feedback on safety early warning information to achieve the purpose of auxiliary monitoring and reduce the operational risks of the flood control wall.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the monitoring unit 62 is one or more of an inclination sensor, a displacement gauge, or an earth pressure cell. The inclination sensor detects changes in the tilt of the flood control wall, the displacement gauge monitors foundation displacement, and the earth pressure cell measures soil pressure. Combining these multiple data sources allows for a comprehensive assessment of the stability of the scour prevention structure, improving early warning accuracy. This parameter monitoring enables timely detection of abnormal states in the scour prevention structure, providing a basis for maintenance and repair.

[0058] The ecological corridor flood control wall structure provided in this embodiment offers habitat and resting space for birds and other animals, promoting the restoration and development of biodiversity. The main body of the flood control wall is robust and reliable, effectively resisting flood impacts and ensuring good stability and resistance to damage. Plants on the ecological corridor platform absorb pollutants from the water, purifying the water and improving the regional ecological environment, resulting in significant ecological benefits. Combined with resilience enhancement measures and drainage and scour prevention designs, the safety of the surrounding area is ensured. The monitoring and early warning system collects data wirelessly through monitoring unit 62 and transmits it to the monitoring application platform 63, enabling safety monitoring and early warning of scour in front of the wall.
