Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of ecological slope protection, and specifically relates to an ecological brick and an ecological slope protection. Background Art

[0002] On the slopes of roads such as railways, highways and rivers, corresponding slope protection facilities should be built to prevent the slopes of the relevant roads from collapsing, scouring, soil erosion and other hazards. The existing prefabricated hollow hexagonal blocks are a commonly used slope protection brick body, which is laid together to form a slope protection, and the empty area in the middle of the brick body is used to provide a space for planting vegetation. However, the technical problems of this brick body are: the brick bodies are only placed together, the connection between the brick bodies is not stable enough, the stability is poor, and the prefabricated block structure is too simple, the roughness and porosity are not high, so there is a serious soil loss phenomenon within 1 to 3 years after the construction is completed. In addition, in the current slope protection components, the interior of each brick body is isolated from each other due to the division of the external frame, there is no exchange of water and substances, which is not conducive to the growth of vegetation, and although the interior of the hexagonal block is filled with ecological concrete, it still cannot meet the root growth of larger vegetation, and the types of vegetation that can be planted are single and limited.

[0003] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN213417732U discloses a slot-type regular hexagonal ecological brick and ecological slope protection. The structure connects adjacent bricks by setting grooves on the brick body and using locking rods, and can be embedded in the soil, thereby strengthening the connection between bricks and between bricks and soil, and improving the overall stability of the slope protection.

[0004] However, the above technical solution has the following defects: although such ecological bricks strengthen the connection between the brick body and the soil, they penetrate deep into the soil to seal the brick body, and there are no drainage holes between the brick bodies. Therefore, rainwater in the vegetation trough cannot be discharged in time, which can easily lead to water accumulation and cause plant root rot.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to deepen the understanding of the overall background technology of the present application, and should not be regarded as acknowledging or suggesting in any form that the information constitutes the prior art already known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides an ecological brick, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a brick body 1, the outer contour of the brick body 1 is a regular hexagon, and the center of the brick body 1 is a regular hexagonal hollow structure 4, which serves as a vegetation area;

[0039] The hollow structure 4 is provided with a soil filling and planting assembly 5, which is used to divide the hollow structure 4 and lay the soil required for different types of vegetation;

[0040] A drainage groove 7 is provided at the center of the bottom of each side of the brick body 1, and the drainage grooves 7 on adjacent sides of adjacent brick bodies 1 are connected to exchange water between brick bodies or to drain rainwater in time to prevent water accumulation;

[0041] The hexagonal positions at the bottom of the brick body 1 are respectively provided with pointed protrusions 6 for inserting into the slope protection soil.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the soil filling planting component 5 includes a box-like structure 51 with an opening at the bottom and a removable covering film 53 on the top, wherein drainage holes 54 are opened on the side of the box-like structure 51, the interior of the box-like structure 51 is used to fill the soil, and the hollow structure 4 outside the box-like structure 51 is used to lay ecological concrete.

[0044] Furthermore, the soil filling and planting assembly 5 also includes a connecting structure 52 for fixing the box-shaped structure 51 to the brick body 1 .

[0045] More specifically, there are four connection structures 52 , each of which has one end connected to an outer corner of the box-shaped structure 51 and the other end connected to an inner corner of the brick body 1 .

[0046] In some possible embodiments, both the box-like structure 51 and the hollow structure 4 outside the box-like structure are used to lay vegetation, and different types of vegetation can be laid respectively.

Therefore, after the plant grows to a certain stage, the soil filling planting component 5 will completely degrade it. The organic matter produced by the degradation of the soil filling planting component 5 can be used as fertilizer for the plant, further promoting the growth of vegetation in the brick body.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a connected transverse groove 2 and a vertical groove 3 are provided at the center position of each edge of the brick body 1, wherein the transverse groove 2 is provided on the upper surface of the brick body 1 and arranged along the width direction of each edge, and the vertical groove 3 is provided on the inner side surface of the brick body 1 and arranged along the height direction of each edge, and the transverse groove 2 and the vertical groove 3 on each edge form an L-shaped slot.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, each of the brick bodies 1 is provided with six transverse grooves 2 and six vertical grooves 3. Each transverse groove 2 is provided on the upper surface of the brick body 1, and its length is equal to the width of the side of the brick body 1, its height is one-fourth of the thickness of the brick body 1, and its width is one-fifth of the length of the outer side of the brick body 1. Each vertical groove 2 is provided on the inner side of the brick body 1, connecting the transverse groove 2 of the brick body 1 with the drainage groove 7, and its length is one-third of the width of the side of the brick body, its height is one-third of the thickness of the brick body, and its width is the same as the transverse groove, which is one-fifth of the length of the outer side of the brick body 1. The transverse groove 2 and the vertical groove 3 are both provided at the center of each side of the brick body 1.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, adjacent brick bodies 1 are embedded in the L-shaped slot via a U-shaped buckle 8, wherein the U-shaped buckle 8 includes a first portion 9 arranged horizontally and two second portions 10 arranged vertically, and a second portion 10 is vertically arranged at each end of the first portion 9; the U-shaped buckle 8 matches the L-shaped slot, and the length of the first portion 9 is twice the length of the horizontal groove 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the vertical length of the second portion 10 is not greater than the vertical length of the vertical groove 3. In this embodiment, the vertical length of the second portion 10 is equal to the vertical length of the vertical groove 3.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the U-shaped buckle 8 includes a horizontal bar 9 and a vertical bar 10. The horizontal bar 9 is embedded in the corresponding horizontal groove 1, and the vertical bar 10 is embedded in the corresponding vertical groove 2. The U-shaped buckle 8 is used to be inserted into the horizontal groove 2 and the vertical groove 3 of the aligned edges of adjacent brick bodies 1 at the same time.

[0053] In some possible embodiments, the length of the horizontal bar 9 of the U-shaped buckle 8 is twice the length of the horizontal groove 2, the height is equal to the height of the horizontal groove 2, and the width is equal to the width of the horizontal groove 2. The length of the vertical bar 10 of the U-shaped buckle 8 is the same as the length of the vertical groove 3, the height is the same as the height of the vertical groove 3, and the width is the same as the width of the vertical groove 3.

[0054] Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides an ecological slope protection, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it is formed by paving and splicing the above-mentioned ecological bricks, and the drainage grooves 7 under the aligned edges of two adjacent brick bodies 1 are connected.

[0055] In some embodiments, the tip protrusions 6 of three adjacent brick bodies 1 together form a triangular pyramid protrusion 11, making the structure inserted into the slope protection soil more stable. The three adjacent tip protrusions 6 together form a triangular pyramid protrusion 11, and the three parts are close to each other to transmit force, making the overall structure more reasonably stressed, and making the connection between the slope protection and the soil more stable.

[0056] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, during construction, first lay the brick body 1 in an array on the slope. When laying the brick body 1, its tip protrusion 6 is deeply inserted into the slope protection soil to make it tightly connected. The standard of tight connection is that each edge of the tip protrusion 6 of the three adjacent brick bodies 1 can be close to each other, and the three adjacent tip protrusions 6 are inserted into the slope protection soil to form a triangular pyramid protrusion 11. After the laying is completed, insert the U-shaped buckle 8 on the two aligned edges of the adjacent brick bodies 1 so that the U-shaped buckle 8 is tightly embedded in the horizontal groove 2 and the vertical groove 3. Among them, the cross bar 9 of the U-shaped buckle 8 is embedded in the corresponding horizontal groove 2, and the vertical bar 10 of the U-shaped buckle 8 is embedded in the corresponding vertical groove 3. After the U-shaped buckle 8 is inserted, the brick body is connected to the fill planting component. The connection structure 52 around the fill planting component 5 can match the connection of the inner side of the brick body 1. When connecting, the connection structure 52 is placed at the corresponding four inner side connections to insert the fill planting component. At this point, the overall structure is laid. Figure 4The picture shows the effect after laying is completed, and the corresponding positions of each device can be checked.

[0057] The following introduces a preferred method for rapid filling and paving and vegetation planting. After the brick structure is laid, the ecological concrete can be directly and evenly poured on the slope protection surface. Because the upper part of the box-like structure 51 is covered with a film 53, the ecological concrete cannot be filled into the box-like structure 51, but all enters the hollow structure 4 outside the box-like structure. Level the ecological concrete. After the ecological concrete is filled, the film 53 of the box-like structure can be poked open, and different types of soil can be filled in the box-like structure 51. At this point, the soil is filled, and the two different soils in the brick body can be planted with different types of vegetation, respectively, which has both ecological and landscape benefits. The presence of the film 53 greatly speeds up the construction speed.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the drainage groove 7 reserved at the center of the six sides has a width of one-fifth of the length of the outer side of the brick body 1, a height of one-quarter of the thickness of the brick body, and a length of the width of the side of the brick body 1, and runs through the inner and outer sides of the brick body 1. After paving, the drainage groove 7 under the U-shaped buckle 8 is used to strengthen the circulation of water between bricks and timely discharge rainwater, which can promote the growth of vegetation.

[0059] The above embodiments and illustrations do not limit the product form and style of the present application. Any appropriate changes or modifications made thereto by a person of ordinary skill in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present application.
