[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the present utility model provides a ultra-high performance concrete flower box, which includes a flower box frame made of ultra-high performance concrete, and side plates 1 are arranged around the flower box frame;
[0026] The flower box frame includes a frame body 2, a top frame 3 and a support part 4. The bottom of the frame body 2 is closed, decorative patterns 5 are provided on the side walls, and an opening is provided at the top; the top frame 3 is arranged at the top opening of the frame body 2; the support part 4 is arranged at the bottom of the frame body 2, and the support part 4 includes a pair of oppositely arranged straight plates 41 and a pair of oppositely arranged inverted U-shaped plates 42;
[0027] The side plates 1 are arranged on the side walls of the frame body 2.
[0028] In this embodiment, the flower box frame is made of ultra-high performance concrete, abbreviated as UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete), which has two aspects of "ultra-high". One is ultra-high durability, and the other is ultra-high mechanical properties. The flower box frame made of UHPC usually has a strength of more than 150 MPa, which is much higher than that of ordinary concrete. The UHPC material has the characteristics of low porosity and high density. The flower box frame made of UHPC can effectively prevent corrosive media from entering the interior, thereby improving its corrosion resistance and being more suitable for the growth environment of flowers and plants.
[0029] The top of the flower box frame is the top frame 3. The top frame 3 is designed in a double-square structure. The relatively wide width can well cover the side wall of the frame body 2, which can block the flower mud inside to a certain extent and reduce the overflow of the flower mud. A pair of straight plates 41 are provided at the bottom support part 4. The bottom of the straight plate 41 is directly in contact with the ground. The inverted U-shaped plate 42 is connected to the straight plate 41, and the U-shaped groove part can be used for drainage to avoid water accumulation at the bottom. Compared with the structure of the traditional flower box with feet provided at the four corners, the contact surface between the support part 4 of the present utility model and the ground is large, which can provide better support, reduce the probability of collapse, and at the same time, the inverted U-shaped plate 42 can also provide good ventilation and drainage.
[0030] In this embodiment, the four sides of the flower box frame are blocked by the side plates 1. The side plates 1 can be made of the same material as the flower box frame or other materials according to needs. The side plates 1 and the flower box frame can either adopt an integrally formed structure or a split installation structure, which is highly flexible in use and can be configured individually according to different use scenarios to achieve more functions.
[0031] Preferably, the flower box frame is of an integrally formed structure.
[0032] Preferably, reinforcing ribs are provided inside the flower box frame. In this embodiment, the flower box frame is made of ultra-high performance concrete. In order to further improve the structural strength, reinforcing ribs can be provided inside. The combination of the reinforcing rib network and the ultra-high performance concrete can achieve higher tensile strength, thereby improving the strength of the flower box frame.
[0033] Preferably, the reinforcing ribs are mesh cloth, and the mesh cloth is fiberglass cloth or nylon cloth. In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs are in a criss-cross grid-like structure, specifically mesh cloth, and the mesh cloth can be fiberglass cloth or nylon cloth. When manufacturing the flower box frame, the mesh cloth is placed in the ultra-high performance concrete. The mesh cloth can be easily made into various shapes to adapt to the processing and manufacturing requirements of the flower box frame, and the grid-like structure can also contact more ultra-high performance concrete.
[0034] Preferably, the mesh cloth comprises two layers, namely a first mesh layer 6 and a second mesh layer 7, and there is a certain distance between the first mesh layer 6 and the second mesh layer 7. Please refer to Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the mesh cloth adopts a double-layer structure, and there is a certain gap between the two layers of mesh cloth.
[0035] Preferably, fiber strips 8 are mixed between the first mesh layer 6 and the second mesh layer 7. Please refer to Figure 4 , in order to further improve the structural strength, fiber strips 8 are arranged between the first mesh layer 6 and the second mesh layer 7 in this embodiment. The fiber strips 8 can be directly added to the ultra-high performance concrete mixture to prepare a fiber mixture, and then the fiber mixture is injected between the first mesh layer 6 and the second mesh layer 7 to obtain a flower box frame with better performance.
[0036] Preferably, the fiber strip 8 is a copolymerized formaldehyde fiber strip 8. The copolymerized formaldehyde fiber strip 8, also known as the POM fiber strip 8, has high strength and high modulus, is resistant to organic solvents and salt solutions, is resistant to strong alkali corrosion and weather resistance, and its breaking strength is higher than that of most common fibers. Compared with other common synthetic organic fibers, the copolymerized formaldehyde fiber strip 8 has better dispersibility and lower air entrainment, can be directly added to the concrete mixture to prepare a mixture, has higher processing fluidity, and can also improve the concrete mixing effect and reduce the mixing time.
[0037] Preferably, the side plate 1 is a transparent glass plate or a matte glass plate. In this embodiment, the side plate 1 can be selected according to the use scenario. For example, in some scenarios where the internal growth structure needs to be observed, such as botanical gardens, science and technology parks, etc., a transparent glass plate can be used as the side plate 1, or a processed roof glass plate can be used to improve the visual effect. The transparent glass plate or the matte glass plate can be directly placed into the flower box frame, and then bonded through an adhesive material. Under the action of the adhesive material and the flower mud, the side plate 1 can be stably connected to the flower box frame and has good waterproof performance.
[0038] Furthermore, an installation groove can be provided in the flower box frame to facilitate the installation of the side plate 1 into the flower box frame better.
[0039] Preferably, the side plate 1 is a concrete plate precast with ultra-high performance concrete, and the side plate 1 and the flower box frame are of an integrally formed structure. In this embodiment, the side plate 1 and the flower box frame are also precast parts of ultra-high performance concrete, and the two are of an integrally formed structure, which are integrally formed through a mold during the precast stage.
[0040] Preferably, a lapping member is provided on one side of the flower box frame, and a lock catch cooperating with the lapping member is provided on the opposite side; multiple flower box frames can be spliced and connected through the lapping member and the lock catch. In this embodiment, for the convenience of splicing, the lapping member is provided on one side, and the lock catch into which the lapping member can be inserted is provided on the other side. When two adjacent flower boxes are spliced, the lapping member of one flower box is inserted into the lock catch of the other flower box, and the splicing can be completed. The lapping member, the lock catch and the flower box frame are of an integrally formed structure and are made of ultra-high performance concrete, which has high structural strength and can maintain a stable connection effect for a long time after splicing.
