The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0030] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may include the direct contact between the first and second features, or may include the situation where the first and second features are not in direct contact but in contact through other features therebetween. Moreover, the first feature being "above", "over", and "on" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is higher than that of the second feature. The first feature being "below", "under", and "beneath" the second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or merely indicates that the horizontal height of the first feature is lower than that of the second feature.

[0031] The technical solution of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in [drawings not specified in the original text], the angle-fixable geocell provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes a plurality of tendon strips 10 and a plurality of clamping components 20. Among them, at least two tendon strips 10 can enclose to form an accommodating space 101, and the accommodating space 101 is used to accommodate filling materials; a plurality of limiting grooves 21 are axially formed in the clamping component 20, and the limiting grooves 21 extend radially inward from the outer peripheral surface of the clamping component 20 and converge and communicate at the center of the clamping component 20. The clamping component 20 is divided into an upper cover body 201 and a lower cover body 202. The upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 are stacked in sequence along their own height directions and are detachably connected. The plurality of limiting grooves 21 of the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. A part of the same tendon strip 10 can be inserted into the limiting groove 21 of the upper cover body 201, and another part can be inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 21 of the lower cover body 202. The same tendon strip 10 is inserted into at least two clamping components 20.

[0033] Generally speaking, after installation, the clamping component 20 is placed horizontally, the height direction of the clamping component 20 is the vertical direction, and the extending direction of the tendon strip 10 is also the vertical direction. For the convenience of description in combination with the accompanying drawings, the directions in the following text are described in the directions shown in the accompanying drawings, but are not limited thereto.

[0034] Among them, the filling material is generally selected from gravel, soil or concrete, which is convenient to obtain materials, has a low cost, and has high water permeability and erosion resistance.

[0035] Regarding the number of the limiting grooves 21. The number of the limiting grooves 21 of the same clamping component 20 is an even number, and multiple limiting grooves 21 are pairwise centrosymmetric about the axis of the clamping component 20, and two mutually symmetric limiting grooves 21 are located in the same plane. The symmetrically arranged limiting grooves 21 improve the balance and stability of the clamping component 20, enabling the rib belts 10 to be more evenly distributed in force during installation, reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the rib belts 10 caused by uneven force. In addition, the symmetric design of the limiting grooves 21 ensures that each clamping component 20 can evenly disperse stress when subjected to an external force, avoiding the generation of concentrated stress points, thereby enhancing the mechanical properties of the entire geocell.

[0036] Specifically, four limiting grooves 21 are provided, and the included angle between two adjacent limiting grooves 21 is 90 degrees. Thus, through the cooperation of four rib belts 10 and four clamping components 20, a square accommodating space 101 formed by enclosing the four rib belts 10 at a 90-degree angle is formed, enabling each rib belt 10 to be evenly stressed, thereby improving the structural stability of the geocell. The square structure has natural symmetry and stability, can effectively resist external forces, and reduce the risk of deformation and damage. The square accommodating space 101 provides a more uniform support and reinforcement effect, and the filling material can be better distributed and compacted therein, not only improving the density of the filling material, but also enhancing the bearing capacity of the overall structure, and is applicable to various foundation reinforcement and slope protection projects.

[0037] In other embodiments, it can be that two limiting grooves 21 are provided, and the included angle between two adjacent limiting grooves 21 is 180 degrees; or it can be that six limiting grooves 21 are provided, and the included angle between two adjacent limiting grooves 21 is 60 degrees, etc.; the specific number of the limiting grooves 21 is set according to the actual working conditions on site and is not limited herein.

[0038] To facilitate the detachable connection between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, at least one of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 is provided with a positioning protrusion 22, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 23. The positioning protrusion 22 can be snapped into the positioning groove 23. The mutual snapping of the positioning protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 23 effectively ensures the precise alignment of the positions of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 during assembly, improves the assembly accuracy, and avoids assembly instability and structural looseness caused by position deviation, thereby ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the geocell. In addition, the snap-fit design of the positioning protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 23 enhances the connection strength between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, enabling them to remain stable and not fall off when subjected to external forces in the horizontal direction. This not only improves the structural stability at the joints but also enhances the anti-deformation ability of the geocell in various construction environments. Moreover, the design of the positioning protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 23 makes the assembly process of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 simple and efficient. When operating on-site, the operator only needs to align the positioning protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 23 for snap-fitting to quickly complete the assembly, reducing the construction adjustment time and operation complexity and improving the construction efficiency. In other embodiments, the connection between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 can be set as bolt connection, snap connection, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0039] In this embodiment, the positioning protrusion 22 is set as a cylindrical shape, and the positioning groove 23 is set as a cylindrical groove matching it, so as to ensure that the positioning protrusion 22 can be snapped into the positioning groove 23 to achieve a stable connection between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202. In other embodiments, the positioning protrusion 22 can also be set as a cuboid shape, a spherical shape or an irregular shape, etc. At this time, the positioning groove 23 should be adaptively set as a shape matching the positioning protrusion 22. The shapes of the positioning protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 23 are not limited herein, as long as the two can be snap-fitted.

[0040] Specifically, both the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are provided with the positioning protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 23. By providing both the positioning protrusion 22 and the positioning groove 23 on the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, double positioning is achieved, thereby further improving the alignment accuracy during their assembly and ensuring that each connection point can be accurately positioned. Moreover, it increases the connection points between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 to form multiple fixations, which not only improves the connection strength but also enhances the anti-shear and anti-tensile abilities of the entire geocell, further enhancing its load-bearing capacity and durability in various construction environments.

[0041] See Figure 3 and Figure 4, Further, both the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are provided with two positioning protrusions 22 and two positioning grooves 23. The positioning protrusions 22 and the positioning grooves 23 are arranged alternately along the circumferences of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, and the positioning protrusions 22 and the positioning grooves 23 are centrosymmetric in pairs about the axis of the clamping assembly 20. The included angle between adjacent positioning protrusions 22 and positioning grooves 23 is 90 degrees. Through the above design, during the installation process, only one of the components needs to be rotated 90 degrees around the axis of the clamping assembly 20, so that the positioning protrusions 22 and the positioning grooves 23 of the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 can be correspondingly clamped, making the installation process more intuitive and simple, without complex adjustment and alignment, improving the construction efficiency and reducing the possibility of installation errors.

[0042] Furthermore, both the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 are cylindrical and have the same radius. Thus, the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 can be designed as completely identical components. During production, only one type of mold needs to be made to meet the production requirements, reducing the costs of mold making and maintenance, and lowering the production complexity and costs. They can be interchanged during use. When a damaged component needs to be replaced, there is no need to distinguish between the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202, and only the same component needs to be taken, simplifying the spare parts management, reducing the types of inventory, and improving the efficiency of replacement and maintenance. In addition, the uniformly designed upper cover 201 and lower cover 202 can be quickly installed without distinguishing the component type and direction, shortening the construction time, reducing possible delays during the construction process, and improving the overall construction efficiency and quality. In other embodiments, the upper cover 201 and the lower cover 202 can also be selected as a cuboid or other irregular geometric shapes to meet the requirements of different construction scenarios, which are not limited herein.

[0043] The height of the limiting groove 21 on the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 is both half of the height of the rib band 10. This not only facilitates the design of the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 as completely identical components, and only one type of mold needs to be made during production to meet the production requirements. At the same time, the height of the limiting groove 21 being half of the height of the rib band 10 enables the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 to jointly cover half of each rib band 10, so as to better fix the rib band 10 during clamping, enhance the stability of the rib band 10 at the node, prevent the rib band 10 from sliding or falling off when subjected to external forces, and thus improve the overall structural stability of the geocell. And it enables the rib bands 10 at each node to be evenly stressed, avoiding deformation and rupture caused by a single component bearing excessive stress. The upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 jointly support the rib band 10, evenly disperse the stress, optimize the overall mechanical properties of the geocell, and improve its load-bearing capacity and durability in various complex construction environments. In other embodiments, the heights of the limiting grooves 21 on the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 can also be set differently. For example, the height of the limiting groove 21 on the upper cover body 201 is one-third of the height of the rib band 10, and the height of the limiting groove 21 on the lower cover body 202 is two-thirds of the height of the rib band 10, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0044] In addition, the materials of the upper cover body 201 and the lower cover body 202 can be plastic resin, metal, etc. The plastic resin material has good corrosion resistance and lightness, and is suitable for engineering projects exposed to the natural environment for a long time; the metal material has higher strength and durability, and is suitable for application scenarios that need to bear large loads and harsh environments. The specific material is adaptively selected according to the actual working conditions and on-site conditions, which are not limited herein.

[0045] Two clamping components 20 are provided corresponding to each rib band 10, and the two clamping components 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the rib band 10. This can not only save costs, but also evenly disperse the stress received by the rib band 10 during construction and use, improve the connection strength at the node, reduce the stress concentration and damage risk at the node, and extend the service life of the geocell. In other embodiments, three, four or more clamping components 20 can also be provided corresponding to each rib band 10. In addition to being connected to the two ends of the rib band 10, the clamping components 20 can also be connected to the middle of the rib band 10, which will not be elaborated herein.

[0046] Regarding the rib band 10. A plurality of through holes are formed in the rib band 10, and the plurality of through holes are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the rib band 10. The plurality of through holes on the rib band 10 enable the moisture in the filling material to be quickly discharged, avoiding the problems of structural instability and corrosion caused by water accumulation. At the same time, the setting of the through holes also improves the air permeability of the geocell, helps to keep the filling material dry and stable, and enhances the durability of the overall structure. It can be understood that the shape of the through holes can be circular holes, diamond-shaped holes, square holes, etc., which are not limited herein.

[0047] In this embodiment, the material of the rib band 10 can be plastic resin material, geotextile or non-woven fabric, and these materials have good durability and corrosion resistance. The production method of the rib band 10 can be pressing, injection molding, blow molding or vacuum molding. These methods can select the most suitable process according to different materials to ensure the quality and performance of the rib band 10. Pressing and injection molding processes are suitable for high-strength plastic resin rib bands 10, while blow molding and vacuum forming are more suitable for soft geotextiles and non-woven fabrics. It can be understood that the material and production method of the rib band 10 need to be adaptively selected according to the on-site working conditions, which are not limited herein.

[0048] The above embodiments only illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present invention. The present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention has various changes and modifications, and these changes and modifications all fall within the scope of the present invention claimed.
