Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water conservancy projects and river management, and specifically to an urban river embankment reinforcement structure. Background Art

[0002] Traditional dam reinforcement methods mainly include adding slope protection, raising and thickening the dam. These methods can improve the stability of the dam to a certain extent, but their effects are often limited when faced with extreme weather and long-term water erosion.

[0003] At present, common dam reinforcement methods often use hard materials for protection, which are easily damaged by water erosion, thus affecting the overall stability of the dam. Existing technologies often ignore the protection of river ecosystems. The widespread use of hard materials has destroyed the original ecological environment of the river and is not conducive to the survival and reproduction of aquatic organisms. At the same time, hard materials are difficult to repair after damage and have high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present application provides an urban river embankment reinforcement structure with advantages such as easy maintenance, which solves the problems raised in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present application provides the following technical solutions: an urban river embankment reinforcement structure, comprising a slope, wherein a plurality of ecological slope protection modules are provided on the upper surface of the slope, each of the ecological slope protection modules comprising a support frame, a soil retention layer, and a vegetation planting soil layer;

[0006] The soil retention layer is located at the inner bottom end of the support frame, and the vegetation planting soil layer is located above the soil retention layer;

[0007] Each of the support frames is anchored to the slope body through a plurality of anchor bolts. The top and bottom of each support frame are fixedly connected to a connecting frame. The top and bottom of the slope body are provided with connecting belts, which are made of flexible material. Each connecting belt is plugged into the connecting frame adjacent to it.

[0008] The water-facing end of the slope is provided with a plurality of anti-scouring plates, and a drip irrigation pipe is fixedly connected between each of the connecting frames at the top and the adjacent bottom connecting frames, and a group of drip irrigation holes are opened on the outer surface of each drip irrigation pipe.

[0009] Through the above scheme, by introducing the ecological slope protection module, the structure not only realizes the reinforcement of the embankment, but also promotes the restoration of the river ecosystem. The vegetation planting soil layer provides a habitat and food source for aquatic organisms, enhancing biodiversity. At the same time, the roots of the vegetation are closely integrated with the soil retention layer, effectively preventing soil erosion and improving the stability of the embankment. Combined with the anti-scour board made of high-strength polypropylene material, the embankment's anti-scour and corrosion resistance are significantly improved. The intelligent irrigation system of humidity sensors, solenoid valves and control hosts can monitor the humidity of vegetation in real time and perform precise irrigation as needed. This not only saves water resources, but also reduces labor maintenance costs. Due to the modular setting of the ecological slope protection module, it can be easily maintained.

[0010] Furthermore, a water supply pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the slope, the top of each drip irrigation pipe is fixedly connected to the water supply pipe, and one end of the water supply pipe is connected to an external pump body.

[0011] Through the above solution, by setting up the water supply pipe, water can be provided for multiple drip irrigation pipes.

[0012] Furthermore, the soil retention layer is a composite structure, with the bottom layer being a gravel layer with good water permeability and the upper layer being a fine sand layer.

[0013] Through the above scheme and the above settings, the gravel layer and the fine sand layer can effectively filter and slow down the water flow rate, preventing soil erosion.

[0014] Furthermore, the two connecting belts are fixedly connected to the slope through a plurality of bolts.

[0015] Through the above solution and the above arrangement, the purpose of fixing the connecting belt can be achieved.

[0016] Furthermore, each of the anti-scour plates is made of scour-resistant material, specifically high-strength polypropylene material.

[0017] The above solution is manufactured through an injection molding process. This material not only has excellent impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, but also maintains stable structural strength during long-term use. With this configuration, the anti-scour plate can effectively resist water scour and erosion, protecting the dam foundation from damage and extending the dam's service life.

[0018] Furthermore, a humidity sensor is installed inside each of the vegetation planting soil layers.

[0019] Through the above scheme, by setting the humidity sensor, the purpose of humidity monitoring of each ecological slope protection module can be achieved.

[0020] Furthermore, a solenoid valve is installed at the top of each drip irrigation pipe.

[0021] Through the above scheme, by setting the solenoid valve, it is possible to control the passage of each drip irrigation pipe, and then perform reasonable drip irrigation according to the humidity of each ecological slope protection module.

[0022] Furthermore, a control host is installed at one end of the slope, and the solenoid valve, the external pump body and the humidity sensor are all electrically connected to the control host.

[0023] Through the above solution, the purpose of controlling the electrical components can be achieved by controlling the settings of the host.

[0024] Compared with the existing technology, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] This urban river embankment reinforcement structure introduces an ecological slope protection module, which not only strengthens the embankment but also promotes the restoration of the river ecosystem. The vegetation planting soil layer provides a habitat and food source for aquatic organisms, enhancing biodiversity. At the same time, the roots of the vegetation are closely integrated with the soil retention layer, effectively preventing soil erosion and improving the stability of the embankment. The anti-scour plate made of high-strength polypropylene material significantly improves the embankment's anti-scour and corrosion resistance. The intelligent irrigation system of humidity sensors, solenoid valves and control hosts can monitor the humidity of vegetation in real time and perform precise irrigation as needed, which not only saves water resources but also reduces labor maintenance costs. The modular setting of the ecological slope protection module makes maintenance easy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Each ecological slope protection module 2 includes a support frame 201, a soil retention layer 202, and a vegetation planting soil layer 203. The soil retention layer 202 is located at the inner bottom end of the support frame 201, and the vegetation planting soil layer 203 is located above the soil retention layer 202.

[0034] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 Each support frame 201 is anchored to the slope body 1 through a plurality of anchor bolts. The top and bottom of each support frame 201 are fixedly connected to a connecting frame 3. The top and bottom of the slope body 1 are provided with a connecting belt 4. The connecting belt 4 is made of flexible material. Each connecting belt 4 is plugged into the connecting frame 3 adjacent to it. Through the setting of the connecting belt 4, multiple ecological slope protection modules 2 can be connected together. The two connecting belts 4 are fixedly connected to the slope body 1 through a plurality of bolts. Through the above setting, the purpose of fixing the connecting belt 4 can be achieved.

[0035] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water-facing end of the slope 1 is provided with multiple anti-scour plates 5, and a drip irrigation pipe 6 is fixedly connected between each connecting frame 3 at the top and the bottom connecting frame 3 adjacent to it. A group of drip irrigation holes 7 are opened on the outer surface of each drip irrigation pipe 6. Through the above arrangement, it is convenient to irrigate the vegetation. A water supply pipe 8 is fixedly installed at the top of the slope 1. The top of each drip irrigation pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the water supply pipe 8, and one end of the water supply pipe 8 is connected to the external pump body. Through the arrangement of the water supply pipe 8, water can be provided for multiple drip irrigation pipes 6.

[0036] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3Each anti-scour plate 5 is made of an scour-resistant material, specifically high-strength polypropylene, manufactured through an injection molding process. This material not only exhibits excellent impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, but also maintains stable structural strength during long-term use. Through this configuration, the anti-scour plate 5 can effectively resist water scour and erosion, protecting the dam foundation from damage and extending the dam's service life. The soil retention layer 202 is a composite structure, with a bottom layer of highly permeable gravel 2021 and an upper layer of fine sand 2022. Through this configuration, the gravel layer 2021 and the fine sand layer 2022 effectively filter and slow water flow, preventing soil and water loss.

[0037] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 A humidity sensor 9 is installed inside each vegetation planting soil layer 203. Through the setting of the humidity sensor 9, the humidity monitoring purpose of each ecological slope protection module 2 can be achieved. A solenoid valve 10 is installed at the top of each drip irrigation pipe 6. Through the setting of the solenoid valve 10, the passage of each drip irrigation pipe 6 can be controlled, and then reasonable drip irrigation can be carried out according to the humidity of each ecological slope protection module 2. A control host 11 is installed at one end of the slope 1. The solenoid valve 10, the external pump body and the humidity sensor 9 are all electrically connected to the control host 11. Through the setting of the control host 11, the control purpose of the electrical components can be achieved.

[0038] In this embodiment, an urban river embankment reinforcement structure introduces an ecological slope protection module 2, which not only realizes the reinforcement of the embankment, but also promotes the restoration of the river ecosystem. The vegetation planting soil layer 203 provides a habitat and food source for aquatic organisms, enhancing biodiversity. At the same time, the roots of the vegetation are closely integrated with the soil retention layer 202, effectively preventing soil erosion and improving the stability of the embankment. Combined with the anti-scour plate 5 made of high-strength polypropylene material, the embankment's anti-scour and corrosion resistance are significantly improved. The intelligent irrigation system of the humidity sensor 9, solenoid valve 10 and control host 11 can monitor the humidity of the vegetation in real time and perform precise irrigation as needed, which not only saves water resources, but also reduces labor maintenance costs. Due to the modular setting of the ecological slope protection module 2, it can be easily maintained.

[0039] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: first, multiple ecological slope protection modules 2 are installed one by one on the upper surface of the slope 1, and each module is firmly anchored on the slope 1 through a support frame 201 and anchor bolts. The soil retention layer 202 in these modules is composed of a gravel layer 2021 and a fine sand layer 2022, which effectively slows down the water flow speed and prevents soil erosion. Subsequently, vegetation is planted in the vegetation planting soil layer 203, and the roots gradually penetrate into the soil retention layer 202, thereby enhancing the bonding force between the module and the slope 1. At the same time, the growth of vegetation also provides a habitat and food source for aquatic organisms, and promotes the recovery of the river ecosystem. In order to connect the various ecological slope protection modules 2, the flexible connecting belt 4 is inserted into the module connecting frame 3 and bolted to the slope. 1 is fixed to form an integral reinforcement structure. This connection method enhances the overall stability of the slope 1 and improves its ability to resist water scour. In terms of irrigation, the water supply pipe 8 provides water to the drip irrigation pipe 6. The humidity sensor 9 monitors the humidity of the vegetation in real time and transmits the data to the control host 11. When the humidity is lower than the set value, the control host 11 automatically opens the solenoid valve 10 on the corresponding drip irrigation pipe 6, providing precise irrigation for the vegetation through the drip irrigation hole 7. This process not only saves water resources but also reduces labor maintenance costs. The anti-scour plate 5 made of high-strength polypropylene material is installed at the water-facing end of the slope 1, effectively resisting the scour and erosion of the water flow, protecting the dam foundation from damage, and further extending the service life of the dam.
