Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of riverbank protection technology, specifically a bank protection structure that facilitates vegetation maintenance. Background Technology
[0002] Bank protection is an engineering measure that involves artificially reinforcing existing bank slopes to defend against wave and current erosion, as well as the effects of groundwater, and to maintain the stability of the shoreline.
[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN215801396U) discloses a revetment structure for vegetation maintenance. A protective frame is installed on one side of the revetment body. An upper fixed plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the protective frame, and a lower fixed plate is rotatably connected to the lower end. A cross is provided inside the protective frame, and the internal space of the protective frame is evenly divided into planting troughs by the cross. This utility model has a simple structure. The protective net initially protects the revetment from silt, and the cross enhances the protective effect of the net, thereby minimizing silt loss. The inclusion of channels, water troughs, and return pipes facilitates rainwater collection on the revetment surface, allowing rainwater to accumulate inside the water trough. A water pump facilitates the flow of water from the water trough into the sprinklers through the water pipes, achieving automatic irrigation of the vegetation on the revetment surface, avoiding manual irrigation and reducing water waste.
[0004] The aforementioned patent describes a revetment structure for vegetation maintenance that requires water pumps to irrigate the vegetation. In actual use, additional wiring is required, and water channels need to be opened inside the main body of the revetment, which increases the amount of construction work, makes the construction process more complicated, and results in low laying efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a revetment structure that facilitates vegetation maintenance and has advantages such as easy irrigation. It solves the problems that revetment structures require water pumps to irrigate vegetation, necessitate the laying of additional wiring during actual use, and require the creation of water channels inside the revetment structure, which increases the amount of construction work, makes the construction process cumbersome, and results in low laying efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a bank protection structure that facilitates vegetation maintenance, comprising a protective plate and two fixing plates. The surface of the protective plate has multiple mounting grooves arranged in a linear array. Rotating bars are rotatably connected inside each of the multiple mounting grooves. Planting boxes are fixedly connected to the surfaces of each of the multiple rotating bars. A water storage tank is fixedly connected to the lower end of the planting box. Four absorbent cotton columns arranged in a linear array are fixedly installed inside the lower end of the planting box. The lower ends of the absorbent cotton columns extend into the water storage tank and abut against the bottom surface of the water storage tank.
[0007] The above solution involves installing a water tank at the bottom of the planting box and water-absorbing cotton columns inside the box. The lower end of the cotton columns abuts against the bottom of the water tank. In actual use, rainwater falls into the planting box, and excess rainwater flows down the cotton columns into the water tank. When the soil moisture is insufficient, the water in the tank gradually diffuses into the soil through the capillary action of the cotton columns, ensuring that the vegetation receives uniform and adequate moisture. This also reduces the amount of wiring and water trough installation, lowers construction difficulty and cost, and thus speeds up construction efficiency.
[0008] Furthermore, rotating seats are fixedly connected to both sides of the four mounting slots on the surface of the protective plate. A connecting rod is rotatably connected inside the rotating seat, and a bolt is slidably connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the rotating seat.
[0009] The above scheme provides a stable pivot point for the connecting rod, allowing it to rotate freely within a certain range.
[0010] Furthermore, T-slots are provided on both sides of the planting box, and nuts corresponding to bolts are slidably connected inside the T-slots.
[0011] Using the above method, when the bolt passes through the connecting rod and is tightened with the nut, the planting box can be fixed to the connecting rod.
[0012] Furthermore, one end of the bolt passes through the connecting rod and extends into the T-slot, where it is threadedly connected to the nut.
[0013] With the above method, the position of the sliding bolt along the T-slot can be adjusted by loosening the nut, thereby adjusting the angle or position of the connecting rod and the planting box.
[0014] Furthermore, each of the two fixing plates is fixedly connected to a connecting block at one end, and both ends of one side of the connecting block are chamfered.
[0015] With the above solution, the fixing plate and the protective plate need to be connected by a connecting block during use.
[0016] Furthermore, two mirror-distributed mounting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the guard plate. Each mounting block has a connecting groove, and a top block is slidably connected inside the connecting groove. A top post is fixedly connected to the surface of the top block, and one end of the top post passes through the mounting block and extends into the connecting block, and is rotatably connected to the connecting block.
[0017] With the above solution, the guard plate and the two fixed plates can rotate relative to each other after installation. During use, the angle between the guard plate and the two fixed plates can be adjusted according to the inclination of the river embankment.
[0018] Furthermore, a spring is fixedly installed inside the connecting groove, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the top block away from the top column, and a cover plate is connected to the surface of the mounting block at the position corresponding to the connecting groove by screws.
[0019] With the above method, during actual installation, align the connecting block with the gap between the two mounting blocks, and then move the connecting block toward the guard plate. When the chamfer of the connecting block contacts the top post, the connecting block will push the top post into the connecting groove until the hole inside the connecting block corresponds to the position of the top post. At this point, the top post will not be under force, and the spring will push the top post into the connecting block. At this point, the guard plate and the fixing plate can be connected.
[0020] Furthermore, each of the two fixing plates has four fixing pins arranged in a matrix array inside.
[0021] With the above method, the fixing nails are evenly distributed on the fixing plate, thereby providing stable support.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] This revetment structure, designed for easy vegetation maintenance, features a water tank at the bottom of a planting box. Inside the planting box are absorbent cotton columns, the lower ends of which abut against the bottom of the water tank. During use, rainwater falls into the planting box, and excess water flows down the absorbent cotton columns into the water tank. When soil moisture is insufficient, water from the tank gradually diffuses into the soil through capillary action, ensuring even and adequate moisture for the vegetation. This design reduces the amount of wiring and water trough installation, lowering construction difficulty and cost, and accelerating construction efficiency. Bolts are threaded into nuts inside the T-slots, and the angle between the connecting rod and the protective plate can be adjusted to ensure the planting trough remains perpendicular to the bottom surface, thus increasing the device's applicability.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This embodiment provides a bank protection structure that facilitates vegetation maintenance, comprising a protective plate 1 and two fixing plates 3. The protective plate 1 has multiple mounting grooves 2 arranged in a linear array on its surface. Each mounting groove 2 is rotatably connected to a rotating bar 6. Each rotating bar 6 is fixedly connected to a planting box 7. A water storage tank 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the planting box 7. Four absorbent cotton columns 14 arranged in a linear array are fixedly installed inside the lower end of the planting box 7. The lower ends of the absorbent cotton columns 14 extend into the water storage tank 8 and abut against the bottom surface of the water storage tank 8. When rainwater falls into the planting box 7, excess water flows into the water storage tank 8 through the absorbent cotton columns 14 for storage. When the soil moisture is insufficient, the water in the water storage tank 7 is slowly released into the soil through the capillary action of the absorbent cotton columns 14, ensuring that the vegetation receives continuous and adequate moisture.
[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5Each of the four mounting slots 2 on the surface of the protective plate 1 has a rotating seat 11 fixedly connected to both sides. A connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected inside the rotating seat 11. A bolt 13 is slidably connected to the end of the connecting rod 12 away from the rotating seat 11. The rotating seat 11 provides a stable fulcrum for the connecting rod 12, allowing the connecting rod 12 to rotate freely within a certain range. T-slots 9 are provided on both sides of the planting box 7. Nuts 10 corresponding to the bolts 13 are slidably connected inside the T-slots 9. When the bolts 13 pass through the connecting rods 12 and are tightened with the nuts 10, the planting box 7 and the connecting rods 12 can be fixed together. The bolt 13 has one end that passes through the connecting rod 12 and extends into the T-slot 9, where it is threadedly connected to the nut 10. When the nut 10 is loosened, the bolt 13 can be slid along the T-slot 9 to adjust the angle or position of the connecting rod 12 and the planting box 7. Through the rotating seat 11 on the guard plate 1, the connecting rod 12, the bolt 13, and the T-slots 9 and nuts 10 on both sides of the planting box 7, the angle and position of the planting box 7 can be flexibly adjusted. This allows the planting box 7 to be adjusted to the optimal position according to the inclination of the riverbank or specific needs, ensuring optimal vegetation growth conditions.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 Each of the two fixed plates 3 has a connecting block 4 fixedly connected to one end. Both ends of the connecting block 4 have chamfered edges. During use, the fixed plates 3 and the guard plate 1 are connected via the connecting block 4. Two mirror-shaped mounting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to both sides of the guard plate 1. Each mounting block 15 has a connecting groove 16, and a top block 19 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 16. A top post 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the top block 19. One end of the top post 20 passes through the mounting block 15 and extends into the connecting block 4, rotatably connecting with the connecting block 4. After installation, the guard plate 1 and the two fixed plates 3 can rotate relative to each other. During use, the angle between the guard plate 1 and the two fixed plates 3 can be adjusted according to the inclination of the riverbank. A spring 18 is fixedly installed inside the connecting groove 16. The end is fixedly connected to the side surface of the top block 19 away from the top post 20. The surface of the mounting block 15 is connected to the corresponding position of the connecting groove 16 by screws with a cover plate 17. In actual installation, the connecting block 4 is aligned with the gap between the two mounting blocks 15, and then the connecting block 4 is moved towards the guard plate 1. When the chamfer of the connecting block 4 contacts the top post 20, the connecting block 4 will push the top post 20 into the connecting groove 16 until the hole inside the connecting block 4 corresponds to the position of the top post 20. At this time, the top post 20 is not under force, and the spring 18 will push the top post 20 into the connecting block 4. At this time, the guard plate 1 and the fixing plate 3 can be connected. There are four fixing nails 5 arranged in a matrix array inside the two fixing plates 3. The fixing nails 5 are evenly distributed on the fixing plates 3 to provide stable support.
[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0037] First, align the connecting block 4 with the gap between the mounting blocks 15 and move it towards the guard plate 1. At this time, the chamfer of the connecting block 4 will contact and push the top post 20 inside the mounting block 15. As the connecting block 4 continues to move, it will push the top post 20 into the connecting groove 16, while compressing the spring 18. This process will continue until the hole inside the connecting block 4 corresponds to the position of the top post 20. When the hole inside the connecting block 4 corresponds to the position of the top post 20, the top post 20 is no longer under force, and the spring 18 will release its stored energy, pushing the top post 20 into the connecting block 4. At this time, a rotational connection is formed between the top post 20 and the connecting block 4, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing plate 3 and the mounting plate 16. The connection between the protective plates 1 is achieved by placing two fixing plates 3 and the protective plates 1 in the predetermined positions and fixing them firmly to the ground with fixing nails 5 to provide stable support. According to the inclination of the river embankment and the needs of vegetation growth, the angle and position of the planting box 7 are adjusted. The nuts 10 are loosened, and the bolts 13 are slid along the T-slots 9 to the desired positions. Then the bolts 13 are tightened to fix the planting box 7. Suitable soil and vegetation are filled into the planting box 7. Over time, rainwater will naturally fall into the planting box 7 and be stored in the water tank 8. When the soil moisture is insufficient, the water in the water tank 8 will be gradually released into the soil through the water-absorbing cotton column 14 to ensure that the vegetation receives a continuous supply of water.
