Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of turf laying, in particular to an ecological turf unit with a water storage structure. Background Art

[0002] Laying lawns in the yards, large platforms, roofs and other places of buildings is a relatively advanced landscape concept. Lawns can absorb noise and reduce the impact on surrounding residents. At the same time, the plants on the lawn can reduce the temperature through transpiration, which helps to reduce the heat loss of the building and achieve the effect of heat preservation and energy saving. Planting lawns can beautify the surrounding environment of buildings, improve the urban landscape, create a natural and harmonious atmosphere, and make people feel the charm of nature.

[0003] However, despite the many advantages of lawns, the traditional method of laying turf has many inconveniences. This method usually requires complex waterproofing before laying, including laying a waterproof layer on large platforms, roofs, etc., and then covering it with soil and gravel before laying the turf. In addition, the subsequent maintenance of the turf is also quite cumbersome, requiring regular watering, mowing and care. What's more serious is that over time, the waterproof layer may be damaged, causing water seepage under the lawn, which not only affects the normal growth of the lawn, but also poses a potential threat to the building structure.

[0004] Therefore, in order to overcome the various drawbacks of traditional lawn laying methods, we urgently need to design a new type of ecological turf unit. This unit should have a water storage structure, and the lawn can be laid through simple splicing to simplify the laying process and reduce the difficulty of later maintenance. At the same time, it should also have stronger waterproof performance to ensure the long-term healthy growth of the lawn and the safe use of the building. This innovative design will promote the wider application of lawn landscape in urban buildings. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide an ecological turf unit with a water storage structure to solve the problems described in the background technology.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0007] An ecological turf unit with a water storage structure comprises a rectangular box body with an opening at the upper end, water tanks are fixedly arranged on the side walls at the four corners of the box body, the bottoms of adjacent water tanks on the same side wall of the box body are also connected by a water pipe, a capillary network composed of a plurality of capillaries is also arranged in the box body, the capillary network is connected with the four water tanks, a plurality of capillary holes are also arranged on the tube wall of the capillary tube, a through hole connected with the side wall of the box body is also arranged on the side wall of the water tank, a sealing ring is arranged in the through hole, a connecting pipe is inserted in the sealing ring for sliding sealing, a soil layer covering the capillary network is laid at the bottom of the box body, a gravel layer is laid above the soil layer, turf is laid above the gravel layer, and a water inlet is arranged on the top of one of the four water tanks.

[0008] When using the above solution, the box body is first prepared in the factory, and the soil layer, gravel layer and turf are laid in the box body in sequence, and the turf is slightly higher than the top of the box body. Then, the boxes are placed in rows next to each other in the factory, and the turf units are initially maintained in the factory. When the turf successfully grows in the soil in the turf unit, the turf unit can be transported to the construction unit.

[0009] After the turf units are delivered to the construction unit, they are moved one by one to the corresponding preset positions. The rectangular box body facilitates the rapid merging and splicing of the turf units during splicing, which is convenient for calculating the overall area, the amount of turf units, etc. The through holes on the side walls of the box bodies between adjacent turf units are connected by connecting pipes, so that the water tanks of adjacent turf units can be connected. The through holes on the box bodies of the turf units at the edges are blocked with plugs to prevent water leakage. When all the turf units are spliced, the water tanks in all the turf units are connected to each other through connecting pipes and water pipes. Water can be filled from the water inlet on one water tank to fill all the water tanks. When maintenance is required at ordinary times, water is poured into the water inlet of any water tank. Under the action of water pressure and capillary action, the capillary network is filled with water. When the soil layer in the turf unit is dry, the water in the water tank passes through the capillary network and the capillary pores on the capillary tubes to continuously and evenly inject water into the soil in the turf unit, keeping the soil moist, thereby reducing the difficulty of later maintenance. At the same time, all materials are confined in the box to prevent water leakage. At the same time, if the turf on some turf units is necrotic, it can be quickly repaired by replacing the turf units.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the water tank comprises a box body with an opening at the upper end, and also comprises a box cover which is detachably arranged on the box body opening, and the water filling port is arranged on the box cover.

[0011] When the above solution is used, by providing a box body with a detachable box cover, when the turf units are connected to each other by connecting pipes, the plugging operation of the connecting pipes is more convenient.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the water tank is a rectangular box body, and two side walls of the water tank are respectively connected to two adjacent inner side walls of the box body.

[0013] By setting the water tank as a rectangular box, the connection between the water tank and the inside of the box is neater and more convenient, and the laying of turf at the inner edge of the box is easier to align the edge of the box and the water tank.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the capillaries of the capillary network are divided into side capillaries and inner capillaries, the two ends of the side capillaries are connected to two water tanks on the same side wall of the box body, the two water tanks on the same side wall of the box body are connected by at least one side capillary, and the two ends of the inner capillary are connected to the two side capillaries.

[0015] A further technical solution is that artificial turf is also provided on the top of the water tank.

[0016] When the above solution is used, artificial turf is arranged on the top of the water tank, so that the water tank is not directly exposed to the sight, and the lawn composed of turf units is more beautiful.

[0017] A further technical solution is that a water injection cover is provided at the water injection port.

[0018] A further technical solution is that the water pipe is a rectangular pipe, the bottom wall of the water pipe abuts against the bottom wall of the box body, and one side wall of the water pipe abuts against the inner wall of the box body.

[0019] When using the above solution, the rectangular water pipe and the setting method can avoid the formation of dead corners in the soil, making it easier to clean the soil during later maintenance.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0021] 1. Factory prefabrication: The turf unit is prefabricated in the factory, including laying the soil layer, gravel layer and turf, and performing preliminary maintenance. This ensures the quality and consistency of the turf unit, reduces the complexity of on-site construction, and simplifies the workflow on the construction site.

[0022] 2. Easy to transport and install: Prefabricated turf units can be easily transported to the construction site and quickly moved to the preset position for splicing. The rectangular box design makes the merging and splicing between units simple and efficient, and it is also easy to calculate the overall area and determine the amount of turf units.

[0023] 3. Efficient water management system: The water tanks between adjacent turf units are interconnected through connecting pipes, forming a unified water management system. This allows all water tanks to be filled from the water inlet on one water tank, simplifying the watering operation during maintenance. At the same time, the capillary network design achieves continuous and uniform soil watering, keeps the soil moist, and reduces the difficulty of later maintenance.

[0024] 4. Water-proof design: All materials are confined in the box, effectively preventing water leakage. The through holes on the box of the turf unit at the edge are blocked with plugs, further enhancing the water-proof effect.

[0025] 5. Easy maintenance and repair: When the turf on some turf units is necrotic, it can be repaired by quickly replacing the turf units without the need to renovate the entire lawn. This greatly reduces maintenance costs and time, and also avoids the large-scale spread of infectious diseases.

[0026] 6. Aesthetics: By setting up artificial turf to cover the top of the water tank, the water tank is not directly exposed to the sight, which improves the aesthetics of the lawn made up of turf units. At the same time, the rectangular box and water tank design also helps to achieve neat edge alignment, enhancing the overall visual effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
