[0002] In the fields of civil engineering, soil and water conservation, and ecological restoration, geocells, as an important engineering material, are widely used in soil reinforcement, vegetation restoration, slope stabilization and other projects. Traditional geocells are usually composed of a single or multiple cell pieces, and the cell pieces are connected to each other through connecting nodes to form an overall structure. However, in actual application, the cell node is the key part connecting the cell pieces, and its firmness is directly related to the stability and service life of the entire geocell.

[0003] Traditional cell node connection methods often have problems such as loose connection, easy fracture or falling off under stress. Especially in the face of complex terrain, harsh environment or long-term external force, damage to the node often becomes the cause of failure of the entire geocell structure. Therefore, how to improve the connection firmness of the cell node and ensure its stability and durability under various conditions of use has become a key issue that needs to be solved in the current development of geocell technology. Utility Model Content

In order to facilitate the unfolding of the first cell sheet 1 and the second cell sheet 2 into a net shape, the number of times the first cell sheet 1 and the second cell sheet 2 are folded back can be limited to an even number, so that the two ends of the folded first cell sheet 1 / second cell sheet 2 are respectively located at both ends of the folding area. Specifically, reference can be made to Figures 1 to 2 , the first cell sheet 1 and the second cell sheet 2 are folded back twice to form a Z-shaped folding area.

[0032] In one embodiment, the connecting device 3 can specifically be any one of a clip 21 structure, a plug-in structure (specifically, a structure that is plugged and fixed in the folding area through plug-in parts such as pins and U-shaped nails so that the first cell sheet 1 and the second cell sheet 2 are connected), or a sewing structure (a structure that directly sews and connects the first cell sheet 1 and the second cell sheet 2 in the folding area).

[0033] In one embodiment, the clip 21 structure includes a pair of clips 21 and a connecting piece 22. Among them, the clips 21 are respectively located on both sides of the folding area of the first cell sheet 1 and the second cell sheet 2; the connecting piece 22 is arranged on the clip 21, and the connecting piece 22 locks the clip 21 so that the clip 21 clamps and fixes the folding area of the first cell sheet 1 and the second cell sheet 2.
